How can I change the ipad2 backup location

How can I change the local computer backup location for an iPad2 (iOS 5.0.1) to a folder I designate so it doesn't go through a specific user account (i.e.- If I create a folder directly on c: then point the backup there)?

  • How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

    (Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
    Hello,
      As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook.  There are two major problems with this:
      First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
      Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location.  This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
      We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks.  But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location? 
      Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As?  That's where I would start looking.  Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

  • How can I change the hard drive location of the iCloud Drive?

    I am using a SSD for my boot drive, but it's space is limited.
    So I would like to relocate the iCloud Drive to one of my internal HDs, but I see no option to do this.
    Let's hope Apple would make such an obvious option available.
    I don't want to change the location of my entire Home directory, as that would slow down my access to cache files, etc...
    I had one suggestion of using the terminal with an "ln -s" command to create a soft link.  However, it appears the iCloud Drive is store in ~/Library/Mobile Documents.  If I remove this directory or any subdirectory, they are automatically recreated, I assume by some sort of background process. 
    Does anybody know if this is possible, and how to accomplish it?
    Thanks.

    How to use an SSD with your HDD
    If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
    After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu. You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed. When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
    Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

  • How can I change the date or location of multiple photos in Photos OSX?

    In iPhoto it was easy to change the date, description, title or even the location of a bunch of photos at the same time, is it possible to make it in the new Photos App?

    It's possible to adjust the date and time, and pretty much the same way as in iPhoto. For the others, search the Photos forum, folks have posted Applescripts that will help.

  • How can I change the "next backup time" in Time Machine

    I have multiple Macs all of which are running Snow Leopard and all of which back up to the same Time Capsule. Lately they seem to all have synchronized to back up at exactly the same start time which really slows down the individual backup times since the Time Capsule is slow to begin with. I would like to force Time Machine on each Mac to start at a different time so that only one Mac at a time would be backing up to the Time Capsule. Is there a way to do this?

    I don't think you can actually specify a time but the previous and next back up time is offered.
    You could turn off Time machine for a couple of hours on one, just to test, then restart it.   It should then be two hours later than the rest.   If the theory works it's just a question of patiently organising things.

  • How can i change the default profile location to another directory or environment variable?

    Hi,
    I need to move where Mozilla Firefox creates its profiles. it currently creates in AppData\Local\Mozilla... normally that is ok. In my network unfortunately AppData\Local is synchronised using Citrix Profile Management tools. the size of the Firefox profile whilst only several meg causes slow login times for my customers. So we currently have folder re-direction enabled and we would like to move the Firefox profile to a directory within documents i.e. %USERNAME%\documents.
    I have found some ADM templates on the internet however, they have not had enough options including the VBS files i spotted that they are for a very old version. i have tried to find the correct location in the registry under HKLM\software\policys\Mozilla however this does not exist.
    We are using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
    Mixed Versions of Firefox used but for sake of arguments version 28.
    If someone could help that would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    David Coates

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

    How can I change the password on my stolen iphon5 which shares data with my ipad2

    If you had Find My iPhone activated on your iPhone, you can remotely wipe it, which you can do through iCloud on your computer.  If you did not have Find My iPhone active on your phone you're out of luck.
    You should immediately change all passwords for your Apple ID, email, any apps where you had a password, or any where you have credit cards tied to shopping.
