How to make back ups with Windows!!

I am trying to make a back up from my laptop Windows Vista how can i do this.

Microsoft has a backup software.. it is really horrible but well, it is there..
Download and install a freebie.. Macrium Reflect.. it will do a disk image to time capsule no problem. You can also boot from Bart PE disk to recover or maybe Linux.. haven't tried the linux method.. but that is what is lacking in Microsoft.
If you pay the license for Reflect it will also do incremental backups.. but there are plenty of software backup available and if you are strict in the way you keep files.. a simple xcopy or robocopy script to backup your personal folders to a zip file can work very well. Check out reviews of PC backup software. Just don't use the built in MS version unless you are penniless pauper and suffering several fatal diseases. 5 at least.

  • How do i back up my windows 7 pc to time capsule?

    how do i back up my windows 7 pc to time capsule?

    Can you see the TC disk in win7?
    If not, you need to setup the TC correctly. ie use all SMB compatible names.. not apple names with spaces and apostrophes. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    On the file sharing page set the correct workgroup, generally WORKGROUP.
    And if you can set the guest account on, to read and write.. makes life easier.
    In the windows computer load airport utility for win7. That includes bonjour for windows and access agent to the disk. This is not 100% essential but makes things easier.
    Open windows explorer and type
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress into the address bar.. replacing that obviously with actual name or IP.
    Now apple do not provide backup software for windows. And win7 home editions cannot backup to network drives.. pro and ultimate can.. thanks bill for product differentiation.. no matter, MSbackup is the worst possible backup utility ever made. There are literally hundreds of backup softwares available for windows.. 99% of them can do network backups. Even on home editions. Buy or try one you download.
    I use Macrium Reflect.. free to do disk backup.. you will have to pay for it to do incrementals.
    Genie Time Line has a Time Machine like look about it.. but is expensive.
    Look up reviews of suitable windows backups. Or use robocopy and script it.

  • How do I install itunes with Windows 7?

    how do I install itunes with Windows 7?  I always get a Windows Installer error or administrator error __

    Have tried: download but do not install iTunes, then turn off virus protection and firewall, restart computer, login as admin, then run the iTunes insallation.  After it installs, restart virus protection and firewall and logout and back in as standard user.
    Windows leaves installers running or still resident which conflict with the iTunes installer.

    You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
    Your options:
    1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
    or, if that is impossible,
    2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

  • My iphone does not make back ups anymore. It says that my i-cloud password is wrong. When it clearly is not. What can i do about it?

    My phone doesn't make back -ups anymore. It says my password is wrong, when clearly that's not the case. Can any one tell me how i can solve this?

    You will need the correct email address and password. Try signing on to iCloud on web browser. https://www.icloud.com If that does not work then you do not have the correct credentials regardless of what you think.

  • Does Time Machine make back-ups when nobody is logged on?

    Hello,
    Does Time Machine make back-ups when nobody is logged on and does it continue to back-up when I log off?
    I'm using an directly connected external hard drive to back-up my data with Time Machine, the back-ups are encrypted.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem with Time Machine and solved it by enabling "Enable Power Nap" in Energy Saver:
    System Preferences...
    Energy Saver
    Restore Defaults
    Check "Enable Power Nap: While sleeping, your Mac can back up using Time Machine and periodically check for new email, calendar, and other iCloud updates."

    Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes.  Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

    Visit this page please: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/buying-guide.html and then on the right hand panel of the page you will find InDesign Annual plan to Join Adobe Creative Cloud to leverage the most updated features of InDesign CC. When you've purchased it, you'll be able to download the software through Adobe Download Assistant as a electronic download that you can save to your desktop or any other location. You can then doubleclick the installer executable to proceed with installation and activation later on as the installation completes. If you're having another version of InDesign (older version ) then please let me know if you already downloaded the installer and then waiting to install it on your Windows 8 PC.

  • How to make text columns with adobe muse

    Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?

    Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
    div
    -moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
    -webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
    column-count:3;
    I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

  • Is it possible make a RAC WITH WINDOWS XP?

    is it possible make a RAC WITH WINDOWS XP?
    i saw this link..
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/prewin.htm
    and watch this information:
    Operating System
    RAC for Windows 32-bit is supported on the following operating systems:
    - Windows 2000 with service pack 1 or higher. All editions, including Terminal Services and Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Edition (MLE), are supported.
    - Windows Server 2003

    If you have metalink access you can check the CERTIFY matrix....I just checked and looks like Oracle10gR2 RAC on Windows XP with both 32bit is not supported, but 64bit is.
