Back-up and hard copy of tags etc for photos
One of the things I use PE7 (and its predecessors) for is to keep track of the contact sheets I make of my film negatives. Each sheet has a number, date and a number of tags that allow me to find all the photos taken on a particular date with a particular subject. Is it possible to make a hard copy of all the information I have on each contact sheet? I want to store the hard copy in the same binders as I keep the original contact sheets. The negatives and contact sheets will last for quite a few generations, and I'd like to keep all the information together for whomever may be interested in these pictures at some far-off future date (I know, presumptuous of me to think anybody might be, but just in case).
I'm not clear on precisely what form you want the hard copy, but PSE doesn't provide you any way to get a list of tags and photos that you could put into another program, e.g. Word. However, the free utility psedbtool will dump out an Excel spreadsheet containing the contents of your catalog, including filenames, lists of tags and albums, etc.:

This may or may not meet your needs.

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac if I already have it for my MacBook?
I have Leopard on my iMac, and Snow Leopard on my MacBook (both with all available updates)~I tried to use the Snow Leopard Install DVD from the MacBook to upgrade the iMac, but it said "Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer." Why??? Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac? Are there different upgrades for the iMac vs. MacBook?
I think I understand that once I have both computers on Snow Leopard, the Lion upgrade would be ONE upgrade for BOTH computers {I'm guessing I would need the client version for at home use}. Also, once Lion was on one computer, would I just go into the Mac App store on the other one and download the upgrade on the other one? But no additional fee would be charged? Lastly, I read about the combo option that includes all updates to Lion since it's release~would that be the main Lion upgrade on the Mac App or would I have to search for it?
Thanks for your help!The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
Make sure your machine meets requirements
Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
At least 2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB

I did my 7.1.2 update via iTunes. Half way through it stopped working saying it does not detect my phone. Now my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode and hard resetting does not work for me. iTunes also will not detect my phone now
Thank you SO very much for posting this. I had the exact issue with my iPad Mini after the same upgrade. Hard reset failed, computer would not recognize iPad. I had read all the other instructions and nothing worked.... YOUR SOLUTION WORKED FOR ME - with a slight variation.
I followed your lead and connected my iPad Mini to another computer, fired up iTunes, it saw the iPad Mini in Restore Mode and allowed me to go into Restore (yes, it wiped all of the data but I have a back up on the other computer that would not see it after the failed update). It installed the latest iOS 7.1.2 as well. I then disconnected it from that computer, reconnected it to the computer that would not see it prior and it then saw it as a new iPad and allowed me to Restore my backup and now it's all good!
I detailed my steps only because you downloaded the previous version - 7.1.1 whereas I downloaded the latest version (7.1.2) and then restored my back up. -
my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Importing music back in with statistics, updated ID3 tags, etc.
Hi there,
I want to format my computer however I have over 8gb of music that I will burn to DVD and then after I have formatted import back into iTunes.
However, I was wondering if there was a way that I could keep my statistics such as Top 25 and each songs play counter? Is there a way to import this information back in?
The majority are in MP3 format if that helps.
And secondly, if I have edited the tags inside of iTunes will this information stay with the .mp3? For instance if I changed the Artist Name ...has this permanently been stored so when I import again all information will be the same as before or will I have to edit each one again?
Thank you.Well....You can Use iTunes for Backing up your Music, but I do not favor this mehtod.
It works fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not create or maintain backups of the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is crucial that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the ‘iTunes Library.itl’ metadata file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
iTunes Files to Backup (anytime you make additions or changes to the Music or Library that you want to retain)
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have Two Computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the Second Internal Hard Drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link -
Time Capsule as a Back up and Hard Drive Storage
HI
I want to use my TC as the back up location and also as a hard drive on the Network. I know this can be done but do i need create folders, or partition or anything? Or will it just happen that the back up is in a folder and I can create folders to store other stuff? It is the 1 TB version
ThanksThe HDD inside the Time Capsule enclosure cannot be partitioned. Just create new folders and move/copy files over.

Is it possible to backup contacts on Icloud and also have a hard copy ?
I have recently had a very disturbing experince with iCloud. I started using it to have my contacts online and sync with my phone and computer.
long story short had my contacts deleted. ok now what. as there si no back up on the icloud, apple said that there was nothing they could do.
I was happy that I found a older back up of my contacts and emidiatly stopped using icloud. To risky not having a back up at all.
So my question is there a way I can have a back up on my computer and still using icloud so I don not have to hard wire my phone to get them transfered ?I am a bit confused. iCloud is my default calendar and contacts for all my devices because like JustJesper I got duplicates if not. I back up to time machine. So if iCloud loses all my contacts and calendars, will TM have stored events and contacts - gvien that iCloud is the default calendar. I guess where I get confused is the line about these events also being on my Macbook which I back up. Are they essentally duplicated on the MacBook as well as the cloud in which case TM does capture them?
In the event of iCloud losing my data, and I can back up from TM, then would TM restore to the Mac in a location that would sync to the cloud and hence restore across my devices?

Soft and hard copy Of CCNA R&S
Hi all..I just passed my 200-120 exam 2Monts ago and I just revived email from Cisco about the certification..Now I am wondering whether to choose the soft copy or hard copy for the certificate..Can anyone recommend me which to choose.
My Cisco ID is : CSCO12670248.
Kindly help me.
Thanks and Best regards:
Tabassum ShanPlease make backup before applying this type of reset, since it will restore the phone’s settings to factory default as well as erasing all the data in the phone memory.
1st option
Soft Reset (when you CAN still use the phone's touchscreen)
You need to use the touchscreen dialer to enter this code: *#7370
Press Select.
Voila, your phone is back to normal.
Congratulations.
Last option
Hard Reset (if you CANNOT use anymore the phone's touchscreen)
You need to use the phone's buttons and your 4 fingers to do this trick.
Switch off the phone. (Remove the battery if you cannot turn it off)
Press the buttons: GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously (DO NOT LET GO OF THE BUTTONS) until you see the “Select Country” option after the Nokia's Handshake Welcome Logo appear.
Choose your country, enter the date and time.
Voila, your phone is back to normal.
Congratulations.
Note:
If you were asked for a code, just type: 12345 (unless you change it) -
Logo Visible in Print Preview, but not in pdf and hard copy
Hi,
We have uploaded a logo to be shown in the footer. We are able to see the logo in the print preview, but when we print the invoice (SAP Script), it is not seen in the hard copy. We tried by saving it as a pdf, even in the pdf, it is not displayed.
We are on SAP 4.7
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Mickhi,
Am not sure what the exact issue could be, but i am expecting there may not be sufficient space to fit the logo. I suggest you to check the output by placing the logo in header whether its coming or not in hardcopy, that may help you.
regards

NOKIA X6 Back-up and Hard Reset
i backup my phone everyday. Now ive have this freezing problem an my phone wont switch on. Just incase i want/need to do a hard reset, i want to know what the back up ..backs up?.....does it save contacts, images etc?....
and IF i do a hard reset....what will i loose?@aircadetgirl. Further to my above post, I back up to PC Suite which backs up the following:
User files from phone memory
User files from mass memory
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Messages
Bookmarks
Settings - Phone model - specific backup.
As you back up your phone daily I would suggest you do the following:
On the phone dialer type *#7370#. You will need the security code, 12345 unless you have changed it. This will take your phone back to the state it was in when you took it out of the box.
After the above operation completes use your phone for a period of time to see if it works satisfactorily. If it does, reinstate your last update and see what happens.

I re-installed Firefox v. 9.??? The icons are white bordered in gry/blk and appear hollow. The header is all white and there is no contrast between the icons and the header, except for the outline of the icons. I have some bookmarks in the menu bar and they are fine, although the text is baby blue but again over the white background. Can I send you a picture (paint) of it?
Thanks, but the problem isn't the creation of a screenshot. It has to do with the coloring of the headers and icons. Submitting a screenshot, with my question/problem, as a means of better explaining the problem, may have further illustrated the problem I am having.
