Backup on a photo shoot

Here is what I would like to set up:
While shooting weddings, as my flash cards fill up, I would like to download those files to my laptop's HD and then also to an external HD. This way I would feel much better about erasing the flash card to move on to more photos.
Is there an Automator script or other automated method that would accomplish these functions?
Thanks for any help.

You could try this:
From Image Capture actions
'Download Pictures' (This uploads the images from your card to the 'Pictures' folder on your user)
then
From Finder Actions
'Move Finder Items' (Moves pics from Pictures folder to, say a specified folder on your laptop) then
'Copy Finder Items' (Creates a backup copy of the files to a specified folder on your external HD
Test this to death though before entrusting someone's wedding pics to it!

Nokia Lumia 820 - frozen photo shoot botton and so...

I have problem with my nokia 820, where side buttons get frozen from time to time...so for example I can't reduce sound level, only increase. Photo shoot botton is frozen as well. I do not know if it is software or hardware problem.
When I turn off /on phone all is ok for while, but not all the time.
Pls. advise.
thanks.

Ensure that all system apps are updated: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082
You may also check if an update is available for the phone by going to Settings > Phone Update. Nokia Lumia Black is currently being rolled out globally, so you may consider waiting for the update: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/
In the event that everything is up-to-date, performing a reset by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone is what we suggest. This will delete the data on the phone, so creating a backup by going to Settings > Backup is advised.

Bridge Freezing after Caching Photo Shoots - Says Running Low on Disk Space & To Purge Cache

Hello,
I'm working in Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000. Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck. I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing. happens, I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
Many Thanks!

Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
So this is a 2 part question:
1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
Thanks, Janis

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

How to backup pictures from 'photo library"

I've been to 3 different stores across the US and no one can answer my questions or just say that my pictures are pretty much lost.
I had a 3G and a 15 MBP that had pictures of my daughter on them at birth. I had to send my MBP back to apple to get fixed and at the time the rep at the store asked if I had backups. I told him the only thing that mattered to me were the pictures on there at the time and that I had a copy of them on my 3G phone and I could synch them to my 17" MBP.
Fast forward, and A) my time machine backup doesn't work from my 15" MBP B) I can't figure out how to get to the pictures to get them off.
Now let me clarify B some.
When I go into the photo albums I have "camera roll" "photo library" "last 12 months" and "last import". I can back up Camera roll to iTunes or download pictures directly from the phone in windows - what I can;t figure out is how to get the pictures out of "photo library". That's where my daughters pictures are.
I have a copy of these pictures on my 3GS phone from previous sync, but the upgrade to the iOS 4 has completely ruined them (the blurry image issue) and the only originals I have left are on the 3G.
I could individually mail each photo to myself if I swapped out my SIM card, but that's a lot of photos to email.. an easier solution would be appreciated.

Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which is where photos that are captured by the iPhone are stored, can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera even though these photos are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone alone for these photos as with any other digital camera, and the same for the iPhone's backup which stores a significant amount of other data.
Photos in the iPhone's Photo Library include photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone only via the iTunes sync/transfer process, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are not included with the iPhone's backup. These photos should be included with your computer's backup. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are a number of 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.

How soon is right away.
You can use the Camera Connection Kit to load your photos from your cameras to the iPad after shooting.
Some people have also had success tethering their iPad to their camera to see the photo within a view seconds of shooting. There have been posts about this with Nikon DSLR camera on the Digital Photographers Forum.

I am currently using iPhone 5 and changing to iphone 6 in sometime. I have taken backup of my photos, videos, contacts, notes and whatsapp. The only thing that remains is my iMessage. Can someone tell me how to backup and restore my iMessages?

iMessages are backed up in the normal backup of your phone so it will be restored when you restore the backup.

Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space?

Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space (but be able to restore them if I need them again?)

Thanx for the link...here's my problem. I built my windows pc and installed 2 hard drives...but the larger one isn't accessible right now...not sure why...but the solid state little one is full. This is a problem I need one of my kid's to help me address. I have a lot of photos 'cause my husbands into photography, we travel a lot, and somehow thousands of photos he took, plus ones I took, plus videos I took, ended up on my iPhone...and they are different in a lot of cases from the photos on the iPad that we share. I know I have 2 address this someday, bu don't have time right now...and I can't take any new photos or videos...or even add an app for that matter, until I free up some space on my iPhone. We've already taken two brief trips where I wanted to use my camera and couldn't...and I was looking for a quick way to address my picture taking ability...because we are leaving for another trip in a week, and another one right after that. This is probably way more info than you need...but there are probably duplicates...but until I go thru them I won't know. I could be wrong, but I thought when I backed up my photos to iCloud that all the photos in the photo app were backed up. Maybe I'm wrong and it's only those in the Photo Stream...in which case I should do something about that as well, 'cause I've upgraded our storage plan twice now...and it is getting pretty expensive...and I don't even know how to use it other than to do a complete restore when you get a new device which I just did recently because my son wanted our old iPad for a graduation present, and I kind of wanted the better camera on the new iPad, so I got one...and it took a week to retrieve everything from the cloud on our wi-fi! I hope this makes some sense to you, and appreciate any advice you have to share!

When installing a system upgrade, do i need to backup my files, photos, etc. first?

No, you don't need to, but it is highly recommended. Upgrades can fail, the computer may fail, the may be a power outage, etc. Never be without a current backup. Never upgrade until after you make a backup.
I recommend making a bootable backup by cloning:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

N95 photo shooting problem with new firmware V11

I have got a problem with photo shooting after upgrading my N95 (Product Code: 0534832) to the new firmware (v11.0.026) via Nokia Software Updater.
Before upgrading the firmware, I can turn off the loud and ugly snapping sound when shooting a photo; all I need to do is to change to Silent Profile (that has Warning tones OFF). But it seems that I can no longer turn that ugly sound off with the new firmware!
Is that a bug? Is there another way I can turn the sound off?

Actually I have 2 N95 phones, one is my GFs, both of them are bought and used in Hong Kong.
The way I test the differences between versions is directly comparing each feature with the two phones, where the one with new firmware has product code #0534832, and the one with old firmware has product code #0548445. Both of them has www.nokia.com.hk printed on the box and manuals, so I assume local law is not an issue.
By the way, I have just discovered that the one with product code #0548445 cannot update via Nokia Software Updater.

Backup of edited photos, any ideas?

Hi everyone,
Im a happy owner of LR running on a PC. (Yes you read it correctly). I have one problem with my work flow that I hope I can get some comments or suggestion on.
I import my photos into folders organized around year, disk and shoot. This structure is backed up to a secondary hard disk.
2005
2006
Disk1
Vacation
Paris
Disk2
Football
2007
Disk1
Christmas
When a "disk" folder is full, containing around 4Gb of pictures I store the whole folder to a DVD for long time storage. This is a scheme that has worked for me in the past years and it seems to work now except for one thing...
When I feel a picture needs some serious work I select Edit in Photoshop. Fine so far. The resulting picture goes into the same folder as the original. It is here that things starts to break down. I do want the picture to be associated with the original but end up in a different folder. The reason is that I do not want to burn a new DVD just to have a complete backup.
The thing I do know is to move the edited file to a folder called Edits, one for each year at the moment. Then I regularly backup this folder to a RW-DVD disk. This fulfils my needs as far as the backup to external storage goes. The remaining thing is to create some sort of association between the edited file and the original. My current approach is to store both files in a collection structure like this
Edits
2005
2006
2007
This keeps the photos together. But I would like to find a better way to do this. The best solution that I can think of is if LR would allow stacking to work across folders. If the destination of the edited files could be configured, great but not neccesary.
This works as long as the list of edited files don't grow to much. Is there anyone out there that has a better idea? I welcome any suggestion but solutions that don't interfere with my initial approach is most welcome.
Best Regards
/Thomas

Thomas,
You've brought up a complicated and confusing issue. You didn't mention one of the most perplexing parts for me. You mention editing in PS but you didn't say how much editing you do in LR, nor how you make your backups. You do know that the images LR has edited do not look like the edits have been applied if you take them from the LR folder, right? The edits are non-destructive (only in the "mind" of LR) and only applied if you view them in LR or export. So I presume you are exporting before you make your DVD backup?
I also would suggest that disk drives are very cheap now. I don't bother much with internal drives any more. Most of mine are external and the LR database and its repository are on external drives. As is the backup drive. I use something called Second Copy for backups. What you would prefer depends on your desires with respect to backup -- there are many philosophies. My "backup" is a direct copy.
I put all originals on CD or DVD. So far those are in this house, although I am planning a change to that. I sometimes put processed files on CD or DVD as well. In particular, we are scanning poor quality slides now and although the scanning program does a good job of trying to repair them, there is still a lot of hand work to be done on each one. So when I'm "finished" (is one ever finished?) I export that bunch and write a DVD.
However, I've also started a new project -- moving files to internet-based offline storage. A colleague in a photography club mentioned that she's using mozy.com. I looked into that and it didn't quite meet my needs (I use multiple computers in multiple houses) and I discovered that the web hosting company I use, bluehost.com, now offers 300G of storage to all customers. So I simply asked that my quota be raised and I'm using that for an additional off-site backup.
Which brings me to non-destructive editing. What I'm backing up there are the files directly from the repository and the LR database. I do have LR write out its metadata before I copy them. But being non-destructive, without a program to turn the XMP into edits, the files will not show the edits. Hence storing the LR database there as well.
Because everything is not yet written to the offline location (uploading is slow), I have an extra smaller disk drive on which I'm going to put the LR repository and LR database to take to our summer house to leave there so I have an offsite repository, albeit always out of date...
I would like to load all of the images from CD and DVD onto the computer before we leave, but it probably isn't going to happen. I think I have enough disk now to do that. -- It's not SO much storage because they are all jpgs and the older the digital images are the smaller they are.
My solution is not easy nor is it really satisfactory but it should save me from disaster, when I get it implemented. By which time I'll probably think up a better plan.
