Can I make a backup copy of my progam CD's

Dear Board Members,
Can I make backup CD's of my programs such as Office 2004 for MAC as long as I copy the license codes and passwords for them.
Could I then reinstall if I lost the originals or if they were stolen or destroyed?
Thanks,
B3

the easy answer is YES. If you have a copy of Toast, you can use the "copy" function and it will make an exact duplicate of the disk.
Hope that helps

How can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open?

how can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open? I just wan't to make a backup to my pictures not my entire computer so how does Time Machine work on that?

you could also clone the drive or volume, or just some of the user folders. look for carbon copy cloner, then enable the "use checksum to insure file integrity."
you can have multiple iPhoto Library catalogues in different locations.
Continue to use TimeMachine and make sure it has 350% or more capacity than your system and data.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

How do I make a backup copy of purchased software ?

Hi everybody :
I just purchased PhotoShop Elements 12 (Download). How do I make a backup copy of this software ? In the event of a System Crash. I have a copy on my DeskTop and in my Startup Menu.

Hi stanulg1952
You need not to make a copy .. In case your system crashes, you can download it again ....
Otherwise, You can write it on a optical Disc and use it in future ....But make sure you keep the Installation files on the disk, not the one which are there on your desktop after installtion

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1813
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1105
And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:

iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.
If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net). They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

Bridge does not make a backup copy

Evening
I was about to do a backup of my images and while I was looking at them, that although I had selected Bridge to make a backup copy and specified a directory it do not do that.
I have run many trials trying to get it to write a backup but it does't
When I start the download from my CF card I set the paramaters and options which in this case is simply rename to shot date and make a backup copy.
The progress window says it is copying the image it then switches to say it is making a backup copy. But yet that backup copy never appears.
I managed to get a bunch of screen snapshots and it appears Bridge is making a copy but it is simply writing it to the primary directory, same as the first copy so it is merely overwriting itself. I know this because when it says making Backup Copy it shows the destination directory which is the same as the first copy. I check the directory I specified for the backup and it says D:\images\raw but still puts them in C:\-----
Any ideas why Bridge is not placing a backup copy where I want it?

I suspect that it does not matter whether IBA runs on a desktop or a laptop, but I don't know everything, and I was hoping that you might know something I don't and might be willing to share it. But, apparently not.
You're not capable of knowing if you are using a desktop or laptop?
That's a rather insulting question, don't you think? Instead of asking leading questions, why don't you just simply say "well, if it's a laptop, the problem might this whereas, if it's a desktop, the problem might be that"?
At any rate, my take on the situation is that it doesn't matter whether it's a laptop or a desktop. If you disagree, I'd love to hear why it might matter, and I'll be happy to stand corrected.

Do Internet recovery, download the installer, choose an external HD to install it to, when the comp restarts, disconnect the External HD before it turns back on.
Extract the Install.dmg and put it on your desktop, then use disk utility to install that onto your external HD.

How can i make a backup ?

hello !!!
i want make a backup for my Macbook pro

The easiest way is usually using a backup software.
With your Mac by default you got the 'Time Machine'. It's a nice software.
As 'clintonfrombirmingham' already meantioned, you should get an external drive to back up, so if something happens to the harddisk (drop the laptop etc.), you can restore it to a different disk.
Having that said, Time Machine is nice and all, but I'd recommomend using 'Carbon Copy Cleaner'.
It does essentially the same as Time Machine, however the backups you do with CCC are bootable.
Means, in case the harddisk in your laptop dies, you can use the CCC backupon an external disk to boot your MacBook up from.
In general, if it's just for smaller files, not the whole HD, just get a Dropbox.

I can not make a new copy in ICloud, is it the available storage?

My Iphone 5 prompts me to make a new copy since the one in the cloud is 12 weeks old, I try to make it but the phone starts calculating the remaining time for the copy and stays that way all the time. I have a plan for 15GB, and it says that I have 6.7 GB left, apparently the new copy will take 8.2 GB, which may explain the impossibility to make a new copy, this mean that I need space for the old copy and the new copy? Or there is another reason. Thanks

Hi Nicolas01!
I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iCloud backups. The article is about a multitude of iCloud backup messages and can be found here:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
It looks like the specific message you have referenced leads to a link about managing your online storage, which I believe you will find helpful as well. That link can be found here:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

How can I make a migration copy of my email addresses for use in another program.

It is necessary to make a migration copy of all our email addresses for transfer to windows express.
Our office overseas can not use Thunderbird & needs all our email addresses stored in Thunderbird copied for migration into their windows express program. How can this be achieved.?
I think we may also need to transfer email copies too, can this be done.?
If so, how.?
Regards Kym

Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
What formats can this mail software import?
Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option

How can I keep a backup copy of my iTunes library with tracks not coded and scrambled

I have about 80GB in my iTunes library and would like to keep a backup copy of all the music in folders under composers, without them being scrambled or any the numbers which are automatically placed in front of each track, which is what happens if I drag and drop them from iTunes. How can I achieve this?

Thaks for trying but this isn't relevant. I'm not refering to CDs or importing material. I have an iTunes library with nearly 20,000 tracks in it. It is also backed up with a straight copy of the entire works.
What I want to do is back up the whole lot in a package containing only the music under it's name and it's original track numbers. I can show best what I mean by dragging and dropping just two piano concertos out into an external folder.
e.g.
if this how they apper in my itunes play list
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 1. (Allegro con brio)
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 2. (Adagio)
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 3. (Rondo_ Molto allegro)
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 1. Allegro Con Brio
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 2. Largo
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 3. Rondo_ Allegro
What I get when I drag these out into a folder on an expernal drive (or even on the desk top of my iMac) is this
01 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 1. (Allegro con brio).m4a
01 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 1. Allegro Con Brio.m4a
02 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 2. (Adagio).m4a
02 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 2. Largo.m4a
03 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 3. (Rondo_ Molto allegro).m4a
03 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 3. Rondo_ Allegro.m4a
You can imagine what a mess this is when I drag 20,000 tracks into an external backup folder. All the track ones (several thousand of them) of every piece in the entire collection will be listed first. And then all the track 2s.
I can't sort that out.
If there is a solution I think it possibly lies in the iTunes preference options. There is one, but I daren't try it for fear of unscrabbling the whole iTunes library and completely throwing all the play lists, folders and everything into a total unsorted mess. I refer to the tick box in the iTunes preference folder 'Keep iTunes media folder organised (places files into album and artist folders and names the files based on disk number, track number and song title)'
If I untick this would I unscramble years of carefully sorting disks as I imported them?
