Creating a backup cd for ps cs4

Hi, I've dowloaded PS CS4 upgrade to my CS and installed the raw files converter etc and it works like a charm.. I'm suddenly aware that my cd that I've burned to back up (adobe suggested I make a cd) won't open the program in my other computer, and opens it very very slowly and clunkily in my laptop, where the dowloaded program resides... what happens when my laptop poops the bed, as I'm sure it will very soon now I've got cs4 on it... I can't back up!! I've contacted adobe support asking about a backup cd but so far no response. What does everyone else do... I shudda ordered the cd Help please...
thanks...Lynn

Thanks Dec9.. thats what I shudda done.. I'll redownload.
Before you do, just because the Download Manager says "downloads complete" doesn't mean it's gone.
Unless you deleted it, it is still there on your hard drive somewhere!
Find it and back it up!

Create full backup image for restore

Hi,
I don't know why I'm finding this information is so difficult to locate. I've really tried to find information on my own but I guess I'll just need to create this post.
What I need is a piece of software, Apple or 3rd Party (don't mind paying) that will create a full, complete image of my iPhone 4. I won't go into the many details for this, they are many. I just want to be able to create a snapshot of my iPhone 4 so I can restore it to the exact state it is in now. I worry that using any software created by Apple will use info from my iTunes / iCloud data storage to create the image..
Let's pretend I have a computer NOT running iTunes. I want to create an image of my phone to transfer to my iPhone that will put it in the exact same state that is / it was before I do any tinkering. My iPhone 4 is not jailbroken. Nothing special.
I'd REALLY appreciate any help you might have that will steer me toward the software I need.
Thanks.

Well, thanks for the responses. I have been involved and writing code for Windows for well over 10 years. While I'm surrently not a developer I pretty much know what's going on in the WINDOWS software development environment. After MANY years I have learned to respect Apple's environment, in fact I'm actually learning to like it quite a bit. I never thought I'd be saying that.
However, in any software environment I've never gotton an answer to a question that was so direct -"you can't do that." While you may be 100% right but that answer is quite surprising given the fact that many millions of users are using Apple everyday.
There has to be an application that can give me just a cloned file from an iPhone so that it can be restored to the way it was prior to a change that might screw things up. It's the whole idea about creating a backup in the first place. In Windoes we have Ghost images and many more type utilities that will give you a file that can just be reloaded to the device. Rather it be a program, a folder, a disk...anything there has to be something unless Applr has written the whole operating system just to not allow images to be taken and then re-installed.
I really have looked for all of the applications that I find on the web and while most of them give me some of the functionally I need to accomplish creating an image, most solutions are really cumbersome. The Copy-Trans set of tools have this functionallity but haven't been designed to do, what I consider, a crucial task. In general an application would generate a (in my case) 32GB file that, with some other utility would re-load that image so that my phone would be rolled back to the state it was prior to making any other changes.
The functionality I'm looking for really doesn't even involve the "phone" part of the iPhone - it's everything else! I just want an application to get me back to the point I am right now. After generating the image I would then like to make those chages and, if they mess up my phone, I could just load the image created and I'd be back to where I was.Maybe I'm asking the question poorly but to me this is just basic functionality.
What['s important to me is backing up all of the unlicensed stuff on my iPhone. Such as pictures, contacts, notes, data in some applications as well as the apps themselves, music I've actually ripped from older CDs I've purchased and legally imported into iTunes / iPhone 4...To Me BASICALLY everything.
Does this help anyone in making the answer to my question a little more clear? This has to be a lack of a Windows person (Me) to everyone else. As I said the more I get into the Apple world of computing tools the more I think that Apple has done some Amazing things.

Can Anyone Tell Me Why Time Machine Won't Create A BackUp Folder for a Programed Backup?

Does anyone know why my Time Machine is NOT creating a backup folder on and regular scheduled backup? Just recently I downloaded the Time Machine Editor and it said to turn off the regular Time Machine (ON/OFF) switch, and just run off the TM Editor. However, at 1am in the morning, it comes up with the error saying it can't create a Backup Folder. I'm sure this is a simple solution but I really don't know how to handle this... Would appreciate any and all help in this matter... Thanks, Gary

Were you already backing up with Time Machine - ie, did you have an existing backup folder on the drive before you started using Time Machine Editor? If not, you probably need to do at least one full backup with TM, and then start using TME to schedule backups.

How to create multiple backup profiles for 2 disks?

Before I screw this up, I wanted to check with others here to see if I'm correct with my plan to use 2 disks to create 2 different types of backups.
I have 1 external HDD that's always hooked up to my iMac. This HDD is for full machine backups. However, I have a WD Passport drive that I want to use to back up multimedia (i.e. iTunes and iPhoto libraries). The last time I plugged in this drive, it screwed everything up... probably because Time Machine kicked in before I could exclude the Passport drive from the backup and the other HDD was near full.
What I was thinking I need to do is:
1.) Turn Time Machine off
2.) Mount the Passport drive
3.) Go into Time Machine perferences and select Change Disk
4.) Go into Options and deselect everything except our iPhoto and iTunes libraries (yuck... there should be a way to just select what you want)
5.) Turn Time Machine back on
6.) Run the backup
7.) Go back and change the disk back to my regular backup disk
This is ugly and seems error prone. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps just deselect my Passport drive and write an Automator task for this? I'd like to do incremental backups, so that doesn't seem like a good solution either.
Thanks

Curt,
Time Machine settings are machine-specific, not "backup-specific." In other words, any exclusions you make will persist across any backups you make.
If you wish to make backups of your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, it would be better to do so manually. When you connect a drive that you might use for this purpose, simply open the Time Machine preferences and place that drive in the excluded list; there's no need to turn Time Machine off beforehand (if you exclude the drive while a backup is in progress, Time Machine will recover nicely and restart the backup).
In making your "additional" backup, I recommend using optical media. Burn your music to audio CDs, which could be re-imported into iTunes. Do the same with your images, which you would naturally burn to CDs/DVDs according to event or subject, then file those disks in an organized fashion. This will help you to keep your images organized, and you will feel safe in deleting some content from iPhoto as your need for it approaches nil. This in turn will help in taking the load off both your startup disk space requirements and Time Machine requirements.
A second external drive could be used to store those libraries, too, but I would do this in addition to the method described above. Optical disks, while bringing their own vulnerabilities, are less prone to failure than hard drives. One might lose the data on a single CD/DVD due to damage, but the rest would be OK. Store everything on one hard drive, and every file is dependent on the vitality of that one device. Overall, optical media wins out on this score. Then, there is the important issue of organization. A single drive allow one to be sloppy; use of optical media encourages (perhaps even enforces) the use of some type of file organization.

How do I create a backup cd for my Tiger Os

I do not have the OS Discs for the imac g3 that I just purchased and am wanting to know how I can create a set of backup discs. Please help me.

To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Built-in FireWire
At least 256 MB of RAM
DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
At least 3 GB of free disk space;
Check out our System Requirements webpage for an overview of the supported hardware for Mac OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
*Not all PowerPC G3 processor-based Macs have built-in FireWire*
If would help us if you could tell us which iMac you have... there's more then one iMac G3. Here's how to find that out. In the Apple Menu top left of your Desktop, (the Apple logo), click there then click, About This Mac. A pane will open. I'm guessing this is either a 233Mhz, 333Mhz... tell us which one it is.
If you wish to have a Mac OS Tiger disk, you can purchase one. They are still available at www.amazon.com. Make sure your iMac meets the minimum requirements.

How To Create Backup Playlist for iPod

Can someone tell me how to create a backup playlist for songs on my iPod? If I ever need to use iPod Restore, I know that the iPod will return to factory settings, and all my songs will be wiped out. I would like to create a backup playlist that will allow me to select all songs and then drag and drop them into the "wiped clean" iPod (under iTunes "Devices") after Restore is complete. I have created an iPod Playlist folder under "Playlists", but iTunes will not allow me to drag and drop music from my iPod into the new folder.

Senuti provides a great software program for backing up ipod songs, etc., to iTunes on a Mac . Here is the link:

I tried it, and it worked perfectly.

Two users share one Apple ID, on two phones. can they be separated without losing phone backups? IE creating a new ID for one of the users?

my in-laws share one apple id for two separate iPhones. They would like to create a new ID for one of the users but maintain his current backup. can this be done?

If you want to create a new account make sure you sign out of everything via the settings. (ICloud, iTunes, facetime, messages, etc) APPS: since the apps were downloaded with a different apple ID, you will always need to use the password for the apple ID that downloaded that particular APP when it needs to be updated. Unless it is free, you can simply delete it and download it under the new apple ID. As for the music, you can keep it on the IOS device, but if it's accidentally deleted, you'd have to sign back into the original account and download from the cloud. (But, you risk getting the 90 day lockout. )

Any idea what I should do?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.

I use MB pro running Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro and create a backup and then transfer ,Although I want Mountain Lion for my MB Pro but can I use the one from MB Air,thnx?

Hello,
If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
Hope it helps,

I am trying to create interactive floor plans for my website Is it possible to do this in Flash CS4?

Is it possible to create interactive floor plans in flash CS4? Are there any tutorials out there to do this?

I don't see why not. Just create the elements you want to move around as MovieClips or swf's, add event listeners to these items listening for MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop.   writh the drag and drop functions and you're set.
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void {
     itemx.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
     e.eurrentTarget.startDrag();
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void {
     itemx.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop);
      e.eurrentTarget.stopDrag();

Make sure your hard drive is formatted properly for the operating system installed. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine what it is. You posted to the 10.5 forum, but your signature says you have 10.9. Here is the tip on what formatting supports what operating systems:

Mediasmart ex485 - cant create backup file for time machine

I've got an Ex485 that I've put a second 750GB drive into. I'm trying to create a 200GB backup file, however the indicator will get to a certain percentage (44%) and then stop. I dont know why its doing this but its very frustrating. I can only create small backup files - 50GB or smaller. And those small sizes are of no use to me, I need it to be able to backup all my data on my mac.

I have the EX490, so it may be different, but I had to manually create a directory on the EX490 called 'Mac', then share that to make it work. It did not work out of the box. When I run the mac software from the EX490 it installs a HP Mediaserver icon in my system preferences. From there it lets me create a Time Machine volume. I have set this up on two separate macs now in the house and both can backup with Time Machine. One volume is 100GB and the other 400GB. Not sure if this helps you? Also running Snow Leopard if that makes any difference.

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents. I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop. Just an iMac. Nothing to share the data with.
Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer. The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word. One is a macro enabled word doc. I am using os x mountain lion.
After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved. I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week. Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with contacts and documents.
My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud. Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this? I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Phyllis

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.
My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud. Would I preserve my data?
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.

Time capsule won't back up - Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder. Any ideas?

I have tried all the resets, the firmware is the latest version, the green light is on.
But I get this message "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder."
Any ideas?

Do setup again.. but make sure both your wireless and your ethernet have ipv6 turned on to local link.
Done this OK, but no idea about IPv6 - something new to me and rather Appley I think?
Unplug the WAN for the moment.. Just LAN port TC to the MBPr ethernet via thunderbolt.. (thunderbird was the kids puppet series.. Thunderbirds are go!!). Done - New real people Thunderbirds movie coming out soon I believe!!!
Reset the TC again.. sorry.. !! You're welcome ... done.
Make sure the ethernet now has an IP address.. 10.0.1.2 - Yep - done that - on ethernet anyway ...
You need to open the network preferences to find out. Yep - that's good ...
****** I then reconnect the TC WAN to the router - is this right?
And then I think I start going round in circles ... boot, reboot, restart, reboot again ...
The final result is green light on TC, but error message when trying TM is "Backup disk is not available".
Then open the airport utility and you should be able to setup the TC.
Do as little setup as possible and then run the TM backup and see how it goes.
I have managed to get Thunderbird to LAN on TC to create a folder on TC and copy a file onto it.
So I guess the drive is working - it must be the software, settings or perhaps even the operator that isn't quite so clever ...
I named network RFG, named device RFGTC. RFG network shown as IP 192.168.0.72
Wireless router is BT Homehub 3 with IP of 192.168.0.254 - is this issuing new IP addresses when rebooting TC?
I have three wireless networks here - the BT Homehub3 wireless, the TC wireless, and also a D-link power socket ethernet thingy for an ethernet connection to the telly - DHP-W310AV which is also wireless link. All are effectively connected to the BT Homehub - is there a conflict there?
Have several times achieved in Airport Utility schematic with internet shown as green, RFGTC shown as green, light on TC green, but no TM backup run ... "backup disc not available."
And there are no tall building around here to hurl myself off ... at least you can go to Sydney Harbour bridge - not too far away ... it was my son in Sydney that persuaded me to scrap Windows and go Apple ... it's all his fault ...
