Do Memos backup to your hard drive?

I am about to buy an iPhone4. I am migrating from a Treo 755p. There is a Memo app on the Treo that when you sync to your computer it backs up to Palm's Desktop calendar app.
Where does the Memo app on the iPhone backup/sync to?
I've exported my memos to a tab delimited file. Can I get them on to my iPhone somehow? Is there a corresponding desktop app for memos on your iphone?

Since you're running Tiger, you can't use Time Machine.
But you can use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. They're both easy to use.

How do I backup my external hard drive to time capsule?

How do I back up my external hard drive to time my time capsule?

Two requirements:
1) The drive must be connected directly to your Mac via USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt.
2) The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
After both requirements have been confirmed......
Click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Click Time Machine Preferences
Click Options
Here you will see a list of items that are currently Excluded from backups, so your hard drive will appear here.
Click on the name of the hard drive to highlight it
Click on the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the list of items that are Excluded from backups
The drive will be backed up on the next pass that Time Machine makes. Time Machine will continue to back up any changes that are made on the hard drive on subsequent backups.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

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 do I restore my phone from a backup on a hard drive?

I just bought a new iPhone and my computer which had the back up from my old phone broke. I have the hard drive from my computer inside another computer. How do I access my old phones backup from the hard drive, through iTunes and onto my new phone?
NOTE: it's not an external hard drive, it is a PC hard drive that I installed into another PC to access it.

Hi
This may help it explains where backups are stored on your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Some people have said that they cannot access it directly because of it's format. However, there are programs that will allow you to see and extract data from the backup, a google search for iphone backup extractor might help you out here.
Hope this helps

Does MB Pro do it's own backup to the Hard Drive?

I restored my MB Pro to factory settings because it was acting up in all sort of ways, mainly I was running out of space even thought I didn't have that much data. The computer has 250 gb. And I have 50 gb in music and another 50 in pics. That's it. The rest is PDF and what not totaling no more than 20 gb at most. So when I went to the about my Mac and clicked on storage it shows that there is 60 gb in back ups. Where is this stored and can I delete it?. I have time machine set up with time capsule and do frequent back ups plus and external HD where I keep pics and music and important documents so this "in computer back up" eating my memory I do not need. Also in about my Mac under storage as well shows under "other" a significant amount of storage used. Right now i just finished reinstalling Lion and there's already 13gb used by "other" is there a work around this???
Thanks guys

Does MB Pro do it's own backup to the Hard Drive?
Yes, it does. Well, more exactly, Time Machine does.
The backups are "local snapshots" that Time Machine uses in conjuction with the backups makde to your Time Capsule.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
There is a terminal command that can be used to turn the feature off, but I can't say that I recommend it as the local snapshots serve as a kind of safety net between regular Time Capsule back ups.

When I plug in my ipad it automatically tries to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

When I plug in my ipad it automatically tires to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

You can open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.

My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine.
I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine. I currentlly see no way to do this.

There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):
Using AirPort Utility to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk

How to Backup & Partition Internal Hard Drive

I have a macbook pro 2.4ghz. I need to partition my hard drive to have a separate volume for photoshop scratch disk. How do I actually back up the drive prior to the reformatting? Do I create a bootable clone to restore the main volume.
Specific steps would be very helpful. Thanks

So, using Carbon Copy Cloner I first do a full copy of my internal drive (the one I will partition). This will copy any data files as well, correct? I then format the internal drive, creating the partition I need (making sure one is adequate to hold my back up/full copy). How do I then restore the full copy from the external drive to the internal partition? Does this include the OS or do I need to reinstall that and run for all of the updates, etc?
The basic thing to keep in mind is if you want to clone a complete, bootable copy of your drive, the +target partition+ (regardless of how big whole drive is) has to be at least as large as the items on the partition you are copying. With this mode of copying it is all or none but you need to use it to get the bootable option.
Cloning will copy your data files, OSX, OS9, updates, etc., everything. It makes a _complete, bootable duplicate_ of your internal drive when used in full copy mode. So you need to start off with the external firewire empty, or not care about anything on it because it will all get erased.
First, repair permissions on your internal and make sure it is in a healthy condition. Then use CCC as I instructed in an earlier post and clone your internal to the external. Run Disk Utility and verify the external drive just to make sure there weren't any problems while cloning. Then go into your System Preferences, Startup Drive, select OSX that should now appear on your external, and restart. This does double duty of making sure that your clone really is bootable, and you are now working off your external drive so you can work on your internal drive from the external drive (no need for startup disks). Things should look pretty much identical to how they looked when you were working off your internal except your external drive will probably be positioned in the upper right hand corner instead of your internal.
Oh, if you have like 90 GB of files this can take quite a while.
Once you have established the external drive is working you can start up Disk Utility and partition your internal drive. Unless you need me to I will have breakfast now instead of doing a blow-by-blow account of that. Just keep in mind that if a "get info" of your external drive says you have xx.xx GB of stuff then you need to make sure one of your internal partitions is at least that size. Oh, it is probably a good idea to make the first partition on your internal drive the one to which you will re-clone (if that is a word) your original drive contents; the one with the operating system.
Once you have partitioned, you run CarbonCopyCloner and again use full copy mode to copy the things on your external onto one of the internal partitions. Run verify on the internal partition just to make sure all looks good. Use Startup disk to choose the internal's copy of OSX as startup and reboot.
At this stage you have one bootable internal partition with everything that used to be on that drive, and an external drive that is bootable. I find the latter very handy because Disk Utility requires you be booted from a different drive that that which you are repairing and using startup disks is slow.
You also now have a backup of your internal drive. If you want to, in future you can use CCC in non-full mode to backup your main internal partition. It will just copy off modified files, but you can read the details in the CCC Readme.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Best Way to Backup a Raid hard drive on Windows 7 Pro OS

This is my set-up
Lenovo W520 on factory installed Windows 7 Professional OS
Two 500 GB Internal Hard drive on Raid 1 (factory installed):
NO DVD burner
Have a 2TB External Hard drive partitioned into three -
#1--600GB; #2-- 600GB;    #3--600+GB
I already created a "Factory recovery disk" from the thinkvantage tool and put it in partition #1
The next step is to create a backup of my system, application and data.
Thinkvantage tools offers 2 options:
1. Windows backup
2. Rescue & Recovery
Question 1:
With the set-up as listed above, what is the best & most effective way to backup a Raid 1 on Windows 7 Pro OS?
How do you do it? How often to backup? (I am just a beginner on RAID)
Question 2:
OR do you use other Back-up/ Imaging software??? (e.g. Acronis,paragon system backup,norton ghost , novabackup, nero backit up)

Hi, Herb,
   RAID is no substitute for backing up your hard drive. For example, if you get a virus it will destroy the data on both RAID drives. In fact, I don't think that RAID 1 has much value for most users. Odds are much higher that you will encounter a software (virus) issue than a sudden disk failure. However, if RAID makes you feel more secure, then by all means.
   I recommend getting Acronis True Image Home. It is cheap and it works. It will enable you to take a snapshot of your hard drive and recover with ease.
Acronis
   Last thing - I'm guessing your external drive is USB 3 or eSATA? If so, it has the speed you need to run complete backups. I do mine every evening, as I can't afford to lose a whole day's work.
                                                        Best, ZZ
P.S. I recommend rotating multiple external drives. I use three and keep one in my car. Yes, external drives can fail/ be stolen, etc.

Reformatting your hard Drive

Will I lose all my itunes if I reformat the hard drive?
please help.

They will be erased in the reformat (everything on your hard drive is erased). If you have everything in iTunes backed up you can reinstall your backup copy and you shouldn't see any difference.

How can I save my iphone backup on my hard drive?

Hi Guys!
I would like to save my iphone backup on my hard drive cause I don't have enough space on my computer...
Could you help me? How can I select on itune where I want to save it??
Cheers
Alex

Hey there alexsansdrap.c,
I see that you want to find where your iTunes backups are saved in order to transfer them to your external hard drive. You can find the location of the save files by using the information in the following article:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204269
Where your backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

CS4 : Does Adobe Save A Secondary copy of your Already Saved File 2 Your Hard Drive?

Hello all! I run CS4 on my PC laptop, windows vista, 32 bit, 280 gb of hard drive and 4 gb of ram. So here's my dilemma. I've had to reformat my hard drive a couple of times because it gets to critical mass after 4 months of heavy CS4 and internet usage. I do run the latest version of Norton 360 on my system and use google chrome as my browser. I'm taking stuff off my laptop now in the way of files and I've backed up my files on a WD external drive. I also don't really run any other programs except the ones in CS4 (mainly PS, Illustrator and InDesign). I didn't even put Office on my system. So I was wondering if CS4 or any of the CS versions back up any of your saved files to some elusive place on your hard drive as a secondary option. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why my hard drive fills up so fast. I just finished my last semester of school and I realize that some of the folders I had on my desktop were in the GB, but I'm not getting why it fills up quickly. Is there something I should "set" when I'm installing CS4 so that it doesn't hog all my hard drive. I point the finger at Adobe because that's the only really big program that I know of that I run on my system. I'm almost done taking off all my important files/folders and I'm going to install CS6. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody and take care. :-)

I can't, for the life of me, figure out why my hard drive fills up so fast.
Nobody can know, but from your all too eager Norton software quarantining files en masse or creating "security backups" to Windows' own system restore to unfinished print jobs to whatever there could be a million reasons. Also your temporary files may simply be filling up, which in part is normal, but not so normal if those files are e.g. Photoshop swap files that have been left in place after program crashes. Refer to some of the info here and do some housekeeping:
Installation Preparations
Beyond the usual config files in your user folder, Adobe don't keep backups, but naturalyl some programs have auto-save features that may also produce one or the other gigabyte of data...
