Does the new Aperture use Time Machine at all?

One thing about Aperture 2 that bugged me was that the library is automatically excluded from Time Machine. In iPhoto, you can recover a photo or bring back a previous version with Time Machine, but this does not seem possible with Aperture. Does the new version of Aperture take advantage of this at all?

Mine isn't. I just started using Aperture 2 about 3 weeks ago, and it has been backed up by TM ever since.

  • New to Using Time Machine, Should I Even Use It in This Case?

    Hey everyone
    So I just started a full Time Machine backup on my Macbook Pro to my Seagate 2TB External Hard drive. I make music, so I have a lot of projects and sounds, which I would like to have backed up just incase something happens to my Macbook. I have around 250GB of stuff on my computer, and it says that's it's going to take around 12 hours to back everything up. I'm new to using Time Machine, so I have a few questions:
    Will this occur all the time if Time Machine is running? Like, will it keep updating the data I already have and replacing it, or will it just backup new changes/files after this first backup is complete? Is there an option/preference I can change so it only backs up new changes/files instead fully backing up every day?
    Does Time Machine store the files/folders onto the external hard drive, or is it just like a backup file that you run which backs up everything?
    Thank you guys in advance, really need help with this!

    You should not use a Time Machine backup drive for permanent data storage. Use a separate drive for that purpose. It's much safer. Time Machine will over time delete files if they are deleted from the source drive which makes Time Machine a poor long term storage option. If you want a permanent storage option buy a separate drive for that purpose, but do not use Time Machine. User other backup software:

    Re Time Machine
    I have an external  hard drive with files I backed up manually over the past 2 years 1TB of memory.
    I am finally taking the leap to use Time machine to back everything.
    will I have to reformat that drive, thus wiping my previous back ups?
    can I split it the drive in two partitions?
    Also
    as I have two separate Macbook Pro's- one older than the other.
    OSX 10.68
    the other is
    OSX 10.75
    can I back them up separately?
    or even synch and merge files and folders etc? between the two?

    You CAN use a drive with files already on it to store Time Machine backups. But long term, that is not recommended. You do not need to reformat or re-partition the drive to do this. Once Time Machine Backups are established, you could remove the old files.
    But do not delete Time Machines files with the Finder -- that can cause it to lose its place and lose everything.
    With the cost of backup drives under US$100, it might be a better idea in the long run to get another drive. Best results from Time Machine is a drive about 3 times larger than the drive(s) you are backing up.

    Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
    If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes.  If not, you may have to do some finagling. 
    Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.  If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
    If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

  • Does the new ipad use pulse width modulation to control the brightness of the display?

    Does the new ipad use pulse width modulation to control the brightness of the display? I have photophobia and migraines and am unable to use displays that use this technology due to it triggering a headache.

    You'll have to go to an Apple Store and view the screen to see if it's OK for you.  If a store is not convenient, buy one from Apple online and check it out.  You have 14 days to return it for a full refund, no questions asked.

  • HT201250 It's amazing how little help "Help" is in the Mac on using Time machine to do a full "restore" .. Oh sure.. It says you can do it .. but offers no way of doing it by explanation .. Then we have this article that suggests to re-start with the "Com

    .. but what do ya do when the "Command-R" keys do nothing at restart .. sigh!  

    Thanks Matt, for you quick help on this .. Unfortunately, the link is no help at all.  Well.. It seems to offer help, and it sorta gets you started with some cautions .. but, actually provides no instruction on how to fully restore using Time Machine.  It quickly launches into "Migration Assistant" which is not Time Machine software.
    My problem is with Time Machine .. and the instructions on how to use it for a full restore .. Those instructions simply don't exist, or are hidden, and left as an exercise for the student to find.
    Ironicly, there was nothing wrong with my computer, until Apple issued a recall to replace the 1TB drive in iMacs. After 3 years of my iMac working perfectly ...I made the fatal choice to let Apple replace my drive, at the California,  Escondido, North County Apple store.   A work order was generated that would replace the drive, and a full restore would be done by the store, as I (like most everyone else) had no idea how to use Time machine for a full restore. 
    When I got the computer home (after 6 days in the store) .. I was shocked and horrified to find all data was gone.. it was essentially a new computer out of the box.  They didn't "restore" anything.
    I had backed up everything just before taking the iMac in. Unfortunately, all of my attempts at using Time Machine failed to produce any meaningful results .. And now .. a worse problem has developed.. When launching Time Machine.. the drive ( which does mount on the screen) is no longer listed as a "Time Machine Backup Disk)  And apparently, cannot even be accessed by Time machine.
    I called the Apple store .. They are sorry for the screw-up, and are saving my old drive, and will put it back in.. or use it, somehow, to restore my computer.  Naturally, I do not trust them to be successful.   
    .. then there's the problem with the backup drive .. apparently caused by Time Machine.... sigh!

  • Migrating to new Mac using Time Machine

    Hi,
    I will be getting a new Mac soon and I want to take all of my apps with me in their current state so I will be using Time Machine to migrate to the new machine.
    I was wondering what are the essential files that I need to transfer over so that all the apps stay in the same state as they were on my current Mac. (Without the need for me to re-enter licence codes and go hunting for libraries etc.)
    The main applications this is a worry for are:
    Photoshop CS4 (and its affiliated apps)
    Aperture 2
    iWork '09
    various other applications that have licence codes attached to them

    it's more to do with the preferences being saved intact on my new Mac, I need to know what essential files to choose off my Time Machine backup when I Sync it with my new Mac. I don't want the whole drive migrated because it is full of rubbish I want to get rid of.
    If you have any idea of what preferences and other library files are essential then that will be a great help.

  • How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    I am a 'newby' to the discussion world.  Hope I am doing this right.  How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, dragthe Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.
    Regards.

  • HT201250 can I back up files from one hard drive to the other hd using time machine?

    I would like to back up my files automatically from one hard drive to another skipping the computer backup. If anyone knows anything on how to set it up, I would like your help
    Thanks!
    Ruta

    If you want to copy one external disk to another external disk, and you want an exact copy, then you might consider Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.  Either of which will make an exact duplicate of the disk.
    If you wish to have Time Machine include an external disk as part of your normal Time Machine backups, that means just including the external disk as part of your Time Machine backups.
    If you mean run a One-Off backup of the external drive to another external drive using Time Machine, I would go with CCC or SuperDuper.
    If you could give some more details about what you are trying to do, how often you want to do this, what kind of information is on the drive being backed up, how often the data is being changed and thus how often you want to do this disk to disk backup, whether you want to have the incremental backups offered by Time Machine, or if you just want a copy, and anything else you can think to tell us about your situation and the problem you are trying to solve.

  • Does the new iPad use Nanosys QDEF display technology?

    I was wondering whether the new iPad uses Nanosys QDEF display technology in its Retina Display?

    I don't usually have bad luck, though iPads seem to be the exception.  I had two iPad2 with screen flaws before I gave up and decided to hold out for the iPad 3.  My iPad 3 has the yellow on one side and uneven lighting.  I bought my wife one yesterday because she wanted on in spite of the problems I am having.  Hers is perfect, except for two dead pixels right in the middle of the screen.  But the screen is uniform with no yellow, and there's no overheating or anything like that.
    She is considering keeping it in spite of the dead pixels.  Stuff like that doesn't bother her, I guess.

  • Does the new iMac use the same memory as the previous?

    Right now i have the 24" 2.16ghz iMac and i am considering selling it to buy the newest 24" 2.4 ghz version. My question is, do they use the same ram? The apple specs page for the new imac says it uses 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) which is what i thought i had in my current iMac. For some reason though on crucial's website it says the new imac uses 800mhz ram, i would likely trust apples specs but i just wanted to confirm if it is the same so i know if i can keep a 1gb stick or not to put in the new one. Thanks!

    By using the manual method (Apple > iMac > 2.8 GHz) I only got PC2-5300 (667 MHz) RAM (although I do get PC2-6400 RAM for the 2.4 GHz model - but you probably won't benefit from the performance boost, just like my Mini has now 1 GB of 400 MHz DDR RAM running at 333 MHz). And yes, the new iMac uses the same RAM as the older one.
    I'd suggest you visit an Apple store and see the new iMac for yourself though. Your iMac still seems like a pretty good computer, and the 2.4 GHz processor and/or Radeon HD 2600 card may not warrant the upgrade price, especially if you don't like the glossy screen (which is reportedly much glossier than the MacBook's display).

  • Can I use a USB drive with the Airport extreme (not the new one) for Time Machine?

    I thought I heard that using USB drive for Time Machine over wifi will work with the new, tall Airport Extreme, but not with the previous model, which I have. Anybody know for sure?
    thanks.

    It is not recommended.. Apple says it doesn't work.. for some people it does for others it is unreliable.. do you really want unreliable backups.

  • How does iPhoto back up using time machine if the library is on and external drive

    I'm looking to store my iPhoto library on an external Lacie media drive so I have a central point for images. I intend to do the same with my iTines library although I understand there will be less availabitlity for the music.
    My question is.
    If the library is stored externally does that mean that Time Machine will not back these files up and will I have to have to have a 3rd party software to back the Lacie media drive up for safety?
    Regards Graeme

    Yes - unless you exclude it - check the TM preferenced to see what is being excluded
    and what format is the Lacie media drive? the iPhoto library MUST always be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

  • Transferring data from old imac to new imac using Time Machine.

  • Photo transfer and update from 5-year-old Macbook to new iMac using Time Machine resulted in half of 2014's photos being un-viewable (only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows).  How do I fix it?

    I turned on my new iMac for the first time today and set it up using a backup on Time Machine from my old Macbook, which is running OS X 10.9.5 and has iPhoto version 8.1.2.  When I went to open iPhoto on the new computer, it said I had to update the photos to work with the new version.  Now, my photos from part of July 26, 2014 and onwards do not show up in the new iPhoto.  The albums and spaces for the photos are there, but only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows in their place.  Every other photo from 2003 to half of July 26, 2014 appears to have updated without issue.  None of the fixes/rebuilds I tried worked.  When I open up TimeMachine, it has no backups that I can use for the new computer (perhaps, because I wanted to still have access to use my old backups for my old laptop so told it not to use them for the new computer).  My most recent half a year's photos are the ones I need the most.  How do I make them appear on my new iMac?

    Do you still have the old Mac? Then check, if the iPhoto Library has the newer events from July 26 onwards.
    If yes, copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the new mac by connecting both computers. And then try to upgrade the copied library.
    If you no longer have access to the old mac, you could try to inherit the backup of the old Mac and try to restore the iPhoto Library from it.
