Does TM backup files stored in Windows 7 running inside VMWare Fusion?

I have installed VMWare Fusion with Windows 7 running inside it. There are a number of files saved and application installed there. Are these being backed up on the Time Capsule during the regular backups or do I need to back up Windows apps and files separately?

If the virtual machine is on a drive that Time Machine backs up, it'll be backed up. Quit the emulator before Time Machine runs to ensure the backup is valid; click here for more information.

Where does my backup files reside in windows

I backed up my ipad (using iTunes) to my laptop (running Windows 7). Where can I find the backup files? Also, the ipad that I backed is no longer mine. My wife has an iPad Air 2. We want to get the content (especially the pics and videos) of the backup onto her iPad. Can we do this, even if the backup is from Tom's iPad, and my wifes ipad is Mary's iPad?

You do not have the ability to pick and choose certain aspects of the backup file to restore to another device. A restore is either all or none. You can purchase 3rd party software to open a backup file and try to remove some parts of it. The backup files is a special SQLite file that needs special software to read. It is really intended just to use to restore an iOS device if necessary. However, this support document will tell you where your backup file is located on the computer. Many of these are hidden files, so make sure you have the ability to view hidden files switched on. If you can't back up or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes - Apple Support

When installing Firefox 35 into Windows 7 running inside VMware Fusion on a Mac, into which folder should I put the downloaded Firefox installer file?

Inside Windows I see a folder called PROGRAM FILES and another one called PROGRAM FILES (X86). Is either of these the correct one to put the Firefox installer program into before I launch the installer? There is also a folder called WINDOWS. Sorry for such an elementary question but I've never been a Windows user; just Macs so far until now. My intention is to download the Windows version of Firefox using a browser on the Mac side of the computer since I have working browsers there. Then I would copy the ".exe" file to whichever Windows folder is correct. Am I on the right track or am I courting disaster?
Also, will there be a preference inside Firefox to make it the default browser in the Windows environment? I'd like to avoid using Internet Explorer.
( I'm writing this from the Firefox browser, v. 28.0 in the Mac OS (10.6.8). I didn't click the "Automatically Add" button for submitting troubleshooting information because I'm not asking about the browser in the Mac OS environment.)
Thank you.

The full Windows install file from for instance https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ is an executable dot.exe file.
It will run from anywhere the user has the correct permissions, incluing the desktop or the downloads folder. It will offer standard or custom installs, usually opt for the standard install and the necessary flies and folders will be created.

Will Adobe CS6 Design Std Windows run on VMware Fusion 6 on latest Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion OS

Just got a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion OS. I have CS6 Design Std for Windows and would like to install it on my Mac. Has anyone successfully run CS6 on VMware Fusion 6 with this Mac?
Or Parallels Desktop 9?
Thanks.

I am also having this issue. I have a Macbook Pro 13" and 15" and both have issues printing to my works Bizhub C360. It keeps saying "the printer does not support IPP/2.0, trying IPP 1.1" I have uninstalled and reinstalled this printer, installed the printer with an ip address, and even added the printer as a generic postscript printer to no avil. I have OS X version 10.8.4 with the appropriate printer driver. It will ocassionally print but only 1 out of every 5 times. Anyone have any other ideas?

Windows Authentication login cannot access backup files stored in Users\[User] folder.

I am currently logged in to my database engine using SSMS and Windows Authentication; specifically, I am logged in with Joe-PC\Joe, where Joe-PC is the domain name of the machine hosting the database, and Joe is the user that created the database.
If it matters, I am running all of this locally from Joe-PC.
I have a .bak backup file stored in my C:\Users\Joe\Desktop folder that I am trying to restore. However, I get an error saying 'Either the location does not exist, or the current login account does not have access to it.' I am certain the location
exists, as I am looking at it right now, and I can't see why Joe-PC\Joe wouldn't have access to it's own user folder.
I am absolutely baffled as to why this is behaving this way. I am fully aware that I can work around the issue, but I'd like to know why this isn't working as it seems like it should. Does the Windows Authentication that SQL Server uses not have
the permissions that the account would normally have? Is the Windows Authentication user even the same thing as the user that logs into Windows? What else could be going on that I don't understand?

Thanks for your answer. My user account is one of two administrator accounts on this computer (the other is only set up for consistency sake, and has probably only been logged into a total of 5 times; all of our computers have the account though, so
I thought I should put it on here as well). The issue isn't that my account doesn't have restore permissions, just that SSMS can't access the user folder when logged in using Windows Authentication. Another issue that I assume is related results
in a lack of permissions on backup files until I manually set permissions to 'Everyone' under the backup file's properties\security tab. Also, not sure if it matters, the backup is taken from a customer's computer running Win 7 Pro x86 while my computer
is on Win 7 Ultimate x64.
Not sure if this helps pinpoint the issue, but my current workaround is as follows:
Copy the .bak file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.WSA\MSSQL\Backup (default backup folder)
Right-click the .bak file and go to the properties toolbox. Select the Security Tab, give full permission to 'Everyone'.
In SSMS, select 'Restore Database' after right-clicking on 'Databases' in left-hand tree.
Give the DB a name, restore from device, select my file.
This method hasn't failed me yet, but any deviation (other than setting permissions before or after moving) causes me to get access errors when I try to restore. Fortunately, this isn't a production database engine, just a testing environment, but
I'd like to get an idea of what's going on, because I know it's only a matter of time before I or a customer runs into this issue.

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up? Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN. I have VPN set up and can access the Calendar and Contacts via a web browser, however I want to be able to access data files store on the hard drive and shared external drives connected to it. The MacPro runs OSX Server Lion. Any Ideas if this is even possible or how to do it!

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Maybe there is another solution - here is my situation:
I have internet and cable service through Telus. Telus' system consists of a modem/set-top-box that provides internet (ethernet and wifi) and TV signal (corded) for one TV and another set top box that provides internet (ethernet only) and TV signal (corded) for my other TV in the basement.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to the modem upstairs which I am using as my home network wifi. I also have an external hard drive (USB) connected to it on which my iTunes library is shared with all Apple machines in my home network.
My upstairs ATV, connected to my APE, works fine and streams internet (Netflix), iTunes Store and my shared iTunes drive just fine - the APE is 3 feet away with a great signal.
My downstairs ATV, also connected to my APE via wifi, does not stream so well, particularly the media from the shared drive. I suspect that this is the case because of signal degredation.
Any suggestions on how to reconstruct my home network to enable my downstairs ATV to work properly?

If you are asking about where iTunes stores backup files, see this knowledge base article for the info.
If a general statement of backups, then then you have to look at each application to see where it saves according to its preferences window.

Can TM Backup Files Located on G4 Running OS 10.4.11?

Purchased MyBook and utilized the WD Backup software in order to backup files located on G4 running 10.4.11. Since then, have purchased a G5 iMac running 10.6.5.
Before I reformat the MyBook in order to utilize TM to automatically backup the iMac, I'd like to ensure that I can also backup the G4 files using TM via File Sharing w/ethernet connection between the two computers.
If TM can't do this automatically, I am prepared to copy the files from the G4 "manually" over to the WD MyBook once it is reformated. Since I am using the G5 almost 100% of the time, I am mostly concerned about creating a single backup of the entire G4 (which is already on the WD MyBook but will be lost if I reformat).
What would be the best way to do that (creae a complete backup of the G4) if TM cannot be utilized?
Thanks.

A G5 iMac can't run OS X 10.6.5. Either it's an Intel iMac or it's running (at most) OS X 10.5.x. From your system details, it seems to be running OS X 10.5.6, in which case your message should have been posted in the Leopard area instead of the Snow Leopard area.

You could divide that WD disk into two partitions. Use one with Time Machine to back up the iMac. When you want to back up the G4, turn off Time Machine, dismount the WD disk, then use SuperDuper! (http://www.shirt-pocket.com/) or Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to make a "clone" backup of the G4. After the backup is complete, dismount the WD disk, mount it on the G5, then turn Time Machine back on.

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14

It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup.

Windows 8.1 (running in VMware Fusion 6) keeps resetting my default program associations after rebooting

I tried to set Google Chrome as my default browser in Windows 8.1 (virtual machine running in VMware Fusion 6) but somehow mysteriously failed over and over again.
According to Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, there are 19 possible associations for Google Chrome:
Extensions: .htm, .html, .shtml, .webp, .xht, .xhtml;
Protocols: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IRC, MAILTO, MMS, NEWS, NNTP, SMS, SMS, SMSTO, TEL, URN, WEBCAL
I have no problem selecting some of them, or "set this program as default" so that "this program has all its defaults." (I am the only admin user, but not the builtin admin account.)
However, after restarting the VM, the program associations for Google Chrome will reset on its own. Specifically,
"this program has all its defaults" becomes "this program has 14 out of 19 defaults", losing the following five crucial protocols:
FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MAILTO, NEWS
And these protocols simply hang there unassociated—they don't belong to IE either.
So I am extremely confused; how could the system reset my default program associations? What's wrong?
In case it is relevant, I will also post my VMware Fusion VM Default Applications settings here. All of the options are unchecked: "Open your Mac files and links using Windows applications"; "Open your Windows files and links using Mac applications";
"Run Windows applications from your Mac's Applications folder."
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I have the same issue, and I've posted on the vmware forums with no responses other than another person having the same issue.
Have you been able to fix this? I tried importing the same VM into Parallels and the problem goes away. If I do a manual uninstall of Fusion (and remove VMWare tools from the VM), and then reinstall both, the problem goes away - temporarily. I had a few
good months, and it started again. Followed the procedure mentioned, and it went away again, but only survived a few reboots.
FYI, it's definitely not an issue with Chrome, as I'm having the same issue with Firefox (although I can duplicate on chrome as well).
Have you figured anything out?
Thanks!

Shut down issue on 27" iMac running Windows XP using VMWare Fusion 3

I'm running Windows XP on a 27" iMac using VMWare Fusion 3. When I try to shut down the Mac system without using Windows, a dark (not black) screen covers the screen from top to bottom and presents me with a screen, stating in multiple languages that I must press the power button for 5 seconds and then restart the Mac. Then the iMac will close normally.
However, if I run both the Mac system and Windows, and then close Windows, VMFWare Fusion 3, followed by the Mac system, the iMac shouts down normally.
What's going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

I run XP under Fusion 3 and have not seen this issue. What you are getting is a Kernel Panic. There should be more information in your console logs about the reason.
Here is some info on KPs to help you.

Where is the iPhone backup file stored which is produced during synching?

Background: I had a HD crash and replacement: this created problems with the iPhone apps in iTunes (i.e. they "disappeared" from the Applications tab in iTunes.
Question: why can't I restore the iPhone to the last backup that is automatically made when you sync? Does anyone know where that backup file is located and how to invoke it?
Thanks and cheers,
Veit

Allan, I am puzzled and hope that you can help and clarify:
I did try the "Restore the iPhone to its Factory Settings" approach and did transfer the iTunes folder (from before the crash) through Time Machine to the new HD. When I connect the iPhone to the computer and start iTunes there, I am informed that an iphone has previously synced with this computer and am asked whether I want to set up a new iPhone or "Restore from the backup of iPhone". BUT, the Last Synched info states that the last sync was TODAY, and NOT as of before the crash (when the Apps and their Settings were OK, i.e. to what I would like to restore). Frustration galore.
This begs the question: 1.) where on the computer is the last backup stored, and can that be replaced by using an earlier version found on the Time Machine? But then I think I understand you saying that the backup process of the iPhone does NOT contain the Settings and Data related with each third party application, only the app itself; or did I misunderstand you.
Hence question 2.) Where are the data and settings of the apps stored: in the Backup that's created when syncing (and apparently only a single, i.e. the last backup is kept, and that in my case is useless), or in the Mobile Applications folder under iTunes, which can be restored.
And finally 3.) you state: cancel the backup when you connect the iphone to the computer running iTunes. When I click on the x next to where it says that the iPhone is being backed up, it cancels the whole sync process, not only the backup process.
Sorry to bother you so much, but I'd really hate to loose all the data and settings of the ninety or so Apps which I am using. Again, many thanks in advance for any clarifications.
Cheers,
Veit
