    With TimeMachine, yes.
    With a bootable clone, no. Provided you don't save the backup states changes which CCC is doing now.
    I prefer a straight clone backup, I keep many copies of clones on seperate hardware to "go back in time" with and thus avoid saving the changes with my clones.
    I swear I tried to back up my computer on a 250g G-Drive and it told me there was not enough room. But I am not positive if the entire drive was available or not. I may have had it sectioned into 150 & 100 sections and I might have tried to back it up on the 150 section. or I might be imagining that.... either way, it didn't work.
    Your data is going to grow, 232GB is rather small for a boot drive.
    So your going to be needing storage drives eventually, just plan ahead and remmeber hardware redundancy is key.

  • How do I sync my iPhone calendar entries back into my MacBook Pro Calendar?

    I can't get appointments scheduled via Siri to update or sync bact to my MacBook Pro.  I have iCloud, and I have iTunes synced, but the appointments scheduled in iPhone's Calendar do not appear in the MacBook Calendar.

    If you are syncing your calendar with iCloud on both your phone and your MBP, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.  Then try adding a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if it syncs to your MBP now.

  • Backed Up from macbook pro to external hard drive for use on PC--how to restore to macbook pro?

    Good evening,
      My college student daughter uses her macbook pro, 13" Mid-2010,  for ALL her school work.  A few days ago it stopped working for her.  Blank screen.  Turned it off and on, blank screen with the gear spinning.  She took it to a place named MacExperience in Indy for diagnositcs.  The tech got it working and said it was OK now ($90 later).  Two hours later, same thing occurred.  She returned to the tech and he indicated it is in fact the logistics board that needs repair/replacement. 
    She purchased an external hard drive (G-Drive 500 GB mini FW800/USB 2/FW400 7200 RPM)--that is the description from the receipt she scanned and sent to me.   The tech backed up her files from the MBP to the  External HD so that the files are usable on a PC until the MBP is repaired.
    Will her files be intact on the MBP once it is repaired?  More importantly, since the back-up was made from the MBP to use on a PC, how do we restore the files from the external HD back to the MBP so that she can use MBP with all her files, school work, etc.?
    The tech said he will do it, but of course for another $90.  My point is, she needs to know how to do this in the event something like this occurs again (I sure hope not!!).  Furthermore, she will from now on back-up her files to the external HD, which she needs to learn to do, as well.
    Thank you for your helpful replies.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the format has something to do with it - note the sizes here (from the Help in Disk Utility on how to format a drive for Windows):

  • Help Help..Can not back up my Macbook Pro with Time Machine

    I have Mac Book Pro Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and Time capsule 802.11n (3rd generation), I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop, it did not work. so i did reset on Time Capsule/Machine and didnt work. Show error 1) Time Machine could not comple Back Up (The back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"could not be created (error 1) and then different time i tried got different error 2) Time Machine Could Not Complete (the back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"couldnot be created (error 60)..please advise

    The TC drive is network and will never show up in disk utility.
    You can mount the sparse bundle into the utility and do a check on it.. but that serves little purpose.
    I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop,
    It is highly likely the setup is wrong.
    Please do a full factory reset of the TC.
    The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Redo the setup using the airport utility. For older OS and TC you can do this by ethernet with wireless turned off if you like.
    Tell us the main modem router and how the TC was originally setup.. if it was in bridge mode.. then put the TC back in bridge and plug it into the router.
    If there are issues they will show up in the airport utility. Please list any issues it has.

  • HT2844 When I plug my LED cinema display into my macbook Pro, the video switches automatically but the audio still plays via the macbook speakers by default. Is there any way to make the audio default to the display audio when plugged in?

    Hi,
    Pretty much as the tital says really. I'm fed up of having to manually select my audio output every time I plug my macbook pro into me LED display. Can I make it default the audio to the display when plugged in?

    yeah- I think so, AlexGrady.  see if your machine supports hdmi audio out, it should say under "about this mac"
    then  buy the correct adapter to your LED display.  I think you also have to enable audio out via HDMI, and the adapter has to support HDMI audio passthrough
    sorry, that's all I have for now

    oh, and this forum is for Mac Pro's (just sayin')

  • HT3275 How do I back up my MacBook Pro to Time machine (capsule)?

    I have time capsule installed as the wireless server and it is backing up the iMac desktop.  I was told I could back up all the computers,  When I select disk on the macbook, it doesn't list the time machine drive.  Do I need to connect the laptop directly in order to back it up?

    If the MBP is already connecting to the network via the TC it is just being difficult. (It is incredibly difficult at the moment as apple have some built in bugs in Lion and ML).
    Use finder and go, go to server. Type in the actual TC name. Thusly..
    AFP://TCname
    If the MBP still cannot find the TC.. reboot it.. it should then work.. it is like olden day electronics .. sometimes you need to give it a swift kick to get it going.
    (Please do not actually physically kick anything.. I was being metaphorical!!)

  • Why do my folders on my desktop when i log off then log back in move position all the time?

    When i log off or turn off my laptop and then log back in my folders or files are in different positions then where i had placed them on my desktop previously

    I mentioned in my earlier post.
    And if that doesn't work try using the Desktop Icon Manager (DIM) which has been around since OS9 days to get those pesky desktop icons to behave.
    You arrange your desktop icons the way you want them.  Tell DIM to "memorize" that arrangement.  Make DIM a login item so that when you log in it will move the icons to the memorized positions at login. 
    You can change the arrangment at any time and tell DIM to memorize a new arrangment.

  • On my MacBook Pro, the time is correct up in the right hand corner on the blue line, but when I post something, it is two hours off. How can I correct it?

    How can I sync the correct time on my macbook pro (which is correct) so that when I post something it will be the same time. It is exactly 2 hours earlier in my post.
    Thanks for any help.

    Is the timezone correctly set up on the Mac?
    Cause the time may be right, but if the Mac announces being in an incorrect timezone, the server at the other end may be adjusting to what it thinks is the "right" time.

  • Setting up an external hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro?

    I am currently using a 320GB Western Digital external hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro using Time Machine, soon however I am going to be putting Windows 7 onto my machine so I am trying to figure out how I am going to back up the Mac OS X and the Windows partition at the same time using this hard drive. I am thinking about completetly erasing the drive and putting 2 partitions on it in 2 different formats (one for Mac OS X and one for Windows). I am also thinking of using Carbon Copy Cloner instead of Time Machine because it creates bootable backups. However, now that I am thinking about using Carbon Copy Cloner I am wondering if FAT32 will work for both partitions? (I have been using Mac OS X extended (journaled) only because it works with Time machine). I need help though because I would not know how to go about completely erasing/resetting the drive etc.. then partitioning it and formatting it. I am also wondering if there is a windows equivalent of CCC or Super Duper to back up the Windows partition. Thanks for your help in advance.

    I'm inferring from the way you wrote about using Windows that you plan on using it through Boot Camp.  Have you considered using VMware Fusion (or Parallels) instead?  Then Time Machine would back up the virtual machine along with everything else.  You also have the advantage that you can use both Mac OS and Windows at the same time - you don't have to choose one or the other.  There are two disadvantages.  First, since both Mac OS and Windows are running simultaneously, you need more memory.  I'd recommend no less than 8 GB if you run any serious software on either OS.  You can get away with 4 GB, but at times the system will be really slow.  Second, the virtual machine images are BIG - mine typically run over 20 GB - so you'll probably want a bigger backup drive if you go this way.

  • Plug into charger red light stays on for about 5-10 seconds

    Just bought a used 8700 bb and when I plug it in the redlight comes on for about 5-10 seconds and then turns off.
    What does that mean? 
    Also when I try to turn on nothing happens, the only action is when I plug it into the charger and that red light comes on for a brief moment.

  • HT4889 I just transferred data using migration assistant from a macbook prop to a macbook. I am trying to log back into the user that was on the pro but is now on the macbook with the same password as before, and it says my password is incorrect.

    I just transferred data using migration assistant from a macbook pro to a macbook. I am trying to log back into the user that was on the pro but is now on the macbook with the same password as before, and it says my password is incorrect?

    Suggest you try the password for the Macbook, not the previous one.

  • I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on
