Files that are backed up?

My Palm Tungsten E died but I do have it on my computer and use it frequently. I want to back up all my files to a flash drive so that I have them. Can anyone tell me which files I should be backing up. Please help! thanks

The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
Another option is to copy the username folder to the flash drive. Look in the following locations for the username folder. The username folder will be the last name first initial of the palm desktop username. If the name is john smith then the username folder will be smithj.
C:\Users\(Windows username)\Documents\Palm OS Desktop\(Palm username)
(Palm Desktop 6.2)
C:\Program Files\Palm\(Palm username)
(Palm Desktop 4.2 and earlier)
C:\Program Files\Handspring\(Palm username)
(Palm Desktop 4.2 and earlier)

.The files are not backed up alphabetically. We would like to know what are the db files that are already backed up? Is there a command i could run from another RMAN to get the already backed up files.

I think you can query your catalog for this information.
Or use
LIST BACKUP; (in RMAN)
Or
alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss';
select SID, START_TIME,TOTALWORK, sofar, (sofar/totalwork) * 100 done,
sysdate + TIME_REMAINING/3600/24 end_at
from v$session_longops
where totalwork > sofar
AND opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND opname like 'RMAN%';
Or
-- Datafiles Backed up during past 24 Hours
SELECT dbfiles||' from '||numfiles "Datafiles backed up",
cfiles "Control Files backed up", spfiles "SPFiles backed up"
FROM (select count(*) numfiles from sys.v_$datafile),
(select count(*) dbfiles
from sys.v_$backup_datafile a, sys.v_$datafile b
where a.file# = b.file#
and a.completion_time > sysdate - 1),
(select count(*) cfiles from sys.v_$backup_datafile
where file# = 0 and completion_time > sysdate - 1),
(select count(*) spfiles from sys.v_$backup_spfile
where completion_time > sysdate - 1)

BAD IDEA
You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings, and although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings which appear to be correct. Although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

When bouncing, do you use the Key Command or the button on the Output Channel Strip? The Key Command only bounces from the Stereo Output. The bounce button bounces from the Channel Strip it is on. So if you want to bounce out outputs 3-4 or higher, don't use the key command, but the button.
The strange thing here is that Logic, when it bounces an MP3, first bounces an AIFF, which at the end of the bounce process is being converted to MP3, so I can't imagine how you can get a silent AIFF and a normal MP3.
How have you listened to those bounces? iTunes? Quicklook? Quicktime?

Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

Ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by an

My fifth gen/30 ipod is a mess since I installed itunes 7.I can't update or eject the little guy .The message reads"cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application"or "cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application" Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks!
dell Windows XP 30 gb video

I had the same problem. I had to uninstall 7.0 and install 6.0 and was able to restore OK. I'm back using 6.0, but just got a second generation ipod nano, so I have to go to 7.0 or greater. My only words of wisdom are DO NOT SET ANY LOCKS until you are really sure you want to. Also with 7.0 I could not eject my ipod unless I went to the "safe to eject ipod" command. Apple has some problems to work out and I hope soon. Clumsy as best...............

How do I erase the "other" files that are occupying my computer

I already deleted pics, music, etc and I am ready to continue to delete unnecessary files. How should I erase the "other" files that are in my computer. Please, advice. Thanks

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my library and add them ?

Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my i tune library and add them to y existing library ?
I recenty had a damaged i tune library and had to import an old version.
This last one does not have many of the CD I have copied the past months. And I don't know which ones these are either as they are too many of them.

This will list files that are in the iTunes DB but the files are not in the media folder…

I think it may misbehave with ringtones & some of the obscure media files, but they are both really powerful for repairing mangled libraries.
I would create a new smart playlist for 'Tracks added since (todays date)' so you can easily find any tracks that you add back to iTunes.

Can't see files that are backedup

I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
Then +Enter Time Machine.+
On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

Is it possible to save files that are not on my macbook

is it possible save files not on my macbook

Where are the files going to be that you want to save.
Time Machine, if that is what you are talking about, can only save files that are locally stored on disks that are HFS+ format. TM is specifically designed to use the Mac format.. it cannot work on network drives. It cannot work on other format drives.
If you are not specific to Time Machine.. your computer can save files on the TC.. that are stored anywhere just by copy and paste.. but the TC is not really a good storage . .It is unable to back up itself and TM as noted already cannot back it up.

How do I restore files that were backed up by Adobe?

How do I restore Files that were backed up by Adobe?

Where is the back-up e.g. on removable storage such as CD, DVD or external hard drive?
If the files are on Photoshop.com, then Elements can sync them back down, by following these steps:
Launch the Elements program.
Login to your photoshop.com account
Open Organizer
On the menu click Edit à Preferences à Backup/Synchronization
You should see all of your albums and media files on your photoshop.com account.
Mark those checkboxes that you want to restore to your computer.
Click OK.
N.B. Elements can only sync files back down to your hard drive which reside in albums on Photoshop.com

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

No Video with files that are made with Blackmagic 10bit

ok we have an employee that has Quicktime Pro (with recent updates) he needs to check some video files but sometimes it will not open and when it does no video will be show.
other different types of files open like apple prores and also files that have not been encoded.
is there an missing codec that he needs?
he is using windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for getting back to me, Andy. I followed your suggestion, but, with respect to the clips already incorporated in the cut, I got still got the same message, "No items have files that are applicable to this operation." BTW all of the clips used in the cut and not used have red diagonal lines through them indicating they are not connected to the media, which, as I wrote before, was corrupted irrevokably when my previous ext HD crashed. These media files were moved to new ext HD.
Any other suggestions?

Tidal check for files that are in a certain format

Hello,
I am new to Tidal and I have been able to get a simple job to work that simply logs into our client's SFTP server, gets all files and brings them back to our system. Since SFTP is smart enough to know if we have a duplicate file, using wildcards has proved as an easy way to get this job started.
However, we certainly would rather have this job running a lot tighter and error proof for the future. So I figured I would come here to ask a few questions and see if anyone could provide me with some assistance on getting this script running a lot better.
Basically, we need to check this client's site every four hours for a file that they will be uploading daily. They don't put it on the site at the same time everyday, so that makes things a tad bit more difficult, but certainly not a big deal. The format of the file is always going to be the same and this is where I wanted some assistance.
The file will always be in the format of yyyymmdd_this_is_same_every_time.gz
So I basically just need a way to define a varaible in Tidal for this file that will take into consideration the date stamp of the file. Grab that certain file and then move it to an archive directory. We then plan on deleting files that are over a week old in the archive, but I feel like that is the easier task here.
Again, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

If you go to the variable definition item, you can define a variable of date and check the "calculated" box. This allows you to apply various offsets such as +1, -1, previous working day and so on. Judicious combination of these offsets can give you all sorts of capabilities like "previous working day unless its the 29th February and unless its the year 2025 but it is my birthday".
"Working day -1 except if its Monday so last working day was Friday" is a common one for people to use.
Just remember you are now looking in the variables definitions menu ie outside the job definition as discussed above.
Cheers
