Help for backups

Wanting to backup an important catalogue I followed the procedure BUT noticed that all picture names had been changed to some B0000numbers...
I desperately want to save the files under the names I had given in order to retrieve them easily !
Would be immensely grateful for some help !

The Photoshop Elements Organizer Backup command does not support a choice to write the backups of the photo files (or other media files) using the same file name.  It uses the B....  names as you observed.   If you later use the PSE Restore command, PSE will resture the files back with their actual/original file names.
Therefore, you will need to use some other backup software to backup your photo files if you want to use the same file name on the backup.
When using other backup software, it is import to separately back up the PSE Catalog file. I suggest that read the following information
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Backing_up_your
and specifically the info on "general purpose backup"

    Solved the problem by clicking the gray triangle next to "On My Mac" and drilled down!

  • Already have wireless network, need help for set up of time capsule for wired backup only.

    Hello all -
    I have a time capsule that plugs into wall and used a wireless network to back up computer.  It would always mess up internet afterwards so I would unplug the time capsule and reset internet until the next back up.  my time capsule now will not link into my computer. It just flashes amber.  Spoke with apple and was told to come on here and ask for help for setting up time capsule for a wired backup only and to mention that I have a wireless network.
    Hope any of this makes sense.
    Thank You!!

    Really?  The paid professionals at Apple told you to post on a forum where users.....just like you....are trying to answer questions?  We'll try to help, though.
    For starters, please tell us the make and model of the modem/router that you have now that is providing your wireless network.

  • I need help with setting up time machine for backup

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
    The backups are automatic.

  • I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD.  It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive.  I do not use this drive for backups.  Help.

    I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD.  It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive.  I do not use this drive for backups.  I use an external 1 TB WD My Book for backups as well as Super Duper Backups. Can anyone offer advice.   Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have got the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive. This is the folder used by Time Machine to save backups to, and the OS X Mavericks installer thought that your hard drive is being used to store Time Machine backups
    To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
    Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer from the Applications folder and follow the steps

  • I have a new macBook Pro 15 and need to purchase best, easiest usb for backup - help please

    I have a new MacBook Pro 15" and need to purchase the easiest, cost-effective USB for backup.  I have never done a backup and don't know what to buy.  Thanks much from an obvious novice.

    Look at these two links to OWC products.  Note that one is for enclosures only so an appropriate HDD would have to be added.  This at least should give you an idea of what is available.

  • General HELP for RAID and HOME NETWORK... I'm a bit lost :(

    First off, I'm sorry about the long post but I just wanted to ask everything at once since I don't know what effects what?
    Over the past years I've had a MBP and have always added Western Digital Mybook drives whenever I needed storage. One of clicked and died this past year and I lost some data since I was "MANUALLY" backing up. Since then I've tried to read about RAID, NAS, and DROBO type devices.
    I recently bought a Mac Pro 2008 edition because I needed more speed. I mainly edit wedding photos in Lightroom but also come from a heavy motion graphics background and do some After Effects projects from time to time.
    Here's a list of my current setup and what I'm hoping to achieve but I'm in over my head of what to do???
    1 Mac Pro (2008 edition) - I'm considering setting up 4 1TB harddrives inside that are mirrored. I was looking at the Caviar Black or Hitachi drives...
    2. I have two Airport Extreme Base Stations for my home network. (One is plugged into my Mac Pro and the other is near my Vizio LCD and Xbox 360. I've been toying around with sharing iPhoto slideshows (which I really like the idea of) The problem is that it seems really slow for video and hiccups on the stills sometimes. It doesn't seem to make a difference if it's pulling it from the Mac Pro or from a USB drive attached directly to my Airport Extreme. How do I speed this up? Is it always going to be faster to stream from the Mac Pro over ethernet cable than a harddrive plugged in through USB?
    3. A few RAID and NAS solutions I've been looking at are the following but I don't really understand what I get with an external device vs an internal? I also don't know which is BETTER? for easy reliable backup.

    4. I've been reading mixed reviews about the Drobo but don't quite understand if it's a better solution then setting up a mirror INSIDE my Mac Pro. I DO NOT want to buy a $900 raid card for the Mac Pro though. Do most people choose the Drobo because they only have laptops? Should I only consider building something inside my Mac Pro?
    5. I was considering Chonosync for backing up 3rd level backups
    6. I just bought a Blu-Ray drive for 4th level backups that I can send off site.
    7. I have all these other Mybooks. Two of them are mirrored but only one is a 1TBx2 Sata drive. The rest are IDE. I guess I'll just use these for misc things? Maybe just plug one into the Xbox for watching movies?
    8. My neighbor down the hall has a similar setup and is using a Mac Mini to stream things (through Front Row) like Hulu and videos another room to his TV. Mine doesn't seem to stream fast enough. Since I have the MBP that I will use rarely since I got my desktop I was considering using that instead of Apple TV or a Mac Mini but it's too slow? Maybe I set it up wrong?
    PLEASE HELP? I don't know what I'm doing.

    Hi,
    For backup, video work, photography and expanding the Mac Pro storage capability the FirmTek SeriTek/5PM would be my choice. The bundle that you pointed to will work if 130MB/sec. is fastest enogh for your needs. The card is only $70 in the bundle which makes it a nice deal.
    http://firmtek.stores.yahoo.net/sata5pm2se2.html
    If you want 200MB/sec, performance I would go with the Sonnet Tempo E4P or the HighPoint RR 2314 if you desire RAID 5 redundancy.
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/mac-pro/
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/highpoint/2314/
    Trying to use NAS via the network will be 3-7x slower than the SeriTek/5PM. The SeriTek/5PM is a much better choice for backup, video and photography. NAS is good for low energy, always on, low use server needs. However, you can simply turn Mac OS X file sharing on and the Mac Pro will provide performance faster than any NAS.
    Drobo - Why do people even consider this option?
    The performance is USB speed even with a FW800 connection.
    Users have reported losing data with firmware updates.
    And the unit is one of the most expensive, slow performing options available. I cannot image ever wanting a Drobo
    Backup Software:
    I like SuperDuper. I also like using the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility to clone one disk to another. The key to good backup is to keep it simple and regular.
    MyBook - NOT
    If your storage needs exceed more than a single FireWire backup disk you really need to go with eSATA. The SeriTek/5PM and the Mac Pro combination provides virtually unlimited storage capabilities as the tray system allows new hard disk sets to be easily loaded or dismounted.
    Have fun!

  • I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.  I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?

    I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. 
    I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?
    When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups.  It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
    Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
    So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure. 
    Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up.  Instead, it took 30 minutes.  That can't be right.  I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that.  Please help.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the 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 (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

    Error: 1013231 Unable to update database while in readonly mode for backup , how can i solve this problem ,plz can any one help on this

    Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
    Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
    alter database app.db end archive;
    Cheers

  • I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

    I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives.  I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC.  Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files.  An help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.  If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC.  I do not share the drive with a PC.  The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use.  I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC.  I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them.  The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC.  I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

  • I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

    I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, the problem comes back.
    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Time Capsule "looking for backup disk" problems, running Lion on 24" iMac

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with my Time Capsule.  I can't get the backups to run for about a week.  The backup just says "looking for backup disk" for ever.  This is a first gen Time Capsule, and it's still working fine for two MacBooks in the house.  I have all the Apple updates installed, and I'm running 10.7.2.  In Preferences, Time Capsule, I can see the available/of space and there is plenty left.  It's not showing any Oldest and Latest date info for backups.
    If I go to "select disk" and choose the Time Capsule, I'm prompted for the password.  When I press "Connect", the message changes to "Stopping Backup" and this will run for ever.  I have plenty of disk space available, have repaired permissions, have booted in safe mode, reset pram and nvram and probably a few other options to no avail.  I can enter the Time Machine and see all of my backups without problem.
    As a side note, I have also noticed instability whereby various programs have been 'not responding' of late, and need to be force quit.  Once that happens, the iMac won't properly shut down and restart; I usually need to how down the power button.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'm having the same problem.  Anyone have a fix?
