Help with backing up January update

I have to send my computer back to Gatweway for the 3rd time. Let's just say I'm about ready to take a bat to this thing!
Anyway, they will be deleting everything on my computer and I've already backed up all my music/photos and videos on my portable hard drive. I'm not sure how or where to find the January update. I'm afraid I'll be losing it when I fix itunes up again. Can anyone walk me through where it's at. Or will I need to
contact Apple once I get my itunes back up and running.
Thanks for any help.
If anyone wants to email what to do that would be great too! <edited out by hosts for you privacy>

Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settingsuser name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Usersuser name\AppData\Roaming
Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Hope this helps!

Please help with backing up and updating on Lacie external HD

hello,
This is my first time to use an external HD. I am mainly using it to back up photos, music, bookmarks, fonts, address book and movies. Once I get everything on the external hd, how does one go about updating periodically? Do I have to manually update every category? There isn't a way that you can tell the computer to update the files is there? I have heard from some people that you can schedule updates. The Lacie website or user guide has no info on updating!
Sorry to be asking such dumb questions, but I really don't understand how the update process works. Thanks!

Cathy:
Nice going. Backing up is the best thing you can do for your data. I suggest that you make a bootable clone of your entire HDD rather than backing up individual files. In that way you will have a current backup, as well as an emergency boot drive and you can boot from the external drive and run diagnosics and repairs on your internal HDD.
First you need to format your HDD. It it is larger than you internal HDD, I suggest that you partition it so that the first partition is approximately the size of your internal HDD, and the other partition you can use for whatever. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent tips on backup. He uses Retrospect, which I have found difficult to use. As suggested by the previous poster, SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are the cloning utilities of choice. There are differences, but the main difference which impacts you immediately is that to be able to make regular updates of your clone you will need to register SuperDuper ($28), while Carbon Copy Cloner is donation ware.
Here are step by step directions for formatting and partitioning your extnernal HDD:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing an External HDD
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Turn on external HDD
• Start up computer and log in
• Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel.
• Select number of partitions in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
For more partitions than one, after you have selected the number of partitions adjust the size of the partition by selecting the top partition and typing in the size; then move down if more adjustments need to be made.
(See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD)
• Type in name in Name field (HD Backup, or whatever you want to call it)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Repeat above procedure to erase each partition
• Quit Disk Utility.
Once you have formatted your HDD, now you are ready to clone your internal HDD to it.
Creating a Clone using Carbon Copy Cloner
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Download and launch Carbon Copy Cloner
• Select a Source. This will normally be the Disk which you want to backup
• If you wish to backup/clone only your Users Folder or other folder click on the checkbox. If you want to copy the entire HDD, check Macintosh HD.
• Select a Target. This will normally be your external HDD, (or, if you so decide, you can backup/clone to a Disk Image on the external HDD.)
• Cloning Options: for the first time you should backup everything. For updating your backup you should select Incremental backup of selected items.
• If you want your clone to be an exact copy of the original you should check the box to Delete items not on the original.
• Click Clone
Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
• Format external HDD (see directions above)
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Download and launch SuperDuper
• In the Copy field select your internal HDD
• To is your newly formatted external HDD
• Using backup all files
• Click Options button
• Check Repair Disk Permissions on Source
• During copy Erase Destination HDD then copy from Source
• On successful completion Quit SuperDuper
Please do post back with further questions/comments.

Help with C6-00 photo update

I need help with updating the items in the photo gallery. Anytime I transfer pictures from PC to the phone using either a USB connection or bluetooth, the items just stay in the memory card. What I mean is that they can only be acessed through file manager and not possible to veiw them using the Photo application. It is as if the Photo application does not automatically update itself. I have tried moving the items from one folder to another, even using the images folder itself. Please, can you tell me what to do about it?
Usually, the same thing happens with Videos too.
Thanks in advance.

The apps wont recognise the photos or videos if file extension is missing.Go to file manager and locate your file.Check whether it contains file extension.If not rename the file with . Jpg extension.If you dont know the type of file, select options >details(it should be something like that) to know it.After renaming all your files in file manager close file manager and open yout photo app.It should show all your photos.Same goes for videos which you will need to rename to .mp4 or .3gp as the case may be.

Please help with backing up library

OK, this has maybe been addressed before but I'm new here and haven't really found an answer on the forums... My work is saved as monthly projects and I want to export them to an external HD with metadata and adjustments etc but retain a referenced version in my library on my mac. Make sense? If I need to get anything back I can do a quick search and plug in the HD - yes? Trouble is if I export the project as-is I can't reimport referenced files... This is maybe my poor working practice and I'd really appreciate some help with it. I've previously just exported versions then burned DVD's but I'd really like to keep a record of pics on the mac if poss. HELP PLEASE!

Thanks so much for your help with this! It sounds exactly like what I want to achieve. I'm wondering now if I can export my entire library and bring it back in as referenced instead of managed - hopefully someone can advise? Thanks, Craig
You don't need to export you can do it from within Aperture, see *File->Relocate Master*.
Again check out the user manual Apple did a real good job with this one.
And PLEASE, PLEASE, make a complete backup of your Aperture library before trying any of this we are not responsible for lost, missing or mutilated photos

Help with backing up files and opening from disk image.

I am trying to back up my hard drive so that I can send my PowerBook in for repair. I used disk utility from my Panther install discs to create a disk image of my HD.
The disk image was created successfully and mounts perfectly on my HD. I can open it and open all of my files from the disk image just fine when it is mounted on my PowerBook.
However, when I take it to a different Mac, things start getting sketchy. I can open Word files just fine, but Excel files claim they are read-only and cannot open. I checked the permission back on my PowerBook to see what was up, and the files were read/write for the owner and read-only for groups and others, but they should still open as read-only files right? I even checked the permissions on the Word files to see if there was a difference, but there was no difference.
I can take the external HD back to my PowerBook, remount it, and open everything fine, but then on the other Mac it is a no go.
I need to back this up for when it is out on repair, but I need to know that the files will open in case I need to restore my disk.
Can anyone help??
BTW, I couldn't find the best forum to post this in, if there is a better one please direct me there...

solution:
I went into the Apple Store nearby today to send my PowerBook off for repair for a screen issue, and in the process got help with my backing up issue.
It seems all one needs to do is copy the file from the external hard drive to the internal drive.
It was that simple.

Help with back up to disc

I've purchaced some songs and I would like to back them up. I've never had a problem with before until now.

Can anyone help with this? I sure would hate to lose my songs.

Help with FCPX and Compressor updates

So compressor automatically updated from 4.0 to 4.1 and is now not working and im also having issues with the 10.0 to 10.1 FCPX update. Please check out the link to my other post below for more details.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24968191#2496819.

OK found projects, didnt realize they got moved to the events library from down by the timeline. Still waiting to see if Compressor 4.1 works with FCPX 10.1 update. Looks promising though. My computer automatically updated Compressor to 4.1 without me knowing (obviously when I opened it I noticed) but when it was failing I was still trying to compress with FCP 10.0 and Compressor 4.1 so maybe that was the issue.

Help with Acer Aspire 4339 update. PLEASE HELP.

Okay, I'm already sick and tired of Acer. Since my warrenty is expired, I had to deal with terrible scam site called answersby.com that Acer RECOMMENDED. I cannot believe that they would actually share this TERRIBLE website to their customers. First of all, the live chat service only directed me to the same technician that would'nt reply to ANYTHING that I said. Not only that, the website itself is buggy and whenever when you try to send feedback, you'd have to click it like 6 times in order for it to send. Ha, and get this! There's many many people telling how that website scams people entirely. Anyways, diving into the CORE of my situation is that recently, I tried playing Sims 3, on this terrible laptop, and my drivers are outdated. (Horrah!) So I was like, okay, let's update. Come to find out, the updated drivers are 2011 which I don't even know why. Yes, yes I know. Acer Aspire 4339, so so old. But in order to actually download most things, you aren't able to update the Intel Graphics since it's customized by Acer. (Great!) *sarcasm* Also, whenever I try to update my chipset with the lovely Intel Update utility, I'm slapped in the face with errors. Went to Acer and my product, I can't download the chipset? I don't know. I'm confused on why there's OUTDATED software for Acer Aspire 4339. Not only that, I need an UPDATED version of Intel HD Graphics. The latest driver is literally from 2011. Come on. Why would the video card even be customized by Acer???? Ugh, if ANYONE can find me an UPDATE for Intel HD Graphics on the Intel website thank you, you've saved me from ripping my hair out. Since there isn't any updates, I won't be able to run MODERN gaming software on this computer. My Computer specs: Intel Celeron(R) CPU P4600Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (Pretty sure that's all you need.) My GPU is integrated, too. Since it's a laptop. I need to bypass this OUTDATED driver and get one at LEAST in 2012 and later. I tried so hard to avoid this forum, but Acer pushed me too far and now I'm here. So please, save my hair before I rip it out from the frustration that lovely Acer has given me.

bypassing custom Intel drivers is easy. check on programs/features if any Intel VGA drivers is listed and uninstall, if not...go to device manager, choose display adapters, right click your Intel VGA and choose to uninstall, deleting software drivers too. at next reboot, probably windows will be low res but you will be able to install the latest Intel original VGA drivers.

Hi,
you need to understand how eventing works in BSP and MVC architecture. Pls refer to the below link for a basic understanding of how BSP works - View, Controller and Model class concepts.
http://www.sapdev.co.uk/webapps/bsp/washome.htm
For your requirement -
1. you need a view on which you will create a drop down list UI element and a table view element
2. you will need to create a contoller class - this will be used to handle the event that will be triggered when user selects an entry from drop down list
3. you will need a model class in which you will write the business logic to retrieve employees of selected department.
Pls search this forum or blogs for - data binding with BSPs, Table View. Pls read these concepts and try to develop your requirement. You can come back to this forum if you face any issues during development.

Help with video playback after updating to 3.1

Hi there, after updating to 3.1 on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, I restored it and loaded some videos I converted. On playing those files, the video would play normally until at a random point the video frame would freeze, while the audio continues to play. If I quit the video app and go back to the video, it would play again normally for maybe 1 minute and then the video frame would freeze again, while audio still continues.
These video files were working perfectly before I updated to 3.0, so I doubt that there is a problem with the files. Could someone suggest what I should do in this situation? Should I revert the firmware back to what it was before updating to 3.0?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same issue, except that if I let it go on for a few secomds the video eventually catches up. I am also watching converted videos, and mine are in mp4 format. I haven't tried m4v yet but this is still a bug that Apple should fix.

Help with Ipod, restoring, and updating Itunes!

I was trying to buy a game when it told me I had to update my Iphone software to 3.1.2. So I plugged my Ipod in, and tried to update it. It then told me I needed to update Itunes to 9.0.3 before I could update my Ipod. So I started to update Itunes when an error came up.
So I thought that maybe I didn't really need to update Itunes, so I went into the Itunes store and bought the update for my Ipod. It started to download, and then it froze. My ipod had the screen with the apple on it.
So I didn't know what to do and I looked at tech support and it said to restart your computer. So I unplugged the Ipod and restarted the computer. When the computer came back on I pugged the ipod back in and the screen said to connect to Itunes.
So I connected it to Itunes and all my information was gone! It said it detected my Ipod was in recovery mode and to restore the ipod. So I try to restore it and then it says error (1603) and won't let me restore my ipod.
I tried looking up the error and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea what I did and I'm worried I may have lost everything.
So now I can't even get my Ipod to turn on and it's my dads and he is not very happy. And I don't think he has backed it up in a while. So help would be VERY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

hi i have a similar problem as well, my ipod touch showed the connect to itunes icon, i did it and still showed it. i think this is after i tried installing the latest software up date. this is the second ipod this has happened to of mine. i am so frustrated and i would really appriciate help from an apple techicians or anyone else. i saved up a long time for this ipod. pls email [email protected] or txt +254724446340!

Help with backing up files, Toast, restoring comp to factory settings, etc.

Hello!
My computer (iBook G4, Panther, 10.3.9) has been acting a bit buggy lately, and I have way too much clutter and confusion (I have had this laptop for about three years now and when I first got it I wasn't really organized as far as computers go, so I didn't take good care of my files, I moved things around, things got deleted, etc). I know that you can 'restore to factory settings' which I would love to do, but of course I have to backup all my photos, music, documents, etc.
So here are my questions:
1. I have Roxio Toast Titanium, but I cannot figure out where to get the DATA for my song files, and my photo files. I have SO many files that I need to use the data instead of just burning disc after disc...that would take forever and I would only be able to do about 20 songs per disc, and I have something like 1765 songs or something. Anyway, do I just drag my folder that says 'itunes library' to Toast (under the 'data' tab), or do I have to actually find some different file that is purely the data? If so, where do I find that file? (sorry if that made no sense, I'm a little boggled...I've been trying to do this for about two days straight now).
2. Okay, so I have an up-to-date iPod, and I was wondering if, instead of backing up all the files in my iTunes library, I could just connect my iPod to my comp after I have 'returned to factory settings'. The only reason I ask this is because last time I updated my iPod, there were some song tracks that had been deleted from my library but were on my iPod still, and the computer asked me if I wanted to export those tracks from my iPod to my iTunes library. Does this not work if you have an entire library worthof stuff?
Anyway, my next, much more distant and complicated (ha) questions is this:
I have my iBook G4 Software install discs (one and two). Is that all I need ti install all the apps. again after returning my comp?
Alright, thank you for taking the time to read all that. Thanks for the help!

1. Unless you've told iTunes not to copy music you've added to the iTunes library, backing this folder up will back up your entire iTunes library. If applicable, deauthorize the machine before restoring the computer.
2. This will work with music purchased from the iTunes store, when the computer is authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store account used to purchase that music. It will not work with music you've gotten from CDs or other sources.
3. Yes.

Help with backing up Macbook Pro C2D

Hi - I've been searching around the Internet and have come across countless threads about backing up a Macbook Pro, but most seem to be outdated.
My wife has a Macbook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo which is currently running 10.4.11. We've been throwing around the idea of upgrading, but decided we'll just update the OS (so we can use iTunes/sync iPhone). I've read a lot of the same suggestion - backup the hard drive. This has never been done on this laptop, so I am most certainly overdue.
With that being said, what is the easiest (and preferrably cheapest) way to backup my entire laptop? I don't own any external harddrives, but I would be willing to purchase if it's the cheapest option. Cloud storage would be great, but I'm not sure which companies provide the best service (some I've seen only backs up data like pictures and documents, not the actual OS and applications). I don't have a 10.4 CD in case the 10.6 install fails. I also don't have any of my software CDs such as Microsoft Office.
I'm open to any suggestions and I apologize for my post - I'm sure it's something that comes up often, but I want to make sure I have current feedback.
Thanks,

Courcoul, thanks so much for your help. I'm currently searching for an external harddrive w/ Firewire - they certainly try to trick the consumer with selling a USB 3.0 with the option to "upgrade" to firewire.
A 500GB drive should do it, which would you recommend out of these options:

http://www.amazon.com/Passport-Studio-Portable-External-Storage/dp/B005ELBSXS/re f=amtcd_B00378KLYM_B005ELBSXS
(or any others you may be able to suggest)
