How are you backing up

How are people doing backups?

Have you ever Restored with Winclone? Does it make an image of the ENTIRE partition (if my bootcamp partition is 100 GB, my image is 100 GB), or just the parts that are used?
WinClone always leaves out the pagefile.sys since it is not needed for restore and built up again by Windows on the next restart.
Whether it imgaes the complete partition or only the parts of it that are used by files depends on the settings you make in WinClone.

How are you backing up data? (Movies, Photos, Music, etc.)

Wondering how people are backing up their photos, home movies, and music.
I personally am starting to run out of hard drive space on my external HD and wondering is just buying hard drives the best way to archive? Currently I have Media Files (photos, home movies, and music) and various documents backed up from my iMac to these three methods:
A: An external drive. My main backup of stuff.
B: I have another External HD which I only use for family photos.
C: About every two months I archive data to DVD's (two copies each) and that goes into the big box in the closet.
D: FTP Started to use FTP for stuff, since I have 100 gigs of online space. But this is really inefficient as my DSL speeds aren't that great. So I have abandoned this option.
Is there any other method you use that I haven't thought of? Something that would last me the next 4-5 years. I know HD DVD is coming, and HD's are getting cheaper daily. But at this rate I will be buying and transfering everytime a new media format comes out.
Cheers.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

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.)

HT201250 How can you back up os 10.5.8?

I'm wanting to back up my iMac before I add 10.6 on it. All the external back ups require 10.6 & up. So, how can you back it up? My computer already has Time Machine on it.
Thanks!

I don't understand why an external drive would require 10.6...the Mac OS X format (HFS extended Journaled) and partition scheme, GUID, have been used since Mac OS X 10.4. The Time Machine system has been in use since 10.5. Someone may be giving you some bad information.
Check the drives offered by OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what they have. I have three of their Mercury Elite pro external drives, 2 TB each, and they are great drives. OWC has on-line and telephone help so can answer any questions about compatibility of the drive you are interested in.
An external drive can be partitioned into a partition for Time Machine to use for backup, or another backup procedure, and a work space partition. I setup my drives, for three different computers, to have a backup partition and a Carbon Copy Cloner bootable partition and a storage partition. That way there is a good backup of the system, and a bootable copy of the system so if anything goes wrong I can simply boot (restart holding the Opt key then select that partition for startup) into a working version of the operating system.

HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

I can read your question a number of ways.
If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

How are you exporting 1080i60 (or 50) and how are you viewing it?

So I've had some bad experience working with 1080i60 and I believe the ways I choose to view it (MAC MINI to HGTV and MAC BOOK PRO) are not optimal. Therefore I'm very interested how are you are exporting 1080i60 (1920 or 1440) and what methods are you using to view and get the BEST possible picture quality?

It really depends on what you want to view your content on. One of the problems of viewing content on computer screens is that we sit so close we tend to see every little defect and imperfection in the video. That being said...
You need something to play the file back. This can be a taped-based camcorder with the necessary outputs or it can be another device. There are countless "Network Media Streams" out from companies like D-Link and Linksys, as well as hard drive based solutions from a company like Western Digital. These devices will all play .mp4 files, which you can easily create through Export with QuickTime Conversion or using another applications such as Compressor or MPEG Streamclip. Two other excellent options are the XBox 360 and the PS3. Personally I own the PS3 because it'll play a wide variety of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (h.264) material, including transport streams, program streams, and files. The Apple TV is another option, but is hamstrung by it's lack of power, and therefore can't play anything higher than 720p @ 24 fps or 540p @ 30 fps.
My recommendation is a PS3, even if you don't like gaming and you can swing it in your budget. Blu-ray support plus media streaming (via UPNP, which you do have to add seperately to your Mac, but Media Link costs $20) make it ideal. Plus it is robust in power and won't hiccup at high bitrate files like the Apple TV will.
When I encode (I use the Adobe Suite to encode but the bitrates can be similar for QuickTime) I encode with h.264 at 25 Mbps. High yes - but I've got nothing to lose since it's my own network and my own disk space.

How are you apple.... my iphone on activate iphone .. i forget my email passowrd,,, what should i do?

how are you apple.... my iphone on activate iphone .. i forget my email passowrd,,, what should i do?

Did anyone find a fix? My 4s started doing this ( after 1 yr of no issues) ,sadly it went from pink lines to No camera.My screen is frozen on the shutter. Front camera works but not the back one. I have tried all the resets,restores etc and nothing has worked. Was going to try putting a new camera but I suspect this is some software glitch.
Anyone put in a new camera and have it fix the problem?

RE: How are you handlingDistributedAccessExceptions?

Hi,
It is a very interesting experiment!
About your question. I think it depends on how you code your transaction.
According to the manual, a transaction will rollback if an exception occurs
and is being handled outside that transaction. Thus, in your situation, if
the DistributedAccessException is being handled within the transaction, the
transaction isn't being rolled back yet! Therefore, when things resume
normal, you can continue.
Regards,
Peter Sham.

Subject: How are you handling DistributedAccessExceptions?
We have been experiencing network "gaps" where we get broadcast
storms and it
causes a temporary network loss for the end user. We use a pattern
whereby a
central client service object updates via remote "persistence"
service objects
to persist data.
I've done some testing by disconnecting my own network cable before
I try a
"save" (which commits the data to the persistence mgr). My custom
exception
handler catches the DistributedAccessException, and displays, "Sorry
the
network was down, try again". Then I reconnect the cable, dismiss
the
"network down" dialog, and find that the transaction completes on
its own.
I wonder... can I always be assured that the transaction will
complete once
the network is available again? When would a user need to try the
transaction
again?

Hi,
I have a different understanding, which is slightly different from yours and
the difference is on the last exception handling clause for the big
transaction. My understanding is, if I handle the exception before the "end
transaction" just like the way the exception is being handled in the middle
operation, the transaction will still commit. That's why, I usually handled
the exception outside the begin/end transaction block.
Maybe I should do some experiment on this new findings.

Subject: RE: How are you handling
DistributedAccessExceptions?
You can also put operations you dont want to blow the overriding
transaction inside their own exception blocks as long as you dont use the
"begin transaction" keyword..
i.e.,
begin transaction
doSomethingImportant(); // if this raises, we raise to
bottom of the big block and blow trans
begin
doSomethingLessImportant();
exception
when e : GenericException do
log the exception, clear error stack, etc..
If we hit here it will still do the next
step below in the big trans
end;
doAnotherImportantThing(); // exception here will also
raise out and blow transaction
exception
when e : ....
end transaction;
My understanding is that the middle operation is part of the
transaction, and if the third operation raises something and the transaction
rolls back the second operation rolls back also. By adding the mini
begin/exception/end block around the second operation you have simply
avoided blowing the transaction if the middle operation fails. Note that
you could also FORCE the transaction to fail if the error coming out of the
middle operation is severe enough-Just dont handle the raised exception or
re-raise something.
Hope this helps..

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
There were 2000 songs to go through
So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
Can we do it with iTunes?
I know we can do it with Nero.

1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
2) Download your music into iTunes.
NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
yet.
3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
box.
4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
up blue.
5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
playlist.

How do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

how do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

Will time capsule back up the machine and the hard drive that is plugged into the machine?
Yes, if the hard drive with the video files is formatted correctly for Mac
On the Mac with the hard drive connected....click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the screen
Click Time Machine Preferences
Click Options
Here you will see a list of items that have been excluded from backups
Click the name of the hard drive to highlight it
Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of excluded items
The hard drive will now be backed up with your Mac on the next pass that Time Machine makes
