  • How can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open?

    how can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open? I just wan't to make a backup to my pictures not my entire computer so how does Time Machine work on that?

      you could also clone the drive or volume, or just some of the user folders. look for carbon copy cloner, then enable the "use checksum to insure file integrity."
      you can have multiple iPhoto Library catalogues in different locations.
    Continue to use TimeMachine and make sure it has 350% or more capacity than your system and data.

  • How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

    How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

    Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1813
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1105
    And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Backup_retrieve.html
    iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around. 
    If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net).  They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

    Hello.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

  • How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

    I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow.  How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
    For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
    Can anyone help ?

    Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
    I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.

  • ICal does not allow me to edit "minutes" in the appointments. when i make an appointment it defaults it to xxhrs 08mins (example 16:08) how can i make an appointment for 16:00 or 15:30 hrs ...etc.

    Hi,
    You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
    Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • 2 questions : How do I know if a video in Flash is streaming? 2nd - how can I make an overlay for video?

    Two questions :
    1) I have created a QT.mov, imported it into Flash, but after
    thinking about it, I want to be sure it is streaming for the web.
    How can I be sure of that? If it is not, what code can I put to
    make sure it is loading?
    2) How can I make an overlay for the video that disappears as
    soon as the user clicks on the play button?

    1. Without a flash ciommunication server for TRUE streaming
    of the file, what you get is called Progressive streaming. This
    means once the video begins to download it can start playing before
    the file has completely downloaded to the user. There are good
    descriptions (including pros and cons) of this here:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/overview.html
    2. If you have the file set to start automatically there will
    be no need for the user to push the play button. You could just put
    a graphic on top of the video component, and use actionscript to
    make the graphic invisible when the play button is pushed.

  • I did backup from my Imac to external hard drive, how can I unzip that backup to my mac

    I did backup from my Imac to external hard drive, how can I unzip that backup to my mac again

    It may be Time Machine, but Time Machine doesn't store backups in .zip folders. Open Finder and select your backup external disk in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". If you are using Time Machine, you should see a folder called "Backups.backupdb".
    If you are using Time Machine and you want to restore a full Time Machine backup, there are different methods depending on the Mac OS X version you are using. Open  > About this Mac, see Version and tell me what version you are using
