How can I 'see' what my external drive has backed up?

After losing info on my computer, I got a 1 Terabyte for the Mac back-up drive and it seemed to do its thing. Now, how do I see all the things its backed up? I want to make sure my music is there.

Hello again amember.
OK, so you are using Apple's own "Time Machine" for your backups.
You can change the interval at which TimeMachine backs up using the hint at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200710291721156
Alternatively you might want to try the "donationware" software available at http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html which fortunately overcomes the need to play around with text editors and plist files directly, though it still seems to need a few bugs sorted out.
Cheers

How can I see what MCS the customer has?

Hi!
I am trying to determine what kind if HW the customer has, to see if we can use the existing server for the CCM4.2 upgrade or if we need a new one.
When looking at the server I could see that it is a 7815 (tower) and when doing a msinfo32 in the "Run" field I could see that it is an IBM machine with 1Ghz CPU and 512MB RAM, the model was 847931X, which I assume is an IBM xSeries 200 8479-31X.
Maybe you aren't the right forum to ask but the Swedish Cisco accountteam did not have any clues, to I thought I just might try you guys.
Buying a new server seems very unnecessary if they don't need to do it.
Best regards, Johan Andersson

you will at least need to upgrade your memory.
cisco currently recommends a 7815-I1 or IBMx206. these servers are 3 & 2ghz respectively with 2gb ram.
how many phones does it need to support?

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

Archive files onto other media until your hard drive has at least 10% of its total size free, or at least 15+ GB at all times.

How can I see what has been backed up

After doing a category BU to my WD Passport Ultra, how can I see what was backed up? The Smartware tells me that what I selected was done.But how and where can I confirm this? Thanksgrowlybear

Simplest way is to open the drive in Windows Explorer, then in the root you should find a folder WD Smartware.stor. Within that should be a folder for each device you've backed up, and within that a folder for each drive on that device that you've backed up. Within those drive folders you should find the files/folders that have been backed up from that particular drive. You can look through them in the same way that you look through the files/folders on your actual drive itself, and confirm that everything is there that you expect to be.

How can I see what is on my cloud?

How can I see what is on my cloud? Also, I keep getting asked to manage storage when I am watching videos that I have bought through the store. I have bought lots of cloud space only half of which is used. Is my device too full of pictures or videos and how do I know if they are on the cloud or stored on the I tunes store where I bought them from?

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

How can I see what is in iCloud ?

How can I see what is in my iCloud? ( This is so easy to do with Dropbox. )

Hello Ziatron,
Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to that question.
- You could see how much of your storage space is currently used by opening System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...
- If you want to see what files are currently stored in iCloud, I suggest to open the iCloud Drive app via a web browser at www.cloud.com.
Best regards,
David

How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

How can I see what is in my iCloud and on iPad and remove some stuff on on iPod mini

How can I see what is in my iCloud and maybe remove some from my iPad mini

You have to sign into your iCloud account at icloud.com from a computer to view your iCloud data. Also, be careful not to delete data from your phone that is being synced to iCloud or it will delete if from iCloud too. (For example, if you delete a contact from your phone with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On it will remove the contact from iCloud too.)
