How do I assign a disk drive to backup my iPad

I am trying to update to iOS 8.1.1, using iTunes on my PC.  However, there is insufficient space in my C: drive to backup the iPad Mini.  I have other hard drives that have space and want to use one of the other drives for iTunes to perform the backup.

KenW3668, please NOTE:
iCloud will backup:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
iCloud Backups exclude the following:
Music, movies, and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Podcasts and audio books
Photos that were originally synced from your computer
These threads are full of people who were not aware of those last items that are NOT backed up to iCloud. Be forewarned and make sure those specific items are backed up to alternate devices.

    I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

    The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
    Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    How to find out if disk drive is faulty already?

    Hi Sükrü
    You can read the table E071 with the object id and get the transport request number. Use this transport request and read the table E070, the field "TRSTATUS" will give the status whether the object is locked or released.
    Hope this helps !

    How do I open my disk drive?

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
         /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • How to access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    ...Called it a roaming network.  Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended.  Probably need to uncheck that?
    Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The other important settings for a roaming network are:
    Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
    Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
    Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
    Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

  • How to retrive all available disk drive ID from windows OS??

    I plan to design a "file chooser" by myself because
    the one provided by JDK1.3 has a serious bug:
    when the signed applet open a file chosser, the program will crash.
    I want to list all available disk drive ID.
    Does anyone know how to do this??
    Thanks

    My guess is that you will have to implement a native call. Check out the Windows function GetLogicalDrives()

  • How to download pics onto thumb drive as backup

    I need help to find out how to download pics from adobe photoshop onto thumb drive for backup purposes?

    Sounds like you are using photoshop elements and not photoshop. As photoshop does not store any images. For photoshop all images are where ever you placed them which can be moved or copied using your OS's default file browser.
    Since I mever used elements, I can only guess, that the database in elements only points to the original files, Try right clicking on on of the files and see if it has an option of viewing in your file browser. This would give you the location so you can copy or move files to your flash drive.
    I am using file browser loosely as I do not know if you have Windows or a Mac.

  • How to install a floppy disk drive

    I have an HP Pavilion 20-b150 All in one desktop PC  running Windows 8. I want to use some old floppy discs from my old XP computer. I have bought an external floppy disc drive which was recommended as using Windows 8 but when I plug it into a USB socket it just sits there and nothing happens. It came with instructions or installation disc. What am I doing wrong or is the drive a dud? Please tell me how to install it.
    Thank you

    Hi:

    It came with my nc6400 business notebook.  Works like a champ.

  • How to access Time Capsule USB Drive data remotely via iPad

    How can I (with my iPad) remotely access some .xls files stored on a USB Pen Drive attached to my Time Capsule?

    This is very difficult.. I have heard there is AFP file app for the ipad but haven't seen if it can work.. the normal file app for ipad is actually SMB based.. TC does not offer SMB to WAN.
    If the files are small, cloud is your best choice.
    If you really need access to the TC, then use vpn.. I believe there is a vpn function in the ipad.. get a vpn router and bridge the TC.. you should then be able to safely and securely connect and get files.
