How do I back up all of my iphoto library to iCloud and not be limited by photo stream?
I need to be able to back up my iphoto library of well over 1000 photographs going back seven years. I note that Photostream limits the number of photographs and the duration for which they are stored. How can I back up the entire library, even if I have to pay?
I'm with Paul. I'd recommend you buy external hard drive (or two) and copy over your iPhoto library. Or use Time Machine and back-up the photos along with your music, documents, etc. Keep the hard drive at work (in case of a home fire, flood, or theft). Every couple months bring the hard drive home to update the back-up and then bring it back to work the next morning.
If you also want to do an online backup, also check out http://www.carbonite.com
It will be much slower to upload than Dropbox, but less expensive. It's $60/per year for unlimted storage, but it will only back-up your internal drive at that price point.
edit: I just did a quick search and noticed that people have been having problems with Carbonite using too much processor power. There are other online back-up services, you may want to do some research.

How do i back up my iphone to an external hard drive and not my computer
How do I back up my iphone to an external hard drive attached to my pc and not my pc? My disk on my pc is almost full and even though I selected the external hard drive it still seems to try to back it up to my computer, then says I don't have sufficient storage. I cahnged my folder under preferences to the External Drive folder.
This is where iTunes stores backups for different operating systems: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
I do not use a Windows machine, have a Windows Vista Dell I rarely startup now. But, from what I remember with Win boxes is, you will have to create on the external hard drive a file system like that one iTunes normally uses, and then in the iTunes preferences or control panel edit the location for the storage to specify the name of the external hard drive, or its letter code, with the name of that file system you created on the exernal drive.
I would also move all of the files from the internal file system to the external since you have now told iTunes that is where they are...before deleting from the internal drive, test iTunes to see that it goes where you want it to go. -
All my contacts are only in icloud and not in my outlook?
I don't understand why all my contacts are not in outlook anymore - just in outlook - I would like to change it back.

Because you installed iCloud and moved your Contacts from a local account to an online account.
I would like to change it back.
Restore your backup after signing out of iCloud. -

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.
Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

Ben- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files".
actually I delete every thing in ALL MY FILES.
How could I back up all the photo?
and other data, such as movies and so on?
Do I need to go to Apple store to back up?
(time machine is turn off)If you don't have a back up then you'll need to use a file recovery app like File Salvage
To back up iPhoto you make a copy of the Library on another disk.

How to get back "Bookmark All Tabs" in menu ? Please if you don't want it (still quite some ppl want because it's usefull), at least allow to get it back trough Preferences (or at least about:config)
Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

HT5824 How do I back up ALL of my music in ITunes to the I Cloud?
How do I back up ALL of my music in ITunes to the I Cloud? Only about half of my songs are saved to the cloud.
By subscribing to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Otherwise only music purchased from the iTunes store is available through iCloud.
Or are you already an iTunes Match subscriber? -
im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

I think I have missed something in trying to read all of the pages on apple site about icloud.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't back up a computer to iCloud.
You can use any back up software, you should always back up to a different drive. -
Ok, so my whole family has the same apple ID so that we can all get the same music, and we want to be able to use icloud so that when one person buys a song it will push to all of our devices. But the problem is when I want my calendar on my mac to also be pushed to my phone it pushes to all of my familys devices. How can i keep the music pushed to everyones but the calendar and notes just between my phone and my mac using icloud?
Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.
