How do I back up all photos in i photo to a 1 TB seagate portable drive?
Hi there
I am attempting to add the photos on i photo to the back up on a 1 TB Seagate portable drive.
It does not seem to add photos to the backup.
Does anyone know what I do to test if iphoto is saved to the portable drive, and what I should do to ensure that my photos are included in future backups to the portable drive?
many thanks
Barbara
Use Time Machine.

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.

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 -

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.

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. -
I am getting my phone sent away to be serviced. So i want to back up all my photos, contacts, etc wo when
I recieve a new phone i can just continue on.You should be syncing wverything with your comptuer regularly. It should all be there.
Contacts should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync ( Outlook or address book for example). Sme for calendars.
All of your itunes content should always be in itunes and included in your regular backup of your computer.
Pics synced to iphone from your computer should be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer..
Pics taken with iphone should be imported to your comptuer regularly as with any digital camera.
Why would everything not be on your comptuer? -
How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account
How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account
If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone. Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge. That will get your contacts over.
If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream. This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature. You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream. If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App. In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream. There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

How do I back up all of my pictures that are saved on to my iPod touch 4th generation?
I have looked through nearly all of the setting on my iPod touch 4th gen. and I can't find out how to back up all of my pictures. Are they automaticly updated to the cloud and if so how do i get to the cloud?
Camera roll photos are automatically included in your iCloud backup. However, if you delete them from your iPod and continue backing up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and the deleted photos will be lost.
The safest thing to do is to import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
