How do I backup my 'Hotmail' & 'AOL' emails to my hard drive.

I use Windows 7. I also use Windows Live Mesh to back up my data files. I have been advised to make back up copies of my emails, but no one seems to know just how to set about doing this. I use Hotmail and also have an email account with AOL.

How do I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

How can I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

I have attempted to make sure my iPhoto library has been backed up on the external hard drive and that it is safe to delete some events from my internal hard drive
You need to think this through.
Time Machine is a back up application. It keeps a rolling back up of the data. It's called rolling because it means you can revert to the data you had on a specific date and time. But that's not eternal, and as time goes by, and your drive fills up, older backups are deleted. So if you delete Events on your Mac they will - eventually - also be deleted from the Time Machine back up.
If you wan tot archive data hendon't use Time Machine for that job. Here's how you might archive an iPhoto Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive?

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.
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 do I backup my iphoto library from an external hard drive to an online storage service?

I moved my iPhoto library from my iMac to an external hard drive because I was running low on memory on my computer. I decided I wanted to backup my computer files with an online service since I no longer have the external hard drive as a backup. I am using ZipCloud and have tagged my iPhoto library to be backed up (it is called "Rebuilt Library"). I can see "Rebuilt Library" on my online backup files but it doesn't contain my pictures, just a few folders and some random data files.
I started using ZipCloud before I deleted my iPhoto library from my hard drive so all of my pictures except the ones from the last month or two are backed up online under the files of my main hard drive; indeed they show up under "Rebuilt Library" there in nice folders separated by year and then event. I would feel better if I could get the newer pictures on there as well.
Does anyone know how I can get these files backed up to an online service?
Thank you.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Is your library a package when on your Mac? Does that package remain a package when backed up to ZipCloud or is it just a folder? How big is your library? What's the library size as determined by the Finder?
The photos will be stored in subfolders inside the Originals folder or Masters folder inside the library folder/package. You are running a Managed library, right?
I'm not familiar with ZipCloud but it might not handle OS X packages properly.

How do I backup the iTunes Library to an external hard drive?

I have no space on my computer anymore for anything and I need to export and save all my music on an external hard drive (MYbook) is that possible??? Do I really need to just backup everything on OUTDATED CDs or what???!!! That just seems like an insane process and I know it's possible for MAC users...

*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

How do I backup a powerbook G4 to replace the hard drive

Help please! I want to replace the 30 GB drive in my power book G4 with an 80GB.
How do I clone everything that's on the old drive before installing the new one and then how do I restore it?
I do own power mac G4 with space to back up to it .
I tried to connect fire wire between the two computers thinking that it would show up as a drive and I could just drag it into another dive in My power mac but nothing happened.
I do own a carbon copy cloner utility by Mike Bombich but not shore how to do this. any help would be apreciated. Thanks!

After installing the new 80GB drive, it does not show up when I try to do a software restore.
You probably need to use the OS X Disk Utility (which you can run from the other Mac with your PB connected in FireWire Target Disk Mode) to format the new hard drive before you can copy anything onto it. Be sure to select the Mac OS Extended format, and select the option to install OS 9 drivers if you'll ever want to boot into OS 9 or have the disk seen by any computer that's running OS 9.
If Disk Utility, used as described above, can't see the new drive to format it, you probably didn't securely connect the new drive when you installed it. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting it. It can sometimes take considerable pressure to snap the logic board connector firmly into place. Check the drive end of the short HD cable, too.

How do I backup copy of music library to a hard drive not CDs ?

I have a Maxtor 500 Gig backup drive and want to put all my itunes stuff in there ... how can I do this without going thru the hassle of burning everything to CD/DVD ?

The following link should help you out. A couple of things not mentioned on the link, there are 2 associated database files for iTunes, the .xml & .itl files which contain playcount, last played, playlist info, etc. These 2 files MUST STAY on your system's main HD (C drive, I assume) as that is their home & they can't be moved. The other thing is that once you have made the move, you want to make sure you boot up the EHD prior to opening iTunes or iTunes will revert the music folder location back to the main drive. If you should forget, simply close iTunes, boot up the EHD< & re-open iTunes. Hope this helps.

How can I backup my photographs from Photos to external hard drive?

LLike everyone else, I recently upgraded from iPhoto to Photo. What is the procedure to back-up full-size photographs in Photos to an external LaCie Rugged hard drive for safekeeping? I don't want to use iCloud since with 35,000 photographs in Photos on my MBP, it will cost me $9.99 a month for storage, since I've already spent $3,300 on a new MacBook Pro.

Thanks for your suggestion, LarryHN... I already do this through my Time Capsule, but I wanted to be able to move individual full-size photos to another external drive. I figured it out tonight when I noticed Photos allows you to export full-size photos to other destinations... such as an external LaCie. So thanks again for your help.

How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a closed email account

How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a former employer on my iPhone 5s. I can open the emails, but don't have access to the server - just messages on iPhone. Thanks!

Hello stoutstout,
I imagine that forwarding the email does not function (since your account is closed), so I do not know what other options there would be.
I know this is inconvenient (and unprofessional if you need those emails forwarded) but I would probably just screen shot all the important information I need from these emails.

There is not enough disk space to download new messages. How can I backup my old emails onto my hard drive to create room for new message?

When trying to download new email messages I receive an error "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have emptied my trash, removed all the junk, deleted about 1gig worth of email and im still having problems.
I have a ton of folders that I store all of my emails in, so that I can easily find older emails. This email has been working fine for me for about the pass 5-6 years and now I have problems. I would like to be able to back up my emails onto my hard drive so that I have them on hand. What is the best way to go about this? Because of my file structure I am not able to see all of my messages on one screen. Is there a way to select emails from a certain year?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

''Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and'' '''compacting your mail folders'''
If you did not compact the folders after marking the messages for deletion, you have not deleted anything.

How can I back up GoDaddy email to a Hard Drive?

I apologize! I should have added that I've already seen that solution on the GoDaddy Site, and it is completely unhelpfull!!!
I already know how to do that, but the emails i want to backup contain sensitive Client info, and I DO NOT want it stored on some other server. The Key words in my question were TO A HARD DRIVE. Thanks much anyway. :-)
Maybe my question would be more acuratly posed as " How can I ARCHIVE my Godaddy email's to a Hard Drive?

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.
