How do i make abackup copy of Lion with a UBS2?

I am thinking about downloading Lion, i do not have a external harddrive. So i need to make a backup copy. I have a brand new unused Kingston USB. Once i have copied the software to the USB, where do I install it from? The copy on my USB? Or the original on my desktop? If you can offer any advice on this procedure, I would be grateful because i hardly ever download, and i've never copied anything of this importance before.

When you download Lion it will put the installer in your Applications folder and present you with an 'install Lion window'. Before clicking on the install screen copy the Lion installer to the USB drive (USB drive needs to have at least 4gb of available space). Eject the USB stick and continue with the installation. Once the Lion install is finished the installer in the applications folder will disappear so you are wise to copy it first.
Edit: As a side note, from your description it sounds as though you don't have an external back-up of all the important data on your Mac. I'd really recommend getting an external and at least keep a Time Machine backup.
Legend has it that there are two types of disk drive - one that has failed and one that hasn't failed yet. Having a backup in place will save you a world of pain. I know this for a fact .

How to make a copy of lion on disc

bought a new mac pro with lion installed and i want to make a copy of lion so when my hard drive goes bad i can install it whith a disc.

Here you go:
OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
The procedure describes how to create a bootable USB flash drive, but the procedure to create a bootable DVD is similar. A DVD will take much, much longer to boot, so the USB flash drive method is preferred.
By the way, realize that you do not need to do this if your HD needs to be replaced. As long as you have a fairly fast wireless connection you need nothing else. The download itself might take one or two hours on a ± 10 Mbps connection.

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.

That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

How can I make a query by date with several TDMS files?

Hi,
I have a project that can write and read TDMS files everyday (a file for each day with date and time). There, I can import those files to excel (I choose a file and load it). But, I have a question: How can I make a query by date with those TDMS files? I'd like make a time stamp for start date and stop date, where I could compare the TDMS file dates and sum the values that are in the channels where these files are similar. For example, I save a file with "02/01/2013" name, in other day "03/01/2013", in other day "04/01/2013"... so, i'd like put in time stamp for start date "02/01/2013" file and to stop date "04/01/2013" file, than, sum all values that range with my TDMS files existing. How can I make that?
Thanks all,
Val

Hello Val_Auto.
You're Brazilian, no? Me too. = ^ - ^ =
I converted VI to version of your LabVIEW (8.5). Is attached in this reply.
This VI search all your TDMS in a range of dates and join them in a single TDMS. I hope this is what you wanted.
Query TDMS is the main VI. The TDMS VI Search changes the date format that out from calendar control (which is DD / MM / YYYY) to DD-MM-YYYY. This is because you can't name files using "/". I chose "-" but, if necessary, you should change to keep the same format of your TDMS files.
If you have any doubt as to its operation or how to make changes to adapt VI for your application, keep at your disposal.
Thank you for your contact; I hope have helped you and succeed in your application.

How can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

how can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

Émilie,
The default for X-Y Charts is for X values not to be shared, so it's entirely possible for you to create X-Y pair sets that have common Y-values and independent X-values.
This answer assumes, as always, that I properly interpreted your problem statement. A linear fit line for each pair set should satisfy.

How can I make Aperture share on Flickr with sRGB?

Since I upgraded to 3.3, all photos I share on Flickr have an embedded Adobe RGB profile. Changing Web Export presets has no effect; neither does any other setting I can find. How can I make Aperture share the images with sRGB instead of Adobe RGB?

If it is possible you do it by changing the print product country in the iPhoto preferences

HT204053 I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

Did you simply change the primary email address of your existing AppleID at
https://appleid.apple.com/
Or, did you create a new AppleID. If you created a new AppleID, then you cannot. All you can do is use the iCloud with the old AppleID, or create a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.
If you changed the primary email address of the exisitng AppleID, you may need to uninstall the iCloud account on the iPhone and reinstall it to get it to use the new email address and password (you won't loose anything, its just there a means of resetting the cached credentials associated with the iCloud account).

HT4111 how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

I know this question is old but I just found out the real answer. After you turn on the little switch on the left side of the HIPPIH AppsKey Keyboard and the blue light blinks, I want you to look just above it. Do you see that hole right above the word PAIRING? Go grab a paper clip and press down in to the hole for about 2 seconds. This sends a signal to the ipad and in the BLUETOOTH menu you should see "Keyboard" under DEVICES. Click on it and dialogue box will pop up asking you to put in a passcode for the keyboard.
It took me way too long to figure this out.
Stupid recessed button.
