My backup is done with Shadow Protect, which as well as providing incremental backups - it adds any changes to the back up every 18 minutes - it also allows you to keep an image of your boot drive.  This image has t be accompanied with a bootable CD, so if your boot drive crashes, you can be up and running again in minutes.  I've never needed that feature, but I have lost two data drives in the last two years, and Shadow Protect came to the rescue both times.  One of thos drives was have a raid0 with many hundreds of hours of video editing.  It would have been a huge disaster to have lost that.

  • How do you remove photos permenantly from the hard drive using iPhoto 11?

    Was just wondering if this is possible as removing photos in iphoto leaves them on the hard drive and I don't want to waste disk space.

    btw it's set not to copy photos into the iphoto library
    This creates the problem.
    When you opted to run a Referenced Library you took on the resposibility for managing the files. You get the from the camera to wherever you store them, and if you want to delete them you get them from there to the trash after deleting them from iPhoto.
    iPhoto will not delete files it does not manage.

  • How can you download premier pro when the icon doesn't exist in cloud?[was:pr]

    how can you download premier pro when the iucon doesent exist in cloud???

    In order to download the software, your computer must meet the system requirements to run the software.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    The usual reason for not being able to download is that Premiere Pro (and other video apps such as After Effects) are 64 bit only so they require a 64 bit computer and a 64 bit operating system.
    If you're running a 32 bit computer and operating system then you will not see the Premiere Pro icon since the software will not run on your computer.

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • How do I deactivate DreamWeaver when the hard drive died?

    How do I deactivate DreamWeaver when the hard drive died?  It will not reinstall on the new PC because it wants the old one deactivated, which is impossible.  There is no way I can deactivate it and I have a legitimate copy.  I had it on one PC that died, so I bought a new PC and put it on that.  A few days later I had to return the new one because of problems with the PC.  They give me a replacement which seems to be working OK, only now Adobe thinks I have DreamWeaver all over the place.  I don't have it anywhere.  All I want to do is put my legitimate copy on my new PC.  HELP!!!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.  They can take care of the deactivation for the lost drive.  Chat operates 24/7.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • HT1727 How do I deauthorize a computer whne the hard drive has crashed and is not recoverable ?

    How do I deauthorize a computer when the hard drived has crashed and is not  recoverable ?

    You cannot directly deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so unless you've hit that limit it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. If you really want to deauthorize that system now, you can go into your iTunes Store account and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using.
    Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • Ipod makes weird sounds when the hard drive runs

    my ipod video is making weird click clak sound when the hard drive starts running. Is this normal?? HAs this happen to anyone before?

    HEY!!!!!! I wasnt alone. Amazing. I had the same experience with my new Black 30 Gig iPod 5 Gen. It had a 3 second delay, made lots of HD clicking noises. And worse after a few hours of usage, forgot 240 of my 270 songs that had been transferred onto it. This was all happening on the first day! Wow.
    Im sure glad to hear I was not alone. The sad thing is, Amazon is going to take 4 weeks to return my money to me. I will never again by a hardware product from Amazon.com. It simply takes too long. As far as Apple iPods are concerned, I believe they need alot of design renovation to put it frankly. Here are my complaints about the 5 Gen:
    1. No Screen Brightness Controls. A major no no.
    2. 3 Second Gaps between songs. What?
    3. The trackpad on the iPod is far out of alignment. Not sure who supplied these, but the Mini was far superior to the 5 Gen trackpad. The traction was severly off kilter.
    4. 284$ for an iPod that forgets 240 songs in a blink of an eye? I don't think so Apple. Get a grip. Woz was correct when he stated you all use crapy supplies for your parts.
    I thought he was kidding?!
    This was my first and by my choice, last iPod experience to be had with Apple. They are cute, but software/user level wise, they need alot of work.

Anyone know where to get it?

    What is the make and model of this recorder?  Do you have that information available?
    You can still use iTunes to transfer and manage your recorded audio.

  • How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

    How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive?  Will my machine run faster?

    If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
    To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
    Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

  • How do I install lion and format the hard drive?

    How do I install lion and format the hard drive, as though this was a new mac.

    If your Mac is a 2011 model and originally came with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple then you can use the Internet Recovery HD system to Wipe/Erase the Complete drive and Re-Install Lion.
    If it is an older model, even and early 2011 model, that did NOT come with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple you can not sell or give it away with Lion installed on it. You have to install the original version of OS X on it.

  • I do not have permission to delete my trash.  It only shows trash when my external hard drive is connected.  If it is not connected, the trash empties.  What can I do to have the trash empty when the hard drive is connected?

    When emptying my trash, I get "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."  (I always have a hard drive connected and have just found out that if I disconnect the hard drive, none of that trash shows in the trash can....so there has to be some correlation with the hard drive.  I have had my mac for a year, and never had this problem before though with the hard drive hooked up and all the trash being able to empty completely.)   How can I get rid of the trash.  FYI - I do not have the time machine hooked up, so I know that is not an issue.  Thanks for any ideas to try!

    Please look over XLab's Solving Trash Problems article for some hints. This is an excellent  place to start.
