How can backup the old deta from time machine to OS X LION??

Hi there,

Thanks.

Sorry, but your post is not clear.
If all you did was upgrade to Lion, there's no reason to do anything. All your data, etc., should still be on your Mac, just as it was before.
Please clarify exactly what you did, and what the problem is.

>Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up. I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times. A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died. Thankfully it did recover everything. But I had my clone just in case it didn't work. Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant.

How to backup docs and pics using a USB drive?

I'm a fairly new Mac user and I'm panicking a little right now. I bought a USB to backup my pictures, documents, etc. (I also backup using Time Machine and an external drive, but wanted some extra protection). I just inserted the USB drive for the first time, it showed up on my desktop as "Untitled" (so far, so good), then I dragged my Documents folder from the Dock to the USB icon and the Documents folder from the Dock is gone. (Yikes!) When I opened the USB icon, there was nothing in it. I looked in Finder and my Documents are still in this Mac (somewhere), but how do I get the folder of them back onto the Dock? And before I go any further, what is the (proper) procedure for backing up my docs and pics (from iPhoto) to this USB drive?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not gonna touch a thing until I hear from someone with more Mac knowledge than this Mac newbie.

Select the drive in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and if it's format doesn't contain Mac OS Extended, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase it.
Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and drag the items inside you want to back up onto the external drive and drag the Documents folder to the Dock.

I received pictures in a dozen emails and saved each picture into one file in .pages. I did not import the photos before doing this and now iPhoto won't recognize the pictures because they are in a .pages file. How do I get the pics to iPhoto?

I received a dozen pictures in a few emails and I saved them all into one file in pages. I just copied and pasted. I do not have the originals any longer. Iphoto will not permit me to import the pictures as it does not recognize a .pages file, nor can I simply click and drag from the pages document to iphoto nor from pages to the desktop to iphoto. How can I save each picture I guess back into a jpeg and then import them into iphoto or have i lost them to a pages document forever? This is urgent as I need the pictures made into a book on iphoto for work by Friday!!! Please advise! Thank you.

Greetings,
Locate the Pages document wherever it's located on your computer and click once on it to highlight it.
Go to File > Duplicate to make a backup copy of the file.
Click once again on the file to highlight it.
Go to File > Get Info
In the "Name & Extension" category remove the ".pages" extension and put in ".zip".
Close the info window and double-click the now renamed pages file (zip file now).It will decompress into a folder which contains all the base components including all the images you added. These can be dragged onto the iPhoto icon to import them.
Hope that helps.

How to import the old library of iPhoto in a new imac with aperture 3.4.4

Hi guys I'm a happy owner of a new 27-inch iMac. I previously had a G5 and I had my old iPhoto library on an external hard drive. Now I would like to import this Iphoto library in Aperture. I do not want to create duplicates and I would not want the photos to be saved on the internal hard disk but in my exterenal hard disk.
After importing the Iphoto library can I delete it from the external drive?
What procedure should I use to make this?
Thanks in advance for your help and answer!

After importing the Iphoto library can I delete it from the external drive?
What procedure should I use to make this?
In addition to Terence Devlin's advice just a few words of caution, since merging and upgrading libraries will be a major reconstruction of the libraries - better be safe than sorry:
Check your available free disk space. Merging libraries will need temporarily plenty of additional disk space, more than the size of the library that will be imported.
Before upgrading your iPhoto library, check, if your backup of the iPhoto Library is current. Don't merge the libraries without having a current backup of both libraries - your Aperture library and your iPhoto library.
Merging and upgrading libraries is safest, if both libraries do not have any inconsistencies and permission issues. Run the "Library First Aid Tools" on both to repair the database and to repair the permissions, before you do anything else. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the key combination ⌥⌘, while double clicking the library in question.
After you imported the upgraded iPhoto library into your Aperture library, as Terence Devlin explained, check the result of your import carefully, if it is complete. There may be referenced images, that fail to import, or images synced from Photo Stream, Facebook, or something. Do not delete your old iPhoto Library, until you are sure, that every image has been transferred correctly and can be opened and edited.
Regards and Good Luck!

I want to backup my 2012 pics from iPhoto to disk.

Should I export what I want to the desktop and then burn? I have them backup up to TimeCapsule and another external just want to be assured I have something. After completing this how do I delete the files? I'm trying to make room on my hard drive. Thanks in advance. Rick

Are you trying to back up to optical media? Then export
File -> Export
to the Finder and burn with that.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
You then want to delete the files from iPhoto for space reasons? Why not move the Library to another disk - keep all your photos together?
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to tranfer all my pics in iphoto to windows machine?

all my pics are in iphoto,what is the easiest way? i looked in iphoto library under originals but all the event do not seem to be there,what is the easiest way? i understand i will have to reorganize in windows.please help

Yes, as they are not in the Original file.
If you want to export with the added metadata:
File -> Export, Kind: Jepg or Tiff (png does not fully support Exif or IPTC)
Check the boxes at Title and Keywords and Location information. That will get all the metadata that you added in iPhoto (Inclding descriptions, though not explicitly mentioned). Note that you won't get Faces. There is no standard for sharing Faces info.

How to backup original bios?

hello guys, this might sound silly, but, i really have no clue.
i got msi neo2-s bios (v1.0), and now, after the new beta bios release for msi neo2-s (v1.52), i want to flash it. but, before i do it, i want to backup my original bios, so, how can i backup my original bios?
thanks for the help guys!!!

thank u Tom.
but, is there anybody else that can help me to tell how to backup my old bios, if i want to use the dos to flash my bios?
i read in the readme that come with the bios, saying,
"10.Execute the flash utility with the ROM file as a command line argument, with this example:
awfl814b w6373nms.220
If you wish to save the current bios you must specify the full path a:\filename. Specifying only a file name will save the bios to the RAMDRIVE which will be wiped after restarting the computer and the file will not be saved.
a:\bios.old is an example of the correct way to save the bios."
i think, wat he means is to backup the old bios, but still, i don't really get it. wat should i do if i wish to save the current bios? is it only copy?

Uploading pics fro iphoto to AOL

Hi-I have read through some of the other threads concerning this issue and still no success. Appreciate if someone can walk through how I can send attach pics from iphoto to Aol email.
When I am in AOL email and trying to attach the pic, iphoto will not let me attach.
Before I go out and setup a bunch of accounts to test are there other free email programs that work seem less with iphoto
Appreciate any help
Thanks

iHustler
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
In iPhoto -> Preferences -> General select AOL from the 'Email Using...' drop down. Now select a pic in iPhoto and click on the email button (or go Share -> Email) and iPhoto will create an email in AOL for you, with the pic attached.
Other than that if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, as a 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
