How to create a back up cd ??

Hey everybody, I need some help !!!! I just got a used Macbook Pro 7.1 and I did not get from the previous owner the discs that come with the computer. Is there any way that I can do a back up o mirror image of the hard drive like it is now (he format it and its like when you turn it on for the first time) Just in case I'll have to re load OS X down the road. Can I do that to a CD ?? and how??
Many thanks in advance guys !!!!

I did not get from the previous owner the discs that come with the computer.
Not having the original discs drastically lowers the value of the computer. These original master discs cannot be made from your computer you can try to buy them on eBay or telephoning Apple.
Recommend that you backup the entire computer using "Carbon Copy Cloner" as this might be your only way to recover things should your hard drive fail.

Hi and welcome to Forum!
You should learn RMAN (Recovery Manager) to do your backup with Oracle suggested way
Then you can restore and recover this backup in any instance
For more information, you can refer to below listed documentations :

How to Create a Back button in Flash

Hi all,
I need to create a back button for my flash app. It doesn't
need to be connected with Browser. It just need be able to remember
what frame they were viewing, and bring them back.
Is there any event I can use for this? I made an variable
called "visited:Number" and change it on every frame, but this
won't work. Once the user enters a new frame, the original visited
number is replaced by current already. I don't know how to hold
that number, before they leave the current frame.
Can anybody give me little clue/direction please?
Thank you...

Hi
I believe that you should look at the Forms functionality for UCM . Under Content Management - Web Form Editor will show up the editor where in you can add buttons and attach functionalities to it . With UCM 11g this is not available thus you might need to use AJAX to build the requirement .
Thanks

How to create a back-up version of your helpsystem

My institution is going through a conversion of our core systems in September of this year and I need to develop a process for updating the 700 helpfiles I have within my helpsystem. Is there a way to create a mirror image of my helpsystem so that I can work con-currently on both helpsystems? This way when it comes time for conversion in September, I can simply publish the mirror image copy that has been updated with the correct procedures and the old version would no longer be live.
I am currently using RH7 but we are in the process of being updated to RH9 but I am not there yet. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Hello again
Personally, I dislike just double-clicking the XPJ to open things up. It may work fine on your system and if it does, I'd say go for it. But I'm notorious for installing many different versions of RoboHelp and other apps on the same system. So I have avoided working that way to open projects because I want to easily control what version of RoboHelp opens when I open a project. My way of working involves first opening RoboHelp (the version I want to use for the session) then opening the project.
Can't help you there with adding the project back to source control. I'm aware of Source Control. I know how it's supposed to work in theory. But I've never used it with RoboHelp. At least not in the recent methods where it's all integrated and RoboHelp operates on your behalf by checking things in and out and all that rot. Personally, I've always avoided integrating because it adds a new level of complexity to the mix. This thread is an excellent example of just one of the many reasons.
Certainly I think I'd try by reversing the steps. And as with anything where you are modifying files, I cannot stress this enough. backups Backups BACKUPS!!!!!
Cheers and best of luck to you... Rick

How to create and back up a media server?

I have a ton of photos and videos that I would like to share among several Mac's and PC's in my house over a wireless network. I would like to create a wireless shared media server which will run day and night without having to keep any computers on. At the same time, I would like to back up this media store on a regular basis. I would also like to sync some of the content to my Apple TV.
The solution I've come up with (at least theoretically) is to connect an external 500 GB drive to an Airport Extreme Base Station and use it as an Airport disk. I will dump all of my media files onto it. The problem is, how do I back this up?
Well, I have pre-purchased the 1 TB Time Capsule. What I'm hoping is possible, is for me to be able to have my MacBook Pro access my Airport disk, and back it up through Time Machine to my Time Capsule, wirelessly. Will this be possible?
I have found hundreds of messages about people trying to use Time Machine to back up data TO an Airport disk, but not FROM an Airport disk - so I want to know if this is possible?
Next, I need to sync my media Airport disk to my Apple TV. I assume I can just use my MacBook Pro to mount the Airport disk and use it as the source for syncing to my Apple TV?
Now, you may ask why I don't just get the Time Capsule and place all my media files onto it, in addition to using it for backup. Well, if the drive crashes, I will not only lose my backups, I will also lose all my original media files. Unless it is possible to back up the Time Capsule itself to an external drive for extra safety?
Sorry if this is confusing, but my basic questions are:
1. Is it possible to back up an Airport disk using Time Machine?
2. Is it possible to back up a Time Capsule to an external drive?
3. Is it possible to sync a shared drive (Airport disk or Time Capsule) to an Apple TV?
4. Can I run two wireless base stations (an Airport Extreme and Time Capsule) in my house?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible to create a media server, backup its contents, etc. but probably not the ways you are considering. There's hurdles to setting up anything of the nature you're considering.
First my responses to your questions followed by how I did it.
1. Is it possible to back up an Airport disk using Time Machine? No
2. Is it possible to back up a Time Capsule to an external drive? If I understand this question, you are asking if there is a backup for the backup. I doubt it based on #1.
3. Is it possible to sync a shared drive (Airport disk or Time Capsule) to an Apple TV? Only if the airdisk is mounted on the Mac to which you use to sync the Apple TV.
4. Can I run two wireless base stations (an Airport Extreme and Time Capsule) in my house? Yes, but your bandwidth will be reduced if both are operating at the same time, particularly if one is configured as a bridge. With some special configuring of both devices you may be able to not use the wireless of one unit if it is connected via the ethernet ports. I have not tried this.
I have over 500 GB of video, 16 GB of audio, and about 4000 photos. I've solved this media center desire as follows:
1. MacMini with 2 external hard drives, 1 contains the media and the other is the backup drive used by TM.
2. Front Row is used on the MacMini and the Mini is attached to a large screen TV
3. Other Macs in the house mount the media and backup drives from the Mini
4. All of the Mac's iTunes are configured so they only store references to the files on the mounted media drive. Each time files are added to the media drive I simply drag the files from the media drive to the iTunes Library. This eliminates the 'sharing' of the iTunes library and allows each person to create their own Playlists. iPhoto is configured similarly to iTunes and new files are dragged to its Library.
5. All the Macs are set to use TM on the backup drive attached to the Mini. The Mini's attached media drive is backed up via TM to the backup drive (again, both are attached to the mini).
I've tried the airport disk path previously and I found that it was necessary to occasionally remove the external disk and connect to a Mac to repair it in some fashion. I have not tried the new airdisk product itself -- just the original airport and an attached ext drive.
BTW, 2 of 4 of my Macs are laptops and none of them have any problem backing up to the Mini's backup drive via TM. I do, however, keep my video editing directories out of the laptop's TM backups; otherwise backups would take many hours as opposed to the typical 1-2 minutes.
Sorry I have not answered this in the way perhaps that you hoped but I have found my configuration to be very stable. The use of an airdisk as you described is the ultimate but I don't think all the tools are there to go all the way.
If you're interested in more detail, please ask.

How to create a back up disk of a Boot Up drive?

Hi all, I have a G5 with a start up drive A, i've created a new start up on a separate partition, drive B.
Installed the OS from Jaguar, Panther through to Tiger.
Now before I start installing all my audio applications, i'd like to back up Drive B to a DVD disk, is this possible?
So if i ever need to do a full re-install, i can skip the old OS installs and restore from the DVD. How would I do this?
Any help is throughly appreciated.
Thanks

What you are proposing sounds a bit convoluted; I'm not so sure I understand you fully.
I'll share with you my "belt-and-suspenders" method of backing up:
My boot drive is 40GB. My backup firewire drive is 230GB. I have the backup drive partitioned into two volumes; one 40GB and the other 190BG.
Every day I use SuperDuper to clone my entire boot drive to the 40GB partition. After it is done, I have an exact copy. If my boot drive fails, I can boot into the clone and continue working until I get the internal drive replaced.
But SuperDuper and other cloning programs have their limits. They protect well against hardware failure. But a far more common cause of data loss is user error; like when you accidentally delete a file. If you don't notice until after your next backup, SuperDuper will have purged the file from the clone. Software failure is another concern; like when your whole iPhoto library gets corrupted. Again, unless you catch it before the next scheduled backup, SuperDuper will replace the good library in the clone with the corrupted version.
That's why I also use Retrospect to make nightly archival backups. Every day it copies any new or changed folders over to an archive on the second partition. I can restore any file, folder, application, or even the whole drive, to any daily state in the last two months. If an important file gets corrupted or deleted, and I don't notice for 11 days, I just restore the 12-day old version from the archive.
That seems like it should cover it all, but there is also the problem of losing both the Mac and the backup drive to theft or fire. That's why I also have Retrospect back up my whole system to DVDs once a week or so, and store them off site. Retrospect's DVD backup system is quite good; it will continually append new or changed data to the same DVD until it is full and then prompt for a new DVD. So there's no need to re-burn a whole new set of DVDs every time.
This might seem like overkill, but my data is important to me and I can't imagine losing it all. You should have seen what happened when I accidentally deleted my wife's iMovie project of her whole pregnancy, and didn't have it backed up. I don't ever want to have to live through that again.

JDeveloper - How to create a "back button" using JSF

As simple as it sounds, I'm having trouble creating a basic back button on my JSF page. I'm using a af:goButton with the Onclick attribute stating history.back(). I've also tried history.go(-1) to no avail.... is there a trick to this?
Thanks,
Richard

If you are looking for a more advanced case as describe, you will need to reference the last navigation outcome in a managed bean so that you can execute it when the back button is clicked.

How can I Navigate back down a Branching Scenario

Hello
I've created a series of branching scenarios, but I can't figure out how to create a back
button to allow people to go back up the branch they followed.
I know you can use the "Go to the slide last visited" option, but that only works for once level of branching. If you use the same button command on the previous slide it won't take you back up the branch, it will go forward to the slide you were just on.
So I'm guessing I'm need to broaden my knowledge of variables and advanced actions.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

The way this sort of thing is handled in other software applications (not elearning applications) is to build arrays that record the user's path and then step back through them.
Captivate's Advanced Actions do not provide any way to build arrays, only standalone variables.
Why do your users need to retrace their steps through the branching? What is the objective?

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
Anything else you can tell us that might help?

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

Thanks for sharing this link.
I've posted a question here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22049103#22049103 describing my situation. Are you able to suggest me the right option?

Hi!
I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language. Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
Thank you very much!!!

They must be in the same project.

Dear Forum
I was using Adobe version XI and the signature feature disappeared from the menu. Now I downloaded Acrobat Reader DC. Using the menu and instructions I created a signature ID and customized the signature; however, when I go to sign a document it only shows the name layout or graphic image? How do I go back to using the certificate that I created?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

Thanks. I will try going through TM. Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive. Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means. It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility. Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it. Will look into

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html
