How to save files before installing utd Leopard

Greetings to you all,
I want to install the UTD Leopard in my imac g5, but before doing so I want to save/back up 'ALL FILES' passwords and so on to a disc.
Could you direct me to the help pages in the Apple support website?
Thank you!

Make a bootable clone to an external firewire drive, and use the free application Carbon Copy Cloner to copy over your entire drive. Then, install any way you like. You can then have a backup of everything, that should be bootable (test it) if you have trouble.
I would add to be sure to test the clone by booting into it before assuming it works.

    Get an external drive and clone your internal drive to it, you can use Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to achieve this.
    The external drive should be the same size or larger than your internal.

  • I am running Mac OS X and need to back up before installing Snow Leopard , can I back up to my Time Capsule?

    I am running Mac OS X currently and need to upgrade to Snow Leopard.  First I need to back up my computer.  I have a Time Capsule that automaticallyt backs up Snow Leopard and above but do not have Time Machine on this system.  How can I back up what I an currently running?

    Do I download these?  I am not particularly good at this, so any help would be great.  What I know now is that it is recommended to back up current comuter before installing snow leopard, but I have no idea how to do this.  I know I can go from 10.4.11 directly to Snow Leopard but am afraid I will lose data. 

  • How to save file in users temp directory in java

    How to save file in users temp directory as "<Drive Name>:\Documents and Settings\<User Name\Local Settings\Temp".

    Shouldn't the System property "user.home" reference to that directory on windows? So if you call System.getProperty("user.home");, I think it should return that path at least up to <User Name>. I never really tried it on Windows though.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • How to save files in MUSE?

    I have watched many of the MUSE tutorials, both on the Adobe site and Lynda, but I have not seen anywhere how to save files, or where. Please help. Thanks.

    Can you please elaborate your query here? Which file exactly are you referring to that you are unable to save? In Muse, it is just the Muse site/project file primarily with the extension .muse that you save/save as through the File menu.
    Thanks,

  • I have Leopard 10.5.8. How can i download and install Snow Leopard or Lion? Thanks.

    Currently, I have Leopard 10.5.8. How can i download and install Snow Leopard or Lion? Thanks for your help.

    You need to *call* Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE, as Ralph already said.
    But "since one week" sounds like a direct translation of French "il y a".  You should call your local country's Apple suuport and ask.
    Here is Amazon, from a "snow leopard buy" Google search: http://www.amazon.com/Mac-version-10-6-3-Snow-Leopard/dp/B001AMHWP8

  • 'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

    We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
    The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
    My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...

  • HOW TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF LEOPARD?

    UNFORTUNATELY MY IMAC COMES WITH TIGER PREINSTALLED AND NOT LEOPARD AS THEY PROMISE TO ME, THEY ARE GOING TO SEND ME A DISC... I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF LEOPARD WITHOUT HAVIND TO INSTALLE IT OVER TIGER?
    I think if i installed from whe tiger os, i will keep some parts of tiger.

    If your mac is new and you do not have anything on your system that you want to save then do a new install, When the installer asks you to select the destination ( HD) also open the option button and select the new install and select the extended format for the HD. Also the archive and install should work well for you.

  • How to save file with the "/" symbol in the name?

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Professional 8.  I need to save files with names that include the symbol /, but Adobe interprets, for example, A/88/6, as file name 6, in a folder named 88, in a folder named A, and sets up new folders to accommodate that.  I cannot substitute another symbol as I already have thousands of pdf files in a database using the / symbol, and I need them in the same folders.
    I would very greatly appreciate any advice,
    thanks,
    Mo.

    Thanks.
    As I said, I'm pretty ignorant about these things.  I wouldn't know how to begin using a "hack".  All I know is that I was able, for over a year, to save .pdf files directly from my browser on several computers, and use the forbidden "/" symbol in every file name.  After saving the files, Adobe will happily open them, and allow me to edit and re-save them, although I now see that it will not allow me to "save as" them under a different name without removing that symbol.
    I may not be tech-savvy, but I can state that everything I have said here and above is entirely accurate.  I would be happy to open a dropbox account to show you countless .pdfs with the symbol "/" in the name.
    This is honestly not that big a deal.  I greatly appreciate this discussion, and you have inspired me to become slightly less computer-ignorant.
    Hope you all had a great New Year.  I am still recovering.
    Cheers,
    Mo.

  • Can't edit iCal events like before installing Snow Leopard.

    When creating a New Event or trying to Edit an existing Event the title field isn't editable like before I installed Snow Leopard. If I try to click on the header field to edit it, the whole event box turns into a window with red & green buttons at the top and I STILL can't edit the title area! This doesn't make sense! Did something go wrong installing Snow Leopard? I've reinstalled it twice and still the same behavior. This can't be the way things are supposed to work editing events in iCal. I can edit the location and all the other fields in the event panel, but NOT the title. The only way I can try to edit the event title is by hitting the enter key and try to add characters before it switches to an un-editable field again.

    Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
    Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
    Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
    I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

  • How to save files received with iChat?

    I was in a text chat with a friend. He sent me an mp3 file, and it showed up in the chat window with the familiar play controls of Quicktime.. I was able to listen to it and everything. However, I couldn't figure out how to save the files??? All I could do was play, rewind etc...no way that I could see to save it.
    Any help you can provide?
    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    You should be able to drag it from the window to the Desktop and subsequently, any folder.
    Alternatively you can set iChat to save all Chats and replay it from there.
    Or use Save As when the App that uses the files is open with the file in question.

    I don't understand the problem. You write in the program where to save files, and it saves them there. Do you mean something else?
