HT201250 how can I check that all photos have been backed up in time machine

I have used Time Machine for the first time to back up my Macbook Air. Macbook Air's iPhoto shows approx 5200 pictures on file.
How can I check that the external hard drive (Time Machine) has all 5200 saved correctly before deleting the photos from the Macbook Air ?

The only way to check a back up is to do a restore of it.
However, why are you deleting your photos from the MBA? If you do they will also be deleted from Time Machine eventually. TM keeps a rolling back up of your machine. It copies and maintains your additions and deletions. Eventually, these photos will be deleted from TM too. It's not an archiving app.

TD

  • Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

    Since Snow-Leo time machine offers an option to verify backups, but I have found that it does not work for external disks attached by USB or FireWire.
    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • How can I check that all numbers in a serial number are numeric

    I wrote a vi that checks to make sure that a serial number is in the "mmddyy-xxx" format, where xxx can be from 0 to 999. The problem is if I enter something like "012210-A1" it passes. Is there an easy fix to fail anything where xxx is not in the 0 to 999 range?
    Thank you
    Solved!

    Hi chuck,
    you can do it that way:
    When the serial number isn't correct you will get an error from the ScanFromString function...

  • How do I check that my photos have synced from my phone to my mac air?

    I've not backed up my phone in ages so I backed it up and tried to sync a new playlist to it, then it came up saying "this iPhone is synced to another iTunes" and that I need to completely  erase my phone to be able to put one playlist on it.... I've had my mac over a year and my phone for maybe 9 months and it has never been plunged into another laptop or mac?
    Is there anyway of bypassing the "erase everything" button?
    I dont trust it because overtime this happens I lose a year of photos and all my music I've bought and its really annoying.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks xx

    Hello Fudge94,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand your concern for you photos when trying to sync or backup to your computer and you are given the prompt to erase your device. To ensure that your photos are stored in your Mac, please follow the instructions in the attached article to import your photos into iPhoto. This process does not use iTunes and will not erase your iPhone. You will be given to keep the photos on your iPhone or delete them after import, however. Please let me know if you have further questions about this process.

    Have a great day,

  • I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

    I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned?

    How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned, without clicking every photo in the event individually with the Info bar open to see if there is a little map in the bottom left hand corner please?

  • HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

  • How can i check that server still running?

    Hi everybody,
    How can i check that server still running before sending post?

    There are several ways of verifying if server is still running
    1) Through JCMon command line tool on server
    Call jcmon as <sid>adm using following command
    jcmon pf=/usr/sap/<sid>SYS/profile/<sid>_<instance>_<host>
    jcmon displays the server processes in status "Running" if all applications have started successfully. Otherwise it displays the appropriate status message
    2) Through SAP MMC which again shows the graphical status as Green
    3) On NWDS using J2EE view
    4) If telnet port is enabled on J2EE Engine, then you can remotely check the status of server using telnet command

    How can I see that I already have a song on my Ipod and review my full list of songs all together? So I don't reload the same song.

    In iTunes, try changing "album artist" tag to the same name for eack track,
    also make sure that "track number" values are correct and different for each.
