I want to back up my photos to disks, but if i save my masters will it save tyne edits that i have made to the referenced photos? or to i have to make 2 disks, one for masters and one for referenced?

Hi, i just got my mac air and moved my photos from picassa to aperture. I save my masters to an external hard drive. I also back my photos up to a disk once a month. my question is if i burn the master photos to a disk will it save my edits to the versions? or do i have to make 2 disks for each month? I have had external hard drives die on me before and I just want to make sure they are backed up correctly to disks...thanks for any help!

Read the User Manual chapter on Backing Up.  The User Manual is good: logically presented, easy to search, and concise.  It should be the first resource you turn to in searching for answers.
Your Library contains your Images' Versions (these are just text files -- a detail that can be ignored for the time being).  Since your Images' Masters are Referenced (= stored outside the Aperture Library package), you must back up both your Library and your Referenced Masters in order to have a complete back up of your work.
Search the forum for some helpful comments re: backing up to plastic media v. to hard drives.  The consensus is that one's time and money are better spent backing up to hard drives at present.
Since your Referenced Masters plus your Library makes one complete back-up, there is no reason not to put them on the same drive.
I recommend keeping 3 copies of your work.  The active copy, and two back-ups, with one kept off-site all times (never have all three in the same location).  I also recommend keeping screen-size Previews of all Images, just in case there is some corruption or other reason that makes it impossible to create new full-size Images from your Versions (again, Versions are just text files -- they are not image-format files).

  • My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

    My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup.  It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
    Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box?  If so, do:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

  • The etag value \'\"1\"\' specified in one of the request headers is not valid. Please make sure only one etag value is specified and is valid.

    I try to receive data from a SharePoint List by using REST Services. (_vti_bin/ListData.svc)
    This approach worked fine for some days, until I get an error 400 with following error message:
    "The etag value 1 specified in one of the request headers is not valid. Please make sure only one tag value is specified and is valid."
    Hope anybody can help.
    Many thanks in advance.
    

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about retrieve data form list using REST in SharePoint 2010.
    I had created a simple demo to retrieve a list item, you can check with the following code snippets.
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("callCSOM");
    function callCSOM()
    $("#Button1").click(function()
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(ready, "sp.js");
    function getListItemById(webUrl,listName, itemId, success, failure) {
    var url = webUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + listName + "(" + itemId + ")";
    $.ajax({
    url: url,
    method: "GET",
    headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
    success: function (data) {
    success(data.d);
    error: function (data) {
    failure(data.responseJSON.error);
    function ready(){
    getListItemById('http://sp','ListB',2,function(data){
    alert(data.Title);
    function(error){
    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
    </script>
    <input id="Button1" type="button" value="Run Code"/>
    Thanks,

    The places.sqlite file is sized in 10MB chunks, so the file size is no indication that is has the bookmarks.
    Did you look for older JSON copies in the bookmarkbackups folder?

    You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

  • Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

    Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
    I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now :   )
    Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
    I Hope All Is Well In Your World :   )

    There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
    Network section.
    In Network - click  on Advanced - then the DNS tab
    under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
    either these, from google dns
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    or from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then click OK & then 'Apply'
    You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

  • I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?

    Hi tinashah817,
    Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
    See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

  • TS4209 Is there a way to make certain that I have this update? I run software update, and nothing is available, yet the problem persists.

    Is there a way to make certain that I have this update? I run software update, and nothing is available, yet the problem persists.

    I added this post in response to this parent post: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4209?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The parent posts mentions the solution to my problem is the update available when you run software update. However my system is up to date, and I still have the problem.
    Further information:
    When I return home from work, and wake my computer, the Wi-Fi indicator shows that it is trying to connect. It fails, and the signal bars show zero connectivity. If I click on the Wi-Fi indicator, the computer then searches for nearby networks, and I am able to select mine. Then it connects.
    It seems very clear that the problem is my iMac tries to connect before looking for networks.

    Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.

  • How do I save a still that I have extracted from iMovie and save it to iPhoto?

    I'm trying to save a still that I have extracted from imovie.  So far, all I can see is that it can be saved in the imovie project.  I need to save it to iphoto.  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm running Lion and have aperture too.

    Imovie 11? It isn't that easy. You could navigate to the movie event, drag that into Streamclip, and use MPeg streamclip to make a still from the movie. The freeze frame isn't a photo you can get out of imovie, as far as I know.
    Here is a youtube video on how to do it with iMovie 11.
