IOS backup storage not on C: drive via Windows XP

Is it possible to store backup files of iOS-devices anywhere else but C: disk drive via Windows XP? I can't update my iOS-devices to iOS 5, because I don't have enough space on the C: drive and therefore I can't accomplish backup process.
Thanks.

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink(shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).

Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
It includes this display driver:
Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried the following, nothing worked:
a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
Thanks for your replies.

Any way around iOS backups being stored on C: drive?

I have an SSD I use for windows as a C drive which has about 10 gig free usually. I have iTunes set up to keep my library and such on another drive. The backups for my 64 gig iPad often fill the limited C drive space I have. For the life of me I can't imagine why Apple would be so sloppy as to have the backup location not be configurable. I want to keep a backup around but at this point I have to delete all of them because they quickly fill 7 or 8 gigs. Fom what I have read here and online even the mac version has the backup location non-configurable. Really baffling.

Time machine may be fantastic and all but i don't have an external hd besides my ps3 and a couple of flash drives. not really interested in using 80 gigs of my 80 gig ps3 for a backup. on windows there is an option for a restore pt. it allowed for a user to take the computer back to some previous pt in the computer's life where the virus you found wasn't there or the file you deleted is still available. all i want is a restore pt on my mac. thoughts? what are my options?
your ONLY option is an external drive. there are lots of backup tools in OS x but all of them need an external source to store the backups.

Mountain lion mac osx 10.8.3 time machine backups are not visible in time travel window. Why?

Time Machine shows that it's backing up every day. It recognizes my selected backup drive. The backups appear in that external drive.
However today I opened the Time Travel Window and it says, No Backups Available.
Whazzup?

Unmount and remount the drive. Same thing?

Ios 7 does not sync with itunes via WIFI

Since loading IOS 7 I am unable to sync to itunes over WFI. I must connect via usb to my computer.
I have the option sync with WIFI selected on itunes but it seems to make no difference.
Does anyone have any work around?

Are any of you using windows？ If you are, you will need to ensure that iTunes is “loading” with the correct wireless network。
Hence this may help you: （Windows Vista/7/8）
1) Ensure that iTunes is not running and that both your iPod/iPad and your P・C・ are connected to the same wireless network。
2) Now open Control Panel。
3) Now go to Network and Internet (Or straight to Network and Sharing Centre straight away in Icon View^^)
4) On the left hand side、in the 'margin' almost、 there is a button to go to “Change Adapter Settings”、 click on that。
5) Now you should see all active networks as icons。
6) The point here is、 if there are multiple active、 iTunes may load looking for the iPod/iPad on the wrong network、which seems to occur even for Bluetooth networks！So try disabling every network that isn't the network that both your P・C・and iPod/iPad are connected to （every step here is reversible、 if needs be）。 Now ensure the Bonjour Service is running in Services and start up iTunes。
This has helped my friend so far、but there may be other problems for other people、still、I hope this helps someone！（＾∇＾）I have no Mac solution、sorry (T ^ T)・

T420S does not initialize NIC driver via DOS Boot key

Hello,
I am trying to boot a T420S laptop via DOS. When the "net initialize" command is executed the driver never gets initialized. This is the first time I've encountered this problem. I have used my DOS boot key on previous lenovo models (T410, T400, T61, X300, T60, T43, T42).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FO

I am having the same problem, brand new shipment of T420s models, BIOS 1.24 (not even available on the drivers website), and none of my Netboot/Ghost boot tools work. I can get it to netboot to a TFTP server but it wont load my Ghost image (freezes as "transferring image file"), nor do my USB or CD Ghost boot tools work. I randomly got it to load off a Ghost CD once correctly, but after that, it loads and fails to intiailize the UNDI driver (as if PXE was turned off, which it isnt).
This is pretty frustrating since there are no newer BIOS revisions yet, and I cant image them for deployment...

Can not install device driver in Windows 8.1

I can not install driver of my webcam(Odyssey OD 202) windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)
The USB webcam is shown in Device manager.
When I attempt to update driver and search for it automatically it shows the following message.

Hi Atanu Barai,
There may be a compatibility issue between the Microsoft driver and the device . I agree with ZigZag ,you may need to download the driver from the manufacturer website .Please pay attention to the compatibility ability issue with the
Windows 8.1 when you try to download the driver.
If the issue persists, try to plug in the device with another USB port to have a check .To verify whether it is caused by the USB controller ,we can try to connect another USB device to have a check.
Meanwhile ,please check the Event Viewer for related information.
Best regards

ITunes will not sync with ipod when music is not on C drive in Windows 7

For years I have used various versions of windows and itunes, always having my data on a different drive that the system with no issues. I am currently using Windows 7 RC1 and generally finding it far better than Vista.
My problem is that although iTunes works fine as an installation (downloading songs, ripping CD’s etc), however when I try to sync either of my iPods they get ejected before the sync can take place.
iTunes and windows recognise the devices before the device tells me it can be disconnected so the intial communication is ok.
Having done the usual research there are other people with the same issue, and it seems to be specifically to do with the fact that the data is not on the same drive as the OS. I have confirmed this myself as I have a second machine that is also running Windows 7 RC1 but that only uses a single drive/partition, and this machine and install of itunes will sync with both ipods with no issue. Likewise a different vista machine has no problem syncing with the ipods.
So can anyone help solve this problem without having to move the music folder to the C drive?
I appreciate windows 7 is not officially released yet and that an official windows 7 compatible version of iTunes will probably fix the issue, so please add this to the list of bugs if I have to wait for the official release.
Thanks

IOS 8 Safari not working with sites using Windows Authentication (again)

A testbed of iPhones and iPads were updated to iOS 8 today. When trying to access intranet sites in our company that use Windows (IIS) Authentication, it challenges for the login and password 2 or 3 times, then nothing - just hangs. These sites work fine on iOS 7 devices - and worked on the same devices that were upgraded.
Windows Authentication was broken in iOS 7.0 also and not fixed until a later update. Why does this keep getting broken?

This was a thread that discussed this when it was broken in iOS 7.0...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5327078?start=0&tstart=0
I just tested with Chrome on the iPhone upgraded to iOS 8 and it works fine. It is Safari that is broken again.
Of course, Apple won't give us a way to make Chrome the default browser when links are clicked in emails, so it's not exactly a solution.

FolderBrowserDialog does not show network drives on Windows 8

Hi,
On Windows 8 when we use FolderBrowserDialog, the network drives are not displayed. It works fine if we run the same program on Windows 7. Do you know if it's a Windows 8 restriction?
Thanks.
Olivier

Hi,
Ok, i know how to reproduce:
- Create a Visual 2010 WinForms project targetting .NET 4
- Remove the "Application.Run(form);" line and replace it by: "new FolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog();"
- Add a manifest file specifying to run with elevated privileges:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
1. If you run this program on Windows 8 Entreprise 64-bit, the network drives are not displayed.
2. If you remove the <trustinfo> from the manifest file, then the network drives are displayed.
On Windows 7 there's no problem, it always works, this bug is specific to Windows 8. I have tried to apply the latest available updates for Windows 8, it has no effect.

System does not recognize USB drive after Windows 7 reinstall

Not wanting Windows 8.1, I decided to install Windows 7. I used Tuxboot to make a bootable USB stick drive to run GParted, which allowed me to repartition to the hard drive in NTFS, from which I was able to install my old copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from another USB stick drive. I fully understand that I need to load in a bunch of drivers, and I downloaded them and put them on yet another USB stick drive. The key here is that the BIOS properly recognizes when a bootable stick drive is attached.
So I am all ready to run the driver EXE files, but I need to somehow get those files onto the hard drive. However, in Windows, the USB stick drive is not recognized! And of course, the wireless modem is not recognized as well, so I am stuck as there is no way to get those driver EXE files onto the hard drive! I tried using Tuxboot to run FreeDOS & Clonezilla, but I couldn't seem to get the job done (in FreeDOS, there only seemed to be the A: & C: drives, corresponding to the OS & stick drive, without there being a drive corresponding to the hard drive.)
I don't know what to do!

Hi,
Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.

Existing time machine backup wont work when my drive is attached to my airport base station

I did a full time machine backup to my external hard drive via usb (for speed) and then connected the drive to my airport base station. I can see the drive and the backup folder, but time machine wont continue using that backup and just wants to start a new one! Is there anyway I can make the existing backup usable without having to do the whole lot via wifi! I've looked throught communities but had no luck as of yet!

You can't switch from local to network backups. See the blue box in #E2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
And, I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up to a USB drive on an Airport Exteme is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

Hi,
How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
a re-logon.
example
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name
You can find detailed information in the following link
