Macbook back up

Hi,
I am using CCC for back up without problems!Mackbook Core 2.
I have OSX 10.4.9 and I just bought Leopard.
I will wait installing it but I want to use Boot Camp for XP.
I know I will have to make a partition for that and all.
I am not sure how the back up process will work after that.
Do I have to use CCC for every partition separately? It will work for the whole "picture"?
Is there a back up program that can do the whole system at once?
I think I red something like this on the net for a while ago...
Thanks

I wouldn't think you can back up more than one partition. I'd suggest reinstall Windows after you've cloned and updated to Leopard. There are apps that will clone Windows partitions for mac...

I think to avoid problems though, especially with the introduction of a new OS, you should reinstall XP with Bootcamp via Leopard.

Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000 of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

Photos.
They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.
I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment) one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
How can I copy
the whole library still in "Events" to an external hard drive?
the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
Thanks

UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
Thanks, Sean.

HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

No audio in quicktime after getting MacBook back from Apple Store

Since getting my MacBook back from the shop (they claim it was a mechanical HD failure but it seems more likely the crash was caused by the 10.4.11 update), Quicktime movies play with video, but no sound. I've tried going into the MIDI Audio utility, but all I see is "Audio output not supported." The text is grey and I can't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

Take your computer back to the Apple Store so that your computer can be fixed properly.
When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop/Apple Store:
* Before you leave the repair shop/Apple Store, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.*

Macbook backs up with time machine to time capsule, imac won't

I'm going nuts, and have spent hours trying to fix this. My family moved from PCs to macs a couple of years ago- we've got three Macs having varying success backing up with time capsule. 1. Our macbook backs up with time machine to time capsule- it even backed up today. 2. Recently attempted to back up the imac for the first time- it starts backing up (maybe 3%) but stops and I end up getting an error message-it has never backed up- 3. The macbook pro has backed up many times but recently has not backed up. It gets the same error message as the imac when time machine is used to back up to time capsule. As an added treat, i attempted to backup the imac with time machine to an external hard drive, it began backing up, stopped and I got the same error message: "time machine error unable to complete backup an error occurred while copying files." Little help!

Yes, that message is not some of Apple's best work.
Most likely, there's a damaged/corrupted file that Time Machine is choking on. See #C3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If you're getting a different message from the Pro, see #C2.

Do you have the OS 10.6 disk? You can run Disk Utility from that disk and format and partition the new drive.
If you don't have the disk you can buy it from Apple for $20.00

Got my macbook back from Heasync Logic board and now...

I just got my macbook back after 11 days (and i have procare). I brought it in to apple to get fixed because i, like the rest of the macbook using population, was suffering from the random shutdowns... well, i picked it up today... the machine was screaming (as in good) it passed the AHT with flying colors before i left the store... well, i just got home and performed the QT and iTunes updates that i missed while it was at depot and after the required restart... a beautiful stream of colorful lines started dripping down my screen (its the logic board i know) I am not questioning what my current problem is... what my question to all of you who have received your macbooks back after having the MLB and Heatsink replaced....
How many of you have had your NEW logic boards go within a couple days of getting your machine back?

how does one reset the resolution?
system preferences>displays>Display tab
choose an alternate resolution, and then reset it back to the original, and restart the computer
i mention this because apparantly its a flaw in the logic board that is fixed by doing this, its helped others out (search a couple pages deep and youll find more talk about the lines on the screen)

Just got my MacBook back from 2nd repair

I just got my MacBook back today. It just had its 2nd logic board replacement because of the random shutdown issue.
When I picked up my computer, they also replaced the Top Case Housing and the Keyboard. Why would the replace this? Does the keyboard and top housing have anything to do with the random shutdown?
Anyways, I will see if my random shutdown comes back. I surely hope not.

Oh ok. I noticed the feel of it is a bit different
than before.
Another question. I have CoreDuoTemp opened, my
computer has been on for 30mins and it only shows
22-27C. Is this correct? Or is CoreDuoTemp
malfunctioning?
At 30mins, my MacBook was at least at 45C always.
It's an Intel processor design fault. I got this info from the Hardware Monitor developer.
Q: I have a Mac with an Intel Core Solo or Core Duo processor.
Sometimes, the temperature readings seems to "hang" and are no longer
being refreshed. Is this a problem with the application?
A: No, this problem is caused by an internal design flaw of current
versions of Intel Core processors. The Digital Thermal Sensors may
stop working when the processor returns from a C3/C4 power saving
state. Intel plans to correct this hardware bug for future steppings
of the CPU.
Intel refers to this hardware problem as Erratum AE18. For detailed
information, please see Intel document 30922204

How to reset my macbook back to factory settings with no install disk

So I purchased a 2009 White 2.26GHZ macbook on ebay. It came with just the macbook and charger, no disc. And when I opened it to start it up, it was the "new user" screen asking for my Apple ID, create admin ID, wifi network setup, and such. When I logged on it was the new Mountain Lion OS. (The previous had stated that he had upgraded) My question is, since I bought this used, I would like to wipe the hard drive before I really start using it because who knows what the person before me has done to it, (keylogger, tracker, etc) but how can I bring back Mountain Lion if I don't have any installation disc? And what about the fact that this computer probably originally came with Leppord since it was from 2009? If I restart will I have Leppord or Mountain Lion? Also, how the heck did the seller get to that "new user" setup screen for me when I turned it on??? The fact that I was like this leads me to believe that I must be able to do this... Wipe my 2009 macbook hard drive, and turn it on to a brand new Mountain Lion OS. I am brand new to macs, and am looking forward to using this but I just want to make sure that I'm starting fresh!

Legally the Mountain Lion installation is actually tied to the person who purchased it and put it on the MacBook. He/she should have removed it before sale as well as provided you with the original disks.
Your best bet now, if you cannot get the original disk from your seller, is to contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page, they can send your the original disks that came with the computer for a minimal fee.
If you want to bring the computer's OS up to Mountain Lion, you can then purchase Snow Leopard from Apple online and install it, then go to the Mac app store and get Mountain Lion there.
Best of luck.

I got my macbook back from apple store and now it wont start

I took my macbook to the Apple store to get keyboard replaced. Now, I can't get it to boot up past the Apple screen with the spinning dial beneath it. I there anything I can do at home or should I take it back? More importantly, is this a fix I'm going to have to pay for because my computer is no longer covered by warranty?

HI. Try botting up your Macbook using the install disk (insert the install disc and press C). On the menu bar, click on disk utility and try repairing the disk and disk permissions.

I reset my macbook back to factory and now I am missing apps. Where is it and can I get it back

I downloaded something and it messed up my laptop. Like for example ads would pop up everywhere if I would shop online. So i decided to reset back to factory to start fresh. I followed apple's instructions and now that everything is better, I don't have iPhoto, pages, keynote, and more! Where did it they go? I need them! How can they disappear by just reseting my macbook! Please help!

None of those are part of OS X which is all you have installed. You will need to re-download them from the App Store via your Purchases page. You might have been fine by making a backup first or finding out what is installed as part of OS X. Neither iLife nor iWork are part of OS X.

Got my MacBook back today- on hold now with AppleCare

My MacBook first shut down on August 7th and was pretty much unusable by the 14th. I sent it in for repair a couple of weeks later, hoping a fix would be developed in the meantime. FINALLY got it back today, with a new heatsink and LB, as well as new bezel and top case. Keyboard is more springy, I think (it's been so long, who can remember?). No RSD since I got it back (phew!), but the bezel on either side of the isight camera is now TOTALLY MAJORLY WARPED. This is not subtle; you can see it from across the room. How can they let this kind of stuff leave their shop??? I don't get it. I was planning to get a Macbook for both of my sons but I am really put off by this whole experience and I think it will be quite a while before I buy another Mac.
macbook 1.83Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) now it's got a warped bezel

Thanks for the suggestion; I understand what you are saying but I would like to think that someone actually LOOKS AT the machines before shipping them out as repaired. I don't think it reasonable to depend on a local store to fix the depot's mess-ups as a regular practice. There is no way the person doing this repair did not notice that something was seriously wrong.

Storing a MacBook back up on an iMac???

Hi,
I've been using a small external drive as a Time Machine to hold a back up of a MacBook from before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.
I want to keep this back up but need the external drive for something else.
I thought I could copy the back up folder to my iMac but whenever I try to copy it my computer wants my password because "FINDER WANTS TO MAKE CHANGES".
Is it okay to proceed? Will copying the back up affect my iMac?
Cheers

Cool.
Thanks Kappy.

I want to buy the new macbook pro, I was wondering if I can sell my macbook back to apple?

I am interested in getting the new macbook pro, but I have a white macbook since 2007. Can I sell it back to Apple? And if so, where do I go to see how much I would get for it and if I can?
Thank you!

Apple does have a Reuse and Recycling Program. They may offer you an Apple store gift card in return for your computer, but the amount is likely to be much smaller than you could get by selling it on your own. I have had success with selling older Macs on CraigsList.
Best of luck.

Just got the os x snow leopard, trying to set MacBook back to factory setting

Just got the OS X snow leopard disc.
When I install it I want to clear everything off my MacBook and reset it back to factory settings. How do I do this?

Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See What to do with iCloud before selling your computer.
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
              on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.
