Make a backup

Today I suddenly wasn't able to login with my account to my iCal, Mail or Adress book services. I have other users that could but when I tried it said that it didn't accept my password. I've tried to reset it to another but it didn't do anything. Still wrong password.
Maybe you can't help me with whats causing this behaivor. *But how can I backup my calendar and adressbook on the server?* So I can create a new account and just import the old stuff. I only use the server for filesharing, calendar and adress book.
Thank your help..

Oh forgot. little correction, my iphone 3g is updated to ios 4.1 =)

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:

And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:

iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.
If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net). They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

How to make a backup without password

I have tried to create new backups, but every time as they are with a lock on. have deleted itunes on pc n without help. bought a new computer without help. my problem is that I have two girls who have switched phones, the mobile phone that owned the first desired content into the new. Now that it has acquired the old iphone ready and ruin the iphone and I wish to make a backup of it on the new iphone her but each time the backup is locked with a code. there is none of them have made some code!!!!!! only code code they have had is a code to open the phone. we have gone in between all the codes they have used but there is no acting. I've talked with apple suport on several occasions and they say that it is only making a backup without code.
So my question is how the **** do I do it?

You will have to delete ALL of your existing backups. Under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows), Devices, delet any and all backups that are listed. Connect your 3GS, right click in the device pane & select backup. You should be able to restore that backup to your iphone 4.

My iPhoto Library is on an EHD, I would like to make a backup on a second EHD

My iPhoto Library is stored on an Seagate 1TB external hard drive (which is also my Time Machine or automatic backup), not on my MacBook Air. That means that I always carry the external hard drive wherever I go to access my photos (and to keep backing up my documents). I travel quite a bit so just in case the Seagate stops working, I would like to make a backup of my iPhoto library on a second EHD to leave at home.
I have another Seagate 500GB which I used in the past on a wifi for my iPad, which also contains some photos straight from my camera (that means they did not get the 'iPhoto treatment' as I don't want to clog up the iPad through Airdrop).
There is still plenty of room on this Seagate 500GB (300GB free) for an extra iPhoto Library backup. It should be simple enough but so far I have been unable to understand how. Clear steps to how to do it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

To check how the drive is formatted, connect it and run Disk Utility (in your Utiilty folder). Click on the drive's icon. (You'll see to icons, the top one is the drive itself and will have a name including the manufacturere's name and a second one is indented. Click on the top on. Now look in the bottom right corner of the DU window. WHat you want to see is: Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
If you don't the drive should be repartitioned. Click on the partition tab, Click on Current & select 1 partiton, click on options and select GUID. That will erase the drive. Now Click on the indented icon, click on the erase tab and make sure you see MacOS Extended (Journaled) next to the Format label. If not, click on the popup menu and select it. Then erase. Now the disk is ready.
If it is formatted for Mac already, after mounting the drive select its icon and select Get Info from the File menu. Look at the very bottom of the long dialog box. You should see a list of permissions, your user name should be listed and your permissions should be Read & Write. Or there might be a checkmark next to a label called Ignore Ownership. That should be checkmarked.

How do I make a backup of an external disk?

I have an external disk that is formatted in Mac Extended Journal on which I keep movie files and photos.
I had some bad experiences in the past with my first MacBook Air (version 2.1) in which external drives kept getting erased without any good reason. I think it's due to the fact that I had to connect a USB cord to another computer when I had an external drive plugged into the MBA because the MBA could not power it on its own.
I thought it was due to a bad external drive and I took it to Samsung service center and complained that their drive was malfunctioning. I got a refund. But later on, I found that the same thing happened to another external drive and to a USB flash drive, so I realized that it had nothing to do with the external disks and something to do with the computer. I used the same drives that got erased on a newer MacBook Air (version 3.2) and I never had the sudden erasure problem.
Anyhow that's the background to why I want to make a clone of the external disks in my possession. If for some reason, the external disk gets suddenly erased, I would like a copy somewhere in safekeeping so that I do not lose all my movies.
How do I make a clone of an external disk?
I will be using a MacBook Air (3.2) for this task. It has two USB ports. Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this? Just choose a source disk (external disk I want to clone) and a destination disk (the external disk where I want it to be cloned to)?

Many backup utilities like Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper can be used to clone drives. They can also clone boot drive to make bootable clones. They use "smart" backups in that they only update what has been changed from the previous backup. That is what you need too since you intend to use USB which is not that fast.
With CCC you can set up a task to start the backup automatically when you plug the backup in and it mounts.
FWIW I use CCC to make daily backups of my disks (scheduled backups can be done by these utilities).

I'm about to upgrade to Lion on my Mac soon and would like to make a backup of all my bookmarks, passwords and other settings in firefox to be able to make a clean install of the new OS, how do I do that?

Well, Ihave a lot of passwords for different sites that Firefox keep track of so that I don't have to remember them all when I need to log in on these webpages. Also I have a lot of bookmarks. How do I make a backup of all of this data so that I can make a clean install of the new Lion, install Firefox 5 and then use this backup to return Firefox to the same level as before? Also, I want to be able to have a backup file of all this in case of a crash. Is this possible, and if not maybe a function for the future?

How can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open?

how can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open? I just wan't to make a backup to my pictures not my entire computer so how does Time Machine work on that?

you could also clone the drive or volume, or just some of the user folders. look for carbon copy cloner, then enable the "use checksum to insure file integrity."
you can have multiple iPhoto Library catalogues in different locations.
Continue to use TimeMachine and make sure it has 350% or more capacity than your system and data.

Do i have to delete all files on my external hard drive, to make a Backup of my Macbook?

Hi!
I Have a MacBook Pro, and i want to make a Backup of it (with help from Time Machine.)
- To a external hard drive, but, i have one little issue, and that is that i already have other files on that external hard drive, (from other computers..) but when a start up Time Machine, it want me to delete all thoose files, (which i wouldn't!)
So what can i do, if i want to make a backup of my mac, on a external hard drive, where there already are other files on which i don't want to delete?
Please respond quikly!
Thanks!
Magnus Ejlskov.

Magnus,
To add to Barney-15E's point, not only must the drive be formatted correctly, but the volume or partition being used for Time Machine (TM) must be used for TM and for TM only. You indicate that you want to store other files on this hard drive. That's fine. But those files should be stored in a separate partition and NOT the partition that will be mapped to TM. TM backs up incrementally. It will automatically delete the oldest back-ups as space is required for newer back-ups. Any files stored in the TM partition that are not stored anywhere else will, eventually, be deleted.

IMac with OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3 - and now i can't make a backup for iPhone 4s

I have bought an Iphone 4S and want to make a backup to get my old dates. But, my iMac has Version 10.5.8 - and doesn't allow me to install iTunes 11.1. which is requestet from the iphone to make the backup. What can I do??

If it's an Intel iMac, upgrade the computer to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8 and make the backup.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you can't back the device up to the computer but may be able to back it up to iCloud.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.
