Make file backups while shooting tethered
I agree with others who have posted that LR needs to add the option of copying files to an external drive whens shooting tethered.
I use NIkon and the camera does not keep a copy in the camera when shooting tethered in LR.
Just makes so much obvious sense for LR to have a save as a copy option as files are brought in during tethered shooting. Why hasn't Adobe implemented this? It's been requested since LR 3, I believe.

How to view JPEG in Aperture while shooting tethered?
I'm shooting tethered on a D3x into Aperture 2.1.4 with OS 10.6.1
Camera is set to RAW+JPEG with the in-camera JPEG set to Monochrome.
I'd like to be able to see the Monochrome image on the screen as I'm shooting, but as you know, the only documented way to view the JPEG is to make a "New Version from Master JPEG"…..
Suggestions?no, there was no "?" displayed, all looks normal... but in just the develop screen it was a big grey blank, and 'folder could not be found".... in frustration last night i closed everything down and today simply re-booted the entire computer and my mystery is this morning i can see the jpeg..... i may never know what caused the glitch... is it therefore a good idea to re-boot the HD after making changes like adding LR5??? Does LR5 need that to properly interface with other files/folders on a HD?? it would help to know before i add LR to my ultrabook!! thanks so much for being available to all of us 'beginners'!!

How to keep Canon 5dMk2 "connected" while shooting tethered
Folks,
Is there a trick?
When I shoot tetherered LR3 loses contact with my camera (5Dmk2, but also 30D) way too quickly before shooting an image. Just fiddling with the props, set, lights, etc., is enough to lose contact. I have been turning the camera off and then back on but that's ridiculous. I want just leave that rig set to make me a full screen image upon testing (firing shutter) and holding that image as long as I need foe extended checking. When I set it for live view on the tethered laptop I want it to stay open, as I probably have the laptop plugged in.
What am I missing here in the way of a setting?
jonathan7007First, a caveat... I don't use tethered shooting much. Infact, it's been at least a year, but my last experience...
You generally lose connection when the camera auto-shuts off. So if you set the camera to not do that (external power? Menu setting?) then you shouldn't lose connection. But I don't remember if it's possible for that camera to be set to not auto shut off.. if not, set it for as long as you can. At least, that's what I remember! Sorry if I'm not more helpful!

Will new photos run in a slideshow displayed while shooting tethered?
basically the title says it all. I understand this functionality was included in Lightroom 4, but was dropped in the initial release of Lightroom 5. Did it make it back in during subsequent patches?
I have an update - I downloaded LR4 and what I wanted to do above works!
So I think there is a bug with LR5.
I'm new to Lightroom - this would be a barrier to me buying LR5. Might have to buy LR4 beforehand... -
I'd like to be able to send files to both the internal hard drive and an external hard drive as I'm shooting tethered in Lightroom. Can this be done and if so how? Thanks.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can only restore data to the drive where Time Machine backed up files from.
If you want to restore files from the Time Machine backup onto an external drive, your only option is to access to the Time Machine drive manually (open a Finder window and choose your Time Machine drive in the Finder sidebar), navigate through its folders and copy the files you want to the external drive -
Update wiped my libraries and didn't make a backup file, what now?
Using window 7 64bit
Ever since I moved to windows 7 itunes has given me nothing but problems. if I plugged in my ipod or iphone or any other USB device while itunes was open, the PC would either BOSD or completely lock up so you can't move the mouse, ctrlaltdel or anything. Because of this, it already wiped my phone once at the stage where the phone is rebooted during the update, I was thankfully able to restore a backup after a lot of work (which included downgrading itunes. it still freezes if anything is plugged in while itunes is open, but it let me restore and update the phone).
Because of that, I refused to update itunes for months. Today, I made the mistake of updating this POS software and guess what? It not only wiped my libraries, but it didn't make a backup I could restore to before it upgraded.
On the up side, it no longer crashes my PC if I attach or remove my phone with itunes open! Yay! but seeing as there are no library backups and it won't let me sync the **** thing because it's set to another library so it will only wipe it, making me lose all my important contacts & notes and apps and everything else, there's really no point to use itunes now, is there? I don't care about music libraries at this point, it's a huge hassle to redo it all, but if I can't sync my phone without losing everything I might as well just get another phone that doesn't put me through this every few months.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to get my files off my phone/transfer from the phone to the PC instead of doing a full wipe? itunes has to be the worst software I've ever used, and as a product analyst it's my job to work with really buggy software all day.Ever since I moved to windows 7 itunes has given me nothing but problems. if I plugged in my ipod or iphone or any other USB device while itunes was open, the PC would either BOSD or completely lock up so you can't move the mouse, ctrlaltdel or anything.
Let's start with trying to clear that one up.

Exclusive file access while doing backup?
Hello!
I am hosting a minecraft server on my old 900MhZ homeserver [it DOES run really well, arch is doing an amazing job ] and I made a little bash script to daily backup the current savegame, which I run via cron:
#!/bin/bash
MC_PATH="/home/tom/mc_bukkit/dasiro"
BKP_PATH=/home/tom/_backup
if [ -d "$MC_PATH" ]; then
filename=minecraftsave_`date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`.tar.xz
tar --create --xz --file $BKP_PATH/$filename $MC_PATH
find $BKP_PATH -name "minecraftsave*" -mtime +14 | xargs rm
fi
The problem is that most often it is run I get tar: ./mc_bukkit/dasiro/region/r.-1.0.mcr: file changed as we read it.
Is it possible to "lock" the file for a few seconds while the backup is run? Maybe there is a possibility... It is no problem if the server "freezes" for a few seconds. Thank you!
Last edited by cyberius (2011-05-14 08:03:03)Take a look at lvm and specifically lvmsnapshots.
If you have the files you wish to backup on a lvm partition, then you can create a lvm snapshot, which is a frozen snapshot of the partition. The original partition is untouched and goes about it's business. You can then mount the snapshot like any other filesystem and make a backup of it's contents. -
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. -
I want to upgrade my mac os 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 , will this erase all my files,apps,etc ? and will i loose the licence of microsoft office 2011, how to make a backup on a pendrive ? I have files of approx 180 gb , THANK YOU !!
Forget the Pendrive stategy...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com -
Hi, I'm stuck at step 9. I don't see my external harddrive when I want to save the DMG backup file. Can you please help me with this? I'm desperate to make this backup! Big thanx in advance!

How to make a backup of just files for Windows 7 bootable?
I know this is a longshot, but I was wondering if it's possible at all to make backups of a Windows 7 Boot Cam partition, of just the files, bootable in any way so that I can restore it back as a Boot Camp partition? I used Carbon Copy Cloner to backup Boot Camp, then removed the Boot Camp partition, before realizing that the backup that CCC made won't be bootable.
The creator of CCC gave a few suggestions in this thread, which I'll try out, but are there any ideas that I could try? Or is it really supremely difficult that it would be near impossible to make this backup work, and I'd be better off starting from scratch and moving files manually over? The problem wouldn't be moving documents for me, it'd be moving about 100 GB of installed apps.
So, any thoughts? I imagine that this has been asked before in this forum, but strangely could not find any relevant thread for the search queries I was using.You would have to do a Yahoo/Google search for that. There's a few out there. You might even try the Microsoft forums and see what they use.
They do it a couple of way's it seems, sector by sector or just file level. Bootable backup or just backup. It get's pretty geeky on the instructions so keep reading.
I'm in the same boat, I just haven't done the home work yet (or got the extra drive ). -
Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file
Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file?
Have you verified that the mill is using FAT12?
Do I understand correctly that the mill boots from the floppy - it has no other storage?
If that is the case, then the new disk needs to be in the correct format and set up as a boot disk, which will not happen automatically, and I'm not sure if you can do it with OS X. The instructions on this page should help.
If it is something you need to do a lot of, and have no access to an MS-DOS computer, you could consider installing the Parallels virtual machine software on your Mac, and setting up a virtual MS-DOS system. -
Would Doclet API helps while converting frame maker files to pdf files
Through Doclet API, can we convert frame maker (.fm) files to the PDF files ?
I have requirement that I need to convert bulk of frame maker files to the pdf files actually, while googling I came to know that Doclet may support.
If anyone has worked on this type of project, please help me.
Thanks a lot.Someswara wrote:

To produce PDF file using MIF doclet or from *fm files you still need Adobe FrameMaker. -
Please throw me a life-line: Problem with HP Recovery Manager's File backup option
Product: Pavilion g7-1070us notebook
Operating system: Window 7 64-bit
Problematic system: HP Recovery Manager (triggered by hitting F11), made by "Cyberlink"?
Error message:
The notebook crashed a few times before but I was able to restart it. Then it completely failed and simply displayed a blue-screen with blinking cursor (no error message). Hitting F8 failed to trigger the safe-mode. So I was forced to get into HP Recovery manager by F11. Before the system restore, I had to backup my personal files through the File backup option.
After scanning the computer for my slected file-types and finalizing the list of files to be backed up, it showed an error "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disk is connected" while entering the third step ("Where do you want to save the backup"). This happened even though I have both blank DVD in the DVD drive and USB stick in the USB drive. And the size of the file I was trying to back up is way below 1Gb, a fraction of the storage capacity of the DVD.
I ran the Diagnostic test in BIOS and passed both the "Primary Hard Disk self test" and the Memory test.
Brief description of the issue:
I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message). I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11.
I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore/Factory reset. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up.
These first two steps went smoothly, but at the thrid step whne it asked me "Where do you want to save the backup?",
suddenly an error message showed up saying e "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disckdrive is connected". But I have both a DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!
Can someone throw me a life-line here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!! Thanks a lot!You're very welcome.
If the hard drive and memory passed tests, then it is probably something else, but I can't say for sure.
If you can read the files using the kaspersky rescue disk then the disk is definitely fine and the recovery program is probably corrupt. If you cannot, then the disk may be wrecked.
I do not believe the recovery disks provide any opportunity for you to back up files.
Once you run the recovery disks, they wipe everything out, and rebuild the software image that came on your PC.

How i can make a backup without separate hdd?
How i can make a backup without seperate hdd?
how i can partition the hd? please step by step...
today it's my first apple-day ... i was 18 years windows user
While I agree with everyone else, get a second disk and backup to that disk, I will point you in the directory of partitioning.
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Disk Utility may or may not be able to carve a new partition out of your existing partition, depending on whether the end of the current partition is unused so the current partition can be reduced in size and a new partition added.
It may be necessary to use an external disk, clone your internal disk using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both free to use when creating a full clone), then partition your internal disk, and finally restore the external clone to the internal disk again using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you do not want to get a 2nd disk, then consider using an on-line service such as CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, etc... for the files you absolutely cannot aford to loose.
