Need Back-Up Advice

I am concerned about protecting all of my work, especially my muic recordings  done primarily through GarageBand.
I have a Time Capsule, which is both a back-up and airport router.
But if something would happen to my computer (iMac, specs below) and/or Time Capsule (both 3 years old), I could be out of luck. Tons of work could be lost.
Friend told me I should get an external hard drive. Just as another ensurance device.
Visited the Apple Store. Browsed around and am focusing on the following:
LaCie 2TB USB 3.0 Porsche Design P'9233 Desktop Hard Drive
Sophisticated desktop storage built for speed.
The LaCie Porsche Design P'9233 is more than just a place to store data – it’s a collaboration between some of the most renowned designers in the world and digital storage experts LaCie. Speed, design and technology are combined to create a external desktop hard drive that’s built for performance.
Designed for your Mac
Sophisticated Porsche Design aesthetic
USB 3.0 speed (USB 2.0 backwards compatible)
2 TB
Price: $139.95
Compatibility
Mac
OS X 10.5 or later
USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port
(By the way, don't know what the USBs 3.0 or 2.0 means. Is one a Firewire?)
My intent would be to use this as a back-up for just music and photo files. Don't want it backing up everything on my computer. Time Capsule does that.
Reiews are very good and the price is right.
Is this what I need?
Thoughts, suggestions, advice very much appreciated.
(Also posting this in GarageBand)

Yes, this drive will be fine for backup purposes.
USB 3 is faster than USB 2 ... but unless your Mac has USB 3 you won't see any benefit from having a USB 3 hard drive.   (btw, USB is not FireWire)
I would recommend these drives.  (Apple stores normally carry them.  You will need to check Apple for prices.  They are also available many other places including B&H PhotoVideo and Newegg - both are reputable online dealers).

One other note, please do not post the same question in multiple forums.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

    Go to the iTunes store on the phone and "buy" any free app. This should fix the problem.

  • Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.

    Hello Adviser /expert,
    Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.
    As now i m thinking to do SAP-PM certified course from authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
    So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
    My introduction (About myself): - I had done my Diploma in Mechanical and had total 09 years of experience in Mechanical Maintenance field that to in different manufacturing company such as Steel, Auto Ancillary & Cotton plant.
    Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
    Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
    Guide me
    Warm Regard
    Ravin

    Ravindra,
    SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
    your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
    you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
    but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

  • HT4946 hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    Hi,
    usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
    Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
    The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
    Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
    In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
    Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
    In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
    Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

  • Need an expert advice in Implementing continuous delivery across environments

    Hi All,
    I need an expert advice/solution in implementing continuous delivery in our project. (PF Screenshot)
    Deployment goes like this.. 
    Dev checks in -> TFS Builds - > RM Invokes -> using PS/DSC -> Copies the binaries to DIT environemnt's IIS virtual dir -> Manual replacement of Web.config files (since we have many environments)- > App runs
    PS/DSC does following things : Copies binaries using X copy , Uploads SP excel reports , Executing Dacpac scripts etc ..
    Now the chanllenge earlier faced was wrt Web.Config files was, for every DIT environment many configurations, conn strings would change. In order to overcome this , Implemented Web.config transformations( like Web.DIT1.Config .... Web.DIT6.config in my solution
    explorer. 
    Added a custom MSBuild script in my .csproj file and before triggerig the build defination I 'd change in Process tab- > Basic - > Configuration = DIT1 (based on requirement) and triggers . )
    It perfectly deploys to the DIT 1 without manually replacing WEb.config files. 
    1) Now the blocker for me, Can we achieve this without Web.config transformations ? Since I don't want to expose the sensitive date in config files is there any way to implementing the same ?
    2) I wanted to have continuous deployments from DIT to SIT and from SIT to UAT etc , How can we achevive the same ?
       I m planning to implement the same with web.config tokenizing in RM?
    Looking for some expert advice in achieving the same?
    Many Thanks ,
    Abraham Dhanyaraj

    HI Abraham,
    Instead of having web config transformations to set config values for each environment do the following.
    1. Have one transformation config say for example web.release.config which will contain tokens understood by RM (starting and ending with double underscore) for each config value.
    <log4net>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
    <file value="__log4netLogFile__" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
    </appender>
    </log4net>
    <ClientsSection>
    <Clients xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add Id="__ClientId1__" Secret="__SecretCode1__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl1__"></add>
    <add Id="__ClientId2__" Secret="__SecretCode2__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl2__"></add>
    </Clients>
    </ClientsSection>
    <appSettings xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add key="MinCaps" value="2" />
    <add key="MinSymbols" value="1" />
    <add key="MinNumerics" value="1" />
    <add key="MinLength" value="6" />
    <add key="MaxLength" value="" />
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="WebPortalName" value="__WebPortalName__" />
    <add key="TimeZoneFrom" value="Pacific Standard Time"/>
    <add key="TimeZoneTo" value="Mountain Standard Time"/>
    </appSettings>
    The TFS builds can generate output with above formatted configs with web config transformation.
    2. Then in RM server templates change the config files to have values depending on the environment. You can do this using a custom deployment component or default xcopy deployment component to set parameters.
    3. Then in the release template set the config values.
    Cheers!

    If you took pictures and then set up your phone using a back up from an old phone, you have erased the pictures. If you emailed or texted them to someone, you may be able to get them back that way.
    Best of luck.

  • Back-up advice/assistance needed

    hi, i have a titanium G4 with all indications of hard drive going bad and want to replace the HD. Meantime, tho i've read about Carbon Copy Cloner i'm still not clear just what the step-by-step should be as far as backing up everything before swapping out old HD for a new one.
    As it stands, the Ti-Book is so slow that i hesitate trying to boot from it as the 'master' machine. What's the best way to replace the drive and restore the contents from the HD going bad....I believe what i need to create is a bootable Clone of its HD onto a firewire drive. Meantime, the only way to conveniently access the TI-Book is via Target Mode from a
    healthy system. The Ti-Book is just running WAY too slow to boot into it - and the drive is making noise.
    Anybody have a suggestion on the best approach to take with this. I'm thinking that if i could do the backup and restore using Target Disk mode from a desktop as the "master" machine that would be the easiest for me to understand but
    need instruction on what the procedure would be for if i can do it that way...
    Thanks much for any thoughts on this one.
    Mike

    And once you get the two Macs connected in TDM, I strongly suggest that you forget about cloning the old hard drive. For one reason, if it's already malfunctioning, you may not have enough time to clone it completely before it fails altogether. For another, its directory may have been corrupted already, and if that's the case, a clone of it may be nonfunctional even if it is completed successfully (or appears to be).
    Instead of cloning, focus on drag-copying the most important data files from the problem hard drive (the Target) to the desktop Mac's (the Host's) hard drive. Never mind the OS, any applications that can easily be reinstalled from their original source CDs, and data that is already backed up. Concentrate on backing up your highest-priority data files first. Most of those will be in your Home folder inside the Users folder, by default.

  • External hd/back up advice needed

    I'd like to know how everyone is organizing and backing up their files.
    I have an early 2009 iMac with a partioned external for Time Machine plus a couple of almost full external drives. Except for Time Machine, nothing is redundant. It's basically a disorganized mess!

    Thanks for the reply. I can use the ibook to view the backup of the imac G5. I realise there is probably a long way of using the ibook to drag the info across to the new imac however I fear that may take some time (however considering how much time I have spent pondering this situation it would probably have been faster)!
    You'd have to check the memeo documentation or website, or contact the maker, to find the best way to restore memeo backups -- there aren't likely many folks in the Apple Time Machine forum who'll be familiar with that product.

  • Need Expert's Advice - How to use LabView Efficiently and to increase Readability

    My application is fairly complex. It is a real world testing applications that simultaneously controls 16 servo motors running various stress testing routines asynchronously and all at the same time. The application includes queues, state machines, sub VI's, dynamically launched VI's, subpanels, semaphores, XML files, ini files, global variables, shared variables, physical analog and digital interfaces and industrial networking. Just about every technique and trick that LabView 2010 has to offer and the kitchen sink as well.
    Still I am not happy with the productivity that LabVIEW 2010 has provided, nor the readability of my final product.
    Sometimes there are too many wires. Much of my state machines have a dozen or more wires just going from input to output, doing nothing, just because one or two states in the machine need that variable in some state. Yeah, I could spend alot of time bundling and unbundling and rebundling those values, but I don't think that would improve things much.
    We have had a long discussion about the use or misuse of Local variables in this forum and I don't want to repeat that here. I use them sparingly where I think it is relatively safe to do so. I also have a bug whenever I try and copy some code that contains one or more local variables. On Pasting the code with local variables, the result is something other than what I expected, I am not sure what. I have to undo the paste and rebuild the code one object at a time.
    I am also having trouble using trouble using Variable Property Nodes. When I cut and paste them, they often loose their reference object and I have to go back into the code and redo the Link To on each one. That wastes alot of time and effort.
    Creating subVIs is often not appropriate when the code makes many references to objects on the Front Panel. Some simple code will turn into a bunch of object references and dereferences which also tends to take alot of work to clean up and often does not help overall readability in many cases. I use subVIs when appropriate, but because of the interface overhead, not as often as I would like to. My application already has over 150 sub VIs.
    The LabView Clean Up Diagram function often works poorly. It leaves way too much empty space between objects, making my diagrams 3 to 4 24" screens wide. That is way too much and difficult to navigate effectively. The Clean Up function puts objects in strange places relative to other objects used nearby. It does a poor job routing wires and often makes deciphering diagrams more difficult rather than easier.
    My troubleshooting strategies don't work well for large diagrams and complex applications. The diagrams are so complex that execution highlighting may take 20 minutes for a single pass. Probes help, but breakpoint aren't of much use, because single stepping afterwards often takes you to somewhere else in the same diagram. I can't follow the logic well doing this.
    Using structures, I may have Case structures nested 5 to 10 levels deep inside some Event Structure inside a While Loop. Difficult to work with and not very readable.
    All and all, I can make it work, but I am not happy about the end result.
    I am hoping to benefit from some expert advice from those that are experienced in producing large complex applications efficiently, debugging efficiently and producing readable diagrams that they are proud of.
    Can anyone offer their advice on how best to use the LabView features to achieve these results in complex applications? I hope that you can help show me the light.

    I'm not an expert but I'm charged out as one at work.
    I am off today so I'll share some thoughts that may help or possibly inspire others to chime. I have tried to continually improve my code in those areas and would greatly welcome others sharing their approaches and insights.
    Note:
    I do refactoring services to help customers with this situation. What I will write does not represent what we do in a code review since our final delverable is a complete final design and that is beyond the scope of this reply.
    I'll comment on your points.

    In software, we plant our foot when we turn from the design to the development. I have to admit that there where a couple of times when I moved from design to development too early and found myself in a situation like you have described.
    How to know when design is done?
    Waterfall says "cross every 't' and dot every 'i' " while Agile says "code now worry about design latter" and Bottom-up "says "demo working why bother designing" (Please feel free to coment on these over-simplifications gang).
    My answer is not much more helpful for those new to LabVIEW. 
    My design work is done when my design diagrams are more complicated than the LabVIEW diagrm they describe.

    Have you posted any design documents you have? These will help greatly in letting us understand your application. More on diagrams latter.
    Anytime I see multiple "variations on a theme", I think LVOOP (LabVIEW OOP ) . I'll spare you the LVOOP sales pitch but will testify that once you get your first class cloned off and running as a sibling (or child) you'll appreciate how nice it is to be able to use LVOOP.
    Discalimer:
    If you don't already have an OOP frame of mind, the learning curve will be steep.

     Full disclaimer:
    I used to be of the same opinion and even used performance arguements to make my point. I have since, changed my mind.
    Let me illustrate (hopefully). This link (if it works for you, use lefthand pane to navigate hierachy) shows an app I wrote from about 10 years ago when I was in my early days of routing wires. Even the "Main" VI started to suffer from too many wires as this preview from that links shows.
    Clustering related data values using Type Definitions   is the first method I would would urge. This makes it easier to find the VIs that use the Type def via the browse relationships>>>callers. If I implement my code correctly, any problem I believe is associated with a particualr piece of data that is a Type def has to be in one of the VIs that use that type def therefore easier to maintain.
    When I wrote "related data" I am refering data normalization rules (which my wife knows and I picked-up from her and I claim no expertise in this area) where only values that are used together are grouped. E.G. Cluster named File contains "Path" and "Refnum" but not "PhaseOfMoon". This works out nicely with first creating sub-VI since all of the data related to file operations are right there whe I need it and it leads into the next concept ...
    When I look at a value in a shift register on the diagram taking up space that is only used in a small sub-set of states, I concider using an Action Engine . This moves the wire from the current diagram into the Action Engine (AE), and cleans up the diagram. The AE brings with it built-in protection so provided I keep all of the opearations related to the the Type def inside the AE I am protected when I start using multiple threads that need at that data (trust me, it may not make a difference now but end users are clever). So that extra wire is effective encapsualted and abstracted away from the diagram you are looking at.
    But I said earlier that I would not sell LVOOP so I'll show you what LVOOP based LV apps look like to contrast what I was doing ten years ago in that earlier link. This is what the top level VI looks like.
     And this is the Analysis mode of that app.
    I suspose I should not mention that LVOOP has wizards that automatically create the sub-VI (accessors) that bundle/unbundle the clusters, should I?
    Continuing...

    "Back in the day..." LV would not even try to create a sub-VI that involved controls/indicators. I use sub-VIs to maintain a common GUI often but I do it on purpose and when I find myself creating a sub-VI that involves a control/indicator, I hit ctrl-z immediately! 
    I figure a way around it (AE ?) and then do the sub-VI.
    Judging by your brief explanation and assuming you do a LVOOP implementation, I would estimate that app need 750-1500 VIs.

    THe clean-up works fine for how I use it. After throwing together "scratch code" and debugging the "rats nest" I'll hit clean-up as a first step. It guess good enough on simple digrams and in some cases inspires me to structure the diagram in a different way that I may not have thought about. If I don't like, ctrl-z.
    Good deisgn and modualr implementaion led to smaller diagrams that just don't need thrre screens.

    Smaller diagrams single step faster since the sub-VI run full speed. I cringe thinking about a 3-screen diagram with multiple probes open ( shivver!).

  • Need some Tech Advice -- Harddrive configuation

    I've searched the last week or so, just seeing what everyone else has asked, what others have suggested and/or done. So I've gotta ask a couple of questions myself.
    System Specs:
    G5 Quad Core 2.5Ghz
    8GB of RAM
    Pair of 500GB Hard Drives (currently two separate drives)
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500
    Dual 30" Displays
    There are 2 500GB drives in the computer, but the 2nd one is not being utilized currently. The boot/primary drive has less than 1GB available. System performance is sluggish. 2 applications that are being used are Photoshop CS2 and Aperture. All images are shot with a Canon 1Ds in RAW.
    I like the idea of RAID0 in regard to speed, but don't like the idea of no redundancy. This 500GB drive was filled up from February of this year, so hard drives get filled up quickly. What can anyone recommend for a means to increase capacity, performance and stability.
    Hardware RAID configuration? Software RAID configuration? External Enclosure? Based on what I've read here, hardware RAID, though more expensive, would be a better solution compared to SoftRAID. External enclosure would need to be FW800 vs. USB2.0.
    The thing I'm trying to stay away from would be a 1TB RAID0 and then another 1TB RAID0 as a means for backup.
    I currently have the 250GB drive that came with the computer, so I could set that drive back up as the boot drive, then take the pair of 500GB drives to store all the data. Just looking for the advice of the more experienced.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everyone's time.

    don,
    After posting this and searching further, I found this:
    http://www.caldigit.com/S2VRDuo.asp
    I am actully looking at CalDigit's SATA RAID too.
    This 2-bay RAID subsystem provides amazing functions that none of FireWire drive can compete. If it is at 150MB/s as they claimed, it is 2 times faster than FireWire 800 RAID.
    I also checked with B&H, the price of such GREAT SATA RAID with 4-port Mac Pro compatible SATA card is fairly inexpensive. (only 500+ bucks for 500GB)
    Or if you want to use firewire interface, your best bet is to get the new CalDigit FW800 dual bay array, FireWire VR, which is hot swapable and cooled by a nice quiet fan. This might be the best and give you most flexibility (can be upgraded to larger capacity if needed, supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD, same as their S2VR Duo):

  • Need external harddrive advice..

    .. I need advice for a good external harddrive. One with firewire 800 would be a plus, 160-250gb is what i am after. I've had bad luck with external harddrives in the past so i'm hoping someone can reccommend somethign that will last and hold up. Lacie? Western Digital? I dont know which way to go..

    I have used WD MyBook Pro (USB 2.0, FW 400 and 800 connectivity) 500 GB drives ..a pair for one year with zero problems and I just got a second pair. Set up was very easy.
    I also use OWC (Other World Computing) 160 GB portable external (powered off the FW port). I use this to back up my internal drive of my C2D without difficulty. Also very easy to use, and thus far robust and fast! It does not run very often and using SuperDuper, the drive is bootable in case my internal drive fails...but not has fast as the internal but fast enough for crises mode.
    Good luck.

  • In need of general advice.

    Hello, as a starving graphic designer I got drafted by a company. I have until early january to make them a huge catalogue(180-200 pages), I know my way around indesign, but I havent done anything as huge, I`ve done 10-+ page catalogues, and this thing kinda scares me, but I really need this job. So, any advice will be hugely appreciated. I will be doing page breakes, as they said, so any advice on that?

    If you post some information about how you're getting the content delivered to you (file format, structure, etc.) we can make some suggestion about how to best flow it into InDesign to make your job less hairy. Also,

    Here's a word you'll want to repeat over and over until it is burned into your dreams: STYLES. Use styles for EVERYTHING. Edit a style and the catalog will update, and trust me, some manager type will want to make some "minor" change like a font or adding a shadow to images, and then change his mind. Saving versions as you go along is a good idea, too. Sometimes much easier to go back to an earlier version than to make changes in what you have now.
    Another useful concept: Backup. Keep a backup copy on a safe external location, preferably not on a network server. Hopefully you won't need it, but we get posts here all the time about "I saved my file on Friday, and now it won't open. What do I do?" More often than not these are files stored on a network and they are a total loss.
    If the readership here was younger and more annoying, I'd just empty-quote Peter's post 10 times in a row.
