Need to make sure

Hi everybody and happy new year to all,
I would like to make sure that I understand well how Time Machine is working before starting on the wrong foot....
My question is regarding on iphoto.
SInce I shoot a LOT of pictures, my iphoto library becomes gigantic...
I thought using time machine on a regular basis to allow me emptying the iphoto library on the disk I would use as a source (the one on which I am working)
WOuld that be OK ?
In other words, would the saved files allow me to retrieve old pictures that I would not store on my HD ?
or did I all get it wrong ?....
Thanks a lot in advance
Ivan

NO! don't do it. TM is a backup tool, not a storage tool. a backup means a *second copy*, not the *only copy*. using it for storage is highly likely to result in loss of data. TM constantly thins past backups and it does so quietly and without any warning so any data you try to store that way may disappear just as quietly and without any warning. also, when the TM disk gets full TM starts deleting oldest backups to make room for new ones.
if you value your data at all you need to keep true backups. that means to have a second copy of everything. so get an external drive for storage. and another one for backups.
In other words, would the saved files allow me to retrieve old pictures that I would not store on my HD ?
or did I all get it wrong ?....
Thanks a lot in advance

  • HT4528 i need to make sure that my phone is completely priviate.  My sons father has an iphone also and they know my apple id and passowd.  Can they see all my stuff on my phone and can they connect to icloud

    I need to make sure that no one can see anything on my iphone.  My sons father knows my apple id and password and I am worried he is able to use icloud etc.  Please help

    They will be able to log into iCloud for your contacts. They will also be able to set up another iPhone with your Apple ID and look at photos stored on your photo stream and intercept iMessages as well as purchasing apps and charge them to your stored card.

    Yes, PSE versions 6 through 12 work in 10.9, although PSE 11 is a bit buggy. All other versions are fine, including PSE 12.

  • I need to make sure of some stuff before buying...

    Okay. Well. The main reason for me posting this topic is that I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro in a few weeks, and I was planning on buying a router to have my wireless internet, of course. However, with learning of the Airport Extreme, I was thinking buying this instead. However, I really need to know what I'm buying before doing so. I don't want to be disappointed in buying this.
    So, with that being said:
    1. With buying my mac, I will now have a computer to myself and so will my sister. We need to be able to be on the internet at the same time. She will be running a PC, a Windows XP, and I will have a MacBook Pro. I need to know if I will be able to run internet on both computers through the Airport Extreme Base Station and be able to ACCESS it at the same time. No interferences and such.
    2. I need to know if my internet WILL sync with this base station. I have a broadband connection right now, through Hughes Net. It has an Ethernet cable, but on the specifications of the Airport Extreme, it said that some ISPs may not sync with it. What can I do to make sure it'll work?
    3. With my Hughes Net, there is a thing that comes with it for everything to be plugged into. It has a few cables, the power cable, and then the ethernet cable. It is NOT router. But I dno't know what else to call it. Would I keep the ethernet cable in the back of this thing, and then plug it into the Airport Extreme Base Station, and then would it give internet to both computers?
    Please, I really need to know the answers to these questions before buying it. If you have anything else to add about the two computers with the internet, pleaseplease add. Thank you to anyone who replies.

    1. As long as you don't change anything in the Airport base station's configuration while it's in use it shouldn't be a problem. If you change anything configuration-wise it will need to reboot so anyone using it will lose connection for 20-30 seconds.
    2. Most ISPs will work, they would have to have a pretty strange setup to not work with Apple's base stations. I think they are just covering their butts in case of some really odd thing that keeps it from working.
    3. Your Cable/DLS modem (whichever you've got) is probably the box with everything plugged into it. You want to plug the ethernet cable coming out of it into the WAN port on your base station. It will either say WAN or some access points use an icon that is a bunch of lines arranged in a circular pattern (think of a typical children's drawing of a sun with the sun "beams" coming out as lines coming from the sun), whereas the Ethernet ports would be labeled as LAN or with an icon with two arrows. BTW when you plug the bas station into your Cable/DSL modem you'll want to power down the modem (just unplug the power from the wall) then plug in the base station with the base station turned on, then plug the modem back in. Sometimes these modems will "remember" the last device they were plugged into and will only work with that device until they get power cycled.

  • My iphone was stolen and now the find my iphone is disabled on it. i have personal infos on the apps and own music in the music app and i need to make sure they're secured or erased :((( carrier blocked the phone

    Help me please I want to make sure the thief couldn't open the phone and the apps and the music since it all carries personal information and are very important to me. How do I make sure the phone can no longer be used for anything?

    If the carrier blocked it, that just means the SIM card in it can't be used to make calls or access the data network.
    A 4 digit passcode can obviously be broken. How easily depends on the code you used and whether the thief knows anything about you. In all likelihood, the thief couldn't care less about your data. They want the phone, which has real monetary value.
    Next time, turn on Find my iPhone.

  • Firefix claims an update is available, and so I click to get it installed (I am running 5.0). I get a message that the install failed and that I need to make sure no other copies of FF are running on my computer. ??

    The bigger issue is that it tries to run the update every time I click on a URL (like from an email). And so it opens a window to locate a browser, then starts the update - which then crashes with the message about making sure no other copies of FF are running.

  • Working in a team on several computers, and need to make sure all subvi's are available

    I'm working on a team project, and we are using a Dropbox account to share the vi information.  We've had a few instances where one user writes a program, and then when another user accesses the work, they get hit with a bunch of "missing vi" errors.
    Instead of searching over and over again every time something new gets added, is there a way to have labview copy all the subvis a particular program is using into a single file.  I'm pretty sure the answer will be "create a library" but I'm not sure if that's the right path, and if so, how to do that semiatuomatically...
    Thanks!

    Fist let me add my vote for TortoiseSVN, or another version of source control. Dropbox is good for synchronization, but you can't rollback, log and merge with it.
    However, if you really just want a list of paths and project items, you can load all the project items and get their paths using VI scripting. I attached my version. Top level VI is check Project Paths. I use OpenG libraries , so you might need to modify, but what I basically did was:
    1. Get all project items
    2. Remove from array all items that are in vi.lib and in project folder (which I assume is your dropbox folder)
    3. Show all remaining VI paths
    4. Show caller for each VI
    See if this helps you.

  • Hey there. I am going to be working on storyboards and I need to make sure

    Hey there. I'm getting Flash CS4 very soon. I am going to be working on a project in which I'll need ...let me describe the feature.
    1) Import a bitmap (which is a storyboard picture)
    2) Place bitmaps into timeline (storyboards are put into the timeline)
    3) I need flash to update the bitmaps on the fly when they change on my hard drive.
    The storyboards will be in a format where there is only text at the bottom taken from the screenplay that tells what to draw. I need to piece them together, then as I get the storyboards from my employees I need to update them on my hard drive, and I need flash to update them within the movie project.
    Windows Movie Maker does this. When you import a picture, it updates that picture from the hard drive, so if you make a change to it it is automatically updated within your movie project.
    Does Flash CS4 have this feature? Also, technically, what would you call that feature?

    If you import an image, and then at a later time import the same image again, you can have it replace the old one.  When you try to import it, Flash will recognize it is a duplicate item by its name and give you the choice to replace the duplicate content or not.
    I don't know what the ultimtae goal of your Flash file will be (pardon my ignorance if you explained that earlier), but having a dynamic solution might be easier to manage.  You could just create the Flash file such that it reads an xml data file that has the images listed in the order they appear, and have your Flash file load those images and order them for display based on the order in the xml file.  That way you only have to update the xml file.
    If your plans involve creating many storyboards over time, you could possibly make a generic Flash file that when you run it, it prompts you for the xml filename to be used, and then executes loading all the images for whatever review purpose they are serving.... just thinking out loud.

  • HT2518 If I am transfering my files from pc to mac, do I need to make sure the appropriate programs are already installed on the mac before or after the migration?

    Just bought a Mac Book Pro w/Retina display.  Will be transfering all files from my pc to the mac.  Also will be installing Paralles and Windows 7 to run quickbooks.  At what point do I do the data migration?  Install the software that I need first and then copy the files?
    Any help on this would be appreciated!

    Install the software then migrate the files. Documents can't be opened without the software on the drive.
