On my i pad mini what is the correct procedure to LOCK our IPAD MINI for automatic i cloud back up ?

on my i pad mini what is the correct procedure to LOCK our IPAD MINI for automatic i cloud back up ? I am never sure the back up is working. It checked the owner manual but did not find what I need. Can someone give mt the step by step "how to" help so That I know everything is completely backed up to i cloud
thank you

Are you plugging in every night, locking the iPad and connected to WiFi? Are you meeting all three requirements?
Well that is what I do and it works for me because I can see the next day that the new backup shows in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now. If you look at my screenshot - you will see that I experimented to make sure that it would work. I responded on July 3 at 12:24 PM when you posted. Then I locked the iPad, plugged it in and waited for about 30 minutes before I unlocked the iPad to see if it backed up. The screenshot shows the backup was completed at 12:44 PM on July 3.
I also backup with iTunes and I almost never auto backup. I just initate the back up on my own. But the instructions that I posted are right from the settings. You can read it for yourself in the screenshot.
You do have to wait for at least 24 hours before the next backup will take place, but if you are getting a message that you haven't backed up a week later, I can't explain that.
Dont trust that message. Look and see what the date of the last backup was. That's the only way to know for sure.

  • What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

    I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
    I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
    I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
    What is the correct procedure after that?

    If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
    Neville,
    So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
    Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
    Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
    Yes, I have a bootable clone,
    And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
    Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
    Good Luck

  • What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE

    What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE?
    We are a 3rd party application, that needs to collect and analyze the IPS events for a client.
    Currently the approach we are following is
    1) get a SubscriptionId using the URL below
    https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=open&events=evIdsAlert&force=yes
    This gets us a subscriptionId which is used in step 2
    2) Collect events from the url below
    https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?confirm=yes&action=get&subscriptionId=sub-sample&startTime=1362699903575432000
    a few more notes here are
    - starttime is current time in nanoseconds
    the peculiar problem here is that, even though we specify todays date, SDEE returns us the events from mid Feb (today is march 7)
    we did try a few combinations, but are out of ideas.
    any help or direction would be appreciated

    This is more an application issue than an IPS issue.

  • Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
    ... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

  • What is the best way to make an IPad mini safe for kids?

    I am looking to purchase an IPad Mini for my son who is 9years old. I am hoping to find out what settings or software I can employ to help make the internet safer for him. He would like to search his ideas and projects but i am concerned about what inappropriate things he may stumble upon. Any help?

    There are some restrictions you can make. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    See also the manual:
    https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    But, realistically, if you give your child access to the internet, they will, eventually stumble upon something you might find inappropriate. As with any tool that could potentially be dangerous but that you want your child to learn how to use, proper supervision is key.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the correct procedure to follow after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine Backup?

    Hi all,
    I did a Time Machine backup of my entire system (Time Machine Backup 1) before bringing my Macbook Pro to the Apple Store to to have it tested.   After the TM backup I wiped the laptop leaving only the OS (Mountain Lion) on it so that I could determine whether the problems with my system were hardware or software related. The computer passed all tests.
    After bringing my Macbook home I did a fresh intall of all the software and everything worked fine.  At this point I did another Time Machine backup (in the same location as the previous backup) so that if I ever had problems with my system I could revert to this working backup (Time Machine Backup 2.0).  I used my laptop without issue and created a number of new documents.  I did not transfer the documents from the previous time machine backup (Time Machine Backup 1).  As time progressed I did regular Time Machine backups (backups 2.1 etc.) installed a few new pieces of software and started having system issues again. 
    At that point I did another Time Machine backup (in the same location as the previous backups) (Time Machine Backup 3) so that my new documents would be safe.  At this point I could see all of my TM backups in finder.  Then I used Command + R while booting up and restored my system from what I thought was the clean backup (Time Machine Backup 2).  In fact it the TM backup I used was not the correct backup (It was one of the backups between 2.0 and 3 and I needed to go back further).  I was concerned, at this point, because I did not (and still do not) know what type of effect restoring the system from an old Time Machine backup would have on the Time Machine structure going forward  I was unsure whether doing so and having an "old" system backed up might break the structure so I stopped Time Machine from running a new backup. 
    When I attempted to look for one of the older versions of the Time Machine backups I discovered that there were no longer any listings for TM backups in their previous location.  In fact, the only thing I could see was one line in the place where the multiple backups were previously.  I took my laptop and NAS (where the TM backups were stored) to the Apple Store and the "genius" said something about the TM backup being "parsed"?  He also described it as a "broken window" and he "sees the broken glass but has no idea how it broke".  He also said "neither he nor anyone at Apple would be able to assist me" and that I'd have to go to a data recovery place.
    Fortunately I did use a second drive to backup the original system (Backup 1) but I really don't want to lose the files created ater Backup 2 / prior to Backup 3.
    Does anyone know what happened / how I can get my Time Machine backups back without forking out tons of cash?
    thanks

  • What is the correct procedure to install a TCS application not included in the initial installation?

    I can go through the installation procedure to the point when I've switched to the 2nd DVD. Setup resumes and a few seconds later states that no application was installed.
    I'm adding Captivate to my initial installation of FM9, Acrobat9 and Photoshop. I'm not uninstalling them first. Should I? Why?
    The initial installation was a year ago. The OS is Windows 7.
    TIA
    Douglas

    So you already have TCS2 but didn't install the full suite the first time around? So now you just want to add Captivate? I believe in that case you just select it off the list. The installer skips all the ones that you haven't selected and only does the one you have. I think Captivate is on the 2nd DVD (at least it was on the TCS2.5 upgrade one I got), so you may have to start with that one first.
      Yes, I just want to add Captivate. I've been successfully doing the  canonical installation (DVD1 > setup (autoplay wouldn't work due  according to the error message to a  Unicode error in the lang.dat file)  up to the switch to DVD2.
    As far as starting from DVD2 is concerned, there's no setup file on it  to launch. So that route is out.
    Another option (because some have reported issues with installing from DVD) is to copy the contents of both DVDs to a temp folder on your hard drive and start the install from there.
      Copying DVD2 to the HD might be a solution. Unless data is somehow  corrupted on DVD2, but in that case, why did the original installation  succeed?
    Thanks again for your prompt answers.
    Best regards,

  • What is the correct procedure for repairing permissions

    I am getting ready to upgrade to Tiger from Panther. I have used the disk utility to repair permissions after an upgrade or hardware addition. I have always done it using the disk utility and not from a boot up on the OS install dvd.
    Is there a difference? I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
    Thanks for any info!
    Ymir

    I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
    I assume you are referring to the log entries which contain "We are using special permissions..."
    If so, you can safely ignore those messages. They are purely informational. This is not indicative of a permissions problem.
    There is also no need to repair permissions while booted from the system DVD. Running it the way you are is fine, and you should only need to do it when you have a problem with your machine resulting from improperly set permissions.

  • What is the correct Procedure for all of this?

    I'm on a Mac with latest Mavericks OS  and Latest Aperture 3.5.1
    I moved around a lot of Projects and added to them and deleted some.
    I want to replace my Photo internal hard drive with a new one
    I want to replace my external hared drive that has my Vault on it that is now too small with a 1TB hard drive.
    I  haven't done anything with the library like restoring it and done nothing with the Vault since my current external hard drive is now too small. One big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
    I would also like to rename my Vault and Library since they have old dates in there name.
    Thank You

    One big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
    Have imported that folder to Aperture as referenced images? Then don't move the images in this folder using the Finder, but let Aperture relocate the original image files in this folder to your new drive.  Select all referenced images in Aperture in the browser and use the command "File > Relocate Originals" and select a destination folder on your new drive.
    See this manual page:  Working with Referenced Images
    To move the library itself, just drag it to the new drive and then double click the copy  to open it in Aperture.
    As to the vault - it is essentially an aperture library, but it might be easier to let Aperture create a new vault on a replacement drive, then to copy the vault over.

    You should be able to drop the GIGA files into your Sample Instruments folder in your user area (~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments). You can then instantiate the EXS24 on an instrument track and select your instrument from the menu. It will do the conversion to EXS format.

  • What is the correct procedure for moving iTunes Library on an iMac (or any Mac) from one location to another?

    I have an new iMac and a MacBook Air, both with 256GB solid state drives.  I don't want my iTunes Library to reside on the solid state drives so would appreciate knowing the step by step procedure for moving the iTunes Library from the solid state drive to my 1TB HD2.
    Many thanks,

    Niel,
    I appreciate your prompt assistance which worked fine.  However, I think Apple should take a tip from Dropbox and have a menu item for Moving the iTunes Library.

  • What's the correct procedure to upgrade from Lightroom 5.7 to Lightroom 6? My Creative Cloud app still reports Lightoom as being "Up to date"

    If I choose "Check for updates" from the Help menu within Lightroom 5.7 I get the message that an upgrade is indeed available. If I click the "Download" button from here I get sent to a web page with this message… "To update to the latest version of Lightroom for use with your Creative Cloud membership, please quit Lightroom, launch the Creative Cloud app, and click the "Install" button next to Lightroom 5" Well there is no "Install" button next to Lightroom 5 because Creative Cloud app reports that Lightroom is "Up to date"

    I don't know for sure, but I imagine it has to do with Adobe's method of gradually notifying people of the upgrade to keep their servers from getting flooded. If all the hundreds of thousands of accounts where constantly checking to see if new programs where available every minute of every day, that would be some serious overhead. They probably do something like "check once daily at midnight to see if new versions of PS, LR, IL, DW, etc are available and notify the user".
