OSX Tiger - can I create a backup CD?

Hi,
I bought my Intel Core 2 Duo MBP in January and have got some issues partitioning for bootcamp. I have tried to clone my HD to an external drive but because it's in NTFS it won't let me - therefore I decided to just backup my data and applications and do a reformat. However, I cannot find the little box with my system CDs in, can I create them in Mac OSX somehow or do I have to buy replacements?

You will have to obtain replacements by calling AppleCare.

  • Installed GoFlex 1.5 TB external drive on my iMac running OS X 10.7.4 and error says Time Machine can't create a backup folder.   Any solutions?

    Installed GoFlex 1.5 TB external drive on my iMac running OS X 10.7.4 and error says Time Machine can't create a backup folder.   Any solutions?

    Well, to unmount the drive, you can use the Terminal application.
    Start in Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
    When the Terminal window opens, type - without the quotes and with the space at the end - this:
    "diskutil unmount "
    Then drag the icon of the unmounted drive from the desktop into the Terminal window - the drive location will be added to the end of the command above.  It should look something like this:
    diskutil unmount /Volumes/volumename
    Then press enter (return).
    That should unmount the drive. Now you can try the Time Machine process again with perhaps a different interconnect cable for the GoFlex.

    What is the capacity of the flash drive?
    You might also be able to reinstall Lion without a flash drive, by booting up the computer holding the Command + R keys, and choosing Reinstall OS X.

  • Lion's Time Machine - Can't create a backup?

    Time Machine can't make a backup...  I even went ahead and wiped out the drive and tried to create a new backup.
    All it says is that it couldn't complete the backup and to try later as it might only be temporary.
    This is critical for me and a not at all light in importance.  Had I known this along all the other issues with Lion existed I wouldn't have upgraded.  For now I am keeping my MBP safe from Lion...
    I guess I just have to suffer the damage on my 27" IMAC..
    I would use a BR Disk to do a back up of my files, but NO....  MACs don't support Blu-Ray disk drives, STILL!!
    Apple you need to fix this and other issues.

    Apple's ingenuity in their advances can be hailed by millions as I myself give them credit where credit is due, such as devices like the  iPad and iPhone/iPod.  But when a company only bothers to alert you to a couple of apps that Lion can't run and moves them to a folder for the user to delete or update but leaves devices and other industry standard software packages rendered useless with no warning when they have extensively tested their OS against 3rd party manufactured devices and software, whom they are partnered with, then yes they can share in the blame just as Microsoft takes the blame for operating systems that do the same such as VISTA.
    I am sure that with enough time all of the 3rd party companies will undoubtedly get on board at some cost that will get pushed down to the end users.  They will either update, upgrade or conform.
    Apples mentality in the past hurt their stock prices, they used to only use their own Risc based processors and they refused to adapt and incorporate to the needs of their users desires for better faster chipsets and industry software such as Office.  They adapted!
    Refusing to incorporate the ability to use Blu-Ray technologies when companies such as Pioneer,LG, and Cyberlink are prepared to release the software for the Mac, Apple just has to give the go ahead, then yes, its their fault again.  The industry in general isn't blind, they have a reason.  Manufacturers want to create things that work with Apples Operating system and do, but they aren't allowed to release it without approval from Apple.  They need Apple's support and acceptance for something like Blu-Ray to make it.  Otherwise its just another hack and shunned by any cautious person that wants to make sure that their purchase won't cause them more problems than its worth. Blu-Ray is a matter of licensing and a major reason that Microsoft won't incorporate it into their own media player, but they leave it up to 3rd party software companies to absorb that cost and create their own players that can play back Blu-Ray movies within the Windows platform.   Apple wants to keep Blu-Ray off of their machines as they can't obtain an exclusive license to the codec for Blu-Ray movies for Quicktime.  The same mentality that they had before with their processors.  So even the ability to read and write to the medium is out of the question.

  • How can I create daily backups in separate folders?

    Fom iTunes, Edit | Preferences | Devices, I can see two different backups, one for today (the default where my iPhone always syncs and one done on 6/21/11 at 2:12 pm. I don't know how that one for 6/21 got created, separate from the default backup folder.
    I'm trying to figure out how make that happen again.
    Does anyone know how iTunes creates and dates backups and maintains multiple backups in the Backup Restore list?  I'm sure some steps I followed created a separate backup in the list. I need to be able to replicate those steps so I can create my own separate backups when I want (daily backups).
    I'm running iTunes 10.3.1.55 for Windows. My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 4.3.3
    Thanks for checking my post.

    LOL. Hey, the "More like this" section AFTER you post a question is more accurate and easier to find an answer to your question than SEARCHING the forum.  I found the answer to my question, which is, iTunes only creates and time stamp a backup and sets it apart when you upgrade the iOS. I upgraded to 4.3.3 on 6/21/11; there's my answer.  Reposting here, just in case someone actually knows how to search the forum and finds it without having to post a question.  LOL

  • Can't create iPhone backups anymore

    Hello,
    A while a go I disabled auto-backup using terminal by this command
    "com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true"
    Theoretically, to enable backups again I would just change it to false. BUT it didn't work!
    I get "-bash: com.apple.iTunes: command not found"
    _*What do I do now? How do I create backups again?*_ I have also tried using disablebackup.app but didn't work either.
    edit: I don't have "Back up" option when I right click on my iPhone in iTunes. It's gone.

    It's not a lazy solution - it's a workable one. And it doesn't take very long either.
    A risk of terminal hacks is precisely this - that they have unintended consequences. If this is an Apple approved process, then report a bug to Apple. If it isn't, then whoever provided it should have put the usual disclaimer in about using at your own risk.
    I don't mean to dump on you, but I just think that, rationally, an iTunes reinstall that fixes the issue is more attractive than a drawn-out search for a compensating hack

  • Can you create a backup of the app tabs for future importing?

    I'd like to be able to save a backup file of my app tabs, kind of like how you can with the Bookmarks. This way in the event I lose them, or reformat the computer, not only can I restore my bookmarks, but I would be able to restore my app tabs too.
    Thanks!

    App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

  • Time machine backup files gone and can't create new backup

    Last week I noticed on my Time Machine backup HD that the Backup.backupdb files were gone.  Also I am unable to complete backups any longer.  I get an error "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time Machine-2/walle.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."
    This Volume "Time Machine" is connected to an Airport Extreme 7.6.1. I have ejected the disk, disconnected all users, cycled the power on my computer (2.26Ghx MacBook running 10.7.5), Airport, and HD. All it does after I eject is that it give the Volume a new number...ie instead of "Time Machine" it becomes "Time Machine-1"...then "Time Machine-2" and repeates the error message with the new name.  So I cannot start a new backup because of the above error on top of not being able to find my old files.
    Thanks for the help

    Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
    I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
    Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
    I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
    I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
    Is it too late for that ?
    Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?
    TIA

  • How can I create a system backup in Solaris 10?

    Hello,
    sorry about my English.
    I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
    I've got a Solaris 10.
    Thank.
    Alejandro.

    If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
    On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

  • Can Anyone Tell Me Why Time Machine Won't Create A BackUp Folder for a Programed Backup?

    Does anyone know why my Time Machine is NOT creating a backup folder on and regular scheduled backup?  Just recently I downloaded the Time Machine Editor and it said to turn off the regular Time Machine (ON/OFF) switch, and just run off the TM Editor.  However, at 1am in the morning, it comes up with the error saying it can't create a Backup Folder.  I'm sure this is a simple solution but I really don't know how to handle this...  Would appreciate any and all help in this matter... Thanks, Gary

    Were you already backing up with Time Machine - ie, did you have an existing backup folder on the drive before you started using Time Machine Editor? If not, you probably need to do at least one full backup with TM, and then start using TME to schedule backups.

  • Create automatic backup?

    Is it possible to set Acrobat Pro 9.0 to create an automatic backup of whatever document you are working on? I don't mean "save". For example, in MS Word, I have my preferences set so that a document named Backup Document Name is automatically created as I work on the document, so in case there is a computer or application crash while using the document, the Backup Document is automatically saved.
    Does anything similar exist in Acrobat Pro?
    Thanks.

  • Mac OSX Tiger on a Pismo 400mhz

    Hi there,
    I am wondering if OSX Tiger can be installed on a Pismo.
    Today I wanted to do a test with it, using the installation disks of a friend of mine who has got Tiger too.
    It didn't work, the system said that it was not possible to install the software. On the actual CD it was written "For Powerbook 4" or something like that.
    I wonder if that CD could only work on a Powerbook 4 or something.
    Bear in mind that my Pismo is 400mhz fast and it has 256mb of memory. Looking at the Apple website, my configuration seams to be compatible with Tiger, but I am not too sure since I am a completely newby and I may have missed the meaning of something..
    Can anybody there help me? I'd love to understand what is the newest OS that I could possibly install on this Pismo.
    Many thanks.
    Pismo   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   400Mhz PPC

    Gerrit,
    Jaguar/10.2 will run fine with 192MB and 10GB HD. Apple recommends 128MB minimum for Jaguar and since your parents will be using the 'book probably for emailing and browsing, it should be fine. If you wish, adding a 512MB memory module in the top slot to replace the 128MB is easy and inexpensive.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SO512328/
    If you have not done so, update to the latest firmware while booted to 9.x.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75132
    After updating, check to make sure you still have 192MB of memory.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60839
    If one of your memory modules has been disabled, it can be re-enabled.

    Reduce the size of your 10.2 install by NOT installing all the printer drivers and foreign language translators. These are generally unnecessary and you can install them later if you wish. Then just download and install the printer driver for the printer they will be using. As you start the installer, look for a button near the bottom of each window that says 'Custom' or 'Options' (can't recall), then uncheck the two items I mentioned.
    Now download the MacOS X 10.2.8 Combo Update and install.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdatecombo10_28.html
    After installing 10.2.8, run Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility while booted to the HD.
    Next, run the Software Update and see what updates your 10.2.8 needs. I choose to download the items separately to my desktop, then install each separately and restarting when required.
    You can choose to leave 9.x on the HD or start fresh and erase; I always check the option to Install the MacOS9 HD Driver in Disk Utility on a dual-boot computer. It cannot be installed after erasing with Disk Utility and installing OSX.

  • How to create a backup of all workbooks

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me how can I create a backup of all workbooks in Oracle Discoverer Desktop without having to save them one at a time?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This is only available with Discoverer 10g. If you are still using 4i then you have to use the Discoverer Admin command line.
    There is no way to back up the workbooks using Discoverer desktop.

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
    Hope it helps,
