What to backup if re-installing

For some reason all of the sudden Dreamweaver will not load.
It crashed on me in the middle of switching from one Site to
another and now during program launch it comes up with the windows
critical error dialog. (The that asks if you want to forward it in
to Microsoft). I have tried re-booting and I get the same thing.
So, I am going to try and re-install it but I do not want to
loose all of my extensions and site profiles. Can I install over
this or do I need to back these up? If so, what all do I need to
backup?
Thanks,
Houston

I dont know what to do i try install itunes and this keeps coming up "itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes error 7 (windows error 127)" what should i do?

i dont know what to do i try install itunes and this keeps coming up "itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes error 7 (windows error 127)" what should i do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Do I need to backup harddrives before install lion

Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro. I have tons of pictures and video, and 2 harddrives, i have some on external hard drive, but not current stuff, and wanting to upgrade to Lion. Please advise. I am sure most are going to say back up, back up. I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.

>Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro. \
That's a bit like asking, do I need to wear seatbelts? Seriously if you value your data, you need to backup your data, not just when installing Lion, but when installing anything, when making changes to your data, when renaming data. Backing up is not an option, it is a must in the computing world. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
>I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.
You could, in fact in one thread, someone backed up with Time Machine, and still lost pics because they didn't ensure their Time Machine had in fact backed up the pictures they wanted. A clone backup is the only backup that ensures everything is backed up. Anything can be lost in an upgrade too. See what I have to say about other Lion pitfalls:*

What is best practice for installing Yosemite

I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13. 2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite? Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
Thanks in advance.

Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).

What to backup in oracle XE instance

Hi,
I have installed oracle XE, enabled archivelog and made a succesfull backup (by using RMAN tool of oracle from start -->programs--> oracle--> backup database). Now i want to backup the "crucial data" to a second hard disk for increased redundancy. Questions
1. What files/folders do i need to copy?
2. Can i just copy / paste them to another hdd?
3. Do i have to shutdown oracle in order to have access to these files & folders? (For example i read somewhere that i should not manipulate contents of flash recovery area.)
many thanks in advance,
regards,
tn

Beigng that this is an Express db that may work but in general your friend is wrong. It is not the only way nor is it the best way when the database in question is production and you need to be able to forward recover after a failure.
You can copy the rman backup to tape via a third party just as you do the export. Every n time periods you should copy the archived redo logs to tape or to a network device separate from the database disk.
Now if you do not need to be able to forward recovery the database then a full export will work in place of a physical backup just fine.
It is the forward recovery requirements that determine what your backup strategy should be.

What is Backup doing?

I have about 45 appl installed on my white iPhone, 571 songs, 17 videos, and 63 photos. I am using about 8.6 GB.
The size of the backup folder on my hard drive is 289 MB. It contains 5036 files. (no, that is not a typo)
All of these files were created the same date, one after another, and so I have to believe that this is all part of one backup. iTunes swears I have only one backup available.
Five thousand files? ***?!?!? What is backup doing that it needs 5 thousand files? Is this why it's taking an hour or more?

Noy just apps, but apps, contacts, emails, text messages, settings. All of those get backed up. I don't know for sure, but what if each email and each contact was a seperate backed up file. It's easier to delete one file during a backup than change lots of data in a big file (delete a file containing a contact).
I don't know that each item is a seperate file, but it would account for the large number of files that are backed up

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

What should I do to install OS X Mavericks on a computer with OS X 10.6.8

What should I do to install OS X Mavericks on a computer with OS X 10.6.8

Firstly ensure you have full backup your can restore from - Time Machine or clone, in case you need to restore to the previous OS for any reason.
Make sure your computer meets the specs: https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although the tech specs say 2gb of RAM is required, user experience seems to indicate that at least 4gb is required for real-world use.
Be aware that any older PowerPC apps will not longer run as Mavericks (or Lion and Mountain Lion) don't support Rosetta, which enabled the ability. If you rely on any you may need to do lots of updates or replace some apps. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of compatibility of various apps:
http://roaringapps.com/apps
If you decide to upgrade download and install Mavericks from the Mac App Store (in the Apple menu). The installer is 5.3gb, so it's a large download. You may want to make a copy of it onto an 8gb USB stick or DVD as it could save you another big download in the future.
To do this quit the installer before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. (Once the download is complete you are prompted to click on the 'install' button - it's at this point you quit. The file is downloaded to your Applications folder as a file called 'Install OS X Mavericks').
Some people make a bootable disk of the installer - this can be easily done using Diskmaker X:

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? Graham

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo??

What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo? I have one of the first Intel MacBook Pro's with a Core Duo processer, I'm having hard drive problems so want to format it and re-install my OS. I can't find my Snow Leopard disk so the easiest thing to do would be to download Lion but I have been told that my MacBook needs to have a Core 2 Duo processer so I just wondered if anyone else has tried Lion on a MacBook like mine??

Nothing.
Lion will not run on a core duo, it needs a core 2 duo as a minimum
see Technical Specifications
Also you will need SL running to access the App Store to download Lion. So In a number of ways this won;t work.

Hi,
You need two cables, one is a sata cable:
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/StarTech-com-6in-SATA-to-Right-Angle-SATA-Serial-AT...
This cable is only for data and connects the hdd to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
The other cable is for power:
http://www.itpartsdirect.com/startech-15-24cm-4-pin-molex-to-sata-power-cable-adaptor.html
This connects the hdd to the PSU.
You can also buy a combo cable like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4
All you have to do now is to connect the hdd and that's it. Make sure that the primary drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are numbers 1, 2, 3..)
