Where is the default hard drive location for an ipod backup?

Where is the default location on a Window hard drive for iPod backups?
Thanks!

Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • How do I password protect the external hard drive used for Time Machine backup

    Can anyone help me to put password protection on the external hard drive I use to Time Machine backup my iMac internal hard drive?  I use Snow Leopard 10.6

    I think that was FileVault 1.  Starting with Lion (10.7) Mac OS X uses FileVault 2, which is whole disk encryption.
    Based on complaints seen in these forums, I would say FileVault 2's only complaint has been when people forget their password/encryption key (it seems an encrypted disk does prevent anyone without the password from accessing the data, including the real owner).  Otherwise it does not seem to be causing any serious issues.  Your Mileage may vary and objects are closer than they appear in your side view mirror (standard disclaimer).  Of course this is all academic while you are using Snow Leopard (10.6).
    There are other whole disk encryption packages available, such as PGP Whole Disk Encryption, HOWEVER, I would not advise it for your Mac OS X boot disk, as it has been known to be a problem when you try to install operating system updates or upgrade to a new version.  NOTE:  I have not seen PGP Whole Disk Encryption discussed much, ever since FileVault 2 came along.

  • Does anyone know the maximum hard drive size for a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226)?

    I have a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226). Is there a limit to the sized hard drive that can be installed? If so, what is the largest hard drive I can put into it? I have a 500GB HD that I upgraded to from the 320 GB that was in it when I bought it. I'm now trying to install a 1 TB or 750 GB drive, but after cloning with 'Carbon Copy Cloner' and installing it, I get the "?-folder" flashing when I start up. I'm pretty confident in CCC because if I use it to clone to another 500GB HD, it works fine. The problem only occurs when I try to use larger drives. Is 500GB the largest HD I can use in this machine? If so, can anyone point me to a spec sheet so I can be sure the next Macbook I buy can be expanded to suit me.
    Thanks in advance.

    You said:  "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
    YES!  See the my old instructions below.  What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key.  Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots.  This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
    Ciao.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

    I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
    Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

    It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
    Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
    Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.
    I'll start you off..

    If yes,Which Prosumer or Semi-Pro Camcorder will you recommend?Really need your helps,maybe you are the one who are currently using it and feel happy with over all?!
    Hope to get some suggestion from you guys!!
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for tip David. I work at a middle school, we shoot a lot of district functions with three cameras then use the multiclip function of FCP. If I bought three of these cameras do you think they will work well in that environment? here is our workflow:
    1. Sync cameras with a clapper at the start of show.
    2. Import into FCP
    3. Mark inpoint at the sound of the clapper
    4. Create the multiclip sequence and edit
    We have done 50 or so shows like this with 14 year olds as the editors and the results are very nice. I would like to move to the hard drive based camera. Being in education we are on a tight budget. Think three of these camerass would work in this environment?
    Thanks so much for your expert advice.

  • What is the maximum hard drive height for installing two hard drives in the 2011 Mac Mini

    In a few months I'll be buying a Mac Mini. I want to upgrade the stock hard drive with a Seagate Momentus XT Solid state Hybrid Drive(720 RPM), which is 9.5 mm tall.
    I would like to add a second hard drive, a Seagate Constellation(7200 RPM), which has a "15mm z-height".
    I want to use those hard drives so I can have a speedy Mac Mini, but also have a great amount of storage(1.75 terabytes). My largest priority is storage space, but I also would like to use 7200 RPM hard drives as speed is also a priority.
    I would like to know if those two hard drives would both fit in the 2011 Mac Mini.
    And also, what does "Z-height" mean in regards to hard drives?

    9.5mm is the standard 2.5" drive height. This thread says one 15mm drive may fit, but recommends against a Seagate Constellation drive, due to the amount of power it draws.
    One option would be to add an external mini-stack, then storage space becomes a secondary concern. If you want speed, install an SSD for the operating system then put everything else on secondary storage. 

  • Which is the optimal hard drive configuration for Logic Pro ?

    hello people
    i would like to ask your advices about possible hard drive configurations for Logic Pro
    I have a Mac Pro and thinking to buy 4 x 500GB drives .
    there are several combinations in my mind to configure , but first of all i would like to ask which is the best for an optimal system for Logic Pro
    model 1 :
    1 stripe Raid 0 array drive for ''System'' (500+500 = 1000)
    1 stripe Raid 0 array drive for ''recording + sound banks'' (500 + 500 = 1000)
    which means to using 4 hard drives as 2 drives
    model 2 :
    1 stripe Raid 0 array drive for ''System'' (500+500 = 1000)
    1 Single drive for Sound banks (500)
    1 Single drive for Recording (500)
    which means to using 4 hard drives as 3 drives
    Or , it is more healthy to use the drives as single , without raid , stripe sets but with its own capacity instead of combining .
    and also if someone has an idea regarding to compare of Seagate and Westerndigital drives (which is the best for audio recording) , would be really helpfull
    I am kinda rookie for these subjects :/
    thanks in advance

    heelo blayzay
    thanks for the reply and assistance.
    1) how can i create a back up set for the 4th HD to be make back up of the 2nd and 3rd HD
    2) what about to make 1st HD for system and 2nd3rd4th (1.5TB) for audio recording, and an external drive for backups ?
    For the back ups , is there a special process for the backing up HD (internal or external) ? Or should i just need a Clone software to make the back up
    thank you again.

  • What is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2, what is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2

    Am wondering what is the maximum hard drive one can put into this computer. I think it's a 3TB but I read somewhere the drive needs a jumper to bring it back to 3mb level cache. Can anyone confirm these details please? I currently have a 320GB drive installed.

    Hi Robbie,
    I found no iMac 8,2, do you mean iMac 8,1 ???
    There is no practical limit to the size, the biggest ones made will work fine... assuming the all important SATA 3 Gb/s speed, WD drives use a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow it from 6 Gb/s to 3 Gb/s.
    Some drives do it automatically...

  • Hard Drive crashed. How do I retrieve my old iPhoto files from the external hard drive I had used to backup?

    My computer was logged in using my Apple ID.  I was out of town when my hard drive crashed, so my wife took it in to get replaced.  When doing so the person at the Apple store helping her had her create a new Apple ID to use with the computer.  Now, when I open time machine I don't see anything from before this hard drive crashed.  How do I get access to my old photos from iPhoto that should have been backed up on the external hard drive?

    Sorry I am unclear where the backup is located.. On a time capsule??
    Recovery of iphoto library you need to use pondini.

  • Where is the default Physical Storage Area for Photos?

    I can edit some photos by accessing them in the Catalog but when I want to access them directly, ie for email attachments using Windows Directory they are not physically there so I had to go back into CSE 7 Editor and resave it so I can access it.  Is there a PSE default location where these may exist?  The location path provided in PSE 7 is the Catalog but I realize that Catalog is not a physical location and of course they are not their.   Does PSE 7 have a means of displaying the physical location?  This problem only applies to a few photos not my major downloads from my camera.
    Thank you
    George.   

    The photos must be on your hard drive somewhere. In some installations, the default is the "My Pictures" folder, but that varies from operation system to operating system and is easily changed.
    If you select a photo in the Organizer and right-click on it and select Show Properties, it will show you the folder location of that photo. Don't bother doing that ... there's a better solution. Forget about what folder the photo is in ... when you want to access the photo for e-mailing or uploading, select the photo(s) in the PSE Organizer, and the File->Export->As New Files and have these photo(s) exported to a temporary location. From there, e-mail, or upload, or whatever, and when you are finished, you can delete these exported photos. As I said, for this to work, you don't need to know the actual location of the photos, you only need to know that temporary folder name.

  • IPhone 3GS not backing up to default hard drive location

    Hi
    I've just noticed that my iPhone 3GS has not backed up to %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup since November 2011. Whenever I connect the phone to my laptop, it appears to backup before syncing but I don't know where it's being saved. Right-clicking the iPhone in iTunes and selecting Restore from Backup... displays the backups from November 2011, plus the one 'created' when I connected the phone just now, but a new folder has not been created in the default location. I've searched the c:\ drive for all files and folders created today but no relevant items were retrieved.
    It doesn't sync over wifi for some reason, which is only a minor inconvenience for me and I only mention it now in case it could be a related issue.
    I read in another forum that the backup won't be stored locally if iCloud backup is enabled, but it isn't on my phone - the only setting enabled in this section is Find My iPhone, with iCloud Backup switched off in the Storage & Backup section.
    I've got two other users of iTunes on this machine so I would rather not uninstall/reinstall unless absolutely necessary. The phone is running iOS 6.1.3 and iTunes is v. 11.0.2.26 (although as I keep it up-to-date, it's been through several versions since the last successful backup).
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for that, not sure how I missed that article. Renaming the backup folders gives me a workaround whenever I decide I want to backup, which got me through a 3GS > 4S upgrade, but I haven't found the root cause yet. I'll update this question if I manage to figure it out.

  • Where is the default batch class stored for a material?

    Hi,
    when we execute tcode msc1n for a material/plant/storage location the default classification class is set to PACKAGING. I need to create a similar screen so need to find which tables store this info?
    I almost have it:
    kssk-objek = matnr
    returns 2 identical entries, except for CLINT (14 and 23)
    I know that kssk-clint = 23 is the one that is defaulting but I don't know how it makes this decision?
    Any ideas,
    Kroc.

    Thanks.
    But, don't I still face the same problem there......
    DATA:
    objects LIKE bapi_class_objects OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
    assigned_values LIKE bapi_object_values OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
    return LIKE bapireturn1.
    objects-object_key = '1234'.
    APPEND objects.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS'
         EXPORTING
              classtype             = '200'
              classnum              = 'PACKAGING_FILMS'
              key_date              = sy-datum
              langu_iso             = 'EN'
         IMPORTING
              return                = return
         TABLES
              object_classification = assigned_values
              class_objects         = objects
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS                = 0.
    I must tell the FM to use PACKAGING_FILMS? And then in the BAPI it does this search:
    SELECT * FROM klah INTO TABLE imp_exp_klah
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_class_klah        
    WHERE klart = lt_class_klah-klart        "200
       AND class = lt_class_klah-class.       "PACKAGING_FILMS
    So, I am still faced with the same question: how does the code know that PACKAGING_FILMS is the default entry?
    Thanks.

  • What is currently the best hard drive upgrade for 2009 white mac book? (within reason! ;-) ) looking at Seagate momentus 7200 320gb and momentus XT

    hello people of the Apple community.
    There seems to be a lot of threads regarding some similar issues. Some of the questions seem a few years old so I thought I'd post a new thread. I have a white 2009 macbook and I need to upgrade the hard drive to I think 320gb - cant afford any more. Im looking for a good 320gb fast-ish drive.
    A few questions arise as Im not 100% clued up with the terminology
    1) Is sata 300 of any benefit? how do i check what mine currently uses?
    2) Cache size and spindle speed: is 16mb the standard? and does 7200rpm drain the battery quicker? what do most people go for?
    3) Pleeeese someone recommend something good! The more you look the more numbers and options come available!
    Im looking at the Seagate momentus range .. Is the XT range of any benefit on my machine?
    Thanks, Jeremy

    If I may, it seems uneconomical to spend any amount of $$ to upgrade a "long in the tooth" Macbook. Instead, why not a huge (say 1 TB) external drive for $100.00? And move some of the files from the internal to the external. It will require some "house keeping" to decide what files go where, but this could free up a lot space on the internal, and therefore boost performance as well. And when the long in the tooth finally dies, you will still have the external.

Maybe you are looking for
