Which is best way to do a back-up for the iPad , please.

Could someone let me know best way to do a backup for the iPad . I know one goes to iTunes , but other than this I dont know what to do once I get that far , as in which way , like backup to the iMac or another way it ask me to backup and now cant remember the other way.
Thank you

You can backup with iCloud or iTunes. You can also backup with both if you prefer.
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
I Prefer using iTunes but based on how you use your iPad, iCloud may be the better choice for you.
With iTunes, you have control over your backups. You are not relying on Apple servers, which could go down or be hacked. The chances are slimmanat will occur, but they still exist. You have to pay for iCloud storage if you want more than the 5GB of storage that you can get for free by using your own computer. and while the prices have come down, I see no reason to pay Apple for something that I can do with my own Mac.
On the other hand, if you use your iPad away from home a good bit of the time .... such as for work reasons, if you need to erase the device because of some problem that you are trying to fix, you can download your backup from iCloud after activating it again and don't need to have your Mac with you at all in order to do so.
Its really a choice that you have to make based on how you use your iPad and what your needs are.

  • What's the best way to pack a small website for the iPad?

    I have my little personal archive in HTML and images and a few audio & video clips. Let's say it is 10GB. I want to pack it into an App for offline viewing. Any suggestions? I'm will to do a lot of glue translation hacking to make something good.
    Or is there and glue format that can reference iPhoto images from a different app?
    Thanx for any input!  -jch

    If you're planning on doing some programming as part of that packing, then I'd head over to the developer forums with this question.  (If you're creating an app for iOS, then you have that access.)  Another option is one of the iOS-related mailing lists (maybe Cocoa-Dev).   And yes, APIs for accessing photos are available.
    A somewhat left-field option is the iBook Author tool.
    Or are you looking for an app that does this?

  • Best way to clean microfiber cloth used for the display?

    What is the best way to clean microfiber clothes used for the display?
    Thanks

    Hand washing works well, but can be tedious.
    If you decide to machine wash, make sure of a few things:
    - Use warm water
    - Do not wash with towels or undergarments. The microfiber cloth will pick up every bit of lint from them.
    - Wash it with similar color items.
    - Use regular soap, but don't use bleach or fabric softener. The bleach can damage the cloth (and the Apple cloth is black anyway, do you really want a spotted cloth?) and the fabric softener will reduce the effectiveness of the cloth.
    - Hang it up to dry or dry it on the lowest setting of your dryer. I am not certain about the Apple cleaning clothes, but other microfiber clothes have been known to actually melt in the dryer if it gets too hot.
    To hand wash:
    - Put the cloth in a bowl with a tight fitting lid, add a little soap. Either dish soap or laundry soap will work, you don't need much.
    - Close the lid tight & then shake the bowl hard for a few minutes. Find a 3 year old, they'll love to help do this.
    - Remove the cloth & rinse it well, making sure the water runs clear.
    - Air dry flat or throw it in the dryer at a low setting.

    what's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    Just charge it to 100%.
    Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

  • With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • What is the best way to compress longer HD videos for the web

    I am struggling with the best way to post HD, as well as SD videos to the web - Vimeo as well as YouTube sites.  Some of my files are up to an hour long, and above.
    I've tried mp4, H.264 compression, multi-pass, as well as ProRes in various settings.  The files are either too small or too large.  I have an stand-alone Flash encoder, but it seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
    My computer only has a Duo Core - its the first Intel processor. Is it too slow to process these large Video files?
    ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Peter

    as well as YouTube sites.  Some of my files are up to an hour long, and above.
    There are quite a few videos on YouTube that are up to 3 hours long.  If you are having issues uploading long YouTube movies, have you contacted their tech support?

  • Best way to start a new catalog for 2009 ?

    Hi,
    What's the best way to start a new catalog for the new year, with all the keywords and all the presets of the modules (without having to export all the folders) of previous catalog 2008 ?
    Thanks,
    Dominique

    Well there is a cost too in not being able to find all your images in a single step, and inconsistencies soon develop - eg a keyword is plural in one catalogue, singular in another. Speed or stability issues are not simply related to catalogue size, and I've seen decently-performing catalogues 50% bigger than yours (as well as slow ones of a few hundred images). Have you optimized the catalogue recently?
    But if you think it's a good idea to fragment control of your picture collection.... Presets will be carried over to a new catalogue as they belong to the machine (unless you have the save with catalogue preference turned on). Keywords can be moved via the Metadata > Export and Import Keywords command. If you have lots of collections and smart collections, then maybe make a copy of your existing catalogue and then remove all the items from it - making sure you don't trash them of course.

  • Which is best way to back an iMac?

    Which is best way to back an iMac? I have lots of photos and videos on my iMac TIme Capsule or hard drive. I would like to take photos and videos off my iMac but would easy access to them.

    CCC stores a "base image", then its incremental backups are stores in separate folders that you would have to search for specific files.  If different files were "last changed" on different days, you may have to search different days "incremental folders" to get all files.
    Because of this CCC is "managed" ... you cannot fully control how backups are made or where files are stored.  And TimeMachine eventually deletes "incremental folders" as they get too old, so it is "managed" as well.
    If you have full sets of files you want saved "as a specificslly formatted set", I would do it in another eternal drive that *I* manage as a set of folders.
    This is totally 100% incorrect. What you described here is more or less Time Machine, not CCC.  CCC is a standard backup program.  It does not, I repeat, NOT, create incremental dated backups.  While you can save what gets replaced by date archived directories that is not the intent of CCC.  It's intent is to have a exact disk image, folder-for-folder, file-for-file, of the source.  Under option it just stuffs the files it replaces in a folder.
    And you switch what your are taking about halfway through your post to TM.

  • Best way to insert millions of records into the table

    Hi,
    Performance point of view, I am looking for the suggestion to choose best way to insert millions of records into the table.
    Also guide me How to implement in easier way to make better performance.

    Its Distributed data. No. of clients and N no. of Transaction data fetching from the database based on the different conditions and insert into another transaction table which is like batch process.Sounds contradictory.
    If the source data is already in the database, it is centralised.
    In that case you ideally do not want the overhead of shipping that data to a client, the client processing it, and the client shipping the results back to the database to be stored (inserted).
    It is must faster and more scalable for the client to instruct the database (via a stored proc or package) what to do, and that code (running on the database) to process the data.
    For a stored proc, the same principle applies. It is faster for it to instruct the SQL engine what to do (via an INSERT..SELECT statement), then pulling the data from the SQL engine using a cursor fetch loop, and then pushing that data again to the SQL engine using an insert statement.
    An INSERT..SELECT can also be done as a direct path insert. This introduces some limitations, but is faster than a normal insert.
    If the data processing is too complex for an INSERT..SELECT, then pulling the data into PL/SQL, processing it there, and pushing it back into the database is the next best option. This should be done using bulk processing though in order to optimise the data transfer process between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.
    Other performance considerations are the constraints on the insert table, the triggers, the indexes and so on. Make sure that data integrity is guaranteed (e.g. via PKs and FKs), and optimal (e.g. FKs should be indexes on the referenced table). Using triggers - well, that may not be the best approach (like for exampling using a trigger to assign a sequence value when it can be faster done in the insert SQL itself). Personally, I avoid using triggers - I rather have that code residing in a PL/SQL API for manipulating data in that table.
    The type of table also plays a role. Make sure that the decision about the table structure, hashed, indexed, partitioned, etc, is the optimal one for the data structure that is to reside in that table.

  • Best way to fade out multiple tracks at the same level

    Is there a best way to fade out multiple tracks at the end of a song? I have read the manual and understand fading "A" track, but not if my song is ending and I want to fade out all tracks equally.
    I thought I could export the file as a wav or MP3 (like I would do if I was fading out an Apple loop), then bring it back in and fade the track I import it to, but wanted to know if anyone else had any tips or tricks they use.
    Thanks

  • HT4436 What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

    What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

    Here are three different methods >
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    This article > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    suggests using contacts groups.
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
    If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps.  Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

  • BEST WAY TO GET BOOKS FOR THE IPAD

    What is the best way to get books on my ipad ?? Do i use Ibooks or another site? Also do i use itunes cards or do i need ibooks cards ?? instead of a credit card.

    ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them, so if you buy an ebook from a site then you can generally only read them in that store's app / e-reader - so books bought from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app, books from Amazon in the Kindle app / e-reader etc.  As to which is best, then it depends on what books you want, who sells them and their prices, and whether they have an app for the iPad where you can read them. If you buy from Apple then you can use iTunes cards or your credit card.
