Apple stores data in multiple locations?

As I spend my life in iCloud (all my thousands of pictures and videos, music, etc.). I can't help but wonder how backed up it is. I'm the kind of person who is used to keep several hard drives to make sure that I don't lose my photos. If Apple does keep multiple copies of my data? Hypothetically if a datacenter in California was a fire or something, is there another copy of my data elsewhere? I'm more curious that whatever it is, I like the idea of not having to worry about losing my stuff and more, and I like having my stuff on all my devces the second I have create. Really, I plead for peace of mind when I format these drives with my old pictures on them

I can't exactly answer your question about data redundancy on data from Apple servers, but I can tell you that using iCloud for archiving your photos is not a good idea. iCloud is not an archival, it's a sharing service. Your photos come all icloud, but any action that take you on them from any device or computer that uses this library iCloud is essentially an action that is performed on this library. A lot of people is to remove photos from their phone without realizing what if will remove them from the library to iCloud.

So you can return to your original habit of creating a place of safe storage for your photos, like on the hard drive of your computer, or even a standalone player. You can also look into archiving services such as Dropbox and SugarSync Cloud.

Good luck

  • Indicator of waveform data dashboard with multiple locations

    I have a chart in waveform with multiple locations on my main VI running.

    I use the Application Dashboard data 2.2.1 on my Ipad to monitor table of wave shape of my running app.  I placed a marker on my Ipad and also related waveform with my waveform array variable.  I can't play my data dashboard application because it shows unable to connect to the server.  I noticed that it is because of multiple plots being plotted on my table of waveform.

    I could only play the App data dashboard when it is just a single parcel related to an indicator on the App.

    My question is if it's possible to have a graphical indicator of waveform on a data dashboard that has several plots being plotted and not only a single square, and how to configure it?

    Thank you.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    Hello Mac Fans,

    I need upgrade OS on a Mac Pro 2009 with current OS 10.5.8 to the latest possible version for this model. I don't have app from Apple Store in this version of the operating system.

    Data sheet:

    Model name: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)

    Processor: Dual-Core Intel Xeon

    Model name: Mac Pro

    Model identifier: MacPro1, 1

    Total number of cores: 4

    I should be grateful if you would help with the following two questions:

    • Do I need to purchase the snow leopard for $19.99 on their Web site and then move into the new OS version / new? Is there a way to avoid spending money on a platform that will only fill to the latest operating system for this iMac?
    • Settle El Capitan on this model of iMac result in slower operation of the operating system? My computer is too old for the El Capitan? If so which version should I update and where can I get if go?

    In addition, it's Mac was having once belonged to one of my friends. Do I need from the previous apple associated with this MAC ID for purchases in apple store?

    It seems to pay to use a vintage OS on an iMac vintage not knowing if it will work even ridiculous. I also own a MacBook Pro3, 1 (intel Core 2 Duo 2. 4 GHz, 4 GB) and I upgraded from the same version of the operating system: 10.5.8 directly in El Capitan and I didn't have to pay. I had however Apple Store that seems to make the software easier to access, but the operating system should be available for free download directly from Apple. I got the ElCapitan installer disk external and transferred to the Mac Pro, but the pop-up message advised that it was impossible to install this version. The difficulty in upgrading the operating system more old iMac is not just for Apple users.

    If you can, let me know what I can do to make the use of this machine.

    Peace

    1. unless you have another Mac, you do. This step can be skipped using target disk mode, installation thumbdrive or NetInstall (Mac OS X Server only), but doing so will probably need scrub or repartitioning the internal drive.

    2. the most recent OS because it is 10.7.5.

  • where can I find an email for the Apple Store? Carl

    Hello

    Where can I find an email for the Apple Store?

    Update was not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. There was an error in the [[Store. I don't want to lose my money, which is more than 100 euros.

    Help, please.

    Carl

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.

  • Why is my mail downloads enter this obscure chain of records?  / Library/containers/com. Apple.Mail/Data/Library/Mail downloads.

    I've had trouble finding my mail app downloads.  First of all, they won't in the 'Mail download' folder located in my Finder window.  Sometimes they are found in the "Downloads" folder  Other times, I can't immediately find their.  But if I search the name of the file, I noticed that my downloads in my mail application will in a download folder.  But this case is dark, buried somewhere deep in a series of folders.  Here is the chain of records for a recently downloaded file: downloads/F6320D5C-E169-47E8-9A09-00c408F1422D of tlynch/library/containers/com.apple.mail/data/library/mail.

  • New Macbook-keys stick. Not close to apple store

I saw that other people are having the same problem but the solution for them was to go to the apple store and have their computer out to be fixed.

    I understand that you have a new MacBook with a few sticky keys and you are not currently in the country where the computer was purchased.  If there is no Apple stores in your area there may be a service provider authorized Apple.  Click on the link to locate a.  A temporary solution would be to use a bluetooth keyboard, or a wired keyboard until you can return to the place where the computer was purchased for repair.
