  backup impossible ipod classic 160 GB in itunes

  The function of backup in iTunes is only for iOS devices, like the iPhone and the iPod touch.  There is no backup function for iPod Player (such as iPod classic).  All the songs (and other media) on your iPod should exist in your iTunes library, because it was synced to your iTunes library.  Your iTunes library is your iPod 'back up '.

  What you save is your iTunes library (on the computer), in the case of your computer (or player) fails.  Apple describes a way to backup your iTunes to complete on an external drive.

• Backup to one external hard drive to another

  Hoping someone can explain to me how to copy a backup of one hard external to another.  I managed to make a complete backup of the old iMac, my sister just before he died.  The backup is located on a WD My Passport for Mac and I would like to copy the backup to another external hard drive, maintaining the original on My Passport for Mac, just to keep safe in the event of failure of one of the external drives.  This backup contains the only copy of hundreds of pictures.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

• Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

  Hello

  Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

  If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

  1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

  2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

• Restore the backup to an external hard drive

  original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

  Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

  Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

  Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.

  I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  That suggests this error code is the problem and how can I solve the problem?

  For people who read this thread, I offer the following information.  I solved the problem by noticing that the problem could have been caused, when the system image is created.  So I did a backup without creating the system image and backup is complete without error.

  Then I used the backup program to create a system image.  This time error (0x8007045D) was displayed.   The error report says "the operation failed for a device error encountered with the source or the destination. If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then try again using. »

  So I ran chkdsk/r, and this program is a bad sector on the hard drive of my computer and fixed the error.  It took about an hour to run the program.  Now, the image of the system and the backup of data file work again.

  So I think that the main cause of error (0x8078012D) is deborahgarbe of i/o error (0x8007045D).  So if you get the first error code you can search for fixes for the second error code fix the root cause.

• Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

  Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

  I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

  I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

  I got two different types of error messages:

  ================================
  Error message:

  The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

  Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  Error message:
  
  There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

  Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

  ==============================

  What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  Hey, Ronna,.

  Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

  Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

  The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

  The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

  I hope this helps someone else.

• Time machine backup on my external drive...

  Hello

  I am doing this for the first time so I need some help here please.

  I have a 5 years, 250 GB Mac Book Pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I have NEVER done a Time Machine backup first.

  I have an external hard drive 1 TB, which has about 200 GB of data backed up from my Mac Book pro and other files.

  I want to upgrade to El Capitan and want to back up my book ALL of the mac pro.

  My question is, is the external drive with about 750 GB of sufficiently available to back up my entire Mac Book pro...?  Looks like it should be. The IMPORTANT question is, somehow will it delete my existing files in my external drive...? How can I make sure that this does not happen...?

  Separately, I have 2 accounts on my Mac Book Pro, when I back up my laptop using Time Machine, goes up two accounts...? ... Should I be logged into my main account so it backs up two accounts...? How that will work in a restaurant...?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Your best bet would be to clone your entire drive to another Partition on the hard drive, external, but repartitioning is not without risk.

  TM should work but is not ideal. TM backs up only the account your as I recall.

  Everything that you be sure to secure boot, now hold SHIFT key on startup to repair the startup disk, and then use Utilityto repair disk external hard disk.
