• My external hard drive (Time Machine) has not been saved for a month.

  A month ago I left town for a week. After coming back, I noticed my icon time machine backup constantly Menu bar, but I paid no attention until three days when he tried to save in vain, I noticed. I tried to disconnect and reconnect my external hard drive, but it still does not work. Nothing has really changed any other times where I was out of town and time machines worked perfectly well. The only thought I have, which could prevent the machine from time to work, is that I've been reluctant to do the software update. I heard terrible things about the captain, especially when it comes to iPhoto, and iPhoto is my main thing on my computer... so I had voluntarily decided to not update. Do you think that this is what is causing the problem? Thank you very much.

  You him have not said if you did all troubleshooting. Tell us what troubleshooting have you tried, and then we can give you an idea.

  Furthermore, El Capitan is very stable. However, you should not pass until your system is stable.

• External hard drive - Time Machine

  Hello.  I've been using Time Machine to backup my Mac Book Air on an external hard drive.  I have the latest OS - El Capitan 10.11.  Last night, I had to wipe my hard drive clean due to a third-party program of non-working that prevented me to connect to the network from my job.  I reinstalled the program today and I was able to enter the network from my job, but I am unable to restore all backups of my external hard drive on my laptop.  Time Machine does not give me the option to view all the backups that I know are there, although I can see the backups when I use Finder to view the external player.  I don't want to do a full restore, because I don't want to restore the third-party program of non-working.  I'm mainly interested in restoring my personal files and iPhoto iMovie.  Help, please!

  It is clear to me, what is the problem, but I bet the answer is here:

  Change the hard drive on systems not prompt swap you for activation but after that the HDD on another system if the operating system is validated activation would be asked that the physical address of machines would have changed.

• Backup Time Machine put on for the question of the judgment

  I use time machine - mac pro to 2008 - 1 TB drive with its own power supply - 500 GB of backups.

  Have had a few teething problems that don't seem to point to any problem-

  Before stopping - if I just saved all the files - I always ask a time machine backup.

  If I was just on the internet - I'm just asking for a backup...

  Anyway I've asked immediately rather than wait a minute--but with problems at startup - decided to wait for the minute - about 15 seconds in the time-out has heard that the drive reports the time machine was starting a backup, so I canceled the stop & waited until the backup is complete.

  So the question is if a time machine backup was cut by a stop - is there a point where it would cause problems with the next on power.

  (I noticed that on a power which had a problem - time Annex machine backup was for the same time that commissioning - and I had stop watch at the same time I started up the next day)

  Issues of time machine were related to my problems with Finder/Spotlight.

  I put the drive time machine in the private domain of Spotlight.

  A ran a disk check - no problem

  Went into the preferences of time machine and instead of just turn on--changed the drive -.

  time machine turned on

  forced a return to the top

  Entered time machine - deleted the backups of an IPHOTO library which had damaged (had deleted from the hard drive)

  Time Machine works fine

  It looks like nothing is everything

• Failed hard drive, HELP! I want my data of user account

  My hard drive failed last Saturday (September 3) and local repair technicians told me it was a critical failure because she refuses to boot into Windows no matter what. The drive itself ran Windows XP Pro (SP3) and was in perfect health until this random failure.

  I can still read its data if I connect to another computer and treat it like a disc Add on, so I took the oppritunity back up all my data and program installers who have survived in a temporary folder on the other computer. The only thing I want now is my data of user such as custom settings account, that I had.

  Where Windows stores my custom settings of data of the real of the user (desktop theme, desktop wallpaper settings, settings of the record, things like that)? So I can upgrade to Windows 7, I want to be able to migrate the information from my account in XP as well, but obviously I can't do the normal with the Windows easy transfer program track if I can't get my boot drive in Windows.

  I finally got all the stuff I needed to get my computer running under W7. I also transferred what data I could off the old drive as an external slave coast. So I got what I needed.

  It turns out that files AND Windows 7 itself modern motherboard BIOS seems smart enough to identify a failing hard drive. They both harassed me that he is basically junk and I have to back up what I have on this matter as soon as POSSIBLE. That and I certainly couldn't coax the wrong disc when starting windows. However, I copied what I needed. So I can't fix it or use it further.

• Help! Time Machine has deleted my external hard drive iPhotos to make room for backups. I lost my birth iPhotos and the first 2 years of my baby!

  I'm next to me, I hope that there is a way to get back them.

  I was told my someone from tech apple to my iPhotos on an external hard disk to make more space on my MacBook Air, which seemed to work fine. We also have this same external hard drive my Time Machine.

  I noticed a small box from time to time come and say something like, Time Machine is running out of space to record new data, you want to delete things until March 2013 etc. He asked me a few times and I said yes, all the way until June 2014. Now just disappeared in my iPhotos to find some pictures of my daughter when she was a baby (in 2012) and there is nothing there before 2014. I'm completely panic, is there something I can do?

  Thank you, Kate

  PS

  This is the first time I've posted here, this is the right place to ask this question?

  Can specify you:

  You have time machine back ups and an iPhoto library on the same application - no time machine back ups of the library?

• XPS L501X failed HARD drive - need copy of Win 7 for new installation

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the laptop for my nephew who is out of warranty.  I replaced the HARD drive.  The original one would not load the OS and was identified by an on-board diagnostics as the defective HARD drive.  I tried to get a copy of Win 7, but because it's out of warranty assistance automated on the Dell Web site I cannot download a Windows 7 image.  All useful suggestions please.

  Hey Rishi

  Before you receive your answer, I came across an answer to someone who has encountered a similar problem.  The advice they received were trying to restore the default settings in the BIOS.  I did and it allowed me to access the HARD disk again.  At the time where I got the recovery for my own laptop (a Dell Inspiron) disc, in DVD of XPS reader.  This enabled me to reload Windows 7 on the laptop XPS, probably only because the HARD drive is no longer was considered defective by the BIOS and the relevant files / drivers to access.

  As a precaution, I used the installation backup Dell to save different data files before migrating to the HARD drive in the set of an SSD, I was installing.  Unfortunately, the backup did not work as I hope and proved to be useless to retrieve the data as different files in the backup lacked.  I assume that this is because the HARD drive is faulty (even though I have not checked since I was the system working again, after spending more time than expected as the whole.)  I used the information provided to prepare a Win7 disc should be necessary in the future, thank you.

• Can I partition my drive Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Is it possible to partition a hard drive and use it with Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Example: I want to save internal drive of my iMac and my external storage drive, and I wonder if I can partition a hard drive for use with Time Machine, in order to safeguard my internal drive on one partition and the external drive to another partition. Hope that makes sense.

  Yes, if it's not a time Capsule, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use readers separated for each device you want to back up. If you put all one hard drive and this player goes down, then you have lost all your backups. With separate if backup fails a drive you will always have backups remaining intact.

• Noisy hard drive, dying machine?

  I have an Acer Aspire one running Xp fully updated OS, I was and IExplore user version 8.0.6001.18702 with a chrome plug. Adding Chrome and Foxfire as backup browsers...

  Did dfrag and clean

  Virus/firewall used is Zone Alarm free version. Real-time running Active scanner.

  Used DirectX diagnosis only tool through all the steps, test all the options... no problem.

  Used the latest version of Microsoft Safety Scanner. No Malware or viruses found.

  The machine is connected wireless to a Brother printer and internet gateway. Often connected via USB for scanner canon, canoscan (LIDE), an external hard drive WD, where most of the data is stored, rollerball, key board ms Gigaware, several flashdrives, speakers connected to the intake earphonr.

  Hard drive was silent all by writing this, it tends to be noisy, the more I do, sometimes... it happened about a month since the last event to long-term noise issues.

  I used the heavy machine... Games Facebook, some in iE8, some at Foxfire, some in Chrome... I find more ready feature in iE8 then others... I keep the plugin for a minimon overall, and are quickly when the drive is quiet, the sound slows down all operations. During the noise I shot on YouTube and other videos online... player favorite is Windows Media Player, Realplayer and Quicktime as back ups. I have a "Deskmate" character that works most of the time, the program is no longer supported, but it runs well, I have stopped during the events of noise.

  Noise came as soon as I opened a folder to a rtf of the... saved report and closed... noise stops...

  I think the hard drive of the machine will die... in how long?

  As he does, I would like to replace the hard drive and reinstall the OS do not know how this machine would work with the current version of Windows, there are general specifications on the Acer Aspire One, a person who knows '8' well, perhaps a person MS can comment on the wheather * can handle the specifications of my One AA... I will continue to use the machine as long as I can... I don't want to get a new machine of graphics with all the bells a whisles, but like to keep a usable machine work.

  Anything else I can check on this machine... with adding them scareware?

  As its name suggests, a 'clone disk' is an exact copy of the original disc.  Everything is copied, including including all files in Windows operating system.  A clone operation usually copierait also all partitions on the disk, including any hidden partition, placed there by the computer manufacturer to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Because the cloned drive is an exact copy of the original disc, you need not to re - validate or reinstall Windows.

  Most of the cloning of the applications also drive allow the creation of "disk images".  The difference between a clone and a picture, is that the image is compressed, which allows you to save one or more images on a backup unit.  If a disk hard fails, you can restore an image to a new disk, but you must use the software that created the image to do so; on the other hand, if you have a clone of the original, you simply replace the bad disk with a new one.

  In most, but not all, the instructions I've seen point out that with laptop computers that you install the new disk first (with the original drive in an external enclosure) and then make the clone--> http://kb.acronis.com/content/2931 (compare, for example, http://youtu.be/fD08UaWon6A).  Read the instructions that come with any software package that you choose.

  What brand of car to use, insofar as I do not enough material work to give you an informed recommendation current.  I always used to Western Digital drives and was very pleased with them.  Others swear by Seagate.  If I had to find which drive to buy today, I would like to start looking at Newegg user comments but there is a lot of material to review sites on the web - most end up confusing the issue, especially since most of the reviewers is now focused on the latest, fastest solid state and more expensive readers.
