Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

Probably not.

Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

You have not said what backup software you are using.

I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...

  • I have Outlook Express 6. When I try to send/receive my mail I get this error: Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133 can anyone help with this please

    I went and read a few articles on this I tried to delete the Folders.dbx, renamed server, flip pass and username. I just can't go there. Can anyone help on this.

    Thank you

    It isn't Folders.dbx which is screwed, it's Inbox.
     
    **************************************************
     
    Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
     
    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    When you reinstall Windows correctly, you start from the CD. Is it
    what you were doing?

    If so, the installation starts formatting the disk for you, then all the
    your files are gone.

    And by the way, reinstalling Windows due to an infection by the virus is
    almost always way exaggerated. There are several very good anti-virus
    programs that could probably removed the virus for you.

  • I'm a student, wanting to buy first pro with the student and teacher discount. The only two options are the creative cloud and the package of photography. I don't want to just first pro, can someone help please? Thank you

    Here's the deal - the SIMPLE APP pricing for an individual is retail $ 19.95 / month, so your 'first only' would be $19.95

    For students, Adobe does not give a discount on the price of the single app - on the contrary, they give you EVERYTHING for the price of the only application of mo $19,95. !!! Seems to be a no-brainer for me.

    You say you want only first, but once you start editing, you will realize that it is really useful to be able to make a round trip to Photoshop to work on photos/graphics. And then you will have some bad audio you want / need to clean up a little, and you can make a round trip in Adobe Audition and so on. It's a good deal for students.

    Thank you

    Hi Pete,.

    You can install Lightroom via this link:

    Download Photoshop Lightroom

    However, to get the rear changes you have previously done in Lightroom, you need to get the backup of your previous Lightroom Catalog.

    Store you the backup of your Lightroom catalog before recharging your Mac OS?

  • Firefox warning does not scripton can anyone help on this?

    I uninstall and reinstall still the same excellent firefox work sonetimes it starts even from when I try to log on to a site.

    Idid with no ad - ons still the same extension.

    Someone knows what to do in this case?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you get a warning: unresponsive script while working with Firefox.

    It must be quite difficult when things do not work as expected. Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

    1. do you have web-based Webroot antivirus program or modules installed on the computer?

    2. are you aware of changes to the computer before the show?

    3. have you checked the issue with Internet Explorer?

    4. is this point limited with all or a specific Web site? When you get this error message?

    I suggest to read this article in Firefox and perform the steps mentioned.

    http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/warning-unresponsive-script

    If the problem persists, I suggest you to report the issue to another Department for assistance:

    Firefox support forums

    http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/new

    Hope this information helps. For any help about Windows, you can still post on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  • Since the upgrade to CS6, I see is no longer how to convert files from, for example, a PDF to JPEG and vice versa.  It used to be so simple.  Can anyone help with this?

    Since the upgrade to CS6, I say is no longer how do to convert files from, for example, a PDF file as a JPEG or another type (gif, png, etc.).  When I look at the file in the Finder it simply brings me directly to my original in inDesign document, rather than to appear on the left side of the screen with the save option under sub folder as it did before.  Does anyone know how I can convert the files, I need to do a lot!

    ???? Conversion of files with InDesign? Never have been possible. The only thing you could and can do is to export an InDesign document. You can export to PDF, jpg, etc. just like before.
