ICloud drive backup from my MacBook Pro Finder folders?

ICloud drive backup from my MacBook Pro Finder folders? I have Word for Mac and lots of jpg and PDF files in the My Documents folder that I'd like to back up.

iCloud Drive is a synchronization system, not a backup system. Use an external drive for backups. So that documents to download, they are added to iCloud by car. iCloud drive will not load automatically the content of your Documents folder.

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

  • I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

    It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

    Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

    Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

  • Paginate a hard drive from a MacBook Pro of dead in an older Machine

    HI, my problem seems to be slightly different than I've seen it comes here or elsewhere before. After a hard life, my early 2011 MacBook pro 15 "is dead. In recent months the usb Sockets have been unreliable and wifi no longer works, so a few days ago he crashed and will not restart. The hard drive is newer than the rest of the laptop being a 480 GB of sandisk ssd drive. I have been given a little older but in better condition MacBook Pro (mid 2010) and would like to swap the hard drive and restore my data, applications etc. From a time machine backup.

    My question is, how do I reverse the readers and set things on another machine. Do I reformat the hard disk and do an install clean then restore from time machine, or is there another way of doing things? I was running from El Capitan on the original machine, 2010A currently replacing an older operating system. I'm quite happy with the opening of the laptop, physically swapping drives etc., I just want to understand how best to make the transfer and resume my backup system.

    Thank you

    Andy

    If you take the SSD to the Mac has failed and install it in the 2010 MBP, it should work.

  • Calendars has disappeared from the MacBook Pro

    I clicked to open the calendar on the doc icon and all of my calendars are GONE. There is now only a single base calendar with holidays and some limited entries that I had put in the calendar on my iPhone (6).  But all entries made on multiple calendars on my MacBook Pro (circa 2009, 13 inches) and the calendars themselves have disappeared.  The left in the schedule column now lists only the 'other' with boxes checked for 'Found in Mail' and ' WE holiday.»  There is a box unchecked "birthdays".  I also checked my iPhone calendars (6): in the column "MY MAC", several of my missing calendars are noted as "null".  In the column 'GMAIL', my e-mail address, birthdays and holidays are checked.  I restarted the computer from the drop-down menu, only to rebuild or repair itself, as opposed to an automatic restart.  I do not backup to the cloud, only on a hard drive.  I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.  Help!

    Tell us what this immediately preceded - add software, upgrading or updating? Nothing at all.

  • G - drives not recognized by MacBook Pro 13"

    Hello

    I have three G-drives; It broke in early 2013, another broke out by end 2014 and this one broke yesterday. I mainly use external hard drives to move movies on my MacBook Pro once I watched, while in the past, I have not too concerned about the loss of data. However this last disc contained a set of backup of my old hard drive MacBook (which has also since expired and off) which is full of personal files, I could really do without losing, not to mention a ton of files for work. So, I really need to recover data... In hindsight, it's my stupid fault continues to buy G-technology, given all the press they get, and my own experience, but no point dwelling on it.

    I excluded the following:

    -Problem with USB ports: ports to recognize the other two external hard drives, I have, as well as four different USB keys

    -Problem with the head: I tested with two different threads and the thread of my other external hard drives (which work with thin discs)

    -Power: I used a USB (the one with two separate connectors) power cable and not of joy (G-readers do not come with an external power supply so I can't try it)

    -Dismantling: I ran utility disc with three connected but without success. They do not appear in the sidebar, just Macintosh HD

    -Finder preferences: it's not that either, I checked. Show external hard drives on desktop is checked

    Equipment:

    Disc 1: G-Drive Slim, 500GB, 0G 01996

    Disc 2: G-Drive Ev, 500GB, GDEVEA5001BDB

    Disc 3: Old and the sticker is barely readable. Of its 250 GB memory, but I was able to deceive.

    Mac: MacBook Pro (retina, 13-inch, early 2015), graphic card Intel Iris 6100 1536 MB, 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3, Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz. It runs OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21)

    I also tried connecting it to a Windows computer that runs Windows 10 to see if I could see it in the Windows Disk Manager. Do it, I received the following notification with all three; "The last USB device that you connected to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize."

    I have never actually used with a Windows PC, but it could be by for the course.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    P.S. I'm not fussed on their fixation, so I can continue to use them. I have other readers of credible brands which I can store and continue to use instead, so my only goal becomes data. I see many people on the forums advise people to buy hard drives decent brands. This is useful for people do not buy a hard G, but I already know that they are of poor quality, while this information is not useful to my situation. I just need some sort of resolution so I can recover my data. Thank you.

    Are these 2.5 "diameter disks?  If so, remove the naked reader, insert in a known functional Cabinet and connect it to your MBP.  It may be the disk G SATA connection is failing.

    If not successful, you may need to use a professional data recovery service.  A lot of $$$ and no guarantee of success.

    Ciao.

  • All my contacts disappeared from my MacBook Pro.  What should I do to restore it?

    I have a MacBook Pro using OSX 10.9.5.  All my Contacts just disappeared yesterday.  I don't know what I could have done to cause this.  What should I do to restore it?

    Assuming you are using iCloud, in a browser go to icloud.com and connect and see if they are there.

    If they try to go into system preferences > iCloud and uncheck and recheck the Contacts. If not successful, disconnect from iCloud and reconnect

  • put the old macbook pro hard drive in the new macbook pro

    so I have a MacBook Pro with a port of moniter fried on the motherboard and the battery started to swell physically so I removed the drive HARD and RAM end of 2009. So here's my question; Now, I received recently a late 2010 MacBook Pro with a smaller HARD drive if I put my 500 GB HDD from my old computer and now I wonder why it does not start even if it's a MacBook Pro registered, formatted and updated HARD drive already?

    Does not work like that. The OS X is for the Mac that you pulled. Bus information processor and the room and everything. Buy an external USB box and put the old hard drive in it. You will be able to recover your personal data and you can delete it, format and use it for external storage.

    You cannot shoot a hard drive with OS X work and put it in any Mac. Once installed, OS X belongs to the Mac, it was planned to organize. Any OS that way, is not just Mac.

    Bravo!

    Just to be clear, iCloud backup & iCloud drive are essentially two separate things.

    This can be useful, iCloud is primarily a service synchronization. Means that it can take the changes you make on one device and other devices to update this change if you do not have to be done individually on each device. Useful if you have more device. iCloud Drive is the term used for the part of iCloud that can synchronize files between your devices, just like Dropbox. iCloud backup is the backup of live data to iCloud part. Sync services aren't backups, just a way for your data reach another device.

    On your iPhone, if you go to:

    Settings > general > Srorage & use iCloud > manage storage (under iCloud) > [phone] (BACKUPS)

    You can see what data is stored for each application (Tap 'Show all Apps' if necessary).
