• Need tips on backup and storage for photo / audio

  I have an iMac of 2013 end 5 k. I do a lot of photography, treatment with Photoshop and Lightroom.

  However, I also do a lot of audio (for the most part, podcasting), so I need a silence almost workplace.

  When I bought the iMac, I also got a LaCie Little Big Disk. It's a quick series of PCIe SSD 1 TB super set pre-configured in RAID 0 mode, and it is completely silent. Certainly, it is a total overkill for photography work, but I was really happy with him... until he has filled.

  I use a separate 4 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure from OWC for disk backup internal of my iMac as LaCie hard drive with my photos.

  Now I need more capacity, and I would also like to combine the storage and backup in the same case. Naturally, I am considering a Thunderbay OWC 4. But I'm stuck on which we get.

  A 4 between thunderbay with JBOD 3.5 hard drives probably makes the most sense. I have 3 x 4 TB, HDD, one for storage of photos, one for saving the photo viewer, for Time Machine. And then a 1 TB of HARD drive to back up my iMac (512 GB SSD) drive. Problem is I'm afraid that's not too noisy. Even if I had a quieter fan, I'm worried about the noise made by the readers of spinning.

  Second option is a Thunderbay 4 with 2.5 1 TB SSD in a RAID5 configuration. It would give me 3 TB of storage with protection against failure. With a Noctura fan, it would be nearly silent. But this isn't a true backup and I still need a separate backup drive, which is not the most elegant solution.

  FWIW, I have backup off site with Backblaze. But although that offers protection data, if the entire Thunderbay somehow got fried, it would be nice to have a backup closer at hand than Backblaze. I believe that they will send a disc with recorded data, but not sure about that.

  Any ideas would be appreciated!

  If noise from Thunderbay concerns then just get you a longer cable of love at first sight. I saw them in 10 meter lengths, then you can have the flexibility to put the box in another room or at least a distance of your office.

• TIPS OF BACKUP FOR DUMMIES

  HP PAVILION.  MICROSOFT 7, 64 BIT. WINDOWS HOME PREMIUM.

  I was told that computer, the files must be dumped every two years and only the important files back on the hard drive after recovery. I would like to know the best way to handle this. Should I start by removing all the waste that has accumulated over 2 and a half years, and then resumption of use? The only backups I've ever done are snapshot type of the operating system. In this case, I choose only what I really need.

  I'm confused because I don't know how to save a program that has been downloaded and installed with many extracted files. How can I find this application in one piece and save until the computer went through a recovery? How can I save my favorites? I'm scared and need help. Thank you, Joseph

  Hello Joseph,.

  OK, here's how it would work. If it is not already connected internally, you connect your empty hard disk to your computer and save your applications (programs) and the data to him. A really good backup application is free software EaseUS Todo Backup here: http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Todo-Backup-Free/3000-2242_4-10964460.html?tag=mncol;1 . The program scroll you through the backup process. Remember not to store your OS, since that's what you're going to replace.

  Once that's done go here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01867418&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5054169&tmp_track_link=ot_search to learn and print how to make the system recovery. The procedure is also explicit, just do attention to various "warnings" to protect against undesirable consequences.

  Once this is done, you return to programs and data that you have backed up and restore to their original location. And that's all.

  I can help you with specific tasks or questions, just post it here and I'll answer. It is 'a little' work, but it is a relatively simple procedure to do. I would like to know how I can help you in this task.

  Kind regards

• iTunes.exe found entry point

  After the last update error ITunes.exe entry point not found

  avcfplayersetclientenforcedexternalprotectionmethod could not be found in the dynamic link library c:\program files\iTunes\itunescore.dll - I download windows 10 iTunes 64 install and ran repair - repair has not fixed the problem

  Entry point errors can usually be fixed by removing the offending dll, and then repair the component it is programs and features Control Panel. iTunesCore.dll is part of the main application to iTunes and it will usually be in iTunes C:\Program or C:\Program Files (x 86) \iTunes.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recently built in case you have problems to download, need to revert to an earlier version, or try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) release as a work around for performance issues, or for compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party on 64 - bit systems.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  Your library must be affected by these measures, but there are links to tips of backup and recovery elsewhere in the tip of the user.

  If the problem persists and you have a 64-bit system try for the old version of video cards which is a 64-bit Installer for most of the 32-bit code, similar to all 64 bit iTunes up to 12,1 versions.

• I lost the icon charge and all the legends with icons. Help.

  I installed an update of Mozy, rebooted and found that firefox had lost the legends with the icons, the icon charge completely. Customize the box covers almost the entire page and doesn't include as much as he used to. My Autofill is over. And he has no Navigation bar listed int the toolbars area.

  Have you just moved to Firefox Beta 28.0 to Firefox Beta 29,0? What you are experiencing is the new UI "Australis".

  On the first run, Firefox 29 is expected to present a tour guide you to the menu bar and toolbar changes. If that does not work, maybe there's a way to trigger again? (I have not tried myself.)

  If you prefer the familiar user interface of 28.0 Firefox, you can install the version of 'liberation' instead of the beta. A backup can be a good idea, but you don't need to remove the beta version.

• Coordinated recovery of phones smart blackBerry

  My two months 9900 new died on me yesterday.  I told myself there is a short on the system board and BB will not feed.  I need to get my contact details and some data in my BB to save it somewhere until I received my new phone, in any case I can do?

  I tried in several ways, including remove the battery and connect to the USB, I also my 9900 responsible for more than 10 hours already...  Still no power.

  Thank you.

  You're welcome, I guess.

  But curse RIM is hardly fair (or civil - Fortunately our site is equipped with filters!). After all, the devices designed and built by man are, by definition, unable to achieve perfection; the default rate is always greater than zero. Yes, it's unfortunate that you are falling into this low percentage, but it is just outside the boundaries of expectation (IMHO).

  A tip about backups... use less frequently than weekly No. BB Protect every day (during the night when you are asleep and preferably connected to WiFi) and Desktop software. This way, you have two levels of protection... always wise with computing devices. Also, use a desktop or PIM (-) as a data source master calendar/contacts (sync tethered via the Desktop or OTA via GMail/Yahoo software). Never treat your BB (or any other SmartPhone for that matter) as a source of storage of data 'master '.

  Good luck!

• My .chm file compiles more

  Help! My .chm file compiles more. RoboHelp think it's compiliing a file, but the result is 10 percent of the file size of previous versions and, of course, does not open. All other SSL seems to work.
  
  I publish to RoboEngine (WebHelp Pro) to the primary structure. I also maintain a site to test using WebHelp and generate several printed presentations. I use the .chm as a backup of my project, by advice of Rick Stone (see Tips & tricks, backup strategy). I have no problems with the layout until last week.
  
  Before ask you, yes I'm ranger and compile all the files on a local disk. I just copy the .chm to a network drive for the backup and publish the remaining provisions their homes-web.
  
  Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

  Thanks for your help. That's how I 'solved' the problem:
  Make a copy of the project.
  Delete the files .cpd and .xpj.
  Open the .hhp file.
  Replace the conditional tags and ssl by Peter's web site.
  Close the project.
  Open the .cpd file in Access.
  Replace the negative numbers with positive numbers (especially in the tables see also model of files and luggage).
  Close the .cpd file.
  Open the project in the .xpj file. The project now works as expected.

  I don't know why it works, but thought I would post back for any other people who may have similar problems (for example, the endangered see also links & models when you open a file, .hhp project).

• Tip: Archives iPhone backup in Windows

  iTunes manages normally a rollover backup for each device unless you restore a backup in which case it is archived with the date of restoration and a new backup created rolling. On a Mac, you can get iTunes to duplicate a backup set, but this feature is not copied into iTunes for Windows. With iTunes closed, you can select and copy and paste an existing backup folder in C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup, and then give a folder name that ends by - yyyymmdd-hhmmss. When you restart iTunes extra backup set will be listed under Edit > Preferences > devices even though it will be the same as the original he was cloned from. Once you refresh the active backup, it should be possible to tell who is who, since timestamps.

  Very smart, thank you. I have bookmarked this post. I didn't know how to archive backups in iTunes for Windows that you are using an external drive. I checked my MBP (10.11.5) and of course, there is a drop-down list in iTunes > > > devices that allows archiving. No option on my iTunes W10 (12.4.1). Is Apple iTunes "infantilization down" for Windows?

  Can you tell me how you renamed the folder cloned game? Under backup, I have two folders, one for my iPhone and one for my iPad. Should I letting them copy except as existing names by adding the time stamp at the end of the alphanumeric string long? Like 6d473d7c6... 20160709? Is that what you mean?

  Probably you already know, but Windows 10 you can go directly in the folder (normally hidden) homelessness by typing %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto in Cortana. In Windows 7 I had to change the "View" to view system files / hidden.

• Backup: Problem access another network driveBackup, tips from other users

  Hello everyone. I'm trying to use my NAS backup function to copy a file .rar from a share on a different network drive - a little old Maxtor SSD - but I get an error message:

  "Can't access the remote path / / 192.168.0.13/sauvegarde/Work.rar.

  The file in question resides on a mapped share that Windows has no trouble to have access to, but NAS can't seem to. How can I get the NAS to authenticate for the SSD?

  Thanks for listening. I hope someone can help. The usual disclaimer notice for my ignorance apply.

  ReadyNAS NV +.

  Windows 7 x 64

  That seems to have been it. With a folder instead of a file as a target, it works. Thank you 1 million.

  I must say that the error message "Unable to access remote path" is not very useful...

• Backup tips

  Hello

  I am relatively new to using Lightroom and have a couple of backup related queries.  I had my PC replaced work and was reinstalled on the new Lightroom.  My storage location for my photos has been on a network drive that is constantly supported.  However, when I had reinstalled LR while photos are back, changes that I made (cropping, apply presets, etc.) was not.  I understand that the raw file is never changed but I assumed wrongly that the changes were stored in the same folders as the DNG somehow.  How can I save these changes in the future?

  Also, I would save my presets, I know are stored locally on my drive C: (Win XP).  Can I move this folder is also on the network drive, so it is saved automatically?  There is an option called: store presets with catalog, where the presets would be installed?  My root for my catalog directory is N:\Z_Storage\Lightroom Library\, but I see not the presets I created here when I activate this option.  What presets I have download, can they be stored on the network drive?

  Thank you very much!

  (1) backup of the changes

  Mostly, the changes that you make to your images are stored in the Lightroom (the file called *.lrcat) catalog. Only when you 'Write to the metadata file' (Ctrl-S) or if you have automatically "write the changes XMP" enabled in the settings of your catalog, some (but not all) changes are stored in a so-called (for the Raws) XMP Sidecar file or in the DNG file.

  I suspect you have re-imported all your images after you have installed LR on the new computer, which is not what you should have done. You need to open your existing catalog (for example by double-clicking on the *.lrcat of catalog file), and all your changes will be there.

  So that the images not be presented as "missing", please make sure that your drive containing your originals retains the same drive letter, or you must reconnect your records by "find lack the folder ' on the top-level folders.

  So if I were you, I would try opening the catalog that you worked with before and all your changes should appear.

  (2) saving Presets

  The default folder of the LR presets is not editable (moved) easily. There are ways to achieve this by using symbolic links.

  If you have "Store Presets with Catalog" checked, LR will create a folder called "Lightroom settings" right next to your catalog (*.lrcat file), and store presets create you thereafter in there. Please note that presets already created in the default location of the pre-selection documents will not automatically copied or displaced during this folder once you select "Store Presets with Catalog".

  Because Windows has a bad habit of store information (non-volatile) in C:\Documents and Settings, I decided to simply save this folder regularly, since trying to keep (relevant) things out is almost impossible in Windows.

• I need supports T61 as backup: tips on where to buy?

  My current T61, I love, suggests to me that maybe it's go south one day (a long 2 short beeps which so far I got since).
  It looks like my cheapest option and happy would be a use or renovated T61 since I can move my DPS and 8 GB of Ram and Windows 7 CD install and Office 2010 CD install on it.

  I see those used/given to nine for sale on Amazon and would like the input of this forum on the sellers, blah blah blah.
  This forum has been so helpful to me over the years.

  I saw Tampa portable computers that have a side of big sale a T60. Is - too much different than a T61 and can move my stuff him?

  Faithfully standing.

  Hey thanks.
  I ran this route and ended up buying a T61p in Tampa all. There were several reviews on Amazon praising. So I saw no T61 in their inventory from Amazon so I sent and they go for me with 3 choices.

  This is the first email I got from them:

• Cannot delete the Time Machine backups

  I have a MacBook Air and a 128 GB USB key that holds my library of photos, so I always make backups. My system - and I have recently made account how flawed it was - was to create backups on a 500 GB HARD drive, but to transfer them to a 2 TB HARD drive when it is full. So, I finally discovered that when I transfer backups in small quantities to the 2 TB, it takes more space because instead of aliases of files used to represent more recent backups, care of file just copied over and over again. For this reason, I put my 2 TB as a feature of time machine and imported all the old backups in the folder backups.db, that my Mac 'cleaned' and registered 135 GB. But 135 GB is not enough, I went and delete backups that I don't have anymore. When I looked in the trash to empty, I've seen 2 things: backups I have trashed and others who are pale sort out. I can't open the files, even if I right click and select "open in a new tab. When I try to "immediately remove" these paled-out files, I always get a message that they are "on duty." It is about 300 GB, so I must get rid of him. But it does not stop there, because when I try to "delete immediately" backups I had trashed myself, I get an error message! It is a total of about 600 GB, what I absolutely need to get rid of! If anyone has some tips, it will be greatly appeciated.

  You have probably sprayed your Time Machine backup database. The best thing to do is erase the disc with Airport utility. Then start again with a new backup.

  Good day.

• FCPX backup copy / pasted Time Machine drive does contain any of my changes.

  So I had to reformat my computer, but before I did I made that Time Machine backup of my computer. When you reinstall the operating system, I chose NOT to re - install Time Machine backup. Instead I started clean and then just hung out and let down my FCPX library file of the external drive for Time Machine on the newly formatted Mac desktop. When I open the library of 500 GB, none of my edits exist, even if I had about 40 hours of changes in the project. I'm sure that the backup is somewhere, but I can't find it. Any tips?

  Backups must be in a file in ~ / movies. This is the default location.
