Trying to back up my iPad 2 on Mac without success

Hello

I am due to receive a new iPad Monday and I thought that the best way to start is to make a complete backup of my old model to my Mac.

I connect my iPad to my Mac via the USB cable and have launched iTunes.  Click on the iPad in the devices icon, the General information page to open in iTunes which gives the possibility to save.  I clicked on the "this computer" and then click on the button 'save now '.  A message is displayed in the top toolbar, by replacing the Apple logo, that States "Backup iPad Tod."  It lasts less than a minute and I can't believe that the iPad all (some 35GB) has been saved.

I opened the case of ~/Music/iTunes to look to see if a real backup had been run.  What I found was:

  • Mobile applications was amended in February and contained the apps that I have has since removed and there was no recently added apps
  • a couple of small files with the extension .itdb - likely iTunes database, that has changed tonight

I then went to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, where I remembered has somewhere else to verify backups.  containing a 'Backup' folder, which in turn contained a folder with a hexadecimal string long as its name.  This jar to file int contained some 14 000 same name TextEdit files, all with the timestamp of this evening.  The record shows that it is only 1.6 GB of great, who has not yet add up to the 35 GB on my iPad.

So either I'm misinterpreting of what should do a backup or I understand how to do this.

Advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

~/Music/iTunes file is the library of iTunes (music, movies, applications etc), and the .itdb file is the iTunes database file

The MobileSync/Backup is the right folder, but does not contain a backup of any content to the iPad. It contains your documents, files, photos, calendar, contacts, historical etc. of navigation - it does not contain your music, movies, TV shows, apps (and photos synchronized from a computer), the restoration would look to pick up iTunes library (so media content is not duplicated in the iTunes library and backup).

If iTunes purchases that are on the iPad are not in iTunes library you can copy them on via file > devices > transfer purchases - if the iPad on iOS 9 apps don't copy back of it due to the developer feature called "thinning app" (you will need to re-download the directly on iTunes for the Mac).

    On the one hand, you cannot uninstall Safari.  It comes as part of the operating system.  So, I don't know what you've done or what you think you did, but this is not that.  Could you explain more by what you mean with "I get reimage opening in a new window?  You can post a screenshot of what happens?

    It is not possible to use 16-bit on a 64-bit computer applications/games.

    However, you can download and install Wondows XP Mode for windows 7. Later, you can install your 16-bit application in XP mode.

    You may not have the correct permissions or own the medium on which you try to perform the backup.  Here are some instructions on how to give you the right permissions and Take Ownership (if necessary).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder/drive, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/. In this csse make sure grant you full permissions and check also advanced special permissions (including the inherited permissions) which can substitute for this entry to limit your rights by assembling as well.

    To resolve this problem with folders or drive, take possession of the records or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    I tried to back up my hard disk but to halfway through it says I/O device error code: 0x8007045D.  I disabled mcafee to see if it was interfering, but that did not work.   I have an acer aspire laptop with windows 7.  I was not able to save anything.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Sheila,

    This can happen if your virus scanner (or another application of heavy disk activity) access to training. You can try running chkdsk in safe mode:

    If you run chkdsk in safe mode and you still have problems of backup, try to perform a clean boot to disable all third-party applications and test support upward:

  • IPad wi - fi MAC address not "MAC address" according to the Linksys router

    WRT55AG 2.0:

    Failed to save the MAC address of my new iPad wi - fi MAC filtering table.  Upgrade to the latest firmware, but still does not work.  When I try to record, I get a pop-up that says: "not a MAC Address.

    If I disable the MAC filtering, the iPad can be accessed via the router and the router shows the good MAC iPad in the customer table wireless, but I much perfer to have enabled MAC filtering.

    1. the MAC address filter is not a problem. It's a joke. As I have said before: the MAC addresses are always transferred not encrypted. If someone tries to penetrate your WPA2 protected wireless network, it is necessary to capture a lot of wireless traffic to crack the password. By the time it is cracked (who is supposed to be very difficult and time consuming if the password is good) the hacker knows all the MAC addresses that are accepted for your wireless network.

    2 No. more isn't always better. Are three locks on your door better than two? Ten are better than two? Why have you not 10 locks on your door? The longer the better? It's more, but the impact on you is much more important than the impact on an attacker. WPA2 with a strong password is like putting a stone wall think 100feet for protection. It is very high and very difficult to 'jump '. Filtering of MAC addresses is like putting another small 5 inch thin barrier in front of the wall. The longer the better? Anyone that can fly over the wall will easily get over the fence. The greatest effect of the fence, it's that you will sometimes fall on it because you have forgotten. Compared to WPA2 security with a password strong MAC filter is simply not useful.

    3. the same for the SSID broadcast. Leave it active. The SSID is always transferred unencrypted over the affair with the access point. Any malicious person can easily find your SSID. In addition, it is easy to force a device associated to re-associate. With the right software, it takes a few seconds to learn the SSID. And even with SSID broadcast disabled, him access point always sends a signal of ELT. This means that the existence of your access point is immediately visible. Just the SSID is not transmitted with the tag.

    4. the disabled SSID broadcast technically breaks the wireless standard. Problems with wireless clients are common.

    5. the hidden SSID will be also the batteries in your wireless devices: wireless device always must actively try to connect from the hidden SSID. There is no other way to find out whether there is in the range. If you have ten networks hidden in the list of your wireless device wireless networks will try these ten networks frequently to see if one of these is in the range. In other words, it will try to connect to the hidden SSID and see if anything responds. If you do not connect to any hidden SSID (i.e. all the wireless networks in your list are broadcast) then it is very easy to find out whether a network is within reach: the device has to do is passively listen to the signals from the tags. There is no need to send anything until a known SSID is within reach. Then only the wireless device will try to associate with the SSID.

    So: don't hide your own SSID. And stay away from the other SSID hidden. Do not associate those or don't forget to remove from the list of preferred networks prior to departure. This will allow you to save a lot of battery power...

    To summarize: your neighbor who doesn't know computers would have a problem with broadcast SSID disabled or filtering of MAC addresses. But your neighbour do not know how to use a software to crack a wireless anyway. Anyone who is sophisticated enough to try a good attack on a protected network WPA2 will have no problem with the SSID broadcast or filtering of MAC addresses.

    And if it is an automated attack the SSID and MAC address is detected automatically. The broadcast SSID and MAC address filters are issues for you. They are not problems for any aggressor.
