backup

If I transfer photos taken and edited with my iPhone to a folder on an external hard drive, are the edits baked into the images, or do I need the Photos app to view the edits? Thinking about backing my photos up outside of the Photos app, but I want to back up the original, non-edited versions.

TimeCapsule is playing up. What do people use for backup now that TimeCapsules are no longer sold. I need something that is network attached, rather than physically attached to my iMac. Cheers Chris.

Hi, can you advise if possible to backup iOS device with iTunes or another third party app on Sierra 10.12.6? I tried but itunes says "I don't have permissions" which doesn't make sense. I also tried iMazing, it didn't work either, same message of "no permissions". Tnx!

Dear friends, I have bought a license to CCC v6 for my 2020 M1 Mac mini with 256GB SSD. I have setup a daily backup of the whole disk to an external 500GB SSD, and would use this backup in case the mini completely crashed to restore the system (even though I still need to read if/how I can...

So, for the entire time I've owned an iPhone (10+ years), my backups have been between 5 GB and 7 GB. In the summer, I backed up my iPhone 11 Pro before I bought a new phone (12 pro). The backup was 6.8 Gig. Perfect. I uploaded that to my new phone and got on with my life. Sometime after...

Hi all, I have been having issues with my external hard drive lately. I have a 2018 15” Macbook Pro running Monterey. My external HD has become extremely slow when loading, opening, transferring files, etc. but runs flawlessly when I use it at school on bigger iMacs. I have tried resetting the...

So I upgraded to Catalina on my 2009 MacBook pro by the backdoor method and now my external hard drive won't work. Just cycles and never goes into actually backing up. Just continues to say "preparing for backup." Is this a known issue? I know Apple wouldn't support my upgrade b/c they want...

I'm trying to restore my iPhone XR from a backup i made on my Mac, but the backup wont go through. I connect my iPhone to my Macbook, and select the "Restore Backup..." button in the finder window, type in my password, and then a spinning wheel will show up, and say, "loading..." followed by...

I recently added iCloud storage in preparation for a new iPhone. As part of the process I backed up an iPhone 6. To my surprise the backup took up about 35GB of iCloud space, so much that I got an alert to upgrade my 50GB plan to 200GB. I went from about 3.5GB of iCloud use to 50GB-plus. Since...

I've tried to restore some files from my Time Machine back up and it returns that the operation cannot be carried out, with an error -1407 code. Hopefully this isn't fatal...

Hey guys, I have a really strange issue (at least for me) with Time Machine after upgrading to Monterey. Normally, a new complete backup takes between 3 to 5 hours for me using a 4TB USB 3, my Passport drive as the time machine drive. After upgrading to macOS Monterey, the system is very...

Hi. My 5GB free iCloud storage is about to run out. What are my options for apps that automatically backup my photos to the cloud AND not delete my photos when I delete the photos from my phone? Thanks

I am going to swap the OEM SSD in my 2015MBAir running MacOS 11.6 with an NVME + adapter and as such I would like to create a backup as not to have to reinstall the apps and go through some boring process with it. I have an external hard drive with some free space to backup the Air, what should...

Hello, sorry for the dramatic title I wasn't sure how to write it. Sorry as well for the poor english, as a french native I'm not always sure of the syntaxe nor the words that are fitting the best. I'll be quick: my iMac 27" that was released late August 2020 and that has become my main machine...

I have a 256GB iPhone 12 running iOS 14.8 connected via cable to my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.6 with more than 660GB of free space on the SSD. The iPhone itself only has about 1GB free and is nearly full. I am trying to back up the iPhone locally as I always do and after a...

How do you like the service? I’m considering signing up to free up storage on my phone, have a reliable backup, and share with family. My only hesitation is that it converts HEIF to JPEG. I wish I could preserve the original file type. ?

Hey all. Yesterday, I backed up my iPhone Xs (256 gb) to iTunes in hopes of restoring it with the backup before iOS 15 releases. The backup process went by smoothly, albeit slow, but with no problems. However, after attempting to restore the backup to my device, I was hit with an error that...

I need a new external hard drive (just for backups), and I’m thinking of trying a Samsung T5 SSD. 1. I’ve heard that it will need to be reformatted - is that correct? How difficult is that to do? 2. What is the process for encrypting my backups?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to backup my MacBook. I have previously used time machine with an external hard drive, but the drive kept breaking and I got tired of having to remember to plug it in. I now want to try a cloud based backup that I can set and forget, so I signed up for...
