You just brought home to Agoura Hills, Westlake Village or Calabasas your shiny new Apple MacBook Pro or iMac.

Automatically backing up iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini. Like most people, I'm lazy about backing up my data. If it's remotely inconvenient, I won't do it.

You finally bought it, because you ran out of room on your Apple 64 GB iPhone 7 and can't get your new Apple Watch 2.0 to work without the latest Apple iOS 10.

You can't upgrade without creating space on your iphone! It's like a big circle and you feel like Apple Computers is pulling all of your strings.

You really wanted the Apple iPad Pro, but were afraid that even though how small and handy it was it wouldn't be able to do absolutely everything that you wanted to do with it (including storing all of those videos and pictures) A few questions nag you, but you weren't able to get answers to them that made sense:

1. Why does my new AppleMacBook Pro have such a small amount of storage and cost so much?
2. Why do ALL of the new MacBook Pro's seem to have such small hard drives?
3. Why does Apple iCloud keep telling me I need to upgrade?
4. Why do I have to pay Apple Computers more money per month?

You really want to to immediately jump in and start creating all of that irreplaceable content that you love to have with you.

Things like:

• Finally transferring those 128 GB of movies and photos on your iphone of:
• Your kids birthdays from 3 years
• Your husband's last two events with his buddies
• Innumerable other precious moments
• When your kids' did something that no other kids ever did

You captured the images because you had your phone there. You are so happy that now you have that for a lifetime of enjoyment (If you could just find the time to actually look at what you captured)

I have one suggestion…… STOP!

Don't do one more thing, not one more thing before you take a deep breath and think like a tight rope walker. https://truegload707.weebly.com/malwarebytes-3-2-35-1162.html.

Your new hard drive needs to fulfill the following qualifications:

• Be reliable
• Take no thought
• Be really reliable and just always work
• Be there when you REALLY, REALLY need it!!

The fact is there are LOTS of external hard drives that all work with Macs

(well….sort of…)

Every hard drive manufacturer will tell you that they are 'compatible' with Macs to varying degrees. Some say that they will only support certain Apple operating systems.

The fact is that since we still live in a PC-centric world all drives come formatted (translation: 'set up for use') with either of the following partition types using the following acronyms:

• DOS 'Disk Operating System'
• FAT32 'File Allocation Table 32'
• HFS 'Hierarchal File System'

so our slower less compatible PC Windows cousins can talk to it.

In the Windows world, these drives work perfectly. If you connect one of these drives to a Mac, it to will work perfectly for basic transferring files (within limits). The fact is that you are limited with file naming restrictions, data access, file management issues. Apple basically tells you to reformat the drive to HFS+ for best success

(translation: RELIABLE)

If you don't do it it may work at first, but it will PROBABLY fail or 'sort' of fail soon. (translation: rainbow wheels, slow boots, etc) In my book this means 'AVOID this at all costs'.

Remember in the Anything Mac world, It Should Just Work! The amount of times that I've solved client's time machine problems by disconnecting and reformatting their external hard drive as an HFS plus partition I can't count.

Now let's talk about your options.

Apple Macbook Pro Backup Drives

The 1st thing to look at is what kind of Apple MacBook Pro, Apple MacBook or Apple iMac do you have? Look at the holes along it's sides. Those are called 'ports'

Older Macs can connect to hard drives using these 'ports':

• USB
• Firewire
• Ethernet
• Wireless (aka: WIFI)

New Macs connect using

• USB
• Thunderbolt
• Wireless

Macbook app store. When deciding on backup hard drives I always lean toward my old friend, reliability.

• Unmanaged home networks can go down or lose settings. NO to Ethernet or Wireless.
• Stay away from ports that have already been replaced by new technology
• NO to Firewire. (It's been replaced by USB 3.0 and thunderbolt for higher data speed requirements.)

That leaves us with our old reliable friend, USB. It's been around a long time. It will work fine for backing up as long as it's USB 2.0 or later. It'll state that on the box and unless it's a VERY old Mac it'll be USB 2.0 or later.

The biggest manufacturers of USB external drives are:

• Seagate Hard Drives
• Western Digital Hard Drives
• LaCie Hard Drives

They all are 'pretty' reliable, but NEVER should be counted on as a single backup solution. I would recommend the non power supply 'portable' versions, because the more convenient something is the more likely you are to use it.

One Caveat. During one year over 40% of Seagate 3TB hard drives FAILED completely. So expect even the new hard drive you bought to fail so you don't lose any of your precious Apple Photos! Always have at least 2 copies of your data for safety.

Speaking as someone who has experienced that I know how important it is to not rely on one backup source. See my post Your Best Apple Mac Computer Backup and Archive Solution for a more complete solution to your data management needs

Happy Computing!

Remember It Should Just Work!

Usb Drive For Macbook Pro

If you used Time Machine to create a backup of your Mac, you can restore your files from that backup or a local snapshot on your startup disk. You might want to restore your files after the originals were deleted from your Mac, or the hard disk (or SSD) in your Mac was erased or replaced, such as during a repair.

Restore from a Time Machine backup

When you restore from a Time Machine backup, you can choose to restore all your files, or restore both the Mac operating system (macOS) and all your files.

Restore all your files

1. Make sure that your Time Machine backup disk is connected to your Mac and turned on. Then turn on your Mac.
   
2. Open Migration Assistant, which in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
   • If your Mac starts up to a setup assistant, which asks for details like your country, keyboard, and network, just continue to the next step. The setup assistant includes a migration assistant.
   • If your Mac doesn't start up all the way, or you also want to restore the macOS you were using when you created the backup, follow the steps to restore both macOS and your files.
3. When you're asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup, or startup disk. Then click Continue.
   
4. Select your Time Machine backup, then click Continue.
   
5. If you're asked to choose from a list of backups organized by date and time, choose a backup and click Continue.
   
6. Select the information to transfer, then click Continue to start the transfer. This screen might look different on your Mac:
   
7. If you have a lot of content, the transfer might take several hours to finish. When the transfer is complete, restart your Mac and log in to the migrated account to see its files.
   

Restore both macOS and your files

These steps erase your hard disk, then use your backup to restore both your files and the specific version of macOS you were using when you created the backup.

1. Make sure that your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on.
   If your backup disk isn't available, keep going: You might be able to restore from a local snapshot on your startup disk.
2. Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R to start up from macOS Recovery. Release the keys when you see the Apple logo or spinning globe.
3. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose the option to restore from a Time Machine Backup.
   
4. Click Continue until you're asked to select a restore source, then select your Time Machine backup disk. Or select your startup disk (Macintosh HD), which might have a local snapshot you can restore from.
   
5. Click Continue. If your disk is encrypted, you're asked to unlock the disk: Enter the administrator password you used when setting up Time Machine, then click Continue again.
6. Select a backup, if available, then click Continue.
   
7. Select a destination disk, which will receive the contents of your backup. If restoring from a local snapshot, you aren't asked to select a destination.
   
8. Click Restore or Continue. If your Mac has FileVault turned on, you're asked to enter your administrator password to unlock the disk.
9. When done, restart your Mac.
