[QUOTE="torchy, post: 895084, member: 6076"] OK when your Time Machine backup is working everything will be backed up unless you tell it otherwise. I'm mobile so I just plug my 500 Gb portable TM drive into my MBP every few days or so. TM stays switched on so it just waits till the drive gets attached. It will complain if it's not backed up for 10 days.. You can Backup the folders under your House icon in Finder to any spare BU drive or even a reasonably large Flash drive. The user library files (under the house icon) contain the mail, address book data, preferences etc. You probably wont need to back up the pictures, music & movies every time. Set Finder preferences (under finder on the menu bar) to show cd, dvds, ipods etc in the side bar so you can just drag the items you want to back up on to the drive. Opening two finder windows can make it easier to drag and drop. Finder > File > new window or command n. PS ~ from 1st post. if you want a picture of a window larger than the screen try File > Print > Save as pdf > save to desktop. Double click any pdf to open in Preview (default) then use 'save as' to save each page in whatever format you want. You can crop any part of a graphic format page in preview. Draw the crop area with the curser > Tools crop or command k. Save as pdf is built into your Mac under the print menu in many apps. .Tif format. Drag the picture from the email onto your desktop > double click it to open in preview > 'Save as' any format > save to desktop > drag back into the email. You can drag most pictures from Safari, iPhoto etc onto your desktop ~ another reason Not to use full screen :D. Most windows will open the same size as you closed them which is handy. S. [/QUOTE]
