I installed Apple's .Mac backup software, but now I can't find it anywhere. How do I locate it on this computer? I want to back up my data, but without the program, I can't do it.

Hey, there's no crocs/alligators in Minnesota!

To answer your question, I have to ask the obvious -- did you do a "find" for it? Sometimes things get put in funny places. though I am fairly certain my backup applicaation is in ... applicataions.

SO search for it. And -- you're absolutely certain you did install it? And is .mac only letting you download it once -- maybe you could just the ole' reinstall.

Just type Backup in the Finder search field!

Or download it again from .Mac
