`

`
`m Automatically back up and synchronize your information when you
`connect your Newton device to your desktop computer using the
`Auto Dock feature. (Not available if you’re using the Newton 2.0
`operating system.)
`
`The Newton Connection Utilities work with the Newton 2.0 and 2.1 operating
`system. If your Newton device has the Newton 2.0 operating system, the
`Auto Dock feature, transferring information to and from Newton Works.
`
`Installation requirements
`
`To use the Newton Connection Utilities, you need the following:
`m An IBM PC or compatible computer with an Intel 80486 DX2166 or later
`version microprocessor
`m A VGA display or better
`m Windows 3.1, Windows NT 3.5x, or Windows 95
`m 8 megabytes (MB) of total RAM
`m A hard disk drive with 12 MB of available disk space
`m An available serial (COM) port
`m A serial cable (9-pin or 25-pin corresponding to the available serial port).
`This cable is not included with the Newton Connection Utilities package.
`See “Connecting a Newton Device to Your Computer,” next, for more
`information about obtaining a cable. If you have a MessagePad 2000, you
`also must have the Newton Serial Adapter that comes with the
`MessagePad.

`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1027
`
`

`
`Connecting a Newton device to your computer
`Before you can transfer information between the PC and your Newton device,
`you need to connect the two machines with a serial cable. The Newton
`Connection Utilities communicate with the Newton device through a serial
`port on your PC.
`
`PC serial ports come in two sizes—9-pin or 25-pin. On some computers a
`serial port may be labeled COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or SERIAL.
`
`9-pin serial port
`
`If your computer has a 25-pin serial port,
`you can use an adapter to connect.
`
`To connect your Newton device to your PC, you need a serial cable with an
`8-pin to 9-pin connector. If your computer’s serial port has a 25-pin
`connector, you also need a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
`
`If you don’t have the serial cable you need, you can purchase one from an
`Apple-authorized dealer.
`
`Attaching the cable
`
`To connect your Newton device and PC by cable, follow these steps:
`
`Turn off your computer and your Newton device.
`
`Choose an available serial port on your PC.
`
`Connect the end of the cable with 9 holes to the appropriate port on your PC.
`
`If you have a 25-pin serial port, attach the adapter to the cable. Then plug the
`larger end of the adapter into the serial port.

`
`

`

`
`Plug the other (eight-pin) end of the serial cable into the Newton InterConnect port (or
`Communication port).
`
`If you are using a MessagePad 2000, you must use the Newton Serial Adapter
`to connect your cable to the Newton InterConnect port. Be sure to connect
`the cable to the serial adapter first and then connect the adapter to your
`MessagePad 2000. Otherwise your MessagePad may not establish a
`connection properly.

`
`Installing the Newton Connection Utilities
`Before your computer can communicate with your Newton device, you need
`to install the Newton Connection Utilities on your computer. You’ll need the
`disks that came with this manual.
`
`The Newton Connection Utilities installation program, Setup.exe, installs the
`Newton Connection Utilities software. For more information about the files
`installed on your computer, see the Readme file that’s installed with the
`Newton Connection Utilities software.
`

`
`IMPORTANT The illustrations used in this manual show the Windows 95
`versions of the application. If you are using a different version of Windows,
`the windows you see may look different, but the procedures are the same.
`
`A window appears.
`
`3
`
`Type A:\Setup and press Enter.
`
`Enter the drive letter (usually A: or B:) corresponding to the disk drive that
`holds the installation disk.
`
`4
`
`Follow the on-screen instructions.
`
`Depending on the version of Windows that you’re using, you may be asked to
`restart Windows. When installation is complete, the Newton Connection
`Utilities program group appears in the Explorer or Program Manager, and
`the Newton Connection Utilities program (Ncu.exe) is installed in the
`NCU directory.
`
`IMPORTANT Don’t move the Newton Connection Utilities software or Backups
`directory from the NCU directory. The application and Backups directory
`must remain in this location to create backup files automatically. You can
`change the location where backup files are stored from within the Newton
`Connection Utilities, using the Settings command in the Newton menu. See
`“Changing the Location of the Backups Directory” in Chapter 2, “Backing
`Up and Restoring Information.” If you’re running Windows 95, you can also

`Note: For simplicity, the instructions in this book describe using the Newton
`Connection Utilities from your computer, but you can also start the utilities
`from your Newton device. See Chapter 11, “Using the Utilities From Your
`Newton Device,” for more information.
`
`Creating your first backup
`After you establish a connection, you can make a backup of information and
`packages on your Newton device and store it on your computer.
`
`Backing up your Newton device provides a safe way to store information in
`case it gets lost or deleted by mistake. It’s a good idea to back up your Newton
`device before you import, export, or synchronize information.
`
`To create your first backup, follow these steps:
`
`1
`
`Click the Backup button in the Newton Connection Utilities window.
`
`10
`
`Chapter 1
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1027
`
`

`
`Because this is your first backup, the Newton Connection Utilities
`automatically create a full backup of all your Newton information and
`packages. If you have a storage card inserted in your Newton device,
`information on the storage card is also backed up.
`
`During the backup, a status window appears on your computer screen to
`show what information is being backed up.
`
`After a few minutes, the window disappears and the backup is complete.
`
`2
`
`Check to see the Backups directory on your computer.
`
`When you back up your Newton device, a backup file for your Newton’s
`internal memory and one for any storage card that’s inserted are created and
`placed in a directory named Backups. By default, the Backups directory is
`located in the NCU directory.
`
`For more information about backup files and directories, including how to
`change the location of the Backups directory, see Chapter 2, “Backing Up and
`Restoring Information.”
`

`
`2 Backing Up and Restoring Information
`
`The previous chapter described how to use the Newton Connection Utilities
`to create your first backup. This chapter describes how to do additional
`backups and how to restore information you’ve backed up.
`
`About backup files
`It’s important to back up your Newton information. Backup files provide a
`safe way to store a copy of information in case the original gets lost or deleted
`by mistake.
`
`With the Newton Connection Utilities you can back up all information on
`your Newton device or you can choose information to back up.
`
`The first time you create a backup, the Newton Connection Utilities back up
`all information on your Newton device (including any storage cards you’ve
`inserted) and store the information in a directory named Backups in the
`NCU directory.
`
`17
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1027
`
`

`
`Inside the Backups directory is a file with a name derived from the owner’s
`name you entered on your Newton device. This file contains the latest backup
`information. If you haven’t entered an owner name on your Newton device,
`the file is called Newton.
`
`By default, the Backups directory is located in the NCU directory. You can
`change the location of this directory. See “Changing the Location of the
`Backups Directory” later in this chapter.
`
`Backing up cards
`
`When you back up a storage card, a separate backup file is created with the
`name of the card. If you haven’t named your card, the file is called Card.nbk.
`If you back up more than one unnamed card, the backup files are named
`Card.nbk, Card2.nbk, Card3.nbk, and so on.
`Note: To avoid potential confusion and loss of information, you should name
`your storage cards. For more information on naming storage cards, see the
`user’s manual that came with your Newton device.
`
`Previous backups
`
`Every time you back up, the Newton Connection Utilities make a copy of the
`previous backup file and store it in a directory called Previous located in your
`Backups directory.
`
`For example, if the owner’s name for your Newton device is Mike Chen, the
`Newton Connection Utilities create a file named Mike_Chen.nbk the first time
`you back up. The next time you back up, the Newton Connection Utilities
`copy the original file and place it in the Previous directory within the
`Backups directory. Then the utilities create a new backup, again called
`Mike_Chen.nbk.
`
`The Newton Connection Utilities maintain a current and previous backup file
`for all information in your Newton device’s internal memory and for each
`storage card you back up.
`
`18
`
`Chapter 2
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1027
`
`

`
`Creating backup files
`You can back up all information and packages on your Newton device, or you
`can just back up selected information and packages. The following section
`describes how to back up all information. To back up selected information
`and packages, see “Backing Up Selected Information and Packages” later in
`this chapter.
`
`Backing up all information and packages
`
`Before you begin, make sure your Newton device is connected to your
`computer. For instructions, see Chapter 1, “Getting Started.”
`
`To back up all information on your Newton device, follow these steps:
`
`1
`
`On your computer, open the Newton Connection Utilities.
`
`To open the Newton Connection Utilities, double-click the Newton
`Connection Utilities icon in the Explorer.

`
`20
`
`Chapter 2
`
`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1027
`
`

`
`Backing up selected information and packages
`
`In general, it’s a good idea to back up all information on your Newton device.
`However, if you’ve only added information to one or two applications, you can
`select specific applications and information to back up. For example, you can
`choose to back up only the information in your Newton Dates application.
`
`Typically, selective backup is faster than backing up all information and
`packages. When you selectively back up information, the new information is
`added to your most recent backup file and your previous backup file
`doesn’t change.
`
`WARNING If you selectively back up, be careful when you restore
`information. You may lose information that has not been backed up.
`Apple recommends you restore only from a backup that includes all
`information and packages. See “Restoring Information and Packages”
`later in this chapter.
`
`To back up selected information on your Newton device, follow these steps:
`
`1
`
`Open the Newton Connection Utilities and establish a connection.

`
`Information you selected is restored to your Newton device. A status window
`on your computer keeps you informed of the progress.
`
`When you restore, only information and packages on your Newton device that
`correspond to information and packages in the backup file are replaced. For
`example, if your backup file contains Names and Dates, and your Newton
`device contains Names, Dates, and Notes, the Names and Dates files on your
`Newton device are replaced by the Names and Dates information from the
`backup file, but the Notes file on your Newton device is not replaced.
`
`When the restoration is complete, a message appears on your Newton screen
`asking you to restart.
`

`
`Tap Restart.
`
`Your Newton device restarts.
`Note: If you have a personal identification number (PIN) assigned to your
`Newton device, the number is not restored. You’ll need to assign a new PIN.
`For more information on assigning a PIN, see the user’s manual that came
`with your Newton device.
`
`Tips on managing backups
`The following tips can help you back up and restore files on your
`Newton device.
`m If you’re using more than one computer, you can set up a central location
`for backup files. That way, you’ll always know where the latest backup files
`are located. See “Changing the Location of the Backups Directory” earlier
`in this chapter.
`m You can copy backup files and rename them (or store them in a separate
`directory) to prevent them from being replaced by later backups. This is
`useful for managing or storing different sets of information.
