Can I use same USB drive for Intel and PPC backup?

Hi, I have a USB hdd that was used for TV recording but failed on that so I reformatted it as Mac OS extended journaled with 6 partitions (GUID), and using SuperDuper, cloned Lion from a Macbook Air and Tiger from my eMac into different partitions, with the idea of using it as an extra backup.
Tested the USB drive on Disk Utility verify disk function and it said all 6 partitions appear OK. Can boot the MBA from the USB drive (although slow) but the eMac does not show the disk image on the USB drive as an optional restart item. I have eMac backed up on a separate Firewire drive but would like to use the USB drive as a second line of defense.
My question is, would I be able to restore from the Tiger dmg on the USB drive, given that it is GUID and not Apple partition scheme. Would I have to reformat it to Apple partition scheme. Also, how would you go about a restore from the USB drive if the eMac's OS was kaput?

You can't store a clone of an Intel-based Mac and a clone of a PowerPC-based Mac on the same drive.
That's because an Intel-based Mac can start from a GUID partition table, but a PowerPC-based Mac can only start if your USB drive is using Apple Partition Map instead of GUID. In your case, you have to buy another external drive to make a clone of the PowerPC-based Mac or the Intel-based Mac.
To change the partition map of your USB drive:
1. Open Disk Utility (it's in Applications > Utilities folder), and select your USB drive in the sidebar.
2. Go to Partition tab, and press "Options" button, where you can choose the partition map you want: GUID, MBR or Apple Partition Map. Note that you won't be able to start an Intel-based Mac from a drive that uses Apple Partition Map

Can i use my external drive for TM and files i don't want on my mac HD

my hard drive has a total of 232.57g which is not nearly enough space to save all my pictures, movies, etc. i've been using a 300g external drive to save my pictures, movies, etc. which is now full so i bought a maxtor one touch 4 750g to hopefully back up my computer using time machine, my 300g external drive, and whatever new pictures, movies, etc.
if i set up my new external drive for time machine can i still put the pictures, movies from my 300g external drive and whatever new pictures, movies, etc. on my new 750g external drive?
do i need to make a partition? if so can you tell me how?
should i not use time machine?
any information is appreciated

mac HD
capacity: 232.57g
available: 170.29g
iomega
capacity: 298.02g
available: 14.29g
one touch 4
capacity: 698.51g
available: 698.36g
thanks for the quick reply but i need to explain it better or ask, once all is backed up from my mac HD and my iomega external drive to my new one touch 4 i want to stop using the iomega since there isn't much room left on it
will i be able to add files directly to the one touch 4 without having those files saved to my mac HD like i do now?
or will TM remove my files the next time it backs up my mac HD since i won't have the iomega on anymore?

Using same External drive for iMac and iBook

Hello all,
I have a 15" FP iMac 10.2.8 and iBook 10.3.9 and a wireless Linksys router which is about 4-5 years old. All work on the Linksys network. Currently my LaCie external is hooked to the iMac.
I want to have my external LaCie accessible to both computers for storing Final Cut video files. Is this as simple as connecting the LaCie to the router? I can connect to the LaCie via the ibook through the wireless network now but for accessing video files I assume this is not sufficient; need a physical connection.
Thanks,
Al

You'd get problems. The ports are equal though.
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/firewire/topic2199.html
You could connect an Ethernet-based Hard Disk to the router but it's going to be pretty slow compared to the Firewire connection you're accustomed to. If I were you I'd just hot-swap the Firewire drive between the two Macs.

Find My Phone - can I use same user + password for 2 phones?

Just loaded the "Find My Phone" App on my new iPhone 4 and set it up. What a great tool for locating a lost iPhone. The only problem is that my wife and I have a joint mail and apple ID account.
So, my question is can I use Same user name (mail account) and password for TWO iPhone 4's (mine and wifes)? I assume that would work since each phone has a different serial number, and it seems to be ok when connected to my computer to sync each phone separately.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My phone was stolen a few days ago. It must be flat by now, I have had it locked by my service provider, Find my Phone still works but says it's in Sydney, I live in Melbourne. Is this accurate? How can it still find the phone if it's not on?

Can I use a USB drive with the Airport extreme (not the new one) for Time Machine?

I thought I heard that using USB drive for Time Machine over wifi will work with the new, tall Airport Extreme, but not with the previous model, which I have. Anybody know for sure?
thanks.

It is not recommended.. Apple says it doesn't work.. for some people it does for others it is unreliable.. do you really want unreliable backups.

Mac 101: Printing (OS X Lion)
Important:
Your OS X Lion system will either have the necessary printing software already installed, or it will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper. Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
The procedures are identical for Mountain Lion.

Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

Hi experts,
            I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
      IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
      wa_quote type ZIQMD,
      wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
TABLES
    I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
    I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
COMMIT WORK.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
TABLES
    IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
    IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    COMMIT WORK.
when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' , but iam not getting data for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
              Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.

Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp

Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)

How can I use same iTunes on iPad 64GB and iPhone 5 16 GB memory

How can I use same iTunes account on iPad 64GB and iPhone 5 16 GB memory

Just connect them your computer. iTunes will treat each device separately. Or if you mean iTunes Store account, you can choose what you download to each device, either directly from the iTunes Store or in synching from iTunes on your computer, as long as you don't have automatic downloads turned on.

Can we use IDOC_INPUT_ Message type for creating and changing the document

Hi,
I have a requirement to create or change the requisition data.
Can I use IDOC_INPUT_PREQCR01 function module for both the purpose.
OR shall I go for custom function module by using BAPI function modules to create or change the data.
Please help me in this regarding.
Answers will be rewarded.
Thank you.
Eswar

Hello Eswar
You could use the IDoc processing function module if you had the data already available in the IDoc specific format (which is unlikely). This would mean you are receiving the IDoc data from another SAP system.
Instead, check the BAPI explorer (transaction BAPI) if you can find an appropriate BAPI.

Can we use ODI with Informatica for Planning and Essbase

If we have Informatica datawarehouse, can I use ODI to integrate with Essbase and Planning ? Or do we need to buy informatica adapters for essbase/planning ?

Thank you John, for your response. We are accessing our options as to which way to go. We dont have licenses for ODI for Essbase or Planning. We have informatica expertise we would like to use them. The confusion is should we buy the adapters for informatica or licenses for ODI. I understand having ODI with Informatica would add an additional integration layer.

Can I use an external drive for a 2nd time capsule backup? Other questions too

My setup:
1 Macbook Air
1 Mac mini as HTPC
1 Mac mini as a media server (5tb and growing) with external drives.
I want to get a 2tb time capsule to back up my laptop and mac mini that i use as a HTPC. Simple enough....
Since the new gen airport extremes support external drives to a time machine back up i want to plug a CineRAID device with 4 6TB drives (12gb of storage in a RAID) and use that as a backup for my media server. Could I just plug it directly into the mac mini? Yes, but i am trying to have the lest amount of clutter possible visible. So i want to put in a closet where my router is..
So can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
Option 2:
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Also, how much space does the airport extreme support? Like i said up time I am at 5tb but its growing fast

So can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
There is conflicting advice about whether a RAID setup will work with Time Machine, so you can find information that will say that it will work and other info that will say that it will not. In general, Apple says that Time Machine must "see" the RAID drive as a single partition, but they also say that you need to check with the support folks at the drive manufacturer for more details.
The only way that you will know whether it will work or not on your network, is try it out on your network.
Please let us know about your results.
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Same as above.
how much space does the airport extreme support?
The firmware on an AirPort Extreme will support up to a 4 TB drive, but I have not tried it on a larger drive, so we'll need another user to answer on that one. Here again, it would be wise to try a few "tests" before you try to backup or transfer a large amount of data.
