Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • TM backup: can I use two drives to back up data on two other drives?

    Hi to all!
    I have with me a 1 TB/ Thunderbolt EHD [external hard drive], a Lacie 2 TB/FW, EHD, a Seagate 2 TB/ 2 USB, EHD, a Seagate 3 TB/ 2 USB, EHD and [to be purchased] a Seagate 2 TB/ 2 USB, EHD.
    I mainly use my Mac for making HD videos using FCPX.
    I am planning to use these drives in the following manner as indicated by the table below:
    Drive:
    a
    1 TB,
    Thunderbolt,
    Buffalo
    b
    2 TB/ FW
    LaCie
    c
    2 TB/ 2 usb
    Seagate
    d
    3 TB/ 2 usb
    Seagate
    e
    2 TB/ 2 usb
    Seagate backup
    [to be purchased]
    f
    500 GB, internal
    Macintosh HD
    Partitions
    1
    1
    1
    2
    1
    USAGE:
    editing videos, one
    active project at a time
    mainly for camera
    archives, music files,
    FCP events, projects
    and exported movies
    same as the LaCie,
    as a backup of data
    intend to have 2
    partitions of 1.5 TB each;
    one partition for personal
    data and the other partition
    to back up data on the
    Thunderbolt [current project]
    intend to use this for
    TM back up of my
    Mac's internal HD
    applications, documents etc.
    backed up by:
    one partition of 'd'
    by the 2 TB Seagate
    backup 'e'
    I would like to know whether I could do these things:
    Can I use the TM backup feature in this manner of using 2 separate drive/partition [e/d] to back up data on 2 other drives [f and a]?
    Further, I am manually copying files from 'b' drive to 'c' drive; without incurring further expense, can I ensure that whatever I write onto the LaCie [b] gets copied to the 'c' drive automatically?
    Any thoughts, suggestions and instructions in these matters are welcome.

    EXT. DRIVES:
    a
    1 TB
    Thunderbolt
    b
    2 TB/FW
    [LaCie]
    c
    2 TB/ USB
    [Seagate]
    d
    3 TB/USB
    [Seagate]
    e
    2 TB/USB
    [Seagate]
    USAGE:
    scratch disk
    [planning to have
    only one active
    project at a time]
    camera footage
    FCPX events, projects
    and completed movies
    Same as the LaCie,
    as it's backup
    To be used as TM
    backup for my Mac's
    internal and also to
    the scratch disk.
    Planning to have it in
    2 partitions: to have
    a 'secondary' copy of
    my Mac's IHD on one
    partition and to have
    personal 'net retrievable'
    data on the other partition.
    'MY
    OBSERVATIONS'
    my projects are usually
    less than 10 minutes
    and hence I trust that
    work would be fast and in
    case of drive failure, I
    would be losing only
    one project.
    I am importing camera footage
    primarily into this drive and
    being FW, data transfer is
    fast.
    Am manually copying
    files from the LaCie
    onto this.
    This drive is not a
    brand new one, but
    has been given to me
    by the company's
    agent as a replacement
    to my earlier 2 TB drive
    which had failed.Hope
    this also will not fail!
    Because of the 'uncertain'
    performance of the
    3 TB Seagate, I intend
    to have a copy of my
    Mac's IHD in one
    partition. I intend to place only
    such data upon the other
    partition that I will not be
    greatly affected should the
    drive fail.
    If you can analyse this plan and give your insight upon this matter, I will be immensely happy.
    Further, if this proposed use of the 3 TB Seagate is okay with you, I need to know how to remove the Thunderbolt from doing it's temporary role of TM backup and how to coronate the 3TB Seagate as its successor.
    FYI, I would be switching off TM from functioning whenever I am editing video; I would be switching it on only after a full editing session.
    Another question on my mind is this: do I need to partition the drive 'e' at all?

  • Can i Use two qery hints in one SQL(Oracle)?

    Hi,
    Can i Use two Query hints in one SQL(Oracle)? USE_HASH and No_Merge
    Thanks

    user10916886 wrote:
    Can I use like
    /*+ USE_HASH(X,Y) NO_MERGE(X) */
    will this work?Not really: NO_MERGE relates to mergeable views, not base tables. So whilst the USE_HASH may result in a hash join between the tables X and Y, USE_MERGE will be ignored for X.
    As hoek says, however, HINTs should be a last resort only, and if they're to be used at all you're best to stay with those that don't involve explicit objects, like ALL_ROWS, FIRST_ROWS_10, etc.
    user10916886 wrote:
    Im my database, if i don't use query hints. The expalin plan uses Nested loops, hence the query takes a lot of time.You would be better trying the ALL_ROWS hint here, instead of USE_HASH.
    Edit
    The optimizer, however, will have chosen NESTED LOOPs where it did because it believed that to be the most efficient data retrieval path with the information that it had to hand. So, if your statistics are comprehensive and up-to-date, yet the optimizer is continually opting for the less efficient plan, there's something else wrong, and HINTs are only masking that problem in the short-term.

  • I have two phones, one (4S) with Bell in Canada, the other (5, soon enough) with ATT in the US. Since I spend more time in Canada, I'd rather the 5 up there. Can I swap the sim cards? Neither phone is unlocked.

    iphone 5 will use nanosim instead of microsim so that one won't work
    you could check you with carrier to see if they will give you another sim though but I dunno if the ATT 5 will have the right data bands so you might not get LTE or w/e

  • Can I use two SIM cards with one iPhone5s? ie, switch phone numbers and plan, same carrier?

    I live where there is no Cell service in remote BC Canada.  Fortunately, we have highspeed Internet!  Thus, I have been using an iPod Touch 4th gen & Skype to make all my calls for a 2 or 3 years.  I travel a couple of times a month into cell coverage.  I plan to use my iPhone 5s on a iPad Data Package when in cell coverage.  I called and asked bell if I could do so if I bought an unlocked iPhone.  I was told yes, but recieving calls would be very expensive.  I have email notification and a phone number where voice mails are emailed to me, so am able to do without recieving calls in most cases.  However, certain situations lead to frustrating telephone tag.
    Just today, after receiving my unlocked iPhone 5s I realised that Bell also has a pay as you use plan that is very reasonably priced for cell calls only.  If I was able to switch SIM cards I could get both plans.  Thus if recieving a call or placing one was important I could just switch my SIM card.  Could that be done reasonably and practically?
    I would appreciate an answer to this question!
    Scott

    Let me see if i got this straight. You have two iDevices. One is an iPad, which uses 3G Data. The other one is an iPhone 5s. You plan on purchasing two plans, One thats has only 3G Data, and the other one that has only phone calls, and messages.The answer to your question is Yes. At least i done that with t-mobile USA. If your iPad is compatible with nano-sim cards, yes you can. If not, you will have to buy an iPad with nano-sim such as the iPad mini 3G. This is totaly possible.

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

  • How can I align two different text row in the same table in two different way (one centered and the other one on the left)?

    Hi,
    I want to center two different text row that are in the same table but one on the center and the other one on the left. I put a <span> tag hoping that it has been overwhelmed the table's class properties The .bottomsel's font-family and the .Cig84's font-family and colour work but the text-align don't: they're both on the left.
    These are my source and CSS codes:
    Source:
    <table width="600" border="0">
      <tr>
        <td class="bottomref"><p><span class="bottomsel">| <a href="index.html" target="_self">Main</a> | <a href="about.html" target="_self">About</a> | <a href="clients.html" target="_self">Clients</a> | <a href="contact.html" target="_self">Contact</a> |</span><br />
          <span class="credits">Credits: <span class="Cig84">Cig84</span></span></p></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    CSS:
    .bottomsel {
      text-align: center;
      font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    .credits {
      text-align: left;
    .Cig84 {
      color: #F00;
      font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;

    Use paragraph tags with CSS classes.
    CSS:
         .center {text-align:center}
         .left {text-align:left}
    HTML:
    <table width="600" border="0">

        </td>
      </tr>

  • I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

    I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

    You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
    BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

    Before going ahead on this you should definitely check with Apogee as I think they do not recommend using their interface(s) in an Aggregate device.
