How does this work with multiple systems backing up with time machine

I was wondering as Apple states that this will do multiple time machine backups as in multiple computers, how does this do this? I am assumng that it will require me to partition the srive in the unit as multiple partitions. 1 for each time computer with time machine running.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to interpret your answer so I'll ask for clarification.
Do you mean that the backup belonging to each user will be protected by filesystem perms? In other words Alice's backup will be owned by Alice and only readable by her, ditto for the hyperthetical Bill?
I guess in other words, does Time Machine preserve file ownership perms?

  • HD installation, how does this work with installing software?

    Something I was missing, is an explanation about ho wto get the new harddrive working. Maybe it is really very simple, but;
    If you insert a new unformatted harddrive, how can you start up the Mac and insert the CD with the operating system? Surely, if the harddrive isn't formatted, the Mac wn't start up, and if it doesn't start up, surely you cannot insert the CD with the operating software?
    Are there any other activities I need to do to install the harddrive? e.g. format it using an external bay, or something like that?
    Also, what type of harddrive should I go for? Standard IDE HDD? How about SATA or SATAII, will that work with this iMac (G5, 1.8GHz, 20", non-iSight)?

    Yes, you could use it. The owner of a copy under a Single User licence (the norm) can install one copy of the OS on one machine. It is implied therefore that the seller has uninstalled any previous installation. This is the seller's concern not yours.
    However I would be wary about buying the latest Mac OS X 10.5 from ebay, when this product is still available new from an AppleStore. The trap could be on ebay that they are selling machine specific disks, known by their grey colour, which are not the Retail versions and most likely will not install on your computer.
    In short, if you want a Leopard disk buy it new from Apple and avoid that potential hazard.

  • How does airplay interact with Time Machine?

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro, but the 256GB of flash storage is not going to be enough for my projects and media.  My iTunes library has become pretty extensive, so I'm wondering if I'll be able to stream to my TV the content in my iTunes using Time Machine in combination with Apple TV?  Anyone have this set up?

    Time Machine is software that backs up the contents of your Mac.  You will not be able to use those backups for everyday use to stream media over your network.
    Suggest that you add another external hard drive and move your iTunes library to that drive.
    Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and the contents of the external drive. So, you have "originals" on one drive and "backups" on another. If one drive fails, then you at least have a copy on the other drive.

  • How does lion operate with time machine?

    Before downloading Lion, I have an external hardrive which updates automatically via Time Capsule. On Lion does Versions do the same thing and/or is there any problem between operating Time Capsule and Versions at the same time?

    No "versions"does not do the same thing as TM. There should be no issue running versions and your TM backup in Lion.

  • No access with SP Designer 2010 after change to FBA and Windows at the same time - Does this work with SP 2013

    Hi All,
         It seems you can't use SharePoint Designer 2010 to open a site if you have both forms and Windows Auth selected.
    Is there any way around this if i want to use the 2 at the same time?
    How does this work with SharePoint 2013 as i would be doing some migrations?
    Cheers in Advance

    Hi,
    As I understand, you encountered the issue after you selected both FBA and Windows Authentication at the same time.
    As I test, I can open the SharePoint 2010 site using FBA and Windows Authentication by SharePoint designer 2010. When you open the site first,
    you will get a dropdown menu where you can choose between the 2 authentication mechanisms.
    After you choose one of them, you can open the site.
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=40B702A9FB117DD!136&authkey=!ABtMg5n3OtPakCg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cPNG
    When I open the SharePoint 2013 site using FBA and Windows Authentication by SharePoint designer 2013, I also get
    a dropdown menu where I can choose between the 2 authentication mechanisms. I can open the site after I choose one of them.
    So I think there are some other reasons to cause the issue.  
    Check these things below:
    1. Check if you have the permission to open the site in SharePoint designer (Site Permission > Permission Level in ribbon > Click the permission you belongs to > Ensure Use Remote Interfaces is selected).
    2. Check if you have enabled the SharePoint designer to open the SharePoint site. (Select the web application hosting the site collection using the FBA and windows authentication >Central Administration website > General Application
    Settings > SharePoint Designer > ensure Enable SharePoint Designer
     is selected).
    3. Is there any error when you open the site in SharePoint Designer? If there are any errors, could you please provide it here for further research?

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

    It should be added either to your iTunes account, or possibly to your credit card if the purchase was made on with it.
    How long ago did you get the email ? It may take 48 hours for it to appear - if it's been longer than that and you can't see it on your iTunes balance (and you've tried logging out and back into the account to see if the balance updates) nor on your credit card then try contacting Support again, and include your case number if you have one.

  • Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

    Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

    You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
    However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • How does Remote work with Apple TV?

    How does Remote work with Apple TV?
    1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
    OR
    Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
    (If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
    Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
    2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
    thank you in advance, Tom

    Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

  • I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud.

    I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!

    iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
