Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?
Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.
More information on these topics can be found here:
How do I set up Time Machine to a shared drive on another Mac?
How do I set up Time Machine to a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme?

E7 - File Manager Map Remote/Network Drives
Hello Nokia,
I am using Nokia E7. I found this deature where in you can map a remore WEBDAV address drive to your Nokia File manager. I have accounts with skydrive, box, drivehq ets. I tried to map the WebDav address and provided the login details. The icon does show me the n/w drive. But when I connect, nothing happens. Can you help me? Is there a step by step document/guide which shows us how this can be done? The user manual provided with E7 does not have all these details!!
The phone is really sophisticated but the user guide is really bad!!
Regards,
Solved!
Go to Solution.Even I'm in India and using without problems, checked my tweets just now using Nokia social. If you are so particular about using that better install it again by downloading the .sis file from beta labs or you've got many free alternatives twitter clients like tweets60, socially, twimgo etc. For chat you've got Nimbuzz which won't affect network drives.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks. -
Zenwork 7 app to backup file normal.dot to network drive
I'm attempting to build a simple zenwork app that backs up the file normal.dot from C:\Documents and Settings\NWUSERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
The file no matter what will not copy to the network.
I have succussfully copied other files to the same network drive but for some reason the normal.dot will not copy
Any suggestion(s) would be most appreciated

Antivirus? Also check that the file is not zero bytes

Novell has a new enhancement request system,
or what is now known as the requirement portal.
If customers would like to give input in the upcoming
releases of Novell products then they should go to
http://www.novell.com/rms
Thanks for suggestion
A) the file is not zero bits and
B) I disabled the antivirus software
and my zen app will still not copy the normal.dot file but it will copy another generic file from the same place where my normal.dot file is located
Again tanks for the suggestion

UTL_FILE - Write to a file on a mapped network drive
Hello,
I am trying to get the UTL_FILE package to write a file to a mapped network drive on
Windows NT. We have the following definition in the init<SID>.ora file pointing to the
network drive:
UTL_FILE_DIR=v:\hawkrpt
Here is the code to write to the file:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkgUtlFileTest AS -- package spec
PROCEDURE isp_UtlFileTest ( vcDir IN VARCHAR2,
vcFileName IN VARCHAR2,
vcOpenType IN VARCHAR2,
vcMessage1 IN VARCHAR2 );
END pkgUtlFileTest;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkgUtlFileTest AS -- package body
PROCEDURE isp_UtlFileTest ( vcDir IN VARCHAR2,
vcFileName IN VARCHAR2,
vcOpenType IN VARCHAR2,
vcMessage1 IN VARCHAR2 ) IS
-- vcDir is the utl file directory
-- vcOpenTpye is the open type a = append, w = write or r = read
-- vcFileName is any file name you want.
-- vcmessage is the entry you want placed into the file
vcUtlFile UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
IF LOWER(vcOpenType) = 'a' OR LOWER(vcOpenType) = 'w' THEN
vcUtlFile := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(vcDir, vcFileName, vcOpenType);
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(vcUtlFile, vcMessage1);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(vcUtlFile);
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('no_data_found');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('OTHER ERROR' );
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL ();
END isp_UtlFileTest;
END pkgUtlFileTest;
Here is the code to execute the stored procedure:
Begin
pkgUtlFileTest.ISP_UTLFILETEST('v:\hawkrpt','test.txt','w','This is a test');
End;
When the stored procedure is executed, the following error is returned:
UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
Can someone tell me how to get the UTL_FILE package to write a file to a network drive
on a Windows NT server?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
MikeDid you restart the database after changing the init.ora parameter? Make sure that you have this new value in v$parameter view.

I have bought a photoshop elements and have installed it on my MacBookPro. I have just bought an iMac and what to install on this computer as well. The iMac does not have a disc drive. I have copied the file onto a remote hard drive and tried to install but it thinks I have a pirate copy. What can I do?
If you click the link in my first post in this thread, then click "still need help? Contact us" it takes you to a page that looks exactly like the page where you started, but isn't. Select PSE for the program you want help with, click "Activation and Signing In" for the problem area and you will see this:

I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?
I guess if stolen or lost it would protect my "stuff", and if I'm travelling would protect my privacy.
You must understand the purpose and implications of encryption before deciding whether to use it.
Encryption locks your data with a password. If you forget that password, the data is lost beyond any chance of recovery. Neither Apple nor anyone else will be able to help you recover that data if you don't know the password.
By the same token, the password must be strong enough to provide the security you want. For example, if you're the potential target of industrial espionage by a government or large corporation, you need the strongest possible password. To create and manage such a password safely is a task in itself, not to be undertaken lightly.
If you're only concerned about casual snooping by someone with no special skill, a weak, easily-remembered password is appropriate.
But regardless of the strength of the password, if you lose it, the data is gone forever.
Another point to remember is that if you encrypt your data on one storage device, you must also encrypt it on all other storage devices that would be accessible to the same attacker. Otherwise the data isn't protected. For example, if you keep your computer and your backup drive in the same room, and the internal drive of the computer is not encrypted, then there's no point in encrypting the backup drive. -
I am looking to turn my iPad into a portable device to store and view multiple files transferred from my pc. I have tried some apps but it does not support multiple sub folder transfers. Any suggestions please?
I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?
This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored. -
I have saved My Google Chrome bookmarks as HTML and want to import them into my mozilla bookmarks, when I go to import HTML it seems to load something but when I go back to check my bookmarks in mozilla they are not there. I would like to use mozilla more often then Chrome so I need please help keeping my Chrome bookmarks.
@Carolyn:
Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
@andy:
“Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
After deleting (before starting Safari) it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
- are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
- are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple. -
Suddenly I've started getting the error "The files are on a volume that does not support Trash. Would you like to permanently delete the item?.

LR 5.6,

Any idea?
Please Help Me...
Thanks in advance
JoseThis is how I solved it, thanks to combined information posted on forums:
1. Got a new external hard drive formatted for Mac (I was using read-only Windows from my PC)
2. Created a folder in new external drive >imported to LR->send to trash- empty trash
3. The above was still not working until I noticed one day magically the missing picture icon started to show up in LR
4. I went to the "set as rejected"pictures> locate missing pic (and nearby ones)
5. Selected the pics -photo>remove> delete from disk
Done!!!
Thanks to the hours spent on searching different threads, and to the relentless users because LR never provided any kind of support or formal response to solve this by just letting users to getting lost in frustration . -
''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/918473''
I would like to make one static copy of Firefox, so I can restore it if I have a hard drive crash, or if I want to upgrade my internal disk, or if I want to have a duplicate on another replacement computer.Hi tchmielewski,
You should look into [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync Firefox Sync]. I think it will do everything that you are asking for. This will allow you to have all of your Firefox preferences and settings shared across multiple computers.
You could also create a backup on a USB drive in case of catastrophic failture. I would suggest that you back up your personal information and bookmarks using the article [[Backing up your information]].
Hopefully this helps! -

I have an audio book in itunes. I would like to "Cut" part of a chapter and "paste" it as an audio file. Can I do that?
The file extension is .au but the logo looks like a soundtrack pro file.
Yes, they are labeled in order b001au to b00410.au
The great majority are 1.1 Mb but some are smaller. There are 410 files and I took a sampling here and there.
When I go to info it tells me that it is a neXT sound file.
Thanks, John -
I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3. I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device. Anyone know how I can do this?
Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
