Idrive for mac os 10.4.11 online backup

Anyone with experience using this free online backup system?

I'm liking iDrive pretty well. I have 15 GB for free now. You can get 5 GB to start, and another 10 GB by giving them access to an email account with at least five working contacts. It's pretty easy to create that (without giving them your actual email account). So, for free, I'm happy.
I don't think I'm going to buy the 150 GB, though. I can't seem to iron out a kink. It has trouble following the path to my files. So it backs up everything properly, doing full backups of new stuff, only incremental backups where necessary, and skipping things already in sync. But it also picks up my user or applications folder twice by way of a second apparent path sometimes, and creates duplicate folders and files. So, I go in regularly and delete the duplicate folders from the cloud files. That's annoying. But for free, I'll live with it.
On another thread (they told me it was the wrong forum, so I moved over here) - anyway on that other thread, I've been offered two suggestions - MediaFire and DropBox.
So, maybe there are three options out there for Tiger users.

Imac-- Upgrading elements 10 to elements 12. Did successful backup of 10. When restore to 12 message said the disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup

IIMac doing upgrade of Elements 10 to Elementys 12. Did full backup of 10 on my external hard drive "MY Passport". Rec'd message backup successful. Did restore on 12 and rec'd message "The disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup". Any help suggestions?

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL

I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

When trying to back up my MBP Retina to a My Passport for Mac, I get the message: "The backup disk does not have ownership enabled."

I've used disk utility to verify and repair the disk and it checked out fine. I tried running the following commands from the terminal:
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
No luck.
At one point, I did see the "ignore ownership" checkbox was checked, but now it has disappeared from the "more info" window after I unchecked it. Not that it worked while checked.
Any other ideas?

Try the following commands from Terminal (/Applications/Terminal) to find the identifier of the volume then change the option. Here's the link that discussed the commands.
Example
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:                            Disk Image             *41.0 MB    disk2
$ sudo diskutil enableOwnership disk2
File system user/group ownership enabled

How do I format a WD 4TB Red HD for mac using ML?

I bought a 4TB WD Red internal drive and placed it into a OWC enclosure with firewire 800 ports to use as storage for my 2011 Macbook Pro. I've read about and tried various ways to format the drive for Mac. WD and Apple online support/forum pages tell me to partition the drive as 1 using Apple Partition Map. Doing that, I was able to format the drive...it seemed until I tried to copy files. It only allowed me to copy certain files. For instance, it wouldn't allow me to copy over any .wav files. So basically, I am asking how can I reformat the drive properly? WD page states that if an error occurs its not the drive but the operating system. They suggest turning off wi-fi, security, etc. to prevent the error. But it just isn't working. Anybody formatted a 4TB WD RED as an external for/with Mountain Lion? I think the idea of creating a cheaper super reliable external drive myself was naive, maybe...

Online backups on BIW systems, every update is logged?

Some years ago I was at an SAP BIW installation, they performed Oracle online backups dayly.
For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
I got to know there were some updates (not critical) not being logged in the DB, so online backups, as well as standby DB would not be as useful as on OLTP systems.
Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays? Is everything logged on a BW system? Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes? Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Thanks very much for your experience and answers !!

Hello Eva,
> For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
This behaviour is absolutely normal.
In a BW system the indexes are created / rebuild with the NOLOGGING clause, because of some performance reasons.
> Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
The easiest yes - but concurrently the worst one. He can identify the "new" indexes since the last online backup and only recreate this ones.
> Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays?
Yes the NOLOGGING clause is still used nowadays.
> Is everything logged on a BW system?Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes?
You can "deactivate" the NOLOGGING clause.. but then you can have some performance impacts in your BW load processes.
Check sapnote #442763 for the customizing.
> Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Yes, of course .. the ONLINE backup is the preferred method.
If you recover your database with the BR*Tools .. your unusable indexes are automatically rebuild.
Check sapnote #849485 for that feature.

Fetching of attached files delayed, minutes-hours in Outlook 2011 for Mac from Exchange online

Hi,
I have an annoying problem I would be grateful if someone could solve.
I run Outlook 2011 for Mac which is synced towards Microsoft Exchange online. Everything works well except when there are attached files in incoming emails. Sometimes it can take up to hours before an attached file is available (the email as such is
available immediately), however luckily it is mostly done within 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile the notification bar switch between "Awaiting synchronisation for this folder" and "Fetching attached files...". There is no actual difference between
larger and smaller files and there is also no problem sending emails with attached files, they are sent immediately.
I have tested in different locations with good connections to rule out unstable internet connection without success.
Thanks for any help with this issue!

I need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for MAC, but can not find it online.

I upgraded my MACBook Pro to Yosemite and now receive an error message that I need to reinstall Acrobat in order to run updates. However, I can not find Acrobat 9 Pro for MAC online. Please help.

That is correct Steelgrrl you will want to locate your installation media and copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.
Alternately if you purchased from Adobe directly and choose the download option at the time of purchase then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Online backup for Windows and Mac

Is there an online backup service that works with Windows and Mac and lets you use the same login? Meaning, one service, one service to pay and same login? Also, the service shouldn't bill by each desktop (as Mozy does) but instead by overall space needed.
I currently use one service for Windows and another for Mac. I'd like to consolidate everything.

That's always the risk, it's what happened to MediaMax (though in their case it was technical incompetence). They've been around for at least a year, but I can't offer any guarantees, obviously.
the MobileMe idisk might be a possible solution but it's not brilliant with Windows.
