Is there a way of storing files on both iCloud Drive and my Time Capsule, but not my built in Hard Drive?
I have a Mac Book Pro. I work with large video files, which I sometimes want to save on a Time Capsule - or another external hard drive, as well as the cloud.
I sometime want to access the videos when I travel - and really want a no-nonsense solution which allows me to store the videos on the external HD, but access them through the cloud when traveling - even when the power is down and my external HD at home is switched off (I live in The Bahamas, where this frequently happens.)
Any Suggestions?
You didn't have a backup of your MacBook's hard drive when it had to be replaced? If you do look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if the Doman.sites2 file is there. If it is drag it to the same folder on your new hard drive and open with iWeb. That should give you your old sites back.
If you don't have a backup then you'll have to do what QTKirt pointed out. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

Quicktime File Crashing Both Quicktime App and Finder in Mac, but Not Windows
Hi,
I have a drive full of Apple ProRes Quicktime files. Almost all of them play perfectly, except 2. Those 2 files have played in the past, but I've had problems with them. They've come back to functionality in the past, but now they are not working again and I don't understand why.
Whenever I go to open the files with Quicktime Pro 7, Quicktime X, FCP 7, Adobe Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, I get the spinning beach ball and not only does Quicktime crash, but the finder crashes as well. If I go to restart the finder, it never comes back online and I have to restart my late 2011 macbook Pro.
I've tried repairing permissions and on the Macbook Hardrive and have used Disk Utility and Disk warrior on the hardrive containing the 2 quicktime files. Nothing has solved the problem.
At first, I thought the Quicktime files might have become corrupted, but I installed Windows 7, using bootcamp, on the same macbook, hooked up the external hardrive and was able to play the quicktimes perfectly in Windows with quicktime 7 (not pro, because I don't want to buy it just for windows). So, there is some sort of incompatability between these two quicktime files and my Macboook.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?
-ScottIf you are on Windows Vista and trying to write something to
"Program Files" or its sub folders, write will not end up in the
right place as "Program Files" is protected. What ever you write
might go to a virtual store location. If that's the case try
writing to app storage folder.

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.
So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal. -
Our IMac's hard drive died and we thought great we bought a time capsule to back up the immages and files,except when we had the hard drive replaced the time capsule did not recognize the newer opperating system and would not reboot the files back,so the apple store tech loaded them into a file folder and loaded them to the main screen and erased the time capsule,the problem now is how to load this file back permenantly and watch video's that are stored,when in I Photo when I try to view video content I get a message stating that I may need to download more software to support this format.
If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem. -
Had my Hard Drive installed by someone else but when the "Do u already have a Mac?" popped up they said no. is there a way to go back so I can restore frome my time capsule? Thanks for any info!
If you type in finder search "Migration Assistant" you should be able to restore from TimeMachine backup.

Is there a way to recover files deleted from icloud?
I inadvertently deleted a Pages document from my iPhone and it has disappeared from my iPad and iCloud. Is there any way to recover it?
Deleting won't make the files erased permanently.As long as those files are not overwritten by new data, it's highly possible to recover them.Those deleted files is still stored on the hard drive, it's just invisible or inaccessible.And the most effective
way is to rely on some data recovery programs.
Try this one called Tenorshare Data Recovery. I also encountered the same trouble before.Finally this program helped me recover the file I accidentally deleted from the recycle bin successfully.
One tip here:Your files will be recovered into the recycle bin.So you'd better not to delete any other files into the recycle bin.Once the deleted files were overwritten by new deleted files,they are all historys!
You can get it from: http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/index.htm -
Is there a way copy old backups from my ext. HD to Time Capsule?
Is there a way to copy the TimeMachine files from my 250GB external hard drive to the TimeCapsule?
If so, what steps do I need to take to do this and insure that everything transfers flawlessly?
Thanks
ShimyI wouldn't try it. I suggest starting with a new backup on the Time Capsule. The first back up should be performed by Ethernet cable.
If you don't need any of the files on the old drive following a successful Time Capsule back up, just erase the drive and its files and use it for data storage. -
"ACTIVE PROCESS HAS A POSSIBLE MEMORY LEAK firefox.exe"
When I run a system analyzer for WEBROOT the results state that there is a security breach for my Firefox browser.
When I went to access my bank info I receive a message that Firefox is redirecting to a site with a bad certificate.
Is there a way to CHECK to see if I have a secure copy of Firefox? (Yes, I did install through the main site.
I TEACH technology for the public school system and have top security which updates regularly and my pc itself runs regular maintenance as well.Are there any unknown addons, and do a malware check with some different programs, unless Webroot is bashing firefox over a memory leak it had 2 years ago.

I am using a PXI chassis with 10 6115's and a 6608 counter/timer. I need to use analog triggering on one of the 6115 AI channels. The particular channel will depend on the test setup, so I can't just pick one and hard-wire it. This analog trigger will be the master timing reference for all of the boards.
However, I need to trigger the 6115's at different times (e.g., trigger three at the same time and seven at some later time) so I'm routing the AI Start Trigger from whichever is the trigger channel (one of the first 16 channels) to RTSI0. The first five counters are then GATEd on RTSI0 and the counter OUTs are hardwired to the 6115's PFI0s in groups of two. So,
basically, one of the 6115s sends AI Start Trigger to the five counters which, in turn, generate five delayed triggers that are sent to the 10 6115's.
My problem is that I can't use a zero delay on the counter, so I can't get the 6115s to trigger at the same time, if need be. Whichever one generats the analog trigger will always be slightly ahead of all of the others that I would like to trigger at the same time.
So my question is this: can I somehow force one of the 6115's to generate the AI Start Trigger across RTSI0 but not actually trigger itself until it gets the trigger back from the counter/timer? This way, the delay will still be there but all of the boards can get a simulataneous trigger if need be.
Thanks,
RGARGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

is there a way to have itunes see the ipod shuffle it worked for three months even though when you hit the itune icon it say itunes is not installed correctly. This is after you reload itunes and it say successfull install have removed and reloaded itunes at least 5 times.

Is there a way to use CC for both my desktop and laptop?
I need to use CC on my laptop when traveling and then my desktop, when I return. Is there a way to do this without purchasing two subscriptions for the one 'me'?

Assuming your subscription is still current, you are allowed to install Adobe products on two devices - namely a laptop and a desktop.
Therefore, there is no need to buy two subscriptions. Just download the Adobe CC cloud APP and sign in using your email address that you used to get the subscription. The system will recognize you as soon as you are online and the software will be activated on your machines.
Hope this helps. -
Can time capsule be used as an external hard drive for storing media
Can you use it in such a way that you put movies and music and home vidoes on there to be accessed on when on the network along with using it for backing up data. Could it be used in such a way that you can access your files when on wifi from anywhere?
TC is not designed to be a NAS.. principally it is lacking any means to back itself up. And TM cannot backup a network drive.
If you put data on it like your movies and music in raw format that is fine.. if you put your itunes or iphoto etc library on it.. you will find it is slow to start, quick to stop, stutters and has issues. Also wireless frankly is just not that good.
I am not sure how far away is anywhere?? Do you mean remote access? That is possible via btmm using icloud.
The problem is, TC is not a media player.. it is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.
How are you going to play your videos or music unless you move itunes library onto the TC?? -
I used my time capsule (1st gen) as an external hard drive to store my iTunes files and my iTunes app is on my main iMac. Now, I've decided to move those iTunes files from my external hard drive (TC) back to my iMac where my iTunes app is located. What is the best way to do this?
Is the Time Capsule the right piece of kit for the job?
Not really, no.
TC is a dumb as board hard disk in an airport extreme router. It has no media servers.. no backup.. it is slow and designed for TM target for laptops. The major one here is lack of backup. Any files you put on the TC can and will be lost at some point.. and to backup you need to have a computer connected to it with an external hard disk.. and a 3rd party backup because TM is too dumb to back up network drives.
TC is designed to spin up slow and spin down quickly at the end of backup. You will have issues when you stream media from it.
ATV needs to connect to itunes server.. not the library. You will still need a computer running. Same for lots of things.. since apple designed their system to be dependent on itunes.
The best idea is a media computer.. a mac mini is ideal. Don't need the latest greatest.. but an actual mac running itunes. Unfortunately it doesn't have large internal drives.. so it is still a bit kludgy in needing a fast external drive.. but at least you have automatic backups. -
How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something. -
Is there any way of storing audio- / video-elements in the browser cache in Safari in iOS?
Hi there,
I'm desperatly trying to find a solution for a web application that has to run on an iOS-Safari (e.g. on iPad, iPad2 and iPhone 4):
It's a web-application I wrote some time ago which lets the user search for and listen to short music samples (MP3s, all from ~100 kB to ~1.5 MB). The audio player is Flash-based, so it doesn't work on iOS-devices at the moment and I'll have to implement an alternative either in HTML 5 or with a "direct" QuickTime-object.
Both my HTML 5- and QuickTime-alternatives for iOS-devices work fine so far, but there's one major problem I can't find a solution to:
Unlike Flash and most HTML 5-capable browsers on Windows Safari on my iPad 2 won't store the audiofiles in the browsercache after loading and playing them - neither with HTML 5 audio-tags nor with a QuickTime-Object. Every time I load an audio file for playback from the server (with JavaScript-Commands, so without changing or reloading the whole page) it's downloaded again completely.
If a user listens to sample A and then to sample B, Safari forgot about having played sample A and downloads the whole MP3 again if I like to listen to it again. On a mobile device with a potentially narrow bandwith this behaviour is out of the question.
Is there a way of storing downloaded audiofiles opened by HTML 5 or QuickTime in Safari's cache so it remembers already having downloaded them - like it caches usual "web-files" like HTML, CSS or JPEG-images, or like Flash stores such objects in its local cache?
The Application Cache with a manifest-file is not an option - this only seems to work if the browser is offline, for example if the iOS-device is in "Airplane"-Mode.Yes, I watched it. It contains interesting stuff I have to admit I didn't know yet, but unfortunately I still can't find a solution to my problem:
My first attempt was trying to use the Application Cache with a manifest file - although this is not really the intended purpose for my application... I don't have a static set of files that I want to have cached or "available offline" - I just want to cache MP3s which the user has played yet.
It should be possible to use a "dynamic manifest": One that is parsed by the Apache PHP module and listing the files played so far from a PHP session - something like this:
<?php
session_start();
header("Content-Type: text/cache-manifest, charset=UTF-8");
echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
foreach($_SESSION['playedSongs'] as $song)
echo $song."\n";
?>
So whenever a song is loaded / played, I could access the PHP session with AJAX, insert the filename of the played file and manually update the manifest by calling window.applicationCache.update().
There are two problems with this:
First of all: It doesn't work. And I didn't even get to the point of trying to use a dynamic manifest:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html manifest="cache.manifest">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function playStuff(id)
if(id == 1)
window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song01.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
else if(id == 2)
window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song02.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="audio"></div><br />
<br />
<input type="button" value="playStuff(1)" onclick="playStuff(1)" />
<input type="button" value="playStuff(2)" onclick="playStuff(2)" />
</body>
</html>
The cache.manifest looks like this:
CACHE MANIFEST
song01.mp3
song02.mp3
and is properly returned from Apache as "text/cache-manifest" by adding
AddType text/cache-manifest manifest
to the .htaccess of this directory.
The Apache-logs clearly show that the Safari (respectively "AppleCoreMedia") doesn't care about the application cache when it comes to audio-files:
Safari itself seems to acknowledge the manifest and indeed preload the files:

Every file is downloaded again completely when playing it. So "AppleCoreMedia" (whatever this may be exactly, the QuickTime-plugin that is triggered by the HTML 5 audio-element I suppose?) either doesn't have access to the Application Cache or simply just doesn't realize the files in it. So if I switch my iPad to "Airplane Mode" now, the Safari is unable to access / load / play the files.
I also tried using a QuickTime-object instead of an HTML 5 audio-tag (as far as I know HTML 5 audio and video in Safari always use QuickTime?) and controlling it with something like:
document.movie1.SetURL('song02.mp3');
Nothing changes, it's just like using HTML 5 audio and everything gets downloaded again when loading/playing it.
And even if this would work there'd still be a problem:
To properly implement that I would have to load the MP3-file in the Application Cache before playing it. When doing this it seems impossible to show a "real" progress: The ProgressEvent that is fired from the Application Cache after updating it doesn't seem to provide any information about data loaded so far and the complete size of a file. It's just "File 1 from 2" and so on, and not a "real" progress where I could determine something like: "100 kB of 1.2 MB loaded" as I can with the audio-element.
All the other storage-approaches like Web SQL / Web Database or Local Storage are no help either:
I don't see any way of getting the MP3 data into Local Storage or Web Database or getting it out again to play it. The HTML 5 Canvas-element has a toDataURL()-function to produce a Base64-encoded representation and use it for storage - the Audio-element doesn't seem to have anything like this.
My last really "dirty" approach was trying to load "manually" Base64-encoded-MP3s with a combination of AJAX and PHP: A PHP-script outputs a Base64-representation of a MP3-file and is loaded by AJAX, so I could store the Base64-representation e.g. as Local Storage or in Web Database:
<?php
$infile = 'song01.mp3';
$contents = file_get_contents($infile);
$base64 = base64_encode($contents);
$audio = 'data:audio/mp3;base64,'.$base64.'';
echo $audio;
?>
I tried using the resulting AJAX responseText as the source-argument in an audio-source-tag. Suprise: It doesn't work in Safari on my iPad 2, the player just fails to load the "file", although this works fine in Chrome on Windows. Possibly a size limitation for Base64-URIs on Safari / iOS.
And again: Even if this was working in iOS/Safari I don't know of a way to determine a real progress from an AJAX-query...
The last thing I could think of is not replacing the audio- or source-tags when loading a song but leaving them in the DOM-structure, check if it's already there when a song is loaded and just add a new audio-tag if a song hasn't been loaded yet.
This solution would be my last resort: I'd have to rewrite nearly the whole application to completely operate on JavaScript / AJAX to stay on one site in the browser - else the "cached" audio data would be lost again when changing to another site in Safari.
Furthermore I think there'll be a small cache limit somewhere when doing this?
Any ideas?
