What is the normal file structure and how do I "cut"?

I just did a clean Yosemite install from a manually backed up external due to HDD issues. When I backed up the original drive I copied my user folder into a folder named"backup". When I did the new Yosemite install, I directed it it migrate my documents from that folder. Now when I click on the standard "documents" folder on the left, I get a sub folder named "backup". What should I see? My name folder myname/ or the sub folder under that like music/movies/etc.
also, how do I "cut" the folders to move them instead of copy? I tried dragging them but I have 1.8 TB used of a 3 TB drive so I get a messeage there is not enough room to copy. "Cut" is greed out when I select folders.
any input appreciated ....

How did you make the original backup?
Dragging items in the Finder is not a good way to backup - it can miss may important files and it can skip files (or fail mid process with cryptic errors).
Also how did you 'migrate' the folders back - did Migration Assistant do it for you or did you manually move the files?
Finder can 'move' items instead of copying them, but there is an inherent risk in this process if the move fails mid-way through.
Begin dragging files to another disk, the cursor will show a green plus , hold command & that green plus goes away - this will now move instead of copy. The behaviour varies depending on if you are copying onto another disk or not. press the modifiers to see what the cursor indicates (cmd, alt, will alter the behaviours).
To see a 'normal home' folder create a new user account in System preferences > Users & groups. Then login as that user. By default you have the following items in a user account…
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Movies
Music
Pictures
Public
Sites (will not exist on newer installs)
I suspect it may be simplest to delete the current botched attempt & empty the trash, go back to the original disk & re-copy the items into the correct folders. You will need to be careful though Finder is not a good tool for large file copies, and permissions can get in a mess, ask if you wan't instructions on how to repair the user permissions after the account is back in order.
Note: Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper! or even Disk Utility are better tools than Finder to use for backing up.

What is the FAT file system and how can I format my LEXAR flash drive with it?

Recently, Apple support helped me download my songs form iTunes to a LEXAR flash drive. I connected it to the USB connector in my car. My car's display said
"unsupported". My other LEXAR usb plays music perfectly. What is wrong? My car's manual says that my audio system reads and plays audio files on the USB flash memory device in MP3, WMA, AAC formats. (AAC format files recorded with iTunes only.) How do I correct this problem?

Reformatting the drive will completely erase it so make sure you have copies of the files.
FAT format is an older non-Mac format but is still found on plenty of things such as flash drives. It's the one format that both Macs and Windows computers can fully use but it has limitations outside small-scale use. Your Apple person must have reformatted your drive to Mac format which wasn't very smart of the person since almost nothing except Apple products can work with Mac format. Are you sure you explained how you intended to use the drive, or did you just ask the person how to put files on there?

What's the FPGA step size and how to calculate it?

Hi there,
I inherited an vi with problem in it. It's basically reading the binary file then display it. So the vi reads the binary file by using Read From Binary File, the output data from this function then sends to FPGA after multiply a number (32767/10). But unfortunately I got a wrong output. The final output value for some reasons looks got attenuated. People told me maybe it's related to the FPGA step size, so I want to know what is the FPGA step size and how to calculate it. Can someone answer my questions here?
Thanks in advanced!!!

Hi Weny,
It sounds like you are trying to find out the output resolution of your FPGA module. It would be helpful if you provided what FPGA module you are using in your tests so we know what information to provide. For instance, the R Series Manual provides information on how to calculate the required DAC output code to generate the desired output voltage. You should also try to keep the accuracy of your device in mind. The analog output signal you are generating will be subject to gain, offset, and noise errors. You can use the specifications sheet (such as the R Series Specifications) of your device to determine what accuracy your board will have. The specs also provide information on the resolution of the board. You can search ni.com for the manual and specifications for your particular device if you are not using R Series.

Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

What is the Weigh Bridge System and How to Implement

Hi All,
I have a requirement from a client to interface with Weigh Bridge systen and to generate the delivery order record.
Could someone explain to me what is the Weigh Bridge system and how it is being implemented in SAP.
Thank you!
Regards,
Yvonne

Hi,
this is to inform you that,
this weigh bridge concept is very simple its an interface with other or software which the company which is implementing SAP.
for EG:
my company is cement company in production plant you will be getting raw materials in tons and out going finished products will also be in tons.
in that plant there is weigh bridge where in flow of materials will be wieghed and if it matches to the paper which is getting along with then he ticks OK other wise NOT.
the above case applies to out going of goods in tons also.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help and providing this link. I'd actually already looked at that before, but I don't understand how it clarifies what the default identity store is. The relevant part is this, if I understand correctly:
OPSS initializes the identity store service with the LDAP authenticator chosen from the list of configured LDAP authenticators according to the following algorithm:
1.    Consider the subset of LDAP authenticators configured. Note that, since the context is assumed to contain at least one LDAP authenticator, this subset is not empty.
2.    Within that subset, consider those that have set the maximum flag. The flag ordering used to compute this subset is the following:
    REQUIRED > REQUISITE > SUFFICIENT > OPTIONAL
    Again, this subset (of LDAPs realizing the maximum flag) is not empty.
3.    Within that subset, consider the first configured in the context.Step (1) will match 2 external AD's and the built-in WLS LDAP, so 3 in total.
Step (2) will still match 3 in total, as they are all 'sufficient'. In my setup, I need them all to be 'sufficient'.
Step (3) is a step I don't understand. What is "the first configured in the context"? What context? Do they mean the one that was first created? In that case I can't change the default, right?
Or do they mean "the first in the list on the WLS Console"?
Best regards,
Ludovic

What is the difference between Structure and Work area

Hi Guys,
What is the difference between Structure and work area?
Are they same with different names?
Thanks,
mini.

hey buddies,*
i had this same doubt for a long time and i have my finds with me ie wa and structure are the same but wa can hold a single record but structure cannot hold data in it but according to the previous posts folks say structure too holds data as wa does but i guess when debugging wa holds data and structure doesnt hold bcoz i tried.
types : begin of str_mara,
             matnr type mara-matnr,
            ernam type mara-ernam,
            end of str_mara.
data it_mara type table of str_mara.
select matnr ernam from mara into it_mara where matnr = '100-101'.
*********************if folks say wa = structure,this should work,isn't it?*********************************
loop at it_mara into str_mara.
write:/ str_mara-matnr , str_mara-ernam.
endloop.
*******************but it throws an error saying that str_mara is not a wa*******************************
i may not be correct too plz let me know if i'm wrong

Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back

I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.

What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you !

What are the benefits of Yosemite, and how do I use them?

I upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac. I can see it looks different, but I don't know what the benefits are or how to access them. I only upgraded because I have been told that I should use the newest version of software, as that is what is being maintained and improved. Is there a site or a document somewhere that will describe the changes in Yosemite, and how to utilize them to the best advantage?

The easiest graphical way I would recommend is to search for an example "whats new in yosemite" on youtube, I am sure you will find lots of videos on that.

What is the output of Maya and how does Java use it in animation.

What type of software is used and what input and output files are created in the animation process?
From what I read:
Maya is used to create polygon structures, perform rigging, and it attaches surface textures which are made in Photoshop. Then Maya creates key images or positions of the animation. Next Maya exports an image and a data file to do the neccessary transformations. Finally, Java uses the image and the data file to paint the images and their position based on the game logic's use of the data file.
What have I missed or described wrong?
I also need more clarity on the input files to Java and how Java stores and uses these files. The use of Maya images and files seems different. Is Maya or Java doing the transformations or are they both doing them? How does this work?
Thanks for your help
Jon

Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.

Hi,
The '''places.sqlite''' file in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] stores the bookmarks and the history. This is what you see in '''Bookmarks''' ('''Alt''' + '''B''') and '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') or in the window of '''Show All History''' ('''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' +'''H''') and '''Show All Bookmarks''' ('''Ctrl''' + Shift + '''B''').

What is the Other yellow stuff - and how do I get rid of it?

I have .18 audio, .02 photos, .01 apps and .21 OTHER? I dont know what that is or how to get rid of it. I saw where some responses said to go to the back or restore factory settings. My question is on what and how? I am very computer illiterate and getting frustrated! Now it is not much, but I don't want it to cause a problem down the road. Also, if my itouch is a 8G, why does it show only 6.5 GB as the capacity? Thanks for any help!!

To reduce "other" sometimes a restore from backup works but many times a restore to factory defaults is required. I would not be concerned until ti gets to 1 GB though.
The difference between the 8 GB iPod total capacity/storage capacity and 6.5 is due to the iOS taking up some of that difference by a lot of it is du to the difference of how BG is calculated. See:
