1000 Questions that should have been answered in a User's Manual

My Time Capsule came with instructions on how to set it up but nothing on how to use it successfully, nor do I find anything like that here except for those few issues that someone has already asked about. I'm a longtime Mac user (since about 1983) but not a computer "expert". So I've got this device I hoped I could use much like an auxilliary drive, storing and retrieving large files to/from it as well as using it for backup. But I find it doesn't work the way I expected.
1. I did a dumb thing and interrupted my initial backup--because I ejected the Time Capsule by accident. I read the short bit here about what to do if that happens and it seemed like I could just start over so I did. Right now, backup appears to be proceeding. There is a drive image that appeared on my desktop entitled "Backup of (computer)". I don't know why that's there or whether it will go away when the backup is finished or what to do with it if it doesn't. I double checked to make sure I have selected the Time Capsule as my backup destination in Time Machine and so far as I can tell I have.
2. Is there a way to mount the Time Capsule drive on my desktop and/or use it for data storage other than backup? I got the 1 TB model but the drive I want to back up is only 100 GB so I have far more room than I should need for backups and expected to be able to use that space to store video files etc.
3. Should I ever need to access the files "backed up" to the Time Capsule drive, at this point I don't think I even know how to copy them to my computer's drive since "drag and drop" doesn't seem to work and I don't know how to mount the TC drive to my desktop.
4. I have an auxilliary Firewire drive hooked up to my computer but it is "greyed out" in Time Machine--apparently not available for backing up--whereas USB2 drives similarly connected are available. What's with that? Any way to back up my firewire drive?
My bottom line is there needs to be a users' manual covering all this and more but I hope someone here can provide a few of the answers I need.

I am not the computer expert too, try to share some of the experience.
1: When the Time machine is working with Time Capsule, the "Backup drive" appear and it will disappear after the Time machine finished it job. You do not need to brother that
2: Once you connected to Time Capsule, you should see a network drive in your Finder under "Shared". That's the one you can access to drag and drop thing into. However I think you better wait until the initial Time machine backup finished before you put else things into the Time Capsule.
3: Are you refer to the Time Machine back up file in your Time Capsule? To use that backed up files you need to open Time Machine to reveal back your old file, not to access that directly.
4: I can't help that.
I do agree that the Time Capsule user manuel is very bad in it information.

  • Open PO items that should have been already delivered

    Hi,
    is there a transaction where you can see the open PO items that should have been delivered already up to a certain date? If a PO has several scheduling lines and also several confirmations were entered for the scheduling lines only quantities should be displayed were the delivery date is due (based on the selection date/usually the current date) on no GR was made so far.
    I tried already ME2N with selection parameter WE101 but this shows all open items (in past and future).
    And a problem I have in general is, that I dont see a direct link between the scheduling lines and the confirmations.
    Cheers
    Mathias

    ME2L gives the same result. I dont want to see the delivery schedules that are in the future but only the ones that are overdue (delivery date in the past and no GR received).
    I checked ME2V, as I did not know it. But this is for warehouse people I guess. It shows with volume/weight info what is expected as GR per day on document level.

  • Why does the iPad ask me questions that I have ever answered to answer for a purchase?

    I am having trouble purchasing music because the iPad keeps asking me to answer questions I had never been asked and don't have answers to.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • After factory reset, cannot build the Recover CDs that "should have been burned"

    I get an error in RRMEDIA.
    Reading some of the things about uninstalling Client Security and updating Rescue & Recovery, I'm not sure I want to
    do that.
    I learned today that if I turn off compatibility for the SATA I get the  0x0000007b  after the factory rebuild.
    Turn on compatility and the computer "WHEW" comes up.
    Should I even worry about making the CDs or just let R&R attempt recover on a 3.2 year old T60?
    Thanks for any input.
    Carver Smith

    The recovery CDs simply make a copy of the recovery partition on your HDD, so it sounds like you may have a couple of unrelated issues.  I'd try to re-load from the recovery partiion and hope for the best!  If it doesn't work, you'll just have to buy a set of recovery CDs.

  • This is a question that hasn't been answered yet

    IPhone 5c
    I have just received my new phone yesterday,
    i chose the latest back up and waited for it all it restore.
    It finally did it but not all photos were there.. I've heard that
    it erases them out of photo stream after 30 days but these
    we're my holiday photos from 3 week ago. It said that
    i needed more storage to finish the back up so I thought
    it might have something to do with that so I bought some
    more. It backed up another time from an earlier date but
    still no recent pictures. It's weird because it's backed up
    some photos from the holiday but missed out a lot of
    photos before the ones that have backed up But also
    missed a lot after the ones that have backed up from
    the holiday. Please help me get all my pictures back!!

    Hi,
    Is there any way of accessing this?If it wasnt shared then no one car run it.
    Maybe using Oracle Discoverer Administrator?Yes, you can use the administrator and log in as the EUL owner, then you can export the workbook into eex file and import it again but with the "change ownership" flag on.
    Alternately you can open the user, share the report and close it again.
    another option is to go to a cloned environment alter this user, use the user (in the cloned env) to login into discoverer desktop,
    then you can save the report as DIS file.
    once you saved the report locally you can login as yourself to the production and run the report from the local path. after it is opened you can save it to the DB.

  • How can I reinstall the earlier version that should have been replaced by the new version but has been wiped off of my 10.4.11 and left me with only sufari mac

    I attempted to install the new version of Firefox as it would not load my Hotmail account. I clicked 'replace' only to be told the new version could not be installed; I now have no Firefox at all to run on my (10.4.11) Mac Book Pro.
    Can anyone let me know if I can reload my previous version of Firefox to use for internet purposes?
    Thanks.

    Current Firefox versions require an Intel processor, which you have, '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8, you have OSX 10.4.11.
    *OSX 10.5 and lower version numbers are no longer supported by Apple, you no longer receive stability or security updates from Apple, and using those old versions expose you to significant security risks online.
    *Additionally, more and more software will not work with the old versions of OSX.
    *See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-10-4-or-powerpc
    *See - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0/system-requirements/
    One suggestion in the first article above is to continue using Firefox 3.6.28 (no longer supported) and could expose you to known security risks online while using Firefox 3.6.28. <u>All Firefox versions that will run under OSX 10.5 and lower make you vulnerable to attack by hackers when you are online.</u>
    Your best option:
    #upgrade OSX to 10.6 or 10.7 or 10.8
    #<s>try using TenFourFox, a third-party build of Firefox for older OSX versions ('''''may not take away the associated risk of using the older OSX versions''''')
    #*See - http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    #*Plugins not supported (extensions are supported), and there are options on this page as to how to install replacements for Adobe Flash and Quicktime, if you use those Plugins - https://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported</s>

  • The best glitch that should have been a feature on BB10

    What do you see that is common on these screen shots, that you would not normally see while switching screens, switching apps, etc..
    Yes, Date and Carrier info. I was a glitch, and was stuck in my screen. Until I went into settings by a full swipe from top, then it never came back.
    I wish there was an option to enable that to be on all the time.. along with name of the SSID connected to.

    I guess BlackBerry figures as long as you're the owner of the phone and you see power bars in the top right, you probably already know what carrier you're with.  As for the date, I have my calendar icon on my front page and it always shows the current date.
    I'm just makin' conversation here.  Your points are valid ones.
    Cheers.

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions
    Go to appleid.apple.com and click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email.
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side. Then underneath the security questions click on the link that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions. 
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then you will need assistance from Apple Account Security. Follow this procedure:
    click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later. 
    Next, go to getsupport.apple.com. If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services'.
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.  Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
    Regards.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107  I am using a windows based system

    If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative  application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application.  Then install CS6 and use your CS6  serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for.   CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates.  Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6.  Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...

    1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
    2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Hi, new ipad2 user. Recieve some emails that should have images but in their place are question marks. any advice on how to fix this would be great. thanks alot..brad

    On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
    You can also try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How see which questions have been answered?

    I currently have a quiz with ten random questions from a single pool of twenty.
    Currently I have a custom offline LMS running on a local server which displays the InteractionID of all ten of the questions that have been answered as well as the answers - it then goes on to display them graphically on one single page, this can then be printed.
    Due to reliability issues and necessary access rights with the local server I'd like to build this function into Captivate.
    I'd like to create a single page at the end of the quiz that shows the InteractionID (or some similar unique tracer) of the ten questions which have been answered by the candidate. Coupled with whether they were answered correctly or not. This could then be printed out or saved as necessary.
    Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? I realise that the randomisation feature certainly complicates things a bit. Currently my script hooks on at the end of the quiz when the 'send results as email' button is pressed. The information must be carried through Captivate somehow, I just need a way to call it up on that final page. Could I go about it using some variety of advanced action or some such?
    Many thanks.

    Hmmmm. That's a pain. I've checked the internal system variables also and found nothing. It's a real pain.
    Do you know of any way of exporting non-system internal variables outside the programme? Currently I am exporting internal system variables outside of the programme using a capture hook on the 'send email' button. This then proceeds to export the selected system variables to a back-end database server.
    It is a pretty messy way of doing things as you can imagine, but from there I can chop, change and sort the data as I, or more importantly my customer, sees fit. I am having a problem in that using this method the user needs to enter their name and other details twice. Once at the start of the programme [again, customer's requirement] and once at the insert stage.  If I can't get the whole project done in captivate then i'll have to keep using this method, but I need to come up with a way that will mean the user only has to enter their data once.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers.
