Acer Backup Manager Issue

Hello,
I am new to this forum but I did check the data base for past similar issues. I recently started using Acer Backup Manager and all seems to work except for backing up "My Favorites". It startes to backup and after a period of time I get an error message that reads "Unable to read from or write to the database". I have tried several times with different memory sticks but get the same results. This occured when I used Windows 8.1 and the problem is still there after I upgraded to Windows 10. My laptop is an Acer Aspire/V5 and the ser# is NXM49AA012****. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to where to start or if this problem has occured to anyone else?
Thanks

Hi there, Yes there is no available driver on the acer site as ELAN or Synaptics is like a third party software..
You may check it on your mouse properties under device settings.
If your touchpad is just disabling on its own or sometimes freezing then will go ok again
thats a software fault only .. driver reloading or doing a factory reset will fix this.
Note:If this issue just started few days ago or just 1-2 weeks ago
try running system restore on the machine and choose the date when the touchpad is working fine with no problems
as this is a possible update problem only.
If your touchpad is just Disabling on its own and you need to turn it on again by pressing Fn+7
its a possible softward or hardware.. if doing the troubleshooting steps above wont work.
You need to call Acer for assistance of repair for touchpad board replacement.As I said it started from the first start up after I've bought it. So I guess neither System Restore (which I tried to the earliest point, just in case) nor resetting it to factory settings would solve the problem.
I think its not disabling itself since I have to press Fn+F7 two times (to reset it not turn it back on).
Anyway, I was happy to find out that Acer released the Synaptics driver for the touchpad. However It did not solve the issue. Touchpad still freezing. I guess I'll be calling Acer for repair. I feel reluctant to do so though, since I've bought this laptop just two weeks ago.

Library backup / management issues

New user, so please pardon the simplicity of the issues:
1. It seems the backup option will only backup to cd/dvd. How do I backup my library to disk? For example, I was thinking of getting a USB hard drive and I'd like to be able to backup the library to it. Is this possible?
2. If I change the location of my library in the preferences, will that actually move the library to the new location?
3. How do I move my library to another computer?
Thanks for the help,
Bob

If you simply want to backup iTunes...
Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
The end.
Export the .xml file and copy that file
Okay but you didn't need to do that.
Just use the existing iTunes library file, especially since the iTunes library.xml file does not contain all the info in the iTunes library.
If you want to move you iTunes library to a new hard drive and use it from there...
1 - Quit iTunes.
2 - Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
3 - Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the 4 - Shift key in Windows, Option key in Mac.
5 - iTunes will ask to *Create new library* or *Choose existing library*. Select *Choose existing library* and select the *iTunes library* file in the folder you just moved.
6 - Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
7 - Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Profile and Device Manager Issues

The following article also applies to issues after re-setting the severs' hostname. It also applies to situations where re-setting the Code Signing Certifictateas described by Apple has not resolved the issue.
Hello,
I have been plagued with Profile Manager and Device Manager issues since day one.
I would like to share my experience and to suggest a way how to resolve issues such as device cannot be enrolled or Code Signing Certificate not accepted.
I shall try to be as brief as possible, just giving an overview of the steps that resolved my issues. The individual steps have been described elsewhere in this forum. For users who have purchased commercial SSL certs the following may not apply.
In my view many of these issues are caused by missing or faulty certificates. So let us first touch on the very complex matter of certificates.
Certificates come in many flavours such as CA (Certificate Authority), Code Signing Certificate, S/MIME and Server Identification.
(Mountain?) Lion Server creates a so-called Intermediate CA certificate (IntermediateCA_hostname_1") and Server Identification Certificate ("hostname") when it installs first. This is critical for the operation of many server functionalities, including Open Direcory. These certs together with the private/public keys can be found in your Keychain. Profile and Device Manager may need a Code Signing Certificate.
The most straightforward way to resolve the Profile Manaher issues is in my view to reset the server created certicates.
The bad news is that this procedure involves quite a few steps and at least 2 hours of your precious time because it means creating a fresh Direcory Master.
I hope that I have not forgotten to mention an important step. Readers' comments and addenda are welcome.
I shall outline a sensible strategy:
1. Clone your dysfunctional server to an external harddrive (SuperDuper does a reliable job)
2. Start the server fom the clone and shut down ALL services.
3. It may be sensible to set up a root user access.
4. Back-up all user data such as addess book, calendar and other data that you *may* need to set up your server.
5. Open Workgroup Manager and export all user and workgroup accounts to the drive that you using to re-build your server (it may cause problems if you back-up to an external drive).
6. Just in case you may also want to back-up the Profile Manager database and erase user profiles:
In Terminal (this applies to Lion Server - paths may be diferent in Mountain Lion !)
Backup: sudo pg_dump -U _postgres -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
Erase database:
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
7. Note your Directory (diradmin) password for later if you want to re-use it.
8. Open Open Server Admin and demote OD Master to Standalone Directory.
9. In Terminal delete the old Certificate Authority
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
This step is crucial because else re-building you OD Master will fail.
9. Go back to Server Admin and promote the Standalone Directory to OD Master. You may want to use the same hostname.
10. When the OD Master is ready click on Overview and check that the LDAP and Keberos Realm reflect your server's hostname.
11. Go back to Workgroup Manager and re-import users and groups.
NOTE: passwords are not being exported. I do not know how to salvage user passwords. (Maybe passwords can be recovered by re-mporting an OD archive - comments welcome! ).
12. Go to Server App and reset passwords and (not to forget) user homefolder locations, in particular if you want to login from a network account!
If the home directory has not been defined you cannot login from a network account.
13. You may now want to restore Profile Manager user profiles in Terminal. Issue the following commands:
sudo serveradmin stop devicemgr
sudo serveradmin start postgres
sudo psql -U _postgres -d device_management -f $HOME/device_management.sql
sudo serveradmin start devicemgr
14. You can now switch back on your services, including Profile Manager.
In Profile Manager you may have to configure Device Management. This creates a correct Code Signng Certicate.
15. Check the certificate settings in Server App -> Hadware -> Settings-> SSL Certificates.
16. Check that Apple Push Notifications are set.(you easily check if they are working later)
17. You may want to re-boot OS Server from the clone now.
18. After re-boot open Server App and check that your server is running well.
19. Delete all profiles in System Preferences -> Profiles.
19. Login to Profile Manager. You should have all users and profiles back. In my experience devices have to be re-enrolled before profiles can be pushed and/or devices be enrolled. You may just as well delete the displayed devices now.
20. Grab one of your (portable) Macs that you want to enrol and go to (yourhostname)/mydevices and install the server's trust profile. The profile's name should read "Trust Profile for...) and underneath in green font "Verified".
21. Re-enrol that device. At this stage keep your finger's crossed and take a deep breath.
22. If the device has been successfully enrolled you may at last want to test if pushing profiles really works. Login to Profile Manager as admin, select the newly enrolled device. Check that Automatic Push is enabled (-> Profile -> General). Create a harmless management profile such as defining the dock's position on the target machine. (Do not forget to click SAVE at the end - this is easily missed here). If all is well Profile Manager will display an active task (sending) and the dock's position on the target will have changed in a few seconds if you are on a LAN (Note: If sending seems to take forever: check on the server machine and/or on your router that the proper ports are open and that incoming data is not intercepted by Little Snitch or similar software).
Note: if you intend to enrol an Apple iPhone you may first need to install the proper Apple Configuration software.
Now enjoy Profile and Device Manager !
Regards,
Twistan

HI
1. In Action profiles, logon to system and recheck correcion are available in action definition as well in condition configuration and the schedule condition is also maintained. but the display is not coming(i.e in the worklist this action is not getting displayed).
You can check the schedule condition for the action and match the status values...or try recreating the action with schedule condition again....for customer specific ....copy the standard aciton with ur zname and make a schedule condition and check the same.
2, In suppport team of incident when i give individual processor it throwing a warning that u r not the processor. but when i give org unit it is working perfectly. Could anyone guide on this.
You need to have the empolyee role for BP ..goto BP and got here dropdown for ur bp and choose role Employee and then enter ur userid
also make sure that u have the message processing role
Hope it clarifies ur doubt and resolve ur prob

Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz - Bad Logic Board or Power Management Issue?

I have a Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz/1.5GB/80GB which I bought non-working. It has not yet been disassembled or examined by a certified tech. This is it's issue (which replicates): the computer powers on. It makes a single warning tone, then the LED flashed at least 15 times (too fast to count). Then the posting chord is heard. Hard drive spins up. Then nothing (no video). Won’t boot from any disk. I have changed the RAM and tested the RAM banks with known-to-be-good RAM from another DP1.8GHz G5. The warning tone stopped once or twice after this switch, but then it didn’t chime. I changed the PRAM battery, but not with as new one. However, after installing the used one and then resetting the PMU, it displayed video briefly for the first time. While installed in the other 1.8GHz G5, the hard drive was formatted, given a clean install of OS X 10.4.11, and then moved into this computer where is never mounts. The computer is not accessible through TDM.
Do I have a bad logic board? Bad CPUs? A power managment issue? A RAM issue?

Through my own trial and error troubleshooting, I have found the CPUs to be in good working order and the logic board passes the Apple Service Diagnostic every time. Despite the installation of numerous pairs of modules that worked in another DP1.8GHz, the computer has a RAM issue-it gives the "no good RAM" tone most of the time when it powers up (after a PMU reset it does not). Also the computer boots from disk or into Open Firmware but the disk utility can't see either hard drive so I may have a bad SATA controller.

[Solved]Need help with backup-manager

So I'm trying to set up backup-manager to make.. well, backups. Their wiki has been shut down thanks to spammers, and ours has no specific entry for backup-manager, so I will have to do it with its man page and the (well documented) config file. However, I still have some questions. Sorry in advance for the amount of questions and the length of the topic. I just wanted to get this clear in one go.
First: I want to make a *full* system backup, so that I can restore my system in case of breakage without reinstalling. When I looked at creating backups in the past, I noticed some folders don't necessarily had to be backupped. What folders in / could I skip?
Second: I chose the tarball backup format. Would it then be safe to comment out all the other variables (for tarbal-incremental/mySQL) backups?
Third: Now there were some parts of the config file that I didn't understand. I hope you can explain some of those parts to me.
# Number of days we have to keep an archive (Time To Live)
export BM_ARCHIVE_TTL="5"
That means the archive it creates will be removed after 5 days - but what if I copy it to my external hard disk? I don't think it will delete it then, so would it be safe to comment this out - or what will it do if I just keep it this way?
# At which frequency will you build your archives?
# You can choose either "daily" or "hourly".
# This should match your CRON configuration.
export BM_ARCHIVE_FREQUENCY="daily"
I either want to make a backup when I want to, or weekly - not hourly or daily. Is this possible with backup-manager?
# Do you want to purge only the top-level directory or all
# directories under BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT?
export BM_REPOSITORY_RECURSIVEPURGE="false"
I don't understand that option. Could you explain me what it will do? Info: BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT is set to my home folder. It's the place where the archives are stored.
# Do you want to replace duplicates by symlinks?
# (archive-DAY is a duplicate of archive-(DAY - 1) if they
# are both the same according to MD5 hashes).
export BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS="true"
Will this harm anything in my system?
# Do you want to dereference the files pointed by symlinks ?
# enter true or false (true can lead to huge archives, be careful).
export BM_TARBALL_DUMPSYMLINKS="false"
This would 'destroy' all symlinks, no? I'm going to keep this at false, but I would like to know.

Tried to do a selective upgrade & broke something this morning so I tried restoring my CompleteRaid0 backup, worked like a charm.
This is the latest backup script I'm using:
#!/bin/sh
# Little script to tar up the important root folders.
# To untar, use:
# tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
echo "Do you want to clear pacman's cache before tarring up the root folder? This will save time in both the tar- and untar process."
echo -n "(y|N) > "
read a
if [[ "$a" = "n" ]] || [[ "$a" = "N" ]] || [[ "$a" = "" ]]; then
echo "Pacman's cache will not be cleared."
else
echo "Pacman's cache will be cleared now, please wait..."
pacman -Scc --noconfirm
echo "Pacman's cache succesfully cleared. Continuing now..."
sleep 2s
fi
DATE=`date +%m%d-%H%M%S`
CB=CompleteRaid0-$DATE.tar.gz
NB=FreshInstall-$DATE.tar.gz
echo "********************************************************************************"
echo "Proceeding with Fresh Install backup $NB."
echo "********************************************************************************"
sleep 5
cd /
tar -cvpzf $NB --one-file-system \
/boot \
--exclude=/$NB \
--exclude=/dev \
--exclude=/etc/fstab \
--exclude=/home \
--exclude=/lost+found \
--exclude=/media \
--exclude=/mnt \
--exclude=/proc \
--exclude=/root \
--exclude=/sys \
--exclude=/tmp \
mv $NB /home/chuck/Backups/
echo "********************************************************************************"
echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds."
echo "Proceeding with complete backup $CB."
echo "********************************************************************************"
sleep 5
tar -cvpzf $CB --one-file-system \

--exclude=/$CB \
--exclude=/tmp \
--exclude=/mnt \
mv $CB /home/chuck/Backups/
echo "********************************************************************************"
echo "Backups Complete"
echo "********************************************************************************"
sleep 10
exit 0
Restored it with this:
#!/bin/sh
# To untar, use:
# tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
tar -xvpzf /home/chuck/Backups/now.tar.gz -C /
mkdir /proc \
/lost+found \
/sys \
/mnt \
/media \
/mnt/bind/Downloads \
/mnt/bind/Pictures \
/mnt/bind/Maintenance \
/mnt/bind/Music \
/mnt/bind/Backups
exit 0
Of course the directories already existed so that part was unnecessary & only needed if I had restored onto a fresh installation.

Color Management issues with Illustrator

Can someone help me figure out the color management issues I'm getting when printing on an Epson 3880 from Illustrator?
The image comes out severely red as evident on the face. I'm not getting the same problem when printing from Photoshop, even though I set same paper profile in printing dialog box.
I attached two printed picture (one from Photoshop CC, and one from Illustrator CC) that I took with my iphone so that you can see the printed result. Even when I try to simulate same thing using illustrator soft proofing process, the soft proof does not show me anything close to how it gets printed out. And I tried all device simulations to see if any would match it. Im using CMYK SWOP v2 for Color space in both programs.

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

IPad/iPhone Backup/Management App for PC?

I'm fed up with the massive headache that's called iTunes. I don't want a Backup/Management App for my iPad and iPhone that is music centric. I have a lot of valuable information, applications, photos, videos, and documents on my iPad and iPhone that needs to be effectively backed up and managed. And yes, I want to back up/management my music too. I want a well written app that does it all. Is there an application that does this?

Thanks for answering. I don't like the answer, but it's what I expected.

ACER eSettings Management Software?

Does anyone know where to download ACER eSettings Management Software? I cannot remember my BIOS Password and need to delete/reset it.http://www.tech-faq.com/how-do-i-reset-an-acer-bios-password.html discusses how to do this but I cannot find the software.
I really do not want to open up the Laptop and remove the Bios Battery.

Hello Laurent_14, Sorry for my delay.Thank You for your response regarding the eSettings Software. It doesn't seem to help my situation though. I decided to install Vista on the Laptop so I could run eSettings Mgmt, but as you probably realize finding drivers thast will work with Vista for that Acer Model was impossible.
Regardless, I installed Vista, then the Management software suite. All looked good except for the fact that eSettings would not allow me to change the Bios password. That Button was Grayed out.The button to set a password was enabled but told me I had to enable the option in Bios. ARRRRRG. I used a Bios Password Generator to allow me into the Bios and was able to set Security to Legacy in order to install Vista, but still could not change the existing password without knowing the original.
Any reason this software would not see that a password was set and allow me to change it.
Any further suggestions you could possibly offer??? Thanks for responding and your help up to this point.

Help!! Can someone help me with this message I keep getting before startup, please ?? Here it is: "/Library/Startupitems/Intego Backup Manager Pro" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. Help!?!?

Hello:
I keep getting this message upon startup. Can't figure out how to address it. Here it is.
"/Library/Startupitems/Intego Backup Manager Pro" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
Any suggestions?

There's an invisible one name "Icon" according to the error message.
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
First, make invisible files visible. Find the invisible file in that folder and remove it. Please be sure you are looking in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. There is another one in the /Home/Library/ folder. Be sure you look in the right one.

Charm - how manage issues after go live phase

Hi all,
ny customer use Charm Implementation project for managing roll-outs of new countries in his SAP ECC Landscape.
Now Test Phase is going to end and he asks himself: "how can I manage issues after go live in Charm?"
If I have to create additional TRs for bug fixing in the weeks after go-live can I manager them in Charm?
I know there is the function for create TR direct in Talsk List, is this the correct way?
In other words, do I manage issues after go-live out of Change Documents using Task list?
As you know, Is there any best practices from SAP od from elsewhere?
Thanks o lot
Giovanni Lippolis

Hi Miguel, Bob and Jansi,
thanks for you contributions.But I realize I didn't explained myself completly.
My situation is similar to what Bob described,
I'm not in an ideal world (do you remember Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner), and I think neither you.
But, in my case there are not open TR to be recovered in project, but I suppose I'll have to open some TR (I hope a few) for fixing bug that will happen in production in the days post roll-out.
So I wouldn't like to manage there fix in a maintenance project, because the reason of these bugs is in TR imported in roll-out.
What I would like to do is to regress project to the Test phase (I don't need new CR and NC!) and open few Test Messages for fixing bugs.
I'suppost It should be possilble.In your opinion?
Ideas?
Thnks a lot.
Giovanni

Best pratices for RMAN backup management for many databases

Dear all,
We have many 10g databases (>40) hosted on multiple Windows servers which are backup up using RMAN.
A year ago, all backup's were implemented through Windows Scheduled Tasks using some batch files.
We have been busy (re)implementing / migrating such backup in Grid Control.
I personally prefer to maintain the backup management in Grid Control, but a colleague wants now to go back to the batch files.
What i am looking for here, are advices in the management of RMAN backup for multiple databases: do you guys use Grid Control or any third-party backup management tool or even got your home-made solution?
One of the discussion topic is the work involved in case that the central backup location changes.
Well... any real-life advices on best practices / strategies for RMAN backup management for many databases will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,
Thierry H. wrote:
Thanks for your reaction.
So, i understand that Grid Control is for you not used to manage the backups, and as a consequence, you also have no 'direct' overview of the job schedules.
One of my concern is also to avoid that too many backups are started at the same time to avoid network / storage overload. Such overview is availble in Grid Control's Jobs screen.
And, based on your strategy, do you recreate a 'one-time' Oracle scheduled job for every backup, or do your scripts create an Oracle job with multiple schedule?
You're very welcome!
Well, Grid Control is not an option for us, since each customer is in a separate infrastructure, and with their own licensing. I have no real way (in difference to your situation) to have a centralized point of control, but that on the other hand mean that I don't have to consider network/storage congestion, like you have to.
The script is run from a "permanent" job within the dba-scheduler, created like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
        job_name        => 'BACKUP',
        job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
        job_action      => '/home/oracle/scripts/rman_backup.sh',
        start_date      => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48,
        repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48',
        enabled         => true,
        auto_drop       => false,
        comments        => 'execute backup script at 03:30');and then the "master-script", determines which level to use, based on weekday from the OS. The actual job schedule (start date, run interval etc) is set together with the customer IT/IS dept, to avoid congestion on the backup resources.
I have no overview of the backup status, run times etc, but have made monitoring scripts that will alert me if/when a backup either fails, or runs for too long. This, in addition with scheduled disaster/recovery tests makes me sleep rather well at night.. ;-)
I realize that there (might be) better ways of doing backup scheduling in your environment, since my requirements are so completely different than yours, but I guess that we all face the same challenges in unifying the environments as much as possible, to minimize the amount of actual work we have to do. :-)
Good luck!

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...
