Always back to Space 1

Dear all,
I have an issue with the assignment of applications to Spaces.
I use 2x3 Spaces and I assigned Safari to Space#6.
Sometimes, I minimize a Safai window.
Then, I move to another Space.
Then, I want to un-minimize the Safari window.
Instead of bringing it back to Space#6, it will bring it back to Space#1.
What is even most amazing is that it is not systematic.
Sometimes, it will behave properly ...
When I was using Spaces on 10.5, I never had that issue.
Any idea ?
Many thanks,
Nicolas

I don't know if this is the same thing (since I don't assign applications to spaces) but I have found the following behavior. If you have a window minimized to the dock in, say, space 6. If you go to another space, say 2, and un-minimize the window with a click, then you go back to 6. So far so good. Now try it again but this time, before un-minimizing, use expose to reveal that minimized window. Now the window will un-minimize into the space where you revealed it with expose!
So, with that long preamble, does your problem manifest itself only after the use of expose?
I love spaces, but, man, it's quirky.

How can I get back the space to type in web addresses when I click on safari. it seems to have gone away??

I am trying to find out how to get back the space up top of window that appears when I click on safari. I used to be able to type in web addresses and go to places but somehow I lost the space which was just above or just below gray space that show apple, store, mac, ipod etc. I am 78 & sometimes get confused. any hep would be greatly appreciated. I know I had my arrow on somewhere near that space and heard a sound and when I looked back at my puter that space was gone. ??? any ideas,, Annette l

When Safari is active, in the menu bar at the top of the screen, there's a menu labeled View. From that menu, select Show Toolbar. It's right at the top.

Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

Do i need to backup my information before installation of Mac os x lion? I know I should always back up, but what i'm asking is will my information be there, or is it a totally clean install? Will my information have to be transfered?

When I installed Lion all of my files were intact and where I left them, and I did not back up my Mac, however having seen some of the problems some people are coming across when installing Lion I would recommend backing up before you install (just to be on the safe side).
Hope this helps!

Time machine always backs up same amount of data

When backing up with Time Machine it always backs up the same amount of data each time (140GB). I am not modifying 140GB of data each day or even each week so why does Time Machine always default to this amount of data?
I would like TM to only backup modified data so that I am not waiting hours for TM to complete backup. Looking for a reset or workaround for this issue.

Hi SarahElizabeth18,
If you are getting errors about there not being enough space on your device, you may want to check to see if Other data is unusually large. You may find the following article helpful:

Welcome to the Communities.
We want to help you but unfortunately you have given us insufficient information.
Please find a moment to tell us more about your machine, the model identifier, the OS version, and the total amount of RAM you have. It also helps to know where you are, nothing specific, just the country. Macs do not run on iOS 6.1.6 as your profile says.
Then fill those same details in your profile for future use

After installing lion, time machine does not always back up. The back up disk is occasionally not recognized.

after installing lion, time machine does not always back up. The back up disk is occasionally not recognized. Help!

This is easy one.. for most.. just restart the TC.. ie pull out the power.. count to 10.. plug in the power.
If the simple doesn't work you can see more info here.

Always backing up GB not mb ??

My Time Capsule always seem to want to back up about 13-20GB per day ?. . . .I always let it complete these backups but it never seems to ease.
I expected after the initial backup that all the Time Capsule would so would be to back up incremental changs to files etc but it seems to always want to backup a few GB every time . . . .whats wrong with my set up ?
I have the Time Capusle set to not back up the backup that sits onthe desktop when its backing up.

jay,
Consider the following regarding large incremental backups...
*_Incremental Backups Seem Too Large!_*
Open the Time Machine Prefs on the Mac in question. How much space does it report you have "Available"? When a backup is initiated how much space does it report you need?
Now, consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412]
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
*Events-Based Backups*
Time Machine does not compare file for file to see if changes have been made. If it had to rescan every file on your drive before each backup, it would not be able to perform backups as often as it does. Rather, it looks for EVENTS (fseventsd) that take place involving your files and folders. Moving/copying/deleting/saving files and folders creates events that Time Machine looks for. [http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14]
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can create major changes in the structure of your directories. Every one of these changes is recorded by the OS as an event. Time Machine will backup every file that has an event associated with it since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*Recovering Backup Space*
If you have discovered that large unwanted files have been backed up, you can use the Time Machine “time travel” interface to recovered some of that space.
Launch Time Machine from the Dock icon.
Initially, you are presented with a window that represents “Today (Now)”. DO NOT make changes to file while you see “Today (Now)” at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the window just behind “Today (Now)”. This represents the last successful backup and should display the date and time of this backup at the bottom of the screen.
Now, navigate to where the unwanted file resides.
Highlight the file and click the Actions menu (Gear icon) from the toolbar.
Select “Delete all backups of <this file>”.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

Time machine always backs up a minimum 2GB to Time Capsule

For some reason Time Machine always likes to back up a minimum of 2GB, even with virtually no use of my laptop. I do not think it did this before I got the Time Capsule, but its quite obvious now since the Time Capsule is noticeably slower.
Does anyone else have this occur and is there a way to prevent it?

Welcome to the discussions!
Are you running Aperture, Entourage, VM Fusion or other programs with a monolithic file structure? One small change in one email results in the entire Entourage data base being backed up since the program views any change as a total change. Same for the other programs. This can fill up a drive really fast.
Download Time Tracker to get a look at what is being backed up on each pass that Time Machine makes.
It takes some time for the program to load, so allow 4-5 minutes before you start to click on the backups to see what is taking up all of the space.

Iphone back up space on PC Hard Drive

Hi, just wondering how much space the back ups take on hard drive. That is, I have iPhone with approx 5GB videos, 3GB music, 2GB pictures and some applications (say 1GB for sake of simplicity). If I take back up say five times in five months, will it be 55GB on my hard disk or some different amount the way iTunes backs up? Not to mention, someof the data (eg music etc) does not change.

No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Read through this document to see what is included in the iPhone backup & where this backup is stored on your computer:

I have a Mac Pro tower with two internal Hard Discs, each one 2TB. I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But it does not allow me to back up because it says there is not enough back up space available. Between the two HDs there are 3.3TBs. Can I daisy chain TC?

I have a Mac Pro tower (OSX version 10.6.3) with two internal Hard Drives, each one 2TB.
I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But cannot back up because it tells me there is not enough space.
I have more than 3Tbs to store to the new TC.
Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?

Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
No, you cannot link to produce a single large partition.
But you can have two separate backup jobs.. and use each partition. That is hard on TM but you can easily get a different backup software for it.
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
In TM you do a different setup and exclude the other drive.
But it is better to use an alternative software IMHO.
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
You would need to use a network drive of more than 4TB .. it would also take forever. This is just wrong way to do it. Although you can buy a NAS that will work with Time Machine and load it with disks 16TB is possible.. if you can get a second mortgage.. the fragile nature of TM on 3rd party devices.. would leave me in cold sweat if anything went wrong.
TM is excellent at keeping incremental backups of files that keep changing.. as such you should use TM to backup your OS disk and main user directory.. exclude all files and directories that never change. Back them up separately.
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?
Yes, that is a much better idea. You want to store photos safely and you want to store them in multiple places. If you have multiple TB of photos, dedicate a couple of disks to the backup. ie have at least two copies.. not in backup format.. in straight copy format if possible.. so you can keep one of the disks offsite.
I would be using your MacPro internal disk access, to place the disk onto sata bus and do the copy disk to disk direct. Or even buy esata card.. or sata to esata converter cable so you can use esata box. That will beat any other transfer speed except thunderbolt for which you would need third mortgage. (The MORT in mortgage is significant).
The great jurist Sir Edward Coke, who lived from 1552 to 1634, has explained why the term mortgage comes from the Old French words mort, "dead," and gage, "pledge." It seemed to him that it had to do with the doubtfulness of whether or not the mortgagor will pay the debt.

TS3679 I got the time capsule and it seems to be backing up everyday. For some reason I am running out of local disk space, and it looks like around 30 percent of the space is used in "Backup". Shouldn't back up space only be used in the time capsule?

I would also like to know how can I delete/release the "backup" space used in my local hard drive? Why do I need the time capsule if it's using my local hardrive to back up?

Find option to get secondary mouse click back from Spaces

I have OX 10.6.8 and a Mac Book Pro. Recently I had a bluetooth apple trackpad connected to my Mac and I was experiementing with Spaces. Right now, I do not have the bluetooth apple trackpad. Anyway, when I use the two-finger tap to do a secondary mouse click, Spaces activates.
I read that there should be an option in the Spaces control panel to activate Spaces with a secondary mouse click. However, in the Spaces control panel there aren't any options at all for activating it with a secondary mouse-click. It is currently set to activate with F8. Do I need to have the external bluetooth trackpad connected in order to find the option in Spaces for dis-associating Spaces with the secondary mouse click?
John

Take a look at my trackpad settings in the picture "MBP Trackpad Settings.jpg" at <http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=wbdeville&t emplatefn=FileSharing5.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.5.xml&sitefn=TKSite.2.xml&aff=consu mer&cty=US&lang=en>.
I actually prefer the trackpad to a mouse. Works great!
The default setting for Dashboard is F12. Look in System Preferences at the Dashboard & Expose prefs and see how you've got that set. It's easy to go back to F12 as the trigger to see Widgets.
I've got a rather low opinion of Widgets. Some of them are poorly written and can cause heat problems (excessive CPU use) or WiFi slowdowns (constant polling of the Net).
