Backing up with SuperDuper and CCC question

I just got started with SD and CCC and have tried to use both of them to back up over the network but haven't had any luck.
What I'm trying to do:
-- Open SuperDuper or CCC (not at the same time) on Mac1 then log-on to Mac2 and tell SuperDuper or CCC to back up from Mac2 onto Ext.HD1?
Does this technique work, or do I have to open the SD/CCC on the Mac whose drive I want to backup and copy to the external HD from there?
Also, when SuperDuper requires a DiskImage to backup, do I have to create the disk image in DiskUtility first, or does SD do that in preparation to the backup process?
Thanks for helping me get clear on this. First time using backup software.

The instructions on how to make clones are fairly clear; and if you
stick to one or the other, doing so should be fairly easy. I use CCC
most exclusively, and the Bombich web site has helpful instruction
on how to do most things in the header; menus beneath the icons
are generally adequate.
Over a network, the issue may be in how the drives and computers
are seen; since you can assign an ethernet address to most any
thing networked (especially printers, and computers) so maybe this
could be something to check into; or avoid if that complicates clones.
You can use the native Mac OS X Disk Utility to make back ups and
disk images; and you can restore from a disk image created by D.U.
So, you have three ways to make backups of the system or move it.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner, since it was an early favorite and it works.
You have to make a clone from the one you want to copy/clone; so
you will have the data saved on the other drive. The question is not
one that I'd consider; but I learned how to make clones as a part of
a hardware failure troubleshooting interval, which took me a month
after the authorized Apple tech could not find problems with my iMac
yet I could repeatedly find and reproduce the fault; so I did all I could
and then discussed the matter direct with AppleCare; for a real repair.
So, now I clone both computers full drive contents to an external FW;
and eventually wipe both computer's drives, after saving a new clone.
And while I have them wiped; I have Disk Utility zero-overwrite them.
That way, there is no fragmentation and I reclone the content back.
Maybe you could explain what steps you are having issue with in the
clone or backup process, and to simplify this, use one of the methods.
Good luck & happy computing!

Back up with rescue and recovery

I made a back up with rescue and recovery of windows vista, I changed to Windows 7 (that is working better), and I can't delete the back up. Is a 30 gb backup, that I can' t read with anything to delete it.

Hi North450,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the HDD was not working and is replaced in your J105 Desktop, if you have created the recovery discs before the HDD got crashed. I suggest you to install the OS (Operating System) using the Recovery discs to factory reset as it will create the default recommended partitions required for the computer and I’m sorry to inform you that the SATA drivers are not available in our support website for Windows Xp, but can be download from the Intel. Below is the link to download the driver:

Do post us back for further queries.

My ipod touch will not back up with itunes and allow me to update to newest software

I am having trouble getting my ipod touch to back up with itunes and allowing me to update to newest suftware. It has been backing up for over 3 days and the status bar has not moved.

Terminate the backup. Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod. Reboot the iPod. Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Problems with Superdupe and then Winclone - please help!

Okay..
I just got a 17" and I used Superdupe to clone my 15" and used Winclone to do the same for my windows partition.
I bought a new 500 gig hard drive and formatted it. I formatted it to Mac OS Extended Journaled with just one partition.
After cloning (2 hours or so..) - I restarted with the new hard drive in the new 17" and went to bootcamp and it says...
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
Ok - so I went back to disk utility and did it all over again - making sure there is just one partition... now after 2 hours and super duper working again.. I am getting the same message from Boot Camp..
Any help!!! I just did this about a month ago and did not have this problem.. I think what I did last time was partition the drive in Mac and boot in windows and make the partition a windows format.. which I think worked.. but I cant remember..
Its about to drive me nutz..
thanks!
Mark

I have no idea what you are doing since you didn't make that very clear. However, what you need to do is this:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to One. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
I would be careful about trying to restore your clone from your other computer because the new 17" may require a new build of OS X. If you restore your other system it may not be fully compatible or not even boot the new one. Better to install the version of OS X that was included with the new computer's installer discs. You can always restore your data files separately from your backup clone.
Once you have a working system open Boot Camp Assistant and use it to create a new Windows partition to which you can restore your Wincloned backup. Note that in earlier versions of WinClone it would only restore a Windows partition to the same hardware. It may not restore to your new hardware.

Backing up with clones and archiving

I am backing up my OSX with a cloning software and a separate archiving software.Not too paranoid,but I want to know if there's any harm in having two separate clones on two separate volumes of a firewire connected hard drive,each being maintained by a different software product.Also,any harm from archiving to volume on hard drive with DataBackUP and also archiving peer-to-peer with CrashPlan.Or is that going to be too much(i.e.will the software programs get in each other's way,if you will).

There should be no conflict between the two volumes, BUT you shouldn't consider that you have TWO clones: if that drive fails you lose them both at the same time. You can only say that you have TWO clones if they are on separate DRIVES.

Backing up with hardrive and iCloud

So, I'm just learning about iCloud. It's a very neat concept and even though I'm a little concerned about using it, I'm willing to take a leap of faith with Apple. Since using it, I've noticed that you can't back up with both your hardrive and iCloud. I don't feel comfortable just using iCloud as a back up. What if someone were to hack into my account? What if the service was down? Has anyone figured out how to backup using both?

There should be no conflict between the two volumes, BUT you shouldn't consider that you have TWO clones: if that drive fails you lose them both at the same time. You can only say that you have TWO clones if they are on separate DRIVES.

Flex AdvancedDataGrid - ColumnOrder With Formatter and ItemRenderer Question For Experts

I have a advanceddatagrid that has around 15 columns. Some are string,
some are numbers. I have shown 4 columns below.
The number columns have formatting done for zero precision and 2
digits precision. The itemRenderer is just to show Blue Color if the
number is +ve and Red Color if the number is -ve.
It looks something like below
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Name" textAlign"left"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Time" textAlign="right"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Score" textAlign="right" formatter="{zeroPrecisionFormatter}" sortable="true"   itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Average" textAlign="right" headerWordWrap="true" formatter="{twoPrecisionFormatter}" itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
I am trying to save the users setting of column order when he closes
the application and reload with the same order when the user opens the
applications. I am using SharedObjects and below is the code.
for(var i:int=0; i< adgrid.columns.length;i++){
     var columnObject:Object = new Object();
     columnObject.columnDataField = adgrid.columns[i].dataField as String;
     columnObject.columnHeader =adgrid.columns[i].headerText as String;
     columnObject.width = adgrid.columns[i].width;
     columnArray.push(columnObject);
and then I save the columnArray to SharedObject.
I retrive them using the below code
for(var i:int=0;i<columnArray.length;i++){
    adgrid.columns[i].dataField =columnArray[i].columnDataField;
    adgrid.columns[i].headerText =columnArray[i].columnHeader;
    adgrid.columns[i].width = columnArray[i].width;
How can I save and reload the Formatter and ItemRenderer data .
I am having trouble saving the formatter and itemrenderer and
reloading it again.
I would really appreciate if you can shown the code.
How can I reshuffle the columns but can preserve all the properties of it to though sharedobject and recover it again

I would bypass the DataGrid all together. Using the DataGrid , you have to mess with itemrenderers and indexes ... not
very fun when one can avoid it. Instead , I would do my calculations off of the dataprovider. Then it becomes an elementary exercise of a for-loop and [Bindable] values.

Help with SuperDuper and partition!?

Ok i have a problem I have an External HD Connected to my IMac and a Time Capsule. My Internal HDD is pretty much empty and i would love to keep it that way. Therefore i partitioned my WD My Book 320 GB HD i cloned the OS using SuperDuper ! All i really want to do is keep all my music,movies,pictures,and games on the cloned HD. Thus i am trying to keep my IMac completely clutter free. So when i booted from the clone everything was fine all my music was there. So then i decided to check and see my empty Itunes library on my internal HDD but all the same music was there, what gives? I used SuperDuper and i can't really remember all the option's i chose but i am pretty sure there is a option to not share Apps. Sorry if i don't make sense late and i just had to work 7 day's straight, yep i am tired. No making fun to me.

It's because iTunes always saves the way your library is set up. If you try to play the music off of the main HD in iTunes, though, it will say it cannot locate the file, and ask you to find it. When it says that, then you can go, and pull the songs off of your external HD.

Issue with reporting and additional question

Hello,
1st Question:
I have ran into an issue with the interal server reporting.
If the file is published as an html file, then the reporting works as intended
(Able to see with Quiz Analyzer due to it creating an xml file in the appropriate folder)
However, if I publish the file as a swf file, the reporting does not seem to be working at all.
Does this mean that swf reporting is not supported with the internal server? or?
2nd Question
When reporting likert, as expected the quiz analyzer makes it so that we have go into each individual person to see their inputs.
With that I am able to export it as an excel file for each individual person.
However, is there a way to mass export all the individual responses as 1 excel file with the quiz analyzer?
(Would it be better using Adobe Connect for reporting, or other lms systems?)
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Quick thigh when you get an error stating "unknown error" means something wrong with your server internal post result php or some cross domain issue. It will be great if you can send us the project for analysis. Please send your project on [email protected]
Will analyze your issue and will get back to you, also I insist if you can provide few steps you opted while setting internal server reporting and the internal server on some machine. This will be very helpful to trace the issue.

Hoping for a little help with registering and hosting questions.

i was hoping i could get some information from some of you
that have personal experience with registering your site and
picking a hosting provider.
im wondering what the difference is between say....Dot5
hosting at 5.00 a month and .. network solutions at 29.99 a month?
my local provider here in sacramento wants 30 a month as
well......299.oo a yr.
should I go with a local provider? or go with ... say GoDaddy
or some other company?
also, registering. Im about to register my site name.
however, some companies include it in the "packages" they offer.
should I register it myself or let the hosting company I choose do
it?
sorry for the newb questions....but I cant find any good info
on this and I was hoping maybe some of you that have already done
this to chime in.
thanks in advance.

If you want almost all of the below features for about $9.00
a month go to
Gate.com and pick your package. I use them for several web
sites and have
never been dissatisfied with their services or features.
They will register your domain and I've done it both ways,
but have never
had problems with them but it does make a lot of sense to
register it
yourself and keep full ownership....

Folder with face and flashing question mark, what to do when this happens?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, please help, my brother has a ibook G4, OSX 10.3.9, about 3 years old and now when he turns on the ibook it has a folder with a face in it and a flashing question mark. Do you just leave it and it will sort it self out or is there something to do to make it go away? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I have replaced a 40 G harddrive with a seagate 160 G drive. When I try to start it it only comes up with the flashing question mark. I have tried to boot off the install CD, but it only flashes the question mark. This is my daughters computer and she really needs it to work for school.
I have tried to "restore" using my new Mac Book and the old 40 G drive in an external USB case. But still is no good. I have used DiskWarrior and the drive will boot.
This is an ibook G4 running 10.4.2

HT201250 I just did my first back up with TM and My Passport for Mac, when done adn went into the box ....options...to try and fidn how to delete trash. Then I went back to see if it was erady to do its next scheduled back up and it says there is an error

I just did my initial back up to hard drive (My Passport for Mac 1TB) with TIme Machine on Snow Leopard. I had wanted to omit trash but couldn't find it. All went great and finished in an hour. Then said would restart at 6pm. I went into options about 20 minutes before (when it was done initially) to try and find how to delete trash from being backed up next time.. THis messed things up and now it doesn't recognize the disk and won't let me manually back up...says error. What do I do?

Working with Pages and Word-questions!

NOTE: Sorry for the similarity of this to my post a few minutes ago titled "Which do I use, Pages or Word)? I learned some things through experimentation and have created subtler and more challenging questions for you.
Help me out here (please). I am now working with Pages, sharing documents with dozens of behind the times colleagues who are using some old program called "Word." It's my job to work with these people and I'm trying to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
Do I have this right? When I create a document (or open an old Word document into pages), in order to be able to share it with people, I save it, and check the box to save a copy in Word format. Then when I send my documents, it works like a charm. Yes?
If I start by opening a Word document, and every time I save I check "save copy to Word," I end up with only one document, no version in Pages. If I start with a Pages document, or save without checking the box, I end up with two separate versions of the document (like when I create a pdf)? It appears that if I I want to keep working in the Word format, every time I save it will give me a dialog box and make me check the box (and possibly select my location). This is cumbersome since I am now in the habit of saving often (you learn that when you work with Word for the Mac for any period of time--bomb, bomb, bomb). So, an I correct in assuming that if I want to save regularly, I really have to work in Pages, and then be scrupulous about saving into Word when I'm done for the day, or just before I send? It's sort of a pain in the butt, although I can learn to do it--I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Also, is there an autosave function so I don't have to rely on my discipline? Or does it never ever bomb?
What happens if I open the Word version and make changes to it? Do I have to do something differently to make sure I have both versions identical? Am I better off always to open the Pages document to work on, then save and send?
Do I always then have two versions of the same document (like I would if I did this same thing with pdf)?
How do I make sure that the Word version is always up to date since that is the one I am sending to colleagues? Do I always have to save and check the box, and then select the correct document to send?
I do see that when sending a single document I can easily send it while I am in the document itself. When I do this, selecting to send it as a Word document (or a pdf for that matter), will it send the version I most recently saved, or the version that is on my screen (if I forgot to save changes)?
FInally, I'd be open to any tips from people working regularly with others who must use Word. I want it to work as simply as possible, but want to set up some good habits from the beginning.
Finally, finally, have you had problems with compatibility. I have to say that there have been very few Word document yet that I've opened that I haven't gotten a message that says that Pages doesn't support some aspect of the document and formatting is removed, or spacing is different, etc. The most common is that "paragraph borders operate differently so all borders except outside borders have been removed." I'm a bit nervous about this--will I be getting documents from others that I can't trust? Will I have to ask them to send a pdf as well so I can confirm that I got it right? Can anyone ease my mind? Or am I living in reality?
Thanks a million!

Message was edited by: eagerlearner

Well yes they are not the same program so there will be differences.
For example Pages only allows a border all the way around a paragraph with few options on the style of line, which is why you got the warning.
A workflow would consist of you doing your work in Pages however you like it and when you have finished and saved, making a Word copy which you despatch to your colleagues and then throw away.
Of course this is more cumbersome than sticking with MsWord which is another option. You choose. It comes down to whether or not you have to tightly conform and interact with Word users. Maybe Pages is not for you, or even NeoOfffice which is a clone of MsOffice.
Test it. If it works and you like it stick with whatever solution works for you.

Expanding network with TC and access question

Hi All
I need to look at a new external hard disk since my current 160gb is just getting too full, so I figured it might be time to get a Time Capsule, probably the 1tb.
I've got two questions before I do..
1. Currently I have Sky Broadband. I've read a lot of people saying that it is not possible to make TC part of the existing network through wifi so have to connect. If thats the case I'm probably better off with standard network drive. Has anyone managed to do this yet? Im wondering if the reviews I've read are just that people couldn't work it out?
2. I assume this is the case, but can I access the HD as a standard network drive for general storage? Is it possible to define how much space Time Machine can use say 500gb, and leave 500gb for general usage?
Many thanks for any answers

The issue I have is that Sky Broadband forces you to use their router for broadband access. They hide the user name and password on a chip so it is not possible to configure.
Besides my phone is downstairs and my printer is upstairs in the little office. My plan was to have TC upstairs, with printer connected. Have both the TC and Sky Broadband router all part of the same network.
Then I'd use a cable to do the first backup and use wireless for incremental backups.
It does look as though I can't use this configuration. But its a bit strange, I thought it was part of standard wireless networks that you could use access points to extend them. I assume then that apple are not using all of the standards?
If that is the case, I'd have to plug it into my router as a wired option, in which case any external HD with a network interface will do half the job I need.
I'm just trying to find out if anyone has managed to get it extended from sky (or other router). Note I can change my sky router settings so in theory could change the sky one to use the apple settings, does that make a difference? Anyone had success that way?
