Backup Failure, and Increasing Backup Amounts
Hey,
About a week ago, my Time Machine backup decided to include around 125 MB in the backup, instead of the usual 80 or so KB. I hadn't changed any settings. When it decided to do this, it couldn't backup anymore, and now spends hours on 0MB of "x" MB. The "x" number seems to keep going up as well (it was at 246MB today). Does anyone know how to fix this or know what might be causing it?
Thanks for your help
The backups do try to run, but I tried to stop them. This usually ends up with the TM Status saying "Stopping Backup" endlessly. I got the Time Machine Buddy widget, it shows this - - -

Rman backup failure, and is generating a large number of files.
I would appreciate some pointers on this if possible, as I'm a bit of an rman novice.
Our rman backup logs indicated a failure and in the directory where it puts its files there appeared a large number of files for the 18th, which was the date of the failure. Previous days backups generated 5 files of moderate size. When it failed it generated between 30 - 40 G of files ( it looks like one for each database file ).
The full backup is early monday morning, and the rest incremental :
I have placed the rman log, the script and a the full directory file listing here : http://www.tinshed.plus.com/rman/
Thanks in advance - George

it seems to make backup copies of the datafiles every night, so the creation of these large files is normal ?Above results indicate that you have full (incremental level 0) backup(all datafiles copies ) and there happen update/recover (applying incremental level 1) backup.So there was happen applying */exlibris1/rmanbackup/database_f734055045_s243_s1* inremental backup to full(level 1) backup.And size should be normal
Why is it making copies of the datafiles even on days of incrementals ?
Because after getting level 1 backup and need applying and every day will apply one incremental backup. -
How to moniter "increase-rate" and "increase-amount" of segments??
Hi, all.
I would like to moniter "increate-rate" and "increate-amount" of database segments.
Is there any oracle dictionary that could help me to moniter "increase-rate" and
"increase-amount" of database segments??
I investigated awr-related dictionary, but I could not find it.
The version of oracle is 10.2.0.4.0.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.If the tables are set to MONITORING (which should be the default in 10.2 if memory serves), an approximate count of the number of rows inserted, updated, and deleted since statistics were last gathered should be in DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS.
I'm unclear, though, why you disabled the automatic statistics gathering job. It sounds like you've disabled the job and are now attempting to rewrite the GATHER STALE option. That gathers statistics on objects automatically only if DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS shows that a substantial fraction of rows have changed. If you have very large tables, it should be very rare that the GATHER STALE option would choose to gather statistics because it would take a very large number of changes to cause Oracle to consider the statistics stale.

I use Aperture on my Mac and have approx 450Gigs of raw files for my photos and growing. I'm running short on space and system is starting to slow down. What are the best ooptions to improve performance and increase space space.?
important to note that what you are talking about is not a backup
It is simple to ahve your iPhoto library on an external drive -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
And you can have multiple i{Photo libraries - one can be on your internal drive and other on an external drive -- iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is a very helpful tool for managing multiple libraries

I recently had a catastrophic hard drive failure and had to replace it. At the time, I had a VERY extensive music library and it is now lost. This entire library was also on iTunes. Is it possible to recover that library, or do I have to download again?
If your hard drive was not backed up then you can download items purchased from the iTunes Store.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Did you subscribe to iTunes Match service? If you did, your other music would be available too.
Note, this restores the music files themselves, not playlists, playcount, ratings, or other things associated with the actual library file structure.
You really should consider getting a backup drive. Hard drives failures are a certainty and it saves a lot of grief. -
Is there any way to increase the amount of space for all day events?
I have iCal on my ipad and my phone, and when I look at the daily view or weekly view, only 1 1/2 lines are shown. If I have a few events that are all day (I keep several calendars) then I have to scroll through them one at a time. And with my fingers, sometimes they go by too fast. Does anyone know how to increase the amount of space? I am using an iPad3, and an iPhone 5, both with ios 7.
Thank you!With Mac OS X, there is no way for you to alter the amount of real memory a program is allocated. This is all done dynamically by the OS. OS X's virtual memory management is far better than 'ole OS 9's.
What are saying about a memory leak? I take it that Safari is continually using more and more memory. How much memory is it usually taking up after a few hours? Perhaps you should just quit and restart Safari every few hours before it begins failing to respond. -
I have a Samsung S5, How can i increase the amount of time my phone rings?
So as stated in the Subject, I have a Samsung S5 it works really well so far, However when someone is ringing me it only rings 3 times. Is there a way i can increase the amount of times the phone rings before it goes to answer machine?
Hi,
Try this:
1. Dial *#61# and click Send. You will see your VM access number and the current ring delay time.
2. Write down the phone number displayed (including +1).
3. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum.
4. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Thanks, -
Is there a way on Mtn Lion or Mavericks to increase the amount of time between NetBIOS broadcasts?
Is there a way on Mtn Lion or Mavericks to increase the amount of time between NetBIOS broadcasts? I am aware of how to disable it using a terminal command, but I am looking to try and modify the interval without disabling it all together. I am hoping to improve network performance across several hundred Mac systems. Any help is appreciated.

Increase the amount of times you can "Step backward" alt+cntrl+z?
I find myself saving numerous iterations of my files, because the defualt settings only let step backwards a few times. Is there a way to greatly increase the amount of times you can step backward? I though perhaps the history window would let me double back on many of my actions, but even that did not go far back enough.
I'm not fully sure I follow you in this logic yet... I apologize if I'm being dense.
Saving your work occasionally is always a good idea, REGARDLESS of the number of history states. Even if you keep only 10 history states you'll lose just as much work if you haven't saved anything since the last several hundred steps and elephant droppings unexpectedly shut down your PC.
The important thing I'd like to note is that my choice of the number of history states, from what I have observed, does not seem to change the stability of Photoshop in any way.
If you find choosing a larger number of states does destabilize Photoshop on your system, perhaps you have RAM problems? Or maybe configuration issues? What do you have your RAM usage limit set to?
Your example about brush strokes is actually a good one to make my point that a deeper history can be a Good Thing. For example, if I touch up 75 spots (hot pixels in an astroimage, for example) with separate applications of the Spot Healing Brush, then I want to compare before and after images but I forgot to make a layer copy way back when, I can copy the image, go back 75 steps in the History, and paste the result over the original from an old history state to blink a before/after comparison.
The thing that's not been mentioned here is Efficiency. I have purposely populated my workstation with a lot of high reliability RAM (16 GB ECC). You might find Photoshop's efficiency going down if your system doesn't have enough RAM to be able to easily manage a deep history... Efficiency matters too, and hammering the scratch disk with a lot of I/O can not only slow things down for you but can also sometimes expose latent instability in a system.

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:
<http://web.mac.com/danauerbach>
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
dan auerbach
[email protected]Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

How to monitor OSD TS failure and get alert or report?
How to monitor OSD TS failure and get some alert or generate an report?
We have SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 with MDT 2013.
I have checked the OSD reports in SCCM and everyone is emty, where do SCCM get data to the what to activate?
(I thinking of "Task Sequence - Deployment Status" reports)
I am not sure people read report manually or lock at the MDT monitor view. So best I think that generate an email or incident in Service Manager when an TS fails.
We do have SCOM, SCSM, SCO.
Is there anyone that can point what way or what option I have?
/SaiTechSpecifically you could use this Status Message Query syntax to monitor your Task Sequences for errors:
select stat.*, ins.*, att1.*, att1.AttributeTime from SMS_StatusMessage as stat left join SMS_StatMsgInsStrings as ins on stat.RecordID = ins.RecordID left join SMS_StatMsgAttributes as att1 on stat.RecordID = att1.RecordID inner join SMS_StatMsgAttributes
as att2 on stat.RecordID = att2.RecordID where att2.AttributeID = 401 and att2.AttributeValue = "DOJ200A1" and stat.SiteCode = "DOJ" and att2.AttributeTime >= ##PRM:SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime## order by att1.AttributeTime desc
Just replace DOJ200A1 with the Deployment ID of your Task Sequence and DOJ with your SiteCode.
If you want to generate an alert if the TS fails then you could run a script that calls a utility (or similar) which sends a pre-configured email to a specified address (as an alternative to Torten's response). This could be placed in the built in error
logging section of the SCCM integrated MDT Task Sequence when it fails which I assume you are using (right at the bottom, called Gather Logs and StateStore on failure).
There are heaps of ways of generating an email from a TS and controlling error logging just do a search - as you have Service Manager you could even use your instance of Orchestrator and call a run book in your TS which does the email?
Cheers

I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password
First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions. -
Calculation and posting of discount on Payment and on net amount
Hello,
My client would like to configure posting of discount on payment. The discount should be calculated on the net amount and should also adjust the VAT input tax amount. Example:
PO: 100 EUR, VAT 10 EUR, Gross amt = 110 EUR, Invoice recieved: 110 (-110 on vendor,100 is posted on GR/IR and 10 on input tax). When payment is done, discount amounts to 2.2 EUR ( 110 is posted on vendor account, -107.8 on bank account, -2 on discount account, -0.2 in input tax).
Have anyone of you ever did this on SAP. Can you pleas explain me the steps if yes? Thank you for your help.Hi,
I have already did a test with base discount on net amount and base vat on net amount check. When those are check, during good receipt the purchase account is debit with the net amount (gross -discount) and during invoice the difference is then transferred to the purchase account. The tax is calculated on the net amount. This is not what we are looking for. For us we want to know if it is possible that during good receipt and invoice received everything is calculated without taking into consideration the discount received. It is only when we are doing the payment of the invoice that discount is calculated and the VAT amount is adjusted for with the discount received. Thank you for your help. -
Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk
Hi,
I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
*Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
