Can i set timer to dim backlight?
Is there a way to keep screen lit all the time when plugged in to a powersource? The alarm apps can bypass sleep timer and keep screen lit all night. So since the ipad is capable of doing that for the clock apps, where do i set it like that for all apps when plugged in?
Only by going to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and setting time to Never. However, some email accounts. for security reasns, will not allow /show the Never.

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?
Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Can I set Time Machine to backup both my hard drive and an external hard drive?
Hi. I've been working with a lot of family video lately and my internal hard drive has filled up significantly. iMovie doesn't seem to have a good archiving facility like Adobe InDesign which I use at work were all the relevant files are gathered together into one folder. Apple advised me to relocate my movie files to an external hard drive and herein lies my query.
Is there a way for me to set Time Machine to backup both my iMac's internal drive and the external hard drive that would contain my movie files? I've been using Time Machine for my backups for a few years now, but backing up the external as well has me stumped. If Time Machine could be used then all the necessary file accociations etc would be safely backed up as well - that's why I don't want to have to manually backup the external.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!7string48 wrote:
Thanks so much Pondini!! You just quickly answered a question that none of the Mac people in 3 stores or Apple Care have been able to answer.If you can format it HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), it will work. If not, it won't.
I'm not too surprised about the Apple Stores, as they don't get much training on Time Machine. But AppleCare sure ought to know.
Oh...what about if the external drive is an array...like a Drobo with it's own proprietary formatting...I guess that would not work...??
I've never used a Drobo. A number of folks here have used them as their Time Machine drives, but I don't recall seeing anyone try to back one up with TM, so can't say for sure. But if you can format it as HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), it will work. If not, it won't.
At least part of the reason is, Time Machine uses the File System Event Store, a hidden log of changes that OSX keeps on each Mac-formatted disk/partition, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed-up. See How Time Machine works its Magic for details.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of backing-up multiple volumes with Time Machine.
However, even if it will work, that may not be your best strategy, depending on your circumstances:
Since Time Machine keeps copies of things you've changed or deleted, the destination needs to be considerably larger than the data being backed-up. How much larger varies widely depending on how you use your Mac, but a general "rule of thumb" is, it needs at least twice the space to be able to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups for you.
If you have a large internal HD, fairly full, plus a large external HD, and the files on the external don't change frequently, you might want to use Time Machine for the internal, and a different app to a different disk or partition, on a different schedule, for the external. Especially if space is a consideration, you might not need to keep previous versions of files on the externals. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for some alternatives. -
TS2972 My Apple TV 3 can not set time network, since one week from now, before was working perfectly
My Apple TV 3 just stop working, it can not set the time network I have call for support and done everything as requested and still nothing, can somebody help me with This it has pass a week and nothing yet. I even restored as support toll me too, no timé still can be set. HELP PLEASE
I have the exact same problem as KAR1973, and have tried everything. Relatively new latest Gen ATV, worked fine for couple months, then suddenly today will not set network time, will not activate, and only shows the "computer" and "settings" icons on menu screen. Will not allow me to log into AppleID/Itunes account.
Very frustrating. Tried resetting, restoring (on screen and directly connected to Itunes) mutliple times, rebooted router multiple times, even checked the ntp settings in router (get network time shows as "enabled"), tried it all on wireless and ethernet, and still same problem.
Appears many people have same problem based on google searches. My question is what is Apple doing about this?? Am tired of spending hours trying to figure this out, so am putting it away, and will buy a Roku or another competitor's box instead.
Apple needs to do a better job standing by its product, figure out what the problem is, and put out some helpful guidance, particularly for people who don't have advanced computer or network expertise (inculding myself.) -
How can I set times to receive emails?
Hi, can anyone tell me how I can set times on my iphone 4s when I do not want to receive emails?
You can not do so other than by manually disabling the accounts when you do not want to get e-mail or changing the polling method to manual.

Why my atv can't set time and date after restoring it using itunes ?
when my atv restarting after I restored it using iTunes, it can't set the time and date.
the atv is connected to the net by wi - fi.
when I try to sign in using my apple id, I get a massage that the password is incorrect.
I have apple tv with ios 7.The network and signal test on device won't give the full picture, for that you need a network report. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar, that will show true signal strength as well as any nose detected. You can also try Ethernet to help rule out WiFi issues.

Can not set time and date fax setting on officejet 4620
Can not set the time and date on Officejet 4620 when faxing. There are no setup options available. The log always shows "Jan 00 00:00 AM".
The time and date setting should be under the setup tools or fax setting in the printer control panel.1. Click the wrench icon on the control panel of the printer.
2. Scroll to Tools.
3. Scroll to Time and date. -

Can't set times or edit photos
Hi all.
I am havig an issue with iMovie HD6.0.3 I am currently running on a fresh 10.4.8 install and the apple apps are the only ones installed at the moment. no codecs, flip for mac or plug-ins etc-.. the movie has been moved into the movie folder from an external hard drive via fw400.
Regardless of how the photo is imported, drag from finder, iphoto list in iMovie, "apply" i cannot control the time. The latest default on import regardless of settings comes in with 00:02 time settings and no ken burns effect. I am unable to do anything with them. Any changes results in a 09:29 time setting and any undo of the changes result in the loss of the ability to edit these photos (I have not emptied the trash)
TIA

Macbook Pro 2.16 GHz ICD Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hi Karl
Hence the name. Please excuse my slow response as I had not noticed you had posted back.
Once upon a time the slider was the method around the madness but now there is even more madness to this method as it no longer works. I am very familiar with this long-standing issue. -.. and what it could lead to.
http://www.megimage.com/easyupload/picstore/200612/200612000000515.tiff
It seems to me, by reading some of your other posts, you may be a bit familiar with iMovie/OS X below the GUI and maybe even beyond the scripts and strings. Am I correct in that assumption? And if so is this something you care to assist someone with? As I read the various posts and rummage through iMovie's and QT Pro's "framework" it seems that a lot of issues that appear, on the surface, to be unrelated indeed are and it seems to occur within the various communications pertaining to the all new media browser and other iM frameworks permeating throughout the OS, iLife and iWork suite of products.
One question I can't seem to find the answer to is if I am correct in assuming that in the second line below, the between values appear to me to be identical (= and not<) I get this error message quite often even when input is within this range regardless of how it is set (slider or textbox) and the message displays 00:03 and 60:00 when the dialogue appears on the screen. I am aware that this is a script for displaying an error message but it has to be compared somewhere as it produces a calculated or called value and I haven't figured out exactly where all these places are-.. yet.
/* number formatter error dialog (P&Z duration, ClipInfo panel) */
InvalidValue = "Invalid Value";
InvalidValueErrorFormat = "%@. The value must be between %02d%@%02d and %02d%@%02d.";
SecondsAndFramesFormat = "Invalid timecode. Please use only numbers in the format “00:00” in seconds and frames. (There are %d frames in a second.)";
One other thing I have noticed as well is that QT (stand alone and iM frameworks) uses a decimal point in the frame count calculation and it's references appear to be easy to locate throughout always referring to time 00:00:00:00.00 (hr:mn:sd:fr.fr) (%d: like not zeros) where iMovie is typically 00:00 (sd:fr) (again written in gibber) I have not located anything indicating a maximum of a 60 min movie in iM but because of the time parameters that are listed above-.. and then when this post popped up
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=749957&tstart=30
which again lead me right back into the Frameworks of iMovie and I noted the time at which it hung and it made me even more suspicious. Then at second glance I realized that according to this dialogue it appears to be iM is referring to 60 what? seconds and frames? yet could only really be 59.29. sd:fr, 59:59 mn:sd. So am I really just a fruit off the vine or do I make any sense? The 24 hour clock doesn't use 60 anywhere. 60 could only be used as a tenth or a fraction of a frame.
And then there are posts like this for which I can replicate things that would appear to cause this.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=753853&tstart=15
http://www.megimage.com/easyupload/picstore/200612/200612000000553.tiff
Note the timeline on the **** right in the below link the clip duration and the duration of the previous clip which you can see is below the min 00:03. Aside from extended durations there are also those who lose the last few seconds or so and am wondering if it has to do with the fact that iM simply does not calculate properly nor does it read the last frame. Select any clip and play or go to the end of the timeline to see.

Can't Set Time in "Reminders" App
This seems like a really basic question that should be a non-issue, but I can't figure out how to set a specific Time for the "Reminders" application on my Macbook Air 2012 (with Mountian Lion).
I can creat New Reminders, name them, I can make a reminder go off "by day" or "by location".
When I try to set a reminder "by day", I can name the note - then I have the ability to make the note "show info", where I can adjust which day on the calendar the note will be for. I can adjust the date by clicking the date, which opens up a calendar.
However, if I click the time, nothing happens. It seems to automatically set the time it will go off as the start of the following hour.
Is there a bug with my app or am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for much for your helpFirst of activate Speech & Dictation from System Preferences,you will be offered a warning! If you do activate Speech & Dictation then open the Reminders app, place your cursor in the list on the right, tap the fn key twice then say what you want... Call mother 29th of September at 4 PM press fn key once to finish.
Note: the fn key is the default activation key but it can be changed to suit your needs. -
I am having a problem setting the speed and pause for a title. The title appears for about 2 seconds, but I can't make it stay for any longer period with the speed and pause sliders or by tying in a number in either. Some of the titles have a message that they can be no longer then 3 seconds, others say they are 40 to 50 seconds. If I set the time for the clip to longer it has no effect on the time for a title. I am not new to iMovie but I could still be doing something wrong, although this looks pretty straightforward. Please help.
iMovie's title durations are not accurate as you have noticed.
As a workaround, in the time line you could apply a little speed up or slo mo to the title clip, using the VideoFX effect "slow/fast/reverse". That would speed up the title or slow it down.
Or you could create two title clips side by side, and trim the right hand edge of the left clip and the left hand edge of the right clip so that the two pause portions of the title are joined together. That would extend the pause section.
Or you could do an Edit > Still Frame of the pause, and then splice it into the title to extend the pause. -
Can't set time in reminders app in OS X ML
hey,
according to apple's instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11838,
setting a time for a reminder in the OS X Mountain Lion is just like doing it on an iDevice:
4.Click the time to enter a different time.
But not so, when adding a reminder in the Reminders.app on my mac and trying to modify the date, for instance,
it does let me change it, but when clicking the time it doesn't react.
and clues?For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac? -
How can I set time signature for my song?
I wanted to compose a song in Garageband in a time signature 3/4. I couldn't see any setting which lets me set it. Also I wanted to know what all time signatures do Garage Band support ?E.g. 2/3/, 4/4, 6/8,7/8 ...Would really appriciate if someone can help.
As far as I'm aware GarageBand for iPad only supports 4/4 time, at least in it's present form.

Can't set time/time zone on my iPad mini
my time zone is searching and I am unable to set correct time on iPad mini. Any suggestions?
I had this exact problem one time and what finally fixed it for me was restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restoring a previous backup that I had. I did not backup, restore and then restore the backup. I was afraid that backing up the iPad that had a corrupt setting and the. Restoring that same backuo would leave me in the same position that I was in when I started. I backuo every couple of days so I always have a very recent backup to restore.
Having said that, there are some other things to try before you consider restoring the iPad. Close the Settinsg app and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, reset all settings.Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost. But all device settings will have to be entered again.
IF both of those things fail, the last thing that I would try before restoring is to sign out of your ID, reset the iPad, and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID>Sign Out. Reset the iPad as described above, the. Go back to the settings and sign in again.
If still no luck, you might want to think about restoring the iPad. I would try backing up, restoring to factory settings and restore the backup, But if you have a very recent backup, I wouldn't bother backing up again. I would restore the recent backup.
