Can not remove users home folders from TM exclude list.

Hi
MBP mid 2012 10.9.3.
Been away from my TM for some time. So adjusted exclusions I have in place for regular backups. For some reason I can not remove the users home folder exclusion. I have reset TM by removing the plist. Everything reset apart from the exclusions. Any Ideas?
Cheers.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" selected. Move the file to the Trash.
Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
A folder named "ByHost" should open. Inside that folder, there may be a file with a long name beginning "com.apple.TimeMachine." If the file exists, move it to the Trash.
Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
    and problem with my Zip Drive.  However:
        1.  Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
        2.  To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
             coverings.  Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
              of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
          3.  I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
               theiomega zip drive in there.
    Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
    Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
    "ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
    Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
    I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
    clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
    continued to compile, so I closed it.
    Within my Mac OS X HD>  Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
    with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
    "No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found.  Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
    trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?

  • TS1702 Please I can not remove the viber icon from my iPhone 4s as it is a gray icon and have the word "waiting" under it and if I press long to have the (x) to delete it the (x) will not appear

    Please I can not remove the viber icon from my iPhone 4s as it is a gray icon and have the word "waiting" under it and if I press long to have the (x) to delete it the (x) will not appear

    Will it let you delete it on the phone now? If it still shows waiting, just tap it once on the app itself and it should download the rest  of the way. Do it while your on wifi tho.

  • Can I remove backuped files/folders from Azure Backup storage without un-registor the servers ?

    Can I remove backuped files/folders from Azure Backup storage without un-registor the servers ?
    I want to remove some backuped files/folders to compact Azure Backup Storage and to save the cost of Azure Backup.
    Scenario 1: remove tempolary files from Azure Backup Storage.
    Scenario 2: remove no-recovery files from Azure Backup Storage.
    Scenario 3: move the files from backup target folder to other storage's folder.
    Now, To remove backup files/folder from Azure Backup storage, I seems to need un-register the servers, and register the server.
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Thank you Giri, for quick reply.
    I want to save the Azure Backup storage cost, now.
    I don't want to pay the Azure Backup storage cost for no-restore-need files until the backup point gets aged.
    and I don't want to remove / re-backup the restore need files by un-register/register operation.
    I feedback this issue to feedback.azure.com.

  • Can't add users' home folders to Windows Libraries - "unindexed network location" error

    I am unable to add our users' home folders to their Windows Libraries on client PCs.  Windows is giving an unindexed network location error.
    This worked perfectly fine in WHS 2011, but is failing on WSE 2012 R2 Essentials.
    I've checked the indexing settings on the server, and the correct locations are in fact being indexed. 
    Since several of our clients have limited local storage, I can't solve this by turning on Offline Files.
    Is this behavior by design, or am I seeing a bug? 
    I'm guessing that on WHS 2011 the user folders are special-cased somehow, as normally one would need to include the share root in a library for federated indexing to work correctly.  What is it about WHS 2011 that makes this work, and is it possible
    to replicate these settings on our WSE 2012 R2 server?
    Thank you.

    No, our clients are not domain joined.
    To clarify, I'm not trying to redirect local folders, but rather to add the (automatically provisioned) user folder on the server to local libraries.  Federated search does support this scenario in WHS, so I assume it should work in WSE. 
    Trying to understand why I'm seeing the error.  Thanks.

  • Can I remove a SPECIFIC file from the "Recents" list?

         As far as I can see, Adobe Reader for Android has only the option of clearing ALL the files in the "Recents" list. It doesn't have the option of removing a specific file from the "Recents" list.
         Maybe I'm just missing the option I'm talking about or Adobe Reader doesn't really have that feature.
         Sensible answers to my question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi iSTULIN
    I assume you can delete the complete list, not the single file ...
    Please check the below link : http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2011/09/09/faqs-for-adobe-reader-on-android/

  • Can not remove second line in Jabber for Tablet device on CUCM

    Hi all,
    The functionality we are trying to achieve is that people will have different DNs for their desk phones and Jabber for iPad devices, but when they make a call from the iPad, the desk phone DN will be shown. I have been testing out the Primary extension feature in the CUCM but it doesn't work properly so far. And now, I added two different DNs to a Jabber for Tablet device and can not remove the second one from 'Modify button items'. It gives the following error :
    Update failed. TypeDbErrors.gen25083
    Any ideas on how to fix this? Any ideas on how to use the primary extension feature?
    Regards,
    Fikri
    Enironment :
    CUCM 8.6.2
    Jabber for iPad 9.3.2 / Jabber for iOS 9.6

    I would delete the device and recreate it or delete the DN and then put it back on the device(s) it does belong on. The only real way to fix this would a TAC case so they can open a defect for you.
    Primary Extension isn't used in any of the alerting/connected display states. The only way to achieve this would be a lot of very complicated translation patterns/partitions/CSSes with calling party transformations on them. For example, if your desk phone DN was 2000 but the tablet DN was 3000, the translation pattern that would need to match for every number you dial would have to transform the calling party to 2XXX.
    If you want an opinion, this is bad design. You don't email a person at a separate address for their desktop vs. their smartphone. CUCM is designed to work the same way: you are calling a user, not the device.

  • Users home folders not accessible on SMB, OS X 10.6.4

    Hello,
    I'm facing this very weird problem upon trying to connect my Windows XP SP3 clients to their respective home folders on Mac OS X Server 10.6.4.
    The other shares and public folders however work just fine.
    So, upon connecting to the home folder of the user from Windows, (on \\serverIP\username\ ) I keep getting the authentication login form as if I'm typing the wrong username or password.
    Of course the user's password is correct.
    Oddly enough I can connect and see all the users shares if I go on My Computer and type \\serverIP\ and then enter username and password. I can access the "Users" share and even see other users documents and files!
    It used to work very well before a server restart last night, I decided to update to 10.6.4 to see if the problem would go away but no luck.
    In the SMB service log I see the following everytime I try to connect directly to the users home folders:
    [2010/06/23 14:29:14, 0, pid=2834] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.4/samba/source/smbd/service.c:makeconnectionsnum(1047)
    '/Network/Servers/macmini-server.solinf.org/Users/silvia' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [silvia] Error was Host is down
    What puzzles me is that if I navigate from shell to /Network/Servers/macmini-server.solinf.org/ I find an alias called "users" that I cannot access.
    Anyone has any ideas what is causing this direct access to fail?
    Thanks in advance

    HI,
    If you have ClickToFlash installed, that could be a factor.
    Also, follow the instructions here to clear the Flash cache.

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

  • An app called AYI from Facebook is on my dashboard. I can not remove it. Overtime I open dashboard the app immediately opens safari and goes to the app. I don't have enough time to remove it in the normal manner..

    OS X Yosemite on my iMac 27 inch Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3,
    I have an app in my dashboard called AYI from Facebook.
    I can not remove it, every-time I open dashboard to remove it the app opens safari immediately and I can not delete the widget.
    I can not figure out how to manage this.

    This procedure will reset your Dashboard configuration to the default.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dashboard layer-gadgets && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

    You cannot delete from a smart playlist unless you also delete from your iTunes library (or change the criteria of the smart playlist).
    Just delete it from the library and it will delete from the Smart playlist.
    Option Delete removes it from the library and the playlist.
