Did you know that the User Library Directory is not Backed Up by TimeMachine unless its visible?

It is the default both in LION and Mountain LION OSX systems to hide the user's Library Directory from visibility. This actually causes a nasty problem with Time Machine Backups and the inevitable Restore. Because it is invisible, it is never picked up by Time Machine and backed up. Thus if one decides to do a restore from a time machine backup it is a complete fail. You must unhide the directory to back it up to time machine.

Not exactly.  It is backed up, and if you do a full restore you will get it back (I have done this).  It is just hidden in TM just as it is on your HD.  No worries about the TM backup.  All is backed up.

  • Did you know that the  carrier Verizon offer the merge conference call or internet while on call on the iphone? Only AT

    Did you know that you can't use the merge function on a iPhone 4s with Verizon Wireless? They blocked the function only AT&T has it, also Verizon doesn't allow browsing the Internet while on a call like AT&T, huge mistake Verizon. For people that conference call, don't get tricked into changing carriers until Verizon changes this feature.

    Not sure about the merging of calls, but being able to browse the internet while on a call can't be done with CDMA technology -- so it's not that Verizon doesn't allow it, it just can't be done on their network. This is old news ...

  • Hey hi i am a iOS developer just wanted to know is there a way that i can know that the user of my app has deleted my app plzz reply its really urgent......

    iOS5 iphone 4s
    I recently developed a App and wanted to know has the user deleted the app???
    The Scenario is like
    Consider a User ......
    In my App he adds 100 tasks and scedules it for APNS on a daily basis
    and deletes the app
    and on the other day again downloads the app he gets the apns for all 100 tasks though no tasks are present,
    as the tasks are mapped on apple Device Tokens.
    So Please help me on the issue........

    If you are a developer, then this should be posted to the developer forums.
    The question has nothing to do with using an iPhone in the Enterprise (i.e. a Corporate environment).

  • Did you know that the software purchased from the App Store could be an old version?

    Today I purchased Adobe Photoshops Elements fro the App Store.  I never thought to check the version number, it never crossed my mind that could be the old version I was buying.  Apparently the latest version available on the App store is version 10 however the new version 11 was released back in Spetember apparently.  Once I had realised my error (as I would never have bought it if I was aware of this) I contacted Apple tech support.  To cut to the chase they believe that I was not mis-sold the software as the software states version 10 in the App Store. 
    <Edited by Host>

    Adobe must send the application to the App Store so Apple can put it in the App Store. If you want 11, purchase it in Adobe webpage or contact with Adobe and ask them if they're going to send the most recent version to Apple

  • Did you know that the Ipad 1 will not be able to upgrade to 6.0 so it will be obsolete within 6 months?

    I am pretty upset.  Not very cool of Apple to not annouce that they have Obsoleted the Ipad 1.
    No upgrade process or anything.

    Apple said when they announced iOS 6 months ago that it would not be supported on the iPad 1, so it should have come as no surprise to you. But your iPad is by no means obsolete. It does everything that it did on the day you bought it and almost certainly more since there has been two major upgrades to iOS and a number of minor ones since then.
    If you get upset about such things easily, then you'll probably want to avoid purchasing any of this sort of device, since all manufacturers similarly stop providing updates a while after the device is discontinued. If fact, Apple provides updates for long than many manufacturers do.
    Regards.

  • Did you know that the iPad 2 speaker system is actually stereo?

    I ran across this by mistake one day, and I couldn't believe it. But I was able to prove it in this video. You can do this experiment yourself, so don't take my word for it.

    Cheers

    Well yes, but...to have the true sterophonic sound effect one must place one's ears 3/4 of the distance from the speakers of the distance that separates the speakers...have to place the ears awfully close to that iPad

  • Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

    Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"  without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

    Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
    Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
    You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
    Good Luck

  • [URXVT] Did you know about the contextual menu ?

    Hey folks,
    I've been using urxvt for some years now but just realized that if you select some text, and do a Ctrl+right click, you get a menu with things like copy to clipboard or rot13 (??).
    Did you know about this ? Is it a new feature ?
    Are there more hidden things like this ?
    I know about the Ctrl+Shift keycapture mode.

  • How to know that the user pressed the refresh button??

    hi there..
    how can i no that the user has pressed the browser "Refrsh" button so that i can respond with the appropriate action????
    thanx..

    Well, you can't know if refresh was pressed vs. hitting enter in the location bar to trigger a refresh. There isn't any simple way to know, though. Some kind of page hit counter or something, maybe.

  • Did you know that using the erase feature for stolen iPads can fail? Mine did and was not detected for 10days.

    Thursday(day 1):Had an iPad2 wifi only which I rarely used, stolen.
    minutes later, pulled up findmyphone on iCloud and put a lock on iPad and then erased the iPad.
    Sunday(day4) : I noted websites opened on my iphone that I had not opened.
    Monday: Spooked, I went to genius bar was informed that it would have been wiped since the thief had been hooked to wifi and thus the iPad would have been erased.
    Sunday(day 11), my iCal has been deleted totally from all my devices (iMac, iPhone, MacAir)
    Monday (day12): I go to genius bar with Time Machine backup drive and some magic is worked to recover it. The conclusion was that the thief of my iPad wiped it out. And, " there are always ways to get into the iPad if they really want to with firewalls etc....".  And I needed to change my iCloud password (which the first guy did not suggest and stupidly I did not presume I needed to do).
    Monday: (day 12) Password changed. OK, done.
    Wednesday (day14): I open my photo stream on the iphone and see screen shots of websites dated from as recently as day 10! These of course showed up on my iMac and my iPhone amongst my own photo shots. Talk about feeling violated and failed.
    Moral of story: Can not trust that the erase feature works.
                              Change every single  password you have as there is not assurance that a track has not been made.
                              And, do not have more than one user on your device: such as your spouse as their stuff could be compromized too.

    The pages panel is not the place where you see this information.  You can customize the Links panel to show all sorts of things, including the page number, effective and actual ppi, and whether the link is OK or needs updating.

  • Extract Embedded Images-did you know that-

    there is actually a feature in Illustrator to do this even though it is not called Extract Images?
    Not only that once you extract the image you can update it as well  you do not have to lace it again and reposition it.
    When I saw this and realize it was there I could not believe it as it has been asked so many times and there have been numerous work arounds.
    The reason I think it has passed everyone by is that it is not located in the links panel.
    So to the chase.
    Edit>Edit Image
    and then
    Edit>Update Image
    The former opens the embedded image in Photoshop
    edit it there and then save it
    then back in Illustrator go to the latter and it will be updated.
    Never noticed this before.
    The only draw back is that it seems to only work on one image at a time.
    I wonder how many users here knew about this little feature?

    Why not?
    You will have trouble getting the original resolution in case the image has been scaled in Illustrator.
    Yes you're right about that, and it is the best way if you have the original Illustrator file with the embedded image.
    In my defense, I'm mostly having to do this sort of thing with PDFs that are sent to me. Most cases I have to change something in the PDF or pull artwork out for another project we are working on. After opening the PDF in Illustrator, we then just copy the image and even paste it straight into an email (Mac) and request the original file. If the original is not to be had, we then paste the image into a new Photoshop file and relink it. If need be, we'll replace it with another image later.
    @rijackson --- you most surely can "Relink"... well that's what the button you choose in Illustrator is called... even if the image is embedded. This will place the image in the exact same place and size as the embedded image, thus "linking" it if you checked the Link box when placing.
    Also, you can always choose Link Information and see what transformations the image has went through regarding size and rotation. This is also with a native Illustrator file only. The information can be used to calculate what you need to do to the image to revert to it's original size and rotation. Rather unfortunate, because something intuitive like Freehand used to have, like changing the percentage and angle in the Appearance panel was far better and easier to revert images, embedded or linked.
    @rijackson --- considering all of the features and functions that Illustrator still does not have or are incomplete... yes, Illustrator as a whole is pathetic as the only pro vector alternative on the market. Not just this one omission, which is easily worked around. That's what I was trying to say to wazi9909.
    * I just thought it should be mentioned again, that Monika's correct answer only applies to a native Illustrator file if you have it, AND if you save with PDF Compatibility or as an Illustrator native PDF. With any and all other PDFs saved with a preset like for prepress... the images have been compressed, and will be as we call them "baked". No matter how you copy, paste, export or open, the resolution, size and quality is "finished".
