Do I need to keep the Capsule plugged in to my cable modem in order to use it for backup?

The location of my cable modem is really inconvenient. I'd like to move the Capsule to a different room. Do I need to keep it connected to the cable modem in order to be able to use it as my Time Machine backup device?

I assume your cable modem is a router.. as such the TC should be wired to it in bridge. It will not do anything worse than now for the network in the house.. and the TC can then be accessed as per normal.
TC is designed to be plugged into the modem or main router by ethernet.
You can move it anywhere you like in the house as long as you have ethernet connection back to the modem.
You can run the TC by wireless .. it will have the following effects.
1. Super slow backups. It will simply reduce the current wireless speed by half or more for backups.
2. Since there is no QoS your internet will stop during backups. Or near to.
3. You will affect all wireless clients during the backups.
It can work, if your backups are very small.. but the TC becomes a near to useless dumb client in the network.. ethernet ports are off, wireless becomes mere client.. so you cannot even connect directly to it.
If you try the TC in stand alone.. ie a secondary network.. that can work.
1. The computer will then have backups or internet not both. You will need to deliberately connect to the TC to get backups working. That is assuming you use wireless.
2. You can do it with ethernet. and have internet by wireless. but the setup is tricky.. tell us if you want to proceed this way.
3. The problem is, the TC now becomes useless to the whole network and is only used by one computer. You may as well have bought a cheap USB drive, which is more reliable and faster.

FF4.0 causes my Incredimail client to NOT work. How can I fix this? I luv 4.0 but I can only use one or the other. I need to keep the e-mail client operational, so I reverted back to 3.6.15 for now.

Ok finally I found a place where I can actually submit a bug report and ask for help. Honestly, this web site is the pitz for user friendliness! Firefox 4.0 is causing my Incredimail client program to NOT work. As soon as I degraded back to 3.6.15 then Incredimail worked just fine again, but will not work if I have installed 4.0. That seems to be the only problem I have found.

I'm relieved to know that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem. But why is Mozilla/Firefox developers or troubleshooters not posting any comments on this like perhaps . . . "We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix."
I have not received any communication from them on this forum or on twitter or anywhere else. Anyway I really love FF4.0 and really would like to use both programs together, As it is I have had to go back to 3.6.16 in order to use Incredimail. Firefox/Mozilla, please respond in some form to this request.

I have an Airport Extreme, I want to replace it with a Time Capsule. I swapped my cables to the new TC, unplugged both Cox Cable modem and Airport Extreme. Started up by plugging A/C power for Cox Cable modem, then power to TC. Result is blinking amber

I tried unplugging again and restarting the TC first, still gets blinking amber light. I even reset the TC because I was using it for backups only in the network, I just want to move it to the primary position. I don't even get the option of starting a new network.
I need help.

Blinking amber light is not the issue.. that will involve lots of issues due to your reset.
Make sure you have a computer plugged into the TC by ethernet.. do not do setups over wireless.
Even if you need to do the setup in complete isolation that doesn't matter.. it will work when you return it to the network.
Do a full factory reset.. I am not sure what resets you have done up to now.. full factory means you hold in reset before applying power.. and keep holding in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. About 10sec.
The TC must be in router mode if your cable modem is only a modem.. but I don't know if your cable modem is pure modem or modem router.. if the later then the TC should be in router bridged mode.
Once you have that right.. plug it back into the modem if you had to remove it..
Power cycle again if you need to. It can take 15min or more of modem off to reset the cable setting for MAC address.
Then you can setup wireless, although you can also do it whilst connected by ethernet which is usually better.
What airport utility are you using.. the latest one is too automatic.. stop any attempt to automate the setup and do it manually if you get stuck.
Even use the old utility is sometimes better.. 5.6 can be loaded even on Mountain Lion with a bit of a fiddle.

HP Battery, Is It OK to keep the charger plugged in ?

Hi All
This is my first question here and I hope you'll help me
I want to ask if it is OK to keep the charger plugged in the laptop while the battery is full ?
I mean when the battery is 100%, will the energy go directly to the PC or it will go to the battery before ?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Nowadays batteries should be smart enough to stop getting charged when full. I can't see the difference from removing and keeping batteries on AC, some machines sit on docking stations all the times and some machines can be ON/OFF. This is my reply to another post:

Migrate Active Directory 2008 to 2012 but need to keep the same ip address and server name

Hi,
Current setup is 2 DCs in one site running 2008 R2 AD.
We are planning to migrate from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 but need to keep the same ip address and server name. I have came up two plans to do this and hope someone can tell me which one would be the best approach. What is the pros
and cons in Plan A and B or may be plan C if there is a better one?
First, I was planning to do plan A but just had a second thought of Plan B. My concern in Plan A is about changing the server name when the new 2012 R2 already running as DC. Plan B would be changing all the old server
name and ip before they become member sever and DC.
Any information and suggestion would be very appreciated.
Plan A
Run adprep /forestprep on 2008 R2 DC
Build a new 2012 R2 server and promote it as 3rd DCs in current Domain
Transfer FSMO from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2
Run Repadmin /syncall to force replication
Rename the demoted 2008 R2 DC to something else
Change the demoted 2008 R2 ip address to something else
Restart the demoted 2008 R2 server to take effect
Now, run Netdom computername command to change the new 2012 R2 server name to the old 2008 R2 DC server name
Change the new 2012 R2 DC's ip to old 2008 R2 DC's ip
Run ipconfig /flushdns
Run ipconfig /registerdns
DCDIAG to see any error
Plan B
Build 2 new 2012 R2 standalone servers
In 2008 R2 ServerA transfer FSMO to 2008 R2 ServerB
Demote 2008 R2 ServerA to become member server
Rename 2008 R2 ServerA to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
Now, rename one of the new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA name
Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA's ip address
Add the new 2012 R2 standalone server (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) to become member server
Run adprep /forestprep on the 2008 R2 ServerB
Promote the new 2012 R2 (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) as DC
Transfer 2008 R2 ServerB FSMO to the new 2012 R2 DC (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip)
Demote 2008 R2 ServerB as member server
Rename 2008 R2 ServerB to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
Now, rename the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerB name
Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 SeverB 's ip address
Add the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to become member server
Promote it as DC
Run DCDIAG to check error
Thanks.

Hi,
Renaming a Domain Controller is a risky operation which may lead to issues, therefore, I would suggest you go with the Plan B, rename the server before it becomes DC.
Here is a blog below which could be helpful to you:

Oracle Linux 5.6 - Do I need to keep the xen kernel ?

I am using the Oracle Linux 5.6 kernel 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5 also know as the UEK Release 1 in an OVM x86_64 environment.
Question: Since the Guests are paravirtualized and require Xen specifc I/O drives ( network, disk, etc. ) does that mean I need to keep the Xen kernel rpms, i.e.,
kernel-xen-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5
and this entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf
          title Oracle Linux Server (2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen)
          root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/ numa=off
         initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen.img
The main driver for this question is I am trying to determine if these rpms are accessed in any way when the UEK Release 1 is in use. If so, then I will need
to heed to the Security Scan results against the xen kernel version otherwise I will ignore them and move forward.
Thanks

The following is from the OL 6.5 release notes:
https://oss.oracle.com/el5/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-en.html
Hardware virtualized guest with kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.35.1.el5uek and higher
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel version kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.35.1 adds support for paravirtualized drivers in a harware virtualized guest on Oracle VM. Starting this kernel version hardware virtualized guests which are not configured to use paravirtualized drivers will need an additional kernel boot parameter "xen_emul_unplug=never" in /etc/grub.conf:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-100.35.1.el5uek ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 xen_emul_unplug=never
With kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.35.1 and higher, the default is to present only paravirtualized drivers when running in a hardware virtualized guest on Oracle VM. Adding this kernel boot parameter makes the kernel also present the emulated drivers as it did before (e.g. the 8139cp network driver may no longer load if this parameter is not set).
Older version of Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel do not have support for hardware virtualized guest that uses paravirtualized drivers (PVHVM).

Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HT4859 If all devices are backed up on iCloud, do I still need to keep the files on my computer?

If all devices are backed up on iCloud, do I still need to keep it on my computer? It takes up a lot of space.

"iCloud Backup" is a little misleading.
Apple says you get "unlimited free storage for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books" but then goes on to say "previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore". Therefore what you purchased is really not "backed up". Your "backup" is no more than your ability to download your purchases again, and that is nothing new. The content remains where it originated - on iTunes, if it's still available.
Apple could easily change its mind and remove it, change it, or simply make it unavailable.
Photos and videos in your camera roll are backed up, but photos and music that originated on your computer's iPhoto and iTunes Libraries are not.
Your free 5 GB of iCloud storage is also used for iWork documents stored in iCloud, app data, all of which is lumped in with "Storage and Backup".
Same thing for iTunes Match I'm afraid... iTunes Match does not back up your content and is therefore not a backup strategy. It finds a "match" in its vast library and permits you to access it. There have been a lot of complaints from purists who found their mono Beatles tracks were "matched" with stereo equivalents, "explicit" tracks matched with clean, etc.
Contrast this with a traditional backup associated with iTunes syncing. In that case everything really is backed up to your computer - apps, purchases, music, videos, everything.
The bottom line is that iCloud is no substitute for one's own iTunes backup, and a backup / clone of the device containing it.

I updated to cc2014, do I need to keep the cc version?

Hello Everyone,
I updated to cc2014, do I need to keep the cc version?
For example, Do I need to keep Premiere Pro CC if I have Premiere Pro 2014?

No, you can remove any older version you wish to.

Do I need to keep the .dmg after installing an application ?

I drag the dmg to the application folder and do the install, do I need to keep the .dmg afterward? as i`m doubling up on files and filesize,

No, unless you're running the application straight off the dmg.

Do I need to keep the project in Library once I've shared it to Theatre

Using the new version of iMovie I have made a movie from photo's and movie clips. I have shared it to Theatre so do I still need to keep the project in the Library. Can I delete it to save space? I am reluctant to delete the projects in case it deletes the movie from Theatre. Can anyone help please?

There is something else to consider. Your processor speed will be reduced and you are much more at risk of losing data should the power go out unexpectedly:

Apple's recommendation is that you not run without the battery.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF FOLDER IN DOCK IF YOU NEED TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FOLDER

Hi there,
If I put a folder of pictures on the new Leopard dock, can I trash the original folder? I want to keep my desktop clean and just have it in the dock but I think it will just delete the folder if I do that. If this is the case, what is the point of keeping the folder in the dock if you still need to keep the same original folder on the desktop or elsewhere on your hard drive? Thanks to anyone who can hep with this!

If it behaves as in Tiger, then the folder will indeed be deleted.
If this is the case, what is the point of keeping the folder in the dock if you still need to keep the same original folder on the desktop or elsewhere on your hard drive?
If the folder is on your desktop, then it's rather easy to access, but if it's buried on your hard drive, you my not want to open a Finder window if you need to access it regularly. Basically, placing a folder in the Dock creates an alias (shortcut) to the folder. But if you place the folder in the Dock and move the actual folder to your documents folder (for example) instead ot trashing it, your desktop will still be clean, and you'll be able to access your folder easily. IMO, it's not that bad…

It does no harm. It won't over charge.

Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

Do I need to keep the Capsule plugged in to my cable modem in order to use it for backup?
