Do we need to stop DPM backups when updating SP2013 with CU

Hi - planning to install the Dec14 CU and want to know if it is required to Stop DPM protection when running PSConfig?
Our DPM guy says DPM protection cannot be paused - only stopped and this would remove the Protection group completely and we would need to reconfigure afterwards. He thinks that because DPM bacup is different to SQL in that it only reads the T Logs to synchronize
every 15min after the daly full backup at 8PM - so as long as we avoid running PSConfig when the full backup runs it should be no problem
I have always had SQL backups stopped when updating SharePoint - is the DPM guy right that I don't need to worry about DPM syncs?
Thanks

Hi,
As my understanding, your DPM guy is correct. DPM utilize VSS to protect your database, so there should be no impact when you upgrade SharePoint with DPM up. If you are not assured to do this, I suggest you set up an all in one test environment to test it.
Meanwhile, I would like to share the DPM Application Data Synchronization Process
for your reference.

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

I keep getting the error: "Menu Encoding Error... need to stop burning process" when I attempt to burn a DVD

Very frustrating... I'm trying to burn a DVD and I've done it about 100 times before. I've checked the mapping for errors and found none. When I attempt to burn a DVD, the error mentioned above appears after a few minutes. I've tried to update all software, restart the computer, and use other DVRs. Any adivice would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi
To be able to help we need more exact information and that You try out every suggestion as precise as possibly.
First step is as always - separate encoding from burn-process - By Save as a DiskImage from File menu in iDVD (as suggested by Old Toad)
If problem persists in encoding part then
• iDVD got a corrupted pref file - very common problem
• Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk get's too low to be able to store the temp. files from iDVD and Mac OS (can not be stored elsewhere)
• Material feed into iDVD - can not be digested as strange video codecs and audio files in .mp3 .wma and other exotic formats.
iDVD pref file - to find out if this is the problem - Easiest and most secure way is to - Create a new User-account and log into this. Re-try iDVD - If it now works OK then the problem is very close to 100% in the pref file. Either do Your work in the new Account or go back and trash the old pref file.
Space on Start-Up HD - I never go under 25Gb to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK
Material - Here You need to supply specific information
• Video - from what Camera - in what codec - If You can open a video file in QuickTime-Player then here open Inspector and read Video format/Codec: nnnnnnnn, size and frame rate - and tell us
• Audio - All audio I use is in .aiff 16-bit 48kHz (as from my miniDV Camera or 44.1 kHz as from Audio-CDs all other is converted to this. iTunes is even more problematic. Here I collect all needed audio into a new PlayList and this I BURN out as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) (never .mp3) and in my movie projects I use the files from this CD.

Need to stop cursor moving when external swf loads???

Hi, I am using a magnifying glass as part of my portfolio but when I click on another section and this loads an external swf above the main movie, because you can still see the main movie below, you can see the magify glass still moving as you move the cursor above??
you can see what I mean at :
www.zoeglazebrook.co.uk
any ideas how I can stop the magnify glass moving while i am on the external swf above?

OK, I wasn't following what that code was doing before, but try replacing all the code I gave you before with this (put it all on the timeline, and remove that function from the movie clip):
var mGInt;
magnifyingGlass.onPress = function(){
     startGlass();
function startGlass() {
     magnifyingGlass.startDrag("", true, 215, 120, 1080, 660);
     mGInt = setInterval(updateGlassImage,100);
function stopGlass(){
     magnifyingGlass.stopDrag();
     clearInterval(mGInt);
function updateGlassImage(){
     largeobject._x = (original._x-magnifyingGlass._x)*2;
     largeobject._y = (original._y-magnifyingGlass._y)*2;
     updateAfterEvent();
webBtn.onRelease = function()
     disableBtns();
     stopGlass();
     loadMovieNum("Advertorial/Advertorial.swf", 1);
function enableBtns():Void
      webBtn.enabled = true;
function disableBtns():Void
      webBtn.enabled = false;

Stopping Desktop ICON when Updating reader

Every time I Update Reader, it installs a desktop icon for reader. There doesn't appear to be an option to avoid that. I must drag it to the Recycle Bin every time and that is annoying. If I allowed every application on my computer to put an icon on the desktop, I'd need to scroll the desktop to find all of them. That would make the desktop less than useful. So could someone get to Adobe and suggest that they stop automatically putting an icon to reader on my desktop each time they release an upgrade? Besides, when does anyone ever launch the reader that way? I always double-click a PDF file and the reader opens. Who needs the icon?
Another issue is the installation of scripts (or apps) that run at startup. Again, if every program on my PC did that, I could go buy my groceries while the computer was booting. Fortunately, I have a program that watches for those startup applications and gives the option to allow or disallow the registry change. I usually disallow them for the reason stated. Unless these startup routines are absolutely essential in order for Adobe Reader to run, they should be made optional. I only have 1.5 GB of RAM and that could get filled just with resident apps loaded at boot time. As it is, over half of that memory space is gone by the time the operating system is fully loaded, including the various resident programs loaded by each of my applications.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to stop this gluttony?

Necessary to create backup when updating to 10.4.9 & 10.4.10

I've waited long enough to update my OS, and now, after finding more and more applications and hardware I want to use require later versions of Tiger to run, I would like to perform a software update, from 10.4.8 to at least 10.4.10. My questions are:
1) Should I make a backup of my files before this update?
2) What's the best way to backup my current system & files? I have an external hard drive I plan to use.
3) Are there any known issues with an update like this that I should be aware of for my computer model?

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Need advise for best practice when using Toplink with external transaction

Hello;
Our project is trying to switch from Toplink control transaction to using External transaction so we can make database operation and JMS operation within a single transaction.
Some of our team try out the Toplink support for external transaction and come up with the following initial recommendation.
Since we are not familar with using external transaction, I would like member of this forum and experts, to help comment on whether these recommendation are indeed valid or in line with the best practice. And for folks that have done this in their project, what did you do ?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Data Access Objects must be enhanced to support reading from a TOPLink unit of work when using an external transaction controller. Developers must consider what impact a global transaction will have on the methods in their data access objects (DAOs).
The following findSomeObject method is representative of a finder in the current implementation of our DAOs. It is not especially designed to execute in the context of a global transaction, nor read from a unit of work.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
obj = (SomeObject)clientSession.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
clientSession.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
However, after making the following changes (in blue) the findSomeObject method will now read from a unit of work while executing in the context of a global transaction.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
Session session = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
     session = session.getActiveUnitOfWork();
     readObjectQuery.conformResultsInUnitOfWork(); }
obj = (SomeObject)session.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
if (TransactionController.getInstance().notUseExternalTransactionControl())
     session.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
When getting the TOPLink client session and reading from the unit of work in the context of a global transaction, new objects need to be cached.
public getUnitOfWork(ILoginUser aUser)
throws DataAccessException
     ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
     UnitOfWork uow = null;
     if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
          uow = clientSession.getActiveUnitOfWork();
          uow.setShouldNewObjectsBeCached(true);     }
     else
          uow = clientSession.acquireUnitOfWork();
     return uow;
}

As it generally is with this sort of question there is no exact answer.
The only required update when working with an External Transaction is that getActiveUnitOfWork() is called instead of acquireUnitOfWork() other than that the semantics of the calls and when you use a UnitOfWork is still dependant on the requirements of your application. For instance I noticed that originally the findSomeObject method did not perform a transactional read (no UnitOfWork). Has the requirements for this method changed? If they have not then there is still no need to perform a transactional read, and the method would not need to change.
As for the requirement that new object be cached this is only required if you are not conforming the transactional queries and adds a slight performance boost for find by primary key queries. In order to use this however, objects must be assigned primary keys by the application before they are registered in the UnitOfWork.

Backup when updating 2.2.1

When my new iPhone synched it detected v2.2.1 and is installing it now. Right now a little dialog box is displaying "Backing up Doug's iPhone", so I assume it is backing up the old system and also contents.
To where is this backed up? And could it be restored should I want to?
Thanks,
doug
p.s. There must be a comprehensive owner's manual online somewhere, right? I will look around.

Apple has not yet released said update or any dates for an update; they haven't even mentioned anything. They are all tied up with new and old iPhone and MobileMe customers' problems right now.

Why did I lose apps in backup when updating to iOS5?

I updated phone and computer to iOS5 after syncing to iTunes. Now I cannot get my apps back...why? Where did they go? What use is a backup if you cannot bring back the information?

The backup doesn't contain content, just data. Do the apps not reside in iTunes?
You can still reload them at any rate

Apple needs to stop forcing me to update Flash

I find it presumptuous of Apple to disable Flash and force me to update it. This is my computer, believe it or not. Apple should not be allowed to take away my control.
Now, how do I stop them from doing this? Is there some hack or hidden setting that I can change?
Message was edited by: temhawk (added screenshot for reference)

What I do is use the Click2Flash extension for Safari so that if there is Flash on the page, it is not enabled unless I say so. If Flash is not enabled, it won't bother me about updates. I am only asked to update Flash if I actually let Flash run on a particular page.
On sites like YouTube, the use of Click2Flash means I can go ahead and still watch videos using whatever alternative player they have like an HTML5 player. I don't have to deal with Flash, or Flash update notices, on those sites. On all other sites, using Click2Flash means I won't get bugged about a Flash update just because some random ad uses Flash.

Why does my iPhone 4 automatically cancel backup when updating to iOS 5?

i sync it and back it up before , not sure if it backs up everything or as much as the back up preceding the update does. and when it waits for a while, goes a very small amout, it says cancelling sync, waits a while, and disconnects sync. ???

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
