Does online backup work well for OSX?

My external drive recently died, and my local backup failed (a string of bad bad luck). Good thing I have offsite backup, done with one of those cloud backup companies (backblaze).
Right now I'm requesting for a hard drive mailed to me with my files (4TB). I've never done this before, can I expect the files that come back to be the exact same? I have a hard time believing that because the backup system is not HFS I can only assume?
In particular, I'm concerned about things like my iPhoto library. In OSX I see it as one big file, but I know in reality it is just a "special" folder. Will the files come back as a proper iPhone library?

This sounds like a question for backblaze. Apple provides its own backup utility (Time Machine), which at the moment does not perform backups to the cloud. I suspect a question about Time Machine's reliability and usability could be answered here, but not one about backblaze.

Is anyone using NETGEAR Push2TV with a MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme and does it work well for you?

I am interested in buying a NETGEAR Push2TV display TV streamer to use with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme.
I saw on the Netgear site that a Intel Wireless Display/WIFI driver software is required for PC's; do we have this software installed already on our MacBook Pro's? Is any one using this box and does it work well for you, any problems or setup issues?

Does the iPod Touch work well for web browsing and submitting resumes?

Hi, I am interested to know if the Touch would work well for a specific application. Lets say I'm surfing company career websites and want to browse and submit my resume. Would this work well for that? Usually on a computer, I can upload a Word Doc or PDF resume when the career site asks for it. Is this possible? I was wondering if anyone has tried this and can tell me. For instance, has anyone used the Touch to post a resume to Apple's or IBM's career job sites?
Thanks.

Just to clarify. I'm specifically asking if a web form that allows you to browse your hard drive on a Mac to submit a word doc can also be used on Touch. So if I have a PDF of my resume, can I use a webform to submit it just like on a mac?

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes
Regards,

I need a good reliable office suite. Open Office is not working well for me. Any suggestions?

If you mean Open Office is not always able to correctly open documents received from clients created with MS Office, then the only real solution is to purchase Office 2011 for Mac. As good as some of the free alternatives are, they can't duplicate every feature of MS Office.

I want to perform live, using a few stems as playback, and I want to put fx on my live vocals.

ProTools plugins only work in ProTools. The MBox should work fine with the CoreAudio drivers.

Will After Effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video?

Will after effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video? Or is there an easier Adobe product I should use?

Is there a way to protect music and video after a change is made to the beginning of a finished movie so as not to throw off the already completed music and video timeline?
If you are referring to music in the "floating" green background, then no. It will automatically readjust itself to the start of your project each time new material is added to the beginning of your project. On the other hand, you can add your music to a clip rather than a background and this audio you can "pin" to a clip so that it remains in the same position relative to the clip and any following clips which it may overlap.

Is LION OS working well for all you?

Is LION OS working well for all you? never thought it could be such a problem, it's the fisrt time it happens to me with an Apple product!. problems with safari, aperture, iphoto, opening/closing windows, right now is so close in performance to all windows versions than Apple high quality products at the level that all we have been expected with the release of Lion. Really dissappointed, and just hope that Apple tech suppor team solves this situation with a new sofware update.

For most yes, For me definitely yes. I upgraded over SL, used it for a week or more. Then updated my daughter's i5 MBP. that went well and she is happy. Then I updated my wife's MB Air. now THAT should tell you the confidence I have built in Lion. !!!

If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

Erasing the Time Capsule's internal HDD, via the AirPort Utility, will NOT affect the TC's configuration settings. However, if your intent is to completely remove these settings as well, you will want to perform a "factory default" reset on the TC to do so.
If you first export the configuration, you can always import it back in after the reset to get you back up and running quickly.

Airport Express not working wirelessly for OSX only

Hi all-
I have spent days reading in these forums and online attempting to resolve my issue, but to no avail.
Computers:
Macbook Pro, 2009, running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (just updated today)
Imac, 2008, running Snow Leopard 10.6.2
HP Touchsmart, running windows 7
Gaming:
Playstation 30, 60 Gb Launch unit
Xbox 360 Jasper unit
Wii
Wireless:
Airport Extreme Base Station
I have my two year old airport base station creating a wireless network in my condo that had been working fine with no issues. One day I decided to make the network "invisible". My fiance complained so I decided to turn it back. I figured it was just as easy to reset the airport and set it up again from scratch. What a mistake that was.
After restarting the airport and setting it up again, my Imac and Macbook have a VERY hard time connecting, if they even connect at all (rarely can). Here are issues that sometimes occur:
1) They can't find the network at all
2) They can find it, try to login, but get a timeout error after a minute or so
3) They can find it, login, but don't have an IP address are are not "connected to the internet"
4) They find it, ask for a password, I enter it, it says it's wrong (when it's actually not wrong)
5) Computers can not find the airport base station sometimes, even if directly connected to it.
**sometimes all of these issues happen when trying to connect, sometimes one of them just keeps happening over and over, ie, constantly asking for the password no matter how many times I enter the correct one.
I have tried every trick I saw in the forums- changing the airport firmware, changing the type of wireless security (even not having any), deleting saved networks from my airport prefs, changing the channel I'm broadcasting on, doing a hard reset on my airport (I've set the network up from scratch 20+ times trying to fix it), unplugging the modem and shutting all equipment down for 10 minutes or more, etc.
Sometimes If I play with the airport diagnostic/helper enough, it will eventually just work. I have no idea why. The macbook started working one day, worked for a week, and now is back to not connecting. It's driving us insane.
So now the odd part- My HP running windows 7, my ps3, and y wii ALL work flawlessly running on wireless. So do our iphones. The Xbox is wired through the airport, and works fine as well. Also, I called my internet provider, they say my service is fine. When I hook up the imac or macbook to with an ethernet cable from the airport, they get online fine as well- so the problem is only wireless, and only with the computers that are macs. This is why it seems to me that its an OSX issue.
I've read that some people are having connection issues from Snow Leopard- but I didn't upgrade the imac until recently, and the macbook was upgraded and working fine before these issues began.
Any insight/ideas/thoughts/responses will be greatly appreciated. I'll even throw in a beer if you live in the area

Could a nearby home network interfere with mine? I can see two strong network signals from the neighbourhood...
Yes, it is very possible a neighbor got themselves a brand new 802.11n wireless router and have it "cranked-up" to full power to cover their entire house. This may just be enough to affect your wireless network.
I suggest, if you don't already have it, is to get yourself a copy of Koingo's AirRadar. Use it to identify other Wi-Fis operating nearby. Note especially those that have the strongest signal and what channel they are operating on. Sometimes, something as simple as changing channels for your network will do the trick.

Does OC4J DP4 works well at AIX 5.2 (Java Version=1.4.2) ?

when I first start oc4j dp4, It prompted me to insert password for oc4jadmin.
and when I restart oc4j dp4, oc4j made java core dump and crashed.
Is there any requirement for oc4j to work well on AIX 5.2 ?

Oc4j 10.1.3 dp4 is tested on our base development platform (Linux) and Win32.
It is expected of oc4j to prompt your to insert password at first. The following core dump sounds more like a problem with the AIX JDK itself. There were problems with the AIX JDK 1.4.1 when oc4j 9.0.4 was released. See the link "Patch for IBM AIX5L" at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/utilsoft.html
Can you check if the problem goes away when you patch your AIX JDK to a higher maintenance level?
