Does the TM create a sparse bundle on a Raid 5 device with a local thunderbolt connection

I know that TM creates a sparse bundle when used over a network connection. I would like to know if also creates a sparse bundle on a raid device ( Lacie 5 big thunderbolt 2) which is connected locally, and formatted in HFS+. The reason I'm asking is that the sparse bundle will not be rebuilt after a disk failure in a stripped raid setup. In my case a raid 5 device.

To the contrary, my experience is that the "G" standard on WiFi provided MUCH faster speeds than the "N" standard on Wi-Fi. It makes no sense, I know, but it is true.
I was having horribly slow Wi-Fi speeds on my iPad2, despite a fast cable modem connection and a "N" generation Linksys wireless router (maybe 2-3 yrs old). Was achieving speeds of only 1.3Mbs -- slow enough that you couldn't watch YouTube videos. From hunting around on the web, I came across the suggestion to manually set the Wi-Fi router to the "G" standard (ie downgrade it from the faster "N" standard). Remarkably, I did it and it worked like a charm. I now get Wi-Fi speeds of about 12 or 13 Mbs, or 10x what I was getting before. It is an easy fix. And also I think the "G" standard is capable of 50Mbs so even though it is a slower and older standard, it is still way faster than anything you are likely to achieve as a home user. I think there is some glitch or oddity in the iPad and iPad2 which can cause it to perform very poorly with older "N" standard WiFi routers. New ones don't seem to have a problem.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

Does the RE1000 create a second wifi network w seperate SSID?

I just bought the Netgear and I don't like it because it creates a second wifi network with a second SSID. I just want to be on the same network and not have to associate all my devices with a second network.
Does the RE1000 create a second SSID network?

By default each wireless device has their own network name. You need to make sure that the RE1000 will have the same wireless settings as your Netgear router that way you will be able to extend the range of your network.

Time Machine Creates New Sparse Bundle

I have a 1TB hard disk connected to a Mac Mini over USB. That disk is shared on the network. My laptop and my wife's laptop are both set up to use that shared disk for Time Machine backups. Generally, things have worked fine.
This morning, I discovered a message from Time Machine on my laptop stating that there wasn't enough space on the drive to complete the backup. That didn't make sense - too few files had changed. When I investigated, I discovered that Time Machine had, after a successful backup at 21:29 last night, started creating a new sparse bundle for its backups.
I restarted my laptop and ran Disk Utility's Repair function on the shared drive (using the Mac Mini to run the repair). I've toggled Time Machine off and back on in System Preferences. The behavior remains: even though there is an existing sparse bundle (machinename.sparsebundle) on that share, when I tell Time Machine to do a backup, it creates a new sparse image: machinename-1.sparsebundle and starts backup up all of my files to it.
Also, if I "Enter Time Machine," Time Machine informs me that it can't find the disk. But it does offer for me to "Use Previous Disk..." if I first mount the "old" disk image (machinename.sparsebundle). Having the old disk image mounted does not prevent Time Machine from making machinename-1.sparsebundle when I tell it to do a backup, however.
I'm at a loss. I've checked the console logs and there's nothing useful there. Is there some hidden setting something that "forces" Time Machine to write to a specific sparse bundle?
I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that these "over the air backups" aren't worth the bother: a directly-attached disk seems much simpler and more reliable.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints,
Tony

When you do a +*Repair Disk+* on a directly-connected volume that contains a sparse bundle, the sparse bundle itself may not be repaired. Drag it into the Disk Utility sidebar via the Finder, then select it and try +*Repair Disk+* again.
Okay. I did this - but it told me that the disk appeared to be okay. Which jives with my intuition, since Time Machine is able to use that image +for recovering files+ if I manually mount it and inform Time Machine that it should use it.

Does the widget source a different set of logs than the Console app? When I select "All Messages" in Console, I get the following when I attempt to do a backup:

I read this as "Time Machine didn't even bother trying to use my 'transient.sparsebundle' that exists on that disk."
A couple of notes:
* My wife has no difficulty backing up to her image on that same AFP share.
* Between my initial post and this one, I updated to 10.6.5 - with no change in behavior.

What files does the slideshow create in Windows

I have just received a 60GB video ipod and am doing some homework before I go and start to load content. I am running Windows XP and have gone out and bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 to manage my pictures. Is this the only Win PC software that can work for creating slideshows? What extra files will this create, does it roll up the photos into a new large file with audio, is it just a pointer file for the ipod to understand where the pics are, what do I need to copy to my ipod apart from the actual pictures and what file do I run for the slideshow? If I have thousands of pictures, I presume I can just create separate slideshow files in the respective folders and then create a playlist of the slideshows? I thought I saw either wmv or pdf as the PC file formats that are created for the slideshows which I was a bit surprised at. Also, does the music I create for the slideshow remain separate or and just pointed to - can I use an mp3 file or do I ned aac (or is this just for video), or does it all get rolled up? Thanks for the newbie slideshow help. I've checked the forum but can't seem to find this info so hopefully I am not just repeating the questions.
Cheers

I have Adobe Elements 4 I know you can save your Photo Slideshow in wmv format. I love the new "panning" effect in Elements 4, I think that's what you refer to as the "Slideshow Video". However, I think you need to check out Microsoft PhotoStory 3 (a free download from Microsoft website). I'm no Microsoft fan, but honestly, you can create a video photo slideshow/PhotoStory in less than 5 minutes. Unlike Photoshop Elements, PhotoStory 3 is much easier because it uses the "wizard" approach. Check it out. In no time, you can create the video slideshow, save it in .wmv format. Then I use a tool to convert the .wmv file to .mp4 file.
People who asked why you would want to make a slideshow video obviously miss out the latest fun in sharing photos as moving pictures!!! It's so much fun than just watching static pictures with music. It impressed my friends so much!

Does the AirPort create a wireless? Or it just join one?

I just wanna know what the airport does. Does it create a wireless, or join one, I mean, if I'm travelling, I bring my AirPort to the hotel and plug in, is it going to create a wireless?

If you are traveling with the AirPort Express, the hotel or place that you are staying will need to have an Ethernet port so that you can connect the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
Then the AirPort Express can be configured to "create" a wireless network and you will have your own private wireless network with Internet access in the room.
If the hotel does not provide an Ethernet port, then having an AirPort Express along will be of no real value.

You want to go from FCE to FCP-X?
You would need to do so in multiple steps.
1) You would need to be working in a very late version of FCE.
2) Open the FCE project in FCP-7.
3) In FCP-7, export an XML of the sequence you wish to get to FCP-X.
4) Purchase the software 7toX
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/
5) Import the XML into 7toX, export the FCP-X friendly file
6) Import the converted XML into FCP-X
7) Re-link all you media
It should be noted that when you use XML, not all the things you have done in your original sequence will make it through the final translation. There is more information about this at the 7toX page linked above.

Does Lion damage original filevault sparse bundle passwords?

I upgraded my MBP to Lion 4 months ago. I have the home directory of one of the acounts protected with the original filevault from earlier versions of OS X. It worked fine in lion, until... I 'tried' to give the account a new password. Lion complained that I can't change the password on an account with filevault and told me to turn it off before changing the password. I shrugged it off and figured I'd do it when I had time. (It takes a LONG time.) I used the MBP for the rest of the day allowing it to sleep and requiring me to type in the account password to continue working. No problems. I then turned the power completely off on the MBP to travel. When I turned it on the next day, I couldn't fully log into my acount. It would recognize my original password and start to mount the home directory, but it said that I needed to type in the original password for that filevault protected area! I do, but it will not work! What did Lion change? I have another admin account on the MBP and tried to mount the home directory sparse bundle from that account and the original password will not work from that user account either.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm wondering how I'll get Lion open that thing.

This is really severe!
I have removed the file and pointed symlink to null device - this prevents writing anything to the file (at the cost of losing other security related information from this log file).
In case anybody wanted to do the same here's what you need to paste to the Terminal.app:
f=/var/log/secure.log && sudo rm $f && sudo ln -s /dev/null $f
and type your password.
(not sure, but sudo only works if you have password set and you're on an admin account)

Does the Ps4 last of us bundle apply for movers coupon???

Just purchased the ps4 last of us bundle and tried to use the movers coupon. I was promptly turned down by the manager at the Walker MI location. There is nothing that suggests the ps4 is excluded from this coupon when following the link on the back of the coupon. Called the 1-888... Number and they said the ps4 is not categorized under "Sony Blue Ray" which was the only category listed in the exclusions for the movers coupon that may hinder a ps4 or bundle from being discounted. Cust. Support contacted the store manager where I purchased the bundle and told me to bring my receipt and "try again?". After a few calls to stores and customer support, I am being told that nobody really knows.

Hello ecain711,
While there are a few different versions of our mover’s coupon and each comes with its own set of terms and conditions, 10% off a single item is a great deal! From my understanding, you should have been able to use the coupon towards your PS4 bundle purchase (unless purchased online), so I apologize for any inconvenience our denial may have caused.
Normally in this situation, I would contact our Walker location to ensure that we aren’t incorrectly denying the use of the coupon for anyone else and see what options we may have available to us to help you. While I will still speak with local management, I see that you’ve already made your PS4 purchase and as we cannot apply the coupon to an existing purchase, I’ve sent you a private message to discuss your case further. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Thank you for posting,

HT1338 Why does the iPhoto that came installed on my iMac not update with Software Update?

I have iPhoto v9.1.5 that came pre-installed on my iMac. However, although there have been newer versions available on the App Store (currently up to v9.2.3) there have never been any updates available in "Software Update".
Weirder still, when I go to the App Store, iPhoto is one of the apps showing as available to update. But when I click to update, the App Store sometimes tells me I "must log-in with the account used to purchase the application", and sometimes that "only apps purchased from the App Store can be updated". I've tried both the accounts I have with the App Store, but same result each time.
I had a very disappointing experience with Apple Customer Support, speaking to several people in different departments - none of whom could explain why I couldn't update iPhoto, nor offering any kind of fix. Not what you expect from Apple!
Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this? v9.1.5 ***** on so many levels - but then maybe v9.2.3 is just as bad and I should just trash it and use something else anyway..... Any advice will be considered!

I've since found other posts on this issue (like https://discussions.apple.com/message/16434345#16434345), so at least I'm not the only one. Seems that Apple are being incredibly slow to resolve this. The only solution I've read is to get my hands on an iLife installation disc - and amazingly, none of the techs on the phone (I've spoken to several) have come up with this solution!
But is there any other way?

What does the message "Another program has control of HP imaging device mean"? I get this when I am trying to scan.

What does the message "another program ha control of HP imaging mean when I am trying to scan something. How do i correct it?

You may need to ask HP. I had the same issue with a networked (via ethernet) home HP multi-function. Sometimes the only way to get it to scan was to completely disconnect it from the network and connect it to only one Mac with a USB cable. Even that did not alwatys work.
Eventually, Apple started pushing out HP printer updates via Software Update. One of those finally made that error message to go away.
So run Software Update and see it there are new drivers that Apple made avaialble.

How do you create a part that has two through holes with a single net connecting to both.

I attempted to create a part that contained 2 through holes with a copper strip between them so they would connect to a single net, but one of the holes (pin 2) gets rejected by Ultiboard as an unconnected entitiy. Is there a way to define the second hole (pin 2) in such a way as to mitigate the problem?
Thanks, Tod
Solved!

Hi
It is quite simple to do so:
when making the footprint, you just put your two TH pins where you need them. name them 1 and 2.
Then in Multisim, when making a new component with the component wizzard,in step 2 make a 1-pin component, and select your desired footprint(which has two pins).
thenin step 3, make/choose your 1-pin symbol.
In step 5 you can map the footprint to the symbol , just use both footprint pins for the same symbol pin.
When using it in your schematic, you'll see one pin, in the layout, there will be two pins connected together..
Good luck
stressed user..
