Does time capsule make duplicate copies of the files those are already exist in it?

It's not clear just what you mean.
If you're backing-up your Mac, via the Time Machine software, to a Time Capsule or external HD, then yes, by default, Time Machine will copy everything the first time. Subsequent backups will copy only what's new or changed.
If you mean, can you back up other data on a Time Capsule, no, not with Time Machine. It can only back up TO a network location, not FROM one.

Every time i sync ipad2 itunes reinstalls the apps which are already on it

Whenever I plug my ipad2 into my computer, it starts to sync and then tries to reinstall all of the apps which are already installed on the ipad2. This is ridiculus since if I have updated an app on the ipad, it deletes it off the ipad and installs the older version onto the ipad since the update hasnt transferred over to my computer yet! This is getting really frustrating because it then means every sync is taking ages. once Itunes finishes the sync it then reports that it could not install several of the apps onto the ipad because an error occurred - 0xE800002E, but when I check the ipad the apps which is says are not installed are there still.
Any help would be much appreciated because this is driving me crazy!
Thanks

connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

.The files are not backed up alphabetically. We would like to know what are the db files that are already backed up? Is there a command i could run from another RMAN to get the already backed up files.

I think you can query your catalog for this information.
Or use
LIST BACKUP; (in RMAN)
Or
alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss';
select SID, START_TIME,TOTALWORK, sofar, (sofar/totalwork) * 100 done,
sysdate + TIME_REMAINING/3600/24 end_at
from v$session_longops
where totalwork > sofar
AND opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND opname like 'RMAN%';
Or
-- Datafiles Backed up during past 24 Hours
SELECT dbfiles||' from '||numfiles "Datafiles backed up",
cfiles "Control Files backed up", spfiles "SPFiles backed up"
FROM (select count(*) numfiles from sys.v_$datafile),
(select count(*) dbfiles

where file# = 0 and completion_time > sysdate - 1),
(select count(*) spfiles from sys.v_$backup_spfile

Why does Time Machine make two copies when backing up

I use Time Machine to back up to an external harddrive and it is duplicating files, how can I fix this?

Daisy Duke is a third party software app I bought on App Store that helps to find easily find files that you no longer want or need and delete to create more HD space. I don't believe that I reformatted the source volume, is there a way to check for that. I have been doing some research that talks about multiple users, DD did show me the files under two different users and I wonder if it showing me the file but is not really on there twice. As you can probably tell by now I can get around a computer for personal use but do not have much hardware or software experience.

How does time capsule distinguish between computers on the network?

I used the migration assistant to set up my new MBAIR. Gave the old MBPRO to my wife, but want to back up both machines using Time Capsul. Just want to be sure that the TC will differentiate the two machines. I renamed the MBPRO in the Sharing Settings. I assume that should do it but don't want to undo a whole lot of work.

On the first backup of the new Mac, you should be asked whether you want to "inherit" (on Lion) or "Reuse" (on Snow Leopard) the backups of the old Mac, per #B5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If you choose Create New Backup, Time Machine will create a new sparsebundle on your TC for the new Mac.
The two will compete for the empty space on the Time Capsule; if the old one has already used most or all of it, you'll have a problem. If so, you'll have two options:
Delete a number of old backups manually, and "compact" the old sparse bundle, per #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Connect a USB drive to the TC and back the new Mac up to it, instead of the TC's internal HD.

Now Airport Utility says it can't see my devices (Time Capsule and Airport Express,) despite the fact they are working fine.

Any thoughts?

AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3:
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.

File 'Form1.resx' already exists in the project

Dear Everyone,
Could you help me to solve the File 'Form1.resx' already exists in the project. when I put my form under a sub folder?
I tried to copy the 'Form1.resx' from project base folder to the sub folder, the Visual studio 2010 C++ complied but the software hang at:
this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Icon^ >(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon")));
I am using Visual studio C++ 2010.
Here is an explanation from someone with the same issue:
"if you create a new Windows Form in a C++/CLI application and choose to save the .h and .cpp files in a location other than the project folder - for example a sub folder below the sub folder - the form gets created ok, but when you try to change
anything on it you get an error message saying:
"Could not find the file: <path_to_project_folder>\<subfolder>\<form_name>.resx"
If you try to save the changes you get another error message saying:
"File <path_to_project_folder>\<form_name>.resx' already exists in the project."
followed by another error message:
"Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."
Regardless of where you save the .h file, Visual studio creates the .resx file in the project folder and then looks for it in the same folder as the .h file, and can't find it!"

Hi Shu Hu,
I followed you suggestion and the issue was still there. I got the software crashed at:
this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Icon^ >(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon")));
Here are my steps:
1. Create a subdirectory
2. Add new form under new sub-directory
3. Change form icon from "Properties" tab
4. ignore error
5. copy the *.resx from the root of the project to sub-directory
6. close and reopen the project
7. remove *.resx from project Solution
8. Add *.resx under sub-directory to Header Files
9. Add some code to call the form.
10. Build & run
I saw this issue reported at least since VS C++ 2005 and it seemed there is no fix.
I tried these steps to reproduce this issue. But my project works well on my side. According to your application hang at : "this->Icon = (cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Icon^ >(resources->GetObject(L"$this.Icon")));"
I guess you may forget one step, could you try open the .resx file and click add resource -> add existing file. I guess your icon file didn't embed in resx file.
How to report this issue to Microsoft development team so they can fix it?
I cannot reproduce this issue. If you have a sample to reproduce this issue, you could submit this issue to
microsoft connect. I am also glad to test your sample on my side, and you could share it on a public Onedrive folder with me.

HT3728 Why does time capsule every day or so stop backing up? Wifi still seems to work. Time capsule is only a few weeks old and is connected via Ethernet to the router and iMac.

Why does time capsule go missing from the network. The green light is lit at all times. I am unable to use the software the only thing I can do is power cycle time capsule, by unplugging and plugging the mains back in.
My time capsule is only a few weeks old, any ideas?
I am new to apple products very impressed with iPhone 5, I pad, iMac. Really not sure about time capsule!
Thanks

An external drive is much more reliable.. the issue has to do with network connection and loss of something.. although I am sorry I cannot tell you exactly what. The computer is still connected, still works on internet but has actually lost the hard disk.. lost and cannot find it without a restart.
If you want to try a few changes it can help.
1. If you are connected by ethernet make sure wireless is off in the imac.. having only one network connection is better than two.
2. Redo the TC setup with all short names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Apple has these long names with spaces and characters like apostrophe by default but they are not a help.
3. If the TC is the main router then reduce the dhcp lease time.. make it 20min.. that keeps everything refreshed and up to date.
None of those fix it but they may help stretch out the interval.

How does Time Capsule handle the same files on multiple computers?

I'm a writer who works on my MacBook Pro, the family's desktop PC and soon hope to have my own Apple desktop.
Is it possible to have the most current document(s) available no matter which machine I'm on?
Does Time Capsule go to each computer, find the most recent version and back it up?
Does it even work with PCs?

Sorry, but no.

Time Machine will backup any changes to each Mac hourly

Only if you manually drag/drop or copy/paste PC files to the Time Capsule drive

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?

Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

HT4145 Does this article apply to OS X Lion and Airport Utility 6.0? Reason: Airport Utility cannot find my Airport Extreme (4th generation) wirelessly on my Time Capsule configured network even although the firmware in both units is up to date.

Does this article apply to OS X Lion and Airport Utility 6.0?
Reason: Airport Utility cannot find my Airport Extreme (4th generation) wirelessly on my Time Capsule configured network even although the firmware in both units is up to date.

I thought you were trying to Extend the network with an Express as the article mentions you pointed to...
You can't find the Airport Extreme then...
I woudl suggest doing a Factory reset....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
Then you should be able to set it up just as you did when it was new....
Factory default reset (using reset button)
If the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule isn't accessible from AirPort Utility, the Factory Default reset can be accomplished by using the reset button.
Unplug the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button. This will factory default reset the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.

Why won't time capsule and Airport connect to the NBN satellite modem, when a Linksys router does flawlessly?

I've tried using both Airport Express and Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the NBN "SkyEdgeII modem. In both cases the connection is unreliable, in particular many https pages do not open because safari cannot connect to the server. The crazy thing is that I can connect wirelessly using two different, current model Linksys routers, no problem at all. I have spent many hours with the ISP tech support at Skymesh, making sure that the settings are right, but we continue to have a very flaky performance from both the Airport devices.

Use System Preferences: Network: Show Network Port Configurations, there should be a setting where you can enable and disable individual Network Ports. Make sure that all the ports are disabled, except for Airport, the MacBook might be trying to connect to Ethernet via another port and not using Airport, even though it appears to be connected to linksys.
OS X 10.5 Leopard is organized a little different from OS X 10.4 Tiger, but you should be able to find the place in that System Preferences screen where you can display and change the Network Port Configurations.
You might possibly need to check the wireless router configuration to see how many IP addresses it can assign or if there are some other connection restrictions enabled on the router, for more info see the User Guide

Does time capsule back-up files which I am currently working on in a program?

Hey everybody,
If I am working on a file in a program, does time capsule back this file up? So if the program(third party) crashes after half an hour for example, can I still get the file back or would it be incomplete because it was open during back-up?
Thanks in advance.
Jelle

Most apps don't work with the actual file on disk; they copy it into memory and make the changes there.
Like most backup apps, Time Machine doesn't (can't) back up anything in memory, only things on disk.
When you Save a file you're working on, or done with, it goes to disk and will be included on the next backup.
Similarly, if the app has an "autosave" facitity, that will copy the "working" version to disk. Many apps do that to a separate file (often named the same as the original, but with something like "autosaved" appended). Lion apps that support Lion's AutoSave facility save it to the original file.

I do not own neither a Mac nor an iOS devices. May I still be able to use all features of Time Capsule, including remote access over the internet?

As described above.

You will have setup issues.. as the latest AC model requires a Mac or iOS device.. eventually apple will release a windows version of the utility.. and the current one does partly work but Apple seem in no hurry.
You can find a Mac or iPad equipped friend to do the setup.. once setup the Windows computer can use it.
BUTT you cannot access it from remote..
Not with windows. You need BTMM and iCloud account. AFAIK even with those you cannot reach the TC.
You can do it manually.. using a vpn. Buy a proper vpn router and use a vpn client on the windows computer.. the TC would be in bridge to the network..
Apple really did not make this for windows.. and SMB access is only provided on LAN access not WAN.

Does time capsule backup two separate users with their individual passwords or how do you set that up?

I Have two separate users on my computer and want the backups to reflect that. I don't want one user to have access to my stuff and vice versa. Does time capsule do this automatically or do you set this up somehow?

TM does the whole computer.. it is designed for home setup.. where people not that worried about security.
It is always possible for any user to access any other users account.. given enough time and skill. TM backups make it easier in a way.. I have tested it myself and I can recover TM backups from unknown user in a Time Capsule with an unknown password. It was tricky but anyone with brains can read the net.
There are solutions.. as I said.. if you are worried you should be using Encryption. Never depend on passwords in a shared computer to prevent access.
If your files are encrypted then even if a person recovers them they cannot read them without the key.
It may need for your files to be on a separate partition.
See Pondini's info on file vault and interaction with Time Machine.
http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
Of course for a person to hack in.. they have to want to do it.. in most people's home situation that is not a hassle.
For a business setup you would be using superior security.. proper active directory server etc.

Does time capsule make duplicate copies of the files those are already exist in it?
