Elementary Question: Stop Using TM without Problems?

Hi:
I have never used TM, but would like to experiment with it without problem. I have seen may threads where someone can't install on a partition on a drive or the drive, per se, because TM has been used on it. I know about deleting the backups.backupdb file--which probably will allow installation.
But, isn't there something one can do up front to keep this scenario from developing? Why does TM appear to think it has territorial rights over any drive partition is has been used on?
Also, am I right that a partition can be dedicated to the use of TM--i.e., not necessarily a whole drive. And, if TM is used on a partition, then does it lay claim to the whole drive or just the partition?

That's rare, and just OSX's way of insuring that you don't install it on a drive that has your backups on it, because TM won't work that way.
But, isn't there something one can do up front to keep this scenario from developing? Why does TM appear to think it has territorial rights over any drive partition is has been used on?
Don't try to install OSX on a drive that has TM backups on it.
Also, am I right that a partition can be dedicated to the use of TM
Yes. See #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
And, if TM is used on a partition, then does it lay claim to the whole drive or just the partition?
No.
And as etresoft says, when done, erase the partition, don't delete it with the Finder. (That's only recommended if you have an empty Backups.backupdb folder that's preventing the installation of OSX.
+*Never, ever, move, change, or delete any TM backups via the Finder.+* That can hopelessly corrupt them, and may seriously hang your Mac.

I had been using iCould without problems, but recently my tasks have been disappearing from my PC and my tasks and calendar do not sync or update between my iPad and PC. I have un-installed and re-installed iCloud on my PC twice. Suggestions?

Questions about using Bitlocker without TPM

We currently use Bitlocker to encrypt our Windows 7 computers with TPM. Now we are looking at encrypting some Windows 7 computers without a TPM. I see how to change the group policy setting to allow Bitlocker without a TPM. I have looked at a lot of other
threads and I have a few questions about how the Bitlocker without TPM works.
1) I see a USB drive containing a key is required for Bitlocker configurations without a TPM, say the end user loses this USB drive, what are the recovery options for their computer?
This article seems to indicate that without the USB drive connected, you are unable to even access recovery options http://blogs.technet.com/b/hugofe/archive/2010/10/29/bitlocker-without-tpm.aspx
We have recovery backed up to AD when Bitlocker is enabled, but how could we do this recovery on a computer on computer where it's USB is lost? Would we have to remove the HD itself and attach it to another computer to access?
2) After enabling Bitlocker on a computer without a TPM and using the USB Drive for the key, is there a way to also add a PIN or password protection at bootup?

Hi,
Sorry for my dilatory reply,
Configuring a startup key is another method to enable a higher level of security with the TPM. The startup key is a key stored on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive must be inserted every time the computer starts. The startup key is used to provide
another factor of authentication in conjunction with TPM authentication. To use a USB flash drive as a startup key, the USB flash drive must be formatted by using the NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system.
You must have a startup key to use BitLocker on a non-TPM computer.
From: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ee449438(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Key
For more Q&A about BitLocker, you can refer to the link above.
hope this is helpful.

Digi Core Audio 7. Anyone is using it without problems?

I took ProTools 7.0 but I'm hesitant on installing it, particularly for DigiCoreAudio 7, because I'm using 6.9.2 which works fine with my Logic, and I wouldn't find bad surprises. Anyone is using it with Logic 7.2.2?
Thanks
Fulvio

My problem is that after working some time, the DCAM disconnects and i am unable to hear anything. I then have to log out shut my Digi002 down for a few seconds and log in again.
The audio manager version is 7.4
Anybody knows the problem, and a solution?
Matias.
I think you need to ensure the Digi002 is connected properly. IE make sure the cables are connected all the way in, and that there is no other cables resting on top of them.
Also, if you have many FireWire things hooked up to the same computer... get rid of a few of them. This helps the FireWire bandwidth.

Question about using KeyFrames without calling a Keyvalue in the constructo

I'm curious why in examples like this
          Timeline countdown = new Timeline(
               new KeyFrame(javafx.util.Duration.ZERO,
                         (event) -> secondsRemaining.set((int) Duration.between(Instant.now(), finishTime).getSeconds())
               new KeyFrame(javafx.util.Duration.seconds(1))
          );the first is KeyFrame(duration, event) then KeyFrame(duration)
according to the 2.2, and this being pasted from the fx 8 docs is the constructors for KeyFrame
KeyFrame(Duration time, EventHandler<ActionEvent> onFinished, KeyValue... values)
Constructor of KeyFrame
KeyFrame(Duration time, KeyValue... values)
Constructor of KeyFrame
KeyFrame(Duration time, java.lang.String name, EventHandler<ActionEvent> onFinished, java.util.Collection<KeyValue> values)
Constructor of KeyFrame
KeyFrame(Duration time, java.lang.String name, EventHandler<ActionEvent> onFinished, KeyValue... values)
Constructor of KeyFrame
KeyFrame(Duration time, java.lang.String name, KeyValue... values)
Constructor of KeyFrameSo no keyvalues....?
Example 1-5 Timeline Animation
final Rectangle rectBasicTimeline = new Rectangle(100, 50, 100, 50);
rectBasicTimeline.setFill(Color.RED);
final Timeline timeline = new Timeline();
timeline.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE);
timeline.setAutoReverse(true);
final KeyValue kv = new KeyValue(rectBasicTimeline.xProperty(), 300);
final KeyFrame kf = new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(500), kv);
timeline.getKeyFrames().add(kf);
timeline.play();I've been a little confused with hod KeyValues and KeyFrames play a role, but it seems like the value specifies on what we are doing, and what we are changing it to (rectBasicTimeline.xProperty(), 300); and the "Frame" is the duration and which "KeyValue?" So the KeyValue is the important part, or an event.
It seems like the event takes place of the "KeyValue" so we don't need one? I see it says (KeyValue... values) and I never really thought about it, but that means as many values as needed?
It doesn't, however, show that Events take the place of the KeyValues soo.... thoughts anyone?
I've seen this posted by 2 members on here(who will most likely answer my question anyways :p) so I was curious how it all works, and if Event does replace a KeyValue, then I want to know when am I supposed to know in which classes this works on...?

The syntax "..." in the type of the last parameter of a method (or constructor) indicates 0 or more parameters of that type. It's called "varargs", or more formally a "variable arity parameter". See [url http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/arguments.html]Arbitrary numbers of arguments in the Java tutorial, or the [url http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/varargs.html]description of varargs from release 1.5.0 of the Java language (when varargs were introduced).
A timeline animation is composed of a collection of KeyFrames. Each KeyFrame consists of a Duration (the time on the timeline for that "frame"), zero or more KeyValues, and optionally an EventHandler.
The KeyValues consist of a writable property and a "target value" for that property.
When the timeline animation runs, it "smoothly" changes the values of all the properties that appear in KeyValues. The aim is that for each instant defined by a KeyFrame, the value of any property specified by a KeyValue in that KeyFrame will be equal to the corresponding target value. Values at times in between KeyFrames are interpolated between the times specified by the KeyFrames.
Additionally, when the time on the timeline passes the time specified in that key frame, and event will be fired to the event handler, if there is one.
So your constructor call with a Duration and EventHandler matches the constructor with signature
KeyFrame(Duration, EventHandler, KeyValues...)
with zero KeyValues. This key frame doesn't specify any values to be "targeted" at that moment, but will call the EventHandler's handle(...) method when the corresponding moment on the timeline is passed.
The code
final KeyValue kv = new KeyValue(rectBasicTimeline.xProperty(), 300);
final KeyFrame kf = new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(500), kv);creates a key frame at 500 milliseconds with a target value of 300 for rectBasicTimeline's x property. So the timeline will smoothly change rectBasicTimeline.xProperty from it's initial value at time 0 to 300 over a time period of 500 milliseconds (assuming no other KeyFrames in there).

Since upgrade to os5 video files from emails can no longer be viewed, they are downloaded as before, but I am no longer asked which program to open file with. I used Azule without problems before os5' now os5 tries to open video file and stalls. Any fix

Os5 must have changed playback functionality of video files, it tries to play .wmv files, but crashes...it shows "loading", but nothing happens. Before update it would prompt me to choose an app to show the file, Azule worked great, but now it doesn't offer to chose an app.
How do I fix this?

Indeed you were right. I though that in single mode all services were not started, but apparently I was mistaken.
However, as I feared, there seemingly is no useful info in it.

Can i use a5s factory unlock in Albania without problems??

If i buy a iphone 5s factory unlock in USA can i use it without problems in albania??any tip

Yes. it's Factory unlocked iPhone 5S gold.
Problem is...
i have one sim (big for for BB9900). And iPhone 5S uses smaller...
Vodafone India will give me free nano sim, i will take 4-5 hours to work that SIM....
My biggest concern is Address Book (Phone book), Password Keeper (password manager), Task Jot (GTD app)
I need to manually enter all this data in iPhone 5S, there is no standard converter or transfer tool...
existing ones freak out and miss lot of data....
i will first enter all data and get a nano sim. this will take more than 2 weeks...
so i thought if iPhone 5S can be switched on then i can enter data in free time.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. Help please

I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. I can call the same numbers manually so it's not my network. Any help would be appreciated.

This sounds like an international issue? Although I can not see why? I brought my phone in Australia and operating it in Indonesia, I have the same issues.... Otherwise Siri works fine, even texting (SMS) to local numbers siri works well, but dialing local number it just wont work...! I will try using my Australian SIM card and see if that is the reason.. I tried changing the number in the contacts and took out the international prefix, I turned the international assist on and off still nothing.. How frustrating. I called apple, the technican had know idea and we to his supervisor, had to wait fro 40 miuntes and then I hung up..
PLEASE HELP..!

Good Morning. I'm having a problem using both my Photoshop elements and premiere programs. I've installed the programs, redeemed my code and entered the serial numbers, and created the adobe log-in. I am able to open up the organizer without problems, but when I try to open up the photo editor (either by trying to open up the program from the main menu, or right-clicking on a photo in the organizer to edit in elements), the program asks me to sign in to adobe (which I can do and it doesn't give an an "incorrect password" or log-in ID error) then accept the terms and conditions. When I click to accept the terms and conditions, nothing happens and the editor fails to open. Everytime I click on the program, I get this same "loop" of signing in and accepting T&C's, but the program fails to open. Any advice?

Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.
