First Time Backup Using Ver. 7

After inserting my 3rd blank DVD during backup, the msg "tfswctrl.exe - wrong volume" (Please insert vol. Backup 2006-08-17 into drive E) appeared. The itunes screen indicates that music/data is still being written to the DVD. Am I safe to assume that itunes is in fact backing up? I responded to the msg with "continue".

Your post is confusing me a bit. You say you were backing up, but a backup is making a second copy of files in case you lose the first copy. Why did you then move the media folder to the trash? Drag it back to your iTunes folder.
Which tutorial did you follow? A link would help.
To properly back up iTunes the first time you would quite iTunes, copy (drag) the whole iTunes folder in your Home > Music to the external drive, disconnect the drive, then start iTunes as normal for continued use.
Perhaps you were trying to move your library to the external drive but if that's the case you need to say you want to move it, not back up.

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

I transferred PPT files from a windows based pc (microsoft PPT 2003), at first my macbook was able to run all animations in file, after some time it stopped running it, partly because i "switched on" something since this is my first time to use a mac ?

i transferred PPT files from a windows based laptop to my macbook, at first it was able to run the animations in the file no problem, its my first time to use a mac also bythe way, so i started downloading freebies like the VLC, FLIP4MAC, and other plug-in players, would it be because of this downloads that my mac now cannot seem to run the powerpoint animations any more ?

I don't think vlc would affect powerpoint. What were those "other plug-in players" you downloaded?
I'm not that familiar with powerpoint so how are those animations played? Are they windows media player files? If so then flip4mac might affect them.

How to restart the mac like the first time you use it?

how to restart the mac like the first time you use it?

Surefire way is by completely reinstalling the OS after erasing the Macintosh HD boot volume.
I think there's a way to coerce the Setup Assistant to run once again like on First Start, but requires erasing a couple of files in the drive. Don't know which ones right now.

There is no need to charge it before you first use it. You cannot run the battery too low as the system will shut the device off before that happens to protect the battery.
Generally speaking, your Lithium battery will have the longest useable life if you avoid deep cycles. Since you can plug and unplug it as you wish, the best thing to do is just charge it up (however much) whenever it is convenient to do so (whether it is 10% discharged, or 20% or 50% - basically don't pay any attention to the battery level, just plug it in when it is convenient to do so to keep the battery topped up). And try to avoid frequent deep cycles where you run it all the way or very near to the point it auto-shuts off.

HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I buy iTunes card and when to try redeem its say invalid code and it's my first time to use prepaid iTunes card

Make sure you're using the correct code. For most iTunes cards, the code is under the scratchoff area on the back of the card. For more information, see this support article:

If you can't get to work after perusing that page, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
Good luck.

I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct. I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX. Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start. Any ideas, folks?

First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
What version of FCP X are you using?
All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

What is the best way of creating a one-time backup using DPM 2012R2?

Hello,
Due to some severe tape issues, we have lost a lot of our long-term storage data.
I schedule a recovery point on our servers every Friday, once a week. We retain this data for the 64 weeks (the maximum amount of versions DPM allows.)
Management needs me to put one recovery point from each month to tape (preferably from the beginning of each month.)
From the DPM console, I have been manually searching each server and running a recovery job from each "short term" recovery point we still have in the system.   I am recovering this data to a large disk array that I'm using as a staging
area. My intention is to take this data and put it onto tape using DPM and leave it there forever (20 years.)
Since the space on the array is limited, I can only recover a few months at a time before having to delete the recoevered data to make way for the next group.
The way DPM works it seems you must have a protection group for every backup job you run; so if I have to repeat this process 8 times, I'll end up with 8 different protection groups all assigned to the host running the staging array. NOTE:
the host running the staging array will be wiped in the near future.
What would be the best method to carry this task out ?
This forum post is similar, but doesn't address all these additional groups created:

Any assistance would be welcome!

Hi,
What you can do is protect the staging server by using a single share - lets call it STAGING for simplicity.
Perform your first set a restores and restore to the staging share, you can create meaningful subdirectories one for each data source you are restoring.
Now protect the STAGING share using DPM - protect using long term to tape only, Frequency yearly, and set retention policy for 20 years.
Perform an ad-hoc backup (right-click the data source and create recovery point to tape)
When that completes, delete the sub-directories under the staging share and then repeat the process of restoring more data then backing up the same share.  When you are all done, you can remove the protection group, but maintain the tape backups
so they will be available for restores.
