Has anyone sucessfully used the new Winclone 3.2 to backup and restore Bootcamp partittion with Windows 7 Ultimate on MBP with Lion 10.7.3?

Bought late 2011 MBP 17" with Bootcamp partition (Windows 7 Ultimate) and Lion OS 10.7.3
I am trying to make a backup of Bootcamp partition before I start using my laptop but it proves to be a difficult task.
I don’t have any installation disk for Windows 7 and I am afraid that, if a disaster strikes and I loose the HDD, my copy of Windows will be gone.
The only way to restore Windows partition according to what I read so far is to do the following:
• Use Windows to backup data from BootCamp Partition
• Reinstall OS Lion formatting full hard drive in the process
• Use BootCamp Assistant to create BootCamp partition
• Install Windows 7 on bootcamp partion
• Use Windows 7 to restore data from backup file created in the first step
The only problem is that I don't any image or disk to re-install Windows 7. With Windows 7 I can create only 'repair disk' (for what it is worth) or system image but according to other users it would format the whole drive including OS Lion partition when reinstalling
Winclone 3.2 seems like the answer to my prayers but would like to hear from the users if it worked for them (most imprtantly, did the restore work?).

Got the response from Winclone regarding my confusion in step 18 of the procedure to create bootcamp backup. The message displayed on the screenshot under step 18 can be ignored. It refers to creating a Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant but in fact this partition has already been created in earlier steps using Disk Utility.
I bought Winclone 3.3 as it promises to make backup and restore of Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 on it really easy, the steps to do this task are easy and well documented, and the owner of the program was very prompt responding to my queries.
I performed the following as an insurance against disaster prior to creating Winclone image:
Since my Windows 7 came pre-installed but without any installation disk I used Windows 7 to create 'Windows 7 system image' . From what I read on forums the system image created using Windows 7 apparently can't be used to easily restore Boot Camp partition (as it wipes out OS X in the process). I created this image as a last resort backup rescue - some users reported that it can be used to recover Windows but the process is painful and involve a number of steps, swapping hard drives, and paid software to assist in the process. I did not bother to make notes on this process - thanks to Winclone I am not suppose to need this backup if everything works as promised
I also created 'Windows 7 repair disk' prior to running Winclone. Not sure what the value of it will be but again, this is something I did just in case I need it in the future
Then I installed Winclone 3.3 and created Windows 7 Ultimate Boot Camp image without any problems (on MBP running Lion 10.7.4). My Winclone image file of 150GB Windows 7 Boot Camp partition prior to installing any programs and without any data on it ended up being nearly 8GB (saved to the external USB HDD).
I have not restored and don't plan to restore the Winclone 3.3 image just to test if it works (don't want to risk loosing my perfectly well running Windows 7 in case of any disaster). So ultimately only time or experience of other users will tell me if I spent my money well buying Winclone 3.3. I know it worked for you JBLTZ so hopefully it will work for me when I need it one day.
Cheers

Has anyone began using the new iStick? I cannot figure out how to save files from my iPad to the new iStick?

I have recently bought the new iStick and absolutely love it! The only question that I have is figuring out how to open a file on my iPad and saving it to the iStIck. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Here's the app and an article. Sorry I never used one.

HT1338 hi has anyone been using the new OS Mountain Lion recently released?

I have had nothing but frustration with the new Mountain Lion release
First all my printer drivers have failed and I have had to re-load software drivers to get it to work.
Next the Safari version needed to operate this engine is not supported by my medical software company. I am forced to go back on Safari 5 instead of 6.
I am patient but am losing my mind.

Start by removing your worthless "anti-virus" software according to the developer's instructions. That's as likely as not to be causing the problem. Reboot and test. Back up all data before making any changes.

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

Has anyone else used the Consumer Guarantees Act for a repair? (New Zealand)

My iPod nano stopped working one day and keeps constantly restarting and telling me I have to restore with iTunes. I did restore multiple times but the issue was never solved. I tried doing a hard reset and also putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring again, but that didn't work either. I went to an Apple reseller (no Apple stores in New Zealand sadly) and they said that it looks like a hardware problem, and repairing will cost around $100 (NZD) along with a $39 assessment charge, since my warranty expired in January. I decided that's not worth it since buying a new iPod costs only slightly more.
But I was just wondering, would this be covered under the Consumer Guarantees Act?
Thanks in advance!

In EPM 11.1.2.1 Has anyone sucessfully configured the SSODiag web app

Hi All, we are installing and configuring Oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 with Foundation services running on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server. Our users have been waiting for us to provide single sign-on for the Web applications (we are currently on 9.3.3). We installed and configured Foundation services and started the config for SSO using Kerberos and Active Directory.
We have performed the following :
1) setup the active directory user to use as the Kerberos principle
2) usign SETSPN, KTPASS configured the principle user and had the keytab file generated using:
ktpass -out SVC_ORACLEEPM.keytab -mapuser SVC_ORACLEEPM -crypto DES-CBC-CRC -princ HTTP/[email protected] -pass PASSWORD -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL
3) copied the keytab file copied to the Foundation Services server (DEVEMP01) and placed in "C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem"
4) Verified the keytab using the java kinit commands
java -Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit -k -t C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\SVC_ORACLEEPM.keytab HTTP/[email protected]
was able to get the kerberos ticket cached successfully:
--- KrbAsRep cons in KrbAsReq.getReply HTTP/devepm01.domain.com
--- New ticket is stored in cache file C:\Users\svc_oracleepm\krb5cc_SVC_ORACLEEPM
5) configured the Active Directory provider in Weblogic (can retreive all users including my service account)
6) configured the Negotiate Identity provider
7) installed and configured the SSODiag web application per the 11.1.2.0 document "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/config-epm-foundation-kerberos-303841.pdf " as the 11.1.2.1 document is incomplete. I also found some missing steps in the 11.1.2.0 doc, but was able to get it.
8) service account is used to log onto the Windows server and is used to starte the FoundationServices service and weblogic admin console.
in the above - the "DOMAIN.COM" is the Kerberos domain
The problems now are the SSODiag app is not authenticating the user. All our active directory users authenticate to MS Sharepoint through Kerberos, so the browsers and users are setup properly, I did double check the browser settings just in case.
I also have an open support ticket with Oracle support, but wanted to find out if anyone out there has sucessfully configured SSODiag and has it working with Kerberos, Active Directory and Weblogic 10.3.x included with EPM 11.1.2.1.
Any assistance is appreciated.

For anyone interested, we were finally able to configure SSO. Working with Oracle support and a web conf with the developers was needed.
The documentation is lacking all the instructions to make a sucessful connection and has incorrect information as well. The SSODiag app was working for all XP and IE6/IE7 machines, my Windows 7 and IE8 machine would not work and is still an outstanding issue with development.

Has anyone actually used the Apple USB "rescue" drive on a 2011 MBA or Mac Mini?

I am getting conflicting information as to whether the $69.00 Lion USB "Rescue drive" will function on a mid 2011 MacBook Air or a Mid 2011 Mac Mini. (Yes, I know it will work on the 2011 MacBook Pros).
1) The local Apple Store Genius Bar personell say that it will not work. It has 10.7.0 Build 11A511, and the 2011 MBA's and Mac Mini's require at least 10.7.0 Build 11A2063 and 11A20621, respectively.
2) Several people have answered this question in the Q&A section of the online Apple Store that it will work on a mid 2011 MBA.
3) I contacted Apple, via the Chat system within the online Apple Store, and they are kinda sure that it will work. But in any case, if I were to get it to work it would ace my recovery partition, and forever NEVER let me use a recovery partition on that Mac again.
So, I am left with the most reasonable avenue to obtain a correct answer. I ask if anyone has sucessfully used this drive on a mid 2011 MBA or mid 2011 Mac Mini.

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Has anyone successfully used the Zoom R16 with Audition?

I’ve tried just about everything, but can’t seem to get Audition to run with the Zoom R16. As noted in a recent post, I updated both the Zoom R16 firmware and widows driver, but that doesn’t seem to make the 2 work harmoniously.
Has anyone had success getting the 2 to work together? If so, what’s the trick?!
Thanks in advance

I'm intrigued - what is actually disharmonious?

Has anyone else used the WireTunes Axxess IPOD Car Kit?

I have recently installed this hookup in my vehicle. it's pretty cool and works well. it displays the song title and info on my xm ready stereo. The only problem i have is when i skip to the next song it skips one too many and skips over the next to the next song. Does anyone have this product and have you had similar problems?

that is true Angela...toyota uses the same unit for all the cars...the only issue they seem to have is when trying to integrate with the toyota's that have the factory NAV system, or the built in 5 disk changer in the dash.. I think the most flexible unit that I have found is this one....
http://www.sounddomain.com/item/USSPA11TOY
It allows you to use 2 different modes, one being direct control from the iPod, none of the others that I have found allow you complete control from the head unit, they all seem to want you to make up multiple playlists and treat those lists as a CD's in a trunk mounted cd changer...which to me seems a bit clunky.

Has anyone every used the CleanMyMac 2 feature and if so, would you recommend it?

I was looking into signing up to beta test the new iOS Yosemite and I was reading that you need to clean up your Mac and back it up first before installing it and it was recommending you download something called CleanMyMac2.
Not sure if it would be a good idea or not. Any thoughts?

This may explain what you saw - an advertisement:
It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple in any way.
Clicking it reveals the following:
... after which it advocates creating a backup.
All of this is horrible advice. Ignore it.

Anyone is using the new Seagate Hybrid hard drives?

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/laptop-hdd/
I need to upgrade my 320GB 5400 RPM drive and I was going to go with a smaller storage 128 SSD. But these Hybrid drives look good and you can get 500 GB for about $120.
Any feedback? Do they work ok on a MacBook Pro?

Ok I just got a 3TB Drive from Fry's Electronics its the new seagate Go Flex. I took it out of its enclosure.. and put it inside the drobo.. Drobo Tells me Drive Failed. " only for the new 3tb drive." THAT ***!!!! I just paid $200 and it tells me drive failed... So i take it out and attach it to the original usb and it works fine direct to the computer.. My drobo is attached with firewire800 and 4 bays are with 1.5tb each. and the 5th one was going to be the new 3TB drive. HUmm.... Any ideas on how I can make this drive work with my drobo ??

I have 1 old coputer and 1 new 2 different versions of itunes. can they work together. ie can I use the new one to update our iphones and such and if so will our older itunes version8.2 get changed or lost?

We have two computers. One is older and one is newer. The older has itunes on it (version 8.2) and can no onger update. We want to install itunes on our newer computer to allow us to update our iphones. Can we install 10.2 on the newer computer and use it for updates and such without affecting the older computer? Will my wife be able to still play her music from her older computer and if we buy new music will it upload to both computers.
Example if she buys ten more songs on her computer(older one) will it automatically upload them to the newer computer when we turn it on? And if I buy a song on the newer computer would it show up on her older version of itunes or not?

Have a look here...

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)
