  • Help needed with Time Machine multiple drives set up

    Hello, I need help in finding out if what I want to do is possible.
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion today as I understood it can handle multiple back up drives. I see how to add a 2nd back up drive, however I do not see a way to put different folders onto different drives.
    iMac - backed to a 3TB DRIVE A via the time machine
    iPhoto Library original file - already on the 3TB DRIVE A - so no back up for now!
    What I'd like to do is to also back up only the iPhotoLibrary file to a 2nd drive - lets call it 3TB DRIVE B
    Can it be done with Mountain Lion or not really? I don't even seem to be able to exclude files from an External Disk actually.
    Any other software I could use that would do the trick?
    Or do I have to rearrange our already messy set up? I've put the iPhoto Library on the DRIVE A as its a faster drive. but I guess the solution would be to put the iPhoto Library original file onto the slower Drive B and only keep the iPhoto file on it?
    Hmm any help or tips greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    So here's my question: After reinstalling system TM started normal back-up procedure and I get message not enough space on external disk.

Is there a procedure to back-up only changed files since the last version?
    Ordinarily, that's exactly what TM does. But this situation isn't ordinary. Everything you restored is considered "*new to that disk"* and will be backed-up again. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum, and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
    The 30% you ask about is actually 20%; the initial estimate of the space needed might be low, and TM needs workspace on the TM disk, so it adds 20% (see #7 in the FAQ Tip.)

    This is a bug on Lion and 7.6 firmware and greater on the TC..
    There is no fix.. Ring applecare and ask why it does that.
    I suspect Apple will have no idea. Although we have plenty of posts here with the same issue.
    I can suggest a bunch of stuff.. nothing from what I gather is a cure.. but it might help.. perhaps this will be auto fixed in ML.
    I stick with SL as it has decent networking btw.. and no issues.. !! If you are still on SL you should not have issues if you go back to 7.5.2 firmware on the TC.
    First off, tell us a bit more.
    Is the TC part of the network, bridged or router or setup independently of the network. Not sure what the virgin hub is.. but please describe the network a bit more.
    Try going back to 7.5.2 firmware.  Apparently can be very difficult for the most recent versions of TC but if you run lion you should also try it.. download the 5.6 airport utility if not already using that, and try to go back to earlier firmware.
    Other things..
    Reset the TC and use short no spaces names for TC and wireless. Pure alphanumeric.. no special characters. Is the TC main router.. ?? set the dhcp server to short lease time. Like 10min.. if the virgin hub is the router do the same in that.
    Are you connecting by wireless.. ?? Lock the wireless channels and use different name for 5ghz from 2.4ghz to prevent wireless clients jumping around.
    When you lose the TC next time.. open terminal and ping it.. by name and ip address.. tell me what happens.

  • Help, please, with time machine

    I've got my MacBook Pro set up to back up to a Time Capsule using Time Machine. I have three user accounts on my Mac: an admin account just to install stuff, and two standard accounts for different types of work. The standard accounts contain my data and these accounts are both FileVaulted. (The Admin account isn't - it's from there I do my SuperDuper! backups, but that's another story.)
    When I'm in either of my standard, filevaulted accounts, the Time Machine icon often begins to rotate. What exactly is it doing at this point, as I understood my filevaulted accounts weren't backed-up until I logged-out of them? Also, when I do log-out, sometimes it tells me it is backing up my account - but not always. Why does it not bother sometimes, and what determines when it does and when it doesn't?
    Any help would be gratefully received. Sorry if this has already been dealt with before - just point me to the right thread.
    Thanks very much.

    The Bookmark directory is located here:

    Can the external hd be a USB one? or has to be FW?

    Yes, you can do this TM or what I would suggest would be using SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner. Both will make exact copies/clones. The advantage of SD or CCC over TM is the disk will be workable & bootable.

    Depends how much data is written to it... figure on 1/2 hr to an hour, or a bit longer.
    Also i have a couple questions more regarding Time Machine

    In Intel MAcs the drive can be either firewire or USB but of course the fastest transfer speeds would be firewire 800.
    EDIT: Also, The proper way to "clean" a computer before selling it is to zero the hard drive. This will make all your data irretrievable.
    Steps for zeroing the drive Disk Utility:
    1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear.
    2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3. Choose the entire disk (top icon).
    4. Choose erase tab.
    5. Click on Options
    6. Choose "write zeros".
    7. Erase
    This will take a bit of time because the computer is physically writing zeros to each block.
    You should then re-install the original OS from the system disks and deliver the Mac to the new owner with the system disks that shipped with it.
    If you want it to boot as new startup and create an admin account:
    Then, launch Terminal and type:
    sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Press Return
    Then
    cd /
    Press REturn
    Then:
    sudo rm -r /Users/yourname
    Press return.
    Then:
    sudo nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb delete /users/yourname/
    Press return
    Then, shut down the machine immediately.

  • Help Working With Variable Data Sets (PS CS3)

    I have two different projects for which I believe the Variable Data Sets would / could work.
    Project 1:
    I have created a student badge for our TV Media class and I would like to be able to use a Variable Data Set to automatically read a data file with First and Last names and then place them in the locations of my choosing. I would like to be able to import the list and have it automatically create the 30 ID cards I need and/or print them too.
    Project 2:
    I have created a really nice looking school dance ticket. Currently they are about 1.5" x 6". I would like to be able to use a Variable Data Set to automatically add a couple of different pieces of information: Date, Ticket Number (sequential).
    In each case, I have been able to successfully create a data set and replace a single variable, but I have not been able to modify more than one variable in a file.
    Each text selection is on its own layer. I have tried to create a text file that looks like this:
    FName, LName
    Joe, Smith
    Barney, Jones
    Thalia, Chamoix
    I have also tried to create two different files, such as for project two:
    Date
    January 04
    February 12
    March 19
    Number
    1001
    1002
    1003
    No matter what I have tried, I still cannot seem to get more than one variable to function at a time.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I don't hink Data Merge is sophisticated enough to skip a page if the entire record is null, but it will skip blank lines if there is a null field and nothing else on the line.

  • Help needed with Time Machine

    I've installed Boot Camp because I wanted to play an old game. I understood eventually that laptops are not made for that purpose (my one year old MBP was heating too often and I didn't like that). Unfortunately even during that period I've started experiencing some oddness when switching to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Eventually I've decided to uninstall Windows and after three hours playing with Snow Leopard in order to make it as it was before I understood I'm not qualified enough to mess with plists and I do not know what else, so brut force solution - reinstalling entire system from the Time Machine.
    Everything now works very fast, very nice, I've saved time doing that (soooo happy TM saved my life ... again).
    So here's my question: After reinstalling system TM started normal back-up procedure and I get message not enough space on external disk. I use 200Gb for around 100Gb that I have on my computer (I know not so much but works well for me). What I do not get is why does TM need around 30% more space compared to the space I'm using (wants to back-up 130Gb) and why is it not backing-up the system I've just installed but tries to back-up everything from scratch? Is there a procedure to back-up only changed files since the last version?
    What I'm doing know is just saving old back-up on a second external drive (just in case if something goes wrong) and I'll "clean" my primary TM disk and then install again ... of course if somebody knows how to force TM to back-up only the files that changed ...

  • Help needed with "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large

    I'm receiving "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large for the backup disk. I have a 500 GB Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Gen) and a MacBook Pro running on 10.6.8. I just replaced my laptop's original hard drive with a new 1 TB and restored that with what was on my Time Capsule. Now, I have no backups on my Time Capsule prior to the new hard drive. When I click get info on my hard drive, it states only 296 GB of the 1 TB is used. However, the Time Machine error message states that the backup requires 315 GB but only 221 GB are available. It has deleted all of my old backups, so I would think my Time Capsule should have plenty of room to backup the 296 GB on my computer. Is my old backup from my prior hard drive stuck on the Time Capsule and instead of Time Machine trying to just update those files, it is preserving the old hard drive backup separately and trying to make a new backup of my new hard drive using the remaining space? If so, how do I fix this? Any advice greatly appreciated.

  • Help needed with Timer class

    Hi there, could any body tell me if this is a bug with AS3
    Timer class? Right now I'm developing a player with slow motion
    capability using AS3, streaming from FMS3. Basically I used an
    instance of Timer class to toggle play/pause at different
    intervals. However, after doing some stress test (click slow then
    play repeatedly fast), the flash player goes into a state in which
    the video streams keeps going at slow motion and cannot be stopped
    even with ns.close(). I called Timer.stop() whenever switching out
    of slowmo and even removed the event. However as I was tracing it,
    at the non-stoppable state, something is still calling the timer
    and its handling function while Timer.running and
    Timer.hasEventListener both returns false. I'm quite sure there's
    nothing else that calls this specific timer handler.
    Moreover, just out of curiosity, I changed my code and used
    setInterval() method instead and the problem's gone. Would anybody
    tell me if there's a bug with the Timer class or a bug in my own
    code? I'm reluctant to go with setInterval() for good since Timer
    class looks more elegant.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks, kglad! That was exactly my first thought. I made sure
    I only used 1 timer object. Also, the strange thing is, the player
    USUALLY works fine. It only breaks down after a a stress test I
    described before. Any other suggestion on what I should do? Is
    there a way to check who's dispatching the timer event?
