Help with (Error-1) needed please

OK Here goes...... I setup a new iMac for my wife, (In the process I Had to replace the hard disk in her old iMac) Which I took for myself. Now I basically used carbon copy cloner to create the new machine Therefore they probably have the same machine name or something. I set up my account, and installed My software, etc...
Heres the problem: Her machine can backup to the 1 TB Time Capsule no problem, but when I try I get This message:
The Backup disk image "/Volumes/Time Capsule/._Lisa ****'s Computer_001b63976362.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1_).
Is there a way to change this machines Name or ID somewhere in the preferences or at the terminal?
Please help. Thanks

I'm not exactly clear on what you did.
Her iMac has a new internal HD, with a "clone" of your Mac, and can back up ok, right?
Your Mac (also an iMac?) can no longer back up? Did you install her old internal HD in your Mac?
Time Machine keeps track of which computer is which by a hardware identifier, not the Computer Name. But for your own purposes, you might want to change one or both Computer Names, via +System Preferences > Sharing.+ See #P1 in [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for details and limitations on the format of the names. (Sometimes Time Machine will change the name of the sparse bundle on the first backup after you do that, sometimes it won't.)
Time Machine puts each Mac's backups in a separate sparse bundle, so there should be two on your Time Capsule. The one made under Leopard will include the hardware address in the name; the one made under Snow Leopard won't.
If you double-click the Time Capsule in a Finder window's sidebar, then click the Data folder, you should see something like this (in +Column View):+
|
You may need to just select the proper sparse bundle via +Time Machine Preferences.+
If that doesn't help, try repairing your sparse bundle, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If that doesn't work, please correct anything I misunderstood, or if you see something different than the sample.

  • Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

    Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6. 
    I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
    So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
    Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    And the colour started to get messed up.
    And the output is a total diasater
    Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
    So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
    The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
    And the output is just the same as the third option.
    Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

    I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
    if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
    windows calibrate link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
    for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
    you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
    and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
    with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

  • Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

    Hello frnds,
    I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
    first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
    I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
    Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
    My approach is like..
    1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
    START--> pressed
    2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
         read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
         Step 2.. continously..
    3. STOP--> pressed
         until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
    Question is:
    1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
    2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
    please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hello,
    I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
    ---master.java---------------------------------------------------
    import java.sql.*;
    import...
    public class Master {
    public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
    //create connection pool here
    while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
    // set values of variables
    // select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
    execute selected slave program
    // check for loop exit value
    } // end while loop
    System.out.println("Program Complete");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error: " + e);
    } finally {
    if (rSet1 != null)
    try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
    connection.close();
    -------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
    This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
    I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
    Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    if you got into the bios/uefi and have determined that the hdd is being detected then that is good.  At least the hdd is operating to some extent, although still may be corrupt OS or the like.
    Eagle asked you what OS your using (i.e., Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, etc.).  I see that English is not your native language so we'll just have to work with that as best we can. 
    Did you make any changes to the operating system (OS) as a result of the link you posted, and what were they?

    Please help!

    Actually, %n is the new line escape with the printf
    method.Oops, my bad, I didn't know that. Sorry llsmr.
    The problem is he has no indexes into the array wher
    ehe is printing everything out.In the other thread he had that part right, he took them out in this thread.
    You should stick to just one thread per problem llsmr, it helps avoid confusion like this.

  • Need help with blown out highlights please

    Hi.  I am not very good with Photoshop and need some help on how to fix the blown out highlight areas of this photo, please.  I've spent the past couple of hours trying to figure this out and have not found a good technique yet.  Any help will be most appreciated.

    First brighten the shot up using an adjustment layer and then brush your highlights back to where they are now. the fact your shot looks so dark,makes the bright areas more noticeable. if they are totally blown in the original,you cant get detail where it does not exist, but making the overall image brighter visually should help in my opinion.

  • Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

    Hello,
    I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive. 
    This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
    Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

    Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content)  and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
    This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

  • Help with Errors please!

    Hi, I'm building a Flash website.
    I've used frames with names to contain the different 'pages'
    of the site. On the frame called 'SVHS1' I've built an XML mp3
    player with buttons and a volume slider.
    I'm having a couple of problems with this section of the
    site.
    Firstly: when I 'test movie' and navigate to the mp3 player
    section it all works fine, the mp3s load correctly, the playback
    controls work fine, and the volume slider does what it's supposed
    to do. But if I've used the volume slider to adjust the volume (and
    only then) and then navigate to the next frame 'SVHS2' (or any
    frames that are later in the main timeline) I get multiple
    occurrences of the following error in the output pane:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method
    of a null object reference.
    At PSPWebsite1_fla::MainTimeline/adjustVolume()
    I understand (from reading other posts/help etc.) in
    principle what is causing this, but my knowledge of AS3 is too
    limited to know exactly what is wrong with my script or how to fix
    it.
    Secondly: if I press the stop button on my mp3 player and
    then navigate to another frame (any frame before or after
    ‘SVHS1’) the site works fine, and the mp3 player works
    perfectly if I go to that frame again. But if I navigate to another
    frame without first stopping the song it continues to play even
    though I’m not on the mp3 player frame, and if I go back to
    the mp3 player before the song has finished it starts playing
    automatically from the beginning of the first song in the XML list
    again and simply doubles up the sound, which is horrible. When this
    happens the playback controls only affect the 2nd version
    (understandably).
    I think this is probably quite simple to fix, assuming that I
    have to write some script that tells the mp3 player to stop playing
    if/when the user navigates away from that frame...but I don’t
    know how to do this.
    Any help with either of the above would be much appreciated.
    The attached script is for the mp3 player frame.

    You can consider the trace function as being a "can you hear
    me now" helper (instead of an annoying tv commercial gimmick). It
    displays whatever it's told to in the same output window that you
    see that error message come up in. There are two ways I'll usually
    use it.
    I'll often end up simply using a trace("here"); as a means of
    seeing where a process is getting hung up. I gradually move that
    line of code thru what I know to be the step by step sequence of
    the code until "here" no longer shows up. It normally indicates
    that the preceding line of code is where the ball got dropped.
    In AS3, which is often a little more helpful when it trips on
    something, such as the error message you received which tells you
    there's a problem in the adjustVolume function, you can use it to
    see what element in that function is either undefined or out of
    scope.
    Place... trace(vol); ... just after the first line of code in
    that function to see if vol is a number. If it is, then you know
    that line is okay and you can move on to check the next line. If it
    isn't a number, then move the trace before that line and change it
    to... trace(volume_mc.slider_mc.x); ... and see if it is a value.
    If it isn't, then change the trace to check to see what
    trace(volume_mc); results in.... so on and so on.
    It's basically a process of working your way thru code to
    narrow down what piece is the undefined/out-of-scope (or a syntax
    error) element that is causing the problem.
