How do I clear a huge backup for my printer waiting in my computer?

Hey luddite58!
You can either open the print queue and remove them by clicking 'Printer' and then 'Cancel all documents' but some people find an easier way is to use our print diagnostic utility which you can download here.
Hope this helps!

Have been unable to empty trash for the last 24hours, says it is being used by another task, how do I clear it. Thanks for any help.

Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

How to select correct time machine backup for migration assistant

We have two MacBooks backing up to one Time Capsule using time machine: let's call them H and R.
I have had to reinstall Leopard on Macbook H and am now trying to restore using Migration Assistant.
Migration Assistant finds the Time Capsule and identifies that there are two Time Machine Backups, but doesn't give an option to select the one to use.
Whenever I click 'Continue' it does the 'Checking time machine backup' (for hours), then brings up the data to restore, but every time it comes up with the data and settings from Macbook R.
How can I tell Migration Assistant which Time Machine Backup I want to use?

Brilliant. That was it.
I used the other MacBook to run Disk Utility on my backup volume and repaired it: #A5 is bang on.
Then, Setup Assistant saw both backups and let me select the one I wanted. It's now transferring my stuff.
Very relieved and extremely grateful.
Your apple tips should come with every mac and time capsule.

How do I clear call history from a 6500A Printer?

I am upgrading to a new HP printer and want to donate my 6500A, but need to clear the call history first. There was a tool to clear fax log, but how do I clear call history? I checked after clearing the fax log, and all the phone numbers are still listed in the call history.
Maybe a better question is whether I can reset to factory defaults, clearing all settings/history?
This question was solved.

As it turned out, I contacted HP by phone and received excellent help.
There is a subset menu that can be found when you tap the 'back' icon... the icon on outside the lit display that does not show up until you tap it. They had me find the appropriate page and do a 'partial reset'. That brings the printer back to the page where the next time it is turned on, it will ask for all of the original set-up questions and all memory is deleted. I have therefore been able to donate the machine to the local Women Helping Women organization with no concerns that I may also have donated a list of contacts! Thanks to HP for the excellent customer service!

How to get black text in Aperture for offset printing?

I have a lot of text in my Aperture Books.
60 pages is like 300USD plus from Apple store!
Offset printing for 1000 copies is 3 USD each (and I am happy with that lower quality).
This is what my printer says:
The files for offset print generally should be prepared slightly different
then for digital printing.
I'm talking about the text.
Each black text (on the cover, inside pages, numbers of pages) should be
prepared in one black colour. Now is separated on 4 colours. Of course we can print it as it is but I'm sure that the final effect will
be not good. The black letters will be "fuzzy".
Is it possible to change some settings? (I get the same in Pages when I create PDF:s)
Help!!!

Do I have to learn Indesign?

I tried to save as PDF-X and then I opened the generated PDF and if I use Acrobat
Advanced->Print Production and Output Preview and hold the cross over my black text I still get values for CMYK
I guess thats how you check it?
Hi, Stefan
I would suggest talking directly with the person you're going to deliver to and ask them exactly how they want it delivered, for example, fonts, pdf type... they usually have a spec sheet you deliver to and then pick the PDF from the print options in Aperture.

Dell 968w..how do I set the IP address for network printing?

Attempting to connect my Dell 968w to the network for access by my HP and Dell laptops. Dell said I need an IP address for the printer..how do I set the address???

you need to contact dell printer support for this info...this is usually done by printing a network config page on your printer & you'll see the printer ip address there.

How do I get the device context for a printer inwindows

I need to know the device context for the printer that a user has
selected via a print dialog box. This is the hDC property for the
selected printer. The Windows common dialog control (which I'm
assuming Forte is using) has a property for this but it doesn't seem to
be a property that I can get from the PrintOptionsDesc that is returned
via Forte's PrintDialog method. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any and all help.

How do you clear the email history for addresses on the Z10 ?

I would like to know how to delete the history of names on the BBZ10 please.
You know like on outlook when you dont want an address to appear again you bring up the address and then highlight it and then hit the delete button and its gone from your history for good.
Well how do you do it with BB's?
I have email addresses that I have deleted from the contacts list and yet they still come up when i start to type up another email?
Surely this must be a no brainer but I'm missing something.
I used to have this same issue with my Torch and my 9800 before that.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem for me please?
I hope my explanation has been clear enough as well.
Appreciate the solution greatly.
thanks,

How do I remove a TM backup for a drive that is no longer used

Since starting using TM I have transferred all the files from one drive to another and removed the original drive from the machine.
Will TM realise this and remove the back up data from the TM drive or do I have to identify the specific part of the backup and delete.
Please do not say clear off all the data on the TM drive and restart - it takes over 24 hours to run the first back up to the Time Capsule.
THe redundant backup is taking over a third of the TM drive and so is a resource hog.
Thanks for any answers.

As Thomas says, Time Machine will, eventually, delete them. You can do it manually but it will take quite a while, so connect via Ethernet cable. That will still be slow, but 2-3 times faster than WIFI.
You'll need to use the procedure in #E3 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) to see the backups of that drive.
Then use the procedure in #12 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) to delete all backups of the drive. That will take quite a while, and won't immediately get the space back. To do that, you'll need to manually "compact" the sparse bundle, per the pink box in #12.

How can I revert to a backup for my icloud account?

I bought my wife a new IMac which works great. The problem is that icloud pushed all my phone contacts to her imac after I signed on to my iphone/istore account using her imac. I deleted all the contacts from her imac (bad move) which in turn deleted all my years of contacts from my iphone 4. I did a sync with my phone to itunes on my PC and did a revert for my iphone. This worked great but when I went within cell range it erased all my contacts again. I did another sync with my phone and turned off icloud on my phone. My contacts are now on my phone only. How can I get these many contacts back on icloud without physically retyping? Can I make my old iphone backup the current icloud database? Help!

This will help this from happening again but my question remains; Can I make my old iphone backup the current database for my icloud account? I want to activate icloud on my phone again and have my contacts backed up without erasing them. I am going to set up a new icloud account for my wife's imac to prevent future problems.

How to config the levels of backup for partioned cache?

hi all,
As coherence's document says, "Partitioned caches can be configured with as many levels of backup as desired, or zero if desired. Most installations use one backup copy (two copies total). ", could you pls. tell how? Great thanks!
thanks,
michael

Hi Michael,
there are several reasons on why it is usually recommended to have at least 3 nodes:
1. When a single node fails, Coherence after a short time (after the rebalance of the cluster completes) gets itself into a state which again is capable of surviving a single error (data is still backed up at least once). If there is only two nodes, and only one of them remains, this is obviously not possible.
2. Some of Coherence's protocols for determining what should happen after a cluster node becomes inaccessible behave differently when there are at least 3 nodes (majority wins), whereas when 2 nodes can't communicate with each other, none of them can determine which is faulty.
As for backup count:
Total memory consumption without overhead in the cluster is roughly (1+backupcount)*dataset-size + 1 * index-size.
I believe backup count larger than the number of nodes does not have any additional effect, each node will store only a single copy of the data.

Robert

How do I access an older backup for my iPhone 5 through iTunes?

Does anybody know how to access and restore from an older iPhone backup?
When I upgraded to an iMac, iTunes was not able to recognize my iPhone and rest it.
Needless to say, I lost ALL of my important data.
HELP!

iTunes only stores a single backup, the last one. If there is a backup available, it is listed in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. Unfortunately and even if there is a backup on hand, if the thing don't wanna play ball and offer a restore, you are out of luck.
Maybe the backup is from too old a version and incompatible with a current phone?

How do I clear out multiple entries for a persons name in the Faces selection?

Can I get some help clearing up multiple entries in the "Click to Name" dialog box in iPhone 9.6?
Here's the behavior I'm seeing:
When I try to assign a name to a Face by clicking the "Click to Name" option, I start typing in my son's name and iPhone is showing me 15 entries for his name.
Of the 15 options, only 1 of them shows a mini-thumbnail photo of him, and a different one suggests that it's from the Contacts app, but the rest of them are blank.
This behavior is not happening for any of the other Faces in the library.
In terms of troubleshooting, I've opened Apple Contacts and ensured there is only 1 contact record for him (there are 2 email address listed). I've selected Library > Faces > And I see one polaroid image in the list for my son. In the past if there were multiple listings here I've seen similar results. I'm not sure what else to try.
What causes these to be duplicated?

I spoke with Apple Support today and they provided a workaround:
I had 7 entries for a person.
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 1
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 2
Repeat until you have at least 1 photo tagged with each of the 7 entries
Now go back to Faces and you'll see 7 polaroids listed.
Select each of them and merge them.
Problem solved.

Database Integrity check failed, how to find an un-corrupted backup for recovery

I got database integrity check task that runs weekly. The job ran March 23rd but failed on March 30th. We have identified that there is a corruption in database and now the task is to restore it from backup (with data loss). We have database backup running
every-night and I need to know how can I find which is the latest backup that's not corrupted.
The MSDN documentation says "RESTORE VERIFYONLY" command does not verify whether the structure of the data contained within the backup set is correct. Does it mean the restore command will not able to detect corruption in the database and I just
need to restore each of the backs starting from the latest to see if integrity check fails after restore ? OR RESTORE VERIFYONLY will confirm if the database is un-corrupted ?

As the documentation suggests, RESTORE VERIFYONLY checks the structure of the backup but not the database itself. You'll need to restore the backup to check the database consistency.
