The backups aren't, but when you restore them, the result is bootable.
And, effective with 10.7.2, if you back up to a directly-connected external HD, Time Machine copies the Recovery HD to the Time Machine drive, so you can start up from it if your internal dies.
Take a look at this site (in particular scroll down to Time Machine):
Just for future reference, since Apple's dropping web hosting via MobileMe, I've moved my site.
The new version is at http://pondini.org
I'll leave the old one "as is" for a few days, then put redirect notices on it until it goes "poof" in June.

How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow. How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
Can anyone help ?

Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.

How do I make multiple movies look like one?

I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
small flash animation. The final published flash file is
approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
(to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
multiple movies look like one?
Thank you.

Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
next movie?

How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

You can do that by editing the template of the document.
Open the document, go to Edit->Template. A dialog will launch which will have element types on the left and it's properties on the right.
Select Scene Heading(or Character name) on the left. On the right, go to 'Text' tab and click on Bold checkbox.
Press OK.
Hope this helps.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

HT2476 how do i clean my start up disk and free up space

how do i clean my start up disk and free up space

I have a iMac and desparetly need some freed up space. I have emptied trash for iPhoto, iMail, cleared extra disk images, checked for old printers, and then emptied my trash bin on the desktop. I have 616MB. Most of my space is taken up by photos, video and music that I would like to organize for our family. I have just started in with iMovie and will be working with many of those items, but due to the excessive amount of them, can I can move to an external hard drive and work on only one year at a time? (We have 7 years of digital overload to go through.) Is it easy to work with files once they are moved to an external hard drive? What would the best steps to take from here? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.

How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?
Instead of it starting up with a dialogue box to select an existing or start a new document.

@Alley_Cat thanks for the ideas.
I turned off System Preferences > iCloud > Documents&Data - problem solved.
I'll use DropBox instead - it provides the options for a better experience. I hope Apple keep working on iCloud so that it doesn't go the way of Moble Me.

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

How to free space in start up disk in Snow leopard... please give step by step process

how to free space in start up disk in Snow leopard... please give step by step process someone help me ......

What's taking up all your space? To find out, click finder in your dock, the select your home user. This will display your user folders. Start by selecting your music folder by clicking it once, then the space bar on your key board. This will open a window display this files size.    Take note of the size of the following folders:
     1. Music
     2. Movies
     3. Pictures
     4. Downloads
This will help you determine where you space is going.
Once you have determined that.... deside what you want to delete or move in order to save space. Moving Library's to external drives is often the best way to free up space.
For iPhoto Libraries, see - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
For iTunes Libaries, see - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
For iMove Events, see - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1026 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/19555.html
NOTE - With iMovie events, ensure you "move" the events, not just copy them as shown in the second article
Also go through your applications folder, and delete any unwanted applications.
Ensure your downloads folder is empty or unwanted downloads deleated
Ensure your iPhoto Trash is empty http://www.ehow.com/how_4501773_empty-trash-iphoto.html
Finally ensure your Trash is empty by clicking "finder" in the top menu directly beside the apple, and selecting "empty trash"
Hope that helps

HT201364 how do i free up start up disk to in stall Mavericks

how do i free up start up disk to install Mvericks.....trying to complete Mountain Lion upgrade.

By either deleting file from the internal drive or moving them to an external drive.
Use Finder for either.

How do i solve the 'start up disk almost full' problem?

when i turn on my macbook air, it comes up with a warning message that says 'start up disk almost full' and that i need to clear some space, how do i do this?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How do I make multiple screens transition?

I have figured out how to make multiple camera angles play onscreen at one time, but I would like the layout to change while the video plays, how do I do this (or at least get started)? I realize that this is probably basic, but I am making the move from basic editing in iMovie and it is proving painful.

OK, so I am making a demo video for my live music show.
I have three angles, one front, one of the guitar, and one of my feet.I have all three playing onscreen simultaneously in three screen panels on the main video screen.
If I export it right now you see all three angles playing at once
The layout is such that one angle is larger than the other two.
I would like, at certain points in the video, to have the emphasis change, and have the video transition to one of the other panels getting larger, and the big one getting smaller.
Does that help?

How can I make an invalid dynamic disk Array available to the OS again

Hello Storage Pros
The setup
I have a Promise VTrak E610f head unit with 2 VTrak 610j expansion units attached to it together giving me over 27 TB of usable storage space.
At the hardware level I slip the storage into 6 parts containing 7
1TB disks and had the parts configured into 6 RAID 6 arrays. In the end; each of the 6 arrays gives me 4.6TB of usable storage space.
On the OS level, I have the storage attached to 2 servers: Windows server 2008 and windows server 2008 R2 over a Qlogic fiber channel switch. Each of the 6 arrays are viewable as basic disks of 4,6Tb which I went on to configure as a single RAID 0
spanned volume of 27TB and for that all the disks had to be converted to dynamic.
The problem
Now comes the problem: On my first attempt to do a firmware update on the VTrak E610f storage; all the volumes were rendered foreign and I had to import them to be able to use them. Although the import was successful, I lost all the set NTFS permissions
and SMB share and I had to manually reconfigure them. Upon doing so The OS registered some inconsistencies in the storage and recommended that I ran chkdsk. Since the storage is that big I reluctantly complied and restarted the server.
The first server was restarted BUT chkdsk did not commence as scheduled, the server powered right up. After logging in to inspect; I discovered - to my surprise, that the disks were now shown as invalid in Disk Manager and were no longer visible to
the OS. Assuming that maybe a restart of the other server and the storage would set things right, I went ahead to do so but to no avail. After rebooting the entire system (including the storage), the other server also displayed the disks as invalid and were
no longer visible to the OS as well.
My question is; how can I make the disk available again from this ‘invalid’ state without losing data?
What I tried but did not help:
Taking the disks offline and then online again did not work, after the disks were online again, they still appeared as invalid.
Reactivating the disks threw an error “operation not allowed on an invalid disk pack”
Calling support of the storage manufacturer: they did not find anything wrong with the system, after 5 hours we had to stop.
I fear converting the array from dynamic to basic will destroy all the data.
HxD is showing no errors in the disks
If there is any expert out there with helpful tips; your assistance will be greatly appreciate.
Cheers
John

Hello Shoan
Thanks a lot for your response and tips. Sorry I could not get back to you in good time for I had to run some of the tests you provided, it took some time to
thoroughly re-test the system.
The summary
The initial firmware upgrade attempt forced 3 disks offline and the other 3 became foreign. I had to re-import them to have access again. after re-importing
the disks I realized all NTFS permissions and SMB shares of the folders on the disks had disappeared, but at least the disk was visible and accessible at that point - but not fault free. It was recommened that I let chkdsk run. However rebooting the
system to allow chkdsk to run did not result in chkdsk running, instead chkdsk did not run and after restart, the OS showed the disks as invalid. And that is still the case now.
Response to your questions:
Yes the storage array was (and is still) connected to another server 2008 R2 server when the problem occurred. The second server is also displaying the same problem: the disks are shown as invalid.
The loss of SMB shares and NTFS permissions occurred after the initial firmware upgrade attempt, some disks (3 out of 6 of them) were forcibly offlined and the other 3 were, suddenly, marked as foreign. In the end, and to have access to the disks
I had to online the offlined 3 disks and then reimport the rest of them. From the way I understand it, if the upgrade was not the cause, then at least it was the trigger.
In as far as converting disks from dynamic to basic, I was not in luck so far:
Three of the companies I have contacted (recommended by promise Technology technician) so far only work with smaller disks like 2TB, 27 TB like I have is so
far too big.
I’m not sure converting the disks to basic will help much though, since that would break the single 27 TB volume which the OS was working with into 6 individual
disks of 4.6 TB. Will I be able to get the data back that was written to just one volume from those 6 individual and unrelated disks?
Above all, I have connected the RAID storage system to a newly installed Server 2008 R2, the disks are also shown as invalid.
I have spent more than 17 hours in remote sessions with a Promise Technology technician trying the resolve the issue. From the technician’s side all seems in place with the exception
that the disks are invalid in the OS.
I have contacted Microsoft Customer Support service with the issue. Given that Microsoft did not manufacture the storage unit, can they help at this point – or am I better off
putting my hopes else?
Your help is always appreciated and again, thanks for your response and advice.
