How to convert case-sensitive to extended journal format
I have two apple computers (extended journal format) that have been backed up via a time capsule. I have just noticed that the TC is formatted as case-sensitive. I do not know why case-sensitive. In an effort to ensure consistency of file format then I seek to somehow remove case-sensitive formatting. I presume no/minimal underlying case-sensitivity issues within file names as source data is not formatted in case-sensitive manner.
I have tried SuperDuper to clone the TC to an external HDD but the application cloned the formatting in addition to the data.
I have attempted use of Disk Utility to copy content from source (TC) to destination (HDD) but this yielded error messages that noted different file format types.
It there a way to convert/remove case sensitive formatting from TC?
I appreciate that I could simply reformat TC to extended journal format but this would presumably erase all my backup data.
Any guidance most welcomed.

So I guess my choice is to "leave well alone" as Pondini suggests and accept the fact that cloning TC onto HDD has now formatted my new HDD as case-sensititive.
Actually, you may have two choices, depending on how you're going to be backing-up to the new HD:
Your best bet, by far, is to back up to it directly, rather than connecting it to the TC. That's much faster and more reliable. If so:
* Leave the TC backups alone. Reformat the HD as case-ignorant and let Time Machine start fresh on it. You can always see and restore from the old ones via the Browse... option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.
* Format the HD as case-sensitive and copy the backups from the TC to it. But don't copy the whole sparse bundle; copy the Backups.backupdb folder from the sparse bundle to the top level of the HD. (Sparse bundles are used only for network backups.) See #18 in the FAQ; you'll need the 4th procedure (copy network backups to be used locally.
But if you're going to connect the HD to the TC and back up to it that way, it doesn't matter how you format the HD, since the backups must be in a sparse bundle, that has its own format. Two choices for that:
* Leave the TC backups alone. Connect the HD to the TC and select it as the TM destination, and Let Time Machine start fresh on it. You can always see and restore from the old ones via the Browse... option, as above. (There is a way to speed up the first backup; see the blue box in #Q2 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.)
* Copy ("Archive") the TC's internal disk to the external HD, per the green box in #Q6 of the same article. Then select the external as your Time Machine destination via Time Machine Preferences.
Is this simply deferring a problem issue to another time (aagh)? Or to somehow try and remove this inconsistency and remove case-sensitive formatting from all tech items, even if this might mean reformatting and losing old backup data?
No. There's not really a problem, unless you change the case of file/folder names and try to restore the old ones to the same place via the TM browser, per the link in my earlier post. That's the only possible downside.
Does Time Machine require case-sensitive formatting on its destination drive?
No. It's the default, but case-ignorant is fine, unless you ever want to add a case-sensitive volume. Then you're in a pickle.
Or does Time Capsule only function witih case-sensitive formatting?
No. The TC's actual disk is case-ignorant; it's only the Time Machine sparse bundle that's case-sensitive by default.
The benefit of case-sensitive formatting as Apple default seems rather unclear to me
It's the default only for Time Machine backups. Everything else defaults to case-ignorant.
The advantage is, once you've been backing-up your internal HD for weeks, months, or years, and want to add a case-sensitive external HD to be backed-up, you can. If the backups are case-ignorant, you can't.

Time machine on local WiFi network - OS Extended (Journaled) format error
Hi guys,
I did an initial Time machine backup of my Macbook Pro via Firewire to an external hard disk. Everything went smoothly and later Time Machine did regular backups without any problem.
When I attached the external Time Machine hard disk to one of the Macs in my local WiFi network the troubles began.
My Macbook could still see and mount the Time Machine drive via the network but didn't want to backup to this drive any longer. It came up with this error message: "The backup volume is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required..."
When I connected the Time Machine drive back to my Macbook directly via Firewire, it resumed its backup duties without complaining. Very strange...
Whenever Time Machine tries to excess the drive via the network (AFP shared) I get the format error message. Attached directly to the Firewire port it works flawlessly. Any suggestions how to solve the problem?
I really want to do my backups via the wireless network and without having to plug-in the drive directly into my Macbook, which wouldn't be a very mobile solution for a laptop
Would an Airport Extreme station with an attached USB drive behave differently?read this:

I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?
Thank youSo it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

Why don't my Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format FW drives appear in FCP?!
When I connect my camera via FW and try to import large files, I can't get FCP to display my FW 3TB drive. It's Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted with just the one partition. My internal drive is partitioned into three and they are all shown as drives I can create events on. The 3TB ext is also one of my TimeMachine drives.
I have another FW 2TB drive that is not a TimeMachine drive and also is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and it wont mount/display in FCP X either. They all mount and work fine in Finder.Okay I got back another drive which is exFAT format and FCP doesn't see it either. It doesn't have any of those kinds of folder names. All unquie names not generic.
Doesn't it see it, like it didn't even formated as HFS+

Time Machine error!
The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required.
And what's Time Capsule?If you're trying to use Time Machine with an external hard drive the drive must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled);
So use Disk Utility to reformat the EHD and then open Time Machine and select the drive again.

How to convert internal table data to PDF format
HI,
I have an internal table data having one field with 255 chars. length.I want to send that intenal table data as attachemnt with external mail. i am thinking of converting that data into PDF format and use the FM to send the mail. How to convert internal table data to PDF format.
KishoreIn which format is your data in the internal table currently. Is it returned by a smartform/script or its just data fetched from some database table into an internal table. Since its obvious that the data should appear in the PDF with some Layout, you should be using smartform to format the data properly. See the Link

How to display case sensitive elements in an adobe interactive form
Hi Experts,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section for my problem or if I should post it in Web Dynpro section...
Out of an Web Dynpro Component I'm starting an Adobe Interactive Forms and filling it's elements by Web Dynpro Context Nodes. So long everything's fine.
Now I need to display some elements depending on cases of my Web Dynpro.
In other words for example:
if x = 1 show some elements in my interactive form,
if x = 2 don't show them but show other elements
and so on....
Is there any function in interactive forms to realize that?
I had a similar problem before, depending on Web Dynpro cases different Forms are executed and displayed as shown here
[Re: Web Dynpro & case sensitive selection of Adobe Forms] but in this case I need to handle with the elements of my interactive forms.....
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
TanHi,
back again, had to handle other issues, sorry.
Just to get a little more concrete. The condition depends on the context node attributes. So if an attribute is initial, it's field should not been shown, if it's not initial, it should ne shown. There are 6 context attributes and therefore 6 fields in the form. How can I get the attributes' value?
And can I put them into the same subform or do I have to create 7 (6 conditions + blank-condition) subforms?
I put the fields (textfield and context node value) that should be shown depending on conditions in a subform. So how can I adress this subform?
I'm not so familiar with JavaScript, so please help me. I need something like:
if (context_node_attribute X is initial) {
subform_1.presence = "hidden" ;
I tried it with
if ( ARB_STUNDEN.rawValue != null) {
Beratungsstunden.presence = "hidden" ;
but it didn't work....
Thanks,

How can change Case Sensitivity in MS SQL 2008
hi expert,
I want to change Case Sensitivity to Case Insensitivity in MS SQL 2008.
how can I do??
any help please
thanks and regards
junHello,
there is no way to change this. The SQL Server itself and the SAP Database are installed in an case sensitive collation. If you were albe to change this, your installation will be no longer supported and will, in the worst case, generate incorrect data within the SAP database.
So, start live with it, there is no way to change it.
Best regards

How to get Case Sensitive Check Box at Search Page
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get case sensitive check box at the bottom of the search page, for that we have to set any propert or we ahve to do anything else.
Please Help!!!!
Thanks,
AmitHave never really thought of it. One thing you need to do is set the Case Insesitive Searching Option correclty in PeopleTools Options. I can't find any other setings. But it might have to do with the fields that are on your Search record. My guess is if any of the Search Fields are of type Character and format Mixedcase then the Case Sensitive check box will be displayed automatically.

How to Configuring case sensitivity for NFS on Windows Server 2012
Configure Case Sensitivity for File and Folder Names
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725747.aspx
To configure case sensitivity for file and folder names using the command prompt
Open a command prompt.
To enable case sensitivity, type:
nfsadmin server [ComputerName] config casesensitivelookups=yes
But, "casesensitivelookups" is removed in Windows 2012 version.
Help Me~Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response.
According to the following article, we still can use
nfsadmin to configure case sensitivity for Server for NFS in Windows Server 2012.
Nfsadmin
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771599.aspx
Note:We
need to disable Windows kernel case-insensitivity in order for Server for NFS to support case-sensitive file names. We can disable Windows kernel case-insensitivity by clearing the following registry key to 0:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel
DWORD “obcaseinsensitive”
Hope it helps.
