HT201250 How can I verify that the time machine has backed up all the files on my macbook pro?

Does someone have experience with the question I have raised on Time machine?

I use the Time Machine Buddy widget. It shows the log files or you could look in the Console and spotlight for Time Machine.

how can i verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223?

Talk to someone who knows something about networking and/or firewalls on an appropriate forum.
Configuring your network and/or firewall is beyond the scope of this forum, which is devoted to issues using the iPhone.

HT201250 How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory

How can I verify that the PCI-6534 is using all of its onboard memory?

When using a PCI-6534 under Windows 98 with NI-DAQ 6.9, I need to transfer a small buffer (8126464 bytes) to the adapter, and get it into the onboard memory. The board is configured for 32 bits output, and I'm using handshake mode. DAQ_GET_DEVICE_INFO tells me that there is 33554432 bytes for each Group. DIG_Block_Check shows that 2031587 words (8126348 bytes) are remaining to transfer. Is that in the PC system memory or the PCI-6534 on board memory? How can I tell if it is safe to reuse the (PC side) buffer? Also, How big is the FIFO on the PCI-6534?

When you call DIG_Block_Out, NI-DAQ first downloads your data into the 6534 memory. Only after the download is done (which should happen at about 80 MB/s) it starts outputting data and DIG_Block_Out returns. So it is safe for you to reuse your PC memory buffer as soon as DIG_Block_Out returns.
This is assuming your entire buffer fits in memory. If it doesn't, NI-DAQ will download all the data that fits and start the transfer, and as more 6534 memory becomes available the DMA channel will fill it up.
The 6534 has a 16 sample FIFO and an additional 32 MB of memory for each handshaking group. So for 32-bit transfers you can fit 8 MSamples, for 16-bit transfers you can fit 16 MSamples (per group), and for 8-bit transfers you can fit 32 MSamples (per group) in the 6534
memory.

How can I verify that Adobe AE CC has properly updated to v12.2

Adobe Updater keeps saying I have the latest version, but I'm not so sure.
Here's why.
The About box still shows AE version 12.0.0.404
The file date for AfterFX.exe remains 5/23/2013 and also shows as version 12.0.0.404
Features that are advertised as new in version 12.1 do not appear:
(including: command for moving anchor point to center of content)
4. Features that are advertised as new in version 12.2 also do not appear:
(including: command for converting a parametric shape layer path to a Bezier path)
That said, both AE and CC panel both show After Effects as being the most current (although they do not mention a version #)
I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then using CC to reinstall, no change.
I have also manually downloaded and installed the update to 12.2... no change.
Any suggestions?
TIA.

//answering my own post below
Last night I was notified by CC that AE had yet another update. Cool, maybe this one would be the one that would take. Nope.
After applying the update, AE was still hung on version 12.0.0.404. Further frustrating was the contradictory assurance from the CC proggie that AE was indeed up to the most current version.
How can this be? I wish I could say it was a stroke of genius on my part that solved the riddle, but it was really just dumb luck.
While exploring the updates that I had previously downloaded, I noticed a subfolder in my download folder called "Adobe After Effects CC". Now this is on a completely separate drive than the one that hosts my working copy of AECC which was installed at, and is run from, the default location on my C drive. I peered inside the errant folder and saw what looks to be a viable install of AECC?! I verified the version numbers were correct on AfterFX.exe. For some reason that remains a mystery, Adobe CC had installed, without user initiative or notification, a second copy of AECC on a different drive and in a subfolder of my downloads folder.
To fix the problem, I replaced the old files with the new ones, deleted a few plugins that have changed due to the updates, reentered my serials for a few plugins, and everything works as it should....... that is, until the next update
Woohoo!
TLDR; During a reinstall and/or update process, AECC may install to non-default location. If your updates have not applied, search your drives for an errant copy of AE.

Time Machine NOT backing up all new files

I have 3 internal disks in my Mac Pro: SYSTEM (System and Apps), DATA (all my user data), and TM (Time Machine)
i use TM in manual mode to backup my DATA disk, typically every time i copy new images from my camera to my DATA disk.
i notice that sometime the latest files i copied to my machine are NOT backed bup by TM.
Every time i run TM, it finishes really quick, i.e. seeing nothing new to back up.
I then created a simple text file, and invoked TM again - and this very latest file was backed up - but my images from the past few days are STILL not backed up (and likely never to be, it seems).
Other things i;ve tried (w/ no success):
- ran Disk Utility verify on all disks
- rebuilt Directories w/ Disk Warrior
- tried (in vain) to force a TM Deep Traversal by:
   a- restarting,
   b- starting up using my install CD
   c- restarting in Safe Mode
ps: here is an archived thread i found about this, but no solution mentioned

help!
thanks!

G'day
Xcode is an IDE, too. It automatically excludes its "build" folders.
It's still worthwhile to take a few moments to check, via the yellow box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #11, just to rule that out.
Sorry, lack of clarity on my part. I did make the check first time around. The files are not excluded.
Yes, that's a possibility. Try making/copying a different folder.
Because this morming TM decided to copy the folders it was ignoring yesterday it is now up to date. I need to re-establish the errant behaviour i.e. wait until TM ignores a new version or two. Then I'll make a new folder and copy the contents of the IDE development folder into it. If folder damage is the issue then from then on new versions made will be copied by TM. I predict in fact this won't make a difference because I don't reckon folder damage is the issue. (But of course now that it is being watched TM will behave faultlessly and won't re-estabish the errant behaviour.)
True, but the folders should appear on subsequent backups (unless the originals were moved or deleted in the meantime). In other words, anything backed-up on Monday will still appear on the first Tuesday backup, even after all the Monday backups are deleted. You just can't tell which backup first backed them up.
Indeed. I can do a bit more analysis there. I will schedule that for tonight too.
How are you determining what's backed-up? Are you using TimeTracker or BackupLoupe,per #A2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting?
No. I simply open the Product Versions folder (that contains the copies of the developmet folder) on the desktop and then go into TM. There I step backwards through the backups. TM shows me what folders it has in in the Product Versions folder of each backup.
Without knowing the dates & timing, I agree it doesn't seem consistent. If you're getting different results at nearly the same time on the two drives, that may not be the problem. But it may be worth making some new ones to determine what's actually happening.
Not that I know I have to keep an eye on this I will be watching much more closely as I make versions during the day. To push the process along I will make versions, and associated TM backups, more frequently than normal and check each TM backup.
You might want to repair both TM drives, just to be sure, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. While you're at it, you might as well verify your internal HD, just to be sure there's not some sort of odd directory problem there.
Understood. I'll start by re-establishing the errant behaviour which I'll do via the accelerated process of development and versioning described above. You must be coming up to quitting time for the week. By the time you come in Monday morning I should have more to report. (I'm in Australia and I presume you are in the US.)

How can I verify that the Trace and Points tables are being updated?

I am using MSQuery to look at the data in my Citadel database, but it appears there is no data in the database. There are transactions in the A/E viewer. I am totally new to lookout and citidel. TIA.

Hi Jeff,
Here are some old articles on accessing Citadel 4 data from MSQuery and MSAccess. These should at least give you a starting point:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/85CECF0AEEC5B1B28625680800733CC6
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/0A3D4EEAC9208065862568080072DB9F
Also, do you have NI-MAX? You can check for data in there too.
Hope this helps,
Khalid

How can I verify that I properly "SIM-unlocked" my IPhone 4?

As part of my service plan with Bouygues (France), I got an IPhone 4 which is "SIM-locked" and can not be used with another telephone operator.
After 3 months it is possible to organise the "SIM-unlocking" of the phone, free of charge.
I did so by contacting the customer support and performing the appropriate procedure with ITunes. Everything seems to have gone right, the IPhone 4 is as great a phone as it was before,
my question is simple, how can I verify that the phone is actually unlocked? a menu in the phone for example?
Patrick

Just put a sim from a different carrier in and try it.

HT4859 How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in iCloud. With Dropbox, I can actually see my stored files. With iCloud, itseems I'm supposed 2 just trust that Appl has the data. Short of doing a restore is there no way to check the data?

How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

HT201250 how can I check that all photos have been backed up in time machine

I have used Time Machine for the first time to back up my Macbook Air. Macbook Air's iPhoto shows approx 5200 pictures on file.
How can I check that the external hard drive (Time Machine) has all 5200 saved correctly before deleting the photos from the Macbook Air ?

The only way to check a back up is to do a restore of it.
However, why are you deleting your photos from the MBA? If you do they will also be deleted from Time Machine eventually. TM keeps a rolling back up of your machine. It copies and maintains your additions and deletions. Eventually, these photos will be deleted from TM too. It's not an archiving app.

How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
so that is why the backup is so small.
And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
But never will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.
http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
Avoid like the plague file vaults..
When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

Hi,
don't know as much as I should about JTable, but it seems that using yourTable.getDefaultRenderer() could help you: if I clearly understood the javadoc notes, it returns an object inheriting from JLabel, so you should be able to use setHorizontalAlignment(int align) on it... no time to verify this, but I'd be thankfull if you tell me the results !!!

Async tcp client and server. How can I determine that the client or the server is no longer available?

Hi,
Have you debug these two applications? Does it go into the catch exception block when you close the client or the server?
According to my test, it will throw an exception when the client or the server is closed, just log the exception message in the catch block and then you'll get it:
private async void Process()
try
while (true)
var data = await this.Receive();
this.NewMessage.Invoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));
catch (Exception exception)
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
By the way, I don't know what the SafeInvoke method is, it may be an extension method, right? I used Invoke instead to test it.

Who is the idiot that decided to drop manual syncing of contacts and calendars?
I am on the point of dropping all APPLE machines!
I am looking to sync without having to worry about security issues, keeping my files and passwords locally on my machines, and not an external server such as a cloud drive.
Do you know if Outlook syncs also over an external server?
