What is Airport Utility and why do I need to access Airport witeless devices in order to backup my iMac using Time Machine...HELP!!! PLEASE??
AirPort Utility is required to configure an Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
Time Machine can use a Time Capsule or a locally connected volume. You only need to use AirPort Utility if you are using a Time Capsule.

What are smart mailboxes and why do i need both smart and "normal" ones?
What are smart mailboxes and why do I need both smart and "normal" mailboxes?
Hi Kingoftypos,
Thanks for that clarification. So, now it appears that the ultimate purpose of a Smart Mailbox is to point to all emails that meet the criteria in a single place, so if they are spread among several mailboxes, you will be able to see them all together. Here is an article from Apple that describes it:
A Smart Mailbox displays in one location messages that are stored in other mailboxes, so you don’t have to move messages between mailboxes. The messages displayed by a Smart Mailbox are based on criteria you define, and are automatically updated to include new messages that match your criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Mailbox that displays all messages found in all mailboxes from a specific sender.
If you change a message in a Smart Mailbox, such as marking the message as read or unread, or moving or deleting the message, the change is reflected in the mailbox where the message is actually stored.
So, adam, I would think that, if you had mail going to a lot of different places, and wanted to be able to see a particular set of those in a single place, you would use a smart mailbox. Maybe use the rules to direct your mail to different places to start with, but a smart mailbox to bring a set of common ones all together into a single smart mailbox?
Maybe you have Rules move your Amazon mail to an Amazon folder and your Apple mail to an Apple folder, but then you have a Smart Mailbox that contains any mail that has the word "Receipt" in the Subject line?
Just a thought....

What are Layers? And why do I need them?
WHAT ARE LAYERS? AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
Layers are an essential part of Photoshop. With Layers you can separate pictures or design elements from each other, as if they are stacked on pieces of glass. With all elements separate, you can move or change them independent of each other.
Layers are used for many tasks, including improving your images' color or tone; merging two or more images in one Photoshop file; and creating Web designs and animations.

KEY CONCEPT: LAYER
PHOTOSHOP/ LAYERS BASICS - Reference GuideAfter creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
To seean instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.

I have Windows 7. I was previously using Windows 98 when I set up ITunes and developed a library of music and movies. When I try to log in I keep getting a message stating that am using an older version of Windows and that I need to turn off "compatability mode to use ITunes. Where and why do I need to do this?

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.
So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
The above comes from here:

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal. -
HT201250 Do I need to partition my external hard drive if I'm using Time Machine and other storage?
I never used Time Machine before. I was storing select files on my external hard drive as well as using my libraries (IPhoto, ITune, IMovies) directly off of the external hard drive. That hard drive is giving me problems, so I bought a new one. I want to set up Time Machine on this one, but I also want to keep my active libraries on it. Do I need to partition the external hard drive?
You can partition the new drive, just don't make one of the partitons a TimeMachine drive, save a TM for a entire drive with more space than the boot drive as it saves "states" thus requires more room than most people expect.
I highly advise one drive to one drive for backups, and not placing too many backup eggs in one vulnerable hardware basket basically.
Drives are cheap, data is not. Hardware can fail just as often as software, so you need a multiple backup and storage stragedy to protect even against theft and fire.

What is "rb driver" and why do I need it?
Hello,
I am trying to implement Oracle Secure Backup Express on Windows 2003 x64. The server is HP DL380 G5 and the tape drive is HP Ultrium 448 (it is SCSI, not FC devce).
I disabled the "removable storage" service, installed OSB, configured the host as mediaserver/admin/client and configured the device. I can succesfully ping it (it is attached on \\.\Tape0). But when I try to mount a tape i get the folowing error:
"can't mount volume in lentata - operation requires rb driver"
I can't find a thing about "rb driver" at all. I think it is some legacy from the time of "Reliaty Backup". But how can I install/run rb driver?
The device is working pretty well with ntbackup, but I would like to use rman...AirPort Utility is required to configure an Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.

Routers: What Are Jumbo Frames and why do I need them?
Some routers' specs specifically mention that they handle jumbo frames (with a number like 9K). I have a network with 2 iphones, two ipads, 4 computers, two networked Blu-Ray players, and 3 computers, all of which are operating simultaneously a lot of the time.
Some other companies seem to be using the fact that they support jumbo frames as part of their selling points. How do they help?
I asked Cisco Chat support about the RVS4000 and whether it supported them on both the WAN and the LAN. They said not on the WAN. They also said "
It appears under the L2 Switch tab you can input a Max Frame type.....
I don't see anything that actually says jumbo frames but I believe you can put in a value.....
after the device is setup you can navigate to the L2 Switch option and it has a Max Frame value"
I'm not sure whether this router supports jumbo frames or not. I have a short list of wired gigabit routers that I'm considering for purchase and the RVS4000 is on the list.
I need to learn more about this topic so any help or pointers to stuff to read would be greatly appreciated.Thanks so much for the info. I read virtually all of it. The Jumbo Frames thing sounds very tricky - and possibly detrimental. I'll have to see if Time Warner Roadrunner supports them and at what sizes. Other than for really big file transfers between machines on my network (which I don't do that often) it sounds like jumbo frames isn't going to do much for me.
It also looks like the RVS4000 is not what I want. The smallnetbuilder review was a very useful one-although it's 4 yrs old, it's still likely mostly valid.
I do some gaming at times and it sounded like the adjusting of frame sizes until all the devices in the path are the same can cause unacceptable latency. Now it seems that no matter which gigabit router I choose, I need to be sure I get one where I can disable the major frames process, and maybe enable it when I want to do hard drive backups across the network. Welcome to the gigabit ethernet world I guess.
The RV220W sounds like a nice machine, but is a lot more machine than I think I need for my network. I read a very detailed review of it on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2BBGBR6ARRJQO/ref=cm_pdp_rev_more?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview#R2SCJUQOKY7EN
It also sounds like it's more complex to set up than I would like to tackle. I'm a retired electrical engineer but definitely not a skilled IT person, so plug and play simplicity is important. I understand just enough to get in trouble.
Thanks again for the links. Much appreciated. -
I recently bought a MacBook Pro. I had a windows 8 pc that had hardware issues that didn't deal with the harddrive. When I got the mbp, I installed the SSD from my windows 8 pc into the macbook. Before doing this, I made a time machine backup on my external hard drive. When I booted up the macbook pro with the windows 8 SSD in it, windows 8 started up. I tried formating the harddrive from within windows but it wouldn't work. From there, I put a spare windows 7 ultimate disk into the macbook and formatted the hard drive using that. Now, bootmgr is missing error keeps coming up and I can't put my time maching backup onto the macbook. Quick replies are appreciated, thanks!
You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size. -
I turned on my new iMac for the first time today and set it up using a backup on Time Machine from my old Macbook, which is running OS X 10.9.5 and has iPhoto version 8.1.2. When I went to open iPhoto on the new computer, it said I had to update the photos to work with the new version. Now, my photos from part of July 26, 2014 and onwards do not show up in the new iPhoto. The albums and spaces for the photos are there, but only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows in their place. Every other photo from 2003 to half of July 26, 2014 appears to have updated without issue. None of the fixes/rebuilds I tried worked. When I open up TimeMachine, it has no backups that I can use for the new computer (perhaps, because I wanted to still have access to use my old backups for my old laptop so told it not to use them for the new computer). My most recent half a year's photos are the ones I need the most. How do I make them appear on my new iMac?
Do you still have the old Mac? Then check, if the iPhoto Library has the newer events from July 26 onwards.
If yes, copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the new mac by connecting both computers. And then try to upgrade the copied library.
If you no longer have access to the old mac, you could try to inherit the backup of the old Mac and try to restore the iPhoto Library from it.

What are setup tables and why do you need to run it
Hello Gurus,
I know the steps for setting up the LO cockpit exactors.
My question is what are the parameters that you feed into the Setup table filling screen --- like the doc numbers, start date and end date.
Why do we have to run the setup tables?
If I give the start date for setup table run for SD as 08/24/06 and end time Nill and others parameters blank, then would the set up job run for ever. Is this how you set it up in production environment.
Does setup mean, bringing the data from application table to extraction structructure?
Regards
