OS X 10.5.3 update... Does Time Machine over network still work

Anyone updated to the new 10.5.3 and know if Time Machine still works over the network via AEBS?

I was hoping 10.5.3 would fix things for time machine/time capsule, I had issues with it hijacking my laptop and the network doing fsck_hfs. So I looked forward to fixes, had been doing only back up now, since having to reset everything. I tried it, it took an our to get past preparing, then had 15 meg out of 2 gig backing up, stuck there for hours. I finally killed it by dismounting the disk. When my disappointment reduces I may try a fresh start. I am sure they worked very had on it.

Advantages IMAP has over POP?

Hello everyone. I'm from the UK and have a Gmail account (not google mail, I had my account during beta) and I managed to enable IMAP by changing my language from English UK to English US. What advantages over POP do I have? I find it harder to delete emails. Especially spam as I have to delete from spam and then delete them again in the trash. Is there a better and faster way of doing this. Plus could my IPhone catch any viruses by accidently opening spam? I delete emails the fast was by swiping over them and I accidently open them but then I go out of the spam message as quickly as possible.

IMAP maintains the master copy of all messages on the server. You can either view and organize them online with a web client such as squirrelmail or gmail or sync your local clients to the server. The difference from POP3 is that the clients sync both ways with the server. So if you delete a message from one client it will be deleted from the server, and then from the other clients the next time they sync. Once synced there is a local copy on the client, so you can view it without a network connection. If you send a message or reply and you don't have a connection the client will wait for a connection to send. Similarly for deletes and moves.
One big advantage is that you can create folders on the server. The folder structure will also sync to the clients, so a folder added on one client will appear on the others. Moving an item from the inbox (or a folder) to another folder will be treated as a delete from inbox and add to the selected folder.
Given all of this, the iPhone client is not fully compliant. In particular, if you delete a message on the iPhone it will NOT be deleted from the server. It was in the first release, but I think this confused so many people (who thought they were just deleting a local copy) that they changed the behavior. You also cannot add or remove a folder on the iPhone. You must do it with a full client (like Outlook or Mac mail). Unlike a desktop client, the iPhone does not automatically update all folders on a sync; only Inbox, Sent and Trash. Other folders are updated only when you open them. I think this is intended as a feature; if I were to sync the 1 GB I have in all my folders it would take a week, so I am happy with it. I just wish the mail app had more options, so I could choose behaviors such as this.
Regarding your spam questions, there's no harm in leaving them in trash; there is a setting that will empty trash after a period of time you specify. Contrary to the FUD spread by antivirus companies you cannot "catch" a virus by opening an email. You must then execute something in the email to catch the virus, like click a link or run an attachment. And even then, there are NO viruses that can infect an iPhone at this time. The one vulnerability that the phone had has been fixed. Even it required opening a TIFF image in the email.
The last point about spam is that the overwhelming majority of spam messages are just trying to sell you something, not infect your computer.

G5 Power Supply Popped - Still works but fan speeds up/slows down nonstop!

Hi,
After applying a security update for Tiger 4.11 on my G5 1.6 a few hours later my machine made a bang/pop sound. It still powers up but once running it sounds like the machine is ramping up to speed and slowing down again. It does this continuously even when machine is running. Apple hardware test reports no problems but i'm concerned. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Dan

I had a similar problem (fans speeding up then slowing down). I have iStat installed so I was able to look at the rpm's of the fan (free widget btw). My CPU fans ranged from 2500 to 3200, oscilated all day long....up, down, up, down ...every few seconds. I noticed my CPU utilization was up, which was odd since my machine was somewhat idel. Looked at Activity monitor and saw my CPU's sometimes reached 90%. The application that was using the CPU's was the printmgr. Stopped the process and everything is ok. I know it is unrelated to the popping sound but you might ck the activity monitor to see what is going on.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent. my worry is will it give any prop in future or its just a cosmetic issue but in performance it wont give any problems. it happened an hr back & i am very upset for this misshandling.

I dropped a MBP and dented that same corner, though it wasn't one of the unibody MBPs:
It worked flawlessly for a month, then suddenly died. I put it to sleep one day, then 5 minutes later remembered something I had forgotten to do, opened it back up... and nothing. It never worked again. Repairs would have been well over $1,000, and would not have been covered by the warranty or by AppleCare (if I had bought it). I opted to just buy a new Mac instead.
Now, just because that happened to me does not mean that's what will happen to you. However, you do need to prepare yourself for that possibility.

I need to add text over a still photo in iMovie. Following directions that always worked before but not this time.

I am running OS 10.6.8, an upgrade that I did after Christmas. A couple of times a year, I need to make a video of my students' performances, and have always been able to add text over the still photos before, using the directions in iMovie "help." However, this time, I am not able to choose a title style; no amount of clicking makes anything show up on the selected still photo. And no amount of trying to choose the font style makes anything show up either.
This is iMovie 09; is it possible that it is not compatible with my OS upgrade?
I've been able to insert still photos into the video footage, but can't add any titles or acknowledgements. Thank you so much for your help! Since I only do this a couple of times a year, it always takes me forever to accomplish, which is why I printed off the Help directions to follow.

just to make thing clear (sorry for sounding impudent!)
you do .... :
create a New Project
make a selection of an Event and add it to the Project
select a title and drag it onto the clip?
iM does work with your OS ...

I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work.

I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work. Dragging the middle handles should resize the pop-over widget size either vertically or horizontally, but instead they resize the pop-over widget in all directions, as if I'd used the corner handles. I'm talking only about the widget image with the mountains on it, not its contents. I should be able to make a long, thin pop-over, for example. iMac running Mavericks.

My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

How do I disable those pesky "hover-over" pop ups? I tried the method of right clicking on them and opting out, but it doesn't work. If you guys could add some kind of blocker to your browser, it would be a huge plus!

I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. I think I had trouble with the Rule. I put a Rule in as follows: Data added in the last five hours? I added music (data) but nothing appeared in my Smart Playlist. Oh yes - I named the playlist: Recently Added.
What did I do wrong? Is it necessary to have a question mark at the end of the Rule? I couldn't find anything on how to create a Smart Playlist in Help. There is stuff in there, but it does not go into much detail, i.e., nothing on the proper wording of the Rule.

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

I spilled pop on my macbook pro, mostly on speakers and screen, however the macbook still works fine, should i contact them and ask what should i do or try to dry it off.....please help??

Hi , i spilled sprite on my macbook pro mostly onto speakers but however, i dried it off immideately and the macbook is working fine so far. Speakers still work normal but i am worried thatere might be some problems later on. Please suggest me some good ideas to furhter mae sure that the mac is fine?

I suggest that you take the MBP into an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation. There are liquid sensors inside and they should check if any have been activated. This may give you a clue as to what you may expect regarding future reliability.
Ciao.

I installed windows 8 using bootcamp, and realized that i put too little space. If i erase the windows partition and do it all over again, will the product key i used to activate windows 8 the first time still work? Or is there a way to expand it?

Will the product key i used still work again after reinstalling? Is there any SAFE way to expand the bootcamp partition size?

If you look in your other posting you will see that I already gave you the answer.

How to force a Mail account to use IMAP instead of POP?

I'm trying to setup a new mail account on my wife's iPhone 3G (4.2.1) and after putting in the in initial info (name, e-mail address, password), Mail picks up the POP server information (which is valid), but I don't want to use POP, I want to use IMAP. I know that the account supports IMAP as it's configured and working in Outlook. Changing the incoming server from pop.netcabo.pt to imap.netcabo.pt (which I know is the correct server) does nothing, it still functions as a POP server.
I know that in some cases a big IMAP/POP selection button appears at the top of the mail configuration screen but in this case it doesn't. There appears to be no way to force iPhone Mail to use IMAP.
The only way I know to get around this, which is a pain in the ***, is to configure the account as IMAP in OS X Mail and then sync the account to the iPhone, but I don't want to go there if I don't have to.

If your having problems getting your Apple Mail or Mac Mail to sync across your devices, I thought this might be helpful. It could be because you have your email accounts set up with POP rather than IMAP configuration. Try this solution.
I had set up my gmail account a long time ago (5 years) before I know the differnce between POP and IMAP. IMAP allows you to sync across devices... POP is OLD SCHOOL technology of the 90's. Now that I know better, and have more than one device I want to sync, so I want to change the settings in mac mail to convert the gmail emails from a POP account type to an IMAP accont type, but I cannot afford to loose all of my previous emails that I'd saved (100's of them), which is what will happend if you delete this account to start anew.
Odly, even after I set up the email as IMAP in gmail, it still did not update the account type in Apple Mail. Apparently this has to be done from scratch.
!.WARNING, BEFORE PROCEDING THROUGHT THE FOLLOWING, BACK UP YOUR MAC.!
What worked for me was actually rather simple, but to be safe BACK UP.
Note: It did dissassociate all of my "Signatures" but did not erase them from my email acconts (I have 14 email accounts with google apps). Your exprience could be different, so please ba safe and back up.
1) First I dissabled the existing email account in my Apple Mail program.
2) Then recreated the account from scratch as an IMAP.*
* Be sure to change the account to an IMAP in gmail first (Click the Gear on the right > Settings > Forwarding & POP IMAP > Disable POP then Enable IMAP
***Deactivating took the account out of view (hidden) but retained all of the saved emails from the past. At the same time it allowed me to recreate the account in Apple Mail from scratch and it auto pulled up the IMAP configuration, with the same gmail account I was using before set up as POP. ***
Now I'm left with the best of both worlds and all syncs perfectly.
Just don't forget and accidentally delete the inactive account, or you will lose ALL of the emails you saved during the time when the old POP email account was active.
Good Luck!
