Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.

Any thoughts?

How can I make a copy of the FAQs module or filter on language?

Hi,
is it possible to make a copy of the FAQs module? I need to have FAQs in different languages.
I can add event, photo, news ands media modules but not a new FAQs module.
I also found that you can add a category and display the FAQs with the filter: cr or individual filter. But where do I add the category name to filter on?

Solved!
Quick solution: the ID is used for the category name, so I need to do a time consuming process to find the id.
Result:
{module_faq,c,19227,,ajax,}
Great!

I need to make a copy of my SL installation DVD

I have SL installed in both my iMAC and my MacBook Pro. However, just for security's sake, I'd like to make a copy of the Snow Leopard installation DVD that Apple had sent me. I tried to do so using Disk Utility under SL, but when it came to actually copy the created image on a blank DVD, the system advised me that I didn't have enough space on my DVD. Are there readily available higher capacity DVD on the market that would fulfill this purpose (Higher than the traditional 4.7 GB ones? I think there are, having made a google search, but is there a specially recommended brand? I don't want a cheap one, since we are talking about an important DVD that may save me lots of trouble in a possible future problem.

To do so requires a dual-layer DVD-R. I would use a good brand such as Verbatim. Do the following:
Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

Great, first post, sorry for the title. But to repeat it:
I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
All of this you can do with FTP

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
Does it play in your Mac?
What brand of disks are you using?

Is it possible to make a slipstream using the recovery CD (SM30-154 WXP)?

Is it possible to make an slipstream using the product recovery (satelite pro SM30-154 and windows XP home) and die windows XP sp 3 update?
If so, how?

Hi
What you could do is to create a new image using a 3rd party application like Norton Ghost for example.
You could firstly install the Windows XP using the Toshiba recovery CD.
Then you could install the MS service pack 3 and then you could create the new image.
Such image could be stored on the new CD or as file on the second partition.
I did it too. Ive got two partitions on my HDD and have created a backup of C (system partition) using the Ghost. The file is stored on D (data partition) and if something will go wrong with my Windows I can restore it using this file.
Easy ;)

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to use the Wireless connection manager 5 and to make or receive a call?

Hi,

I even succeed to use the GPS that probably installed in the GSM/HSPA modem (wireless manager 5).
If anyone can explain how and if it possible to make a call please send your reply ... i wnat to use the laptop with BT instead of cell phone ....
Thanks

On Eseries device you can assign the Mailbox key to this MfE Inbox.
However, most Nseries devices do not have such a key.

Using AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk

Can I use AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copies of specific folders within the Time Capsule disk?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1281
I see this link that explains how you can make an archive of TC files directly to an external USB (greatly increasing the speed), but I would like to:
1) Chose only specific folders and
2) If possible, have it do this daily.
I am trying to avoid dragging files directly through my Mac. I want specific files (instead of entire drive) to go from the TC > External USB

The archive ability which is available in all versions of the airport utility except the early v6, where it was dropped for a time, is designed to do a full backup of the TC. It cannot do what you want.
It cannot incrementally backup. Each time you press archive it will do the whole disk.
you cannot select folders to be included or excluded. The airport utility is an extremely limited functionality tool.
I am trying to avoid dragging files directly through my Mac. I want specific files (instead of entire drive) to go from the TC > External USB
A TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. It has no controls like a real NAS would have, like backup with a auto controls and ability to deselect items or do incrementals.
So you have no choice whatsoever on a TC except for the files to be processed via the Mac.
Carbon Copy Cloner is one backup utility that can do the job. But it will be extremely slow if the material it is backing up has to be copied to the USB on the TC. Still if your changes are not great, it can be set to automatically do incremental backups on a daily basis.
It is much faster btw to have the USB plugged into the computer, so files do not have to be transferred back to the USB.. and this is x10 if you are using wireless.

How to make a copy of the IMAP Sent messages when the Sent folder file can not be found?

My Thunderbird works fine. I can also see messages sent in the Sent folder but I wonder are the sent messages only saved in the IMAP server. For the backup purposes I would like to copy the file of the Sent folder but I can not find a local file for it.
In /home/me/.thunderbird/44g5fxvp.default/ImapMail/mail.[mymail].fi I do have files
Archives-1.sbd
Archives.msf
Deleted Messages
Deleted Messages.msf
Drafts.msf
INBOX
INBOX.msf
inbox_old
inbox_old.msf
msgFilterRules.dat
Sent.msf
Templates.msf
Trash.msf
Trash.sbd
I.e.the Sent.msf esists but there is not file named Sent. Am I looking from a wrong place? Are my Thunderbird settings or preferences wrong? Is there something obvious I have missed?
What is the most convenient way to make a local copy of the Sent folder messages if Thunderbird does not make a local copy of it?
Information about my system:
Application Basics

re: the Sent.msf esists but there is not file named Sent
That is because they are not stored on your computer they are stored on the server. The Sent.msf file is just an indexing file and does not store emails.
re INBOX, INBOX.msf, inbox_old, inbox_old.msf
These subscribed folders have been synchronised to get a local copy onto your computer in your Thunderbird profile folder.
You need to do the same with the 'Sent folder.
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage
then go into 'offline' mode to stop further synchronising.
Then you can right click on selected emails and save as .eml files in a folder external to Thunderbird.
You can also copy or move emails into a suitable folder in Local Folders. These folders keep emails on your computer, they are not modified by the server, they do not synchronise with any IMAP mail account.

Unable to make a copy of the query

Hi All,
I want to make a copy of a bw query. When I try to save the query as a new query I get the following error: -
An unexpected 'assertion: failed to delete old query' error occured in wdbrlog.
It seems to have happened due to an SP upgrade.
Please provide your inputs on how to resolve this error.
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies.
RSZC is working. But the problem is user will not have access to this transaction, so user has to save as the query from the query designer itself.
It is while the user tries to save the query from query designer, the error messages are obtained in the following sequence.
- An unexpected 'assertion: failed to delete old query' error occured in wdbrlog.
- Run time error '-214722149 (80040005)
- Run time error -'429'
ActiveX component can't create object.
Then the system disconnects.
I want to resolve this error so that the user can work direclty using query designer.
Recently we had SP ugrade. The system details are: -
SAP_BASIS 640 0017
SAP_BW 350 0017
Note 1060109 didn't seem applicable.
Please let me know your inputs.
Thanks a lot.

I want to make a copy of the names and e-mails addresses in a particular 'category' of my contacts. How do I do it?

I want to make a hard copy of the names and e-mail addresses in a category of my CONTACTS. How do I go about this?

Firefox normally doesn't store information for your contacts, although you can have it save information you've filled out in forms...
Did you set up your contacts in a popular webmail site, such as Yahoo! mail, Hotmail / Windows Live Mail, or Gmail?
Or using an add-on?

Is it possible to make a change in the library that is called in a subvi? (in this case the GetCoefficients in the Levemberg-Marguardt curve fit)

Hi,
I need to make a change in the way the new coefficients are calculated. It's the "get new coefficients.vi" in the nonlinear levenberg marquardt algorithm.
A library is called, but the change must be made in that library. Is there any way to do this? I do understand C++ or similar language where the library might be programmed in, that's not the problem.
with kind regards
Hasse wiersma

No, we do not have access to the source code for that shared library, it ships as part of LabVIEW and only NI has the source code. You will need to re-write (either in LabVIEW or C++/DLL) all the code completely.

HT4061 actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly as the screen goes black ....i lost the bill..is it possible to get another copy of the bill......

actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly and i lost my bill as well i want to request to get a copy of bill pls.....

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you are having warranty issues with the phone, a copy of the bill is not necessary for Apple to check and evaluate the phone. If there is a manufacturer defect, they will deal with it.
What is "not working properly" on the phone. Maybe someone can help and it not be necessasry to be replaced.

Is it possible to get a copy of the installed software?

Ive got an X100e netbook and really love the thing! My hard drive crashed the other day and needs replaced. I am a certified IT professional so this is no problem. My question is am I able to get a copy of the files originally installed from Lenovo? I know Dell will do this once you verify the machine. Is this an option here or am I stuck buying a new OEM copy of Windows 7?

If you got warranty you can get a copy free if the hdd has crashed, if you don't have warranty you have to pay for the recovery media.
Otherwise just use the retail version Win 7 ISO and activate it using the serial number provided on your machine.

Jin Li
