Looking for ako "Layer restore brush"...

Hi,
I know that this function exists in Photoshop, although I haven't used it for a long time, but now I should and don't know how to manage it:
I want to use a brush on a layer which copies pixels from the layer underneath.
Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks for any hints,
Thomas

That's what I was looking for! Thanks, Mtstuner! I was not aware that the
clone stamp works from different layers
Have a great day,
Thomas

One way is to add a layer mask to the layer above the layer you want get the
pixels from and paint on the layer mask with a black brush to reveal the layer

Another way is to use the clone stamp tool and set current layer in the tool
options
bar and sample from one layer, then switch to the other layer and paint with
the

HT1339 I was looking for info on restoring an iPod Touch 4th Gen. But iTunes presents the same Restore button, which when pressed, offers to update, not restore, to iOS 6.0.1. Why?

I found this article when searching for info on restoring (to factory conditions) an iPod Touch 4th Generation. Now I thought this shipped with iOS 5.x (x unknown). But as mentioned too briefly in the header, when I click 'Restore' in iTunes, it offers not to restore, but to update. That is not what I want. I need to use this iPod Touch with Xcode 4.2 under Snow Leopard.
So the question is: what is really going on here and why? Is it really true that 4th G iPod Touches ship with 6.0.1 instead of 5.x? If not, how can I get it to really go back to the original? Why is iTunes failing to offer a restore when I press 'Restore'? If I guessed wrong about which of my several machines running iTunes (some under Windows7, one under Snow Leopard)I used when I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1, would that explain iTune's failure to offer a true Restore?

Restore will not replace an old iOS level. It will update the iOS level to the latest level. If you have to restore youre iPod that is what will happen. The iOS is not a part of a backup.

Looking for help to restore missing game on my nano 5G.

I recently had to format my PC hard drive. It is now restored, but I have a little problem. I purchased a tetris game in 2007 from the itunes store. It still shows in my apple purchase history. But It does not sync to my Nano 5g. I purchased a game in Oct 09, and it synched just fine.
Can you give me help on how to download this tetris game again, so that I can sync it to my nano. thanks

Looking for alternative to restore bkf on recovery console

Did a backup (sytem files +registry) on xp utility & used it with success before my OS crashed. Now that it's crashed & inaccessible thru safe mode, I'm unable to restore my uncorrupted bkf on my recovery console cd . I can display the file with «dir» , but not getting the appropriate code to activate the restore process using the command, «batch dos_restore.cmd». I get the message that no file can be found. If the situation is a dead end (reinstallation option), is there a freeware (searched internet; no luck) like Stellar Phoenix bfk recovery that I may have missed ?

Looking for article "Backup::Restore"

I am getting ready to start a backup system and trying to decide between the cloning style using SuperDuper or the archival system using Retrospect. Both have merits, if I don't catch an issue right away, SuperDuper will transfer it to my backup (making the backup useless) while Retrospect won't give me a bootable backup making disaster recover more of a challenge.
In searching the forum I found a couple of references to an article by a user named Lee Cullins, but his .Mac account where he posted it is no longer active. Does anyone have the article? I would like to read it.
Dual 2.66 Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have a 12 inch Powerbook

I make my living backing up several TB worth of data each night. I can't help you with locating that article you want, but I can give you a couple of suggestions.
First off though, what is your budget and how catostrophic would lost data be to you? The more important your data is, the more rigorous you will need to be with setting up a backup and disaster recovery policy.
Backup and disaster recovery is all about mitigating risk, so its different for each person or organization.
What I do with my PowerMac G5 at home is to have a second internal disk drive. The first drive is my primary boot drive. The second drive is a duplicate of the first. I only update the second drive after each OS upgrade, and only after testing the upgrade for a few days, at which time I will clone it again.
I use Superduper for that purpose. I also have all my data sitting on an external Sygate firewire disk drive. If I lose both internal drives, all I need to do is connect my external disk drive to a different Mac if I need my data quickly. My data disk does not change that much in a typical day. What I do is simply clone my data disk (with SuperDuper) once a month to a second external disk drive. I then take my secondary external disk drive and store it outside my home for safe keeping.
For my PowerMac G5 at work, I have a second internal drive for both data and the OS. I do not use any external disk drives on my Mac at work, but I do automated backups to tape of my Mac at work to a huge tape library that's located several blocks away from my office.
On my MacBook Pro, I simply copy my files via my home Airport Extreme network to the external hard drive on my desktop Mac to back them up.
What you end up doing depends on your budget, your needs, and your tollerance for disk. If you are running a mission critical server, you need to get a lot more elaborate with your backup strategy then what I do with my Macs.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do I reset Mountain Lion to an earlier state? I'm looking for a PC-style restore point.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion about a week ago. Soon after, I noticed a problem with Zinio Reader (I could not view my magazines any longer). I found instructions on Zinio's Web site to remove the reader and Adobe Air, then re-download and install the reader. Things seemed to go smoothly for a short while, but then my MacBook slowed to a crawl. It takes about five minutes just to log into my machine. I'm getting a lot of the beach ball action. Every action—even resizing a window—has become an agonizing chore. So now I'm looking for a way to set my machine back to an earlier state—something like Windows restore points.

To answer your Carbonite vs Time Machine (you should probably ask this in a new thread .)
I prefer Time Machine because it backs my system preferences, user account (if you have more than one), apps, and files. It's also fast to restore. 4 hours max from reinstall of my osx (from Leopard to Lion) to Time Machine Restore.
Carbonite just back up your files.
I tried the free version of Carbonite once (5 gigs of storage), and didn't like it.
I also know people have a hard time restoring from Carbonite because it is so slow. You should probably test that out sometimes.
One last problem I have with Carbonite is that if you delete a file on your mac, it will be deteled on the Carbonite within 7 day (something like that). With Time Machine, as long as the drive is big enough, the file will be there (until the drive is full, than the oldest Time Machine backup will be deleted).
The advantage of Carbonite is that the files are not in your house.

The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network. The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network. Otherwise, you have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

Trying to restore from time capsule to nes hard drive, keeps looking for disks ! Can you help

ccan't restore from time capsule to new hard drive, after changing to new HD, after calculating required space to restore it keeps looking for disks! Have have put original OS X install disk 1 in it won't Eject , any help

The very best way to do this is with ethernet to the existing router. Put the TC in bridge mode manually.
Then plug it in to existing router.. we recommend LAN router to WAN on the TC but even that is not 100% necessary.
If you want to link by wireless, to a non-apple router that is bad.. recommend strongly against it. Join a wireless network is super slow.
If you have a desktop Mac you can plug it directly into the Mac by ethernet.
But we need to know how the Mac is connected to internet.
I have given some info on one layout here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
If you end up relying on an old TC. And any of the models from Gen1-3.. and increasingly Gen4 have all reached EOL.. they can die suddenly and either take your files with them or be hard to recover. Also a TC is slow cf a USB external drive even, which is more reliable. Considering a 2TB is <$100 I would be careful using an old TC simply because you got it free.

Looking for a script to automate renaming layer objects, not the layer itself!

Hey there everyone,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to create/have a script for an automated renaming of several named layer objects in Indesign (CS6).
The situation, I'm facing is a document for a templating process with at least 80 layers and sometimes some special elements on each layer. The naming of the layers is kind of repeating for each page that is used. The only difference is some prefix change in the layer name and/or the name of an element itself. My problem is, that I need to rename most of those layers AND elements in a same way and I'm looking for a script that asks me for the name of a layer or element (perfect would be just a part of the name to have multiple steps at once) and I have the chance to type in the desired value. It affects frames, graphical elements and text boxes.
If anyone has an idea, how to simplify this process I would be very glad to get some informations or advices.
Thanks in advance
Ralf

Here is a more descriptive version of the script above... :)

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

That's how Time Machine and iPhoto now work. Restore the library to one of the external HDs, check it for the photos you want, export them to the boot drive and delete the restored library.
If you know the file name of the photo you're looking for you can search for them in the TM backup using Find Any File.
My workflow allows me to do that:
1 - upload new photos to a folder on the Desktop.
2 - name the folder to represent the contents and date: 01/03/10-Toads Bday
3 - use a file renaming app to sequentially rename the photos in the folder to: 2010-01-03-Toads Bday-001.JPG, -002,JPG, -003.JPG, etc.
4 - import the folder into iPhoto creating an Event with the same title as the folder.
Now I can search for those file by file name with any app of my choosing.

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Made a restore to a new mini but iTunes music is there but it won't play. States "look for files"???

Made a restore to a new Mac mini and iTunes music is there but won't play. It states "can't find file. Look for it???"

I have heard of some people having a similar problem, which was resolved by a simple restart of their iPhone. If that doesn't help you, you may want to consider de-authorizingyour computer in iTunes, then re-authorizing it and performing a sync to your iPhone again.

Looking for free vector brush strokes (not brushes)

Hi,
I'm looking for free vector brush strokes. Not brushes, but actual pre-drawn brush strokes, in vector format (looks something like this).
The first few pages of Google results yield pay websites, and I just didn't have the patience to keep hunting for the free ones. Can someone help me cut to the chase?
Thanks!

If those are vector shapes, they'd need a million points each!
This claims to be a Shape though, and they pretty rough round the edges.

Trying to use Migration Assistant to restore from Time Machine backup but it keeps "Looking for other computers..."

Hi!
I just bought a new MacBook Pro 15" and I wanted to transfer my old files from a previous Time Machine backup done with my old MacBook Pro 15".
Both computers have Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) installed.
I always used Migration Assistant without any problem to accomplish this task, but now I don't know why it's stuck on a screen displaying "Looking for other computers...". What? What computer? I'm trying to restore from a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive, so I don't understand what computer it is looking for.
Do you have any idea to solve the problem?
Thanks!

At the screen in Migration Assistant titled "Select a Migration Method," select From a Time Machine backup or other disk.
