Message says I'm not allowed to post?

I've been trying to post a question to the iPhoto community about backing up iPhoto, and when I try to submit the post I get the message "you are not allowed to create or update this content".  I've tried several times, logging out after each failure.  My time creating the post was only a couple of minutes -
I've posted lots of times over the last couple of years without any problems - ?  I'm logged in - wonder if this one will go - ?

Here's my suggestion for what it's worth. Purchase the shareware backup utility, Carbon Copy Cloner 4.0.2. If you are using Mavericks or earlier then download the 3.5.7 version. Version 4 is required if you are using Yosemite. You can use it to set up a scheduled backup of your selection of individual files or folders. The backup can be configured to run on a time schedule or only when you click the Run button or connect the backup drive. It will backup to any mounted drive including a network drive. It can be use together with Time Machine or without Time Machine. The latter is my preference.
CCC can backup 65 GBs of files in a couple of hours over USB 2.0. Given that an iPhoto Library is seen as a single file, any backup program will do a complete backup each time. This is one reason many users will exclude it from a backup when that backup is done hourly. This also a problem with Parallels, Virtual Box, and VM Fusion pseudo-disks. Fortunately, CCC can be configured to do different backups on different schedules.
If you don't require Windows compatibility any longer, then I would repartition and reformat the backup drive for OS X - partition using GUID instead of MBR; and, format Mac OS Extended, Journaled instead of MSDOS (FAT.)
I hope this answers your question. I don't know why you had a problem posting it before.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    If you're running Leopard, as your profile says, then you need to post your question in that forum, not the Snow Leopard forums. So if you're really running Snow Leopard, you need to update your profile to show that, as well as give more details about what kind of mail accounts you have, and who your email provider is.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • RFC Function Module - Message Reference parameters are not allowed with RFC

    Hi,
    I’ve checked the Remote-Enabled Module radio button, declared Import and Export parameters using ‘Type’ typing and checked the ‘Pass Value’ in export and import parameters but I still receive message ‘Reference parameters are not allowed with RFC’ and not able to activate the function module.
    Am I missing something?
    Regards,
    ...Naddy

    Hi all,
                   I faced the same problem and solved it ,
    You have defined a reference parameter for a remotely called
      function module. However, only value parameters are allowed
      for this type of module.
      Procedure
      Change the reference parameter to a value parameter.
    Guys  pls .don't leave the thread un-asnwered when you solved problem , post the solution it might be useful for others also.

  • System not allowing to post profit center

    HI
    I am doing manual FI posting. system not allowing to post to desired Profit center.
    every time it is taking Dummy profit center. even if i am changing to System throughing message
    (Dummy profit center set )
    i have not assigned the profit center to cost center. because i service ( created as cost center) are used in different profit center,
    i am doing only FI posting but system taking Dummi profitcenter..
    Regards
    Ds

    Hi,
    The concept of dummy profit center is to capture the costs of the transaction where the profit center is not assigned to
    any cost center.  Instead you can define a service profit center and assign in the service cost center so that all the cost are
    accumulated in the service cost center.  If other profit centers are assigned to respective cost centers excepting the
    service cost center, you can manually repost the cost through KB11N.  As a second option you have distribution
    cycle set for profit center for month end processing so that the service profit center will distribute the values to
    the respective receiver profit centers either with fixed amount or fixed percentage.
