No idea what's going on...
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't get time machine.
I just set it up today to work with a an external Lacie USB 2.0 drive, which I partitioned to have a 120GB partition for time machine (same size as my Macintosh HD) and another 180GB one for other stuff...
Now the thing is, time machine will start to do a backup, saying it has around 38GB to backup, but will stop after only a few hundred megabytes. Isn't the first backup time machine does supposed to back it all up? Mine is just doing a few hundred megs every hour on the scheduled times. This can't be right...
It also starts off very slowly, taking minutes to do a few hundred kbytes and then speeds up to a more normal speed...
I really think this app wasn't ready for prime time when it shipped.
Open Console in Applications > Utilities. Choose All Messages in the left pane of Console and type in "backupd" in the search window without the quotes to get the Time Machine log. Check to see if the log reports a 59G backup. If that is the case look for any prior errors, particularly any -8088 errors which seem to inspire Time Machine to regurgitate a nearly full, unnecessary backup.
If one or more -8088 errors have occurred you need to exclude those files from Time Machine backups or delete them. Go to System Preferences > Time Machine and drag the problem file(s) to the Options > Do not back up window or use the "+" to navigate through your folders to exclude.

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you
For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted.
I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists.
It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
Any idea what is going on?First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

I have an ibooks file that when I make a change to a page in one chapter it adds additional pages at the end of the chapter from another chapter. Any ideas what is going on and how I can fix this?
Text pages? from what you say you are getting the auto flow function to add pages either because you have flowing text or because you have a lot of blank lines as you would if you tap return to move blank space around.

I've installed Toast and photoshop elements recently, i also updated my apps the other day.
I have had this problem before the updates of the apps though -
Got my email saying my new episode was avaiable for download.
I clicked on it.
I got "unable to process your request. try later"
What's going on?The plot thicktens!
I was able to go to Purchased page, click on cloud and am downloading episode: that's good. I've had to do this in the past once or twice, too.
Here's what NOT to do: DON'T go to the iTunes page of the TV show you have a season pass for to download the episode from there. I think that's what I did several months ago for an episode of a different show I'd subscribed to. I found when I got to the page for the show there was no indication there that I had purchased the season. None of the "purchase" tabs on the right side of the screen said "Downloaded." Well, I really wanted the episode and didn't want to wait (can't remember if I'd tried my purchased page or not). Once I downloaded the episode ~ which I was charged for, even though I'd purchased a season pass ~ I ended up with two locations in my iTunes TV shows page. So, I have two thumbnails for the same show: one says "Season 4" and the other says "Season 2~4." I asked apple support about fixing it and they sent me a (for me) long, tedius list of instructions to follow which I never did.
Last night, my episode wasn't in my Purchased page (i.e. I couldn't download it from the cloud) so I went to the iTunes store page for the TV show. I have, contradictorily, been able to download from there, too, in the past, when my email link hasn't worked... even though, as advised above, sometimes it doesn't work. Last night, I got the same indication that iTunes had NO idea that I had purchased a season of the show. Under the large pic in the upper left corner of the page it still says "buy season pass" and none of the payment tabs on the right of each episode indicate that I've purchased any. However, I have 18 purchased episodes of the season in my library and I downloaded them by receiving an email from iTunes alerting me that a new episode was ready for download.
Downloading from the cloud is the way to do it, if you can. -
Ipad mini screen keeps moving around as though someone else is fiddling with it while I am using it. Any ideas what is goi g on?
Hi Deeveeay,
Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). When the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue has resolved itself.
Cheers,

Can't connect to Itunes store. Keep getting message code"11222". Done all the troubleshooting I can think of . Have researched my network settings and firewall settings. Have followed all the diagnostic routines. Been on the fone w/ HELP , no success. This code appears to apply to windows . but I can't get past this code. Anyone out there got a clue as to what is going on here ? thanks

Any Idea What Is Going on Here?
I have a MovieClip object in my library that contains a
rectangle with rounded corners and a graduated fill.
I open the symbol from my library and delete the rounded
rectangle shape.
I draw a new shape (without rounded corners) and select SAVE
from the FILE menu.
I have even tried selecting SAVE AS and giving the clip a new
name in a different location.
I press CTRL-SHIFT ENTER (which I use as default to run the
debugger) and the original shape reappears.
I have tried a dozen things and I still get the same
response. What could be going on? I checked to make sure that CTRL
SHIFT ENTER was mapped correctly and I have deleted ASO files. No
luck.
Any ideas?
Also, does anyone have any idea if there will be an extension
that manages the panels in CS3. I HATE the way the panels work now.
Inevitably I end up with a 30px by 30 px window to debug and panels
everywhere. It's absurd! I want the old panel methods back--or
better yet: Adobe, just work it out. Before you do anything else
with the IDE, please fix the panels and how they work.Okay, so I may be an idiot. I had somehow check the UPDATE
BEFORE PUBLISHING option in the properties panel of the MovieClip.
So, it was doing just what it was supposed to do. LOL
I still hate the panels, though.

"Super Duper" Confusion! Any Ideas What's going on w/ this??
OK, i had a Titanium HD go bad so, using SuperDuper, i managed to create a
sparse disk image of it before swapping in a new HD. I am now attempting to
use Restore/Disk Utility, making the disk image my source and the new HD the
"destination." Seemed simple enough. I am using Target Firewire mode to tie
the TI-book to the MacBook upon which I'm running the Disk Utility app.
I was able to drag disk image and disk into their respective locations for the copy of the disk image to the new HD. Once done, I dragged the new HD icon to trash,
got out of target-firewire mode and restarted the Ti-Book. I got nothing but the spinning gear screen for over a half-hour and thus, it seems i'm not doing something right. As of right now I'm attempting to do it all again after running disk utility repair permissions/disk on both the host and target disks...
Any ideas on why the restored disk will not boot and hangs indefinitely (no sign in screen is ever reached). Clicking on the target-disk icon it does show everything copied over okay but i can't get startup on the Ti-Book....
Baffled,
MikeHi MIKEinMICH,
Not trying to nitpick here, but your post is difficult to figure out. You wrote:
I was able to drag disk image and disk into their respective locations for the copy of the disk image to the new HD.
Did you mean, "I was able to drag the disk image and disk into their respective locations from the copy of the disk image to the new HD."?
If so, it sounds like you double clicked the disk image to open it, and then simply dragged and dropped everything from the open disk image window to the new hard drive. If that's what you did, that won't work. You'll end up with what you got, a non bootable drive. OS X drives need to be restored properly to work.
What you need to do is use SuperDuper! to restore the disk image to the new drive. Mount the disk image and then choose it as your source drive in SuperDuper!. Then your new drive of course as the target disk. -
I have a problem with my MBP.
One day something weird started happening. Every time I would copy / save / download something on my desktop it got deleted automatically after a few seconds. On very very rare occasions this would not happen.
This has been going on for 3 months now and I haven't found any sollution. The last option is to format and reinstall Lion but I hope there is a faster/better solution than that.
I have a 2011 15-inch MBP with the up-to-date Mac OS X Lion.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/com\.apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, steps 1-4 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.
