Options for What TM Backs Up?

Hi everyone!
Are there options anywhere so that I can specify what Time Machine backs up? Or what specifically does it back up? I don't need a complete back up of my entire hard drive. Specifically, I'd just like to have a back up of my user and all the files/settings under it.
Thanks!

You can specify and you can have it just back up /Users.
Open TM from System Preferences >> Time Macine >> Options. Start with Machintosh HDD >> and exclude everything there, like connected disks. Then from the root level exclude, all folders except users.

Is Apple or any App Developer planning on improving ONE HANDED options for iPhone 6 Plus?

On my new iPhone 6+ even with the "reachability" double tap of the button where the top screen drops down, I still find the keyboard and icons to the far left so out of reach I MUST use two hands :-(.
I may have to return the phone as I MUST be able to truly use it with one hand in many of my situations. But if App developers or Apple are planning to make a apps or options to make the 6 Plus truly usable with one hand, I will keep it for sure.
Example idea: Allow MULTIPLE options for what happens when one "double taps the button." Keep Option 1 the way it is now (the top scrolls down). Make Option 2 like this: the entire screen simply scales down into bottom right corner so it appears to be the same size in hand as the iPhone 5 screen--the keyboard, icons, status icons, etc. ALL scale down so you use it with ease like the 5. Double tap again and it enlarges to the full screen.
Does anyone know if any developer can make an app that can take over the button or does Apple restrict that only to themselves in which case are their rumors that they know this is an issue and plan to solve it?
Mike :-)

You didn't check all this out before you bought it? Yes, you should return it.

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

Dear All,
I have three Task Flows:
1. TF1
     - Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
2. TF2
     - Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly. Generally any data
     is feed from TF1
3. TF3
     - Same as TF2Use Case:
All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
Question:
1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
Given the scenario above:
- shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
- contextual events?
What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
Please help.
Webcenter 11.1.1.6

Contextual events seem to be the best case.
This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ

Best option for backing up to tape

Hi all, at present we ,have a backup server running netvault, this connects to a san switch, which then connects through a tapedrive, the connection to the backup server is via the ethernet and I think this is how the traffic flows to backup other boxes to tape, is there any other solution to this, what is the best practice ?

Cisco has a solution known as NASB (Network Assisted Serverless Backup). I believe it is designed for a large back up operation, and requires the SSM (Storage Services Module).
Here is a link to a brief on the technology.

There might be other options, but this is only one I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps.

What is the Bluray Stream option for in Mpeg2 preset?

I just noticed by accident that in the mpeg2 preset quality tab when I clicked the SD DVD drop-down box that there is an option to create a bluray stream. Am I correct to assume therefore that it is possible to create a bluray mpeg2 file direct from a QT Ref exported from FCP timeline; but it would have to be authored in another package, e.g. toast, encore? Has anyone used this? What is the quality like? Is there an avchd option somewhere - I couldn't find one so I presume there isn't one.
TIA for anyone who can shed more light on this.

One draw back with Toast 10 is that it will re-encode the video no matter if you have NEVER re-encode set. A bug since version 9, for what I read. One good thing is that you can put the HD/Blu-ray onto a regular DVD using Toast. These bit rates are higher than what you are used to... 10,000-18,000 Mbps. You can use either Mpeg-2 or H.264. H.264 being you better bet to use, if you can. These video files are wrapped in a .m2ts container. (I think that's the right) Lastly, Toast encoding time is terribly slow (zzz), at least on my machine.
Google it and do some reading... And there are other forums that people have posted their experience/questions making these DVD's.

Recently downloaded FLAC app. and want to stream 96/24 to my stereo system. Whats best wireless and hard wired option for a 30 foot run?

Try these 3 possible solutions:
1. Restart iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
2. Close inactive Apps
Double-click the Home button; hold Apps down (in the Task Bar) for a second or two until you see the minus sign. Tap and close all inactive Apps.
3. Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

Where in gods name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but thats is. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC

Where in god’s name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but that's it. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC. On either PCs. Both are logged in and both are registered for homesharing. however because apple keeps updating and moving things around for no reason there appears to be no way of accessing the homsharing button in the latest version of itunes. the website refers to " Once set up, all the libraries from your computers you've enabled Home Sharing on will show up in the SHARED area of iTunes:" well I have searched all over in the recent itunes versions and there is no "shared area" to be found.
Please find the attachment of a screen cap of my itunes.
If anyone can help by telling me where it has been moved to or if it even still exists that would be much appreciated.

The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

Question
The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

I can't remember the password I used when I did a "backup to computer". Does this mean that my only option for backing up my iphone from now on is using the cloud? #I've tried any PW i can recall ever using, I must have gotten creative darn it.#

I did a backup decided to do a full backup with a password. I forgot the password I used (it was a couple of months ago and I must have gotten creative with it.) Without that password the option to back up to my computer is dead, right? My only option for backup will be the cloud. I want to be sure I understand the mess I am in. I have tried the passwords I have used before, I cannot believe I did this

I purchased a MBP 13.3/2.5/8GB/128GB FLASH from Apple store in Manhattan Beach,CA some months ago. It has only 128 GB storage.
I soon realized that I did a big mistake not upgrading the storage when purchasing. I thought I could upgrade later which is not possible I understand.
My Q:
What is the best and most practical/userer friendly option for additional storage say up to 1 TB ?

Hey leiv karsten,
As your macbook is retina,you can't upgrade it like previous generation macbook pro.You can purchase a portable 1TB external harddrive.
