Partition Ext.l HD already in use to create separate partition for backup

I have a 500 GB firewire external drive which has about 80 GBs of photos on it connected to a laptop. I want to make a 100 GB partition to use as a backup for my startup drive. Can I make this partition without reformatting entire HD? or Should I copy the 80 GBs to a 250 GB USB HD and then reformat & partition the 500 GB and then can I recopy the 80 GBs of photos back to the firewire drive without losing anything? When I have a partition for a backup Will Superduper make continuous backups once the startup drive has been cloned or would Carbon copy cloner be better?

Can I make this partition without reformatting entire HD?
If the drive is in the GUID partition table format, the Disk Utility can repartition the drive without erasing its content.

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc. But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

Can 10G express be used to create an application for use with a 10G instanc

Hi
Can 10G express be used to create an application for use with a 10G instance? I am new to Oracle 10G. I like the interface for creating applications, maintaining users, etc. Can this tool be pointed at a regular instance of 10G so that applications can be created against a regular 10G database not the express database?
Can PL/SQL proceedures that are created in 10G express also be migrated to a 10G database?
Thanks in advance

SRM7.0, ext.classic - Which function is used to create PO in SRM?

Hello,
does someone of you know, which function will be used to create a PO in SRM out of a SC in an extended classic scenario?
How can the creation of the SRM PO be debugged?
Kind regards,
Thomas

Hello,
Local PO creation occurs in BBP_PD_PO_CREATE. However, this process occurs in background and if you set an external breakpoint while ordering the cart, it won't stop.
You can create a cart in held status, take its header GUID, set a BP at BBP_PD_PO_CREATE and execute BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER to transfer the cart, providing the header cart GUID.

HEADS UP! If your using AE and Air Disk for Backups

Guys
Quick background, Air Port Extreme, 1 TB WD drive in a Newer Technology Quad interface case. Airport in 5GHz mode wide channel.
I have been diligently testing my Airport Extreme and the 1TB disk connected as an AirDisk for TM backups for over 1 week now. I've hammered this thing making backups time after time, in an effort to move as much data through it as possible.
I thought it was all working fine but, there seems to be a serious issue with this configuration. I can see why Apple's official statement is it's not supported.
*Eventually, you WILL get data corruption, sooner or later you will.*
It seems that the larger your sparse backup becomes the more likely you are to get data corruption. I purposely made my sparse image grow in my testing to see what the results were. The results in fact show that there is indeed data corruption occurring. At first I thought it was related to the distance the machine was from the AE, thinking it was signal strength related, but that turned out not to be the case. I had the machine right next to the AE and still saw the problem.
If you want to test your set up and see if your getting corruption, unplug your AirDisk from the AE and connect it via USB directly to your machine, call up Disk Utility and tell it to repair the disk --- I'm sure your going to be surprised just as I was.
Now here is the thing, once you repair your AirDisk, leave it connected via USB and turn TM back on. It will use it directly attached and use the existing sparse image file for the backup. And you'll never see corruption.
Hopefully, Apple will fined the problem and fix it. I plan to do more testing and see if I can determine what is happening, but thats why Apple as test engineering.

Why not just let TM back up both disks?
As long as the disk with "your work" is formatted with one of the variations of +Mac OS Extended,+ all you have to do is make sure it's not listed in the +Do not back up+ box in TM Preferences > Options. Just be sure it's big enough: see #1 i the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
But if you decide to do it separately, then yes, as Chris says, it's much better to partition the backup disk so TM has it's own, exclusive space. See #3 in the FAQ Tip.

How to setup the WRT350N to use a USB NTFS Drive for backup storage?

My network consists of a WRT350N Router/AP/NAS (with a 500GB NTFS formatted USB drive), a Windows Vista Ultimate Desktop (wired connection), a Windows Pro SP2 Desktop (wired connection) and a Windows Pro SP2 Laptop (wireless connection).
Does anyone know what settings to use for the WRT350N and how to setup each of the computers to allow me to use the WRT350N for Backup file Storage?
For example: Can I/should I enable and use the ftp server functions? Can I just use the guest user account for all logins; etc.? Do I have to reformat the USB Drive to FAT32?
Any help would be appreciated!

Here is the clue to your question.
1.If you have formatted your Disk with the help of your computer it will be better if you reformat it with the "Erase" button
available on the Storage Tab of the Linksys
router's Setup page.
2.After that You need to make sure that you have
public IP address as your WAN IP on the status of the router to setup a FTP server.
3.You can use guest account for all your users but
please make sure that you select guest as group
while creating user.

What tool can i use to create an animation for iPad

What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.
Thanks,

I've been playing with both Edge and Hype, and I found that stuff I create in Hype actually works in IE 8, but stuff I create in Edge does not. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than perhaps Hype automatically writes some legacy scripts so that things will work in IE. Hype's not perfect, but it's doing the job for what I needed it to do, where Edge was no help at all (working in IE I mean).
I think Edge is a much better tool - more robust, greater feature set, but Hype seems a bit more forgiving and seems to play nicer with crappy browsers like IE.

Migration 50 Laptop using MS MDT and USMT for BACKUP and DATArecovery

Dears all,
I currently manage a migration project for 50 Laptop via Microsoft MDT2010 and I use USMT for BACKUP and data recovery.
Obviously users have an Iphone and Itunes 10.x.
I would like to know what are the directories under Win XP I need to setup in order to backup the complete IPhone and what are the destination directories to inject them back into Win7 x86.
Keep me posted please .

What software did they use to create the tutorials for creating a podcast?

I just downloaded the 8 tutorials that are posted on iTunes on how to create a podcast. What I am really looking for is what program they might have used to create those tutorials. The screen capture has some very nice features, like highlighting certain areas, dimming the background, voice and video capture, zooming into certain areas. I don't think it is Snapz but I could be corrected.

Hey thanks for answering.
The tutorials show how to use Garageband and are really quite nice. What I am after though is the software they might have used to create those tutorials.
Go to iTunes > music store > podcasts and type in "learn to podcast" it will be the top choice. And look at one of them, very nice creen capture functionalities.
Thanks, Frank

Using an external hard drive for backup

I admit to knowing nothing about this so I need someone's advice. The wiring for the backlight in my iBook fried 2 nights ago and I have to send it back to Apple..very expensive problem add to the fact that I did not extend my apple care OUCH!! Anyway I had to buy an external hard drive to back it up in case they have to reinstall software..well that was a precautionary they suggested. Can I use my new 300 gig HD to back up both my laptop, desk top and iBook on the same drive or do I need to partition the hard drive to do this. I have close to 2500 photo's in iPhoto and about the same in iTunes. So I could use some expert opinions. I do have most already on CD's but I am hoping to solve back ups for all 3 computers on this.
Thanks.
Wendy

Hello again Wendy.
For your 'for now issue' I would go down the route of starting your iBook in target mode, as described above, plug both it and your external drive (you will need to format this first - go for zero all data as this maps out any bad sectors) into your other Mac. The iBook and the hard drive should mount on the desktop. All you have to do is open a finder window and drag you files from the iBook to the external. If your files are all organised in you home folder you can just move that over and all the contents will be backed up.
In terms of using the drive to backup everything I would post a more complete question in the relevant part of the forum when you have worked out what you want to do (Dr Smokes book holds very good advice on thourough approaches). A word of caution though, most people who bother to backup never rely on just one location/medium. For instance, in the cast of the photo's of my son/family (which are once-only memories) I have them on a seprate drive on my G4, backed up to an external drive every time I add more photos and every few months (depending on how snap happy I've been) I back up the whole lot to a DVD. Some I know go a stage further and store a copy of the DVD/CD with relatives or freinds just in case. It all come down to your level of paranoia or how much you will miss your data (do you really want to have to re-write all those power point/worksheets etc.) if your house burns down or, more likely, if the external drive and your computers are fried at the same time!
Hope this helps (even if it is a bit of a essay).

Upgrading my intel iMac to internal SSD and running 1TB external drive from firewire 800 for mass storage while still using a second external drive for backups...my goal-speed with a SSD, to still have 1TB of room for everything i have now..possible?

I seem to kill HD's every two years...the last two i've installed were WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm 3.5" drives. The speed gains over stock drives have been remarkable. I don't blame the drives for the failures, my machines are up and running 16 hours a day, every day, year round. They die from 'mileage' so to speak...i assume...there's no viral acvtivity or questionable downloads to gunk things up...just lots of work.
I have my third new drive ready to install in my intel based iMac...but i've had a thought...I want to install a SSD in my iMac for the speed gain (and recent price drops)...for standard storage i want to use this new WD Caviar Black 1TB in an external drive bay and connect via firewire 800 for storing everything except the OS and my most commonly used software...am i crazy? will the firewire 800 external drive negate the speed gained with an internal SSD??
I have four iMacs in my office, and one at home. I buy second hand and install new drives and boost memory. I'm going to do this on my 'home' machine...if it works out well i want to upgrade the other three this way...but first i need to know if i'm just dreaming, or will it really make a difference? or even possible??
Thanks!

The SSD gives great bootup and Application launch speed. I think it also speeds up the video rendering a bit, I do all that on the SSD and then move the finished project to the external drives. As far as the speed for the external drives they are quick enough for viewing video and the file transfer rate is good. I had initially put the SSD into an external cradle (FW800) and the system was faster than on the internal drive. I only got a 1.5GBs SATA drive, perhaps yours could benefit from the 3GBs. I know the 6GBs would be too fast and costs a lot more, even the MacPros need special hookups to make use of the 6GBs.

Hi Eric
In standard SAP Business One this is difficult as the reports are 2 dimensional. To achieve this you will need to write multiple select statements into a temporary table and then select the final result from the temp table. Here is a sample for you to test:
USE [*DATABASE_NAME*]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[REPORT_NAME]    Script Date: 04/24/2009 13:17:21 ******/

GO
CREATE proc [dbo].[*REPORT_NAME*]
as
set nocount on
begin
DECLARE @Day_no varchar(2)
DECLARE @Month_no varchar(2)
DECLARE @Year_no varchar(4)
DECLARE @Start_Date Datetime
SET @Day_no = DAY(GetDate())

Go to Microsoft SQL Studio manager and select your company database. Then expand the list and select Programmability > Stored Procedures. Right click on Stored Procedures and select New Stored Procedure. Copy the above code over the code in the edit window and change the database name as well as report name. Then select Execute to create the stored procedure. If you make changes, remember to change the word CREATE to ALTER (with other words CREATE for the first execute, and ALTER thereafter). Then in SAP Business One create a new query and leave everything blank. Click on execute and select the pencil to change to edit mode. Remove the words SELECT and type in EXEC REPORT_NAME (change the REPORT_NAME to the name you used in SQL). Then execute again and the results will be displayed in SAP Business One.
Let me know if you get stuck. Remember the above is an example and will need to be changed to use your tables and fields as required. The basic idea is to move across by one column with each select statement. So for example the first select statement does the CURRENT column, the second one the 30DAYS column, and so on.
