Restore network backup through usb?
I have made all my time machine backups to a hard drive hooked up an airport extreme. I am now trying to perform a full system restore from this backup, but it is going really slowly. Can I restore the backup from usb?

Have you tried connecting via Ethernet? That should be considerably faster.

Palm network connection through USB cradle
Is there any possibility to set up a network connection with the MIDP for Palm (i have an m500) through the cradle?
I more or less just need a byte stream in and out and somehow am lost on the way. Could somebody please hint at what needs to be done on side of the client/server?
thanks[RWuensch],
Yes, you may set up a PPP network connection between your Palm OS device and the PC through the cradle for HTTP network connection, see this URL for one method of setting up the PPP connection:
Mocha W32 PPP for Win32
http://www.mochasoft.dk/palm.html#palmppp
Once the TCP/IP connection is established between the Palm and the PC, a MIDlet can then make HttpConnection connections to the network and the Internet.

Want to move TM backup from USB drive to network drive
[I tried searching and didn't see anything specific to my question.]
I have a Mac Mini backup up to an external USB hard drive and it has a history going back 7 months. It backs up to a folder Backups.backupdb. This folder resides w/ the rest of my folders on this USB HDD, it is not on it's own partition.
Now I want to 'move' this backup and history to a network drive (not a Time Capsule). I've seen methods to use Disk Utility to restore it to new drive or use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I'm familiar w/ all 3 programs btw.) However, all those methods require mounting a HDD (or partition). I can't seem to figure how to use that method to mount the backups.backupdb.
Any ideas?Anything you found would have said you can't do that.
When TM does network backups, it puts them in a sparse bundle, not the "normal" folder named Backups.backupdb. You cannot continue network backups in the same "sequence." Even if TM works to your network drive (which is not officially supported), it will start a whole new set of backups in a sparse bundle.
And you can't copy the Backups.backupdb folder with the Leopard Finder anyway. See #18 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum. -
I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?
You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture. Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup. How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can Wired Printers Print Over A Wireless Network Through USB Connection to the Router
I have been told by supposed experts that I can use older wired printers wirelessly through USB connections on a router and I have been told by other supposed experts that it does not work. This is what I have and what I am trying to do:
In my new home I have limited space and I dedicated an unneeded closet to office and computer stuff. I rebuilt the closet with shelves and drawers and I added power outlets and phone and coax jacks. I use a wireless HP Pavilion laptop (about a year old) running Vista anywhere in the house. The computer closet has an HP C309 wireless printer, an HP D4260 wired printer, and an Epson Photo R280 printer. I can't get cable or FIOS right now, so I am running the internet on DSL at 3.0MB. That signal goes into a router supplied by Verizon and I jump it over to a Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB.
There is no particular reason to have the Netgear router in the lineup except that that two networking "experts" (their term -- I have no frame of reference to judge them) said I could connect the HP D4260 and the Epson printer via USB cables to the Netgear router and then send documents to them over the wireless network. When I have these two older printers connected to the Netgear router, the network does "see" them and shows them as network printers. However, no documents ever arrive at them.
As an author, I print thousands of pages a year in draft mode for review and I would prefer to use the HP D4260 as it is far cheaper to operate and it prints far faster and quieter than the HP C309. Connecting it directly to the laptop is not convenient as it is nowhere near where I use the laptop.
Is there anyway to get at least the HP D4260, and preferably also the Epson R280, to print wirelessly via the network by connecting them to the USB port on the Netgear router? If not, I will have to buy a cheap, fast wireless printer, something I really don't want to do.
Thanks.You did not give the model number of your Netgear, but I am sure that some Netgear routers with USB support USB hard drives and printers, where some models only support USB hard drives.
Either provide your model number or look at your documentation to see if your router actually supports printing.
Also, since you essentially have two routers in your home, make sure that ALL devices (printers and computers) are connected to the Netgear router, not to your DSL router.

Oracle Online Backup through EMC Networker - RMAN Script
Hi,
For taking online oracle backup through EMC Networker, we configure the RMAN script to connect to the target database, create the media channels, backup format etc. The password for the sys or rman user entered in the RMAN script is in clear-text format.
Due to security reasons, I don't want the passwords to be entered in the RMAN script. Is there any option for configuring RMAN script without mentioning the username/password to connect to the target database ?
Thanks & Regards,
Shreejesh.When you have to connect remotely to RMAN, you cannot hide the password, you can only define very restricted access for the script itself. Remote OS authentication will not work, because the target db user needs SYSDBA privilege, which cannot be granted to an externally identified user.

‘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.
Cheers, Tom -

- If not succesfull time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
The title tells you my predicament. I can't put music and such on until I get past this screen in iTunes.
If iTunes is on the computer is giving you the option to 'Restore from backup' or 'Set up as new phone' then select 'Set up as new'
Basically, it's you telling iTunes that this is the first time this device has connected. You won't lose anything, and you'll then be able to sync. -
My iPad2 won't restore from backup
HELP!
I have just updated my iPad2 for the first time to the latest update. I bought it in Dec 2011 and it is now May 2014.
I pressed 'Restore from Backup' but it just continues to keep on going through the same process continuously. I can quickly see all the updated info on my screen momentarily but then that screen disappears and it goes back to screen that asks for
'Language'
'Country'
'Choose a Wifi Network' and then
it automatically goes to 'Set Up iPad'
from here, I have chosen 'Restore from iTunes Backup', and also have the USB cable connected to the iPad
It then comes up with "Connect to iTunes" which I have now done for the 5th time
I then go back to 'File', 'Devices', 'Restore from Back Up'
I know that all the info has been backed up and is on my computer and I can also see it on my computer.
Frustratingly, I have only twice seen the screen momentarily where it has the updated versions of apps, etc on the screen but when I try to click into anything, it goes straight back to the whole process of restoring from back up again.
I have rebooted my iPad2 a few times in between as well, thinking that was the problem.
Please help.I have just redone the whole process again as
Set Up as new iPad
I was worried that I would lose everything but it seems to have some stuff on there. Not quite sure what is missing but I am happy that I can at least use it.
Thanks anyway -
This iPad had iOS 4.3.3 and I wanted to update it to the most recent software, 7.1. The first thing I did was I backed it up to my computer so I would be able to restore all of the photos and data after I had updated. At first, I tryed just clicking Update. It kept failing with error 9006. Then, I tryed the Restore and Update. This timed out even though it seemed to be moving alone just fine. The last thing I tried was to wipe the iPad and then update it. This worked. When it came up on my computer, it asked if I wanted to restore from a backup. I said yes and selected the backup that I made. It said Restoring. Afterwards, it took me through the normal process that you would go through to set up a new iPad. at the end of the setup, it asked if I would like to set it up as a new iPad, or restore from a backup. ???????? I tried to restore from backup and it started and endless loop of restoring and setting up, and restoring again. I eventually selected to set up as a new iPad. I cannot firgure out how to get the pictures back onto the iPad from the backup if the restore won't work. I was wondering if it is possible to find the picture files on my computer??? Does anybody have any suggestions or ran into the same problem???

It used to work fine, but now when you plug in to the USB, it properly identifies the head unit in settings>General>About, and the JVC unit displays album art, track info and scrolls through music fine, but no sound comes through the speakers. I've tried to reset all settings on the iPod, I've tried the reset on the head unit, even disconnected the vehicle battery and nothing changes. I can also add that my sisters iPhone 4S on IOS 6.0.1 also performs the same when connected. I've tried my Touch in the USB port of my 2010 Chevy truck and that works fine. oh, and an MP3 player worked proper with the JVC USB port.
- Try resetting the car system if you can.
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod. -
How to restore a backup from TM to a ssd?
Hello folk,
I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
Is it possible? I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money
In case it's possible, how can I do that?
Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?
Thanks in advance,
DanieleThis additional backup you mentioned could be saved, for example, on a external USB storage?
Moreover, in the article you linked, at the "Restore an entire system" section, it's written that I would need to use the Recovery mode.
So, in order to answer my last question ("Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?"), I'd definitely say that I do need to have already installed any MacOS version on the new SSD so as to restore the entire system, right?
