Setting up Time Machine for first time

...tried to help friend with new iMac use Time Machine with her even newer external 500G Ultramax drive, as she was struggling with the bundled Retrospect Express (I struggled too!).
When I launched TM, a box asked me if I wanted to set up TM. Clicked OK, Adobe Reader launched, and then the error message 'there was an error opening this document. There was a Macintosh System error (-1409)."
So, I can't past this to set up TM. Anyone know what could be wrong?

Hi John, it sounds like there may still be an element of RE on either the target drive, the destination?
TM should not definitely be launching Acrobat Reader. I can't even find an error -1409 in the error codes. So something is whacked.
Try starting in "Safe Mode" and setting up TM again If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items.
It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Backing up macbook with time machine for first time

I tried backing up my macbook for the first time, using time machine, to a new portable external hard drive formatted for p.c. The screen said do you want to erase the disc and i did. It said nothing about formatting for mac, but began to appear to be backing up my computer, and was running for 3-4 hours doing that. I walked away from the computer and came back an hour or two later, and there was a message on the screen saying error, could not create directory. I don't know if this was related to the initial backup, or if an hour later it tried updating the backup and it referred to that. How do I know if my computer is backed up properly. What do I do about the message about the directory. If I don't need this program to update the backup every hour, how do I change that. Also, I have a 1 terrabyte external hard drive on which I store all my raw photography files, can I plug that in and plug in another new external hard drive and back up the external hard drive to the other external hard drive using time machine as well? thanks for any suggestions, this is a little confusing the first time, Virginia

The backup frequency can be changed using e.g. TimeMachineScheduler and I think you can set Time Machine to backup external drives. (System Preferences --> Time Machine --> Options)

Setting up Mail service for first time

I am setting up an internal mail server for the first time. Some questions:
1) What should my domain and host names be listed as in Mail settings?
2) It appears that the mail is set up by the server as [email protected] How do I get the email addresses such that they don't include the 'server' part?
3) I am using a Time Capsule (similar to AEBS) as a router. Which ports do I need to open to allow mail service?
Thanks!

This is based on my observation not any documentation, so take it for what it is worth. The information that you changed determines what mail the email system will accept and pass on. It passes it on based on the shortnames and nothing else.
The email address that is listed in the account information on Server Preferences determines what shows up as "suggested finishes" when a user starts typing an address in while they are in mail.
The email address that is listed in the users Mail setup info on their machine determines what is shown as a return address when they send mail out. It will show what is there even if the return address has no chance of working.
If you delete all of your users on the server and then reenter them, they will be in correctly on the Server Preferences window, but they are still going to have to be changed on the users machines. I've had some problems with the old setup not working on a user machine even after putting something back in exactly the way it was before, resulting in the need to totally remove the account on the users machines mail setup and reenter it. I really think the quick way, which won't be very quick if you have a lot of accounts is to go into both the Server Preferences and manually change the address there, and they either send the users instructions on how to change it on their machines or go to the machine and change/help them change it there.
There may be a quick way, but I haven't found it.

Trying to back up with time machine for first time. It keeps ejecting the disk a few minutes in. Any ideas?

I am using a WD My Passport to try and do a time machine backup for the first time, on my iMac desktop.
the first couopleo of times I did it, it was really slow and then crashed after a few mins. I started again as if it was a new external harddrive and some home it tarted a bit faster, getitng to aboyt 6GB of the 280GB within 10 mins and then crashed again. All I see is that it is no longer working and a message pops up saying 'Disk was not ejected properly', even though I havent touched it.
Am I doing soemthing wrong or have I got a dodgy external disk?

Lost photos when setting up on itunes for first time

My daughter today took some photos on on her brand new ipod touch 7. When she went to set up the ipod touch for the first time on itunes, the connecting cable accidently was pulled from the pc resulting in her photos vanishing from her ipod touch but not being recorded on the pc. All this on her 12th birthday! Is there a a way to recover the photos from her ipod which appear to be deleted as this is no trace of them. I really would appreciate your help please as she has lost all her birthday photos. Many thanks in advance of a solution. Thanks.

Setting Up AT&T for First Time

So this is probably obvious, but I want to rule stuff out.
I bought an AT&T-enabled iPad (4/Retina) in April, but had yet to try to connect to AT&T - I immediately went overseas, and have used it for WiFi exclusively.
I am in coastal Oregon right now, and decided to set it up. When I select "Cellular Data - On", the upper left corner reads "No Service". "View Account" eventually times out.
Does this mean it's simply not finding the AT&T satellites? Or is there something else I need to do to prep this thing to accept AT&T.
I'm on the latest iOs - whatever that is; others have used iPad 1s and minis at this exact location, using iOs 6 and AT&T and have had great connections.
Thanks,

Wow, if I'd known that I could have done this from the airport, instead of going the night "dark" and now driving back to a hotspot!
Thanks

Setting up wireless printing for first time

I have a 3-year old Airport Extreme base station (compatible with 802.11b). I currently use it with several Mac laptops and one PC desktop to access the internet. I am buying a new laser printer and would like to print wirelessly. Will any printer work, or do I need to get one that is network ready? Will a laser all-in-one work?

keenpeach, Welcome to the discussion area!
Will any printer work...
No but many do.
...or do I need to get one that is network ready?
Not if you connect it to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
Will a laser all-in-one work?
The USB port on the AEBS only supports printing... not scanning nor faxing.

Setting different top margin for first page

I have been trying to set a 5cm top margin for the first page of a thesis chapter and a 2.5 cm top margin for the rest of the pages to conform to requirements. I have set a section break and gone into Inspector to make first page different but I still get any margin changes on the first page through the whole document. I do what HELP says but it isn't working. Anyone help me out before I go troppo?

The easiest way to do this, especially if all the text ina particular chapter is in the same section, is to just set the 'before' value in the Layout Inspector. As text flows from one page to the next, it will conform to the global setting. If you insert a Section Break, the new section will start on a new page and the first line will be down the same amount as your initial chapter page. If you insert a layout break it will also be moved down that initial amount.
If you want to capture this behavior you can capture multiple pages to use as well. Some of the preset templates have multiple pages where the first page has different characteristics than the subsequent pages added when oyur text overflows from the first page.

Setting up two machines for core dump

Hi, I'm trying to set up two Macs to collect a Core Dump after a Kernel Panic.
A MacBook Pro 3,1 triggers a kernel panic when Mavericks is installed, and either Ethernet or WiFi connections are changed. No diagnostic reports get generated at /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.
I have been reading on how to set up a core dump over FireWire, since Ethernet seems to be compromised. I'm able to do a core dump by triggering a kernel panic with DTrace. The Development Machine receives and stores the core dump correctly. However if a kernel panic occurs when WiFi is switched off, the Core Dump does not take place, and I don't know if it should work as the DTrace trigger does.
I have System 10.9.1 on both Target and Development machines. The machines are each other connected with a FireWire 800 cable and a ThuderBolt adapter, since Development machine lacks the FireWire port (It's a MacBook Pro retina).
- Target machine is connected to my WiFi network and is also connected to the Ethernet network. The FireWire 800 port is manually set to IP 10.0.1.127
- Development machine is connected to my WiFi network. The FireWire 800 cable coming from the Target machine connects to a ThunderBolt adapter and the port is manually set to IP 10.0.1.128
- On the Target machine (MacBook Pro 3,1) I've set
sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd46 _panicd_ip=10.0.1.128 kdp_match_name = firewire"
- On the Development machine (MacBook Pro retina)
sudo mkdir /PanicDumps
sudo chown root:wheel /PanicDumps
sudo chmod 1777 /PanicDumps
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.kdumpd.plist
- verified that the core dump server is working with
sudo launchctl list | grep kdump
- after connecting the FireWire cable to the Macs
run fwkdp
- and machine responds with:
FireWire KDP Tool (v1.6)
KDP Proxy and CoreDump-Receive dual mode active.
Use 'localhost' as the KDP target in gdb.
Ready.
As mentioned above, triggering a Core Dump with DTrace works just fine.
Turning WiFi Off causes a Kernel Panic, Target machine freezes immediatedly and nothing happens on Development machine.
Forcing power off on Target machine and restarting shows no logs on Console.
I've read very little on GDB and it seems hard to find information, at least on what I'm doing. I'm not trying to debug a kernel extension.
nvram -p dumps mostly jibberish on the terminal screen
I'm tempted on setting up the core dump with Ethernet, but hesitate since WiFi and Ethernet seem to block the system abruptly.
Can someone illuminate me please?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Guido

Thank you Ian, however, when I click this option, my library looses all of its preferences/user presets?? I am confused
They aren't lost, instead they have been left outside the catalog because they preceded the change.
You can drag the contents of your Lightroom presets folder into the Lightroom Settings folder within Lightroom catalog folder and the application will then see them after relaunch. This is by far the quickest and easiest way of copying existing presets to the central catalog. Follow these steps:
Step 1 - Open you original catalog
Step 2 - Open Lightroom Preferences and choose the Presets tab
Step 3 - Make sure that Store presets with catalog is unchecked
Step 4 - Hit the Show Lightroom Presets Folder... button.
The presets folder will see multiple sub-folders which contain your existing
Step 5 - Open the folder with the moved catalog (i.e. the version you put on the external disk)
Step 6 - Open the folder named Lightroom Settings
Step 7 - Delete it's contents
Step 8 - Drag the contents of the folder you opened in step 4 in to the Lightroom Settings folder that you opened in Step 6
Step 9 - Launch the moved catalog as described in my previous post (i.e. double click it)
If you did everything correctly the catalog will now have access to your presets

HT201250 which external hard drive should I choose/use as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

Which external hard drive should I use/choose as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

Any of these SATA HDDs that are at least the same size as your internal HDD (preferably larger capacity). In addition you will need an enclosure, preferably one with a Firewire as well as a USB connection.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.

Setting up a cluster for the first time: newbie questions

Any help appreciated with this situation:
          I'm trying to set up a cluster for the first time and running into
          issues (no big surprise). I'll outline my situation and pose questions
          as they arise. If/when I get things to work I'll post a step-by-step
          summary of what it took to get a simple cluster going.
          Here's what I have:
          machines:
          1 Windows 2000 machines with WL 6.1
          2 RedHat Linux machines with WL 6.1
          All machines are on the same Home LAN, can see each other, etc.
          IP addresses are:
          Windows box: 192.168.1.100
          Linux box 1: 192.168.1.102
          Linux box 2: 192.168.1.103
          servers:
          I've set up the Windows machine as my admin server, and set up
          a managed server on each Linux machine. I created a cluster that consists
          of the 2 Linux machines and deployed the web app and EJB to the cluster.
          The Windows machine is acting as a Proxy using ClusterServlet.
          The web application has been set as the Default Web Application on the
          two Linux machines. All 3 machines are listening on ports 80/443. I also
          set up session memory replication through the console.
          Application:
          I have an application that I package as an EAR file. I'm using it as a
          "reference" application designed to mimic a real world app as much as possible.
          The EAR file contains a web application that uses Struts. It also consists
          of a single Stateless Session Bean. The WAR file and EJB Jar are all
          packaged up into the EAR file. I've been able to run this application just
          fine on a single managed server on all 3 machines.
          The web application works fine, and it can invoke the EJB. I can also
          invoke the EJB from Java stand-alone clients. Struts works great. All is
          well with the world. Now I'm trying to "cluster-ize" this app using
          the environment described above and encountering issues.
          I've read the docs and followed the instructions according to the
          "Weblogic Bible" book. I can bring up all 3 servers and the Linux
          managed servers connect to the cluster just fine. I can also
          see the Struts messages in their logs which normally happens and tells me
          the webapp is initialized properly. The console tells me that the managed
          servers are running. I get no error messages starting up any of the serves.
          Here are the problems I am encountering.
          When I try to access the Web Application (through a browser on the
          Windows machine using http://localhost) I get the following error message:
          <Nov 19, 2002 6:44:33 AM EST> <Error> <HTTP> <HttpServer(1754841,null default ct
          x,admin) found no context for "/". This request does not match the context path
          for any installed web applications and there is no default web application confi
          gured.>
          Also, when I try to invoke the EJB through a stand-alone Java client,
          I get a JNDI lookup error on the EJB's home interface.
          Questions:
          Question1: I noticed when setting up the machines that console lets you
          define a "Machine" or a "Unix Machine". What's the difference? Should I
          define the Linux machines as Unix machines or machines, and what are the
          consequences of either choice?
          Question2:
          I'm not totally clear on how my web.xml should look to set up Struts,
          the ClusterServlet, and a servlet filter I'm using to test Servlet filters.
          Here is what I had before I tried to cluster and which works fine:
          <filter>
          <filter-name>MainFilter</filter-name>
          <filter-class>com.refapp.servlets.MainFilter</filter-class>

          <param-value>org.apache.struts.action.RequestActionMapping</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>index.do</welcome-file>
          <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
          <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
          </welcome-file-list>
          (I have set up a "dummy" 0-length file called index.do that triggers
          Struts to go into its ActionServlet when first accessing the web site).
          Here is how I added ClusterServlet to web.xml:
          servlet>
          <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.internal.HttpClusterServlet</servlet-class>

          <param-value>192.168.1.102:80:443|192.168.1.103:80:443</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <init-param>
          <param-name>DebugConfigInfo</param-name>
          <param-value>ON</param-value>
          </init-param>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>InitServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/servlet/InitServlet</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          Clearly there is a problem with the Default Web application not being
          seen/mapped properly. Any chances my URL mappings for the filter servlet,
          Struts, and ClusterServlet are stepping on each other?
          With respect to the EJB, here is what my weblogic-ejb-jar looks like:
          <weblogic-ejb-jar>
          <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
          <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name>
          <stateless-session-descriptor>
          <pool>
               <max-beans-in-free-pool>100</max-beans-in-free-pool>
          </pool>
          <stateless-clustering>
          <stateless-bean-is-clusterable>true</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
          <stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
          round-robin
          </stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
          <stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
          true
          </stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
          </stateless-clustering>
          </stateless-session-descriptor>
          <jndi-name>Hello.Home</jndi-name>
          </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
          I run this through ejbc and package everything up into the EAR file.
          However, I get a JNDI lookup failure when I try to access the Bean from
          a standalone Java client running on the Windows machine.
          Here is the jndi.properties file that I am using:
          java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
          java.naming.provider.url=t3://localhost:80
          Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I can post config.xml also if needed.
          Thanks in advance!


Let me try to answer :)....
          A1> No need to name diff machines by default weblogic
          considers the servers are physically located in diff boxes.
          The names are used to differtiate the mang servers which are in
          multihomed
          Some things to chk
          1> Did u targeted the ear file Target as cluster.
          2> Can u see on the Admin console that both the man servers
          are participated in the cluster( u can see by clicking the monitoring
          tab on the Cluster node).
          3>Is the URL:PORT for the default web app correct?
          the reason: is I dont see the port# on the link u mentioned
          4> probably ur ejb might not been deployed on the target thats the
          reason u cant access thru java client. If u correct the targets that
          will probably fix it.
          Hope this helps
          Please post the result

I am going to back up to Time Machine for the first time

which I know sounds nuts. I was manually doing it for the past 6 months- don't ask why.
Do I have to completely wipe out my Lacie and do any formatting to it? Or do I just delete everything from it and set my Time Machine to default backup to that drive and go from there as if I'm doing it for the first time?
Also, I don't keep my EHD attached constantly to my laptop- I assume that is not a problem and whenever I hook it up, I can then ask TM to go to work?
Sorry for the basic questions- appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Bernice

I haven't burned a CD in years. My old MacBook doesn't have a DVD burner.
The biggest issue is the size of your various drives. For Time Machine, your Time Machine drive should be three times the size of the drive you are backing up. If you don't quite have that (and I don't), you can get away with three times the amount of data you are backing up. Whichever configuration gives you that equation should be the one you use for Time Machine. You can partition one of the external drives so that one partition is big enough for Time Machine and the other is used for other purposes, such as archives. I have one external drive configured like that. If you don't have enough room to partition, then dedicate one drive to Time Machine and the other to archives and/or clones.
Some people feel it is very important to maintain a long Time Machine history and migrate that to new drives. I don't quite understant that. I use Time Machine for backups, nothing more. I blow away all my backups on a fairly regular basis and start a fresh one. I don't need six month old versions of files. If I accidentally delete a file, I will notice sooner than that. If I have a hardware failure, I only need the last backup.
I currently have those bootable clones only because my MacBook is in a funky state right now (long story) and my MacBook Pro is a work machine bound to an Active Directory domain. I can't rebuild that system by myself without IT from work and that would be difficult for me (longer story). I don't consider bootable clones to be a regular part of my backup strategy. They are useful snapshots and archives for specific times when I feel I need them.

HT201250 I set up Time Machine yesterday (using a WD 2T drive) and got the message that the first backup was complete. I can open every file I try except Quicken and TurboTax. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the answer Linc, but how do I check to make sure the back-up process is working if I don't think I need to restore?
Create a test file with Text Edit (or any other program) and save it to your desktop.
Run Time Machine from the menu bar.
When the Time Machine icon in the menu bar stops spinning, drag your test file to the trash.
Open Time Machine and go back 1 page. You should see your test file on the desktop.
