Should Time Machine Be Switched Off When Using FCE?

I have just started using TM and wondered whether its hourly backups are likely to interfere with the operation of FCE and similar apps?
I suspect they won't but as it's something new to me, I thought I had better get an expert opinion.

The Time Machine forum has an excellent FAQ submitted by Pondini.
In it he mentions what would appear to be an excellent free app for myself and others using Final Cut etc.
This is the TimeMachineEditor which allows you to customise TM so that you are not stuck with the automatic hourly backups and can arrange more suitable times or intervals.

This is the interface which can allow backups at 2, 3, 4 ........ hourly intervals or daily etc. at a specific time.

Can't enter time machine if switched off

I have been using TimeMachineEditor for years to get only backup a day. But, after finally moving my previous backup to my new time capsule, I find that I can't enter time machine unless it is turned on in system preferences. This never happened before and I'm wondering if anyone knows why. The editor only works (although it isn't working at all at the moment) if time machine is turned off.

Thanks for the reply and I'm thinking that you are right that Time Machine is just buggy. I do have the latest version of the editor and I don't think the editor is at fault. I just did a backup, I think, but when I enter Time Machine it goes into waiting mode which means it can't find the backup even though the Time Capsule is mounted on my desktop. When I try double clicking on the file in the finder, it tells me that Disk Image can't find the resource. Later it will likely work again.
I bought the Time Capsule because I was wary of using a third party networked drive any longer since it erased all my backups a month ago and started over. But it looks like Time Capsule is no better and may even be worse at the moment.

Iphone switches off when using apps needing a connection

Hi all, my first post, really hope you can help!! My iphone has been giving me trouble for some time now. It started to turn off when i am connected, via wifi or 3g, doesnt matter, it shows the little circle loader, and turns off. Also i have restored various times, and the apps simply wont open, the screen flickers and nothing happens. What could it be??
Thanks

More details: My phone turned itself off today for no reason, while in my pocket.
Also, I tried using the facebook app and as usual it turned the phone off, as it does anytime an internet connection is used... but I noticed when it turns back on that it says the battery is less than 20% when its freshly been recharged... then I restart and the battery status comes back to normal.
I'm trying a complete format, and a start from zero. Will post the results.

MAcbook Pro 10.5.1 intermittently switching off when using battery only

Very recently, my macbook pro has started switching itself off. It only happen when using the battery and the charge meter (on the battery) still shows at least 50% charge. It would appear that I can not reboot wither until the mains are attached again. I no longer receive the warning message regarding reserve power, and have previously run the lappy down to 5-6% charge before a recharge.
I have had 10.5.1 installed since its release, and this issue has only just started in the last week, despite daily usage.
Has anyone else had this or similar issues? It seems unlikely thatt it is hardware and I've cchecked the connections and they appear ok. Please help, its very annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Graham

This sounds exactly like what was happening to me last fall - around Labor Day. This is a battery problem not an OS problem. I called Apple Care and they sent a new battery (after we tried all the PRAM stuff, etc.). The new battery took care of the problem.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Assuming you are using Ovi Maps 3.03 or higher, go to Maps, tap the spanner/wrench icon on lower left of screen, select navigation>Backlight. You will have an option of Always On, Optimised, and System Default.

Phone switches off when using camera

iphone 4s 32gb ios 7.1 when taking a pic it just turns off

Hi Paulncle,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. I would also suggest you calibrate the battery by letting it completely drain and then charging back up to 100% using the Apple charger that came with the device plugged into an electrical outlet.

My iPhone 4 mic will not switch off when using HF3 headphones

Hi all,
The mic at the base of my iPhone stays active while the headphones are plugged in and I am using the phone. The HF3 mic also works simultaneously, so there is this nasty echo as the two microphones pick up ambient sounds. I have to carry the phone in my hand or set it on a table during a phone call, because if I carry it in my pocket and walk, the scuffing noise is very distracting to me and the person I'm calling.
Not sure if this is an iPhone issue, but I can't find any info on this issue with Etymotic (headphone maker.) Could this be an iOS5 issue?
I have restarted the phone several times but it doesn't help.
Thanks!

My iphone 4s camera is getting switch off when i use

My iphone 4s camera is getting switch off when i use and when i use HDR function in the camera its getting switch off after taking picture and I wont see the picture where I have taken, can any one help me out in this or I should go to service center

Uninstall the app and reinstall it. If it persists dont use it. simple

Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off.

Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off. Running OS 10.8.5.

That message appears when there's a "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of the OS X volume. This folder is used by Time Machine to store backups, being this the reason why the OS X Mavericks installer detects the OS X partition as used by Time Machine.
To delete it, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the OS X Mavericks installer in /Applications and follow the steps. Make sure you have got a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac. I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant. When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore should be very smooth.

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. Please help

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Should Wireless Router be turned off when not in use?

I successfully installed the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router Model WRT54G. It was very easy.
I notice that it now appears to be "on" all the time, and I use my home PC & Laptop perhaps up to about only 2 hours a day. Should I be turning it off when not in use? Is it a potential security risk to always have it on? If I do turn it off, is the only way to unplug the power adapter? I can not locate any on/off button on the router.
Thanks,
Adam

You said your router was "very easy" to set up. I hope that this does not mean that you skipped setting up security. If your wireless router is not secured, having it on or using it is a security risk. If your router is secured, then it is OK to leave it on 24/7.
If your wireless is not secured, anyone in the area can log into your router and use your DSL line. At a minimum, this wastes your bandwidth. At a maximum, someone could send spam, visit child porn sites, distribute viruses, and give away copyrighted music --- all from a DSL account with your name on it!    Additionally, if your router is not secured, others can see what you are doing on the net, including seeing your bank account numbers, passwords, and credit card numbers. So my advice is ... secure your system.
In order to keep intruders off of your wireless system, you need to enable wireless security. To do this, pick an SSID and don't broadcast it. Encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor  (see note below)
WPA - good
WPA2 - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise".   Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES.
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and passwords that match those you entered in the router.
For additional security, on many routers, you can limit wireless access to just the MAC addresses of the wireless devices that you own. If possible, you should definitely use this feature.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Also, when you pick your login password, SSID, and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers. An SSID, or a login password, should be 12 characters or more.  WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 32 characters.
Note below: Recently the FBI demonstrated that WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes using standard, internet available, cracking tools. This suggests that virtually all wireless users should upgrade their wireless equipment to WPA or better.

HT201250 I want to use Time Machine to back up my pictures because my hard drive is full but I'm wondering if once I back up the pictures then delete them will time machine delete them off the back up too?

I want to use Time Machine to back up my pictures because my hard drive is full but I'm wondering if once I back up the pictures then delete them will time machine delete them off the back up too?

Evetually yes.
If your pictures have been in the same location (same folder, same subfolder, ...) for more than a week, then copies if them will remain in your TM backups until it fills up. They are then vulnerable to being deleted.
If they've been there for less than a week, TM could delete them as early as a month from now. If they've been there for only a few hours, chances are TM will delete them tomorrow.
This is why TM is not the best tool to use to archive data that you will be deleting from your main hard drive. Copy them to a dedicated external drive, or burn DVDs.

Suddenly, time machine is very slow. Used to take up a minute and now more than half an hour. Does anybody know how this can happen? Indexing the back-up disk is off, but Timde Machine keeps on indexing!
