Starup volume missinf from list...

When I choose "Select Disk" from the Time Machine preference pane, my startup volume is missing from the resulting list of volumes. I have 4 volumes on 3 drives, including an external drive that I will use as my Time Machine volume, an internal drive (my startup drive), and another external drive containing 2 partitions.
All volumes have systems on them, except for the external drive that will be my Time Machine drive. I expect I will add a system to the Time Machine drive once the initial backup is completed. All four volumes appear on my desktop as well as in Disk Utility. I have restarted the computer, but the startup volume still remains AWOL.
TIA for any help or comments...

"Select Disk" is where you select the destination for your backups, not the disk(s) to be backed-up. The drive/partition you're running from isn't shown because TM will not back up to it.
By default, Time Machine will back-up all internal or external disks that are attached when you first start it up, as long as they're formatted in any variant of +Mac OS Extended.+ So if you don't want any of your other disks backed-up, exclude them via TM Preferences > Options.

  • Unable to prevent Time Machine backing up volume mounted from sparsebundle

    I have a password-protected sparsebundle that contains my financial files, private data, etc, which I mount as a volume at startup. It's about 8GB. If I'm going to be away from my computer for a bit, I'll unmount the volume as an extra security measure.
    I don't need or want Time Machine to back up the files INSIDE the volume, just the sparsebundle itself. If I needed to access a backup of a file inside the volume, I'd rather just pull up an earlier version of the sparsebundle, mount it, and find the file in there.
    However, I've recently discovered that I can't exclude the mounted volume from Time Machine backups in the usual way - the volume name is greyed out when I go through the System Preferences/Time Machine pane, and won't let me select it to be excluded from backup.
    So what's happening is that TM is backing up the contents of the volume, which is showing up as folders on the TM backup drive. Inside these folders is the complete listing (and actual data) of all the files in my secured volume!
    Even if I UNmount the volume from my system, it's still possible to access the data via Time Machine.app (and via Finder, on the TM backup disk).
    So, essentially, even though I've password protected the sparsebundle CONTAINING the data, all a person needs to get the data is to have access to my user account on my Mac, and they can get the data via the above methods.
    Is there any way to allow TM to back up the sparsebundle itself, but not the listing of the contents (and data) of the mounted image?
    It seems odd that I can exclude the volume contents from being indexed by Spotlight, but can't exclude them from being specifically backed up by Time Machine.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    I have exactly the same issue. I cannot exclude the content of mounted disk images from my backup using the GUI (strangely on my other computer the content is not backuped).
    I have manually edited with a text editor the preference file (Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist) today (I am using 10.6.3) and added in the SkipPaths section the mounting point of the disk image (typically /Volumes/NameofDisk ). So far so good. The corresponding folder appears in the backup but is empty.

  • Downloads disappear from list immediately and automatically when download completed

    Everytime a download completes it disappears from list automatically

    Are you using Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 4?? Your "More system details..." link shows that you have turned off storing of history using a Firefox 4 preference (places.history.enabled), but your post says Firefox 3.6.17.
    Anyway, the general history setting affects not only site URLs, but also downloads. To treat them separately, go to
    Tools > Options > Privacy
    and change to Custom history settings. Does that solve it?

  • Add Option of choosing values from list in "Person Responsible" field of Cost Center Master

    Dear All,
    Could anyone advise me how can I add the option to Choose Values from list to field "Person Responsible",
    in Cost Center Master Data ?
    The Technical Name of this field is VERAK, and currently it is an open field.
    I would like to allow the user to choose values from existing list.
    Thank you!
    Orly

    Hi Orly,
    You have take it to your ABAPer, who will have to modify the attributes of CSKSZ-VERAK field in CSKSZ structure. ABAPer will have to define it with foreign key and introduce the name of the table, which will be used for deriving the available values. No standard table exists for it, but you can either create your own Z-table or take it from users table (USR02) if you have the necessary information there. Of course, this action would account for modification of standard SAP structure.
    Regards,
    Eli

  • JavaScript function which fetches return_value from List of Values

    Hi,
    I have created List of Values named "NICKS". I want to write JavaScript function "get_workers_fullname(nick)" which returns display_value from List of Values. The parameter of function is return_value of List "NICKS".
    I am new with this and don't know how to handle this case.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    The LOV, I mean is the item in Application's Shared Components. I don't mean the visible SelectList on the page.
    This is what I found in ApEx's help: "A List of Values can be referenced by page items as well as report fields. It controls the values displayed and limits the user's selection. Lists of Values can be static (based on values you enter) or dynamic (based on a SQL query)."
    I'd like to access values in such LOV from JavaScript. I am not sure it is possible.
    Cheers,
    Tom.

  • How create temporary table from list of values

    Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
    Thank you for help

    NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
    check the following link GTT :
    to flush the tables after commit
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
      column1  NUMBER,
      column2  NUMBER
    ) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
    so to keep rows in Table after commit
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
      column1  NUMBER,
      column2  NUMBER
    ) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

  • How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

    I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start   just turning the option off isn't the same.

    See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

  • Event Receiver to get folder Names from List View Web Part

    Hi,
    We have a requirement i.e.
    On one of the page,there are some folders on the list view web part.
    Now through event receiver i should pick the folder names from list view web part and
    update the same in the list.
    If that names already exists in the list then we should leave without updating,if not we have to add folder name in the list.
    Please share your ideas regarding the same.

    Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

    Hello,
    LVWP is just for displaying content of site so you need to associate your event receiver with actual list/library. You can create ItemAdded event receiver to check existing folder and create new if not existing. "sk2014" links are good to start.
