Still Trying to Learn How the Thing Works

I wrote the message below a couple of months ago, but have not had a reply. I decided to call Toshiba for help. I was told the drive only writes over files that have changed from previous saves and, therefore, has plenty of space for my meager files accumulated.
I do two versions of saves: Files and Complete System Backup. The Files process works fine; but now I receive a message saying my drive is full when I try to do a Complete System Backup. I looked at the saved files through Windows Explorer and see many copies of Complete System Backup which are obviously filling my drive. I expected only a few. Can someone help me fix this problem?
PREVIOUS MESSAGE: I have a Canvio 500GB portable backup that works just fine. However, there are no instructions on how it works and how to optimize performance. For example, how many copies of backups are made? Or does the system simply over-write previous copies? When I do a backup, I now get an indication that my drive is 80% full. How can I eliminate what I don't need so I don't fill the entire thing up? Toshiba is silent on the matter.

Not surprising you didn't get any response!
We can't see you and your backup. So we haven't the faintest idea what you're doing.
I know from reading messages here that some of Toshiba's external drives come with some version of NTI Backup Now EZ. Maybe you're using that. Or maybe you're using Windows' own backup. Or maybe you're using some third-party program. There are lots of backup programs out there.
Just in case you're using that NTI program, I did a little googling for you and found a User's Guide (attached). With a little luck, it helps.

How do I learn how the sidebar works in Mail?

I have added 5 accounts but I can't make sense of why certain things are in certain areas. For example, what's the difference between Mailboxes and On My Mac? I was excited to move towards managing all my email in one place.
I have numerous questions and rather than write them all down here, I'd just like to know where I can learn more. Even just know which OS X version added this particular sidebar might help.
I have spent about 2 hours searching Apple.com, Lynda.com, YouTube and other sources to find a tutorial to describe the details of the sidebar, but I can't find anything useful. Everything is for newbies and I'm actually an advanced email user -- except that I'm confused as to how the sidebar works.
Suggestions, please. Thank you!
In gratitude,
Karyn

Trying to understand how the DDK works

Hi,
1.) If I wanted to be able to use a wide variety of NI DAQ cards
under the QNX RTOS, would the NI Measurement Hardware DDK be able to
faciliate this?
2.) From looking at the web-page describing the DDK, it looks to
me that the driver code written by NI is done in a platform indepedant
way, using only ANSI C/C++ function, and when it needs
to do something platform specific, it calls out to functions that I can
provide. Is this correct? I am envisioning having to
provide code to get PCI resources, attach to interrupt, hw I/O.... am I
on the right track?
3.) I've downloaded the NI HW DDK OTHER code, but it's not clear to me
how the platform-dependant code for QNX will integrate with this. I
have the DAQ PCI_E_series Register Level Programming Manual
and STC manual, but I can't find any docs on how to use the code in
this archive. What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi,
1.) If I wanted to be able to use a wide variety of NI DAQ cards
under the QNX RTOS, would the NI Measurement Hardware DDK be able to
faciliate this?
Depends. MHDDK provides register information for a number of NI
DAQ devices. There isn't an API that abstracts the measurement
task form the hardware, like DAQmx does.
You would need to write the high level functions for each type of
device you what to use and provide an API to your application that
would select the appropriate device specific function. I guess
something like
startDevice()
    // somehow get deviceTypeId
    switch (deviceTypeId)
    case kMSeries:
          mseries_startDevice();
    case ESeries
          eseries_startDevice();
or using function pointers, or c++ inheritance. There are many possibilities...
2.) .... am I
on the right track?
Yes. MHDDK only abstracts device access using the iBus and
tAddressSpace objects. The iBus contains the address spaces of
the device. You request address spaces from the bus and use it
write/read from the device. For PCI devices the read/write
functions using pointer manipuilation. For a PCMCIA device on a
x86 you would use the port io instructions.
iBus objects are created and destroy using the factory methods
acquireBoard() and releaseBoard(). This is where all the platform
dependent magic should occur. Here are a couple of KBs with more info:
Measurement Hardware Driver Development Kit Register Level Programming Architecture
How to Make an iBus
3.) I've downloaded the NI HW DDK OTHER code, but it's not clear to me
how the platform-dependant code for QNX will integrate with this. I
have the DAQ PCI_E_series Register Level Programming Manual
and STC manual, but I can't find any docs on how to use the code in
this archive. What am I missing?
In osiUserCode.cpp, implement acquireBoard(tChar*) and
releaseBoard(iBus *&).   To acquire the board you usually
have to loacte the device, find bar0 and bar1 , and map them to the
current address space.
This article shows exactly how to do that in QNX: Talking to hardware under QNX Neutrino
Also, create a QNX specific structure to
attach to the iBus where you can store any handles you need for
releaseBoard() to clean up.
Hope this helps.

Trying to understand how the sync works

So this is what i am trying to figure out.
I know that if i create a document in pages on my mac that i need to upload the doc via icould for it to show in iwork. I also know that if i access that file from my iphone or ipad and make changes to that document that it automatically updates it on icloud.
This is my question, Is there a way when i make changes to that document on my mac that it automatically updates it like my iphone and ipad does on icloud. Coz whats happening at the moment is every time i make a change to the doc on my mac its currently NOT updating it on icloud. I am doing something wrong or does it just not update the document?
Thanks for your help!

If you change a document on your iOS device, then you need to download it from iCloud.com to make changes to it on your mac. Once you make changes on the mac, if you want to work on it on iOS devices again, you need to upload it again to iCloud.com.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

HT4783 I'm trying to learn how to use Airdrop between my wife's Mac and mine. We both have it, but this article did not help us learn HOW to share files. Yippeee that we can...but HOW?

My wife and I are trying to learn how to use Air Drop. The "tutorial" showed us where it is. It came up. I saw hers (Mac). She saw mine (Mac). But where to go after that is, apparently, in the cloud somewhere. The description says we can share files...which is nice...but nothing tells us HOW to share those files.
Thanks for your help out there...
Dennis

1. Open a new Finder window or use one that's already open
2. Click on Airdrop, press Shift+Command+R, or find "Airdrop" in the "Go" menu
3. Drag your file to the icon of the person you want to send the file to (if you have mountain lion, you can use the share button).
4. The other person has to click "save"
5. The file will send and appear in the receiver's downloads folder
In Mountain Lion, a new feature was added: the share button. It's a button with a picture of a box and an arrow jumping out of it. Click on it and the third (and last) option is "Airdrop" and clicking on it will allow you to send files over Airdrop without opening it in Finder.

W530 - How does things work when having two graphics cards?

So I have a W530 with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a NVIDIA Quadro K2000M.
How does things work when the computer has two graphics cards? I mean, is only one active at a time? Or is one doing complex calculations while the other one might be the one displaying them on the screen?
Related question:
I just bought and installed the game Portal 2. How do I know if it is using the better graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro K2000M)? And if it is not, how do I configure Windows, Steam or Portal 2 to use it to its full potential?

Technically, the Intel integrated graphics is always active, although it is not always in use. Nvidia graphics will turn on and off according to need. Software from Nvidia called Optimus automatically switches between integrated (Intel) and dedicated (Nvidia) graphics, according to the application. Portal 2 will run smoothly at maximum settings and native 1920x1080 resolution using the K2000M. The easiest way to see which graphics card is in use is to check the "Display GPU activity icon in notification area" option in the Desktop menu of the Nvidia control panel. It should automatically use the Nvidia graphics card when Steam is running. If it does not, you can add Steam to the program settings in Nvidia control panel and select that it should always use the Nvidia graphics.
Also, if you are using an external monitor and the notebook monitor, then you will be using both graphics cards - the Intel graphics will drive the notebook screen and the Nvidia card will power the external display(s).

How the sendBytesLong works?

Hi,
The sendBytesLong() that helps to send longer data response
For sending large byte arrays as response data, the APDU class provides a special method sendBytesLong() which manages the APDU buffer.
Could you clarify how it could help the transmission? And how i should understand the term "manage" stated above that i quoted from API doc?
thanks,
-Hoang Long

safarmer wrote:
Considering you cannot set the outgoing length to more than the single response APDU length, you cannot set the length to the full buffer and keep calling send in the way you mentioned. You need to return from your process method (with the appropriate SW) before the card can receive a GET RESPONSE message. You need to be able to then receive another APDU and handle it appropriately as this will be a new call to your process method. You can then send the next piece of data and return again and repeat until all data is sent.
You can search the forum for recent posts that reference code I posted as an example for APDU response chaining.
Cheers,
ShaneHi Shane,
I thought that the advantage of "sendBytesLong(...)" method is to send data in working buffer larger than APDU buffer as you mentioned earlier. But according to the code you mentioned, applet dev still have to manage the data being sent with max length is the length of APDU buffer:
   // work out how many bytes to send this time and how many will be left
        short remain = (short) (fileSize - offset[OFFSET_SENT]);
        boolean chain = remain > MAX_APDU;
       short sendLen = chain ? MAX_APDU : remain;
        // Get ready to send
        apdu.setOutgoing();
        apdu.setOutgoingLength(sendLen);
        apdu.sendBytesLong(fileBuffer, offset[OFFSET_SENT], sendLen);
I seems that i misunderstood how the sendBytesLong works?
thanks,

Report RFKABLOO i want to know how the layout works

Hi all,
in report RFKABLOO i want to know how the layout works.
like it has a parameter layout in which if we select 5 fields
it shows 5 in print screen output.
what is the process and how it works in this report?

Why not you use the Debugging option?
Do not expect others to work for you.
Also do not post a thread more than once in the forum.

How the balance works for http/https in CSS?

I want to understand how the balance works for http/https in the CSS.
As per doc,
- http/1.0=single URL per TCP connection
- http/1.1=persistent connection.
Q1. my understanding is http is stateless connection so needs TCP session for each URL. how the http/1.1 works with persistent. keep the same TCP session for a multiple URL request?
Q2. https is using single URL and continue processing until terminate the https instead of open another URL in the middle of transaction. in this case, I think the client can stick into same service based on the assumption the CSS support persistent. if then, no advanced sticky(ex, srcip) required?
Q3. looks below both are analogy. what's difference between them?
- balance srcip(same src IP to the same service)
- advanced-balance sticky-srcip
Q4. what's balance decision mechanism for "balance roundrobin" to distribute evenly? ex, in case of multiple URL request coming from same client. evenly distribute URLs?
Regards,

Hello,
first let me clarify 1 point.
HTTP/HTTPS are standards that are defined in RFC.
For HTTP/1.1 you can check the following RFC
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html
Therefore, the behavior of HTTP 1.1 is not defined by the CSS.
Q1- HTTP/1.1 simply keeps 1 TCP connection to send a received mutiplie HTTP request/response.
HTTP/1.0 will open 1 TCP connection for every HTTP request.
Q2- HTTPS is just HTTP over SSL.
So basically the same rule as above applies.
HTTP/1.1 can use 1 SSL connection for many HTTP request/response while HTTP/1.0 will use 1 SSL connection for each HTTP request.
Therefore, if you have customer using HTTP/1.0 you need some form of stickyness to guarantee that every connections will go to the same server.
Even if only using HTTP/1.1 you may need stickyness.
A user could disconnect and reconnect and require to be loadbalanced to the same server as before.
Q3- There is a big different between balance srcip and sticky-srcip.
The balance srcip simply hash the source ip address to find the destination server.
The problem of this method is that the loadbalancing is not guarantee to be evenly distributed between the servers.
With sticky-srcip, you use a normal balance method like round-robin, and then you create a sticky entry in a sticky table.
Next time this user comes back we first check the sticky entry to find the destination server.
The advantage is that it guarantess your users will be evenly distributed among the server.
Q4- roundrobin is applied to connection - not url [by default].
So if you have 2 users and they both open 1 connection, the CSS will send 1 connection to 2 different servers.
So each server has 1 connection.
If one user sens 10 URL and the other 1 sends only 1, one server will have 10 url to process while the other only one.
That's if you are using HTTP/1.1 and use persistent mode on the CSS.
You can break persistency and split the url.
I run out of space and time to explain you everything.
I suggest you go read the RFC or a book on HTTP.
Also read the CSS configuration guide.
There is much more you need to know if you want to take full advantage of the CSS like cookie, ssl offloading, L7 rules vs L3/4 rules, ...
Regards,
Gilles.
