Sudden change in backup speed

Odd problem. My Time Capsule backups have worked fine for months. Now, it's suddenly taking forever to do an incremental backup. The last one was 30.2 MB and took almost an hour. Nothing has changed, no new disk names, no software updates except the addition of Omnifocus.
Is there any log posted to follow what is happening during the "preparing" and "finishing" times when it sits and spins forever.

Sudden change in backup

Yesterday's 2 PM backup took the normal 5-7 minutes, but then the 3 PM backup took nearly 30 minutes, spending 20 minutes "Waiting for index to be ready". In between I removed a 2+ GB folder from HD (Apple's old Xcode 4.2), and ever since the backups are taking 20-30 minutes even after putting the folder back in place to see if that caused the problem. Is there a way to reset anything or check files, eg. the index? Or is it something else causing the slowness? The TC has 470GB available on a 1TB TC, so space is not the issue removing old backups, and there are no messages indicating anything it needs to or has done that. Anyway, suggestions welcome.

I found some information which indicated the problem was with the TC or the index on the TC, and founds some instructions to erase the data on the TC, the sparse bundle for the backups, and start over. It seems to be what other recommend and it's running now, 4 hours and 15 minutes to erase about 470 MB on a 1 TB TC. Since I have daily backups of all 4 HD's (Mac Pro) on a LaCie HD and a clone of the HD on another HD, the TC isn't as critical anymore.

Modulation suddenly changed

Hello
The modulation on my homehub has suddenly changed from G.992.5 Annex A to G.992.3 Annex A and my speeds have dropped dramatically from Downstream 5,759 Kbps & Upstream 1,008 Kbps to Downstream 1,603 Kbps & Upstream 1,100 Kbps. There is apparently a telephony problem in my area affecting ISDN lines which I assume may be affecting my broadband as well. Can I assume that after this problem is fixed the modulation on my homehub and speeds will automatically revert to what they were, or will I have to do something ?
Thanks for your help

The quiet line test has a lot of hiss but no crackles.
Could all this just be down to the local telephony problem ? If so will everything revert once the BT report that the have fixed the telephony problem in my area or will I have to do something to get things back to how they were ?
Thanks again

Time Machine suddenly refuses to backup to non case-sensitive drive

There is another thread on this which for some reason is marked as resolved, so I thought I'd post a new thread. Suddenly after months of no complaints I get the following error:
*+Time Machine Error+*
+A volume you are backing up is case-sensitive, but the backup volume is not.+
+To Select a different backup volume, or to choose not to back up the case-sensitive volume, open the System Preferences and choose Time Machine.+
The only thing I've changed is that yesterday I ran Software Update. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what was updated, but I suspect Quicktime was one of them since I needed to reboot. So now I'm at 7.4.5 in Quicktime.
Time Machine refuses to backup my drives now complaining about the case sensitive filesystem. The thing is, *NONE of my drives are case sensitive.* Looking at the Change Drive window in Time Machine, I see that most of the drives on my system say "reforat required" if I am to use them with Time Machine. All drives on my system are *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*. The fact that some drives are not requiring a reformat and some are, even though they all are the same format is quite puzzling.
I took a spare drive and allowed Time Machine to reformat it for it's use. It has now reformatted the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Case-Sensitive).
Can anyone shed any light as to why TM would suddenly require my backup drive to be case sensitive when none of my drives are?
This make no sense...
-K

Ok - Running Disk Utility Verify on both the system disk and the TM disk seems to have magically stopped this error. Note that Disk Utility didn't actually find or fix any problems with either disk. The problem just went away....
It doesn't make any sense.

I can't change my Fios speeds to Quantum without chaning my TV plan!?

So for the previous 2 nights, i've been trying to change my internet speed from 20/5 to 75/35.
I've tried though the website, MULTIPLE times. The website works sporadically, sometimes i get furhter than others, but the end result is always the same, i get to the 4th step, where it asks for my email and phone number, in which the fields are already completed because i have all the info updated in my profile. Upon hitting the "Next" button, i'm greeted with a message that asks me to review the given information.
I decide to take to the phone lines on the first night, and i'm told to call back the next day since the dpt. that could help me with this is already closed.
I comply , and call back the next day, this time i'm advised by said department to try live chat.
Did the live chat thing for about an hour , in which i was told to try what i had been trying the previous night, about 2 or 3 times... i'm finally told they have to call me to be able to complete the process...
During this phone call, i'm told that in order to change my internet speeds, i have to switch my TV plan from Fios Extreme HD to an "updated" version of Fios Extreme HD in which one of the channels for which i signed up for Extreme HD in the first place would be lost... (Gol TV , to be exact).
" Your TV plan is old and outdated, and unless you change it, there is nothing i can do about it ".
I'm sorry? You mean to tell me , that in order for me to give you MORE money for better internet speeds, i have to spend MORE money on my TV plan , and lose some channels on top of it?
I'm not sure what Verizon's idea of Customer Service is but i hope it doesnt involve making fools of their loyal customers, and forcing them into situations that even a Kindergartener would see are unfair and, frankly, rediculous.
I'm honestly hoping that i was just dealing with one of the many misinformed customer service reps, and that maybe there is someone else who understands what is really going on , and can help me change my internet speeds without chaning my TV Plan, unless of course, that is too much to ask. In which case my 2 year contract is up, and i'll start looking for somoene who can accomodate my needs.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Based on nearly 10 years of dealing with Verizon on various issues, I'm not surprised. Verizon CSR's seem to be so totally script-bound they can't provide any real help at all. Plus the bureacracy and antiquated systems Verizon employs seems designed to produce the worst customer experience possible. How this company stays in business is incredible. Fortunately for them, and unfortnately for us customers, the competition is equally bad.

IMAC OSX 10.7.4 Safari why does screen suddenly change to large print etc when I cam surfing the net and how do I change it back to normal size

Safari - Since changing from Leopard to OSX when surfing the net, my screen suddenly changes to large print/icons etc. How do I change it back to normal. It is driving me crazy

That's caused by the "Smart zoom" feature of the magic mouse. It's a Double tap with one finger to zoom and repeat to unzoom.
You can turn the feature off if desired in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab

Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
Rob
P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.

Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

Hey Gattypyle,
Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

External hard drives suddenly changed to read only

Three of my external hard drives suddenly changed to read only. These hard drives have been working on my macbook pro for months. When I click on get info 'read only' shows up and there is no lock icon nor is there a window that shows name | permissions, also in disk utility the 'verify disk premissions', 'verify disk', 'repair disk', and 'repair disk premissions' buttons are ghosted and I can not select them. I have not made any changes to my computer and I have read many other posts and have not been able to find a solution.

About a hundred times with no luck. Some of my research is leading to Western Digital, there may be a problem with the drives' 'smartware' software. I've been using this drive for months and I never used the 'smartware', but I tried it anyway with no luck. I just remembered that four days ago I had this drive plugged this drive into an Iomega wireless storage device and it seemed to work fine. Now the wireless storage device can't find the drive at all. I just need to know if there is a way I can change the permissions back to read/write, otherwise I will have to buy another drive and transfer all the data to the new drive and re-formatt the wd drive.

HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Hope this helps

Changing the Keystroke Speed

Hello,
I'm using Captivate 2.0, and the method in the documentation
for changing keystroke speed doesn't seem to work. An arrow handle
does appear when I mouse over the end of the "Typing" bar in the
timeline, but when I try to click and resize the bar, nothing
happens. I've also tried importing my captivate file into flash to
just remove frames to shorten the typing speed, but the frames for
the typing don't seem to import correctly--in a multiline text box,
when typing on a new line occurs, the typing on previous lines
disappears. Does anyone have another solution for changing the
keystroke speed?
Thanks in advance,
Teresa

Hi Teresa123,
I am not an expert in Captivate 2 but I have been working
with keystroke speed on the modules I'm building for several months
now and after a few days of frustration, I realized that I was
simply working too fast. Even though I'm working on a lightning
fast laptop, there are some functions of Captivate 2 that require a
few seconds for the laptop to complete such as resizing the typing
duration. Like you, my typing object started out at 156s and I
shortened it to 14.5 seconds.
I had to...
1. Select the typing object on the timeline
2. Hover over the right edge of the typing object until the
double sided arrow appears (three seconds)
3. Click the right edge of the typing object and drag to the
left
4. Repeat until the object is the correct duration
This is the only method that works without fail for me. I've
tried it on three different machines (another laptop and a desktop
with each running a different OS (Windows 98, XP, and Vista) in 8
different modules.
I realize this is simplistic and probably not the best
solution but it has saved me quite a bit of frustration over the
last several months.
Best of luck,
Susan

IMac (10.4) suddenly changed the resolution of my display

Hi, my old iMac (10.4) suddenly changed the resolution of my display and I can not change it back. It only happens for my account, and not for the other two accounts on the same computer.
I went to system preferences and display, but the resolution is already the highest.
Can somebody help ?
Thanks.

I am sorry to bother you. I found the answer in one of these forums - Somebody had the same issue: I accidentally pressed a couple of keys and turned on the "Zoom" function - It is hidden in System Preferences / Universal Access, so difficult to find.
Klaus1 gave the answer in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11718411#11718411
Thanks anyway.
