The backup sure wastes a lot of time when it works, let alone finding out it has corrupted the backup drive

when I backup with time machine it makes my backup disk read only and OSX wants me to reformat my backup drive.
Why?  A bug with an expected fix?

I don't have auto backup turn on for Time Machine. If I don't have Time Machine on, do I still have to perform the Terminal function of "sudo tmutil disablelocal"?
No, as you notice in this screenshot, "backups" is Zero.  This is where local snapshots would be stored.
My other question is that is it ok or advisable to delete apps that are pre-installed when we first received the MBA? I noted there are quite a number of apps that may not be of use (especially those under the Utilities folder) but pre-installed. In the event that I have uninstalled/deleted these pre-installed apps is there any way to restore or download them?? Are these apps the ones that are taking up the space under Other or they will just fall under Apps section?
You can delete the Apps.  You can reinstall them at any time by inserting disc 2 (the applications disc that came with your mac).  I don't use GarageBand or iMovie, so I deleted them.  Apps just fall under the "Apps" category.  I qquestioned the Genius Bar as to what is in "other" and they said it is impossible to say exactly what is in that category, it is slightly different for each user.  It does include the operating system among other things.  They told me to thing of it as an "etcetera" category.

  • I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

    I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

    What version of Photoshop are you running?
    I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
    This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).

  • System log - how to find out who has deleted the req from cube.

    ^hello friends
    how can i find out who has deleted the request from cube ?
    i wanted to check the system log , that who has deleted the request from cube .
    could you please let me know how to check the same ?
    regards
    manoj

    Hi,
    Did you try the method I had suggested. It will work.
    Also its better to try the path I had suggested as it will display the logs for that particular Cube only.
    But if go through SM37 > B_DEL* it will display all the logs for all the deletion jobs not just this cube and it will be difficult to find out.
    Try that and you should get the log.

  • FETCH is taking lot of time when executing the program

    Hi,
    A program is lot of time in production though code looks ok.
    Only one select statement is there which fetches data from BKPF.
    Cost of the statement is as below:
    SELECT STATEMENT ( Estimated Costs = 51 , Estimated #Rows = 1 )
           2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID BKPF
             ( Estim. Costs = 51 , Estim. #Rows = 1 )
             Estim. CPU-Costs = 1,938,416 Estim. IO-Costs = 51
             Filter Predicates
               1 INDEX RANGE SCAN BKPF~Z1
                 ( Estim. Costs = 51 , Estim. #Rows = 1 )
                 Search Columns: 4
                 Estim. CPU-Costs = 1,936,841 Estim. IO-Costs = 50
                 Access Predicates Filter Predicates
    And in Se30 Execution time in Data base is 98.7% and Abap is 1.2%
    When I checked the Trace I found that the 2,487,732 & 84720,805 secs is being taken in the FETCH stage.
         27     BKPF               REOPEN               0     SELECT WHERE "MANDT" = '600' AND "GJAHR" = 2003 AND "BUKRS" = '0301' AND "BLART" = 'ZA' AND "BUDAT" = 20030319 AND "STBLG" = ' '
         2,487,732     BKPF               FETCH     406          0                                                  
         84,720,805     BKPF               FETCH     377          1403                                                  
    Can you please let me know what wrong in this? And what can I do to tune this fetch statement?
    Regards,
    Pooja

    Hi,
    so we can only use
    (MANDT)?
    BUKRS
    BLART
    as access predicates and
    STBLG
    as filter predicate.
    BUDAT schould be part of the access predicates i think.
    Watch out for an index where BUDAT can be used as access predicate....
    Kind regards,

  • Lot of time when Datasource is loaded

    I develop a Struts Application that access a App Server managed DataSource. Sun ONE App Server let me create a datasource, but when i access it for the very first time it takes a lot of time.
    I'm running a unique AppServer with 7 Jakarta Struts applications. I configure 4 Datasources with a min connection set of 8 (default value) and a max o 20 (default) but when i stop and start my server it takes about 45 mins to get ready.
    I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.5 and its JDBC Driver (ojdbc14.jar) running in a diferent machine.
    Anyone can tell me why it takes so long ? In the development environment I run my test in a Tomcat Server and it takes a few seconds to start.

    There are lots of possibilities; the top one that springs to my mind is that you have some sort of name resolution (DNS) problem on the problem host. Another is that your application doesn't have enough memory, either physical on the box (causing swap thrash) or in the JVM (causing excess garbage collection).
    Assuming you're using recent Solaris (10) and Java, then Sun's dtrace tool is allegedly the best way to dig into such problems; at JavaOne this year, Sun offered a free iPod to anyone who submitted a working project that couldn't be significantly improved by dtrace profiling - they gave away one iPod.
    http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/javaone_challenge.jsp
    http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/xperts/sessions/13_dtrace/
    If that's not an option, then you can use truss, vmstat, iostat, or mpstat to see if there's some system resource that's the limiting factor; if not, it's something on the net, a concurrency/locking issue or something else in the Java world. I've seen startup problems related to the inability to fetch DTDs over the network, but in those cases the application ultimately fails after "hanging" for a long time...

  • New MBP and Time Machine won't let me search out my NAS to save too. Any ideas?

    When trying to set up time machine and using a NAS drive in my wireless network Time Machine won't let me search and select the storage device. I can access the storage and save/retrieve files so I can see and use it. Anyone got any ideas please?
    Brand New MBP running Mavericks.

    I'm having the same issue with Mavericks - and it appears to be Mavericks specific. I don't have this problem with Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion can see both of my NAS drives.
    Additionally, with Mavericks Time Machine won't see your backup properly. It may only see the most recent backup. Though in my case it wouldn't load either one (I had two on different drives). To recover some files I had to use a machine running Mountain Lion to mount a backup file then I was able to extract the files to a USB drive, which I then moved to the Mavericks machine.
    I've tried using terminal to run tmutil commands without luck. I have mounted the volume I want to use - it shows when I do "ls -l /Volumes". Then when I do sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/VOLUMENAME the system seems to go into an infinite loop. I have to ^c to get back to terminal.
    Clearly with Time Machine on Mavericke Apple has really screwed the pooch.

  • Time Machine seems to have locked me out of data previously on ext. drive?

    I copied my Tiger install off to an external USB disk, so that I could do a clean install of Leopard... which went well. I'd been happily dipping into ~/Library on the external drive, to get at the settings I needed in tweaking the newly reinstalled apps on the MBP.
    Then I turned TimeMachine on, using the same external drive. And now I've been locked out of all the private folders inside the Tiger backup on that drive...
    Help?

    This is normal. The Time Machine application just doesn't know the information to put in because it hasn't initiated a backup yet on the "new" selected disk. I wrote "new" because Time Machine doesn't know about the previous backup yet. As long as you have the correct disk selected in the change disk options of Time Machine (the one with the backup sparsebundle file already on it), once you initiate a backup it will mount the Backup and read it (it may take some time) and input the information back in the fields that are now blank. It will continue backup as usual, based on my experience.

  • Is there a way of finding out what has been accessed on my MacBook Pro whilst in the possession of an apple authorised service centre?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm a bit new to this discussion group thing although I've been using Macintosh computers for many years (showing my age).
    I handed my MacBook Pro to be repaired at an authorised apple service centre. When I handed it in they said they needed to keep hold of it to run some diagnostics and requested my password. I've owned various models of mac for the the past 17 years and this is the first hardware problem I have encountered, hence I have never bothered to set up user accounts. 
    As I live in quite a remote part of Sweden I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web. Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Thanks!
    PS: I've already thought about the 'recently opened' menu and The machine in question is a MacBook Pro 17" (2011) running OS X 10.6.8 (need Rosetta).

    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
    If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
    Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
    Have you lost your mind?
    Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
    The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
    It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
    If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
    Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

  • How do I find out who has accessed my computer at a particular time?

    Hi,
    Someone has been deleting files from my computer at work using another mac through an internal network.
    Is there anyway I can find out what computer has deleted the files?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe. Launch the Console application and view the following log:

  • 2008R2 backup - fails every time when scheduled; works every time when run manually

    Hi all
    I installed a brand new Dell PowerEdge T310 at the weekend, with a clean install of 2008R2. Roles are .Net IIS, DC, DNS, DHCP. The server has 8GB RAM and a PERC RAID1 array.
    I have scheduled the backup (20:30) to do a full backup (C:, system state, bare metal) to external USB drives.
    Every day so far the backup has failed, but when I logon to the server and choose to run it manually it always succeeds.
    Event log messages are:
    Event 40961, VSS
    ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason:    Unable to obtain disk information for device 1 (Win32 error code 0x2).
    Event 753, Backup
    The Block Level Backup Engine service has successfully started.
    Event 561, Backup
    The backup operation that started at '‎1601‎-‎01‎-‎01T00:00:00.000000000Z' has failed because no backup storage location could be found. Please confirm that the backup storage location is attached and online, and then rerun the backup
    operation.
    Event 546, Backup
    The backup operation attempted at '‎2011‎-‎11‎-‎22T20:30:04.898299200Z' has failed to start, error code '2155348061' (Windows Backup cannot find any of the backup storage locations.). Please review the event details for a solution, and
    then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
    The server is remote and no-one can possibly be tinkering with (only I have remote access and the office closed for the day four hours ago). But if I remote to the server and run it manually, it runs.
    Does anyone have any advice please? I don't really want to be running manually every day :-)
    Many thanks,
    Jim

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that if you do a schedule backup, it failed,
    If you do a manual backup, it would succeed.
    I would like to confirm that if it is the same external USB drive destination when
    use the schedule backup and the manual backup?
    From the error code, you may take the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    To verify that a scheduled backup is enabled:
    Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click
    Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click
    Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    At the prompt, type:
    wbadmin enable backup.
    If the command output shows a schedule, then a scheduled backup is enabled.
    Confirm that the schedule contains the correct parameters.
    To verify that a disk used to store backups is online:
    For the computer that contains the storage disk, open Disk Management. Click
    Start, click Run, and then type: diskmgmt.msc.
    Click
    View, click Top, and then click Disk List.
    For the disk that contains the volume that you will use to store backups, confirm that the value in the
    Status column is Online.
    For more details, you may refer to the Microsoft articles.

    2. Menu Purchase Requisition->Other requisition
    3. Specified the PR number.
    4.Menu Environment -> Item Changes
    5. Here in this screen, I got some information saying :
           Person responsible (user id), Date, Time, Transaction, Change Doc etc..
    Here it says that, one user executed tcode me54 and release indicator is changed to 3.
    I think this is only the user who has released it.
