TIME MACHINE ON MORE THAN ONE DISK KEEPING THE OLD DISK

If the HD used for TM becomes full I would like to install a new one bigger and stert it over. I see one could clone the previous HD to have acces to previous BU but I would prefer to keep the old disk for few months untill I am sure I will not need anithing older and in the time TM has built up a new BU.
To be more clear: mi present TM Disk goues back to May 2008 and is 320GB. I remove it and use a new HD 500GB which will start to keep my BU from now. Will it be possible to disconnect the nes HD and connect gain the old if I wish to find something dated from May to today ??

Yes,
it will be possible. Just plug the old 320GB HD, you won't even need to unplug the new 500GB one, then right-click the Time Machine Dock icon and choose "browse other Time Machine disks", then you may choose the old 320GB one and restore anything you need from it.
You can then change back to the 500GB or to any other newer one too, as you wish.

If my backup HD is not large enough, can Time Machine use more than one destination HD?

Hi, I have about 0,8 Tb on my Mac + 0,9 Tb in an external HD + 2,5 Tb in another external HD.
I have plenty of other HDs with 1-2 Tb that I could use as backup. Can I use them in Time Machine? Can Time Machine split all the data from my Mac and source HDs in more than one destination HD? I would love it if I could avoid buying large 6-10Tb HDs; they are still expensive... I'll appreciate your kind inputs!

Technically, you could store parts of your backup on different drives, but it would require you to be constantly changing the items excluded. It is designed to be a single backup, which you can do the entire backup to more than one drive.

Time machine on more than one back up drive?

Once you outgrow a hard drive, can you specify Time Machine to continue on a 2nd drive or do you have to buy a bigger drive? This is really confusing to me as i almost filled 500GB and do video work.

I have a slightly different fix on the same question. I have been backing up to two external drives, one at home and one at work. Time machine does not seem to mind - I just open time Machine Preferences and choose the appropriate disk drive depending on where I am at the time. The drive icon goes from orange to blue and the backup starts.
That said, I did fill up one drive and began fresh on a new drive at work I just keep the old drive in a drawer and have never tried to restore from it. Are you saying the content of that old drive is lost?

HT201250 Can I use Time Machine on more than one computer?

I have a new Mac Air and would like to back up to my existing Time Machine which I also use for my older Macbook. Can I use back up both on time machine?
thanks

General rule of thumb is you need a drive about 2-4 times the size of the total amount of data being backed up. See #1.
Time Machine FAQ
I backup 2 computers to the same drive and have never had any problems.

Time machine on more than one hard disk?

Hello,
I'd like to have two copies of time machine back up on two different hard drives. Is that possible?

Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
(Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe - on their devides and synching through cloud)

You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
Create 1 calendar called Kids
Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
Send invitations to each of them
Son gets Son and Kids calendars
Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
Likewise for daughter.

Drill down more than one characteristic at the same time.

Hi,
Is there any way to drill down more than one characteristic at the same time?
When I drill down by 0cust_sales I would like to have drilled down: division/distrchan/salesorg/cust_sales without having to do that one by one.
thank you!

Hi,
This cannot be done unless these characterstics are related to each other in some way as Charactertics & Display Attributes.
The reason being when you drill down the 0cust_sales , there is no link from 0Cust_sales to the other characterstics hence there is no prompt for these characterstics to be drilled down.
However, a smiliar thing might be acheived by adding these chareacterstics into the 0cust_sales in teh query designer by dragging n dropping them over 0cust_sales. you can try this and see if this is close to your requiremetn.
Kind Regards,
Tapish

Drag more than one MC at the same time

Hi to Eo,
i need to drag more than one Mc at the time:
n.b. emc2 is a mc on the main timeline. This code is in a nested MC.
prnt: MovieClip = this.parent as Movieclip;
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void{
    if((e.type == "mouseDown") && (GlobalVar.stat == "clicked")){
        this.startDrag();
        prnt.emc2.startDrag();
    if((e.type == "mouseUp") && (GlobalVar.stat == "clicked")){
        this.stopDrag();
        prnt.emc2.stopDrag();
        GlobalVar.drag = false;
this.startdrag() stop to works when i add prnt.emc2.startDrag()..
why?

The help documents explain it as follows: "The sprite remains draggable until explicitly stopped through a call to the
Sprite.stopDrag() method, or until another sprite is made draggable. Only one sprite is draggable at a time. "

More than one reports at the same time?

Hello
Is there any way that i can call more than one reports at the same time through the .FMX file. At the moment i can call only one report, if i need to call another report then i have to close the 1st report, then it will show me the 2nd report. Report Background Engine can run more than one reports at the same time?

Yes i know, we can submit multiple - asynchronous- jobs, but the problem is, is not possible to open more than one previewer to see multiple reports at the same time for analysis.

HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

Lightroom won't export more than one image at the time

I am having trouble exporting my RAW files as JPEG files. At first Lightroom 4.4 seemed to skip certain photos when exporting and now I'm unable to export more than one image at the time. How can I fix this? I didn't seem to have this problem before the 4.4 update, but then again, the 4.4 update has been running for a few days now. I run on a 32bit Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM.
Lightroom has also been a considerable lot slower since the last couple of days, yet there have been no changes at all to my computer or system or anything - nothing's changed expect for the fact that Lightroom isn't behaving as it used to.
Can anyone help me?

I think I've found the problem - I've accidentally 'synced' my folder instead of importing the RAW files. Which brings me to my next problem and question - I've already edited the RAW files and would really like it if there's a way I could re-import the files without losing my changes/metadata, is there anyway that's possible?
