Time Machine via Ethernet? Can't find the option.
I have a MyBook Duo that I want to use as my Time Machine back up. I want to do that via Ethernet. However when I go to Time Machine Preferences > Select Disk it opens up Airport and fails to find an HD - there is no Ethernet option.
Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Eric
Firstly, thanks for your patience with this. I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer.
The difficultly is that System Prefs > Time Machine doesn't offer me those options. As you can see, it has the external drive where I've been saving my backups via wireless here.
However, having now connected via Ethernet, if I go to Select Disk I get this:
If I go to Set Up Time Capsule it goes to Airport and searchers for a wireless connection and offers no alternate options.
I suspect I'm doing something very dim, but I can't see why I can't get this to work.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network
I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.
You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule. The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
Click on Time Capsule
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
Verify.........................Verify the Password again
Click Next
The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
That's it. Now you have one big "extended" network. Technically, this is called a "roaming" network. -
I installed time machine but I can't find it in system preferences?
I installed time machine but I can't find it in system preferences? How do I access it? Light is green but is it backing up?
???
You installed Time Machine or Time Capsule? Time Machine is part of Leopard (OS X 10.5.x). If you are referring to Time Capsule, you set it up via AirPort Utility. You should have the install disk. If you are talking about Time Machine, can you confirm you have OS X 10.5.x? Your signature indicates you only have Tiger (OS X 10.4.11). If that is correct, you need to upgrade to Leopard.

I am a new apple user...sorry it took so long. I did a recovery from my time machine but I can not find any of the filesI was saving on my desktop. Are they gone for good or is there some way I can get them back? I am desperate...should I save my regular used files somewhere else other than my desktop?
Can I get the old desktop files back????When you open TM you should see all of the desktop items right away. If they are not there, go back a day before you made your last retrieval. (Look for the dates on the time line on the right hand side of the display)

Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.

I keep getting the notice to authorize my computer, yet I can't find the option to do so anywhere.
You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of the iTunes screen - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on then control-B should get the menus to show

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

How do I view what slide I'm on out of how many I have total in keynote? I know on powerpoint it's at the bottom right of the window but I can't find it on keynote, nor can I find the option to make it appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
- do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
- Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect. -
Does OS Lion 10.7.5 support Airplay mirror of Apple TV 3? I can't find the option in Setting>Display on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
I've rebooted all 3 devices, still does not work. Both Apple TV and MBP are on the same wifi. And the Apple TV AirPlay option is on. Can someone help? Thank you.About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Does anyone know how I can create "facing pages" in new Pages? I could do it in Pages 09 but can't find the option in new Pages. I have documents created in Pages 09 and want to do some further work on them, but am now using new pages.
There were 100+ features that didn't make it into the "new & improved, rewritten from the ground up” Pages 5. Some have returned with the updates & there are some new features that are worthwhile, but there are still 90+ features missing. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done. -
I can't find the option "Basic" in Lightroom
Hi!
I don't know which button I have pushed, but I can't find the option "Basic" anymore. I can see the options "Histogram", "Tone Curve" etc. But I can't find "Basic". I'm more or less a beginner with Lightroom, and I would be very grateful if someone could help me find it. This problem almost drives me crazy. :-P
/GlennCmd/1 Mac or Ctrl/1 Windows. Or, right-click (Cmd/click Mac) on one of the other panel headers in the right-hand panel and make sure there is a checkmark in Basic.

Where can I find the options for usetopicformat?
Where can I find the options for usetopicformat? It appears that usetopicformat="0" (I'm formatting breadcrumb placeholders) ignores the style sheet and uses the settings in the rh-placeholder string).
I'd like to put settings in a style sheet. But changing to usetopicformat = "1" doesn't seem to help.
Are these "advanced" codes documented anywhere?
The full context is: I'm using a fixed position on the screen so the breadcrumb doesn't scroll (which works) but the classes in the style sheet are ignored.
Extract from topic:
<div id="test" class="test" style="background-color: #ffffff; border: none; padding: 5px; position: fixed;
width: 400px; height: 30px; top: 100px; right: 50px;">
<?rh-placeholder type="breadcrumbs" ph-align="2" sep-char=">" home="Home"
usetopicformat="1" ph-style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;" ?>
</div>
Extract from style sheet:
/* Classes below should not scroll.*/
p.test {
position:fixed
font-size: 8pt;
Output is to Webhelp.
TomHi Tom,
As far as I have found, using the topic style prevents Robo from using it’s own styling for the breadcrumbs. But I saw that it also adds the class ‘breadcrumbs’ to the paragraph holding the breadcrumbs. So you should be able to use the following CSS selector to style the placeholder:
p.breadcrumbs {
//Your styling here

Willam
