Time might be running out to exchange defective units....

If Apple does make an announcement (some have been told by Apple Store staff they will soon) then what happens? Which would be easier for Apple to manage a mail in exchange program or an in store exchange?
I imagine they will extend past the 14 day grace period for exchanges, but they will probably require units to be mailed in to honor this. Also, if they end up doing a retail recall of 37 units then there is going to be a shortage as right now there seems to be more week 37 units in stock than anything else (imagine that
The window for being able to just walk into an Apple Store with deflective 37 and walk out with a newer 38 model in hand may be closing quickly.

What I mean is that we really don't know what the distribution channel is from the point the units leave the factory in China until they arrive at retail stores. The fact that Apple Stores are still receiving week 37 units from the warehouse tells me that they are depending on this supply to help meet demand and that the week 38 and 39 models may take some time to make there way in.
Speaking only for my local Apple Store I saw the clerk sort through about seven week 37 models and he only had two week 38 units. These were all new arrivals as they did not have any in stock two days ago. So if a recall came tomorrow and they had to send back all week 37 units they would likely go from having the units in stock to a sold out until new shipment arrived, so that's what I mean.

Time Machine keeps running out of space

This is really annoying. Starting about 2-3 months ago, my Time Machine suddenly keeps running out of space. I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2009 summer with 500 GB Hard Drive. My Time Machine drive is als 500 GB. I currently have 117 GB left in my MacBook's hard drive, and 65 GB left in my Time Machine's drive.
As of this moment my Time Machine only have 1 backup that was done Yesterday. It's trying to create a new backup, but can't because apparently it needs 69 GB while I only have 65 GB.
Why does it need 69 GB? I can't imagine a reason why. I haven't downloaded anything more than 1 GB, if even that much, most likely not, and all I do on this MacBook is pretty much browsing. In any case, it's hard to imagine there's a 69 GB data change between yesterday and today. That's a lot of data by any standard.
Thanks for any help!

If your internal disk is 500GB with 117GB free then you are using 383GB
and your Time Machine disk is too small. It is recommended that your
Time Machine disk is 2 to 3 times bigger than the data you are backing up.
There are also some tools you can get that will display details from the
logs to show you what is being backed up, it may be worth getting one of
those to determine why the backup is so big. I think the first thing you
should do is get a bigger disk.

Prepaid cell phone suggestion.... time that never runs out.

when I pay for air time for the phone, it should not run out. if it takes me 2 months or 12 months to use up the time it should not matter. it's MY time, I paid for it. I should not have to spend more money to keep the phone running if it has time on it still.
money is tight, I put 15 bucks a month on the phone only to keep it active... but never use all the time up each month. but im forced to add 15 bucks each month to prevent the phone from being shut off. this is not right in my view. if I buy airtime, I should be able to use it all before the phone is shut off. I paid for it.

I pay monthly to use 700 minutes, and I NEVER use that many. Why should I have to keep paying each month if I don't use the minutes? Shouldn't I be able to start paying my monthly bill again when I use up all my minutes?
Sounds silly from someone else, doesn't it? Because it's a silly idea. You pay for a service, whether you prepay or postpay - it's the same service.

HT201210 Iphone 4 goes into recovery mode every time the battery runs out?

Iphone keeps returning to recovery mode when the battery runs out and is charged up again. I have updated the software and it still requires a system restore everytime the battery dies, does anyone have an information to help resolve this issue?

That's what I did. When selected restore, it downloaded and verified the installer, and then threw the error that the phone is in recovery mode instead of proceeding with the restore. I then tell it a second time to restore and it proceeds to restore; but I never get the message that the 4 has successfully unlocked.

Time Machine keeps running out of storage space

I am using about 120 gigs on my 320gig macbook pro. I have a 250 g external HD plugged into my Airport Extreme with about 220 gigs dedicated to time machine. It will work for about three or four days, then it all of the sudden runs out of room.
I just went into the time machine application and it only has two save points now. It deleted everything else to make room for yesterday's backup. The weird thing is my finder window (in time machine) only says there are 19gigs available on my HD for yesterday's restore point. However, I have 199 gigs available on the next restore point. Coincidentally, I do have 19 gigs available on the external HD that the time machine file is stored.
My time Machine file size is currently 210gigs on my external drive, even though I am only using about 120 gigs total on the computer.
Additional info - I do have two profiles on the computer. One for me and one for my wife.

Most likely, you're using an app or feature that's causing unusually large backups. See #D4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for some common culprits, and ways to find out exactly what's going on.

BPM Timer Object - Process sticks at timer after duration runs out

We have a process that is using a timer as part of the logic, but we had a strange issue where the process got stuck on the timer for 10 hours (it should have been 1 minute). The context values seem fine for the timer. This has only happened once. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Server issue? We are running 7.31 SP05.

SAP will take some time to reply. We can try out different things till then.
Is it possible for you to re-deploy the BPM DC and check again?
Where is this timer placed exactly? Does it have anything else running in parallel? Would be great if you can post your process design here so that we can look into it.

Time machine has run out of space

I was under the impression that old back ups were replaced by new one? Why then am I getting a no more space message? What can I do?? I have done some searching but really can't find anything that gives me a solid solution. Thanks in advance.

Please tell us:
- is this an error message or the normal warning that Time Machine needs to delete backups?
- amount of used space on the drive you are backing up?
- size of the drive you have allocated to Time Machine?
- how long have you been using Time Machine?
- what messages does the console log (search for backupd process) give?

Time altered clips running out of control

I have been encountering a problem where clips are changing their own speed. I took my original clip and sliced it into smaller segments, which were set to 75% speed. Theses clips seem to at randomly increase their speed and play through the entire original clip in the space of the new sliced segment. Anyone ever seen this, and know of a way to fix it?
I have already trashed both my renders and preferences and it didn't help.
Thanks.

FCP's Speed functions remain a major flaw, unresolved after 5 revs. You cna search the forum for variable speed and speed adjust. You will find many hours worth of interesting reading. The problems are caused by many things and the possible solutions are far too numerous for us to start guessing for you.
But, this stupid workaround will help: Bring your clips into a new sequence, cur them up, change the speeds, render them. Go find the renders (or export them to a place where you can easily find them) and import the rendered movies as new clips. If you need to make adjustments to the timing, you must go back and repeat the process. You can do the roughs at reduced render quality until you have the timing nailed.
There are other ways to beat the limitations and flaws in FCP's lame speed paradigm. I hope others will add some additional comments or discredit mine.

How do I expand the storage of a time capsule that has run out of space?

In supporting the three Macs in our family, our little 1Tb Time Capsule has run out of space and now does not backup any of our Macs. No surprise since the total storage of our Macs is 2.25 Tb. So ... can I just add a large external hard drive to my Time Capsule and point, say, 2 of my Macs to it with Time Machine and everything will be good again?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Dean

Several options.......
Simplest and least expensive.....erase the Time Capsule disk and start over with new backups from all the Macs. Few of us ever go back more than a few days to a week or so to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted or somthing similar....but I understand that some users find it difficult to part with the old backups, even if they will never use them.
Yes, there is the very tiny chance that if you erase the Time Capsule and a Mac fails before you can back it up later today.
Cost of a new hard drive......add a USB drive to the Time Capsule and point each Mac there to continue backups. The downside.....Time Machine will make a new complete backup for each Mac first, and then run incremental backups. The upside....you keep your "old" backups on the Time Capsule if you cannot part with them.
Painfully slow and not worth the effort......manually delete old backups from Time Machine to create more space on the Time Capsule for new backups. This will take weeks in terms of time, and the Time Capsule will soon be full again, ao you have to repeat the process again in the near future.

MacBook Pro doesn't hibernate when runs out of battery

Dear all,
I've been experiencyng this issue for quite a while now and is very frustrating. My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doens't go to sleep as it should when runs out of battery. It simply dies.

Hi all,
Thnk you for the reply.
@andyBall: I though that the battery might run out sooner than what it reports, however it typically behaves behaves quite well - 5+ hours after fully charged and approximately 10 minutes of operation after low battery warning. Very hard that battery is running out before the system realize that. Yet I have to try the SMC reset. Will revert.
@SilverSkyRat: I have one iCloud and one Gmail for work. Today I have disabled both and OS hibernated well (no failure). Later in the day I reactivated Gmail and system still hibernated fine. I mainly use the Mac for work therefore it's rather difficult to perform continus test of this kind. Although, system somtimes hibernates fine with also all account active.
General question, which are the program associated with "Address Book Source Sync"? Only "Contacts"?
Also, I have Little Snitch on the computer, may this be anyhow linked with this issue in your opinion/experience?
Best regards,
Alex

2011 MBP not sleeping properly when power runs out

My macbook is behaving strangely. Every time the battery runs out, it doesn't sleep properly and restarts by itself when the power supply is attached.
The clock and date reset to 2001 but it is not a problem with the clock battery, this has been working fine up until the last few days.
The reason i say it is not the clock battery is because the actual power behaviour is behaving strangely. For example, the last time the battery ran out, the power indicator said there was still 3%/ten minutes left. The computer is cutting power before the sleep mode kicks in. Also, sometimes after the power cuts, when restarting the battery monitor shows 10 or 11 hours to recharge. The normal recharge time would be around 2.5 - 3 hours.
Also, just after a power cut with no sleep, when i am reconfiguring the lost settings, the processor maxes and stays that way, even when the computer is doing nothing.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and also an SMC reset but they are making no difference.
Anyone have any ideas? I already suspect this computer has malware on it but i think this particular problem is something else again...

I have to admit, I was not holding my breath. I have experienced this condition with on my own MBP twice this year. Once while running Leopard and once while running Snow Leopard. Both times it was only resolved after reinstalling the OS again.
I can't remember, though, if simply reinstalling the OS over the existing installation was sufficient or if I had to wipe the drive, reinstall the OS, and migrate my data back over. I assume you have a backup going.
The easiest thing to try first is insert the SL DVD and perform an installation. The default now is a variation of Archive & Install, where the OS is replaced without touching your user data. You don't need to make any special selections, just let the installer go.
In the event that does not work, and AFTER you have verified you have a current backup of everything, then insert the DVD and click the Options button, then click Restart in the window. This will reboot the Mac off of the DVD. At the Welcome splash screen go up to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then reformat your Macs' internal HD. Then proceed with the installation. Near the end you will be asked if you want to migrate user data over. Select the method of migration you wish (Time Machine, clone, etc...) and move your user data back.
Unfortunately, it is the only way I have resolved this issue if the earlier suggestions did not work. let us know what you decide to do. Cheers!

Time Machine failure: Disk run out of space unexpectedly

Hi
I'm having serious problems in the last few days with Time Machine backups.
I have an iMac '27 (late 2009) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The internal disk is 1 TB, and I use an external FW HD LaCie d2 Quadra 1 TB for my TM backups. After 3 years the disk is always full, but old backups were regularly removed. All the possible source of large variable files were excluded long time ago (VM disks, temporary directories, large download files).
TM used to work quite smoothly, but now, since 10 days, the backup fails with the message
"The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
I've checked previous messages in the forum about such an error, but the various cases do not seem to match my specific problem (or I was not able to find the message with working answer).
It seems that the "unexpected" problem is related to the fact that Time Machine is trying to backup again a large part of my filesystem, and it determines this fact only after the backup starts (so there is no pre-cleaning): when it happens I can see that the target size of the backup increases over time, while more and more data are written on the disk, until the disk is full.
I'll try to summarize my situations with an itemized list:
The current backup fails because it runs out of space, leaving an .inprogress file behind
The latest backup did not fail: the log report a successful backup (checked with Time Machine Buddy)
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fails, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
So, possibly, the "unexpected" error happens because the system is backing up a lot of stuff (like 60GB), and TM discover this only after it starts writing the files
I've verified with Disk Utility both the TM disk and the internal HD, and they both report no problem.
After some digging around, I was able to make TM work again removing the .inprogress file (using the Pondini instructions), removing (using the "Star Wars" interface) the latest backup, the one with the incomplete content, and removing a few older backups to create some more free space.
The first time I thought it was a transient problem, but it happened again after a few days.
So the real issue is, why the latest successful backup is actually incomplete, with a large number of directories missing, but there is no hint of this in the logs?
I've read that old LaCie HDs might have problems with Mountain Lion, and with its power saving settings. May this be the cause? I did already turn off the power saving setting (put HD to sleep when possible) before the latest failure, but nothing changed.
I've also tried to update the d2 Quadra firmware, as indicated by other messages and on LaCie website, but the update fails and the provided instructions are less than useful (I'll try to contact LaCie on this issue).
My doubt is that this does not seem a power save issue... the failed backups happen while I'm actually using the machine (so no wake up/disk spin issue seems to happen), and the backups starts with no problem: they just finish abruptly with no apparent reason but with a success message.
Does anyone have problems similar to mine (successful but incomplete TM snapshots)? Is the problem triggered by the HD firmware, or there are other possible causes?
I plan to repair the TM one more time, and then keep it turned off to run only manual backups, but I'm aware that there is no guarantee that also a controlled manually started backup is not going to fail in a similar way.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Maurizio

I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem. Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected.   The extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
The key thing is, as you have noticed:
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail'). But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
        <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
        <false/>
It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
I think this must be a bug. I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion. And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

Iphone 4 manufacturing defect detected after warranty runs out

I have had my iphone 4 since launch 18 months ago and now the sleep/on off button has become stuck. The Apple store said they charge £119 for a replacement.
My iphone 4 is in great condition, no marks or wear etc so this is obviously a manufacturing defect. Especially when I typed it into google I found out its a very common issue as many owners have reported it.
I cannot believe Apple are not admitting its their fault. Like when the phone first came out they blamed the antenna issue on customers not holding their phones properly...
I will never pay £119 for a replacement just to fix a button that is likely to break again and when it is not my fault.
There is also no way to contact Apple UK to complain, instead they charge people £25 for a one off incident phone support.
what I'm I to do now?
Well I have learnt my lesson and thats the fact that Apple are not as good as they are made out to be ESPECIALLY in terms of their customer service.
Even though I really want to get the iphone 5 when it comes out I will try my best not to as I fear that the level of quality of Apple products are very poor. I will have to start researching Blackberrys and Nokia phones for when my contract expires next year.
Thanks, any advice would be appreciated

I to0 have the same problem. I went to my local Apple Store today and was indeed given the same response: £119 to fix the problem, for a replacement. It is also 18 months old and no blemishes.
Now we all know Apple only give you a one year warranty wheres as most other companies give you two years. I understand you can purchase apple care but as I like the orional OP handel my goods with care I dont see the need for this. The sales of goods act as well as the EU directive states that a product has to be 'fit for purpose'.
'The UK Sale of Goods Act already offers us protection against faulty goods even when the manufacturer’s guarantee has run out and says that goods must last a “reasonable time” – which can be claimed anything up to 6 years from the date of purchase.'
Now if my phone had a smashed up screen and the button was broken off by throwing or dropping it then yes i epect to pay but simple wear and tear after 18 months is unacceptable, and to charge £119 demonstrates the lact of respect Apple has for its consumers. They may be the genuis bar what we are not mugs.

Iphone 4's battery runs out in 2 hours after connecting to Exchange 2003

Hi,
Ever since I connected my iphone to Exchange 2003, the battery runs out 3-4 times as fast. It looks like it's constantly polling the server for new mai and also the phones appears to run hotter than before. Is there any parameter I can tweak to fix this?
I'm running IOS 5 on iPhone 4.
Thanks,
Guy

My battery on my iphone 4 was draining in a few hours and turning hot while not doing anything (idling).
I downloaded lAssistant (with an L not an i) and noticed that before i deleted my hotmail account, the activity of the CPU while my iphone 4 was not doing anything, was 35-40% while AFTER i deleted my hotmail account the activity dropped to 4% and the battery returned tom normal drain.
My Iphone 4 returned to normal operation after
1. removing my Hotmail account from settings->mail,contacts->accounts->(choose hotmail account) Delete Account,
2. turning off my iphone 4
3. turning on my iphone 4
4. Re-adding my Hotmail account
The battery has STOPPED draining and getting hot.

Suggestion? Running out of rearms (time) building large master Win7 image - Should I use KMS until capture?

I am building a Window 7 Ent master image containing 200+ engineering applications which will be deployed to 800+ systems. My problem is, I'm close to running out of activations and am now down to one rearm remaining. I have the option of using our
KMS server.
Question: Is it allowed that I point my non-domain member master Windows 7 image at our KMS server to activate the OS while I continue to install software up until the point I'm ready to shut down and capture my master image?
If perform the above-mentioned procedure do I leave the master image pointing at our KMS server during the capture process? Or, do I remove the settings from the registry? After the client is joined to the domain, a GPO points all clients to our KMS server
anyway.
Or does it not matter that I continue building my master build image, with one rearm left, leaving it prompt me that my Windows 7 Ent. copy "may be counterfeit".
Thanks for your time in advance!

Hi,
Yes, you can point a non-domain member master Windows 7 image at your KMS server to activate the OS, it should be done by Manually Specifying a KMS Host with a command:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793406.aspx
After the Windows 7 image is activated by the KMS, you can run this command with administrator permission to check the rearm time: Slmgr.vbs /dlv
Details about deploying KMS clients can also be found at :

Time might be running out to exchange defective units....
