Time reset to 2008 1 1, PRAM running out?

Hi everyone. Since my first touch with my MBP 13 (mid 2009, 13.3 inch 2.53Gz 500G) I have experienced twice time resetting. Both happened after the boot up. At the first time only the time was affected, it was about a month ago. Strangely, after reboot, it turned correctly back, due to the synchron with apple.time.euro?
Second time was yesterday. Also the wlan password was lost. I have to typed it and let it remember. Afterwards the time was turned back itself nearly immediatly.
I have rebooted twice since then and until now, the syndrome is gone. But does the incidence indicate my new MBP running out of PRAM power?
Thank you for any comment.

Early 2008 iMac mysteriously running out of storage

Running out of storage. I have a Early 2008 iMac desktop with 2GB of memory, L2 Cache of 6 MB. Using OS X 10.8.5 I have only 4.11 GB free of 319.21 GB. Referencing the More about this Apple storage tab, it says my largest user of memory is "other" which uses uses 279 GB. By contrast my photos uses 1.58GB, Audio 4.13 GB. Movies 10.7 GB, Apps 7.95 GB, Backup 0. It seems obvious that OTHER is eating up all of the space. I cannot figure out what this catagory is. I assume it is the OS X system, but that cannot be that big. Does anyone have advice.
I also have a Seagate Backup Plus drive of 2 TB where I back up my iMac. It has 1.59TB free of its 2 TB capacity
Also would adding another 2 GB in memory be advised. Thanks for your help from a Senior Citizen with limited understanding of how my computer works internally.

This was very helpful SO FAR. At first I only found lots of little things to delete but it made little difference in the total memory gained. The I realized I was only scanning my files. I rescanned with it looking at only my hard drive and I got the result with 80% of the visual filled with big and small units lmost all appear to be Backup/Home Folder? /INcremental. The files date from 1/1/2012 until 11/11/2013. Everything should be backing up to my SeaGate external drive. Should I now delete or trash these older files and how do I do that?

I tried to utilise iCloud with iPhoto. since then all that happens is that I end up with the timer wheel and eventually the mac runs out of memory for everything. How do I get iPhoto to work normally?

How do I reset the settings on iPhoto so that it forgets I wanted to use iCloud with iPhoto ?

Date/time resets when battery runs out on E51

Any ideeas how to solve the problem?

There is a little auxilliary in the phone. This is the battery that keeps the clock going when the main battery is removed or flat.
Usually the date/time resets when there is a fault with this auxilliary battery. You can get it replaced at your nearest Nokia Care Point.

I bought my 15" macbook pro i7 just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quick..at fully charged it says I only have 2:27 of usage time. I didn't pay for that-what can I do about it? I do have Apple care. Thanks.

I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
Any help is appreciated, im new mac owner. thanks.

do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year?

EE says time has run out for my data but I still have 500mb PAYG top-up ?

Hi. I received 10 gb data when I bought my phone 3 months ago. EE says the time for this data has run out which is correct- however I still have 500mb of the monthly PAYG topup remaining (this is shown on the data, call, text remaining allowance screen. However away fromWifi I cannot access the internet.. It says I have no data - 'Time Run Out'. Any help appreciated

Hi Leanne, I tried contacting Customer Services via phone but just ended up going round in circles with the various options and not being able to speak to a person and basically getting nowhere. So I went into the local EE shop and a very helpful and patient young lady listened to my story and phoned Customer Services who put her onto the Tech area - then back and forth between the two for over an hour till eventually they reset my account and credited me with a new PAYG monthly pack. Now I can use the data allowance to access the internet as normal. The only thing that I believe needs to be checked is that on my next purchase of PAYG I was due to get a 250mb Boost so I need to check I receive this as the text msgs I received from EE stated I was on my first PAYG purchase. Thanks Brendan

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 :

NEED Help Running Out Of Time+++Q:Opening a PSD file in Illustrator Question???

Hello everyone!!! Hope everyone is staying dry and warm!!!
I have some artwork im doing for screen printing and a friend has been sending me some artwork to work on. The problem we are having is some of the artwork will open in Illustrator or CorelX4 and stay editable but then he will send me some that when I open in Illustrator it gives me this message and then will not be editable:
"""This document has greater than 8-bit depth it will be imported as an 8-bit flat composite""""
Can anyone tell us why this is happening??? I have researched this with no answers so far??? He is using PSD2 and Im usin PSD4 and Illustrator4
Please help!!!!! Running out of time for this artwork to be completed.
Thanks
Bobby

Photoshop is capable of saving files that are 16 or 32 bit depth. This has to do with the amount of colors that are accessable. The message you are seeing is telling you that it will convert the file back to 8 bit color space for you. This bit depth is talking about per channel, not over all. So a cmyk file would have 8 bits for cyan, 8 for megenta, 8 for yellow and 8 for black. Having a higher amount of bits per channel, photoshop is then capable of doing things like smoother gradients, retreiving data from raw images to produce an image that shows more highlights and shadows without the clipping and so forth.
Most basic monitors are only 8 bit, same goes for most printers. So unless you need to access the extra color depth, you should be fine in 8 bit. If you don't want to see this message, just tell your friend to send the images at 8 bit.

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

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!

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

I have an iMac and I am running out of disc space. I am considering an external drive to house my iTunes library. If I buy a second drive to operate as a back up will time machine back up the disc on the IMac and the external drive with the iTunes library

I have an iMac and I am running out of disc space. I am considering an external drive to house my iTunes library. If I buy a second drive to operate as a back up will time machine back up the disc on the IMac and the external drive with the iTunes library?

If you have a considerable photograph and/or movie collection you may want to consider off loading those to the EHD too. Here are Apple's article showing how handle iTunes & iPhoto libraries.

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.

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.
