TM finally working

Time Machine was the main reason i've installed Leopard.
(before discovering it was much faster than Tiger on my MBP, that is)
I wasn't able to make it working.
I've tried with many differend hds and external cases (firewire, usb2, fw+usb2 with different chipsets), and the hds were formatted the right way.
TM was not able to finish the first backup, never!
Then i got a *Firewire 800* external enclosure form a friend that bought it but it's windows xp could recognise the box
Opened the box, put an hd in there, closed everything, plugged to the fw800 port, started tm and, surprise surprise, it worked perfectly.
I've already used TM for some time and it's working really good.
BTW i start the backup manually once a day.
Looking forward for the final TM with ZFS, THAT is gonna be really cool...
(ok TM developers, take your time, we can still wait)

Unless you're using a laptop that is usually away from your FW disk, why do one manual daily backup? I keep my MBP attached to some backup disk all the time (I use two disks in two different locations). When a backup occurs, it only takes about 1 minute and I'm rarely aware it's in progress. This way, I know I'm always up-to-date with backups. I did have to do a restore once due to a "confused" boot drive and was glad the TM backup was current.

  • When trying to print, adobe reader 11.0.07 keeps "Not responding" for 2 - 5 minutes before finally working? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but same problem. What is going on? I have windows 7

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Is native AVCHD editing finally working in FCP6?

    I read somewhere that FCP 6.06 will finally work natively with AVDHD. I've been itching to get a Panasonic AVCHD HMC150 but don't want the hassle of transcoding to giant ProRes files, but rather work with native files.
    Anybody had success with this combo?

    What is the problem with using ProRes (apart from size of files)? It is an awesome codec. On my humble Mac Pro I can play back 3 streams with a couple of filters applied to clips and transitions in rt.
    I have tried native avchd editing in Vegas - got about 3 streams to work, but frame rate only stays full frame at preview (half). Edius playback of avchd is nil for me - although converting to canopus HQ gives similar results to FCP. FCP's log and transfer is also a very elegant way of transferring and transcoding clips on the fly. Also, read the adobe forums for posts on avchd - very variable responses with many reporting lots of crashes!
    For me, the bigger issue with FCS2 is the lack of a HD distribution format, ie bluray!

  • Yahoo Business Mail finally working again after 11 months

    Thanks to Safari 4.0.4 Yahoo Business Mail is finally working after breaking over 11 months ago because of an Apple update. I'm glad I don't have to switch to a different browser just to check my email anymore but having to wait a year for a bugfix that Apple themselves caused and refused to fix was really annoying.
    Original thread where this was reported last December
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1828763

    There's no question in there, so why is this marked as a question? Further, not only in this message, but in many of your posts, you seem to be awfully fond of all caps. You need to be aware that this is a great way to ensure that people don't read your posts. Also, think a little more carefully about what you're going to write before posting... flow-of-consciousness is not the easiest to read, and thus is also a great way to get people to ignore your posts. Try to organize your writing better.
    I'm not trying to be insulting, but you do need to know that a post like this one gives a negative impression to the reader, and if you actually were asking a question, it reduces the chances of getting that question answered.

  • Hotmail finally works on iPhone

    I dont know if anyone has noticed but Hotmail finally works on the Mail application with no workarounds, i searched for someone posting this but could only find posts about workarounds, so i figured i would share the good news!
    all you have to do is go to Other when setting up email and put in your name, email address, password, and then the description box will b automatically filled in with your email address. Every other setting will also be automatically done, but just for reference host name is pop3.live.com and the Outgoing smtp is smtp.live.com
    im glad i procrastinated long enough to not have to use a workaround or set up a new email account and im extremely glad that i can finally use my Mail application and not safari!!!

    Maybe the Windows Live web page changed to Flash content, that would be evil 
    But seriously, why not use the Mail app for your Hotmail?

  • Apple TV sync finally working

    For what it's worth, I have finally figured out how to keep my ATV from crashing and rebooting during the sync process and also keep it in from disappearing from the device list in iTunes.
    Setup: I have a fully Apple homogenous setup: iMac with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) running iTune 9.0.1 w/ethernet to Airport Extreme 802.11n (firmware 7.4.2) wireless stream to two 40GB ATVs (family room, living room). I use the ATV to stream everything with no media on either ATV.
    I have previously tried everything recommended on these forums: reboots, reinstalls, trashed prefs, completely resetup wireless network, factory resets of ATVs, firmware upgrades/downgrades on Airport Extreme
    My fix was simple;
    1. Choose radio button to custom sync each ATV on the respective ATV device in iTunes. (For the record, I don't know if this has ANY bearing on the fix but it is the way mine is setup.)
    2. Choose "Prevent Apple TV from syncing automatically" in the Apple TV pref pane within iTunes preferences.
    After I checked this weeks ago, I have not lost either Apple TV from the device list and I can access all of my content from the ATV menus and no longer get the "There is no content available" message that i used to routinely get when I'd lose connections previously.
    The ONLY pain that this setup has cost me is I need to manually kick off the sync process occasionally from within iTunes to ensure my library file on the ATVs accurately reflect my iTunes library file. Not bad compared to the constant frustration of never being able to use my ATV because it couldn't establish a connection or show the content from within iTunes.
    This may help and it may seem obvious but it is the ONLY thing that has worked for me.
    Message was edited by: Jamvan - Added clarification to existing setup.

    My set up is an Airport Extreme, iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.1, iTunes 9.02), and Apple TV with the 3.0 update. No luck with Syncing it just hangs until the ATV crashes.
    I'm using the work around mentioned at the top but it is really irritating given I'm using all Apple technology. By the way the Firewall is off on my iMac however I do have a large iTunes library 300Gigs. I just wonder if it's too big for the ATV to sync successfully.

  • Nokia Suite/Nokia Store finally working

    I had not tried downloading/installing an app from the Nokia store from within Nokia Suite in quite a while, as it never seemed to work. On a lark, I decided to see whether anything had changed since installing the latest version of Nokia Suite. To my surprise, the selection of apps offered was correct for my phone; the selected apps were downloaded and installed in one step, and the 4 apps that I tried out all worked. I'm glad that Nokia has finally apparently gotten the kinks out of the procedure, as this is now on par with its equivalent through Apple/iOS or through Google/Android.

    I think development of Nokia Suite has already stopped.

  • Waves 5.9.7- Finally Working in FCP!

    The folks at Waves must have finally got their act together. The age old problem of Waves Audio Units not working in FCP seems to be over. After installing the update, I crossed my fingers and launched FCP 6.0.1 and voila, no crash!
    It's not that I ever used these plugs in FCP, but I'd always have to remove them from my components folder after using them in Logic. They would never let FCP start up otherwise. So, I'm just happy I don't have to go through that step all the time anymore!

    Does FCP still take 30-45 minutes to load the Waves bundle? In my experience, it would launch eventually on some version combinations...
    Even if you can use them in FCP, you would still see the numerical effects tab interface, instead of the nice skins you see in Logic. But at least you don't have to remember to drag them out of the plugins folder each time you want to launch FCP...
    I'm interested about this because I teach FCP at a school where Logic, Pro Tools, and the Waves bundles are on the same student workstations - We'd have to move those Waves files around at the start and end of every class.

  • Parallels 1918 Finally Works for Me!

    Parallels just released another update to their software, and it FINALLY doesn't make my system crash! The software is awesome. If you had issues before, I recommend grabbing this version and seeing if it works for you!
    http://forum.parallels.com/thread4631.html

    I started seeing success with 1868, but it wasn't until 1910 that I had any real success. Even that build crashed once in a while.
    1918 was -rock- solid for me. I ran it extensively with XP and Vista, sometimes at the same time.
    1920 came out today by the way (it is RC2, and available on their main website and not just in their forums) and it fixed my last real problem: the sound volume being reset.
    1910, 1918, and 1920 have seen a drastic reduction of problem reports for people on the Parallels forums.
    1920 is release ready, if you ask me. Parallels works 100% now on my Mac Pro without any KPs or RAM fiddling. I am very, very happy. Parallels is once again viable on the Mac Pro.

  • GeForce 8800 Core Image issues finally worked out?

    Getting ready to order a new Mac Pro, and deciding between the Radeon 2600 and GeForce 8800 I have been reading that for games the 8800 is smoking fast - but for normal work in Aperture/etc it's actuall slower than the Radeon. Also saw some people reporting issues playing back HD video on the 8800...
    Have these issues finally been worked out? Is the 8800 working well for HD video, moving windows around without stuttering, core image, etc...??
    Thanks in advance for the replies...

    I'm quite sure the 8800 will do well as a gaming card under windows. But if you use the computer mainly for CS3, Aperture etc, then I think you should go for the cheaper 2600 and then upgrade.
    Barefeats has recently tested the ATi 4870x2 and the GTS280 under Vista and the former is significantly stronger. http://www.barefeats.com/harper19.html.
    Note that in that article it is said that ATi "has optimized their Mac Edition drivers and firmware for the Radeon 2600 XT and 3870 so that they run Core Image effects much faster than comparable nVidia cards including the GeForce 8800 GT and Quadro FX 5600." This was news to me but perhaps it answers your question in part at least.
    I have not seen any solutions for the HD video playback issue. I'm using the 8800 but don't do HD so I have no personal experience of that.
    Btw note Barefeats finding that a 2,8 Mac Pro is as strong as a 3,2 Mac Pro for graphics work.

  • SlideShow transition IE finally working except

    Well I finally got it to work with 2 small problems.
    Hopefully someone has come across this and knows if there is a solution.
    Problems:
    1) not everything is staying centered on the index page when changing the window width in IE browser and emulating ie7. It works in Safari and FireFox and my other pages in IE browser NOT emulating IE7.
    2) the shadow boxes are not working on the index page... again in IE browser and emulating ie7.
    www.bigbroncocc.com
    The SlideShow transition fix:
    I added the following meta tag to my index page:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    The (Slideshow basic) did not work and I had to use the (SlideShow with filmstrip) as stated by (W Bell)... link provided by Gramps below.
    I could not install the slideshow with filmstrip directly into my page from the widget browser in dreamweaver...  From the widget browser I saved the (SlideShow with filmstrip) files to my hard drive and copied spry folders and html code into my page.
    ======================================================
    Have a look here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3480458#3480458
    Gramps

    That's correct I could not get the basic to work and had to use filmstrip... and strip out every thing that I did not need... the slideshow with filmstrip did not work when I used the (insert widget) in dreamweaver. as mentioned above. I am new and self taught myself, hope this helps.
    I also found it very helpful to use a code checker, links below

  • GetContentType = Nullpointer, "rebuild" message finally works... *confuse*

    Hi,
    i just got a question, not really a problem.
    So let me try to explain.
    We receive mails from a groupwise server. Sometimes (not every mail, but some, could not find out which) i am getting a nullpointer if i ask for the contentType.
    If i now read the message, write it back .. the rest will work fine. If i don�t do so, i also get a nullpointer calling getRawInputStream.
    .. but let the source explain :)
    try {
         contentTypeStr = emailMessage.getContentType();
    } catch (Exception e) {
         emailMessage = (MimeMessage)dumpMessage((Message)emailMessage);in my testscenario, dumpmessage just does something like:
    (emailMessage is NOT changed)
    //          test
              File file2 = File.createTempFile("dummy", ".eml");
              FileOutputStream fileOutputStream2 = new FileOutputStream(file2);
              emailMessage.writeTo(fileOutputStream2);
              fileOutputStream2.flush();
              fileOutputStream2.close();
              source = new FileInputStream(file2);
              message = new MimeMessage(session, source);
              return message;
    //          testAnd now i can finally read the mail properly... no more nullpointer..
    may anybody explain that to me?
    thx in advance

    I assume you're using IMAP.
    This is usually caused by a bug in the server. Please post a protocol trace
    showing the problem, or send it to me at [email protected]
    And make sure you have installed all the latest patches for GroupWise.

    I found only two problems:
    - I can't make movies and OpenGL applications transparent
    - I can't play movies in gl/gl2 (mplayer), they are flickering

    for the first time ever, Beryl+AIGLX works perfect with open source DRI on my radeon 9800..

  • Success!! Zen Sleek recognized Finally working again!!!!!!!

    So my Zen Sleek locked up on me. Reset didn't work did a format then tried to re-install the firmware but niether my desktop or laptop would recognize my player. I did the roll back of windows media with no luck on both my laptop and desk top. Then I followed the "PlaysForSure/Zen Player connection problems *read first*" post listed on the top of the fourm. I followed it and ended up having to "Changing the USB permission in the System Registry"? And it worked it was easy just follow the directions. Finally I have my player back. Have to reload all my music but better then throwing my player against a wall. I was just about there.
    Their is hope people don't give up.

    Glad you got everything working again. Yeah, sometimes that registry can be a pain and cause issues that you would never think would be caused by the registry:P
    Enjoy your player!
