Trying to create backup of BOOTCAMP with New Disk Image

Hi.
I am trying to automate backing up my BOOTCAMP partition. I thought automator might do it. I have it done but I have 2 problems.
1) It prompts me for my password before it starts. Other folders don't ask me, how can I stop automator asking me when it is making disk image from BOOTCAMP?
2) I get an error message Error code 28. See below. I have run this twice and get the same error message, same place each time. What is the problem.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks JGG.
However, I see that development of Winclone has stopped which is a little concern.
Also I do not see how to automate it. Is that possible?
Can Winclone be added to Automator somehow, or back to the original question why is New Disk Image not happy creating an image of Bootcamp? I also tried selecting all the files/folders within Bootcamp instead of bootcamp itself, but that also fell over with same error message but at a different file.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner for backing up Macintosh HD on a schedule, but I really want something which can back up Bootcamp on a schedule, or by using automator. How can this be achieved? Thanks

Trying to create a text item with a scroll bar in Indesign 5.5

Is there a simple way to create a scrollable text article in Indesign 5.5? It will later be exported to a SWF as a mini-flash web portfolio.
I would appreciate any help.
I'm new to Indesign.

Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
entry) or one for displaying your content?
If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
textarea
description at W3Schools.
If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
done with CSS. See these two pages:

I am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is grey out

i am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is greyed out even though I downloaded the J2EE version
I went through the following steps :
Click the project in which you want to create a new diagram, choose File New from JDeveloper's menu, then select General Diagrams in the left pane of the New dialog.
I have downloaded J2EE Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984

When the class diagram is disabled - does the wizard for creating a new class in the new->General also disabled?
If it is then you are not placing your cursor on the project before you choose file->new
(you are probably on the workspace that contains the project).

Im trying to create a "wobbling" effect with a bitmap

im trying to create a "wobbling" effect with a bitmap
any idea how to go with this with director?

It somewhat depends on what the effect is intended to acheive.
Here is a simple behavior script that can be applied to any bitmap. It wobbles, in the sense that it has a radom movement about its axis.
That is acheived with the random() statements. The amount of wobble can be controlled by changing the value added to each parameter on each iteration.
The last three statements keep the wobble from randomly walking off the frame. Again, wobble can be changed by setting the corrective value at which point the bitmap returns to its original state.
Hope this helps.

Time Machine creates new disk image when backing up but files not visible

When I back up my files (daily) to tan external drive TM creates a new disk image (named laptop) on my desktop (in addition to the image for the external drive named TIme Machine Backups). When I click on the new disk image while it's backing up I see a list of recent backups. However the disk image disappears after completing the back up and the files do not appear in the Star Wars screen - only old back-ups from 2009. How can I access the newest backups?

A disk image labeled Time Machine Backups resides permanently on the desktop
Right-click it, and select +Get Info.+ See what the path is (after +Disk image+ near the top of the General section).
Also the amounts for Capacity and Used.
as a consequence of the repair a sparse bundle (Zero KB) folder was created.
No. That may have been created by the new backup, though.
Also a new "lost +found" folder was created containing several ".emix" files.
Those are email files.
Net, net - same basic problem, can't see the newest backups in the Star Wars screen.
I suspect they're in the disk image.
Do you have any external HDs connected?
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Creating new Disk Image in disk utilities for TC. How long should it take?

I'm attempting to create a new disk image so that I can use my TC as storage in addition to back up. It's been "creating the image" since 6am today. It's 3:15pm now. ***? Is it supposed to take this long or is something wrong? I am attempting to create a large area of storage (500 GB). Could that be what is taking so long or should I hit cancel/give up...call Apple support?
Please advise. Thanks!

Hey Kristi,
How much is the actual size of the data you're trying to rebuild? This would be directly related to the duration of the process. Also, if you are doing it wirelessly, it could take forever and a day. Last night I used an archive copy of a file to install an application and it took well in excess of 90 minutes. I don't know the exact time except that this morning I woke up to find it completed. So wireless is not always painless.
Building is not the same as copy so that could be the reason for this. What would be interesting to know is whether you can check to see where it's writing wheter anything is being written.

How do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images?

Hi there,
here is my page http://www.allthingsprintuk.co.uk/ATPHome.html
My problem is that the side bar HTML list is coming off the page in IE. & also the html in the header can look awful due to browser settings.
My question is how do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images so that they fit with the HTML text? Is there a good link you can point me to, or a tutorial?
The only way I can see by doing it is slicing my images up into 3 (top middle & bottom) & then setting the middle to repeat y????
Or does anyone know of a way to create rounded corners WITH drop shadows in CSS that will work on all browsers?
Thanks in advance
Louisa

I am trying to create a polygon shape and place an image inside of it similar to this: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1f/47/51/1f4751aeb7c30099e4caf61393990fca.jpg
How do I go about doing it? Thanks!

Hi
You would need to design the image outside of Muse using any image editor like photoshop , where apply polygon frame on top of the image and area outside shape should match the color of the image of page, then insert the image on Muse page, it would be same effect. Currently we cannot create any shape in Muse , but you can try some customization using custom code.

Problems with ecrypted disk image

I'm trying to restore my laptop (Titanium DVI) from an encrypted disk image, and am having no luck. I have my laptop in target disk mode hooked up to a Mac Pro with the backup disk image.
When I use Disk Utility and attempt a restore, it prompts me for the disk image password, and it starts copying (and apparently succeeds in copying some items). But then after only a few seconds, it prompts me for the disk image password again, and I enter it again, and then I get an error 2, no such file or directory and it dies. After this subsequent attempts without rebooting result in error 16, Resource busy. Finder shows no disks mounted, but a ls of /Volumes shows that there are in fact copies mounted there. unmounting them from the command line does not clear the resource busy problem, but rebooting does.
I thought maybe the encryption is confusing things -- support for this seems sketchy. There seems to be no provision with command-line asr to deal with encrypted disk images. Also, hdiutil can do some things, but for instance I can't use convert to read the old disk image and create a new one, because it tries to apply the -stdinpass option to the new image, not the old one. I'd like to try making an unencrypted image to see if that is causing the problem.
edited to add that I'm doing an erase restore.

You choice. Since the immediate problem's was solved, you might want to start a new thread on the diskutil issue in the Unix forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735 and start a new one in the Using Mac OS X Tiger forum on any Disk Utility issues.

Disk Utility: new disk image takes forever- computer unresponsive-HELP!

Hello,
I'm using Disk Utility to create a "new disk image from folder." The folder is on one Lacie exernal usb drive, and the target location is another Lacie usb drive (150 GB free).
The folder is 55GB. After 3+ hours, the activity window still shows "creating image" though the progress bar has changed from blue to pulsating blue/white stripes and I have the spinning beach ball of death.
Computer is unresponsive and the only way to terminate is to press the pwr button until everything shuts off.
Why is disk utility hanging like this? (or does it take more than 3 hours to create an image 55GB in size?
I've had no issues with previously creating images, though these were all 15GB or smaller.

USB takes forever....the reason I got a Firewire Ext. Drive.
It's soooo much easier to make a clone doing the following.....
I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on PPC Macs but are on some Intel Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on PPC Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

New Disk Image - Says my iPhoto Library is locked?

I am using OS X 10.9.1. I created a new disk image so that I can share an iPhoto library between two different users on the same Mac. When I try and open iPhoto having linked the new library it says that I cannot because either the library or the disk is locked or I do not have permissions. I have checked the sharing set up for both the new library and the drive but I can not find anything wrong. Any suggestions?

directions are here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
However it generally is much more successful to use the external hard drive with ownership ignored option than the disk image option

HT4623 Hi, every body please help trying to update my I pad with new iOS but there is no soft wear update tab what I am doing wrong

Hi,
all trying to update my iPad with new iOS but when in the settings tab there is no software update tab
What I am doing wrong please or i,m going to throw it

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes as described half-way down the page that you posted from.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
A first gen iPad will be updated to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.1.3
