TX2110us Heat Solution -- Or At Least Hope!

I have been refurbishing a TX2110us I own and when running HWMonitor found that the temperatures were horrid -- not that I hadn't noticed the heat in the machine and around the exhaust outlet. I searched the web and this site for answers and was disappointed not to find more solutions when so many people have the "heat" problem.
Over a long period of time, my CPUs were running as high as the 90's C. and the GPU running at a minimum of 90 C. and up to 165 C. under load. Not satisfactory.
After the research, I came to the conclusion that (1) the basic heat sink/cooling fan system was designed poorly and not removing enough heat; and (2) With no fan utility, I can see that the fan runs too slow most of the time given (1).
Since I am a hardware person, I decided to address (1) first. Using the "Maintenance and Service Guide" found under "Manuals" in the TX2110us info on Support at HP.com, I disassembled the laptop. (Read the docs and think about it good before you try it -- not impossible, but not a routine job either.) I found a lot of dust, dirt, etc. in the fan and exhaust ports and cleaned it all thoroughly and reassembled everything. I gained a few degrees, but not near enough.
Then I saw the report and video from South America where a U. S. penny was used as a spacer/heat sink and that rang a bell. I saw another where someone used folded tin foil -- ?????.
(1) I dissassembled the unit using the HP instructions.
(2) I cleaned the old thermal pad off the GPU (I had already cleaned up the CPU and put new thermal compound on it during the first cleanup).
(3) I put thermal compound on the nVidia chip and put a fresh, clean penny on it.
(4) Then I put compound on the top side of the penny (which was "heads" for good luck -- LOL) to bond it to the main heat sink.
(5) I put on the main heat sink, making sure everything was in place, seated and bonded together.
(6) Reassembled the laptop.
RESULT: Before the mod, the GPU has sat there at no load at 90 C. for a week and got 40-50 C. higher under load. Now it is idling at about 68-70 C. and at full load topping out about 90-91 C.
For now, I call the project a huge success -- only time will tell the longterm effects.
I would still like to find a fan utility where I could set the fan to run about half- to two-thirds speed at moderate load and full speed under heavy load -- which I am convinced would make the unit really cool.
I recognize HP probably would not care for this project, and I can only report what I did and what it did for me. If you attempt something like it, you are just as much on your own as I was. Fortunately, if things had gone south I already was out of warranty and the machine is not critical in my setup.
I hope this will spark others to find some better ideas and give HP the idea that these problems can be fixed with a minimum of engineering and a little ingenuity. (A special "real" copper spacer probably would have done even better!)
Good luck and God Bless!

Sounds as if you try to fix this within the arch community when it is a x.org problem...
Have you tried reporting the bug upstream?

A complaint in the hope of a solution, or at least some attention.

On May of 2011, an update to X.Org was pushed into core that made working with a netbook very difficult. I have an acer with 250gb HDD, 2GB RAM and a 1.6Ghz processor. For all but the most taxing tasks, it it quite snappy. The obvious limitation is the screen. Cue linux. There is a feature of X.Org that allows one to scale the screen upwards, to have a higher virtual resolution. I've used it to artificially upgrade video performance on laptops, desktops, and netbooks for a while. The syntax is as follows: xrandr --output [screen name] --mode [current resolution] --scale [decimal of scaling percentage] --panning [new resolution] For my 1024x600 screen, it is xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --scale 1.25x1.25 --panning 1280x750
Arch was for a long time my favorite linux distribution. The update in march made panning not work any more; the mouse becomes trapped within a border the size of the origional screen, situated in the upper left. When this update was pushed through, the arch forums were ablaze with help threads looking for an answer. I was the only one motivated enough to post a bug report. Despite the attention surrounding it, and the fact that it makes netbooks very hard to use, it was flagged as a low priority and ignored by the X.Org package maintainer.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24274
I did some testing to confirm it was not an intel driver update, but indeed the xorg package, and it is. I emailed the package maintainer, submitted a bug report, annoyed some devs on the freenode channel, and basically got referred from one dev to another as they all told me it wasn't their area of expertise and that I should fix it myself. Despite an attempt at teaching myself the entire X.org subsystem, I came up empty handed.The attention died down. I accepted that to use my netbook, I would have to switch distributions. I have been running gentoo with their X.Org updated to the same version and its working fine. It must be some patching done by the arch devs itself that broke it. Yes, this issue is that important to some of us that we will leave arch rather than have our computers crippled. Nowadays, all I hear about it is a tri-weekly comment on the bug report confirming it and asking why it has not been fixed.
Why hasn't it been fixed? I will try to fix it again, if any devs familar with X.Org would be willing to help me. I miss arch. I miss the speed. I miss the simplicity. I miss the adherance to the pilosophy of simplicity. May I ask that the people who maintain the package at least try to fix it?

*SOLUTION* to (at least some) "HP Scanjet Pro" problems in 10.6

Good day to everyone!
I have found a workaround for the problems experienced by people attempting to use HP Scanjet scanners (at least the 4850, which is what I use, I suspect greatly this will work for others as well).
Basically it is to install the earlier driver posted on HP's bewildering website.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=447374&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=447373&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219
They have a "driver" section above the "software" section that basically contains an earlier version of the Scan Pro software and Universal Driver for it. It's listed for Mac OS 10.3 - 10.4 only, however I can verify that it works correctly on my 10.6 install.
In fact, unbeknown to me, that had actually been the driver I'd been using all along in Mac OS 10.5 (I guess I upgraded when they made the initial universal binary for Mac OS 10.4 and never upgraded from that).
Anyway, for my HP Scanjet 4850, it works fine.

GNB-MAX-FISR Heat Solution

Thanks to a previous post and some other help, I think I've finally fixed my overheating problem (although MSI has yet to return my call.)
The GNB Max-FISR board defaults the Voltage under the "Frequency/Voltage Control" to 1.75. Apparently the max for the 3.06 Intel chip is 1.5.
Also, I had not applied thermal compound to the chip when attaching the heat sink.
After performing both functions the chip running full out hangs out around 60 degrees C. This information REALLY should be in FAQ!!!

it is a 350W power supply..
The DBraket reports all red in 1,3,4 and a green in 2.. the manual claims that the system will hang there if the memory module is bad or installed improperly..
i can't imagine that the memory is bad, since it's brand spanking new.. and i've seated and reseated them a thousand times..
do I have the wrong memory?
I have DDR266 PC2100.. the manual seems to suggest that it might only support DDR533 or DDR400..

Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

Hello,
It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action = the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Dear Lilybiri,
Thank you for your response.
1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
Kind regards,
Marvin

Fixing the macbook heat issue

Hi,
There is a fairly simple solution, to at least reduce the risk of damaging your macbook by letting it run at high temps. I bought my 2.0GHz macbook over the weekend, it was idling around 70 - 75 C. Thats a little high in my book.
I put the macbook on the vantec lap2cool laptop cooler that I have for my AMD64 HP laptop. Within about 30 minutes of running, the macbook was running between 42 C (idle) and 60 C (being taxed). Now the vantec is pretty cool, but its a little bulky for the little macbook.
I picked up a targus cooler for about $24 at the local walmart, its keeping it idle around 48 C, and under normal conditions (text mate, iTunes, Firefox, Thunderbird) its running around 54 C. The targus cooler is pretty quiet, slim, but a little cheap. They sell some high-powered solutions on newegg.com with better CFM and higher RPMs.
Now I'm sure a lot of typical mac users are going to have a fit about using a laptop cooler that makes the macbook a little bulker, but its way better than the damage your going to do to the macbook by running it hot on a daily basis!!

Intel processors (at least recent ones) are well known for having heat related issues. AMD processors offer better price/performance with reduced energy consumption and output. My HP zv5000z which is AMD64 based, has two large fans on the base, and kicks off a fair amount of heat exhaust. That however is heat thats NOT in my system. If I use it for games, then I'd be crazy not to have it hooked up to the Vantec Lap2Cool.
Apple in my opinion are taking a bit of a gamble. They've had to trade-off heat issues, performance with keeping the system quiet. To me, kicking the fans in on the macbook is a last ditch attempt to keep the system from keeling over, hence the loud noise (high RPM fans). What Apple is likely gambling over is that most users will run the machines in a "cool place" and the average user won't tax the system. Your business, designer, etc types aren't going to be playing games on it. They are gambling that the system will hold up to the level of heat abuse until the warranty runs out, or you purchase AppleCare. Either way, I assume they don't lose money.
In terms of melting, I seriously doubt you'll see physical melting of the system. What you are more likely to see is heat related damage to electric components (either the processors themselves) or surrounding components, resulting in system failure (or odd issues like display problems, random crashes etc). Lets just say its in the best interest of the health of your system to keep it cool.
The fact that Apple has corrected this on the MacBook Pros with firmware / hardware changes, would suggest there is some teething issues with the move over to Intel, and perhaps a shift in the type of customers buying the macbook.
With the market being so competitive, do you really think Apple is going to say -- "Hey these Macbooks look nice, but they overheat, you need to get Apple Care because they'll fail sooner than expected, and you should buy a laptop cooler to extend the life of the product". This adds what $300.00 to the price of the laptop, thats already slightly higher than lightweight options from vendors such as Dell, HP etc. When you go to the Apple Store and the person working there insists that you should buy Apple Care because the system is going to fail sooner rather than later, that tells you something right there.
Now if a laptop cooler keeps the system running between 43 C and 60 C instead of 60 C and 90 C, then aside from your own comfort with the thing on your lap, keeping the system cool is a good idea. Unless you like to return things to the Apple store?

HP Solution Center device installation not complete

I have a PhotoSmart C7280 all-in-one printer running as an Ethernet networked printer. My personal PC is an HP Pavilion Slimline s5280t running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I've had the printer for longer than I've had the Pavilion. I use HP Solution Center at least once a month to copy documents to PDF for a volunteer job I have. Yesterday I tried to use it, and got the "device installation not complete" error. Uninstalling and reinstalling HP Solution Center didn't work. I did some research on the forums, and found the discussion of "the folders that start with 7Z."
I ran the Uninstall_L3.bat last night. It uninstalled everything. I then downloaded the drivers from the HP site, again. When I ran the install, it failed because "a file is missing." It didn't say what file. It created a "solution" for me, basically of going through all the steps to make sure that the printer and router were working (they are) and the printer was on the network (it is). I then downloaded the drivers AGAIN and AGAIN got a "file missing" error on the install. And my printer has been uninstalled. And I have a NEW suggestion from HP that I should reinstall after turning off all my startup tasks and rebooting.
If the driver package for the C7280 is defective, and right now I'd bet money that it is, telling me to turn off my startup list, which hasn't changed in months, is not going to help. Because my printer is out of warranty (hey, my PC is out of warranty), I don't expect any help from HP. I'm hoping that some other user will be able to suggest something that will work. I'm about ready to go back to the CD that came with the printer and install from that. Help?
This question was solved.

Sorry you have had such a difficult time getting Solution Center to work. You have certainly done all the basic and advanced steps to get this to work. I always keep a forum post stored on my computer that takes troubleshooting Solution Center to a different level of advanced.
--Problems Installing HP Solution Center - SOLUTION FOUND!--
I recommend reading this post thoroughly to review the comments and see how the steps play out and how certain problems are exposed. It certainly discusses the missing files you referenced.
I usually just scan using Paint or Windows Fax and Scan once I can print as it is just a little easier than working in the registry of an HP computer. So please do be careful if you choose to go into the registry.
First thing's first, I recommend creating another User Account in the Control panel with admin rights, then running the installation disk in the second user account before attempting anything in the above forum post. This will eliminate any conflicts from previous attempts on the main User Account.
I really hope this works for you! Let me know of any error messages you may get during the installation with the disk.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
Every problem has a solution!

Does gaming heat up your mac and how can i stop it from heating up so quick?

can someone help?

First than all, depends on the specs of the Mac you own. As an experience, my MacbookPro Mid 2012, heats up after 20 minutes of using the game (with very high graphics), but I have a solution that I can tell you.
This solution is called SmcFanControl. It's an app that allows you to increase the RPM's (Revolutions Per Minute) of your Mac's Fan, which prevents it of heating up so quickly.
Hope this helps you!
Later.

Laptop Over Heating

Hey..I need Help wid my Laptop.Its over heating at times.And It gets off while playing games.I want to know the possible causes of the problem.
Thank You!

Many times a laptop overheating is directly related to the cooling of the processor. The main culprit is the fan. The fan sucks in air from the bottom and blows it out the side. It will also suck in hair, dust, and other debris. That stuff often gets trapped by the heat sink and over time builds up in a layer which chokes off the cool air going to the processor making the fan work harder.
What I recommend is getting some canned air and blowing out the vents in the side and bottom of the laptop. If after doing this you still have problems with over-heating, and your laptop is in warranty, you can take your laptop to a HP Authorized Service Center and ask them to clean the fan and heatsink. You can check your warranty here:
http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/ewarranty/warrantyResults.do?admit=109447627+1286541891570+28353475
If it is out of warranty, consider searching for the maintenance manual for your specific model, in the manual there are schematics for taking apart the laptop. Cleaning the fan is much easier that removing a motherboard, so don't feel to intimidated by the idea. Also you can remove the heatsink and then remove the thermal grease and apply a new layer which also helps alleviate heat related issues.

My iPad mini won't work at room temperature. I have to warm it up in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes before the screen works correctly. Anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

Two or three weeks ago, I had a cracked screen replaced on my iPad Mini 2 with retina display (32G). It worked perfectly for 2-3 weeks, so I don't know how relevant the screen repair is. Anyway, the iPad is currently running iOS 8.1.3. I completely reset it because I want to sell it, but recently, the screen display started to have issues. One afternoon I turned it on and the screen was a faint gray with vertical streaks that went away after I turned it off then back on. That night, the screen would stay black when I tried to turn it on. It was a different black to being off, though. When I try to turn it on it changes to a brighter black, if that makes sense. I can see a change in the shade of black, but there's no color or app icons. The sound works even when the screen doesn't. The only way I can get it to turn on properly is if I hold it in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes. I think the heat from my hands has something to do with it. It's just weird that regular room temperature seems to be too cold. We've had a cold winter in NY this year and my iPad may have spent 1-2 hours in my cold car the day this happened, but I can't say for sure. Has anyone else heard of this issue or does anyone have a solution?

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

Can't Install Solution Manager on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 - JAVA

Hello everyone!
I've been trying to complete the pre-requisites in order to install Solution Manager SR2 on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 x64 - SP1.
There's only one last condition that I haven't met, and it's the Java Runtime Environment version...
I checked the recommended note 867110 and it says that i need to have installed the J2SDK 1.4.2_08.
SLES10 includes the 1.4.2_13, so I had to uninstall it, and download the right version from Sun Microsystem's official webpage.
When I installed the version 1.4.2_08, i'm not able to run SAPINST because there's no Java Runtime Environment running on the server.
I started to investigate and I found in some forums [NOT EXPLICITLY] that there's no port for J2SDK 1.4.2_08 on x64 linux systems.
I can't believe this is true because SLES10 is recommended by SAP to install Solution Manager, so I hope somebody can help me on this.
My specific question is: Does anybody know if is true that J2SDK 1.4.2_08 is NOT COMPATIBLE with x64 Linux?
In case of being true, is there any way to be able to run SAPINST ? because if I enable the version SLES brings built in, i'm able to run the SAPINST but it detects that i'm not running version 1.4.2_08 and doesn't allow me to continue installation.
I hope somebody can help me soon...
Regards!

> SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-s390-142/jre/bin:$PATH
>
> JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-s390-142/jre/bin:$PATH
You downloaded the wrong version - the one you have is for Z-Linux(Linux running on the mainframe - not for x64).
You need to download the x86_64 (or AMD64) version.
Install the correct one and try on a new console:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Then execute
java -fullversion
and it should show the correct version.

Error message in "Check Solution Manager"

I'm running SolMan EHP1 SP6. The BI repository and Solution Manager are running on the same box. The BI repository is loaded in client 001. The System SID is PS4.
I'm performing the "Diagnostic Self Check" in Root Cause Analysis. When I select the "Check Solution Manager" button I'm getting an error message
Text = BI Setup check 'MYSELF_DEST' failed - Reason: ;Incorrect client 300; use BI client 001
Action = The CCMSBISETUP job was not completed successfully. Please run CCMSBISETUP again from the transaction solman_admin and/or adjust the corresponding BI objects in RSA1 if necessary.
In RSA1 the source system is defined as PS4CLNT001. So I'm not sure what the problem is.
It is my understanding that I can configure CCMSBISETUP in solman_workcenter by selecting "System Monitoring", then Setup, then Configure IT Performance Reporting. When I do this the default value for RFC destination from Solution Manager to BI: is set to NONE
The system requires and entry for the RFC destination from BI to Solution Manager - Does anybody know what RFC destination belongs here?

Hi,
The CCMSBISETUP job was not completed successfully. Please run
CCMSBISETUP again from the transaction solman_admin and/or adjust the
corresponding BI objects in RSA1 if necessary.
Alternatively, please perform again Initial and Basic configuration
for SolMan by running transaction solman_setup. This should solve the
issue.
Notice that you must have the latest version (13) of SAP Note 1405878
applied in the solution manager system.
Hope this helps.

Can't find solution to back up error -402653081, can anyone help?

Was trying to update and backup an iPod touch. Received an error message stating error occurred during back up -402653081. Can anyone help with this?

susanthehuman said in macrumors.com:
"I started removing my apps in batches (like the person above, I was unable to tell which app was in process when the backup failed). I managed to remove all non-apple apps from the device - and all apple apps that had not been in the device on delivery - and the backup still failed with the above error.
Then I power cycled it - I had done this at the beginning of the problem, with no success, but when I power cycled it after all the app removals guess what, it worked.
Sadly, by that point I had pretty much wiped everything anyway by removing the apps, so I'm basically starting over. Such is life. But at least it works, and the features are nifty."
That's probably not the ideal solution but at least it worked

Is there a solution for Time Machine error?

I got an error in Time Machine saying backup had failed, a couple of days ago. Spent the next day or two trawling the web and found thousands of postings from people with the same error, but no solution.
(At least, some people had a solution - they were using PC-formatted hard drives.)
I've been using Time Machine for a few weeks, and it has only now taken a dislike to my external hard drive, which is connected by FireWire.
Is there a solution to this problem, or should I revert to using SuperDuper, which I was using successfully before?
I haven't put in lots of information about the apps I'm running, because this is a general query rather than a specific one. If there's a solution, I'll use it; otherwise I'll wipe the drive and go back to using SuperDuper.

Pondini - Thank you for your slightly hostile reply.
On the contrary. The statement was: +"found thousands of postings from people with the same error, but no solution."+ I don't know where you found thousands of posts -- there are many here, but certainly not thousands. If you're talking about, say, a Google search, if you actually look at them, many are duplicates, unrelated to your problem, or unrelated to Macs at all -- and there are a number of solutions that seem to have fixed many of the real ones.
The error message was the standard one: "Time Machine Error - Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
There's most likely another, better message in your logs. Thus the suggestion about Time Machine Buddy. You can also use the Console app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Click on Show Log List, then navigate in the sidebar to your system.log (or system.log.0.bz2, etc. for previous ones). You can filter for backupd to get the same TM messages as the widget, but I prefer to view the full log at the date/time in question, as messages from other concurrent processes may have a clue.
I've gone through the suggestions in some of the helpful replies to those thousands of postings, by wiping my drive, erasing it and reformatting it, first in two partitions using the GUID method in Disk Utility, then in a single partition. But Time Machine still doesn't want to back up to it.
Sounds a bit like a problem communicating with the drive. The logs may clarify that.
The hard drive of my computer is 250GB; the external drive is 300GB. Both are SATA drives; the external is connected by FireWire.
How full are they?
Thanks for your suggestion of downloading the Time Machine Buddy widget; I'll give it a last try tonight.
What is the difference between a SuperDuper clone and a Time Machine backup?
The initial backup of both copies almost everything on your HD, excluding only some caches, temp files, etc., although you can exclude other things. This takes quite a while, of course. Thereafter, only the items that changed are backed-up.
SuperDuper (and CarbonCopyCloner, which I use, and other, similar apps) are most often used to make bootable "clones" identical copies of your HD -- if your HD fails, you can boot and run from them immediately. With TM, once your HD is repaired/replaced, you restore your system to it from your TM backup.
Score one for the clones, but TM has it's advantages, too (which is why many of us run both).
First is, CCC and SD look at every file and folder on your HD to see what changed. This is quite time-consuming and CPU-intensive, so most of us run it once a day (or less often), usually automatically at, say, 3 am. TM, however, runs hourly, but uses an internal File System Event Log of changes, so it is far quicker and less intrusive. There are exceptions, but most users rarely even notice the backups unless they see the icon revolving. On my small system, for example, TM rarely runs over 30 seconds; CCC is at least 15 minutes.
Second, not only does TM keep previous versions of changed files, but it manages the space and backups for you. It keeps those hourly backups for 24 hours; except the first of the day becomes a daily backup which is kept for a month; one per week becomes a weekly backup that is kept for as long as there's space (it will fill the drive/partition). But it's smart enough, as it deletes the old weeklies, that it won't delete it's copy of anything that still exists on your HD.
There isn't room to have two 250GB sections on a 300GB drive. I suppose I could get another 250GB drive - I have an IDE enclosure somewhere - but I don't fancy the expense right now.
Your CCC or SD partition only needs to be as large as your HD, although in a pinch it only needs to be somewhat larger than what's actually used on your HD. If you don't have room for both on the one drive, an even better solution might be to get a pair of smaller portable HDs for CCC/SD. Use one daily for, say, a week, then take it to your safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc. and start with the other. Now you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines, etc.
