Uefi Partitions capture and restore with ZCM 11.2.4

Hello Everybody,
I'm able to capture all my partitions from a Microsoft SurfacePro2 to my ZCM 11.2.4 appliance.
The restore however is the problem. When I boot my restored machine Windows 8.1 goes into recovery modus.
Anybody some suggestions on how to Image and Restore UEFI partitions in general or on SurfacePro2 in particular?
Kind regards,
Wilco

I have heard of issues with Surface Pros before.
There are two possible issues......
#1 - 8.1 Is Currently Not Supported in ZCM.
ZCM 11.3.0, which is expected to ship shortly, will not immediately add
8.1 support but it is expected to be added via an Add-On patch to 11.3.0
prior to 11.3.1
#2 - The Surface Pro's BIOS may hide some partitions, which could cause
the restore to not work quite correctly. When looking at the Disk
Details inside of the Imaging Environment, does it show the proper disk
geometry and full size. If parts of the disk are "missing", this can
cause issues during restore.

Exclude folders during capture and restore with USMT

Hi,
As of now i am using default configuration for USMT to do capture and restore. Its USMT 5.0 (ADK 8.0)for xp -win7 and USMT 6.3 (ADK 8.1) for win7-win7. I want to exclude some folder during capture and restore. Can anyone point me to right direction which files
to modify and how to use files with USMT once modified ?
Its a offline(Winpe) hardlink migration .
Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks
Regards,

yes and you can make it an unconditional exclude also, or conditional if that suits you better, (for example if C:\Data\Temp exists, then exclude it...)
here's some examples of that

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

If I have another iphone and restore with my Mac, what happen with the FindMyIphone if I have two iPhone's with the same backup?

If I have another iphone and restore with my Mac, what happen with the FindMyIphone if I have two iPhone's with the same backup or sync with the same computer?

Capture and restore USMT options

Hi ,
I have Config manager 2012 R2 with MDT 2013 integrated TS.
I have 3 files defined in 'Capture User State' as Miguser.xml, migdocs.xml and custom.xml using 'customize how user profiles are captured' options. While restoring user state, can I just choose 'Restore all captured user profiles with standard options'
or is it mandatory to have 'customize how user profiles are restored' option selected with defining 3 same files?
any pointers will be appreciated.
Regards,

Add all XML files you added before (at Capture State) to restore User Files and Settings step.

How do I replace a failed hard drive and restore with time machine

My hard drive died on my 2009 MacBook Pro. I regularly backed up my data using Time Machine. How do I format the drive and restore fom my USB TimeMachine drive.

If you haven't made a Lion or Mt Lion install USB thumb drive or used the Recovery Disk assistant to make a USB thumb of the Recovery HD then you will need to boot the system from the original OS Install disk that came with the system or a Snow Leopard disk you bought to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Then use the option to restore from TM backup.
Or if you have made New backup since install Lion or Mt Lion then that Tm backup may have a copy of the Recovery HD on it. Only way to tell is connect your TM backup drive and when starting the system hold down the Option key and see if you get a link that says Recovery HD.

Create a GPT partition table and format with a large volume (solved)

Hello,
I'm having trouble creating a GPT partition table for a large volume (~6T). It is a RAID 5 (hardware) with 3 hard disk drives having a size of 3T each (thus the resulting 6T volume).
I tried creating a GPT partition table with gdisk but it just fails at creating it, stopping here (I've let it run for like 3 hours...):
Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/md126.
I also tried with parted but I get the same result. Out of luck, I created a GPT partition table from Windows 7 and 2 NTFS partitions (15G and the rest of space for the other) and it worked just fine. I then tried to format the 15G partition as ext4 but, as for gdisk, mkfs.ext4 will just never stop.

To make things clear: sda is an SSD on which Archlinux has been freshly installed (sda1 for root, sda2 for home, sda3 for swap), sde is a hard disk drive having Windows 7 installed on it. My goal with the 15G partition is to format it so I can mount /var on the HDD rather than on the SSD. The large volume will be for storage.
So if anyone has any suggestion that would help me out with this, I'd be glad to read.
Cheers

Well, I finally decided to use a software RAID as I will not share this partition with Windows anyway and it seems a better choice than the fake RAID.
Therefore, I used the mdadm utility to create my RAID 5:
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
# mkfs.ext4 -v -m .1 -b 4096 -E stride=32,stripe-width=64 /dev/md0
It works like a charm.

Reformatting and restoring with Time Machine

I want to reformat my hard drive to de-clutter and improve my computer's performance. I have been using Time Machine for a while to back everything up, so I thought I would just restore with it. But if I do that will I just be reinstalling all of my clutter? Does TM really put a hard drive back EXACTLY as it was before? Any suggestions?

yes, you will.
Does TM really put a hard drive back EXACTLY as it was before?
yes, it does.
Any suggestions?
do an erase and install and manually restore only what you need. pretty tedious but is the only way to achieve what you want. after you reinstall you can access your old TM backups in browse mode. control-click on TM in the Dock and choose "browse other TM disks". this will let you browse your old backups and restore what you want where you want to.

Image capture and send with post

Ok, like the title suggests, I have a lil paint function
drawing on a canvas in flex 2. What I need is to get that image all
captured and bundled up to send to asp.net VB. The site is here:
we are UNLIMITED .com Click on
start, then Draw, and you will get to play with that canvas. You
can draw all day, different brush sizes, colors, and erase. I need
a capture button there to get the image off the canvas into BYTE
format. Mainly what i need help on is sending that byte array from
flex to asp.net VB, and REALLY need help on catching that byte
array in asp.net VB and getting it to the point i save save it to
the server HDD via the file I/O. I have already been able to save
XML docs to the HDD with asp.net VB to be read by flex via the file
I/O. I really just need some asp.net vb code to do the "POST" catch
(or request), and get the image to PNG? format to be saved. This is
going to be a small paint program in flex, members can use to
create their avatar. I will be implementing say a crop, copy/paste,
drag and drop, resize and what not, to give my users more
flexability as far as what their image looks like. I'd really like
it to be as close to a basic "windows paint" program. But that's
another story. For some reason every time I look up passing
variables from flex (flash) to asp.net vb, it's POSTing form vars,
and really none of it has dealings with images. I know it's
probably really the same, but like I was trying to say, I just get
all kinds of confused with working with byte arrays and asp.net vb
and flex. I was actually supposed to have this site up and running
this past Aug, but with the swap to flex, the pains of membership
between flex and asp.net vb, and my general newbie beginnings of
this whole aspect of computers. Let's just say it's taken a bit
longer than expected.
So to recap from all my babbling:
I need to:
(flex)
Capture the image on that canvas (see link)
load to asp.net VB (pref. using POST)
(asp.net VB)
create an asp.net vb page to receive/request that image
reformat that image ( pref. PNG )
save the formatted image to the server HDD
This should be fairly simple, and I'm almost embarrassed to
ask for help. I've just been trying to work through this muck for
way too long, and I really need to get past this.
code snippets would be great, although just some good
resources to look at would be great too. I do entirely appreciate
any help in this matter.

Blu-Ray video capture and burning with G4 Power Book ??

Good afternoon.
Has anybody figured out this route with a G4?
If so, please explain in nauseating details! Hardware, software, etc.......
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your reply.
It's also my understanding that OS X doesn't natively offer Blu-Ray support, and that an external Blu-Ray player/burner is required (see OWC) along with capture and burning software (Toast 10).
I'm wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded.

Blank windows on minimise and restore with compiz on kf5

Hi,
Since I have updated to kf5, I am experiencing a problem with windows being blank except for the titlebar when I minimise and then restore them. I use compiz-core 0.8.10-1. If minimise and restore the window several times then I can get the window to redraw correctly, but it seems random as to when it redraws correctly and when it is blank. This does not seem to only happen in firefox, so far I have noticed this to happen with konsole, thunderbird and several other programs. Here is a screenshot of when it looks like when it is blank:
I have tried creating a new user and just enabling compiz, but the problem still occurs.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I have exactly the same problem with my 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen and have tried everything you have with no success (see http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531624&tstart=0)
It's definitely due to the itunes 9.2 update in June. I get the same itunes restore and sync errors you have on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It only starts restoring and syncing properly on Windows XP. I've tried downgrading to an itunes version that worked for me on Vista before, but Apple have updated the ipod touch firmware so that its not supported anymore by the earlier versions of itunes.
Apple phone support is a waste of time. They want to charge me £25 before they are interested in helping as they say my ipod is out of warranty - but its not the ipod that's broken, its the poorly written ITUNES, so why shouldn't I get free support for itunes even though my IPOD, which is perfectly fine, is out of warranty?!
Truth is, now apple has your money, they don't care...

Faulty Backup and Restore with IOS Upgrade

I was upgrading the IOS on my wife's iPhone 4 yesterday. I made one click to upgrade when iTunes recognized the upgrade was available. The process then backed up the iPhone, installed the upgrade, and Restored from the backup.
When the process was finished the iPhone had not been restored to where it was before the upgrade. Notes were not recovered and neither were text messages and other items.
I went back to attempt another restore thinking something had gone wrong and the last restore listed said "Date Unavailable".
I have no idea what happend and I made no choices other that to proceed with the IOS upgrade. Is there any way of determining information about that last restore and can I recover this missing data?

Dear user52,
Let me give an example.
SOURCEDB> create table dept(deptno number,dname varchar2(10)) tablespace PRODDATA;
Table created;
If I export this table from say some user and want to import to another database in user schema say USER52 and if either PRODDATA tablespace is present in destination database and USER52 does not have quota or PRODDATA is not at all present, then oracle will complain either by saying privilege not present to store the table or tablespace PRODDATA does not exist.

Capturing and saving with JMStudio

Hi there,
I want to capture and save video and audio using the JMStudio. Can someone tell me how this works.
After many other problems, now I can get a picture from my cam, but saving the stream to a file is what I need.
Greetings from Germany
and thanx in advance

You should look for
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/
and the sample of "Merging Tracks from Multiple Inputs"
shows how to save two or more input datasources and play.
May you change the source from vfw and jsound.
I think it's work but I still not tried. :)

Can't access old backups after reinstalling Lion and restoring with Migration Assistant

Scenario: App Store developed a random, repetitive, failure to update certain apps. After trying two different solutions which only worked for a couple of weeks (including archive uninstall) Apple Support and I decided to go the full hog and do a full Lion reinstall. Did a full final backup with TM and proceded to reinstall from the recovery partition. All went well. I gave my new account the same name as my old original one (and this might be the root of the glitch I will describe). When Lion was working again I used Migration Assistant to recover all the users, applications, and information.
As my new main account and my old one (coming from Mig Assist) had the same name, MigAssist asked if I wanted to merge them. I said "yes". All fine. Everything was apparently there.
Later that day I tried to access my bank and discovered that my 1Password db was an old version. I went to TM to retrieve the one from my pre-reinstall backup. As I had mapped my mac back to the sparsebunddle file in TC it seemed I had access to all my files going back 1.5 years. It showed my oldest backup as Sep 2010 and 700 gb used. All seemed normal.
Unfortunately, the purple bars before the moment of reinstall are all faded and I can't retrieve any information from them. Nothing before that moment is available, not from the Finder or from withing any other application.
My new merged main user appears as "carlos 1" when it should have been just "carlos".
Do you guys have any advice that could help me? Thank you in advance.
My TC is a 1TB 2009 one.

No, there is no "merge" option:
You can rename or replace, not merge.

You have two separate accounts now.
See Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation of what's happened (the blue and pink boxes) and a possible fix in the tan box -- but that won't work if you've done any backups since using Migration Assistant.
If you have done backups, your best bet is to do a full system restore, selecting the last backup from before you did the Migration. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.
