Very wrong "data to back-up" number...

I just started a full back-up of my MacBook. It has a 120GB drive, with 70GB in use. Time Machine is saying its going to back up 412GB. Huh???? Why would it get something so basic so wrong?
I've gotten a couple of errors trying to back-up, so this is my third attempt. Maybe something didn't clear out from before? I'm using a Time Capsule, and on each failed attempt I've made sure TM wasn't backing up, then deleted the disk image used to hold the back-ups from the TC drive, reselected the TC, then initiated the backup. How do I completely start from scratch?

Hello there Cinfulle1,
I was thinking that either 1 of 2 situations is happening. First, recommend restarting the iPad. Sounds simple, but thats usually the first place to start when troubleshooting. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Second, you get 5 GB free storage and if I understand correctly you doubled that to 10 GB. One of the items that iCloud backs up is the Camera roll and I am thinking that there may be a lot in there using up lots of space. Check out this article that outlines where to look on the iPad and configure your icloud backups named iCloud: Backup and restore overview found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859.
You can select which applications back up their data and see how much storage space each application is using:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings
Tap iCloud
Tap Storage & Backup
Tap Manage Storage
Select the device you want to manage
If it does turn out to be the Camera Roll eating all the space, you could copy the content to your computer to back it up there, and turn off camera roll in the section outlined above.
All the best,
Sterling

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone (4S) with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back what you can from there

Calendar app icon is displaying the wrong date

For some reason on my iPhone's homescreen the icon for the Calendar app has today started displaying the wrong date.
It should show today's date, Monday 6th but instead it reads Sunday 5th.
What confuses me is that the phone does know the date is Monday 6th as the lock screen shows it correctly and also when I actually load the Calendar app it starts on the right date. Also, when I load the multi task bar the Calendar app icon there is correct. See the attached photo, which shows the Calendar app on the home screen (faded, middle left) displaying yesterdays date Sunday 5th, while the app icon in the multi task bar is correct, Monday 6th.
Syncing the calendar with my iMac does not correct the error. Equally, turning the phone off and on again has not sorted it.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the fault? And more importantly how to correct it?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion DaVBMan, sadly it didn't work. The only thing that did work was to wait until midnight and it corrected itself. In the mind of the phone it lived a whole day twice and then skipped one completely in order to get back on track. Very odd and also I have since discovered it has happened to a few of my friends too.
It's not happened again so I have no idea what so ever what caused it. Fingers crossed it never recurs.

How to correct wrong data in SIS info structures

Hi,
Let's say at some point in time I configured the LIS wrongly such that the Sxxx (e.g. S001) tables were wrongly updated when I completed the sales order.
So now I go back to the LIS configuration to correct it, the Sxxx tables data remain the same.
Anybody knows which program I should run to correct the wrong data in the Sxxx tables? I have search in OSS notes and in this forum but could not find.
Thanks!

Hi Hweeling,
You can remove the incorrect data from info-structure using transaction OLIX.
Then you can reload the data using transactions:
OLI7 : Sales Order
OLI8 : Delivery
OLI9 : Billing
Be very careful when you execute transaction OLIX, delete only the specific Sales Document data which you want to. Then also reload those specific Sales Document data.
Hope this helps ...if yes then pls reward liberally
Kind Regards

ICal Displaying Wrong Date

since last night's time change, iCal has displayed the wrong date. in the dock it shows yesterday's date (nov. 3rd) until i open iCal when it switches to today (nov 4th) until I close it again and it goes back to yesterday.

I have found iCal has displayed the wrong date in the dock a number of times since installing Leopard. It was doing so again now (yesterday's date) until I quit and reloaded it.
I'm not sure what triggers the behaviour but it tends to reflect the day I opened iCal.

Wrong Dates in Sent Folder

After doing a clean install of 10.5 and importing all of my mail messages from my .mac account, I noticed that many of the messages in my sent folder had the wrong date. Apparently they were marked with the date on which I first synchronized my 10.5 Mail with my .mac account. I've since tried to rebuild that folder, and when I do that, those problematic messages show up as sent "Today" at the time I rebuilt, even though many of them are nearly a year old. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I've read several threads regarding problems with the sent folder, but none with this specific date problem.
Thanks.
One more thing...
All sent message show up with the correct date when I access the sent folder online through .mac.
Message was edited by: James Casey1

I tried several experiments and noticed that if you move the messages in "sent messages" with wrong dates to another folder (for example to the "inbox") then they get back to their correct date.
Apparently rebuilding mail boxes at this point doesn't fix anything, as if you move the messages into "sent messages" again then the date gets wrong again.
Funny enough, when the message is back into "sent messages" and appears there with the wrong date, if you make a text search FROM THE INBOX on all folders in the search results these messages will appear as located in "sent messages" with THE RIGHT DATE!!! Doing the same search when you are in "sent messages" will show the message with the wrong date!!!
So I am now sure there is BIG BUG in Mail about this.
So unless Apple fix this, I guess the only way is to put all the messages from your "sent messages" with wrong dates in a folder where they appear with the correct date, save or export your "sent messages" folder messages, delete entirely your "sent messages" folder, and reload all you "sent messages" again.
However I have no safe procedure for this and it won't prevent the bug to reoccur later on...

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

Report returns wrong data when run on server

Hi,
I'm runing CRS XI R2 on Windows Server 2003 SP2. When I refresh a report in the Crystal Reports XI Designer, I'm getting correct data. But when I schedule the report to run on the server it returns wrong data. The data is different from what I see when I refresh it from the designer. In the report I have running totals set up to count customers that meet a certain criteria. The report is very large. It take almost 2 hours to refresh.
I was wondering what is causing the difference in running total data between refreshing it on the designer and running it on the server. Is it returning wrong data b/c of it not reading all the records? Should I be making any changes to the server settings? I saw that under pageserver, there are options for setting the 'Minutes Before an Idle Report Job is Closed' and 'Database Records To Read When Previewing Or Refreshing a Report". Do either of those have anything to do with the report returning incorrect data when being scheduled to run on the server?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Xuandao,
You would need to Use Cell Binding and Trigger concept to accomplish this.
Its simple, however, you would have to work on a trial and error basis to understand this concept as implementing the same is subject to your dashboard and WEBI Design.
Open you LiveOffice.
Insert your WEBI, Now, go to Object Properties of your WEBI, select the second tab that says Prompt, Here, it lists the prompts that you have for your WEBI. This would also enlist your BEx variables as well. Select this BEx variable and click on the button that says Prompt at the bottom of this window. Here, select choose Excel Data Range and click on the cell select button on the right (small button that lets you choose what cell you want to bind this prompt to), Now select a free cell that would not be even populated later on when you run the dashboard say A1 (remember the value that you select). Click on OK and again OK. The WEBI Refreshes and you can see all the prompt values at the cell A1. These are all the possible values stored for your BEx prompt variables (these values are fetched from BW system dynamically).
Now, save this LiveOffice, Go to you dashboard. Connect your dashboard to your Live office. Go to Data-> connections-> Now, select the WEBI and in the right hand pane go to Usage tab, here, Click on Trigger cell button on the right hand side and select A1 in you LiveOffice.
It should work fine.
Let me know.

Wrong date: January -- October

As a replacement for my old Eudora, I tried Mail app today. With my Intel Mini it works great. However, with my G4 Mini, new mails are dated January 2007 instead of October 2007. Messages are even recognized as from 'Today' while having January 2007 as the date. Because dates are OK on my other Mini, I guess this is not a server issue.
View > Message > Raw Source shows the right date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 11:38:09 +0200.

1. Mail shows email from the future: received mail dated 27/10/2007. In Entourage the same mail is dated 27/01/2007. All other months are OK. Remember we use European date settings (dd/mm/yyyy). Therefore I guesed something goes wrong with the dateformat.
2. When I exported the mail form Entourage to .eml on my desktop the date in the mailheader showed 27/01/2007. So I figured the error occurs in Mail App. the same thing happened when I moved the mail directiy to my Imap folder in dotmac from inside Entrourage.
3. However looking in the source information of the mail it showed not the date of the mail header but an entirely different date. Therefore I concluded that the root of the error in not Mail App or Dotmac (allthough those could also be wrong...)
4. For exporting my mail from Outlook2007 to Entourage I used the tool O2M from Light Machines. Checking their help produced the following information:
"Entourage shows the wrong date for imported emails
This is an Entourage bug, but we created a workaround for it in O2M 1.02. If you're not sure which version of O2M you have, run O2M and check the version number in the program's title bar. If the version number doesn't say 1.02 or higher, download a new copy of O2M, install it over your old copy, and export your Outlook mail again — the date problem will be fixed when you import your newly exported mail into Entourage." and additionally:
"Mail shows the wrong date for imported emails
It may be your email has non-US date formats to begin with. If this is the case, you may want to change your date settings on both your Windows and Macintosh machines to US/English before performing your conversion and importing operations.
O2M converts US/English dates to the standard MBOX format. If the date in the header is formatted differently from the US/English version of Outlook, the dates may not convert well. We don't currently support date formats other than US/English."
5. Conclusion: I have to live with this as my XP machine is already used elsewhere.

Why is CS4 putting wrong dates on files?

Moved my CS4 from XP computer to new Windows7 computer. All seemed fine for a week.
Now when I create or change a file, it does not put correct date on file (e.g., instead of 5/30/11 it will put 3/26/10 or on 6/2 it will show a date of 5/3/11 on the file). Wrong date shows in Explorer too but when I right click the file, the correct date is shown in properties. I can open the file in Adobe if I type in the filename.
System date, clock, etc. are all fine. No other program (Access, Word, Flash) does this
Don't know if there's a connection but I did move over my preference/preset files from the XP just before this happens. I'd appreciate any help....thanks

Aha! Your Explorer view is displaying the Date Taken, which is of course the date the image was originally captured (and which is stored in the EXIF data within the file).
That it is different from the Modification Date normally seen in Details view is because Explorer tries to show you a view of your files that can differ depending on the types of files it senses you have in the folder. A real head-scratcher if you don't expect it.
You can alter this behavior, on a folder by folder basis, by right-clicking the folder, choosing Properties, clicking the Customize tab, then choosing General Items.
What many don't know is that you can set the behavior Windows-wide to ALWAYS show General Items views for all new folders (i.e., circumventing the derivation of what Customization to make by looking at the files) by this process, excerpted from my Windows 7 tuning guide. Note that it involves adding an item to the registry with regedit - BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS:
Configure Explorer
Do not set Folder Types but use "General Items" for all by adding the following string value to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\
Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
FolderType REG_SZ NotSpecified

Some times I get a wrong data in my source file (above 4 and 5 th rows) .
My requirement is to remove these kind of wrong lines(entire lines to be removed) whenever XI reads the data. For this what is the standard function i can use in mapping. I thought I can create my own function to remove such kind of false data lines. It would be helpful for me if some body provide me the java code.
Thanks very much.

is it the .txt file you are keeping. Or the input in your mapping.
You just Tell your requirement properly.
If it is input in Mapping. Map like this
input ----->subtring( starting position 0 andNumber of characters 30) ---->Output
substring is a standard Text function.
Thanks.

Exit button not working when entering wrong date

how do I get the message not to appear by day Invalid (Frm-50004) in forms

dear Shrikant,
i have one item start_date whose data type is Date and format mask is DD/MM/RRRR ,
when i m entering worng date it is showing below message which i kept on ON-ERROR trigger of start_date item with an error code 50004 ;
"FRM-50004: Day must be between 1 and last of month."
as i m entering wrong date i want to exit my form but my exit button is not working properly.
The message appears several times, about 3 or 4 times, because the focus is on the text item to the date, and is firing the trigger ON-ERROR, debugging the code, you notice that after the message back running the line "IF", because the error frm-50004 can not be erased, is giving this error all the time because the focus is on her text item!
i have kept my push buttons mouse and keyboard navigation property to "NO".
then also it is not working tell me if any solution is there.

Error: "Wrong Data" in Burst Distribution using ReportServer 10.1.2.0.2

Hi All,
I have a sporadic problem with the burst distribution of ASCII-Files with ReportServer 10.1.2.0.2 and would like to know if this is fixed in 10.1.2.0.3
(I already checked the bug list, but it does not seem to be on there).
So here goes:
I have a small report which is run "pretty often", selecting data for different customers and bursting it into separate files by a so called "telebox" number as discriminator.
The report is run with the following "simple" distribution file:
<destinations>
<foreach>
 <file id="a1" name="/&<gdateiname>"
 format="ascii" instance="this">
 <include src="report"/>
 </file>
</foreach>
</destinations>
gdateiname is a formula column containing the telebox number calculated in the Group referenced in the "repeat on"-property of the relevant main section of the report (header and tail are empty).
This works pretty good except sporadically, files get created which are of exactly the same size, and the data contained is identical. In these cases, for example, 6 files get generated, of which 5 are correct and one is an exact duplicate (though with different filename containing the "telebox") of one of the others.
Any ideas ?
I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance,...
Jens Rettig

My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date?

My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date for stored events - even though i have put the appointment in on the right date when I look it up a week or so later it has changed?
I think it might be showing 2011 date? How can i fix this and do I have back-up of my original dates?

Good to hear . Happy computing!

Very wrong "data to back-up" number...
