What does 'My Passport for Mac' back-up? Does it include my Word documents for example?

If I lost everything, would My Passport be able to reinstate my MacBook Pro in it's entirety?
It does not look like it contains much; therefore I am worried.
I have lots of data on my mbp, namely, Family Tree Maker software (from Ancestry.co.uk). It contains all my tree data, and lots and lots of Microsoft Word word-processed documents, eg, vast type-ups of Wills etc. They take ages to translate and I would hate to lose them. I also have lots of saved info downloaded from the net, e.g., photos and census stuff. Whilst I can see the FTM.app, I cannot open to see whats inside. I have 2 Trees on my software, but I can't see if they are in there for me to re-open from My Passport.
If my whole mbp is in My Passport, I can't see it.
If all the above are backed-up, if I change as much as a DoB on a Word document, will that document then be backed-up with the changes?
Quite basic questions for you Apple folk, but the answers would help me and others a great deal.
Thank you. Helen
My machine is: mbp, mid-2010; Mavericks. Version OS X 10.9.5.

Depends on the backup software you use, what backup strategy you implement, and what you need to backup. Where you will start at this point also depends on what you may have already backed up to the Passport and if you are using the pre-installed Passport software.
If you want every change you make to a document instantly backed up to the Passport, then you need the right software to do that (if it exists.) If you wish to use Time Machine that is part of OS X, then it backs up every hour but does not instantly backup a changed file. You would have to repartition and reformat the Passport in order to use Time Machine. Also, for Time Machine to work properly your Passport must be at least twice the capacity of your computer's drive. If is isn't, then you will have to decide upon a different type of software and backup strategy.

Text messages, MMS messages, email, music catalog, operating system settings, safari cache, siri cache, Genius data (if enabled), game center data -- esentially everything on your phone that isn't explicitely listed in the bar chart at the bottom of iTunes on your computer.
Sometimes there is also data corruption on the phone that ends up in Other. To get rid if it try restoring the phone with iTunes. If that makes no difference the corruption is in your backup; restore again as a new phone, then add content back.

What does As Is - To be document contain in relation to Apo Dp?

Hi Gurus,
I am new to Apo DP. What does As Is - To be document contain in relation to Apo Dp? Please explain in detail.
Sriram Madira

Sriram,
It depends on the project. Generally, it covers where is the client now, and what is the proposed solution you will be offering him. There is no 'right' answer to your question. 20 consultants will give you 20 different answers.
Level of detail varies between consulting companies and clients. It can be a 2 page overview, it can be a 100 page detailed analysis, and it can be anything inbetween.
The client may be starting with no Demand planning, legacy demand planning, some SAP ERP demand planning, or some existing APO demand planning that he wishes to enhance. During requirements gathering by the consulting company, the project team will document where the client stands now. Since I am pretty lazy, I don't usually spend a lot of effort on this portion of the document. In some cases, the consulting company will require the client to contribute to the As Is.
Once the consultant has fully researched what the client wishes to achieve from a business perspective, they then use their expert knowledge of APO DP to conceive of a comprehensive solution that will meet the client's requirements. Again, this could be a very general solution overview, very early in the project, or it may be rather detailed, if the client so requires. This doc is often produced before the prototype system, but sometimes after prototyping but before creating the initial attempt at a full solution in the Dev client.
Since you are new to DP, the task of creating the AI/TB doc will probably not be assigned to you directly, but more likely to a senior member of the team. Typically, the production of this doc is a milestone that requires some form of sign-off before proceeding. Talk to your team lead about what your company expects of you in this doc.

Material document 4900000006 does not include an accounting document

Hi guys
I created normal sales order, delivery and and released it thr VF01.
Then I created the RE document without order reference and PGR. But while checking the accounting documents in VL02N it gives the error as follows
Material document 4900000006 does not include an accounting document
Diagnosis
The system cannot find an accounting document for the material document 4900000006.
Possible reasons for this are:
The goods movement has no relevance to accounting. Therefore, the system did not generate an accounting document for the material document.
The material document is a document that was posted before Release 2.1. Such documents must be converted so that the system can find the relevant accounting document.
The procedure for the subsequent calculation of value is not active in your system. For further information, refer to the documentation on the program for valuating goods movements: RM07MWBU.
Procedure
Choose Continue and then choose another function.
Find out when the material document was created. If the document was created prior to the Release changeover, ask your system administrator to carry out the conversion of the documents. The individual steps required for document conversion are described in the Release Notes for Release 2.1B
Please give me the solution
Thanks in advance
Rahul

What does the included DTS do?

Hi,
I have a new eXcite Write, updated to Android 4.3.
The enabled "Audio Enhancement" in the configuration has a list of DTS options, I have all of them enabled, and not enabled any of the Toshiba options (Audio Enhancement Pro, etc.)
The device can't play DTS media. Is this expected?
The device can't play the Dolby Digital demo, which uses DD+ (a.k.a. EAC3).
I haven't seen a mention (in the manual, brochure, or any where) to the required license for "Dolby enabled devices". So, what does DTS do on this tablet?
Thanks.

The site is not very clear about Flex. Does it include Flex? Which version? What about Air 3.5?

No replies; really? Doesn't anyone have problems with SAP ECC using calendar days as replenishment lead time in its MM while in SD it uses work days?

Numbering what I want (picture for example)

Hello I am trying to write every thing I did with Word with Pages 08.
I have to write a report. So I want to put some pictures in it. But I want to numbering its, for example if I put a picture I would like to have :
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXX Picture XXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Schema number 2 : my map.
But if I put a picture in the middle of my report I want every Schema [] to be updated automatically (and same if I delete a picture). The reason is very simple, if I put a have 40 pictures and if I add one I do not want to change 30 label.
I know that with Word I only need to right-click on a picture and press "add legend" (I am not sure for the translation). And I decide if I prefer "figure X" or "X figure" etc... and the numbering will be build automatically.
For the moment I only succeed in adding I title with a list numbering after every picture (but that's very bad).
Thanks a lot. I you have any ideas or devices every things are welcoming.

I have searching every where about this possibility but it appears nowhere.
So I begin to think like you : that it is not exist under Pages 08.
But I if any one have a solution (I do not know, a special use case of the numbers list for example).
thanks.

Export to Word, Text does not appear in Word document

I have created a document in Pages which needs a table as part of it. I need to convert it to Word for work but when I use the Export to Word function it creates the Word Doc file but the table is blank - no text in the table at all? (Other text outside of the table is created).
Apart from that the formatting is not as it should be and some text (outside of the table) is incorrectly placed on the Doc file.
My fall back up to now has been to export to pdf (which works perfectly) and email that, but that stops it being edited at work.
Where should I be looking to make sure the text in the table in pages is exported to the Word document?
Or amn I expecting too much?
I am using a retina iMac, Yosemite OSX. Thanks.

Pages v5 (any version) is none of the following:
Word clone
Predictable
Professional/business grade software
Complete
Entirely debugged
Thoroughly documented
Many have, and continue to report export problems with Pages v5. Since we cannot peer over your shoulder as you enter text in a table, or if you tried to make the table behave as if in MS Word, the best bet would be to drop Pages entirely and use MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 (update 14.4.7 or later). Then you will be able to stop gambling with document conversion, work in the native Word .docx format, and recover some lost productivity. Word, not Apple's Pages, is the corporate word processing standard — for a reason.

My phone keeps saying I am running low on storage space. Over half of the contents in it is in the "other" category. what does that include? I wish to have more music

I have a 16GB iphone but am an avid music lover. I own tons of music. I have iMatch and iCloud. As of right now my phone says I only use about half of the storage space on it in audio. Very litle is used for apps or pictures. I have another half of the storage space in a category called "Other". What is in that category? I would really like to add more music however my storage keeps stating I am almost full and need to manage. I would delete things if I thought it would make more room but it seems to take very little room off when I remove apps and pictures and does not really affect the other category. Someone please help describe what is in that category and how I can change add more room. Thank you!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Do all products come with an automatic 1 year warranty and what does it include

My phone fell with a cace on and the screen cracked so bad that the menu button popped off. I haven't had the phone for a year yet. What are the possibilities I can do to get another one or have it fixed through apple without paying full price?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Nothing is free. See this for reference:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
But, this is only generic. With hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, there is no way to tell you for sure what your carrier's plans will have. You need to talk to them.
Good luck!

I have tried repeatedly to use the Apple Hardware test on my iMac desktop 10.7.3 early 2009 4 GB with no luck. What am I doing wrong? I have everything I can think of unplugged. Do I need to disconnect BlueTooth in Preferences?
Thanks

I can't type my password the letters switched places, what shall I do, for example I get '_' instead of '*'. Please help!

Then, after I log in everything's fine again, so changing anything in system preferences doesn't really help. What can I do?

You could use Boot Camp to install Windows (XP or better) on your MBP. That would require a retail Windows install disk. After installing you can choose which OS you want to use at start up.
There are other solutions what will let you run Windows concurrently (at the same time) with Mac OS. The most common are VMware Fusion and Parallels. Both are commercial Mac apps. I believe there is an open source app that is similar but somewhat more cumbersome. Bootcamp is free - it comes with every Mac. VMware and Parallels cost in addition to the cost of a Windows install disk.
Hope this helps.

What does it mean that a document is "waiting" and why?

I just created a doument in Numbers on my mac and in the icloud window it shows the doument with a cloud icon next to it and the word "waiting". Why is it waiting after 10 minutes on a high speed wifi connection? It is going to sync ever or is this just an icloud failure or even a lie about its capabilities.
I really needed this doc on my mac, so I emailed it to myself and opened it in ios numbers. Why should that be faster than the vaunted icloud? Why is there no indication of a problem with icloud? Why is there no progress bar? It just works, yeah, right.
