Which is good: ejecting or standby mode for EHD's?

After a session at the computer, I have this dilemna: how to close down the session. At this present moment of time, I have a thunderbolt, a 2TB FW LaCie, and three Seagate [2 USB] EHD's all connected to my Mac. All the three Seagate drives have been allocated backup roles via CCC and TM.
In this scenario, what should be the manner of my quitting a session at the computer? Will keeping the EHD's in a standby mode for prolonged periods damage them?
Also, I would like to know what is the difference between mounting/unmounting of a drive and ejection of drive?

I need to tackle my own 'temporary laziness' and take time to do these things: eject the thunderbolt drive which I use for editing videos in FCPX. [After doing an 'eject' do I have to also disconnect the power supply by pulling out the thunderbolt cable from the drive? By so doing, the CCC based backup would not take place.
No it should go into standby without disconnecting it.
That is correct, if it is disconnected then CCC will not backup. If you are using the same drive for editing and CCC, then you will need to test it to see if CCC will bring it backup from standby. If not, then maybe that is not a good combination of uses for one drive.

My LaCie has a power switch. Is it okay to directly switch it off or do I have to first click upon its desktop icon and eject it? But if I switch off its power, then will CCC automatically start up the power and at its set time backup the data on this Lacie to its concerned backup drive, a Seagate?
No you should first Eject it before Switching it off.
No CCC will not turn it back on.
No

The 2 other Seagate drives also have got some functions to do regarding backups. These Seagate drives have no power switches. Should I just eject these drives and keep their power cables on or do I have to also have to remove their power supply cables from the drives after they are ejected.
As with any automated backup, the drive(s) must be connected and powered on in order for the automated backup to take place.

Further guidance and instructions in these matters will be highly appreciated.
While I also get a little anal about backup, I do like to save power whenever I can.
To be honest, I would probably only use the Thunderbolt drive for editing and keep one other drive online to back it up. Then rotate the other drives in and out on a daily or weekly basis keeping them off line, off site or at least in a firesafe.
Keep at least one or two aces up your sleeve! Heck' a single lighting strike, power surge or simple mistake could take out everything in the blink of an eye if it's all hooked together and running.

I have a CD which refuses to eject - no icon appeared for it, tried to eject and no response at all - can't even hear it trying, not showing on iTunes and any attempt to eject thro iTunes or any other programme seizes everything up

Sorting out my CDs. Put one in and no response - no icons appeared on desktop, nothing showing on iTunes. Tried to eject and absolutely no response - can't even hear any attempt to eject. I've tried a few different things and no response or the programme I'm using jams up. Not a huge computer buff so I need things explained really simply - only had my Macbook Pro for a year and still not completely tuned into Apple system - would have know what to do on my old Windows!

You can use a key combination to force removable media to eject at startup. Visit Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support and try the options listed in the bottom row.

My iPhone 4S runs out of battery power very quickly. I have disabled all functions (ie location services, push notifications etc etc) that actively use power. However, even when in standby mode for most of the day, I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of it.

I read in the press this might be a design fault. Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

There is a huge thread discussing this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16542550. There is a lot of discussion around locations services and the notification centre however many users are experiencing different levels of battery drain and there is no definitive fix at present. You may want to try some of the 'fix' suggestion in those posts and that may help but I would urge to keep an eye on the thread as that is where the majority of the community is focussing and discussing the issue. Also take a look at this recent article:http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/28/iphone-4s-battery-apple-enginee rs.
I know it's little consolation but there many people experiencing the same problem.

Media hub - Standby mode?

Hi.
I am the unhappy owner of a Cisco media hub.
Have been looking everywhere for someone who can help with a standby mode for my media hub, but have not succeeded yet.
Can it really be true that there is no firmware with a simple standby for this model? all they cheaper model on the market have this feature.
Hope somebody could help with this problem. :-)
Kind regards
Kasper Kjaer

Hi,
I do agree with slickyworm. However if you're using an NMH4XX series, you have the option to adjust the backlight and screensaver through the LCD menu which will somehow reduce its power consumption. And as far as I know, the NMH operates at 13 watts which I guess very acceptable specification for a media storage device.

W520+Win7-64, Standby Mode: MessageBox Problems ejecting...

Hello world,
I'm using a SSD in the internal harddisk slot and the original harddisk running in an ultrabay adapter. Windows is installed on the SSD. Each time I go into standby-mode and return, I see the message box "Problems eject XXXX, the device is currently in use...."
In the eventlog there are multiple messages saying
"The application \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Prog\xxxl.exe with process id 4796 stopped the removal or ejection for the device IDE\DiskST9500420AS_____________________________0003LVM1\4&8a9acb7&0&0.1.0."
followed by a
"Device action request for device 'IDE\DiskST9500420AS_____________________________0003LVM1\4&8a9acb7&0&0.1.0' was vetoed by 'STORAGE\Volume\{2483acec-a2e3-11e0-9cfe-fe3c617a851b}#0000000000100000' with veto type 6."
Has anybode an idea how to get rid of this messages?
TIA,
Bernd

I think I have a related issue. I have a SSD with my old drive in the ultrabay also
On wake up, the kb lights flash, the mechanical hd starts to spin, and then nothing. After a couple of seconds
the process repeats. It seems like something is timing out or there is some kind of power problem because the
NVIDIA GPU is being used. I don't see a message because I have to reset by pulling power and battery.
Wakeup is fine when in the Optimus mode.

My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve .....

My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

DG goods block in Sales Order for mode-Air

Hi...
I am new in EHSM and seeking config. steps for my below requirement.
For DG, sales order should not be created if mode of transport AIR selected.
Ready document or details steps appreciated. Please help
Regards,
Sumit

Dear Sumit
Let me know DG Classification data is maintained or not in the DG Master for the material which you want to block in Air Mode transport . Use T.Code DGP2 for checking this
If Maintained ...select Classification IATA (Probably for Air) and click on Classification in which you have put he check mark for the filed 'Transport Not permitted"
If DG Classification is not maintained in the DG Master ..Refer below configuration guide for DG Configuration in your system.. Basically there are 3 key steps in DG Process
1) DG Classification
2) Fill the DG Classification data in DG master
3) Define the DG Schema & Checks and Assign the same to different order type
Refer the Document No :852 for DG Configuration & 936 for Business process scenario

Hope this will help you.. still if you have any questions , pl.come back
thank you

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

For iphone 4 screen automatically switches to standby mode.

For iphone 4 screen automatically switches to standby mode. Software version 6.1.3. Recovery does not help.

Okay, it might be notifications that are active turning on the iPhone. Try Settings > Notifications. Turn off all the apps (you can also do this faster by turning on 'Do Not Disturb'). Try running it like this, and see if it turns itself on.

Restore Log with Standby Mode on VHDX disk problem - hotfix for SQL 2014 needed

Restore Log with Standby Mode on Virtual VHDX disk cause a 9004 error in SQL Server 2014 ( test performed on Web edition and Standard version )
Similar Bug for SQL 2008R2 is already registered with number hotfix
KB2987585
Restore operations always fail in Hyper-V R2 Server in situations ( text copied from
KB2987585 page )
The primary database has its transaction log file (.ldf) stored on a disk that has "Bytes per Physical Sector" set as 512 bytes.
You take the transaction log backups of this database, and then you try to restore it by using the standby option on the secondary database.
The secondary database transaction log file (.ldf) is located on a VHDX disk that has "Bytes per Physical Sector" set as 4,096 bytes.
In this scenario, the restore operation fails and returns the following error message:
Error: 9004, Severity: 16, State: 6.
An error occurred while processing the log for database '<databasename>'. If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.
After this error occurs, the secondary database goes into a suspect state.
So restore from Generation1 to Generation2 machine ( where only VHDX disk is possible ) always fails and database is not accessible.

Power consumption in Connected Standby Mode too high with no obvious cause even in airplane mode

My Windows 8.1 tablet is draining at a rate of about 3% per hour or 833mW drain while in connected standby mode.
I have muted the sound and set the system to airplane mode, but still receive 3% drain per hour.
The PEP PRE-VETO rate and COUNT are 0. The DRIPS Histopgram has 100% at 32s. The top 5 offenders are all green with 0% active time.
The only value I am unsure about is IR TRUNCATE PERCENTAGE which on Microsoft's examples is always 0, but on my device it is 91% or higher. What does this mean?
Also is there anyway to find out why even though the sleepstudy looks fine I am getting such a high battery drain even with everything off in airplane mode?

Hi Tesmond
We might need more details about your device such as mode and Manufacturers.
And please keep your system, device driver and firmware up to date for good measure.
I think you are using sleep study to trace power usage. I didn’t found any information about IR TRUNCATE PERCENTAGE. I am supposing IR stand for Infrared. So we suggest you check if these is infrared port/connection device on your tablet.
Also confirm this issue with manufacturers to check if it is known issue caused by firmware or device driver.

Standby-mode by accident whit pin request to reenter.

Hello community,
I have a problem_ sometimes my bb sets into that 'kind' of standby mode, where nobody can reach me, because I got kicked out of the carriers circuit.
As soon as I notice it, the device asks me to reenter the pin to get into the carrier.
Sometimes there are a few days nothing happens and sometimes it happens twice or three times a day.
ADVICE and HELP requested.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try booting into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
You may also want to talk to your carrier to see if they can look at their network for any issues.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

Which is good: ejecting or standby mode for EHD's?
