Why will a Leopard backup DVD not work on G5.

A couple of Leopard issues:
1, When I a make a dvd backup of my Leopard dvd using either Disk Utility or Toast it will work fine on the intel but will be spit out of the G5. The G5 cannot make double layer so I must rely on a computer that does! My G4 can make double layer but it is 400 miles away now! When is a copy not a copy?
2, Leopard disk utility repair permissions takes a long long time. It gives the errors discussed on other posts but why such a long time?? By the way, the Diskwarrior site gives some cautions about repairing permissions but does not address the inordinate amount of time, with respect
to Tiger, issue.
Other than the above and some applications no longer launching or working properly I appear to have two stable systems working. As I have done for years I install a new OS on an external drive, find out what works and what don't and in a few weeks upgrade the main drive. I usually use Supperdupper but found out it does not work on Leopard, a least for me! So I have not yet figured out how to make an archive copy of a Leopard system. Hard drives are like people, they eventually die. I have not tried a restore using Time Machine so I do not have any faith in it yet!

The fact that your G5 cannot make a dl DVD means nothing. I am sure it can read it, and that's all that counts. If you can play a movie on the G5, it can read a dual-layer DVD. You have some other issue there.
I would also point out that not all DVD DL blanks are equal and some machines can only read the + and some only the - types. A homemade dual-layer DVD is not the same as a commercial one.

This is a known "issue" which has been discussed here many times. We do not know why it takes a long time. Only Apple knows.

Have you looked into CarbonCopy which claims to be Leopard compatible?

PSE8 Backup/Synchronization not working for more than a month

1. Reconnecting files shows that a file is not connected; however, no file is listed. How do I find missing file's properties.
2. Backup/synchronization preferences works fine.
3. I can select one or more or the whole catalog.
4. The twirly icons show next to the album(s) for a second or show but then the synced icon remains in album/albums.
5. I click OK and after the hour glass shows a while, it finishes.
6. I click on icon and see that sychronization is on.
7. If I check (unsynced items, synced items, or items marked for sync) it shows nothing and says that none of those choices matches.
8. I have repaired and reindexed countless times (never has there been a "repair" problem.
9. I click on optimize and that works.
10. After that I notice "generating thumb nails" and the twirly thing moving. I've let it generate thumbnails for more than 24 hours and it's still going.
I have spent countles hours during day and night, and I can't get it to work.
I noticed that someone wrote that he had a similar problem that began with his using the IPAD. And I started using the IPAD also, but I couldn't sync my files with photoshop.com before that.
Customer service and Help provides me with no answers. What should I do?

Hi clairenanak:
Sorry to hear about the troubles.
On your #1, you may have disconnected files of media types that are not visible. To ensure that all media types are visible, go to View > Media Types, and check any items that are not currently checked. Then try the Reconnect.
As far as backup/sync not working, disconnected files can stop sync from working.
After resolving the disconnected files issue, let us know if sync is not working. We may need to look at the sync log to determine why.
As for the Organizer constantly generating thumbnails, this could indicated that you have many files, for example 10,000, in your catalog.
If you have many files in your catalog, then you may need to just wait for the process to finish.
It may also indicate a problem with the thumbnail cache that can't be repaired by the Optimize command.
You can manually reset this file by doing the following:
Determine the name of your Elements Organizer catalog.
The name of the catalog appears in the lower-left of the Organizer.
    Alternatively, you can open the Organizer and then click File > Catalog. The name of the catalog will show in the list at the bottom with " [current]" after it.
Close the Elements Organizer.
Navigate in Windows Explorer to the folder that contains your catalog. Here are the default locations:
   Windows 7 or Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\<CATALOG NAME>
Click Start, type "%ProgramData%" (including the quotation marks) into the Start Search, and then press Enter.
Open each folder in the above structure until you have opened the catalog folder.
   Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\<CATALOG NAME>
Choose Start > Run, type "%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data" (including the quotation marks) in the Open text box, then press Enter or click OK.
Open each folder in the above structure until you have opened the catalog folder.
   NOTE: Replace <CATALOG NAME> with the name of the catalog that you determined in Step 1 above.
There should be a file called thumb.5.cache, which is the thumbnail cache. Delete this file.
The next time you open the Elements Organizer, the thumbnail cache will begin to rebuild. This may take some time, depending on the number of files you have in the catalog.

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

TS3992 Why did it say " Backup could not be completed"? Was it because it estimated it would take 3 hours to do the backup and it was timed out?

Why did it say "Backup could not be completed"? Was it because it estimated the backup would take 3 hours and it timed out?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

Who knows?
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

Either it's incompatible or it's a PPC-only application. PPC applications are no longer supported in Lion because there is no longer a Rosetta emulator. Contact Corel for support.
