Will someone please make clear what the Star Wars display is

I see so many references to the so called Star Wars, but never any screenshot or illustrations. TM manuals say, " If you don't find the "Star Wars" display intuitive, PLEASE tell apple" . Great, now how about showing me what I should be seeing. What is the Star Wars initiative?
The manuals and FAQs keep referring to differences, once starting TM depending upon where you were when you started, but no illustrations showing any of these differences, such as Finder, iPhoto, and the mysterious Star Wars display initiative.

Thank you, Eric.
That's all I needed. Odd that the term is used so casually, yet is not shown in any of the manuals or FAQs. I couldn't find it. Thanks.
It's not in any of the manuals because Apple has never used that term (being a copyrighted title/term Apple would probably have to pay LucasFilm/Disney big bucks if permission was even granted). Calling the Time Machine interface "star wars" is something users made up.
Regards.

  • Can someone please tell me what the name "radio" over a telephone contact means.

    Can someone please tell me what the name "radio" stands for over a telephone contact.

    "Radio" seems to be the default label if you're using an Exchange account. Just go into the contact, tap "Edit" in the upper right. Tap the word "radio" and select the label you'd prefer to use.

  • How do I exit from the "Star Wars" display?

    Hi all,
    I did my first Time Machine backup last night, and I think it went OK.
    Somehow, though, I hit the Time Machine icon during the backup, and I got into the "Star Wars" display. It wasn't showing me the progress of the backup, and it didn't show me when it was done. There was no way to get off this screen that I could find.
    How do you get out of the "Star Wars" display? (I didn't want to hit "ESC" because I wasn't sure if that would end the backup.) I'll be doing manual backups (this is for a MacBook Pro that won't be plugged into the external hard-drive all the time); I won't always have to sit with this "Star Wars" screen, will I?
    Thank you!

    The star wars screen and the process of backing up are two different things. The star wars screen is where you go to recover files, email, photos etc that have already been backed up. You don't have to be in this screen in order to back up because that happens automatically in the background. To exit, there is a cancel button in the lower left.

    Patience! Have you managed to fix this, or not?
    There have been two reported causes of this:
    Someone else had this, and it turned out to be due to a "StuffItCM.plugin" file in "/Library/Contextual Menu Items/". If you have this file, try removing it from that folder and restarting.
    Others have reported that it is due to an RSS feed sending a date in a format the system doesn't recognise. If you find the RSS feed and get rid of it, the message should go away.
    It is more likely to be the second problem. Charles Minow has posted "If you use Safari and haven't cleared the various iTunes Store RSS feeds from its bookmarks, you'll get this error, even though you might never look at them. It's really a problem with the feed and nothing on your Mac. Specifically, it's missing a comma after the day name."

  • For the love of god will someone please point me in the right direct

    I have a SoundBlaster Li've! 5. soundcard installed in my pc. My pc crashed and a new hard disk was required. I do not have the CD that came with the card,?I have managed to ?download Li'veDrvPack.exe, all be it from DriverGuide.com as i cannot find the file anywhere on this site. Every time I run the .exe file I get the following error message;?Setup could not detect any SoundBlaster Audio card on your system. Please ensure the your SoundBlaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program. Setup will now exit. I have checked in my Device list and there is an item marked as driver not installed with the label 'Multimedia Audio Controller'. The card is being recognised by Bill Gates' wonderful OS. I am getting towards the end of my tether with this and ready to launch the whole f***ing thing out of the window.... :-s?PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME..
    Thanks?Binty.... :-pMessage Edited by binty on 04-26-20072:47 PM

    binty,
    You can download the CD for the Li've 5. from [url="http://badboy.hub.io/">here[/url]. Look in the Audigy & Li've section. Which download you want depends on your model number. If you get a similar error when you install from the CD, run ctzapxx.exe in the /audio/driver subdirectory on the CD and select "overwrite existing..." (or similar phrasing).

  • HT201210 hi i get an itunes error -1 when restorting my iphone 5c could someone please tell me what the problem is thanks.

    when restoring my iPhone 5c I get error-1

    Hi suffianfrombirmingham,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are receiving error -1 while attempting to restore your iPhone. In this situation, I would recommend forcing your iPhone into recovery mode and attempting an update. This will reinstall the operating system without erasing any data. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Can someone please tell me what the app is called for Microsoft Word?

    I can only find MS Templates, but it requires MS Word to run so I'm confused?

    You have to get Word from Microsoft - for a free 30-day trial, see here.
    The Word templates you have may be able to be opened by Pages - from the App Store. Much less expensive than the Office suite. Even less expensive (as in free) is LibreOffice - which will open Word files and save in Word format.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    I thought of that, but my question is does it automatically flip to the CC.
    Yes.
    If you have a gift card balance, iTunes will use that.
    If the total is more than that, the difference will be charged to your credit card.
    You need do nothing.
    See this -> iTunes Store: How to redeem a code
    Free song credits are redeemed first.
    If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.

    Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong>?  Obviously I am new to iweb, and need help.  I recently built a website in iweb with only 5 pages, and I made the height, width, & all of the specs regarding the page size exactly the same, but they all load as different sizes on the website.  Also the text i typed loads right away, and the images take forever to load with each page when i look at it on a pc, and not mac.  Can someone please help me!!

    Obviously I am new to iweb, and need help.
    And one of your Services is Webdesign?
    Small consolation : iWeb is a very advanced piece of software. So advanced that even highly skilled professionals have difficulty understanding and using it.
    Anyway, your pages are NOT the same size by design. Which can clearly be seen. But also by checking the source of the pages.
    The Home page is 665px wide and the Contact page is 820px wide. That doesn't happen by magic. It's user induced.
    So do what I do : pay attention to every tiny detail. Especially when it's your business. No excuse.

    Once you click and select the folder's name it should be editable.
