Yet another 'time out'

I'm not sure whether I can tolerate much more of the useless BTmail. Frustration doesn't describe adequately the feeling I have when once again I'm 'timed out' just as I was about to send an e-mail. It doesn't even save a draft as I'm timed out, the message just disappears into the Bt ether wherever that might be. Can anyone offer a 'reasonable' explanation? Incidentally just as I was about to post this message a pop up message appeared above, 'Autosaved at 3:35PM'

Hi Annegray01
Sorry you didn't get a reply, I've checked our queue and cannot see an email in there. Can you try to send another through the contact the mods link in my profile and we can pick up from there.
Thanks

  • Yet Another Time Sheet Question

    Hello, Everyone:
    I know there have been other posts on this subject, but none of them have met my needs. I recently began my freelance design career and would like to keep track of my hours in spreadsheet form. I know nothing of spreadsheet applications whether it be Excel or Numbers. I need a basic rundown of how to make my spreadsheet do what I want.
    I'd like my sheet to have the following columns:
    *Date | Start Time | End Time | Total Time*
    Now, I have seen where the application renders the time in decimal form, which is fine, but would it be possible to show the time in hours and minutes, like 1 hr 43 mins? I would like to know how to get both sorts of results, if possible. If not, I'll settle for decimals.
    In any case, if someone could show me step-by-step how to meet this task, I would really, really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!

    AC,
    Your use of the time calculations is a simple as can be.
    Select column A and format it as Date&Time, and set Time format to None
    Select columns B and C and format as Date&Time, and set Date format to None
    Select column D and format as Duration, adjust the slider to cover only hours and minutes, set the format as you wish, H:MM would work.
    In the first data row of column D, enter the equation: =C-B
    With the first equation in D selected, select the rest of the cells to the bottom and Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Enter some data. The result should appear in column D. Now you may not like looking at zeros in the rows where you haven't yet entered times. So, select column D and in the Cells Inspector click the Conditional Format Show Rules button. Choose the rule: Equal To and type a zero into the field on the right. Then click Edit, followed by a click on the rectangle to the right of the word Text. In the colors panel that pops up, cllick the plain white square next to the upper left corner. Now click Done.
    That's all there is to it.

  • Workflow does not start automatically on create item (yet another time)

    The topic has been discussed broadly throughout different forums, but I didn't find the solution to my issue yet and hope you can help me out with ideas to sidestep the difficulties created by Microsoft.
    I have one list 1 in Site Collection A, and one list 2 in Site Collection B (PWA site collection). I need to copy an item from list 1 to list 2 with some values. I use a "Call http web service" action to accomplish
    that as I need to copy informatin cross site collections.
    The "Call webservice" is in an App Step, because the user creating an item in list 1 does not have permissions on list 2. Thus, my item is created "by workflow" (not "by System Account") in list 2. Now I need a second
    workflow to start on list 2 which will create a project in Project Server.
    As I am working across 2 site collections, I can not use a SharePoint 2010 workflow with impersonation step for list 1 as the "Call a webservice" action is not available for SP2010 workflows and "Copy item" only works in the same site.
    In Nintex I can impersonate the web service call - is this also somehow possible for SPD2013 workflows? Or is there any other possibility to get over this silly restriction of workflows not starting automatically on System account created items? Someway
    perhaps to tweak the App Step in impersonating with another user account?
    Any help appreciated!
    I really can't understand, that this common requirement is still not solved by Microsoft :-(  I found more threads on the topic than I can count, so this seems to happen quite often... at least they should finally offer a proper way of doing some kind
    of impersonation with the calls so we have a chance to change the creating user account.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you would like to use workflow to copy list items cross site collection.
    So far it is not supported with OOB workflow option, here is an codeplex workaround:
    https://spdactivities.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Copy%20List%20Item%20Extended%20Activity
    Please check if it can be help.

  • [SOLVED] Yet another time issue...

    Hi there,
    I'm having some crazy, hair pulling, head banging UTC time issues on both my dual boot (Arch & Windows 8) desktop and single boot laptop.
    I've been searching and following a mulitude of old threads and the official Wiki guide, however, I simply cannot get UTC time to stay correct between reboots. I've installed Arch a fair few times now, both before and after the switch to systemd and in dual and single boot setups and have never had time related issues like this before...
    Here's a run down of the whole sorry story....
    Fresh install - set time with hwclock --systohw utc as suggested in the beginners guide.
    First boot - time an hour out - huh? cat /etc/adjtime and ls -l /etc/localtime - everything as it should be... UTC and symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London. Nonetheless I duly follow the Time guide on the wiki, get to know timedatectl a bit, and soon after, time is set to be correct. Great.
    Reboot. Time an hour out. Whaaaa??. Start googling, finding a plethora of bbs links to others with similar issues, decide to use NTP. Install, ntpd -qg. All good again. Time right. Phew...
    Reboot. Nope. Arrrrgggghhhh. (Bare in mind - at this point I haven't even booted the Windows 8 disc, and I went through the exact same process on my Arch only laptop...)
    More googling, thread reading. Find out that hwclock and ntp might be in conflict. Delete /etc/adjtime, reinstall tzdata, re-follow Time article to the letter and reenable NTP to start at boot.
    Reboot - time is foward an hour yet again. Bang head repeatedly on desk. Then suddenly - 10 mins or so after boot - NTP kicks in, and time is magically goes back an hour to the correct time! Surely NTP should be doing this early in the boot process, not 10 minutes after? But OK, at least something is happening...
    Next I dare to boot into Windows, and yup, time an hour out. Expected, but frustrating nonetheless. Add the registry tweak as suggested in the guide, and turn off the Windows time synchronisation. During which I noticed that Windows 8 time is set to UTC by default, not localtime, which is what the wiki says. Is this a Windows 8 thing?
    I can't help thinking, that if this is the case, and the Wiki advise is written under the assumption that Windows time is always localtime, that perhaps this is the route of my problem....
    Anyway, Windows time all good now, reboot Arch, time again wrong untill NTP finally kicks in - sigh. Reboot to Windows. Time an hour back. Gaaaahhhh - WTF?!! reset it to be correct. Try again. Same thing. Oops, forgot to mention that on each reboot, I check the BIOS clock, which remains persistently correct during the whole debarkle...
    Ok, so I try without the registry hack and turn Windows sync back on. Still fucked. I try various combinations of the two, I try resetting Arch time over and over again. With NTP - late sync. With hwclock only, or both hwclock & NTP - totally fucked! Eventually, I give up on UTC in Arch, set it localtime, delete registry key, turn Windows time sync back on, and thus far all good......
    TL;DR - couldn't get hwclock to set UTC time correctly across reboots. NTP worked (sort of), but after each reboot it would take ten minutes for the time to sync and the clock to move back an hour to the correct time. Localtime just works...
    My question is - why is the wiki (and the timedatectl status output for that matter) - so adamant that we should use UTC? From what I can gather, as long as I boot Windows around the DST time. or manually move the clock forward or back an hour - all should be well, no? Or are there other issues that I may run into that I've missed? The thing I'm most concerned about is data corruption due to timestamp issues...
    Also, why does the wiki repeatedly say that Windows uses localtime, when this doesn't appear to be the case in Eight? Does the wiki need updating or is Windows lying to me? I know which I'd put my money on ;-)
    Finally can anyone explain why my time was always an hour forward after a reboot, even when the time was set correctly before, the BIOS showed the correct time, and NTP was in use?
    Sorry for the crazy long posting, but this issue has been driving me totally batty!! Any light-shedding greatfully appreciated :-)

    Ok, so I set the clock back an hour in the BIOS, booted Windows - time right - YAY.
    Rebooted Arch - time right. OMFG - pure joy!!!

  • Yet another TIme Machine hair-puller

    What gives with this software? I've read on these forums that people have plugged in a FW/USB disk directly into their laptops, done an initial backup and then plugged the disk into either an AEBS or another Mac running Leopard and are happily, wirelessly backing up. Not me.
    When I do the initial backup of my laptop over the FW, it works fine, creating the backups.backupd folders and everything. But when I plug the LaCie 500GB into my iMac and network it, Time Machine tries to back up to it as if it's never seen it before and writes a sparse image file to the external drive. This isn't what I wanted, is it? I just wanted to do an hourly backup, and it's trying to back up my entire disk of about 100GB of data.
    Any ideas? 10.5.1 can't come soon enough at this rate.

    Try searching the forum for "sparse image" and/or "backing up two Macs on one external disk" (or something similar. There were a few threads in the last week or so that spoke to this issue - I haven't had the pleasure, so I can't help you...

  • Yet another Time Machine issue

    I had a failure in time machine several months ago, and did a full reset of time machine as instructed on the discussion boards.  Today I noticed that not only had Time machine failed to Back up, but it had no back ups when I 'entered' it. 
    When I reset Time Machine (on a 4 T external hard drive, so space isn't an issue), it failed with an error message:
    The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. 
    The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.  WHen that volume is repaired (disk is partitioned) it says volume repair complete, and updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.  Then it says Error:  Couldn't unmount disk.  When the second partition is repaired, it sends the same message.
    I assume this is a problem with the Back Up Disk (a Lacie, purchased within the last few months).  Or, is it a problem with Time Machine?
    Any help out there?
    THANKS
    I have been running Lion for about a month.

    Sounds like a problem with the drive like a corrupted directory or RDB. I would just erase the drive with Disk Utility and start over:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Yet another time problem

    i give up. read all i can read. tried to find other apps to no avail. so i'll just ask it here. everything works in excel but i'm using an ipad at work and only able to use excel at home.
    EXCEL (custom format of [hh]:mm)
    1         A          B          C          D          E          F          G
    2      05:35     06:19     06:31   19:43    13:12   13:05     +0:44
    A, B, C, D = inputs
    E > F(X)=IF(C2>D2, (D2-C2)+1, (D2-C2))
    F > F(X)=CEILING(E2-"0:10","0:05")
    G > F(X)=IF(B2>A2, TEXT(ABS(B2-A2),"+h:mm"), IF(B2<A2, TEXT(ABS(B2-A2), "-h:mm"), "ERROR")) ---> delay or gain (+ is delay, - is gain)
    NUMBERS (format of time hh:mm)
    E > F(X)=IF(TIMEVALUE(D2)−TIMEVALUE(C2)<0,DURATION(0,0,D2−C2+24,0,0,0),D2−C2)
    F doesn't work. I can't think of a way. Any substitute? This is really important. Our way of estimating duration of travel (D-C), which is weird because we need E before we can "estimate".
    G > F(X)=TIME(24,0,0)−(B2−A2) but is showing 23:16 (24:00-23:16 = 0:44!!!). Remove "TIME", it shows 968904:44.
    - what will happen if B < A? will I get a negative time (which i want to see). also, when D < C (eg. D = 2:20, C = 14:40), it says "Duration units were removed."
    Thanks.

    you can try this:
    E1=D1−C1
    F1=CEILING(DUR2HOURS(E1), 5÷60)
    G1=IF(ABS(B1−A1)≥"0m", "+", "−")&B1−A1

  • Yet another Time Capsule /Time Machine / Aperture / Vault Question

    OK - It is recommended that the Aperture Library be excluded from the Time Machine backups, and to create vaults instead. Fine.
    Has anyone tried including the vaults instead of the library in their TM backups? Any issues? Does TM backup only the changes to the vault, or does it see the vault file as one file, and backup the whole thing after the vault has been updated?

    I haven't experienced it personally. That's because I have my Aperture library excluded -- I'm using SuperDuper to clone the entire library once a week (Aperture isn't open when this happens), and I also use vaults.
    There were numerous threads here about it, though. Or, I should say, they were in this forum, or they were in the Leopard/Time Machine forum. There was a fair bit of complaining about it... so I take it that some people have been affected.
    I doubt there's any danger of data loss, given TM won't back up the Aperture library when it's open -- which is when the database is in use and there could be open journal files. But... if you try it, and you notice that TM is taking 2-3 hours of crunching on your drive to back up the whole library, don't come yelling to me. I'll just say "known issue" and point to the Kbase article.
    Deal?

  • Time out error in F.13

    Hi ,
    We are getting time out errror in  F.13
    Please see below screen shot.
    Please help me in sorting this out.

    Execute in background, or process less records thru selection inputs.
    NB: Even if Basis increment the time out delay, you would one day or another trigger another time out, and during this time, every time an user forget to input selections in some report, the system will wait some hours before aborting their request (if not run out of memory of course) - remember, this already happened, the default value is 600 (10mn) and basis has already increased it to 3600 (1h)...

  • Yet Another quesstion about moving Time Machine backups

    I have a NAS drive used to back up 3 Macs.  In order to upgrade to a RAID drive, I need to reformat the existing drive (along with the new drive I'm adding to the enclosure) - but that would obviously lose the existing backups. I had planned to move them to another NAS drive that I have, reformat, then move them back.
    All the discussions I've seen involve reformatting the target drive (which is not a Time Capsule, but a Buffalo NAS).
    I can't do that, because I have lots of archive data  (not backed up by time machine) on that disk I'll be using only temporarily.
    So, how can I temporarily move the sparsebundle without buying yet another drive?

    I recommend doing as I suggested. Cloning is the only correct way to backup a Time Machine backup drive. If you have data on the other drive you don't wish to lose then create a new partition on that drive. See the following:
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
