• Single user, working on both machines, best practical question

  I use Dreamweaver at home and at work.  I'm working on my sites only.  I have just started working with DW and don't know the best practice to achieve.  The way I do now is through a folder synchronized on both machines that hosts the site.  The establishment is a local folder on the two machines that automatically syncs on the WWW.  I created a site on my machine at home with a folder root for the site and the images and then created another site on my work machine and was pointing at the root sync folders.  Is the best practice for this set to the top.

  I guese that im afraid of is the feature of auto update of links and such to within DW.

  Thank you!

  I have the same configuration and DW Check In / Check Out feature works for me.

  This requires a local copy of the site on home and work machines more copy remotely on the web.

  I have check no matter what files I need to work, modify and then download and archive when I'm done.

  DW manages everything.

• Airport Extreme, Time Capsule best practices configuration

  I searched for articles showing exactly what are the settings that I would see in my Airport Extreme Time Capsule. I put in place of the years before, but more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times a day. Our internet service provider recently upgraded its network, even though they claim that any slowdown is not their problem. I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs. The Capsule is connected via CAT5 to the modem. All devices can connect wirelessly to the network.

  Base Station name is unique. Network is not hidden. Password is super strong. Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal, just in case the older devices need to connect. In the window of the wireless Options, 5 GHz network name is disabled. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  I don't know if we're even using the 5 GHz mode. I want to make sure that we are optimizing on the installer. Any help is very appreciated.

  Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal

  It's bad... AC is optimized to WPA2 and you will suffer significant slow down with WPA1. Even if your TC is former model Wireless N, that customers with AC wireless cards will not work as well.

  Use an AP gradually charge for older clients N or G... almost nothing today will be limited to the WPA1 unless it is very old and very slow.

  Name of the 5 GHz network is unchecked. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  The Apple 2.4 ghz speed limit... and always have.

  You will get the wrong speed on 2.4 ghz and is therefore the only way to improve the speed force customers to 5 GHz that can usefully use it.

  Check the 5 GHz range and give it a different name for the principal name wireless... It's the only way you can force clients to use the 5 GHz.

  How old and exactly which model is the TC? The base A1xxx please if you do not know.

  Age affects things. Routers wireless for some reason any servant of quality have a service life of about 3 years... the TC is actually worse than average... being more stressed to the load of the hard drive.

  I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs.

  You actually turn off TM? Sometimes the TM always works, even when people think it's the start.

  more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times per day

  It's what I expected with TM still working on a computer.

• Add 2nd HARD drive to Time Capsule - best practices?

  Hello

  I have an iMac running El Capitan at the end of 2012, supporting up to a 4th Gen 2 TB Time Capsule. The total size of my backup is 1.05 to. Incremental backups take the total space used on the TC to about 1.6 TB.

  Fear of the HARD drive TC will: phut that I, as a "belt and Suspenders" approach, yesterday signed a 2 TB Western Digital Elements HARD drive for the TC and other introduced Time Machine backups. He is currently conducting his first backup to the new HARD drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.

  The iMac and the TC are connected via 200AV Homeplugs.

  I have two questions if you don't mind...

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are ongoing for the same item, with the same 'history', as they save in alternation? What is wise or even possible? As is stands, the new hard drive back up the iMac from scratch so if the TC HDD died, I'd lose all historical backups (they date back to March 2015), with just a very recent version on the new HARD drive.

  The progress of the backup on the new disk, while that connected to the TC, is slow. After that 11 hours I'm only 16 GB to 1.05 TB - it has not yet calculated the time remaining yet :-) I assumed connecting via Homeplug iMac would be more robust than the Wi - Fi for such a transfer of data. I appreciate there are several factors at play here - the size of the files, the indexing of the backup, the speed of the Homeplugs, age / my wiring standard, etc. etc.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  Thank you very much for any help. After spending only to Mac a few years back I love TM - I have never found a Windows backup system that has worked for me the way of TM.

  See you soon.

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are continue from the same point with the same "historical."

  IMHO you do it the correct way back up again.

  The story is not so important after a few weeks and months... If the computer was stolen for example... what you want to do is to restore the computer as is... and what you were doing last year is really little relevant... Even if the TC Gen4 goes wrong, the story is never likely to be lost by the TC Gen4... it just needs the disc removed to put in the work. But it's the current image of the computer which is always the most important.

  We found copy of the enormously successful backups. Although in this case it would have been possible to do an archive... always if you asked the question of what you need to do... Myself and several others here always recommend a new clean as backup being the most reliable method.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  This is a good question... EOP adapters can be very slow. Slower than wireless AV200 are a pretty old standard and the actual speed could be all about 30Mbps down... It might surprise you... and indeed there have been measured before.

  The problem is that Time Machine backs up differently on the local network FC drives... When you plug the USB key into the TC then it's a network drive and the backup will not be recognized.

  Pondini wrote a method to get around this.

  Here see Q18.

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  I have not tried... Bob Timmons that's regular shows here has and discovered that it was not reliable. In my view, that a backup is too important to fiddling so.

  However, leaving the USB drive plugged into the Mac and keep the local backup of very good sense. It is much faster and more reliable than the backups over the network.

  If you really want to have the backup on the WD drive plugged into the TC, then I recommend do you via ethernet... Remove the TC of the network if it is too far for a patch lead... you can save the current configuration (export from the main menu of airport utility), then plug it into the computer directly with a short patch lead... and the USB in the TC, the backup will be much more quick... less than one full day (24 hours) for 1 TB if all goes well. Once completed you can then put the TC via the USB back in the network location.

• Help with Vmware Fusion & SBS 2011 Essentials; best practices

  Hi all

  Looking for a little help setting up a virtual machine on a Mac Pro to use as a server in a small business.

  We currently have an office of 6 users, all but one of which are windows users (XP and 7, although all soon to be upgraded to 7). Also, we have a Server SBS 2003 and until recently used it for storage of files, a database principal, Exchange and vpn. The server hardware has become very noisy to the point of this embarrassing other users in the room I'm looking to upgrade options.

  The machine I use now is a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 10 GB of RAM and I'm looking for this move with the to use with the server I'll be swapping to a MBP 17 ". I installed a trial version of SBS 2011 Essentials on it and have successfully installed the main and used database from a client machine so I'm glad that everything will work. We went from the e-mail Exchange on Gmail, which is why Essentials is good enough for me.

  I'm stuck now with what to know how to set up the machine to integrate properly. I have a 250 GB boot currently installed with Snow Leopard disk and that you have ordered 2 x 1.5Tb hard drives I had planned mirror in OS X using disk utility. The plan was part of the 250 GB boot drive partition (say 100 GB) to use as a separate partiton on which to store virtual machines. The record 1.5 to had to be kept separate and used as a data reader.

  I'm not sure now, that's how all of them work with SBS 2011? Can I move forward as expected and share the drives through OS X (SL or Lion server) as a network share? If so, how it plays with windows clients? Can I use AD control connections or I end with a mixture of OD and AD (which would be an argument)

  Or should I install SBS 2011 on the disks of 1,5 to, spend the entire disk to SBS 2011 and treat sharing here?

  By train to these things is not a problem, it's just trying to understand what is the best solution for day-to-day management and backup.

  Thanks in advance.

  Give points to Woody, by all means!  Sorry that SBS isn't my area, but if you want to watch using scripts to control your virtual machine, you can find these useful URLS:

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-1201

  and

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vix162_vmrun_command.PDF

  Of course, you could also turn on the accessibility of Mac (System Preferences > universal access > enable access for assistive devices and use AppleScript or other Mac automation technologies, such as ATOMac (https://github.com/pyatom/pyatom).)

• What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

  Hi all

  This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

  I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

  Thank you all

  Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

• Time machine: old back to merge with another of

  Hello

  I have a problem my back disc is full. And I have similar backups. whenever time machine backs up all the files (I thought it automatically adds only new... boh.) Anyway could you suggest me how to merge the old backups in order to keep a backup with older and newer files in the corresponding folders? Can I do it manually, but what paths of files across? I know on the restoration in disk utility, but is used to copy a disc shape to another, I read. I have all in one disc, and I want to do new backup now that the mac is new. Thank you very much. Guido

  I suggest that you forget about 'fusion' backups Time Machine. Time Machine backups are complex, they contain several levels of permissions and access rules to prevent users from editing, display or delete data belonging to others (or system files).

  Time Machine also manages the size of backup itself, so even if you manage to make "a big backup" eventually he will get full & TM will remove the oldest copies (often without warning).

  Apple don't support editing, merging, or otherwise change the backups Time Machine.

  You would be wiser to upgrade the old backup in a safe place and start a new backup to a new disk. If you need old files you can retrieve them from the old backup.

  Another option is to make a copy of your important data for archiving. Simply copy these files to another disk instead of depend only on the Time Machine backups.

• The merger with Time Machine backups

  I fear I know the answer to that, but would like confirmation.

  I am running Fusion 2.0.4 and have Mac OS 10.5.6.

  As part of support to replace a faulty card from the airport on my MBP, Apple did a new install of the OS and erased my disk. When I started the laptop I told it to restore from a Time Machine backup. He restored all the files under the My Documents folder, except for my virtual machines. He has even restored a text file I had in the 'Virtual Machines' folder, but not the virtual machines themselves. Looking back through the external drive for Time Machine, I don't see the virtual machines to any previous backup.

  I guess I'm watered at this point, although I'm hoping the actual VMs are located elsewhere, and under 'Virtual Machines' files are just links. Does anyone have an idea what I can try, or why the virtual machines are not saved?

  Thank you.

  Jeff

  If your virtual machines were in the "Virtual Machines" folder, where they are. Although it is possible to create a configuration where this isn't quite the case (for example, the link hard to another directory or volume), the simplest and explanation of the default value is that your virtual machines were either not stored (in this case I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news) or in the first place never were in this folder (you can check your drive to backup files/folders - virtual machines tend to be big so should stand out).

  As to why it is, Time Machine in the first versions of Leopard would cause a deadlock (and hang the Mac) in certain circumstances, one of them was a virtual machine. To work around this problem, Fusion told Time Machine to exclude virtual machines. Apple has fixed the bug of Time Machine and deleted merge the exclusion of Time Machine, but it is possible to get into situations where virtual machines are still excluded.

  In general, we do not recommend the use of Time Machine to back up virtual machines - the short version is that it will go quickly through space and that it still does not produce a viable backup. Instead, we recommend that you back up files in the comments (or their mirror to the host and let Time Machine pick them up there), or manually back up virtual machines when they are not running.

• Help me to get my head around Time Machine/VMware fusion + Snapshots

  Well, then it seems that Time Machine under Leopard and snapshots (set to auto) are of a similar nature.  Time Machine is be all end all, or try to anyway.  I guess my question is double:

  1.) if Time Machine backs up everything: hourly, daily, weekly, etc.  Autosnapshots in VMware is an exaggeration?  Maybe it's just a personal decision, but I would like to hear comments on it so that I can make a more informed choice.

  2.) I have heard several different stories of Time Machine, not backup of virtual machines / support their place too often... it's what history on it?  I use the newer of the two: Fusion and Leopard.  All software are up to date.

  Please help me understand.  Thank you.

  First thing I want to mention is that I do not consider stereotypes as backup solutions because they are stored on the local drive. If the disk down both your virtual machines and snapshots are parties.

  In terms of time Machine, I've seen users have limited success. In general, I wouldn't recommend using Time Machine with VM as it will save all changes (once per hour). When the virtual machine is open it is constantly evolving. You can imagine what it's going to make your backup storage when Time Machine backs up your 20 GB VM every hour.

  My best and easiest solution is simply to drag and drop the virtual computer on an external drive from time to time. If you are more concerned with the information (documents, etc.) in the virtual machine and not the virtual machine, an automated way would be to Shard folders such as installation Documents and have Time Machine backs up those specific folders.

  I hope this helps.

• Fusion drive: restore from Time Machine - "the disc cannot be erased."

  Hello

  On a new iMac (end of 2015), I need to wipe my drive of Fusion of 3 TB (El Capitan, unencrypted, just 1 partition, no Boot Camp partition) and then restore a backup Time Machine (made on a previous iMac, also with disc Fusion of 3 TB (El Capitan, unencrypted, just 1 partition, no Boot Camp partition).

  According to the document from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904 'restore from a Time Machine backup' I...

  1. restart with cmd + R (later also tried cmd + alt + R and also a USB bootable of course El flash drive)

  2 selected "backup restore Time Machine"

  3 selected my external backup disk, Time Machine

  4 choose the most recent backup

  5 selected "Macintosh HD" as a destination and click "continue".

  ... but then the following message appeared "disc cannot be erased.

  

  Then I tried to erase 'Macintosh HD' via disk utility:

  1. restart with cmd + R (later also tried cmd + alt + R and also a USB bootable of course El flash drive)

  2 choose disk utility

  3 choose "Macintosh HD"

  4. click on tab "delete".

  5. click on the button 'clear '.

  ... then I got the error message:

  "Clear process failed..." Details: Dismantling DIS3 - deletion of logical volumes of the logical volume group - cannot remove the basic storage logical volume. Operation failed... »

  I was in the 'loop', the only way out was to "Reinstall Mac OS X", and then after many hours, he had once again my old installation flubbed with everything I wanted to get rid of!

  How to restore my backup Time Machine - nothing more or less - to my new iMac?

  I lost 3 days now with this problem. I really hope someone has a solution.

  Thank you very much!

  Apple did not provide an easy way to recover from this condition. If you are not able to carry out these instructions, please someone more experienced to help you get. One option is to take an appointment 'Genius' on an Apple Store.

  Starts the Internet recovery mode by pressing the key combination command-option-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.

  Note: You need an Ethernet or Wi - Fi connection permanent Internet to use recovery. It will not work with modems USB or PPPoE, proxy servers or networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  In the OS X Utilities screen, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

  Follow the steps in this thread to ASC to split the fuser unit. The long string of letters, numbers and dashes you will need to enter will be different in your case. Copy and paste into the command in the Terminal window.

  This will remove all data from the fuser unit, then you had better be sure of your backups.

  Quit the Terminal, and then repair the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.)

  Quit disk utility. Then you should be able to install OS X and restore your data from a backup in the main screen.

• Material LV real-time Ethernet com best practices

  Hello

  I just started to learn the LV in real-time, and until I get a new cRIO I just played with a former PSC-2220.

  Everything works, I am reading the tutorals nice about RT and deployment/running example to this target applications.

  However, I don't know what is the best practice, the IP address of this device handling. For easy installation, after a device reset (and install the new RT runtimes, etc) I put just the HW to obtain the dynamic IP address of my router (DHCP). My laptop connects to the same router via wifi.

  However, since after a few resets the target Gets a new IP (192.168.0.102, previous IP was... (104), I have to manually change the IP address in my project. Is it possible that the LV auto detects the target in my project? In addition, it seems that MAX retains the old information and creates a new line for the same target... so I guess that if the problem persists, MAX is going to fill? See screenshots below.

  As a solution, I'll try to use static IP for the target, so it must always use the same IP address.

  What is the common procedure to avoid this kind of problems? Just using static IP? Or miss me him too something else here?

  Thank you!

  

  I just always use static IP addresses.  It avoids just all kinds of questions, especially if you have several systems on the same network.

• What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

  Hi gurus,

  We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

  I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

  Kind regards
  Ranjan

  Hello

  How do you intend to use the time?

  If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

  Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

  You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

  As Blushadow said, it depends.

• Win 7 hangs after Time Machine restore - Fusion v8.02

  New to the group, but a user of merger for a long time on a MacBook Pro 2009.

  It's a little complicated, but here are the facts:

  I have experienced a complete hard drive failure but had the system saved Time machine. After installing the new drive (Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 500 GB), I installed Snow Leopard from a dvd. I then did a restore from Time Machine since the last backup and most things worked very well. However, when I started Fusion (v8.0 at the time), I got the blue screen of death in Windows 7. After a few attempts, he found a remedy that helped win 7 to start normally and everything seemed to work fine. So I decided to upgrade the OS to El Capitan, and I'm back to the blue screen of death of Win 7. Nothing I've tried has worked to get Windows started, I can't start even in Safe Mode.

  I tried a manual uninstall complete Fusion 8 and reinstalled, but no change. I don't have much on the partition for Windows, really, just 3 programs I can not run in OS X, no storage data here either. Time, as I see it, I have two choices: 1) do an another Time Machine restore and downgrade of El Capitan by returning to the previous configuration. (2) do a complete reinstallation of Windows 7 and Fusion.

  If there is a way to just do a reinstall of Windows, I'm ready for that, too. (However, since the upgrade of the El Capitan I can't use the optical dvd drive with all disks based on Windows... already reported)

  Any help would be appreciated.

  As a follow-up, not long after my post, I get a call from VmWare support. (I submitted a ticket) Most excellent service. She takes control of my computer remotely and speaks to me through a new facility and a new virtual machine. I had downloaded a new version of Win 7 for installation and all went well.

  During the conversation I forget I wanted to install Win 10, but my system was apparently not compatible due to a graphics card or driver. She informs me that she has a solution for this and I am trying to install Win 10.

  Besides the support of VMWare!
