More Seagate and Mac 10.6.8

I just bought a Seagate Plus backup that I now find (it was not clear when searching the Seagate) is only compatible with OS X 10.7 or higher. Mine is 10.6.8. Ironically, I bought the SBP to backup before upgrading my OS. Site Web of Seagate says the disc can be re-formatted to operate with the existing version (10.6.8 to 10.7.5). Is it safe to do? Are there potential problems? Assuming it's OK, should I use the Time Machine software or rely on the Seagate drive? The idea was to save data outside that I assumed that any virus or malware attack would affect everything, including the RPM.

Hello

You can use the disk (found in the utility application folder) utility to format the the Segate. Use "Extended OSX journaled" format.

Time machine has an internal integrity checking, and if any given backup set fails to pass current tests, it will alert you.

You can also use several external backup drives and Time Machine alternates between them.

The first backup will be long.

This does not affect your machine running.

  • I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and need help setting up with CCC!

    Hello world

    I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and could use help setting up with CCC.

    I did in the past without problem, but I want to assure you of a few things:

      1. This particular drive has software available in a folder on the disk backup (w / the PC and Mac versions). But... I intend to use this disk as an exact copy of my iMac HD; It must also be bootable.
      2. Should I format the drive with disk utility? Or load the software to the CCC on the disk and just leave their only backup software?
      3. One last question: I also have a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. I want to save them as well. Should I put them on separate partitions, I created? Or can we just one big happy family? The last is best.

    One last piece of information: two computers, etc, were all backed up via Time Machine. My data the most important, photos, etc., are also saved on deposit box and/or iCloud on a regular basis.

    Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Sally D.

    Delete and partition the drive by making a separate partition for each computer. The iPad and the iPhone is useless their own partition because they back up using iTunes and would appear in the clone of the computer that you use for each save. Each partition must be the size of the current cloned drive that can leave you with additional partitions for other stuff. Then format the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. Do not install any software that came with the drive, none of this is necessary.

    I use a very similar setup with a 3 TB drive. I clone my boot SSD in a single partition, my drive internal 1 Tb in a second, my Macbook to a third party, and I have a fourth partition which is currently empty, because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I also have a 3 to Apple Time Capsule.

  • Problems associated with tours to the iPad and Mac

    Hello

    I have an AIR-WLC2112-K9 controller with 1250 TOWERS, customers could connect without problem a few weeks ago, most of the customers are towers, some are Mac and a little
    are iPads.the security is WEP encryption.

    Suddenly the ipads could not associate with towers, a message appears on the passwords, but passwords are correct, temporarily I solved the problem
    After changing to WPA - PSK, but the next day the problem came once more. With Mac, the problem is that they can't rally or many abandons the connection

    In my case one having a RIDE and I have no problems, I can associate whenever I want, and also other towers.

    I intend to upgrade to AIR-WLC2100-K9-6-0-196-0.aes but I don't know if this will solve the problem.

    any suggestion?

  • Creative Suite - use on Windows and Mac?

    I installed the Creative Suite to WIN on my PC and the old laptop window.

    Can I turn off my second license of machine (laptop) and install the Master suite on a MacBook Pro?  or am I forced to buy a Windows Machine only?

    Russellb48276717 you can find details on how to request an exchange of platform product for another language or version of Exchange platform .  As noted in Ned, you give up your Windows license in order to receive a license Mac CS6.  Creative Suite 6 licenses are platform specific.

    When we try to write in a pdf file. document, it changes the Danish letters Æ Ø Å to different signs. To do this, this om pc and Mac. Anyone know of a solution? Thank you

    Hi, I found the problem, it seems that the pdf file uses a helvetica font, and when we write in a part of the PDF with the Danish letters A, Æ, O, it changes signs. I changed the Roman fonts in adobe acrobat pro, and then there's no problem. But he seem´s that the standard in pdf files is helvetica, and there is not time to change the files, because we get only the files on the day of the exams at school. It happens in all versions of adobe 11 and DC, it is also a problem on Windows 7, 8.1 and windows 10 more Macbook.

  • Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD and Mac Mini

    I have Flash as part of master CS6, that I bought mainly for InDesign, Photoshop, and first, but I have yet to open Flash. I hope someone here can save me time advised me if Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a passionate amateur, but I don't want to use software quality and the equipment to do the best job that I can.

    Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation - is Illustrator should I use?) suggested I try Flash.

    Background

    I use first to convert my audio-visual presentations to the HD format. In the 1980s, I was just in slideshows of three screens. As part of the transformation, I will be the introduction of a small number of video clips (where my need to first) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds maximum. The animation will be a friend of the artist who strives to expand his talents in the art of the computer. If I buy the computer (a Mac kind), a Cintiq, load the software appropriate and then he loan at Steve and him show how to use it, it will spend as much time as necessary for animation. We barter: happens to use a computer and Tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.

    A typical animation could involve Steve drawing of contours at appropriate intervals, over a background, and then having the software generate the in-between. Shading of the watercolor-style (i.e., non-type of filling, monotone color) would be added, probably manually for each image, unless the interpolation can manage competently watercolor-style shading. For some of Steve doodles on his iPad (simplified versions of what we are aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip

    We're both in this new and recently spent an afternoon together watching videos Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks to it will work for us, but I have a few questions that I hope that some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple Yes or no can save me hours of reading documentation only to discover that something does not work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in the event that a person who uses with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these features before you buy. I have to buy "in the cold". So my distrust.

    Please note: I'm not an artist, and Steve is not computer. If some of these questions may seem stupid enough for an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.

    Question 1

    Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my thread of Illustrator) something I should consider? Or Flash is a better bet?

    Question 2

    Flash's vector tools that mimic a watercolor brush in Photoshop? Or is this not possible as a vector, and these effects must be the external Flash and then imported in the background (or other method)?

    Question 3

    When a Flash movie is over, how is it exported, for example, to the Prime Minister? Do you export as h.264?

    Question 4

    It is not clear for me and Steve after reading three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces in Flash. The Cintiq knows it on Flash and appropriates some drawing tools automatically? Or you have to say Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?

    5 questions

    Flash and Cintiq work well together - and easily?

    Question 6

    Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or maybe a Mac Mini is a suitable computer - with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve never use this configuration as a computer. It will handle the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Hi guy,

    I thought I was the only integer which was old enough to have worked on the big screen multi-image slideshows!

    Flash can be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 Tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for Cintiq references. There may be some issues that affect your intended use, or it can function exactly as you wish. Important to work with any Wacom product is to make sure that you use the latest drivers for the Wacom product.

    If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you will need.

    You can export files Flash video in most any type of file and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything you need.

    I've never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.

    Flash paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator. You'll have all the flexibility of the Cintiq to control the effects of paint, it will take a little practice, but you should be able to get the effect you describe.

    I hope this helps in your decision.

  • CS6 for Windows and Mac?

    Is there a CS6 who works for PC or Mac?  I found one on eBay, but I'm not sure if it is really valid for both platforms.  The box says:

    Adobe Creative Suite 6

    Design standard

    WINDOWS/MAC 06

    Schoolgirl and her teacher licenses

    CS6.jpg

    The seller said that the software will work for PC or Mac.

    I called Adobe sales.  The customer representative said I have to buy CS6 Windows or Mac CS6.  There is no one that works for both.  He was trying to sell me creative cloud, however.

    I'm going to buy a new computer and have not decided between Windows and Mac.  If this edition CS6 works for both, I have more time to decide.  Thanks for any help.

    Without knowing the exact product codes nobody knows exactly. Some edu licenses can offer a selection of platform in the package, but still require you to commit to one when you redeem the code of redemption for the final series. Similarly, some volume issued by schools edu licenses may contain soap operas for both platforms, but it's really too complicated to understand, still more since quite literalyl edu licenses are governed by different rules in each country or even the States / counties. The only way to make sure to get the code of the aforementioned article and to ask your support regional edu / dealer if this is legitimate and useful for you.

  • PC and MAC cross-platform

    I bought creative suite for my student daughter CS4, version student about £500 - (no wonder PTA are broke) she need only photoshop and illustrator, but the cost of these programs separately was more than the entire suite.

    She wanted to upgrade just photoshop and illustrator, CS5, but apparently you can do, you must update all the more... for another beautiful award. (adobe did not bother explaining this issue when buying)

    She had CS4 on his desktop PC and on his cell phone. Laptop broke, and being an art student, she decided to buy a MACbook. (without my knowledge, but I can understand his reasons)

    MOM software does not work on my MAC!

    Now, we are facing the whole PC - MAC cross platform question.

    She can upgrade to CS5 and change the license for MAC, but then she can't use it on his PC.

    After reading it was yet another version, now CS 5.5, I just got tired of Adobe, it's fresh and how to total crap that he treats his customers, the lack of flexibility, the price that really are paralyzing if its just something that soak you with occasionally, so she is going to use gimp.

    Why can't make cross-platform software, even Corel Adobe offers that.

    I can see why people eventually adobe software piracy, it seems that more than one easier option that pulling your hair out because you can't just get to level PS and Illustrator, but rather must upgade a whole series of things you never wanted nor will never need.

    But the biggest nightmare, it's that you can't share the license of the software between a mac and a PC.

    If it is incorrect, I wish someone could tell me, I tried adobe support and I was told I could upgrade to CS5 and change the Mac platform. Once again for a fairly large amount.

    It was after I asked the question "can I share the software on PC and MAC?

    CS4 was fine, she didn't want CS5 or CS 5.5... all she wanted was to be able to occasionally use two software programs that cost £500 at a time of its computers, a mac a pc.

    guardians of course expect to have a PS... (most children, but they seem to all have hacked their)

    We descended the respectable road honest and bought the software thinking it would last him the 3 years at University... oh jeez.

    Sorry to hear the difficulties you and your daughter have had.  Certainly, you drive safer to buy your software, as many illegal downloads are laced with viruses and can do much harm.

    Regarding the policy on the extensions, it generates an exchange of views.  But there still is a (little known) way buy Adobe CS5 multi-platforms to install on Windows and Mac OS, even if it would require a new update for you now.

    Hope this helps and good luck to your daughter in his studies.
