Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable
I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:
It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.
For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.
It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:
The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable
I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.
No idea what is happening and how to fix it?
Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.
This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.
First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.
Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.
Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.
If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.
Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.
ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

I make a great conference poster that will contain images of ArcGIS. The poster will be 92 "x 42" and Imaging will cover 91 by 22 in the page. The problem is that I need very high resolution for imaging, but illustrator won't import my files. I use ArcGIS 10.3 on Windows 10 and Illustrator C4 with OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan). I was not able to import any .tiff file into illustrator (is this possible?) and I get "cannot take place due to an error" or "the file is too big" errors when I try to put .jpeg, .png, .ai files exported from the GIS. I think that the problem is due to the differentoperating systems, rental However, can I open and edit (resize etc.) files in preview without any problem, so there is also a problem with Illustrator. The files that I use are more than 150 MB at 300 dpi, but I really prefer to use 600 dpi, Illustrator can't handle these files sizes? I don't want to lose the resolution using .jpeg, .pdf, etc., many types of compression will cause problems with vector layers from ArcGIS. Please notify!
Update your AICS4 to something with the ability to access more than 3 GB of memory RAM as CS6 or above. You'll never work with CS4, at least not to the resolution as you seem to think you need. Indeed, you could probably use 150ppi or the bottom of the poster and not obviously nothing to lose. And for the record, I worked for 17 years for the USGS working with ARCGIS and AI.

I try to download and install Firefox beta 3 for Android 2.3 on Sony Ericsson X 10. I am able to access the site of the Chamber of combustion/m well but when to download, I get the error message "not found - the requested item is not found."
The link to download Firefox for the Android Market does not work on phones with incompatible equipment. You can check if your phone is compatible here:
https://wiki.Mozilla.org/mobile/platforms/Android
Even on some devices supported, a bug in the software of the market prevents Firefox from appearing. This may be linked to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to settings/Applications/market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update and then seek out and install Firefox on the market.
Or, if you have a compatible phone, you can download the application directly from here:
http://FTP.Mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/Mobile/Releases/4.0b3/Android-R7/multi/
(Note: to download the app directly to an AT & T phone, you will have to search for 'sideloading' instructions in the APK file, because AT & T disables the option to install non-market sources.)
