Questions about the Time Capsule

Hello

I currently have an iMac 21.5 "4 k (end of 2015) with SSD and a 3 TB eternal desktop hard drive allows you to store my media (music, movies, photos, etc.).

I am looking to buy a Capsule 2 TB to save my iMac and my MBA. The TC would very probably connected to the iMac to help speed.

My questions are:

(1) if I used the only time Capsule for backup using Time Machine would I be able to plug my external hard drive on the TC and use it as a NAS? Mainly, I just want to be able to access my files from hard drive on my MBA and another windows PC wireless.

(2) If, by connecting an external hard drive TB would be catalogues Lightroom is more recognized? (Ive heard that Lightroom will not access Lightroom catalogs if they are on the NAS, or the fact that the TC is Wi - Fi and wouldn't change that?)

Thank you

The TC is one extreme with a hard drive inside... It is not and will never be a SIN. (which means that it is far from even the most basic models specifications.)

If you're going to do this...

Sorry, but you're better off buying another big fast USB drive and use it for backups.

You can use your Mac media. There is no need to use a TC.

(1) if I used the only time Capsule for backup using Time Machine would I be able to plug my external hard drive on the TC and use it as a NAS? Mainly, I just want to be able to access my files from hard drive on my MBA and another windows PC wireless.

Yes, you can... but you can already do this... plugged into the Mac HD.

You simply need to open the share for the right folders... and make sure the files you share live in these records.

(2) If, by connecting an external hard drive TB would be catalogues Lightroom is more recognized? (Ive heard that Lightroom will not access Lightroom catalogs if they are on the NAS, or the fact that the TC is Wi - Fi and wouldn't change that?)

I can't answer this one... but I can tell you that any network drive is identical to any other network drive... A NAS is a network drive... is a TC... The wired wireless vs makes no difference whatsoever... If lightroom will not work on a NAS, it won't work on a TC.

There are other big issues... it will be slower and it will be not possible to backup... and it will be less reliable and more expensive...

... Ultimately, your iMac is a desktop computer so you can connect a stack of disks inside... USB3 is 5 x faster than gigabit...

And will work much better.

  • A question about the insertion of the localTimeStamp returned the value into a timestamp with time zone column

    Hello

    Oracle version: Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.1.0 - 64 bit

    OS: CentOS 4.6 X86_64                  

    I have a question about the localTimeStamp function. According to the documentation for this function is
    the same thing as current_TimeStamp except that the returned value does not include the time zone.

    Consider the following example:

    SQL > create table tmptab (colval timestamp with time zone not null);

    Table created.

    SQL > insert into tmptab (colval) values (localTimeStamp);

    1 line of creation.

    SQL > select t1.colval, tmptab from t1;

    COLVAL

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    24 JANUARY 14 09.45.42.253732 H + 01:00

    SQL >

    Why introduce the foregoing did not fail? the data type of the column in my table colval expects a timestamp with time zone

    during each which inserts as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is not provided by the localTimeStamp function.

    Could someone kindly tell me what I misunderstood?

    Thanks in advance,

    Then, when you do

    create table t (neck DATE);

    Insert into t (to_date ('1st January 2014', ' mon-dd-yyyy "");)

    Are you surprised that it works? After all a DATE column contains a time component, you do not provide: but he

    works and gives you 00:00:00 as the component "hour".

    Similarly, the timezone component is being developed to automatically with, I think, time zone of your system.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

  • How does the Time Capsule?

    I'm looking into buying time Capsule Airpot but I have a few questions and hoping someone can help! I'm basically looking for a way to back up my MacBook Pro and replace my crappy router in the thought process was a good deal... However what I was asking, that's exactly how the backup works? It's like an external hard drive where my information will sit until the end of time? Or will they finally deleted? Like say I backup all my pictures and then remove them from my MacBook... They are never saved on the time Capsule airport or eventually be deleted?

    I suggest a visit to Time Machine FAQ of Pondini for more information about Time Machine. Time Machine performs a type of backup archives where the old files can be deleted and replaced by new ones. Time Machine backup on a disk in the time Capsule.

    TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

    So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

    Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

    Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

  • Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

    My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

    For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

  • Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

    I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

    (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

    (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

    (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

    (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

    (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers:
    1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
    2 - Yes.
    3 - Yes.
    4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
    5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

    In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    You experience slow response on normal s tablet, the first gen one or the Xperia s tablet, a new.

    If you experience a slow response, it may be because you use too many apps at the time and slowing down of your tablet. How long it lasts?

  • A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

    Dear Sir

    I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

    I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

    Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

    Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

    In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

    Thank you very much.

    So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

    Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

    If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

    It is not changed in vSphere 5.

  • Question about the balloon pilot

    Hello

    I have a question about the balloon pilot in ESX/ESXi 4.x. When the pilot is "inflated" the reason is to reveal to the ESX host memory of comments in fact is not used and that memory could be recovered by the host. However, the driver must be loaded all the time for this memory to be used by the host, as in giving him another VM?

    Or is it just inflate and deflate so and there is no need to stay charged?

    Once that memory has been retrieved the pilot deflates on its own.

  • Question about the need to connect every 30 days...

    I understand the need for CC programs to connect to license Adobe servers, every 30 days (or it's 99, since I have an annual license?) of re - check license status.  That said, I have a question about the timing of these connections the licence renewal.

    What happens if I happen to be disconnected so far here 30?

    With the help of Microsoft for example...  I need Visual Studio to reactivate my developers license every 30 days in order for me to develop applications Windows 8 'metro '.  If I happen to be disconnected so far here 30, I am unable to work on any apps 'metro' until I got online.  (And I don't see any way to tell him to reactivate at the beginning).

    What happens with Adobe CC?

    Suppose I have license, and I am online for 29 days.  Then, the 30th day, I find myself be in offline mode when I start one of the programs of CC.  Now what?  Does the 30-day clock 'reset' every now and then during this time, or is it really only try every 30 days, and I have to be online on that day?

  • A few Questions about the advanced Actions window

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the progress of the Actions (using the version of track CP7)

    1. What is the function of the action to "continue?"   Out of the peak action and advance the playback cursor?

    2. What does mean this comment "Nested calls to action advanced is a nice improvement."? Is the advanced decision at the top of a page of action tabs?

    3. What is the function of the option "custom" in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?

    4. where can I get information about the timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions, i.e. where the playhead is going again at the beginning of the slide. slide custom question - display button, e.g. verification of responses, comments - when all the objects are at the beginning of the timeline. I'm looking more for the read head of infromation functionality rather than how to implement this type of question.

    Thank you

    Donal.

    Continue: If an advanced standard action is triggered by a button, this will not trigger the playback head. If you want out, you can use continues. Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one orders branching has nothing to special, but in advance. Continuous is also the "dummy" statement/command (this is the official name of a line in the dialog box advanced actions) If a statement has become unusable due to some reasons, it will be replaced by continue

    There is no nested call stocks advanced possible right now, one of my many feature requests. It would be sort of a subroutine that you can use over and over again, instead of having to create each time when necessary.

    A decision is one of the conditions to be an advanced conditional action. They allow to create more complex actions, as a loop or arrays are not possible. All decisions are executed in sequence and always.

    Custom: is a combination of or but it is rather limited, because you cannot use parentheses.

    I guess you'd better visit my blog if you want to learn more about the advanced actions.

    I also did several Webinars on stocks advanced, last this afternoon (on the sharing of the actions) for Adobe. They are all available on request.

  • Question about the interruptions and priming

    Hello

    I had a few questions about the startup and interruptions in a virtualized environment

    Assuming that, plenty of virtualization (no material assistance to virtualization of memory ).

    1 initialization: in an ordinary PC, the boot process starts with the BIOS, to expansion ROM, back to the BIOS and MBR secondary boot record, then grub (is it) and finally the operating system. In a virtualized environment with VMM running directly on top of hardware (Native VMM), how is the initialization of the different process, as I understand it takes BIOS-> Expansion ROM - > BIOS-MBR-> other record secondary-> VMM-> OS--> applications >. Am I right on that?

    2 breaks: VMM examines the source interruptions prior to the interruption, so in a multicore environment, assuming a 2 processor core, how the VMM decides on the kernel for which the interruption in intended, prior to shipment of the interruption. Interruptions are tag ID, said core ID?

    Thanks in advance

    It is simplistic but essentially correct.  A metaphor would be a little better thinking that the hypervisor/vmm is an operating system, except that the process on this operating system are requests or comments OSes.  If the BIOS-> OPROM-> BIOS-> MBR-> hypervisor-> init process of the hypervisor-> reviews of fork () s operating systems.  This can become blurred by the design choices (for example Xen/Hyper-V init start a coded parent hard partition that makes hypercalls privileged to fork() guest OSes; ESXi init runs a very limited subset of applications directly on the hypervisor and ESX Classic is somewhere between these approaches).

    There is a subtle distinction between "hypervisor" and "www."  The "hypervisor" is the operating system of single root (e.g. ESX) who interacts directly with the hardware and has access to everything; a hypervisor is not to be used to run virtual machines.  When we talk about a "hypervisor", the tendency is to describe something which is a BONE (although usually a minimal OS designed only to run virtual machines).  The "www" is the layer that allows a virtual machine run: it provides the interposition, virtualization and emulation services and can be plural (for example a vmm by guest operating system).  Architecture of VMware deal with these two separate components, while most other virtualization platforms merge the two.

    Strictly speaking, the interruption is not transmitted to a guest operating system - receives the hypervisor (or rather the VMM it transmits to the hypervisor), the hypervisor drivers interpret the interruption (for example reading package of NIC, I/O process of HBA, the timer tick completion), then after a new appropriate break in the guest OS.

  • Question about the sizing of the portalControlTreeCache

    I have a question about the sizing of the WLP caches that are based on the number of users of the portal in general and the portalControlTreeCache in particular. Are the caches replicated on servers managed in a cluster, or specific to each server? So if I have 4 servers in the cluster, and the maximum number of users at the same time for my application I expect 10000, I can set the size of the cache to 2500 + -, or should I size to 10000 + -?

    Thank you!

    Cache is not replicated on the nodes in the cluster. The number of entries in cache per cluster node will vary with load balancing algorithm and your stiffness of the session. You should also take into account what might happen if a cluster node is taken offline and users of this node now failover to the secondary server. But as a general rule, your thought process is accurate about 100,000 concurrent users / 4 knots = 2500 users per server. Note that only users who have personalized their desktop will get a controlTreeCache entry. No custom desktop computers share a single controlTree cached.
