• Question to hop in the Time Machine - Illustrator 10.

  Good guys, here's my problem.  I have a mac with Photoshop elements.  I design t-shirts for my local gym.  They just sign a contract with a small MOM and pop screen hosting. As a result, they have all saved as an Illustrator EPS, version 10 file or several.  She couldn't use my photoshop eps files.

  She is my questions.

  1. If I buy a 'new' Illustrator 10 from Amazon it will install on my mac 10.5 version or my computer is too new for this program?

  2. If it settles, can I open the PSD in Photoshop elements files in illustrator 10 and save as illustrator EPS files?

  I don't know anything about Illustrator, but I'll dive in as soon as I get it.  I really just need to open the PSD and convert it using Illustrator 10.  They need the vector files.  I just need these questions answered before you buy the program.  Thank you

  Good guys, here's my problem.

  Well, Jimi. Here are your answers...

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I have a mac with Photoshop elements.  I design t-shirts for my local gym.

  If you're talking about the design of T-Shirts involving multiple colors, you really should be using a program (whether raster or vector) able to print color separations. You can do with what you use, but you will need to work in black and white only.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  They just sign a contract with a small MOM and pop screen hosting.

  Basic questions to ask at the shop of the screen:

  • What do you use for your "film positive" with which you expose your screens? (Ex: impressions laser on vellum translucent or clear acetate; litho real films shot on a device of original thought... process)
  • Can you maintain screens tint or halftone; or are you limited to the art of the line?
  • If you can print the tintscreens or the halftone, what is the ruling of maximum line you can hold?

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  As a result, they have all saved as an Illustrator EPS, version 10 file or several.

  Why? Assuming that they are printing their originals, they should be able to print from a PDF of the color separation.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  She couldn't use my photoshop eps files.

  EPS is encapsulated PostScript. It must be a PostScript to EPS printer print correctly. PDF can be printed both PostScript and non-PostScript devices, frequent at MOM & filter anti-pop stores.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  1. If I buy a 'new' Illustrator 10 from Amazon it will install on my mac 10.5 version or my computer is too new for this program?

  You don't need the old version. Current version can back - record formats inherited version. It is usually false economy to go around buying obsolete software.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  2. If it settles, can I open the PSD in Photoshop elements files in illustrator 10 and save as illustrator EPS files?

  You can open an EPS with Illustrator file (pretty well regardless of what program exported EPS). But that doesn't automatically make the needs of the shop of the screen. Forget the EPS. It is the nature of the content that matters.

  EPS is a metadata format. Think it's just a "warpper" or a "black box" that can hold different types of data objects which are understood by a PostScript device.

  For example: assume that your work is an RGB of halftone image you built in Photoshop and then exported in EPS file. Open the EPS in Illustrator and then give to the shop of the screen is not accomplish anything. After opening in Illustrator, you then just a native Illustrator file that contains a RGB raster image. How would he a difference whatsoever, as to whether the screen shop can print it?

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I don't know anything about Illustrator, but I'll dive in as soon as I get it.

  Modern.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I really just need to open the PSD and convert it using Illustrator 10.

  No, you haven't. See above.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  They need the vector files.

  Big misconceptions:

  • Simply open a file (regardless of format) in Illustrator is not magically that he "vector".
  • Being fully vector is not magically, ensure that it the limitations of repro of MOM & filter anti-pop stores.
  • Most of the MOM & pop screenshots are not really limited to work with vector illustrations; they just think they are.

  Screen mom & pop stores very often say 'We need vector illustrations' when in fact what they really mean is "We need line art."

  It's really very simple:

  Denominator common for shops to screen mom & pop requirements is as follows: a single image of art of black line for each color used in the design. That's all. They are going to take a copy of this solid black image, printed on a transparent or translucent medium at least and it can block light that will expose a screen. They do it separately for each ink (color) will be printed on the shirt.

  Line drawing means "without tone." In other words, nothing which prints as a screen of dots as a screen tint or a semitone. In other words, no detail too small to be taken in charge by the mesh of the physical screen.

  Line drawing can be created with both raster and vector programs. You can 'paint' a raster image that will print as art of the black solid line in Photoshop just as easily as you can 'draw' traced that will print as black line art continues in Illustrator.

  No matter whether you are creating the linework in Photoshop or Illustrator (or more any other mainstream graphics program), you can save it as a PDF ready to print. This PDF can be opened and printed by the shop of MOM & pop screen using nothing more than the free software Adobe Reader.

  But the content of this PDF (e.g.: the art of the black line continues; a page by ink) is up to you to create properly. This requires only to understand the fundamentals of color separation and the creation of your work accordingly.

• I want to use Time Machine to format a new disk

  I had a hard drive failure (it was always a secondary drive) and I want to format a replacement with Time Machine backups of the drive it is replacing. How can I do this?

  You use utility disk to format, then Time machine to restore the files.

  OS X: on the recovery of OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 - "OS X Lion and later versions include OS X Recovery. This function includes all the tools you need to reinstall OS X, repair your drive and even restore from a backup Time Machine. "- More information on the recovery of the Internet.

• Sierra - changes to files, Log and the impact to Time Machine

  Hello

  Updated for Sierra and have a minor but very annoying problem. I hope someone can help.

  In the Sierra before the SYSLOG command would print the system from the Console log. Time Machine executions have been recorded there. With a simple command-line grep "iMac com.apple.backupd" I could find all the Time Machine backups and see backup times and pass/fail status, when an error has occurred, the error type.

  Monitor the status of backup is critical for me.

  In the Sierra, the log files are completely different. I can't find where time machine stores its entries or what these entries look like.

  Anyone know how Sierra I accomplish the above? In a log file or elsewhere?

  Thank you

  Al

• I use Time Machine?

  I use a Mac mini (end of 2014), and I pretty much only contained iTunes, a few documents and Pages numbers I really protect.

  Most of my use of this Mac mini is surfing on the internet and the steam games.

  The question is do I really Time Machine, my external hard drive use 196 GB of storage for this purpose, and I only really maybe 20 GB of data that I care really protect.

  I got the idea to turn off time Machine and using an SDXC card to contain important data.

  If you are sure of what data should be protected, it is absolutely perfect use an SDXC card for this. Alternatively, you can exclude things you don't want to backup in Time Machine.

• can I save an external drive for Time Machine with my laptop SSD?

  just found this post that answers my question can I set up Time Machine to back up sometimes my hard drive and an external hard drive?

• Time Machine backup failure

  I get the message:

  Time Machine could not complete the backup "Backups Time Machine". Full backup impossible. An error occurred during the creation of the backup folder.

  I reboot the system and am able to do the backup.

  Three questions:

  1 is my default backup drive and must be replaced?

  2. If I get a new drive, do I need to do any formatting when connecting it to my system?

  3. is there anything else that would work not to mention that the system restarts?

  Thank you!

  I should add that failures occur about once or twice a week.

• Failures of Time machine

  I had failures where time machine has failed to create a backup.  I was able to work around the problem by rebooting my mac.  After I do it, I select the time machine icon on the line top of the machine and do a 'back up now '.  Then it's successful.  Three questions:

  1. What's happening here?

  2. do you have any suggestions?

  3. I don't have not tried "save now" without rebooting.  Would this work?

  Please do reset a SCM and reset the PRAM, it is possible your drive external hard is preparing to fail and must be replaced. If you have purchased an external hard drive of product mass as that of WD or Seagate, consider a higher quality (and prices) as an OWC Mercury Elite Pro external hard drive, you can find them at www.macsales.com

  If you don't know how to resets of the terms above, please click on iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  https://Bombich.com/

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

  Ciao.

• Questions of Time Machine

  I have a MacBookPro Retina Display 2012, running OS X 10.11.6.

  I tried to use Time Machine to back up this system (a single) on TWO external drives.  Lately, I am having some problems.  In other words, when I try to restore, or even to find a file, I get the erratic results.  For example, earlier today, I selected a file I have to restore a previous version on my system, then entered in Time Machine.  Alas, after 'today,' Time Machine seems to see NO file in this directory, although as the graph moves in time, I'LL see quick flashes of the text, which means that the files are there...   It gets weirder, but before we get too deep, thought I would ask this:

  Time Machine CAN store up to TWO external drives?  If the answer is no, then I probably have the answer.

  Thoughts?  (and thanks)

  Fred

  Fred,

  I'll assume you're is not at the same time on two external drives, but rather a back up to a disk which is then disconnected and replaced by another reader for use with Time Machine.

  While I'm not personally Time machine running with two external drives, I know people who did this. The danger is that it can become confusing for the user, and I'm sure you want to make sure that each volume names are distinct in order to keep track from backup is which.

• My Clickfree automatic backup drive has stopped working, with my iMac, what is the best replacement to use with Time machine

  My Clickfree automatic backup drive I had for many years stopped working with my iMac, what is the best replacement to use with Time Machine.

  I can't even reformat the drive to try to start over, then think its time I invested in a high today but don't know where start looking so any advise would be a great help.

  Thank you guys

  A lot of users on these forums recommend OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series JEP due to their durability, affordability and quality of construction. I have about 6 of them connected to my iMac and have never had a speaker to fail. When a hard drive fails, substitute is a 5-minute process to re - use the box. To help you get started, you can find the line to: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

  You can find them in various ways and with a variety of configurations of connection so you can find the one that best fits your needs.

  Good luck!

• Time Machine backup question

  I just bought a Mac Mini with TWO separate drives (ssd and hard drive) and I also bought a WD 1 TB of external drive to my Time Machine backups - so my question is:-How can I make sure that the disk WD and Time Machine will back up the TWO disks? and how do I configure this? Thanks in advance.

  Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and check the exclusion list.

• Weird Time Machine question after restoration

  Hi all

  First post here so go easy on me

  I'll try and make this as brief as possible.

  I've been running an iMac 27 "2010 end (still running Lion 10.7.5, but it is stable so I have not found the need to modernize) and NAS from Synology DS212j with TB 2 * 3 disks for the last 3 years. I've set up time service Machine through DSM on the Synology with a quota of 1 200 GB for my iMac which worked perfectly while all the time, during which I restored the weird file without problem.

  Recently, for a number of reasons, I felt the need to update the OS of El Capitan to provide specific features that only there, so I made sure that my last backup was not serious and went through the upgrade process. It took a while but seems fine, but in the end, I became artifacts of the screen during the exchange between the office computers and for the worse, completely locked Mail machine as soon as you have clicked on an email. A lot of research on Google and all the patches applied but no joy, I decided to restore Lion and watch a clean install of El Crappo thereafter.

  At through the process of full restoration without problem and he has restored from the DS212j without a single question (took about 14 hours but again, it worked) and my Mac was back as if nothing ever happened. Happy days!

  Shortly after that, although the problem started with Time Machine backups do not tell me that there is not enough space on the destination to save my machine...

  1. I look into my quota on the NAS (the bit you set to ensure that backups are not the entire disk) and it tells me that there are 820 used GB which I guess is my backups Time Machine original that nothing should have changed on the NAS.

  2. I don't seem to be able to see the Time Capsule shared queue Station disk even after display in shared folders, it should he appear?

  3. I unhid it and he could ride through cmd & k and using smb / / nom_lecteur/Time Capsule so I can now see the volume in the Finder.

  4. I can see there are 2 * sparsebundle files, one for my iMac and the other for Macbook Air my wife. The file for mine displays a last updated date/time of a few minutes ago, but no size of file. The woman shows well, last time/date and file size (he stayed very well throughout this btw).

  5. when I enter Time Machine on the iMac all my historical incremental backups have disappeared and the only backup who shows also available is the date to which I restored from, nothing before and obviously nothing after because there is no space.

  I have not a clue what going on here, but it seems to me like it after restoring my sparsebundle file (which is always on the NAS and must be intact) is there, but for some reason the iMac cannot see/index / register or see one of the backups that are contained in.

  Apple support tried to help but actually said that they don't support anything other than an official time Capsule and Synology must implement the Time Machine in a different way because he could not find the sparesebundle file, only the tf volume content when it is mounted by trying to start the backup.  From what I read and checked the forums of Synology and the sheets, they don't do anything outside the norm with regard to the Time Machine application, it's literally just a network volume that stores the sparesebundle in the same Apple so designed, then why on Earth after restoring my iMac do not see the content of this sparsebundle file , and why it consumes disk space?

  So, what I'm looking for help, is this (or questions):

  A. How do I look inside the time Capsule (this is what I call the Time Machine shared disk) to see how many files is there and if there is a GB 820 that contains all the data from my legacy?

  B. someone at - it an idea how the iMac see and recognize the original file should be here?

  C. If I were to remove the rare bundle that I peut see, will that potentially be old and will be that free space that is held open and allow me to perform a full backup from scratch?

  D. If C is not the original file remains hidden, no idea how I can find...?

  E. do I have other options that you can think of...?

  Sorry, that was supposed to be brief, but I wanted to make sure I had all the info there to allow people to understand what has happened and what I did to try to resolve so far.

  Thanks in advance

  See you soon

• Backup Time Machine put on for the question of the judgment

  I use time machine - mac pro to 2008 - 1 TB drive with its own power supply - 500 GB of backups.

  Have had a few teething problems that don't seem to point to any problem-

  Before stopping - if I just saved all the files - I always ask a time machine backup.

  If I was just on the internet - I'm just asking for a backup...

  Anyway I've asked immediately rather than wait a minute--but with problems at startup - decided to wait for the minute - about 15 seconds in the time-out has heard that the drive reports the time machine was starting a backup, so I canceled the stop & waited until the backup is complete.

  So the question is if a time machine backup was cut by a stop - is there a point where it would cause problems with the next on power.

  (I noticed that on a power which had a problem - time Annex machine backup was for the same time that commissioning - and I had stop watch at the same time I started up the next day)

  Issues of time machine were related to my problems with Finder/Spotlight.

  I put the drive time machine in the private domain of Spotlight.

  A ran a disk check - no problem

  Went into the preferences of time machine and instead of just turn on--changed the drive -.

  time machine turned on

  forced a return to the top

  Entered time machine - deleted the backups of an IPHOTO library which had damaged (had deleted from the hard drive)

  Time Machine works fine

  It looks like nothing is everything
