Re: iCal acting strange

[George R. Hozendorf]

Curiosity killed the cat.  Couldn't wait til morning.  I did exactly  
as you said.  When I opened iCal, all my events were there with the  
same time problem.  Did a restart with no different results.  It's  
twilight zone and gremlins combined.

Yeah, part of my point. Little content other than a push toward favored
solution sellers. I did mention my media studies, right? Had the article
been thick with logic and reasoning I would have thought the intent really
was to give users a heads up for recovery archiving. I do not blame you.
This is what passes on the net for serious journalism these days. Thinly
veiled sales pitches. Only one step up from " hey , Senor, you want to see
pictures of my seester?"

Don't take it personally Dan.It was not meant as such. It was a commentary
on the media not you.

And you are more than smart enough to parse what I have already written on
the subject. i have said enough.

RE: Backups? !!!

[Stewie de Young]

Perfectly true of course Adrian like Bruces' comments but I think the good 
thing about threads like this every now and again is that it reminds everyone 
to have a backup strategy in place and to implement it.
I have been amazed at how many companies I have come in contact with ( I am not 
an IT pro just an enthusiastic amateur who seems to be the fixit guy for 
friends , neighbours etc ) that have no backups in place and they include a 
couple with twenty to thirty employees !

The key questions to ask yourself:



How much is my stuff worth to me?



How much will it cost me to recreate all of it?



If your answer to the second question involved financing research into

practical methods of time travel, you need a better backup strategy.



Besides, corporations, Google and the Internet Archive are keeping the

hard drive industry afloat. Drive sales to individual users are a

vanishingly small segment of the industry.

Go into the main users Library/Calendar folder (hereafter referred to  
as ~/Library), make sure iCal is not running and move the contents of  
the folder somewhere else.

Now do the same for the contents of ~/Library/Application Support/iCal  
and the iCal prefs (there may be several) in ~/Library/Preferences.

Now start iCal; it should create a complete blank slate calendar, see  
if it works.

Now if you've been synching with your iPhone, a sync *should* restore  
all your calendar stuff, if not your calendar items can be restored by  
dragging all the .ics files from the Calendar folder contents into the  
open iCal application.

Re: Backups? !!!

[Baha Ata]

second hardisc is not the solution if time travel needs for your rescue...

i lost 3 TB data because of electric problem in Turkey...

Those discs are backuped internal other 3 TB

And yes i got good UPS

But all of them gone...

Remote backup or just a handy external HD is the answer...

I use Time Machine with 24 hours backup intervals with 1.5 TB External
nowadays...

Because i need the open my workstation for 24 hours and something migth
happen that i need to stop prevent further disaster but i could not be there
as i lived.

Good to have extra drives for backup, but keeping them hot (powered, 
spun up, and/or mounted) leaves them vulnerable to both hardware 
failures and software "attacks".

Temperature controlled garage?  Burned optical media are quite temp & 
humidity sensitive.

No.  Sounds like a decent strategy to me.

Everyone should keep a set of backups off-site; even if it's just 
stashed in a friend's sock drawer.

Have you tried using iCal after moving aside your calendars and such?
Or tried using it from a diff user account?

RE: Backups? !!!

[Stewie de Young]

I personally install a second hard drive in all my desktop computers .
This is so I can perform maintenance tasks by booting up from the second hard 
drive and for more importantly , backing up my data off the primary drive.
Then I hitch up my Firewire drive and back up to that as well. I do this at the 
end of every day.
At the end of each week I lug my partners FW drive around and back up all my 
data to that as well , returning that to her the following morning.
When I have enough data to fill a DVD or CD I burn that to disc and store it in 
her garage, usually wiping the data off her drive.
A bit too far you think - maybe, but I have had a few hard drive failures and 
seen a lot of Raid arrays go South in the past as well as numerous fires and 
theft from homes and businesses.
I have also had a friend who suffered a lightning strike on his home and apart 
from his stereo and TV being fried, lost his computer with two internal drives 
and two connected external hard drives. No recovery possible. All his data from 
7+ years gone - family photos , songs , client records.
Have I ever lost any of my or clients data - yes, but I have always been able 
to restore it from a backup.

Re: iCal acting strange

[George R. Hozendorf]

Set and reset both within iCal and System Prefs.  No change.  I really  
need to be able to enter time begin and time end.  I guess I'll pull  
an older version off an old backup and see if it can be installed and  
work properly.

Ummm... I have witnessed irrevocable data loss from each and every one  
of those scenarios.

The key questions to ask yourself:

How much is my stuff worth to me?

How much will it cost me to recreate all of it?

If your answer to the second question involved financing research into  
practical methods of time travel, you need a better backup strategy.

Besides, corporations, Google and the Internet Archive are keeping the  
hard drive industry afloat. Drive sales to individual users are a  
vanishingly small segment of the industry.

Mac users need to all buy more drive hardware. The industry needs a cash
injection.

That's what I saw.

Re: Multiple HDs & os x

[Mel]

Download CCC (Carbn Copy Cloner) and use CCC.  It should do what you want.

Better, buy a used 50 pin IDE HD of lets say 40GB to 60GB.  You can usually buy 
these for under $35.00 shipped.  Format that slave HD with two partitions.  Use 
CCC to copy from your Master 40GB HD to one of the partitions.  Use CCC to copy 
form your 12GB HD to the same partition.  Then boot from that slave HD,

Etc.

If it works, you will have an extra HD and can use the 12GB as a backup drive 
with OS 10.4.11 installed on it.
