Re: Time Machine Backup Fails

[Alan Smith]

Update - system has “come good”.The latest attempt of the initial Time 
Machine backup worked!   (Just finished!)   

Reading the fine print of the previous Apple crash reports showed the cause was 
kernel panic, with different possible triggers.  I had spent the morning 
perusing the Apple Support docs for kernel panic, OS X recovery and creating a 
copy of OS X on an external USB drive.  First task was to ensure I had a clean 
desk and create another SuperDuper bootable backup.  

Apple recommended closing all apps while tracing the source of kernel panic 
(suggesting the fault may lie with third party apps).  I kept Console and 
Preview open but forgot about Growl and Dropbox and possible other hidden apps. 
  I may have had Safari launched during previous attempts at Time Machine 
backup.

Well, I cried “wolf”, but I really think the beast must still be lurking there 
somewhere.  I will now clean up some of the odd things logged by Console, 
including iMovie, Microsoft Office, and Citrix GoToMeeting apps.

Cheers
Alan

Re: Pages

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Juliet & Bill,

Option+Shift+8 produced one like this: Temperature Symbol: 30°
Option+K types a symbol like this: Degree Symbol: 30˚

These keystrokes are universal and supported by everywhere you can type in OS 
X, it doesn’t matter what app you’re in on the Mac. As long as there is a text 
entry point, you can type the degree symbol, be it in Pages, Messages, Word, 
Safari, Chrome, or any other text editor or word processor.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Rod

 Those drives are fine, even WD Elements are fine and can be formatted
for Mac. I sell both to my clients.
 The only time I need to go to the Passport for Mac is if they want
the "lock the drive with a password" feature, which is built into the
drive itself, so the software can talk to it. This is where you have
to unlock the drive before it mounts.
 If you're using "Encrypt Time Machine" backup feature built into Time
Machine System Preference setting, then this isn't an issue

 Other then that they're pretty much the same. 

 Kind regards
 Daniel

I wish he all the best for a very good outcome.

And I hope you "Get Home in time for Christmas"!

Hi Ronni

Well I think everything is now sorted back home, as I spoke to Cath
today and she read your replies to me and did realise she had done the
id. She then used the apple site to manage her id and redo her
password which she couldnt find, so now has her own Apple id, which
she can use on the new ipad air she bought so she can use the app!!! A
big week for her and as well as working flat out!!

Cath and I both send our heart felt thanks to you Ronni for your

 Hi Wamuggers

 Im still out in the Atlantic off Gabon with some promise of being home
 before Christmas, which would be nice!

 My wife has just had an operation on her ear to improve hearing, and
 part of the post surgery is for her to download an app which she can
 use to 'train her brain' to use the implant for successful hearing.
 Amazing stuff.

 However, she faces a dilemma, as her iphone 4s was bought with my 4s a
 few years back on the same Telstra plan, and I had to use my Apple id
 and password on both, for some reason that now I dont remember nor
 understand.

 So she is unable to access my details using her phone to go to itunes
 to download the app.

 My question t
