Re: Back up not working
Hi Graeme, First: Make sure you are running the latest version of DejaVu. Download and reinstall. Second: The 2 TB drive in place is connected to my IMac via USB and the 1 TB connected to this via 800 Firewire The 2TB Drive should be connected to the iMac FW 800 and the 1TB connected to the 2TB via FW 800. You have to have the first drive in the chain turned on if you want the second drive to be recognised by OS X. A FireWire cable between Drive 1 and Drive 2 will NOT be recognised. That only works if Drive 1 is connected to the computer via FireWire as well As I understand it you are currently trying to use a chain along the lines of: Computer-USB-Drive 1--FW--Drive 2 The results of this would match your observations. A FireWire cable between Drive 1 and Drive 2 will NOT be recognised. That only works if Drive 1 is connected to the computer via FireWire as well. Try doing this first and then run a Manual Backup using DejaVu. If it doesn’t backup correctly post back as you could have the interpreter installed in the wrong place: The interpreter might not be installed where it should be, it might be in /usr/local/bin instead of usr/bin. I will be out for some of tonight so might not be able to get back to you until tomorrow.

What do you mean by 'in place'? Is this drive an internal drive, or is it an external drive? As you have an iMac, I assume it is an external drive unless you replaced the optical drive. In the case of an external drive, what type of connection is there between that drive and your Mac (Firewire, USB)? You say 'Attached to this is a 1 TB WD drive'. I therefore assume you have a firewire connection as such a connection allow one to connect one drive to another. This additional info is useful to allow me to work out what may be going wrong.

Re: Back up not working
Graeme, Considering the way you have connected your drives I'm surprised that your iMac could even 'see' the second drive in your chain; good old MacOS 10. Ronda's recommendation that you also connect your Mac to the first drive via Firewire, and update to the current version of Deja Vu, will very likely solve your problem.

Re: [ADMIN] - WAMUG Survey
Hi all, I should just add that many of the respondents have complained about the assumptions in some of the questions that you can or do attend meetings and the fact that some compulsory answer do not apply to some respondents. Please do you best to submit the survey rather than just giving up. I think this is a learning experience for all of us and part of what we learn will be how to do better surveys. :-) For a question that is not applicable to you but requires and answer, just select any response and note in a comment somewhere that this answer does not apply. The submission of the survey may be computer controlled, but it is the human volunteers of the committee that will try to interpret and act on what you would like to see happen. Remember the surveys are anonymous so feel free to have your say! Cheers, Carlo On 07/03/2012, at 19:58 , Ronda Brown wrote: Excellent Stuart, I won't even add anything to your post!

More on web privacy
Hi 'Muggers, Here is a good and readable article on how our online privacy is collapsing. There are no new mechanisms in place, but the trend is that tracking organiszation such as double-click (a Google acquisition) that once only inhabited a small fraction of websites, are now ubiquitous. Another interesting fact is that the facebook like button, or the Tweet button, not only server the purpose of allowing you to post a website to facebook or Twitter, but they double as trackers. With Google's recent change of policy, they are now unifying all the data they collect from ad-mob, double-click, Google analytics, Google search engine, gmail, youtube, Picasa and others services.

Re: [ADMIN] - WAMUG Survey
Wasn't going to reply back to this,...but I think I'll add my bit, then be done with it. (Thanks Stuart and Ronni). The survey was modified a while back, so really only had TWO questions that had to be answered. Were you a paid member or not, and Do you attend the meetings. The rest could be completely left alone and not answered. As the others had mentioned, it wasn't compulsory. No was told they had to do it, people were just asked if they wouldn't mind doing it so we could get some feedback for WAMUG in general. Not all the items are mutually exclusive. There are three parts to it. Members/Non Members. People that come to the meetings/People that don't. Mailing List Members/Non Maling list members. And it's not to say that all Financial members come to the meetings. Or that all mailing list members are financial. So the best canvas was the mailing list to get feedback. For anything WAMUG. Be it the mailing list, the meetings, whatever. We created a short (Free) survey which only gave us 10 questions, without paying a silly fee per year to cover it. Of which we can do more free surveys if we so choose. Once it was approved it then went to list. And the object of it was to get feedback. Be it to help the meetings, the mailing list,..whatever. Just WAMUG in general. Seeing as WAMUG is not one sole thing, but a combination of lots of things (Meetings and the mailing list being the two main things,...well, and Committee you could say,..lol). It's strange that when I first posted under the [ADMIN] email address on the 24th February, there was nothing really mentioned about it, but when asked about it at the meeting for some who hadn't seen it and I said I'd repost it via my name, it's created more feedback on list. Does the Admin post get missed, or just wasn't seen at the time for the queries now I'm just curious. By all means we're open to feedback about these sort of things. We rarely post or disturb the list from the committee side of things, bar the reminders for meetings or events, but we also have to try and expand WAMUG in general as best we can. So we rely on feedback and ideas from everyone. Hence the idea of an anonymous survey. Since posted we've had the number increase to 46. so it's certainly doing what we intended. Had it gone to just people who come to the meetings this would be a lot less. Had it gone to just financial members, this may have been less as well. But to combine all three groups (mailing list, meeting attendees, financial members...and so on), then we get a lot more replies/cross-groups/different opinions for the whole thing. Apologies if this comes across wrongly, or harshly, as it's not meant to. I'm just trying to clarify the underlying purpose of what the Survey was for. And why. I'm sure I could waffle on, as I can do sometimes, but I think I covered what I wanted to say :o)) I won't say any more on the subject now,... /closes mouth and sits back in his corner to finish his other work..

Please do you best to submit the survey rather than just giving up.

New iPad details
Woke up at 2am accidentally, so here's the latest news. So the new iPad has an extremely high resolution Retina screen 2048x1536 or exactly twice the resolution (4x the number of pixels) as the iPad 2. 1 million more pixels than a Full HD TV. Not bad for 4G LTE (and newer faster HSDPA up to 42Mbps) A5x w quad core GPU chip 5 megapixel camera on back Auto focus Image stabilization 1080p video recording Slightly thicker (9.4mm vs 8.8mm) and little bit heavier than iPad 2 (in order to get same battery life despite 4G) Voice dictation (but no Siri) Same prices as iPad 2 Available March 16 Still has a physical Home button Minor upgrade to AppleTV - now supports 1080p and movies in iCloud New iWork apps new GarageBand and iMovie New iPhoto app ( supports sharing to Facebook) iPad 2 now available for $399 (16GB wifi) - whoa, that's going to hurt competitors It's just called the new iPad. No 3 or HD or 2s. Weird. No iOS update mentioned.

Re: IOS 5.1 Upgrade
For anyone wishing to update their iPad, iPhone of iPod Touch via wireless to iOS 5.1: Here's how you can install iOS 5.1 via wireless to your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. 1. Make sure your iOS device is connected to a power source. 2. Go to Settings then General then Software Update. 3. iOS will look for an update automatically. 4. If an update is available, tap Download. 5. After iOS 5.1 downloads, tap the Install button to update your device.

(Thanks Stuart and Ronni). The survey was modified a while back, so really only had TWO questions that had to be answered. Were you a paid member or not, and Do you attend the meetings. The rest could be completely left alone and not answered. As the others had mentioned, it wasn't compulsory. No was told they had to do it, people were just asked if they wouldn't mind doing it so we could get some feedback for WAMUG in general. Not all the items are mutually exclusive. There are three parts to it. Members/Non Members. People that come to the meetings/People that don't. Mailing List Members/Non Maling list members. And it's not to say that all Financial members come to the meetings. Or that all mailing list members are financial. So the best canvas was the mailing list to get feedback. For anything WAMUG. Be it the mailing list, the meetings, whatever. We created a short (Free) survey which only gave us 10 questions, without paying a silly fee per year to cover it. Of which we can do more free surveys if we so choose. Once it was approved it then went to list. And the object of it was to get feedback. Be it to help the meetings, the mailing list,..whatever. Just WAMUG in general. Seeing as WAMUG is not one sole thing, but a combination of lots of things (Meetings and the mailing list being the two main things,...well, and Committee you could say,..lol). It's strange that when I first posted under the [ADMIN] email address on the 24th February, there was nothing really mentioned about it, but when asked about it at the meeting for some who hadn't seen it and I said I'd repost it via my name, it's created more feedback on list. Does the Admin post get missed, or just wasn't seen at the time for the queries now I'm just curious. By all means we're open to feedback about these sort of things. We rarely post or disturb the list from the committee side of things, bar the reminders for meetings or events, but we also have to try and expand WAMUG in general as best we can. So we rely on feedback and ideas from everyone. Hence the idea of an anonymous survey. Since posted we've had the number increase to 46. so it's certainly doing what we intended. Had it gone to just people who come to the meetings this would be a lot less. Had it gone to just financial members, this may have been less as well. But to combine all three groups (mailing list, meeting attendees, financial members...and so on), then we get a lot more replies/cross-groups/different opinions for the whole thing. Apologies if this comes across wrongly, or harshly, as it's not meant to. I'm just trying to clarify the underlying purpose of what the Survey was for. And why. I'm sure I could waffle on, as I can do sometimes, but I think I covered what I wanted to say :o)) I won't say any more on the subject now,... /closes mouth and sits back in his corner to finish his other work..

Please do you best to submit the survey rather than just giving up. I think this is a learning experience for all of us and part of what we learn will be how to do better surveys. :-) For a question that is not applicable to you but requires and answer, just select any response and note in a comment somewhere that this answer does not apply. The submission of the survey may be computer controlled, but it is the human volunteers of the committee that will try to interpret and act on what you would like to see happen. Remember the surveys are anonymous so feel free to have your say! Cheers, Carlo On 07/03/2012, at 19:58 , Ronda Brown wrote: Excellent Stuart, I won't even add anything to your post! Well, Other than this... The survey was designed to get feedback... Feedback nothing more, nothing less! If it was only sent to financial members, then that would exclude members who go to the meetings. The Survey is to get any form of feedback that helps WAMUG grow! Cheers, Ronni who also can not attend the WAMUG meetings. Sent from Ronni's iPad On 07/03/2012, at 7:43 PM, Stuart Evans stuart.ev...@t4.com.au
Re: IOS 5.1 Upgrade
Hi Ronni Thanks for that but, not knowing of that option, it would not have occurred to me to use that method. It begs the question why such a warning is not given prior to upgrading. To paraphrase your if Apple recommends then if Ronni recommends, I will do it.
