Is the alarm an app? How do you keep it from going off when you pick it up?
You can't stop a thief from disabling Find my iPhone, you can only delay them. You have to work fast. And you have to use passcodes.

A theif can still wipe the phone, but that would also wipe your data so at least you don't lose that. Find my iPhone not really meant to catch thieves but to protect your data.
Cheers,

Carol, I believe what you read is that most cellular providers have agreed to deny service to cell phones that have been reported stolen to them.
What is it that you use to set the alarm?

My brother-in-law is a somewhat new Mac User. He uses two drives for Time Machine backups. He take the most current one to his safe deposit box and brings home the one that is there and plugs it in. After a week or so, he then takes that one to the safe deposit box and brings the first one back to his Mac and plugs it in to become current. He has a lot of photos and financial info on it that he wants access to if, for instance, his house was to burn down or someone was to steal his Mac. That way, he would only lose the last weeks info if either of those were to happen.
From your previous comment, it looks like he couldn't restore from the one that was in the safe deposit box if either disaster were to happen. Is this true? (If so, he is going to a lot of trouble for nothing.)

I have no idea. I'd suggest he test and see. Id Say that he's most likely be able to do it. In any case, he'd be able to access the data on the remaining drive via the Finder.

I hope not: this a good strategy. Surely it can't be difficult to do a test
restore?
Any backup strategy, no matter how good in theory, is worthless unless it
is tested periodically, i.e., restore from a backup and ensure the files
are intact.

Time Machine backups are *best* suited for the situation where, for example, you inadvertently delete your entire Documents folder, empty the trash, then think, "Oh crap..."
They certainly *can* be used for restoring an entire dead hard drove, but a better choice for that, in my opinion, is the bootable clone backup -- using SuperDuper! or CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner), you can make an EXACT copy of your drive that is bootable, and up to date as of the completion of the copy.
With the clone method, a drive on the desk, and an alternate in the safe/vault works quite well.

FWIW, here's the way I keep my web server backed up:
Mac Mini [Lion] Server has 2-500 GB drives internally , an external 500
GB TM drive and an external 500 GB Firewire drive kept offsite.
On a daily basis, SuperDuper! clones the main drive to the secondary
using smart copy.
Every 4 hours, Time Machine runs and backs up any changes.
Weekly, the Firewire drive is mounted, and another Smart Copy clone is
made with SuperDuper!
I figure that
the internal drive is a near-real time bootable backup in case the
main drive fails
(this scenario happened last week and I was online again in 10
minutes)
the TM drive is for those "ooops" moments when a folder or file is
deleted or overwritten
the 3rd drive is there in case everything goes pear-shaped and I
need a new server - just pop the drive in and start the backups again

Hi Jim: With my cataract surgery I chose what is called "blended vision," in which the weaker eye eye sees near and the dominant eye sees distance. They are matched so that there is no dead space. It's quite seamless, actually. I can read anything from very tiny 4 pt type and can drive without glasses. But it is a monovision, and some people may have difficulty adjusting, especially if it isn't balanced. I am careful when walking on uneven surfaces, for example. I had a friend who chose distance lenses in both eyes, so he needs to wear glasses all the time, progressives with the distance part clear.
There are also lenses that adjust to near and far -- I forget the brands now but one was Crystalens, which I seriously considered.
Carol
Jim wrote:
I find this surprising, unless they implanted a new-model "variable-focus" IOL.
Otherwise, you have a fixed focal distance lens in your eye, and something -- either near or far -- should NOT be in focus.
I've been nearsighted for about 50 years, and want good vision without glasses at the distance of an iPhone, iPad, Kindle, laptop, or book, magazine, or mail. I'm happy wearing glasses for distance/driving, since I have for all those 50 years.

I wouldn't say "not worth fretting about". I have a friend that got butchered twice in one eye by one doctor. It is an amazing medical feat, but should not be taken lightly.
You know the reason I sent my best wishes to Jim over his surgery? This is a Mac support list, so can we get back on topic?

Won't Sys Prefs/ Startup Disk pref do that for you?

Does anyone know how to get a Mac Mini to automatically restart after power failure... IF the system is running Windows under Bootcamp?
I should be able to test in a few days, but at the moment I'm working blind and I was trying to research. Can't find a good answer. It appears from what I've read that the OSX features for restarting are not persistent beyond reboot, so when you boot into Windows, they are gone. I would presume that the Windows settings won't work as Windows expects such things to be handled in the BIOS.
Anyone have a solution for this? Some type of boot loader or Bootcamp settings or something?
Cheers,
