Backup fails with an error message when trying to perform a backup
August 17th, 2005
iBackup has problems backing up folders to iDisk if those folders’ icons have been customized.
BRIEF: It’s a problem caused by folders with customized icons.
DETAILED: Sometime ago, I customized the icons for the “Library” and “Documents” folders as I didn’t like the default ones – I took the icons from the wonderful World of Aqua set of icons. When you customize the icon of a folder, a zero-sized file named “Icon?” (or Icon^M when viewed from the command line) is created inside that folder.
It seems that iBackup doesn’t cope well with this kind of files, at least when backing up to the iDisk. When the folders being backed up have a customized icon (a file named Icon?), iBackup will complain with the following error message:
“/Users/falfaro/
SOLUTION: Remove the offending “Icon?” file from the folder in question and then retry the operation.

Think about it people………. You have no idea what it is like to question doctors we entrust our children to, when doctors are capable of making mistakes just like us. Whether you stand on left or right foot with this debate, the true questions is…………..
Should parents no longer be able to make decisions for their children based on experiences? Is that not what parenting is about? We experience things in life we don’t want to see our children repeat, or things that may hurt them, we try to protect them………..
We have a society of money hungry people making dollars over fist off our sick children. How are we to believe vaccines are not the cause of various ailments?
I think regardless of where you stand, I think you people are rude and insensitive.
Bob, you keep doing what is right for you and yours. That after all is our JOB as parents.

As always, ordering flowers and a cake through AUTSUN was quick, prompt, and reliable (even though I ordered the night before, the gifts were delivered promptly by the next evening). Thanks!
