Avi, why waste paper, time and energy printing to paper and then scanning back into the computer to upload to photo bucket? Save paper, time and energy!

Nate, since I don't back up my data and I don't trust my computer I kept printing daily prints for the last year, from my APAP . But I am going to stop it soon. Yes, I could use one of those PDF to Photo converter softwares. Thanks.

CrashPlan online is completely automatic - once you set it up you never have to remember to back up or do anything further - and it's cheaper than paper!

It's also cheaper than what I had to pay a recovery service a few years ago for a cleanroom opening up of my hard disk and exchange of tiny teeny internal parts to be able to run it one more time to recover everything from it! That was when my internal hard disk and my external backup disk both self-destructed on the same day!

Regards, Nate

Heather,

Make sure you ALWAYS slide the little white tab on the SD card to the LOCK position before inserting it into your Mac, so that the Mac cannot write anything to the disk. And ALWAYS slide the little white tab back to the UNLOCK position before slipping it back into your xPAP machine so that the machine can write to the card.

Also, if NO NAME does not show up in the Finder or left bar of a Finder window within 15 seconds after you insert the locked SD card, pull it out and reinsert it.

And finally before you remove the SD card from your Mac, click the little eject triangle in the left bar of a Finder window (or in the alternative select the NO NAME picture/icon in the Finder with your cursor and then press the eject button on the upper right of your keyboard), and wait until NO NAME disappears from sight before pulling the SD card out of your Mac.

Last night was my first night with S9 Escaoe and I was looking forward to using Sleepyhead on my Mac Pro. So I took the SD card out of S9 and placed in Targas USB reader and no disk shows up.
Any ideas? I am going down to Walmart and pickup a 2 gig SD card.

Seems like I have read that some people have had problems with the Targus readers...can't remember for sure. Not just with Mac computers either.

You have a S9 Escape??? How long have you had it? Are you aware that the only data available from the S9 Escape is hours of use? That is all that the machine will write to any SD card. You can use SleepyHead and it will show only how many hours the machine has been used.
You might want to read this blog page..top part about full data machines and bottom part about what to do when you realize that your machine doesn't gather any data beyond hours of use. Hours of use (compliance hours) is used only to satisfy insurance requirements.

There are several Mac users here with SleepyHead and they can offer more specific ideas on how to get the

Thanks,
I just got the Escape Friday. But with your comment, I emailed my sleep doctor to ask if I could get the S9 AutoSet CPAP Machine without the Humidifier, since I use passover humidifier anyways.
By the way I went to Walmart and purchased a Sony SD card for $10. and everything works fine. I took the ResMed SD card out and replaced with Sony SD card. Then placed in Targus reader and got the limited data.
