How can I backup my files
02/02/12 10:32
Problem: It's not really obvious to me where TrailRunner stores the main document containing routes and the database containing my diary activities. How can I backup these files?
Solution: TrailRunner stores files in the following folders. Backup these folders/files and your personal data is safe.
__yourhome__/Library/Application Support/TrailRunner
__yourhome__/Library/Preferences
__yourhome__/Library/Caches/com.berbie.trailrunner
> Read More about what files TrailRunner writes to your harddrive…
Hint: Another alternative to backing up your files is to place them in Dropbox. This also enables you to synchronize with other computers you own:

Hint: on Mac OS X Lion the __yourhome__/Library folder is invisible. You can make it permanently visible using the following terminal command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
or you can open it by typing the following into the Finder menu item Go > Go to Folder box:
~/Library

Diary: Display speed over distance instead of pace over distance
18/01/10 11:24
Problem: Is it possible to display the average speed in km/h or mph instead of pace?
Solution: An activity is always assigned to a diary. And a diary can be of a sport type like running, biking, etc.
If you change your default diary to the sport type biking, it would affect the display for all entries within this diary.
TrailRunner > Preferences > Personal > Diaries: Select the diary and then change the type in the table Popup.

Problem: While TrailRunner already has some statistical graphs built in, you sometimes still want to create your own graphs like e.g "calories burnt per kilometer".

Copy the diary entries
Open NeoOffice and select a new spreadsheet.
Press Command-P to paste the history in.
In the popup that appears, verify the Separator options - the settings should be “separated by tab".

Mobileme Publishing is not working for me
10/09/07 00:27
Problem: TrailRunner asks your keychain for a Mobileme authentication. The keychain itself uses your Mobileme system preferences information. If your keychain is not set up properly, TrailRunner is not able to access your .Mac account. This might be due to a problem with your keychain.
Solution: Read the following support article on how to fix any keychain problems:
> Using keychains with .Mac, troubleshooting keychain issues
Problem: You published your weblog to Mobileme, but the changes are not visible.
Solution: It might take a while until Apple has copied your new website content from your iDisk onto your webspace. Please wait a couple of minutes and then reload your webpage.
