Has anyone got Time Machine to work with a ReadyNA...

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo (with the latest firmware) set up as a Time Machine destination but neither of the two MacBooks in the house (both running Snow Leopard) can find the ReadyNAS in Time Machine whether over WiFi or on a wired connection. It's visible in Finder, but not in Time Machine. I should also add that if I connect the ReadyNAS directly to the MacBook via Ethernet, Time Machine immediately finds it.
Research would suggest that there is a problem with Home Hub 3.0 and Apple's Bonjour service but there doesn't seem to be any definitive solution. One option seems to be to connect a second wireless router using the 192.168.0.xxx address range to the Home Hub and use its WiFi connection; and another seems to be to install an Apple Airport Extreme base station in place of the Home Hub.
Anyone had the same problem and come up with a solution?

Hi there,
I've tried googling a little for you and found this article, showing how to set up TM on a network drive.
Unfortunately, I don't have a HHv3 (I only had a v2, but I've replaced that with another router) so I cannot troubleshoot remotely for you.
All I can suggest is trying the guide I posted and if this does not produce the results you require, then I would look at replacing the HH with another router.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Has anyone got Time Machine to work with Time Capsule?

I've been trying for days to do an initial backup without success. Everything seems to be working fine and then it just stops and says the backup has "failed." The last one went 24 hours and backed up about 90 GB before it just stopped. Then it has to start over, from the beginning. (This thing is so slow you'd think somebody was writing the files out in longhand!) I even moved my iMac into the room with the Time Capsule, which is actually pretty annoying, in case it was a case of a dropped signal.

Hi,
I've spent hours and hours trying to get the harddisk to work properly. Set-up was easy-peasy and the Airport works great for the internet. However, when trying to use time-machine and the hard disk it was a nightmare !!! Each attempt at the back-up failed after about 4 gig with a 'unable to mount volume' error. If I re-tried, it failed. Following some of the tips on the forums, I deleted the back-up file created by time machine on the hard drive and the initial back-up started successfully but failed after about 4 gig again (I had 96 gig to back-up). There are various fixes flying around - ensure you have a name for your computer - should be short and no spaces or funny characters. Same goes for your name of the timecapsule. Some people are saying you should use an ethernet cable for your first back-up but that should not matter at all. I took mine back to the apple store in the end - a mac genius downloaded all the latest patches (only came out 19th march) for the time-capsule firmware, time machine software and airport express. Still didn't work, so conclusion was the time-capsule was knackered !!! SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO GET APPLE TO REPLACE IT BUT MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE ABOVE FIRST.
New time-capsule was attached to my imac, started up great first time. My initial back-up ran through perfectly first time through wireless - it took 15 hours but I did have 96 gig to back-up. time machine sees this no problem so it looks like everything is fine.
Good luck !!

Has anyone got the B500 to work with Ubuntu? (nvidia driver problems)

In two weeks, I have been completely unable to get the nvidia driver working with the B500 on Linux. No matter what I try to do, the X server doesn't start, and my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file ends with "fatal server error: no screens found." I have tried feeding a custom modeline to xorg.conf, explicitly calling an EDID file which I extracted from the Windows installation, using the upstream nvidia driver installer, using the official repository driver, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I'm not recalling right now.
Versions I've tried this on:
Kubuntu 10.04, 32- and 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04, 32-bit
Kubuntu 9.10, 32-and 64-bit
I am stumped. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?
best,
-p.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved with the kind assistance of paulricardomc on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477507
Short version of the fix:
1. Extract the edid from the Windows partition using softMCCS, saving as edid.bin
2. Save the edid.bin file in /etc/X11 (or wherever you like)
3. Include the following in the device section of your xorg.conf:
"Option" "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
"Option" "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
Fire up X and you're good to go.

Anyone got Nokia Music to work with (recognise) N9...

Several times over the last months I have tried to get Nokia Music to work with my N95 8GB.
Every time I have spent hours and hours installing, upgrading, uninstalling etc etc but never success.
The Nokia Music PC software will not recognize my phone.
No matter what kind of connection i choose when i connect the phone - PCSuite, Mediaplayer etc, none of them makes the Nokia Music recognise the phone.
I am currently running Windows XP SP3, PC-suite 7.1.30.9, Nokia Music 1.3.20716.09, phone firmware is 31.0.015, phone code is 0550372
I am (_again_) dead tired of this, and for the moment (again) I truely hate Nokia PC software.
Has anyone got Nokia Music to work with N95 8GB?
Regards,
Njål
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Njaale
Yes - it is working fine for me on a n95-
You need to connect your n95 in Media player mode.
You have 1.3.20716.09 but the latest version is - 1.3.2072
1) You can get the latest version from here - http://musicstore.nokia.com/download.aspx
2) If you are having licencing issue it could be because of the drm folder . If step one does not work try to delete the drm folder - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM . You need to make sure that hidden files and folders are not hidden and also that protected operating system files are not hidden.
To see hidden files:
1.
On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.
2.
Click the View tab.
3.
Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.
Oh and just to be sure you are using nokia music
Here is a picture of it - http://www.slashphone.com/media/data/766/nokia_music.jpg
You can see in that picture on the left hand side is the phone you drag and drop your music into that phone picture to transfer your music.
Nokia pc suite below does not transfer nokia music
picutre - http://tltc.shu.edu/mobile/Nokia-PC-Suite_1.png
This is because the software in the first link (nokia music) is designed to recognise "DRM" software. But nokia PC suite in the second link does not currently do that.

Has anyone enabled time machine using a linksys router and external hard drive? And if so how?

Has anyone enabled time machine using a link sys router and external hard drive? And if so how? I have a Linksys E4200 wireless router with a usb port on it. I also have a Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive. I would like to be able to use this hard drive with time machine. Has anyone done so and if so how can I do so?

You might get some responses, but we don't see many Linksys users on an Apple forum so it may be awhile before you see an answer.
It might be useful to point out that Apple does not even support Time Machine backups to the USB port on their own AirPort Extreme wireless router, so we may be heading down a very slippery slope here.
I've tried Time Machine backups on an AirPort Extreme router a number of times in the past. It's just not reliable. Works for awhile, then has corruption problems. Or has corruption issues immediately. I once went a month or so and thought I had it nailed, then got smacked with a corrupted set of backups again.
But, I guess you never know. It might work on the Linksys. If you decide to try this, I would suggest that you have another backup plan in place for your important data.
Hope that some Linksys users will respond so we can all learn.

Has anyone got cn8202temp_controller.vi to work?

Hello,
Has anyone got cn8202temp_controller.vi to work. I got it from the Ni website and I've been unable to get it to run right. If there is anyone out there that has got it to work please tell me how you did it. It has an error when you upload the parameters for the recipe. I have enclosed the vi if you want to take a look.
Thanks for your time,

Hey Jordan,
Thanks for responding. The recipe I am using is start from room temperature (20ºC), ramp up to 100 ºC over a period of 15 minutes, remain there for 10 minutes, and then ramp up to 1200ºC over a period of 110 minutes, remain for 10 minutes, then ramp down to 20ºC over a period of 280 minutes. I ran through all the string codes in the program and the only two I can't validate is Run Recipe string $0101W065.0000G2 and the cancel recipe string $0101W063.0000G0
I called and sent emails to Omega on this issue and their response is that they don’t do third party programming. I was hoping that by posting it on here that someone may have used the program and could confirm if it works or not and if it didn’t work could possible tell me what needs to be changed. I’m really beating my head against the wall here and use help from anyone.
Thanks again.

Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?

Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?
I had a go with the terminal commnds posted by apple support but no joy. Since then Apple has pulled the suport article - is it because it didn't work?
I get PPTP is less secure but PPTP seems to be more reliable don't know whey they can't keep as GUI. I've got them both running on our 10.4 server and L2TP stoped allowing connections for no reason PPTP was still working L2TP started working again on its own. Plus L2TP drops my connection when I connect with a 2nd device e.g connected with my Macbook connect with my iPhone (different username) it drops my Macbook.
Any advice getting PPTP to work on Lion Server would be appreciated
Thanks
Ben

Hi,
I have posted a bugreport on this issue to Apple. Currently (10.7.2) it is not possible to run PPTP on any Mac OS X Server when using a 10.7 Server as Directory Server.
I have tried 'everything', but the MPPE encryption mechanism seems to be broken.
Edit: I see now that the bugreport is filed as a duplicate to an older case, which is now closed. I hope this means they have found the problem and will release a fix in the next update.

Has ANYONE got a printer to work on Time Capsule network?

I've tried two different printers and neither work with Time Capsule. I've checked this community and most state they cannot get the printer to work. Is there any secret to get this working. I just bought Time Capsule and I bought it mainly for printer to work on network. Is this just ANOTHER feature that Apple claims to work. . . but it doesn't?

Did you actually "install" the printer when it was connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule?
By that, I mean.....follow the steps (Page 17-18) in the Setup Manual for the Time Capsule?
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule and power it up
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list on the left
If your printer is supported, it's name or a similar model will appear in the next window
Click the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Try to print
You have to select the correct printer "location". If you previously installed the printer when it was connected to your Mac, it will appear as if you have two of the same printers.
A closer inspection will reveal that one is located at the Mac and the other is located at the Time Capsule.
You have to chose the correct "location" at the Time Capsule. You may need to restart the printer as well.
Most printers will work.
But, if you have an All-in-One type device.....only the print function will work. Other functions like scan, copy, maintenance, etc are not supported.
That's not Apple's fault. The printer manufacturers have not provided full function drivers for network USB connections.
If you have an All-in-One, or are shopping for one, you need a "network" device as LaPastenague mentions. If the All-in-One connects using wireless only, or using Ethernet, you will have full functionality over the network.

Has anyone got BTCONNET (POP) mail working?

I already posted this in the touch forum, but after doing a bit of searching, realised that there is a specific forum for 'mail' under the iPhone section, so I am posting it here instead.
I have had my Touch for just over a week and all is well, except MAIL. I just can't get it to work with my BTCONNECT (POP) account..
I managed to get OUTGOING mails working.. But incoming is not working.. I get an error saying that it can't connect to my SMTP address. I have read a ton of posts from Google and tried everything, but its still not working...
My outgoing address is "smtp.btconnect.com", but I found a page from Apple themselves say that it should be "smtp.o2.co.uk", but this doesn't work.. To be honest, I don't see why it would, as this is a Touch not an iPhone (but the doc says that its for both), but I tried it never the less.
I did find one post from someone who had this problem and used iTunes to 'sync' his mail account.. I hoped this would work, but when i tried, nothing happened.. I even deleted my account from the Touch, selected my Outlook account under iTunes and did Sync. Whilst iTunes says its done it.. Nothing happens.
I should point out that for this test, I am at home, using the same connection that my Laptop (Which is able to send/recieve mail) is on.
I am starting to think I am wasting my time and just wondered if anyone in the UK has sucessfully got BTCONNECT mail working?
My fingers are crossed that someone can help

Just a note to everyone to thank you for your help and let you know that I cracked it. I figured I should post, incase anyone comes looking for a solution (I just wished I had not spelt BTCONNECT, BTCONNET in the title).
I stumbled upon a post on another forum from a guy who claims to have it working and has helped others.. I got in contact with him and he has shown me what he has done. It looks like there is a quirk (I would call it a bug) in the way that the iPhone/Touch handles SMTP.
It turns out that for BTCONNECT (And I suspect others) to work, you need OTHER SMTP servers in the list.. Even if they are not right.. withouth them, it simply doens't work.. But as soon as you add 2 'others' it just magically works.
The best way to get BTCONNECT mail working is like this:
1. Disable Wifi
2. Delete existing accounts
3. Add new 'Other' account
4. Enter the following (Using a made up name as an example):
Name: Your Name
Address: [email protected]
Password: <Your Password>
5. Save
6. Select 'POP'
7. Add Incoming Server Details:
Host Name: pop3.btconnect.com
User Name: john.smith
Password: <Your Password>
8. Add Outgoing Server Details
Host Name: smtp.btconnect.com
User Name: Leave Optional
User Name: Leave Optional
9. Save
Now at this point, it goes off to verify SMTP info and will fail (not only becuase WiFi is off, but it fails even if Wifi is ON). You now get asked whether you want to try turning SSL on.. If you hit NO, it goes off and tries again and never finishes.. If you say YES it ends with an error.. But alteast you can save it.
The point is, just say YES and then you will get a option to Save.
10. Now you have saved, go back into your mail config and select the Primary Outgoing Server.. Here you want to change/verify:
SSL = OFF
Authenitication: Password
Port = 25
11. At this point it should work.. And I got here on my own many times and it doesn't.. What you need to do is adds some 'other SMTP servers'.
I was given the advice to add "mail.btinternet.com", but my conclusion is that it doens't matter... On mine, I now have 2 "other" addresses (both pointing to SMTP.BTCONNECT.COM).. If I go into them, they are wrong, as SSL = ON and worse, they are grey so I can't change them or delete them.
I got it in this state after a lot of playing, and I know its not right, but since mine is working, I am not changing it.
This is the area you want to focus on.. You need to get 1 x Primary Server (SMTP.BTCONNECT.COM) and 2 x 'other' Servers (Point them to SMTP.BTINTERNET.COM if you like).
I don't know why.. I don't know how but this works!!
If I write a mail and send it, it goes instantly.. So you know that its working straight away..
Oh yes.. Turn WiFi on NOW, before you test.. I forgot at one point and almost gave up again...
I know this sounds stupid and you would think that it doesn't make any difference, but it does.. Not only did this work for me, but its also worked for several other people I know who also had problems getting SMTP working.
Good luck and I hope this helps someone
Jon

Has anyone got BTCONNECT (POP) mail working on their Touch?

I have had my Touch for just over a week and all is well, except MAIL. I just can't get it to work with my BTCONNECT (POP) account..
I managed to get OUTGOING mails working.. But incoming is not working.. I get an error saying that it can't connect to my SMTP address. I have read a ton of posts from Google and tried everything, but its still not working...
My outgoing address is "smtp.btconnect.com", but I found a page from Apple themselves say that it should be "smtp.o2.co.uk", but this doesn't work.. To be honest, I don't see why it would, as this is a Touch not an iPhone (but the doc says that its for both), but I tried it never the less.
I did find one post from someone who had this problem and used iTunes to 'sync' his mail account.. I hoped this would work, but when i tried, nothing happened.. I even deleted my account from the Touch, selected my Outlook account under iTunes and did Sync. Whilst iTunes says its done it.. Nothing happens.
I should point out that for this test, I am at home, using the same connection that my Laptop (Which is able to send/recieve mail) is on.

Just for continuity and incase anyone else has this problem, I have posted a solution here:

Time Machine doesnt work with McAfee Internet Security Software

Hello,
I recently installed the McAfee product All Access Internet Security on my 2011 iMac (10.9.4) and configured the real time scan, spyware, application protection and firewall features. All appeared to be running fine with no performance degradation which is great, but after some testing I discovered that the firewall feature prevents Time Machine from connecting to Time Capsule and back ups don't work. Upon deactivating the firewall feature but leaving all other McAfee services running the Time Machine works fine again and all is well.
I'm wondering if there is a way to make a change to a setting that will allow the McAfee firewall to run as two layers of protection (Desktop Firewall and Time Capsule firewall) would be ideal.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on where to start ?
Thanks everyone.
Chris

Just did it here and its working.
My first language is portuguese, so I will try to guess what the similar in English, ok?
1- Go to Mcafee "Preferences"(clic on the Mcfee icon in the upside of your monitor)
2- Go to "Firewall"
3- Here there is a choice in the little window: "Type: public" is the default option. I changed it to "Type: house or work".
Its working now. Already made two backups in Time Machine(Time Capsule). Don't know what will happen after a day or two.

Why Time Machine stopped working with Time Capsule?

I have my Time Capsule connected via Ethernet to my iMac and wirelessly to my MacBook. Several days ago I got a warning on the iMac saying "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup - an error occured while copying - may be temporary - if persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disc."
Well, first Tim Capsule will not appear in Disk Utility, so that instruction is absurd. I went to Airport Utility but all that appears there is a graphic of T.C. with no buttons to do anything. My Mac consultant, who doesn't use Time Capsule or T.M, told me to hook it up using USB instead of Ethernet and it would appear in Disk Utility. Before I try that, does it make sense? He also suggested trying it wirelesslessly if that doesn't work.
Incidently, during all this time the T.C. wireless backups of the MacBook have continued unabated.
One forum participant urged me to take the T.C. to Apple to get it fixed. I don't think the drive is in that bad shape or why would the MacBook backups to its partition continue without problem?
I cleaned the Ethernet cable, unplugged both ends and plugged back in. T.M. indicated it had backed up twice, but now it has displayed exactly the same warning again, and says the last backup was several days ago. What should I do? I've zapped the Pram, run permissions on the iMac HD, and deleted all the browers' cache files.

My Mac consultant, who doesn't use Time Capsule or T.M, told me to hook it up using USB instead of Ethernet and it would appear in Disk Utility. Before I try that, does it make sense?
Ah, no. The TC's USB port cannot be used for that purpose.
I recommend another Mac consultant - Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini. Start with this: http://pondini.org/TM/C3.html
There are a variety of possible causes for that message, so exhaust all the potential remedies.

Finally got Time Machine to work!

It was a pain - numerous hangs, 3 kernel panics and 6 failed backups, but I finally got it to work ..... I hope!
What I did was to
1) Erase and rename the target drive (Tardis seemed an appropriate name ;-))
2) Prevent Spotlight from indexing the target drive (System Preferences> Spotlight> Privacy)
3) Set the Screensaver to "Never"
4) Delete the TimeMachine plist file
5) Repair Permissions everywhere
6) Close all open applications
7) Set up target drive in Time Machine and initiate BackUp
8) Walk away from computer - don't even touch the mouse - and come back several hours later when Time Machine has finished backing up.
This worked for me but, as in most things, your mileage may vary.
Message was edited by: Pornits - Forgot to include the important "Delete the TimeMachine plist file" step

From what I've read here, the kernel panics may be associated with Spotlight trying to access data that is still being written by TM. Another interesting point is that, my kernel panics also seemed to occur at about an hour into the back-up process .... which, coincidentally, is the same time period that TM uses to make it's incremental back-ups - a scripting error perhaps? Don't you just love being a beta tester?
In any case, this method worked for me - TM now appears to be functioning as advertised. If it's not working for you, my only suggestion is to disable TM and wait for Apple to post a fix. In the mean time, a back-up solution like SuperDuper may be of some help.

Has anyone got Time Machine to work with a ReadyNA...
