MBP Connects, Samsung Wi7 machine doesn't.

Hello all. If this is a repost of a similar topic, I apologize.
Presently, I have a TC, which my Macbook Pro connects to wirelessly. My roommate recently purchased a new Samsung Wi7 laptop and was having no issue connecting to the time capsule. However, 2 days a go, his computer would not connect to it.
I am having no issue connecting to either the 2.4 GhZ and the 5.0 GhZ network still on my MBP. My iPod Touch connects with no problem and his iPod touch has no problem connecting to it.
I'm thinking its an issue with his computer. I'm not that familiar with the new 7 system, so I am absolutely lost when trying to trouble shoot that system. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it and if more information is needed, please just ask.
Thank you all in advance for any advice you can give.
Respectfully,
JM88

In case anyone wants to know in the future I just added the IP address of the printer, selected a different Samsung driver and it seems to work now.

  • Print Driver for Samsung printing machine doesn't exist?

    Hello. At my workplace they have recently purchased a new giant printing machine called the Samsung SCX-7145. As a disclaimer I live and work in S. Korea so of course things are more confusing. Apple computers barely exists here.
    Anyway, how can I print using this machine? It has an IP address and I tried adding the printer just using the IP address with no luck in printing. I can't find any mac drivers for the machine. Any ideas what to do?

    In case anyone wants to know in the future I just added the IP address of the printer, selected a different Samsung driver and it seems to work now.

  • Time machine doesn't backup regularly

    Since upgrading to Lion from OS X 10.6.8, I find that Time Machine doesn't backup regularly. If I'm away from home (where the Time Capsule resides) for a day and return home, TM used to start backing up as soon as I connected my MBP to my home network, but it doesn't do this anymore. Furthermore, even though TM indicates that a backup will occur at a certain time, this doesn't happen, and the backup time gets postponed another hour.
    What could be wrong?

    I'm making an assumption here... but your post doesn't have a ton of detail about your setup so...
    It probably has more to do with the fact that you actually shouldn't be backing up a mysql database with time machine if the database is running/live (Of which Time machine has no idea about any of this).
    You can't backup open database just like that and it doesn't only apply to time machine. You need to first be doing a dump of the database either manually or with an automated script and then you could allow time machine to backup the dump. You're asking for trouble and behavior similar to what you noticed here if you backup a mysql (or any other open database) in this manner. This includes the LDAP database if this machine is an OD master and cyrus database if you run the OS X mail server (pre 10.6).
    Just an FYI that it is quite likely that time machine backed up the files in question but that the database was probably damaged or missing data for the reasons I mentioned above.
    There are tools out there that can automate this process (mysql website itself has a Mac GUI client that can do automated backups).

  • IMac: Time Machine Doesn't Work

  • Replaced internal hard drive, time machine doesn't recognize as same volume

    Howdy,
    The hard drive (call it drive "X") on my iMac (one of the 2005 models) was dying so I had it replaced. I rebuilt the new drive (drive "Y") from my most recent time machine backup (from external drive "A"). I am now having problems with one of my backup devices, in that time machine doesn't recognize that the new disk is conceptually the same thing that had been backed up before (same volume name).
    More details... I rotate my backups monthly through three external drives (I store the most recent offsite). After the disk replacement and restore process, I continued to use that backup drive (drive "A") without noticing any problem. Then it came time to rotate my external drives, and time machine doesn't find enough space on the next backup drive (drive "B"). Presumably this is because it doesn't realize that the drive I am backing up ("Y") is a copy of the drive that had previously been backed up on "B" ("X").
    Is there any way to convince it they are the same? Or am I in the same boat as this poster:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2770362&tstart=0
    Basically I just want to verify that I am in that same boat before I remove old backup files on "B". If I do decide I need to remove those, are the instructions linked in thread 2770362 correct, or are there better ones?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bob H

    Actually, the backup I deleted above was the backup for the new internal drive. Apparently TM had created the (incomplete) backup during the failed attempt that ran out of space on the backup device. Since the new internal drive had the same name as the old internal drive, I didn't initially realize that's what I was deleting. Not that deleting it causes any harm, but it didn't address the original problem of freeing up space on the backup device.
    Not to worry though. I've figured out how to get at the backups for the old internal drive, and am in the process of deleting those. I was about to follow the instructions in your troubleshooting items E3 and E2, but upon attempting to enter time machine I stumbled into the right place. Since I had previously told TM to do no backups (because there was still not enough disk space), and since I'd left the backup device connected, when I pulled up the TM menu from the menu bar, the usual "Enter Time Machine" menu was replaced by "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" (or perhaps "Disks" was "Backups"). This then gave me a list of the machines that I'd backed up on this backup device (in my case machine names and internal drive names are the same). Of course one of those was for the old internal drive, and after choosing it I roughly followed the same course of action as I did a few days ago, to initiate deletion.
    I also saw how I could delete each of those old backups individually, but decided against that as I did not expect it would free up enough space. My expectation is that nearly all the space is shared among all the backups for the same source drive, since relatively very little changes between backups.

  • Time Machine doesn't make backups

    Hi,
    I have problems with Time Machine. I deleted by error the backup file in Time Capsule, but now Time Machine doesn't create a new one, simply it doesn't work. External disks are recognized (Time Capsule or USB disk) but it doesn't make backups, only appears the "preparing" for one or two seconds and then nothing. It's the same if I try to make backups on a external USB disk.
    I can not enter to Time Machine to see the backups.
    Looking at "Console" for the last logs there many crash reported, for example:
    18/02/09 11:59:26 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[3053] Backup requested by user

    Any one with a similar problem???
    Is it possible to reset Time Machine in order to restart the backups?
    I bought Time Capsule and I can't use Time Machine!!!!
    Thanks.

    Event store UUID don't match for Volume: Macintosh HD
    This means TM isn't sure whether the last changes to your internal HD got logged to OSX's File System Event Store, a log of all changes that TM can normally use to see what needs to be backed-up. Most commonly caused by an abnormal shutdown.
    Node requires deep traversal:/
    Reason: kFSEDBE even FlagMustScanSubDrs /kFSEDBE vent Flag Reason Deep Backup/
    Since it can't trust the Event Store, this means it has to examine every file and folder on your HD. Quite a lengthy procedure, of course.
    Then it said - I didn't copy that - something like "thinning out" isn't necessary because there was still 368 GB or so space left - 7 GB were backed up - but it did "thin out" some outdated file afterall, whatever that is - hope it didn't delete something I wanted to keep.
    All normal. TM automatically deletes it's hourly backups after 24 hours, except the first of the day, which is called a Daily backup. That is kept for a month, when a similar process converts the first of a week into a Weekly backup, and deletes the others.
    Only when the disk is near full (TM does need some workspace) will you see deletion of one or more of the oldest weeklies, instead of the first message.
    Then the next problem started. It wasn't possible to eject the external drive. I waited for quite some time but each time tried to eject it, a window opened saying that it was still in use and could not be ejected. Although it had defenitely finished doing the backup and the next one was to be done about half an hour later.
    Is there anything else on your external drive, besides TM backups? Could you have been looking at it via the Finder, when you tried to eject it?
    Try this: de-select the drive (chose the "none" icon) in TM's preferences, then quit System Preferences. Then go back and re-select it. Sometimes this resets TM's lock on the drive.
    If not, and it happens again, try turning TM off, then ejecting the TM drive. You shouldn't have to do this -- TM is supposed to let you eject it, then automatically do another backup whenever you re-connect it.
    Now that you have a good full backup, just keep an eye on it. Your incremental backups should be very, very quick under normal circumstances.
    There are a few things that may cause long backups, such as an abnormal shutdown, certain hardware repairs, not letting TM back up for several days (seems to be about 10, some say), and the use of certain apps. File Vault, Entourage, vmWare, running Windoze are a few. If you do see long backups, post the messages here in a new thread.

  • Permanent wired connection for Time Machine how to set up

    Just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.3 and I like to give TM a go but it seems to only work over wireless.
    I see in the forums that some references are made as to making the first backup over Ethernet. However I do not seem to find how to set this up.
    I would do my backups over my Ethernet network to my server with a external HD attached.
    And I would like to do my backups only over Ethernet, is this possible?
    Thanks

    Ethernet needs to be an active network service in System Prefs/Network.
    Before turning Time Machine on, with your MBP connected via Ethernet, Open System Prefs/Network and activate Built-In Ethernet, then move Built-In Ethernet to the top of the network interface list so it is the first choice. Then mount the destination drive on your MBP and in TM Prefs set that drive as the TM destination, make sure TM is set to NOT erase the destination drive, and turn TM on.
    Your MBP should then back up to the desired mounted volume over Ethernet. Ethernet is faster than wi-fi, so your first backup with Time Machine will take less time.
    Thereafter, if Time Machine is on it will attempt to back up every hour provided it can find and mount the destination volume. If that happens wirelessly it's no big deal because subsequent backups don't take all that long. If the destination volume is not available TM will simply wait until the volume can be seen again, and then continue.
    One caveat: Since TM backs up a new copy of every changed file, very large files, such as a movie, Windows partition or Entourage mail database, can lengthen the time required for subsequent TM backups and use up space faster on the destination. Very large files like this I exclude from TM backup and back up separately.
    Hope this helps.

  • Migrated old back-up to new MacBook Pro, but now new machine doesn't recognize old back-up

    So last night I migrated my old back-up to my new MacBook Pro, but this morning my new machine doesn't recognize my old back-up. I'd rather not erase and back-up from scratch for numerous reasons (losing the old data, time, etc).
    Any suggestions? I'll bet this is a realatively common issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -Ron

    Looking back, at your original posts....it said it needed 774 GB?? is that at all reasonable for a full backup of your system??
    Maybe there's something more than meets the eye?
    Also maybe we can figure out what went wrong with the tmutil command. It is possible that you may have to use additional options.
    But first le's see who owns the old backup....
    From the terminal command line try this:
    sudo xattr -l "path to your backup"
    Where "path to your backup" is tha same path exactly as used in the tmutil command, that is:
    /Volumes/"Backups Device Name"/Backups.backupdb/"Backup Name"
    You should get something like this for output:
    com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
    00000000  30 30 3A 31 64 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |00:1d:..:..:..:.|
    00000010  34 00                                            |4.|
    00000012
    com.apple.backupd.HostUUID:
    00000000  41 34 32 30 43 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |A420Cxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000010  .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000020  32 37 37 42 00                                   |277B.|
    00000025
    com.apple.backupd.ModelID: MacPro3,1
    The "BackupMachineAddress" is the MAC address of the Ethernet port your mother board.
    You can find the MAc address in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report -> Network -> Ethernet 1
    The "HostUUID" is the identifier of your mother board.
    You can find it in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report ->Hardware Overview  [that's the first thing that shows when you select System report]
    These are the way the connection of the backup to a machine is made.
    Now the tmutil inheritbackup comand should have set them to the correct values for your new machine.
    But let's' see if any of them match the new machine and then see of we haveany more options.

  • Time Machine doesn't list Time Capsule as backup option

    I'm trying to restart Time Machine, but Time Machine doesn't show Time Capsule as a backup option even though I'm connected to it wirelessly on our network. I was successfully backing up to my Time Capsule until I changed its name. Any ideas on how to fix this.
    Thanks

    Sounds like the drive is dead.
    Take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location.

  • Time Machine doesn't see MyBook Live NAS.

    I just got a new SMC-D3GNV gateway from Comcast and now Time Machine doesn't see my NAS MyBook Live. I can access all my files on the MyBook Live via finder. Also, all software/firmware is current. Any idea's?

    I know variations on this question have been asked many times before, but I've just read many of those threads, and I don't see an answer.
    Time Machine does not see my La Cie Network Space NAS and neither does Disk Utility (the La Cie support pages imply that it should, believe it or not).
    If your Mac can contact the NAS, it should appear in a Finder sidebar (if your Finder preferences are set for that). If you can set Time Machine up to back up to it, it will create a +sparse bundle+ on it. That sparse bundle, when mounted, will appear in Disk Utility's sidebar, and you can do a +*Repair Disk+* on it. Otherwise, no, Disk Utility won't see network drives.
    Does not matter if it is connected via WiFi or directly through ethernet. I suspect this means that it is not Mac OS extended formatted, and not formattable (by Disk Utility) either.
    Correct; Disk Utility can't format a network drive.
    Review the LaCie specs and setup instructions carefully. My quick read on their site does not turn up any claim that it's Time Machine compatible, though.
    Can you return it?

  • Time Machine doesn't see my NAS?

    Well after talking on the phone will Apple about the AirPort Extreme's USB port "connection failed." every day. I was told that Time Machine is NOT supported with the AirPort Extreme and that I should get a NAS.
    So, I walked into NCIX and picked up the Patriot Javelin S4. It says Time Machine compatible and Mac compatible on it. I have set it up but Time Machine doesn't seem to find the NAS? I am running Lion.

    That is correct.  See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

    Just because it says it's compatible doesn't mean it is, unfortunately.   And, some NASs that were compatible with Time Machine on Snow Leopard didn't get updated for Lion's tighter security requirements.
    So, first, check with the maker to be sure it's compatible with TM on Lion (they may have an update).  
    Then, be sure you're following their setup instructions exactly.  Each NAS has it's own mini-operating system, that interacts with OSX, and they all do it differently (even some made by the same company don't do it the same way!).

  • HT3275 Time Machine doesn't see the back-up disk

    Time Machine doesn't see the back-up disk after I've logged off and then back on, even though the disk is available to the iMac 24/7. Turning the disk off and then on in the current session works, but this seems to defeat the purpose of an unattended back-up disk. I can't find a setting that ensures the back-up disk is recognized after log-in or restart. Is there a solution?

    Is this Mountain Lion??
    It seems to have made some changes that make the disk drop out.. it does this even if you are continually connected to the TC and we don't have a solution yet.
    For your login issue, is the TC using a disk password.. or are you setting it to default? Could you try just turning on the guest account in the TC to read and write access and see if this helps. Tell us how it goes.
    There is another fix.. but it involves using disconnect all users from v5 airport utility.. Apple removed the function in v6.
    If you are on Lion or Mountain Lion even you can install the v5 utility.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.

    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.

    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
    Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
    Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
    Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
    Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
    Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!

  • Connecting to other machines!!

    I have installed solaris 8.0 on sunfire v100. Everything is going fine, but the problem is other machines can access it with both name and IP address, while this machine can connect to other machines with IP address only. i have put the nameserver in resolv.conf also, added router, but it doesn't work. Please help!!!

    Hello,
    You have to force solaris to use dns naming service instead of only using files. This is done with the file /etc/nsswitch.conf. You must edit it and include dns at the hosts entry (line). Have you done this?
