MyBook Live stoped working properly after OSX Moutain Lion 10.8.5 Update - TimeMachine & Share unusable

Hi folks
I having my first OSX nightmare after updating to 10.8.5
I have a Mini and a WD MyBook Live 2TB external drive partionioned in half 1TB for Files and other for TimeMachine
After upgrading OSX to 10.8.5 last week I noticed irregular dysplay of my WD shares on Finder and when TimeMachine started backing up a ridiculous 20 179 days and counting up appeared
Here goes the History by detail:
Update OSX
-Noticing irregular access to shares on MyBook Live
--shares on finder didn't appear or disapeared
--when viewing other things (eg Apps) and returning to share - share was logged off and reinitiated logging
-TimeMachine Backups didn't occur automatically (Mini hibernated without completing them) - when forced to start the ridiculous time just kept counting up, first try was 10 days last one - over 20 000 days!...
Then I tryed
+restarting MAC
+restarting MyBook Live after checking drive function with proper tools
+disabled and re-enabled TimeMachine
+checked for updates - OSX and MyBook Live Firmware
+looked out for help google it, searched this forums
+deleted volinfo.database (as proposed elsewere in this foruns) - restarted again all Mini&MyBookLive
NOTHING WORKED ...
+submited OSX feedback and this post...
Acknowledging my first OSX Nightmare to you and asking for your knowledgable and kind help - anyone?!
PLZ some guidance
Best regards

Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. This is an example of what can happen. I know that the manufacturer says it will work, and that it usually seems to work. Except when it doesn't. Then your only recourse is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)
If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or a mini-tower (802.11ac) AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base station supports Time Machine, not any previous model.

  • Organize by conversation is not working properly after upgrade to Lion

    After upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 I've figured out that Mail Application is not very accurate with organizing by conversation. Mail from Snow Leopard was pretty nice. But after upgrade it started to make several conversation. This is very annoying especially when I'm working with support tickets.
    Here is one of the example:
    Mail 10.7 ( Lion )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    Mail 10.6 ( Snow Leopard )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    I also tried Mozilla Thunderbird. It is organizing by thread very accurate.
    Is there any way how to configure this in Mail? May be I'm doing something wrong?
    I like all new features of new Mail programm, but it wi very annoying.
    Thanks,
    Shony.

    Hi Sundar & Rakesh
    I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
    ** Scenario Summary **
    The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
    Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
    System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
    Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
    What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
    Work Protect Mode
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/b76f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
    Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
    Kindly update me as per your findings.

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

    Let's help solve this mystery together! Is your screen freezing after every reboot? Is there any physical/liquid damage on the device? When did this issue begin? Did you notice this after a recent update or application download?

  • Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

    Hi,
    Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
    I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Franco.

    I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
    Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

  • ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

    iTunes is not working properly after the newest update...  It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store.  Anyone have a solution or an explanation?  I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works.  Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed.  After that it all went to crap.  Thanks, Randy...

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Front Row doesn't work properly in OSX 10.5

    I'm having a problem with Front Row not working properly in OSX 10.5
    iPhoto transitions aren't working properly in the slide shows, My monitor keeps turning off,
    I have a KDS 17" LCD monitor.
    Also iMovie will show movies with big blank gaps in the video,
    Yet iPhoto and iMovie will run fine using OSX 10.4.10
    The other iApps of iLife 08 appear to be alright so far.
    Is there a fix coming?
    Dave

    Figured it out...
    The "Front Row" settings were set for a screensaver, That's why the monitor kept blanking out,
    I've turned off the screensaver in the settings and "Front Row" works fine now.
    There is no screensaver image chosen, That's why the screen kept going blank or even off.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Asha 501 : Whatsapp not working properly after 14....

    Hi,
    whatsapp is not working properly after software update, some times contacts never sync. screen goes pale and chat window doesn't show properly.
    Looks like memory problem after the new  updates or anything else?

    Similar complains around the web. I'd recommend getting the phone flashed at a care point to see if that improves the situation.
    Do wait for a couple of weeks for the full firmware files to be available at the respective care centers. AFAIK, they are not yet available in India.

  • SoundBlaster Live (value) working properly on XP after having no sound. Digital out

    I recently did a reformat and install of everything on my XP pc. I knew that the Sound Blaster Li've would be tricky to get going again, and it was. I installed the most recent drivers from this (Creative) website and it just didnt work. I messed with every setting possible. ?I did a google search and read that many people have the same issue. Looking through some old files that I had, I came across an older Creative SB XP insall. I installed it and it worked instantly after it rebooted after the install. I then selected digital output as that is what I am using. If anybody is interested in trying this (if you have no sound), you can download the file herehttp://www.sharebigfile.com/file/53478/SBLi'veXPDrvUpdate.exe.html?If link doesnt work, see 3rd message. I upped it to another hosting area.?File is just under 0mb. On that page you will see that you need to enter a 3 or so digit code to download it. It's easy to miss so look carefully toward the bottom.
    Let me know if this works for you. if it does, please post back here so that others can determine if they need this.?

  • How to make Windows Update work properly after a fresh XP Home Installation

    1. Set up Boot Camp 60 gig partition.
    2. Install full copy of Windows XP SP2 on the Boot Camp partition.
    3. Using the OSX Disk, Install the Boot Camp 2.0 Drivers for Windows.
    4. Download the Boot Camp 2.1 Update from apple.com and install it.
    5. In Windows, run the Apple Software Update.
    6. In your Windows systray, you probably have notice of "automatic software updates". Install them from the systray notification and they will install correctly.
    7. Now manually visit Windows Update. You can view all available updates but if you try to actually install any updates this way you will hang immediately at the "Downloading" status. No actual download even starts.
    This problem will persist across reboots, etc. It will occur if you try to upgrade from Windows Update to Microsoft Update, and even if you then uninstall Microsoft Update and go back to Windows Update.
    The only action that corrects this problem is to perform the following steps:
    1. In Windows, choose Start > Run and enter "msconfig".
    2. In the MS Configuration utility, choose to restart Windows in diagnostic mode. (You must perform the following step in diagnostic mode or some of the files you need to delete will be locked by some running service or whatnot.)
    3. After Windows comes up in diagnostic mode, open the C:\Windows\Software Distribution. Delete everything inside that folder (but not the folder itself).
    4. Run msconfig again and select to restart Windows in normal mode again.
    5. When Windows comes up in normal mode, it recreates the entire default contents that you just deleted in the previous step, and Windows Update will now work properly.

    I kept running into this same problem with Windows Update every single time I restarted into Boot Camp from the OSX side of things. (System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Untitled > Restart.)
    I could clear the problem every time by rebooting (while in Boot Camp) into Diagnostic mode, clearing the contents of the C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder, and then restarting back into Normal mode.
    On a hunch, one time I did not bother with the above steps, but just restarted Windows (Start > Shutdown > Restart). Whaddya know? That worked to clear the problem with Windows Update too!
    So at this point I think the root cause of the problem is something about Boot Camp itself, particularly when you first switch from OSX over to your Boot Camp partition. It is 100% repeatable that Windows Update will run and find your various uninstalled updates, but if you try to actually download any of them, the process will hang right at the start of "Downloading".
    Simply shutting down and restarting Windows while already in Boot Camp solves this problem completely.
    It's also interesting to note that if you use VMWare Fusion to run a VM of your Boot Camp partition you do not have this problem at all. Windows Update will run perfectly each and every time you run your Boot Camp version of Windows under VMWare Fusion. You only need to do this restarting of Windows if you are actually in Boot Camp.
