TC works w/Time Machine, but not as as AP

Really weird. All Macs successfully back up wirelessly via TM to my TC. And all Macs detect the TC as a valid AP (with strong signal)...and can 'join' the TC.....but there is no Internet access when using the TC. Any ideas are welcome. TIA.

Glad that worked Steve!
The key is the 90 second gap between each device so each upstream device gets a chance to build the IP addresses it will lease to the next box downstream. Always perform the process in the exact order beginning with moden and ending at the computer.
best,

Is there a software that works like Time Machine but for a PC

Hi I am a IT admin for a company in Atlanta, Ga. I use apple at the home and love it. I have several users at my company that can't seem to understand simple file structures. So they are constently deleting, moving and overwriting files on there system. A software like Time Machine would really help me out to recover thier mistakes. The only problem is that they work on windows XP systems. Is there a PC software out there that works like Time Machine?

After evaluating a number of backup software options for my corporate Dell d620 laptop (yes, unbelievably, my company doesn't offer an automatic backup of their users' machines!), I chose Second Copy for the following reasons:
1. Different backup profile options (e.g., I have one that automatically backs up to the local LAN on a schedule and at shut-down when I'm in my office, a profile for manual backup to an external HD, and another profile for manual backup to my 4 GB USB flash drive). You can even backup remotely and trigger an email to a specified recipient when a backup is complete.
2. The backup file structure is not proprietary or in a format differing from the original, thereby not requiring the original software to open the files and restore.
3. Only backs up changed data, making it very quick each time.
4. Simple to set up and use.
5. $29
When working from my home office, I will often run a backup on my flash drive or external HD, transfer it to my Mac, and work from the 24" glossy-screened glory in favor of my tiny washed out Windows laptop display.
I realize this doesn't quite approach the no-brainer flexibility of Time Machine, but with a bit of thought, you could get your users automatically backing up to various locations on varying schedules and accomplish the same thing (i.e., automatically back up every day to their primary local LAN, back up every week to a secondary off-site location, etc.). Effectively, you could have daily and weekly backups to restore from, somewhat similar to Time Machine.
Good luck!

Report Generation working on Dev machine but not on Deployment + Lessons learned

I don't do deployments very often with Teststand. But I have to say, I learned a lot from this one from trial and error and help from the message board. I have got my deployment to final work (almost) with these lessons learned:
1. Create a base installer for the engines and drivers, that way if you need to update it is much smaller.
2. Dont install Teststand before Labview on a new development machine (not related to this deployment but I did learn that)
3. Don't have your Testexec window open, alter the Station Globals, then close the window. It just puts them back to the old version (probably my biggest problem).
4. Paths are extemely important.
I think I have figured it out with much time involved and kept notes of what I have done for future. The ONLY issue I have left is this below. My dev machine works as it should but when I deploy, it does not. FYI- I manually copied over Station Globals, Process model, and Testexec. DO I need something else?
I create serial numbers for my UUT's in the proceses model. It all works fine in development. The serial numbers are generated and the UUT filename is titled [023232232].txt and changes per unit. The path for example lets say is C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\temp. A logfile is generated for each and put in that folder.
When I deploy, it does something different. Instead of putting the files into the temp folder, it errors out saying it is in use. If I delete the temp folder, it creates a file called "temp" which contains my text logfile. This file just keeps getting overwritten.
Any ideas on this?

Hi SimpleJack,
One way you can ensure that the Report Options you want to have stay with your sequence file is to actually override them using a Sequence File Callback. I have attached a link to a KnowledgeBase article that walks you through how to add the ReportOptions callback to your sequence and programmatically set the options that you would normally set by going to Configure»Report Options from the Sequence Editor.
Also, to ensure that the correct Process Model is being used with your sequence file after distributing, you can set the Process Model within the Sequence File Properties. This can be found by going to Edit»Sequence File Properties, and then going to the Advanced tab. I have attached a screenshot of this window below, as well. From here, you can set the Model Option to Require Specific Model, which especially comes in handy if you are using your own custom Process Models.
I hope this helps, SimpleJack! Have a great day!

Time-capsule as a Time Machine but not a ethernet router

Hi all,
I have an Asus RT-n66u router acting as a router to serve the network.
I have an old 2nd gen 2TB time capsule and would like to use it as a wireless Time Machine backup instead of a wireless router.
I am wondering whether I can connect the ethernet cable physically to my asus router and still use the time capsule it as a backup disk.
I read something related to turning the time capsule to bridge mode but I'm not exactly sure how it works.
It will be greatly appreciated if anyone can let me know whether its do-able and instructions on how to achieve that.
Thanks!

Yes, you can do exactly as you suggest.
Ethernet cable LAN asus to WAN TC.
Put the TC in bridge.
Decide what you want to do wireless wise.. you could just turn off the TC wireless or run it .. create a wireless network. .but in this case I would use a different name to the Asus is using just to keep them separate.
Test backup if you ever do it over wireless via the Asus vs direct to the TC.
Sometimes backup loads can be very high and it is worth having a separate wireless sort of just for clients that will use the backup.. that also means using 5ghz and keeping the TC as close to the end device as possible..
Of course if you use ethernet then none of that matters and you can just turn off the wireless.

XMLDocument.Validate works on some machines but not on others

Hi All
I have a problem which I cannot Solve , I have a routine that Validates a node in a document against a XSD file using the XmlDocument.Validate method. This works fine on several machines but on a different network using the Same Document and schema files validate fails with a validation exception element not found . I cannot figure out why the exact same files and application should be successful on one machine and unsuccessfull on another. I have used Filemon to see if their are ACCESS DENIED problems but there are none.
I have reinstalled the framework 2.0, to no avail
Regards

I am trying to Get the Details on to an HTTP server no luck yet, and this fourm says that the files are to large to upload. , I have noticed the FILEMON says that the MSCORLIB.PDB file was not found in two locations WINNT and WINNT\dll would this have somthing to do with the problem. I have given the XML and Schema files to others to view but they confirm that there is nothing wrong with the file or the schema.

JavaMail applet working on local machine - but NOT on my webpage

Hi.
My code works on my machine as an applet run through my Eclipse IDE.
I have the Applet deployed on my website, which is the same server as the email server itself.
public void postMail(String to, String subject,
                            String message , String from) throws MessagingException
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail.completemusician.net");
     props.put("mail.smtp.port", "2626");
     props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
    session.setDebug(debug);
    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set the from and to address
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
    InternetAddress addressTo = new InternetAddress(to);
    msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
    // Setting the Subject and Content Type
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
    Transport.send(msg);
}1) I know my code works on my local machine - so it's not related to a code bug.
2) I know that all class files are uploaded correctly and working in a single JAR file. The other 3 classes I use work fine in this applet.
3) I receive no errors of any kind - it just appears that my constructor may not be called, or the instant java mail API is mentioned, the applet just refuses to work.
v.setMessage("Attempting to send..");This line never is used in my class constructor - which is troubling.
public SendMailUsingAuthentication(String from, String to, String subject,
          String text, ValidationDialog vd) {
       v = vd;
       v.setMessage("Attempting to send..");
       boolean succeed = true;
       try {
          postMail(to, subject, text, from);
     } catch (Exception e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          v.setMessage("Email delivery has failed. " +
                     "Please check your email address provided and try again." +
                     "\n\n" + e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();
          succeed = false;
     if(succeed)
           v.setMessage("Your request has been submitted successfully.\n\n" +
                     "You may safely navigate away from this page.");
           v.setBlue();
     // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}Feel free to reply - I would appreciate your help. Just keep in mind:
1) Don't tell me to use javascript. I refuse.
2) Don't tell me I need a server application. It's supposed to work according to documentation, without it.

Is your applet signed properly? Note that you have to sign all the jars for the applet -- including the JavaMail jar and the activation jar -- using the same signer.

My Time Capsule will not work through Time Machine but need to back up because my hard drive is corrupt. I hard-wired it to my MacBook Pro and have been dragging files to capsule in finder window. Will I have problems since it's flashing yellow constantly

My Time Capsule is constantly flashing yellow and it will not preform periodic back-ups. When I tell it to from the icon on the top task bar, it freezes MacBook...every time. I am now dragging files from internal HD to TC found in Finder after hardwiring it to laptop treating it as an external HD. Can in trust it to store files and photos as my MacBook is telling me to back-up because my internal HD is corrupt and may need replacing?
Thanks in advance.

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Audio chat works on one machine, but not on the other!

First up, my setup:
Comcast Cable Modem -> Linksys Router -> iMac (Core2Duo), PowerBook (G4), Vonage
Both systems running OS X 10.4.10. Both systems are connected through their Airport cards (ethernet cables are pulled) to the router.
To better debug the problem I turned the Firewall and LittleSnitch off on both systems.
The router's firewall is turned off as well.
Port forwarding is also checked, and the PowerBook is not even listed having any ports forwarded at all (that's the one iChat audio chat works).
There must be something blocking the iMac... but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help greatly appreciated!
Here the error message when trying to start a audio chat on the iMac:

[VCAUDIO_OUTGOINGATTEMPT]

well, i updated the router (latest firmware is from april 2006!). rebooted the modem, then the router, restarted ichat. same problem unfortunately. however i found some geeky cool-aid on macosxhints. a shell script which configures the router to enable dmz, and another one to disable dmz. with a little shell script one should be able to enable dmz, start ichat. and upon quitting ichat disable dmz. not the best solution, but this will help me out...
thanks to tony for his help! (we should send him a fruit basket or something 8)

Ipod working on one machine but not another

I purchased a 30gb iPod video today, the problem is after I installed iTunes and plugged the iPod in I got an error message stating my ipod was possibly corrupted and suggesting that I restore it. When I try to restore it says this isnt possible because it can't download the required rescoure. The odd thing is when I plug it into another, much older computer in my house, it works fine. I've looked over a lot of the topics on this forum and can't find anything that has worked yet. Both machines are running Windows XP and iTunes 7, however the older machine has usp 1.0 ports yet it still worked. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Not sure, maybe if you can share the form, I can have a look at it.

Report works on development machine, but not on distributed machines

Restoring MBP with Time Machine but apps are missing

Hi,
I have multiple problems, so I'll keep it brief.
RAM failed on my early 08 MBP. It corrupted the parttion thing and wiped my HDD. Nice.
Apple replaced RAM & HDD under warranty.
Have data backed up using Time Machine, but not the apps (I thought I was saving space that way, big mistake).
Restored from scratch using install disks + Time Machine but I have very few apps now, i,e. no Address book, Mail, Calendar etc, i.e. the important stuff.
Is there a way I can cherry pick those apps from somewhere to reinstall them while retaining my data on the MBP?
Or do I have to start over, do a clean install using disks and then cherry pick my data off the TM backup?
Oh, an the **** install disk is now stuck in the thing. Ggggrrrrr. Assuming I can get that out, what's the best course of action?
Thanks very much in advance.

That's the weird thing, Although the install disks have the logos of iChat, Mal etc on the initial screen, once you click continue and go through it, even using the 'custom' options, the onyl apps on my disks are: upgrades to iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand & iDVD plus iWeb. No Mail, Address Book etc.
Anyone else had this experience?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Good evening,
after upgrading Iphoto 9.5 a page opened requiring to upgrade my library. As it did not work out,for fear of losing all my pictures I loaded Iphoto 9.4.3 with Time machine but I had lost quite a few photos. As a matter of fact, after searching , I found them In Photo library in 'images' on my hard drive. When I double click, 9.5 appears with all my pictures. Therefore, I would like to use 9.5 just by by clicking on the icon down my finder and not by being obliged to open my hard drive.
Would you please tell me what I should do. Thank you.
Best regards,
Robert

Huh?
As it did not work out,for fear of losing all my pictures I loaded Iphoto 9.4.3 with Time machine but I had lost quite a few photos. As a matter of fact, after searching , I found them In Photo library in 'images' on my hard drive. When I double click, 9.5 appears with all my pictures.
So, you have restored 9.4.3 from Time Machine but can see all your pictures in 9.5?
Do you have two version of iPhoto on your Machine?
And if you didn't update the Library, ("as it did not work out,") how can you see things in 9.5?
So, whatever set up you have is confusing.

In working with my calendar, i don't know what i might have done, but all entries on Fridays, starting from Friday, March 14, simply disappeared. my time machine was not functioning and am wondering if this info is hiding somewhere in the cloud?

In working with icalendar, i inadvertantly lost all Friday entries after March 14th. My time machine was not hooked up. Hoped that the cloud might have this information.

You can check to see if they are still in iCloud by looking at your calendar on icloud.com. If they are, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. If they aren't on icloud.com you might just give it some time to see if they reappear due to a server glitch.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.
