TimeMachine still buggy, Apple
Thank you, Apple, for presenting the gift of an epic fail named Mavericks to your 30th Birthday - I miss Steve Jobs!
In nearly 20 years of MacOS/OSX I never had such a struggle as since the update to Mavericks. My daily business suffers much from all the newly introduced bugs and Apple is slower than a snail in fixing them (AFP/SMB/TimeMachine/Mail and lots of minor bugs). 10.9.2 still doesn't help much.
The network protocol bugs detroyed PSD, AI, EPS and other files during copying until the 10.9.2 Update and TimeMachine still doesn't run fine in network environment.
I've got 2 QNAP NAS and a Netgear NAS all equipped with Mavericks Updates (4.0.5).
The QNAP NASes have explicid TM support for Mavericks and a special service for that.
I activated the service and the NAS share was directly there in the TM setup. Login worked well and the backup started without any problems.
(besides it's unbelievable slow compared to other OSX <-> NAS transactions)
No errors reported, successful backup according to TM.
Since I suffered from tons of trouble from Mavericks on I didn't trust Apple/OSX/TM and tried to restore some files for testing purpose.
Aliasses were nameless files without any icon or use, PSD files had no thumbnail anymore and -how is that??- no possibility to be executed.
No double click reaction, no 'open' or 'open with' right mouse option in the contect menue.
My whole story since Mavericks is way to loo long to post here, but since then I had endless TM and network troubles.
(don't even speak of the minor bugs that are still there in 10.9.2 - well, I know: iMessage is most important)
Can anyone help me out here please?
(No, please no redirects to QNAP or Netgear. The bugs are on Apple side)
I'm just very, very dissapointed from how Apple is treating their customers/community/fans. Such epic fails were Windows jobs all the time - but even MS delivers bugfixes way faster (don't mention the SSL bug). 10.9.2 had to be out way before and it had to fix way more bugs (and not deliver iMessage candy first!). Things like these must'n happen, really, Apple.
I backed up all my Mac date to a QNAP NAS via TimeMachine on OSX 10.8.
Therefore I just mounted a share via AFP and TM did the job well (backup fully functional).
After the update to Mavericks (http://www.zdnet.com/open-letter-to-tim-cook-its-time-to-call-mavericks-beta-700 0023186/) this went on it seemed. But as I wanted to restore my data after switching to SSD, the NAS wasn't there as an option to choose (TM and migration assistent).
After some tries I copied the SparseBundle to an ext. USB HDD within the NAS, but in Mavericks TM only the backups till the last 10.8 one were available (I did daily backups and one just before switching HDD/SSD).
Within the SparseBundle all the data were there and functional.
So backup via AFP to third party NAS worked very well in my (QNAP) case, but Apple made problems.
I restored to 10.8 via TM, updated to 10.9 then (I'd better never done so!) and copied the necessary data out of the SparseBundle by hand.
Just now I tried mounting a share from the same NAS (with Mav fix) to do a new TM backup, but TM doesn't show any NAS share at all (mounted via AFP and SMB, both there and accessible in the finder).
Instead I'm getting asked for another WiFi TimeCapsule...
I think that's exactly it: Apple wants so sell their absolutely overpriced TC and therefore keeps out those NAS solutions. (your info about the netatalk protocol was helpful and I'm sure, you're right in many cases, but my constellation did work before with 10.8 and there is no reason why the NAS shares aren't shown in TM anymore under 10.9.2).
The special TM service of my big QNAP NAS shows a TM share in TM under Mav. The backup runs without any error message. But after a restore test it's shown, that the data is corrupt (the simple backup solution in 10.8 wored absolutely fine). Why there is no error message about that during backup? Maybe that error depends on what you said about netatalk, maybe it's another keep out strategy. But a simple mount worked before and is no option any more. What's the why here? I don't see one besides a marketing political.
And the buggy network protocols were/are fact, too. At least one of them that corrupted some file types during copying has been fixed in 10.9.2, so it was no third party but Apple bug (brushed under the carped).
It's just like David Gewirtz from ZDnet wrote in his open letter, no matter what the allmighty Apple marketing declares.

Safari and Zoom still Buggy. Any Other Workaround?
Hi. Even after the update Safari and zoom are still buggy. I still haven't felt that transition from Snow to Lion for some reason (most of the Lion features could be simplified and not separated as different apps actually, dashboard, mission control, spotlight and launchpad could be one, same with App Store and itunes and iDVD and Quicktime, and all those could just be in iTunes- the features have become an app overload). It's easy to do a workaround using another browser but sometimes you want to use just Apple products:) Sometime I wonder if Apple will still have that enthusiasm even after Steve won't lead them anymore. That could be depressing for the employees I guess. If Lion's bugs are a sign of that lack of enthusiasm and maybe depression, I hope they get their drive back. Thank you in advance.
Gbu.It's Lion resume feature which is not good in this situation. Now try closing Safari by using option+command+Q keys combination.
Open Safari again and I hope you have a normal homepage. You can then in menu Safari > Reset Safari...
Check the ones you like delete (you might have to login again after this). -
I have a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 and a Time Capsule 500GB since July 2008. My problem is (for the 4th time in 4 yrs) the backup gets stuck in "preparing" indefinitely (hours). In the past, wile still under apple care warranty, tech support had me redo backup (loosing previous backups). Now I'm out of warranty and still having this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am using iPhone 5 and tried to Erase All Contents and Settings but it is just showing an apple sign on the screen and nothing is happening now for about 3 days now. All it does is eat up my battery and still show apple sign after charging! Help!!!!
Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Do Apple stores still sell Apple Tv in the UK
What is the main difference between Apple Tv 2 and Apple Tv 3?
Which version is the cheapest?
Is there a difference in firmware between the two boxes and generations?
Do Apple stores still sell Apple Tv 2 in the UK?
Thank You
PavWelcome to the Apple community.
The main physical difference between these two devices are their specifications, the Apple TV 3 has much higher specs. For the time being this translates only into the ability to output 1080p to the TV. Whether or not it will become capable of other things that the Apple TV 2 cannot do, we do not know.
The Apple TV 2 and the Apple TV 3 can both run the same software. The only difference between the two boxes is that the Apple TV 3 box has 1080p stamped on it.
No, I do not believe that the Apple stores still sell the Apple TV 2, there will be little point to that, it was the same price as the Apple TV 3 and who would want that when there is a higher spec version available. You may however find refurbished versions available at the Apple Store. -
If I have I wifi tv do I still need apple tv
Do I still need apple tv if my tv is wifi
That's up to you. The integration with iTunes (streaming local content, rentals, icloud, mirroring etc.) is something it has over other devices. If say you just want to access something like Netflix then it's harder to say as you likely already have that. Why don't you go to an apple store and check one out if you're unsure.

Hey,
I was wondering can I still get apple care on my Mac BookPro 13" I got it in Late 2011?The starting clock is actual date of purchase. And they do count all of the actual day even you bought it at 6 PM. And if you buy it online "purchase date" is when they process your card, not when you receive it.
Get AppleCare a week in advance to be sure all snafus in getting it activated will not push you beyond that first year. -
As in my initial Question: A cd is blocked inside my mac, doent come out. My mac is still under apple care and its 3 monts old. iI ALWAYS USE MY MAC SINCE I WORK FOR A TELEVISION MEDIA COMPANY. SO IS Apple MENT TO GIVE ME ANOTER ONE WHILST MINE IS MENDING??
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
thanks you for your time
Kind Regards
MattiaPlease be advised that we are individual users just like you. I understand and appreciate that you use your MBP in a vocational environment and evidently it is critical for you to have a functioning MBP at all times. Unlike some car dealers, Apple does not have a 'loaner' program.
You may be able to talk the local Apple store to lend you one, but they are under no obligation to do so. As BobTHeFisherman suggests, the only reasonable solution for the current situation and possible future ones, is to have a backup MBP, ready to be used if the primary one fails.
Even if you got a 'loaner', I question the practicality of setting it up and transferring data in a timely manner that would enable it to be used for your job. The quick and temporary solution to you situation is to purchase an external DVD drive that can substitute for the internal one with the entrenched CD. This should permit you to continue your work uninterrupted with all functions of your MBP still at your disposal.

i have ipod 2nd generation 32 gb and i had reset > Erase All Content and Settings it is longer than 3 hrs it is still showing apple logo and blink like if it will restart but again it shows the same logo!! is it all right with the erasing...??? i am confused!!
For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Dreamweaver CS3 still buggy and no updates while CS4 is being released ??
dreamweaver CS3
still buggy ??
and
adobe has released CS4 instead of updating CS3?
hi,
we are using dreamweaver cs3 international (turkish) version and it crashes while performing
search & replace all (code editor view) option.
is there a way to solve this issue (any updates, fixes and etc. )
or
do we need to use WORDPAD
application to make Search&Replace words in a document
instead of DW CS3
regards.
i hope there is/will be any real update or fix for this. (I AM SURE ADOBE FINDS A WAY TO SOLVE this)
info:
using
Vista Home Premium
P CoreII Duo
2gb ram
dreamweaver cs3 turkish version ( V 9.0 Build 53 )
======================================well.
it feels bad, after paying money.
not being able to use a software full.
and ADOBE must be ashamed to give such service
(by not updating these softwares which has still lots of unknonw! bugs and also must be ashamed to put a page for unknown bugs. and trying to make customers be their own software engineers instead of the company's hundreths of engineers)
and this, which they do not fix their program is not important or the issue.
it is a sad subject that, they think the people will give money to fix their unusable programs which they already bought.
and to customers who has paid about 1000$ to a software suit are having a bad vision that ADOBE started to work for money instead of customer happiness.
when they understand their
1000$ program has no support at all. no update or fixes at all.
which can not do a simple action
which the simplest editor WORDPAD editor does. -
Purchased iPad 2 last year, can I still purchase apple care?
My iPad 2 is not yet past the 1 year warranty, can I still purchase Apple Care?
You'll need to find a boxed retail version either at an Apple Store or online, but as long as you can find one, then yes, you can still register it and get coverage.
You might even still be able to buy it online, as it seems to still come up as in stock on some stores?

How to get AppleCare+
Purchase AppleCare+ together with your new iPad, and you'll be automatically registered in the plan. Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPad.
Or buy it within 30 days of your iPad purchase:
At an Apple Retail Store (if AppleCare+ is purchased separately from iPad, inspection of iPad and proof of purchase are required.)
Or call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

If i buy iPhone from verizon can i still purchase apple care
If I buy my phone from verizon can I still purchase apple care plan from apple?
You sound really certain about this -- but Apple's current info page for AppleCare+ says "AppleCare+ must be purchased together with new covered equipment." (bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html )
And AppleCare isn't one of the "accessories" Verizon seems to let you order with the phone. So wouldn't this mean it's impossible to order it from Verizon and get AppleCare?
