Timemachine tries using Public-1 why ???

I am trying to use Timemachine on a non Apple NAS.
The latter publishes a /Volumes/Public folder via Samba on which I can happily create files in a Terminal window:
//GUEST:@RJATS219P(SAMBA)._smb._tcp.local/Public 3842633248 1027606704 2815026544    27%    /Volumes/Public
imac:Public Bob$ ls -la
total 46
drwxrwxrwx 1 Bob   staff 16384 5 Nov 10:45 .
drwxrwxrwt@ 5 root admin    170 5 Nov 10:41 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Bob   staff   6148 28 Ott 23:18 .DS_Store
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Bob   staff      0 5 Nov 10:45 testfile
I see this share in the Time machine preferences and selected it.
When the backup starts it hangs on a "Making file available" for a while (out of memory so message could be slightly different) but then after a few mins fails with the following message:
Time Machine could not complete the backup
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Public-1/Imac.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 45).
Why is TM trying to use a non existant Public-1 filesystem ?
Thank you very much.
Bob

Sorry think I solved it by myself :-)
a) I think one problem was trying to use a SMB share. Is that correct ?
b) The problem was solved by performing a "Full reset of Time Machine" as described here:

Thank you all

I am having a problem moving files from a iMac in location mac in another location. I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc. When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

We don't want to email it..... we want to upload it.
Then why did you say (emphasis added):
Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer. Nobody ever has claimed otherwise. However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain. Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
Then sell your iPad and go buy one. You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If the videos are in an iPhone compatible format and are in a folder of photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, do you also have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab?
Or if the videos are in an iPhone compatible format, they need to be in your iTunes library and can be selected under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone.

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
Please help? tagjsmith.

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox. The upload gets caught in a loop. nojo99

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox (my internet provider). The upload always gets caught in a loop. I have repaired permissions. I've been successfully uploading movies each week to my church website (or intermediary like Filezilla) for over a year. I cannot figure out why I'm no longer successful. Your feedback is desired and welcome. nojo99

IPad2 No Sound (7.0.4) even after Reset, YES I have tried using volume controls!, iPad2 No Sound (7.0.4) even after Reset, YES I have tried using volume controls!

I have an iPad2 that has recently been updated with 7.0.4. After turning off my iPad, I lost all audio from the iPad. Speakers work because when in Setting>Sounds> the ringer options work. YES, I have tried using the volume controls. But now the volume controls only control the ringer options.
I have changed the option under settings for the lock out to mute and back to lock out.
I have reset all setting
I have turned off and on
I have done are hard reset (holding the 2 buttons down).
I have erased everything and started all over reset.
I still have now sound from my iPad. Again the speakers work, when I go to sound under setting and play with the volume of the ringer it plays the sound.
Why is my controls now only for a ringer after the UPDATE. Is my iPad2 a paper weight?

Alright I have made some progress. I used compressed air and then rubbing alcohol to clean contacts. I first powered off the iPad2 and cleaned with air. Then I used the new toothbrush and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts (really not sure how that works, but I will try anything at this point). Twice the ipad turned on when cleaning contacts.
Outcome I now get sound from typing on the ipad like the typewriter sound. I did not have that before, but still no audio from apps or youtube, or anything else.

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again.

HT5137 i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost colore to gray and stopped responding

i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost color to gray and stopped responding.? most of the pop up boxes will also not respond why?

Thanks Winston, restarting my router worked for me too. Seems that somehow the DCHP (maybe due to the Mountain Lion upgrade?) had assigned the same IP address to both the AppleTV and my iMac. The AppleTV stopped appearing as an AirPlay device for my iPhone and Mac, but still the AppleTV had Internet access.
Restarting the router reassigned IPs and without fanfare, the AppleTV is now available to AirPlay.

Anyone tried using Xcode 4?

With the public release of Xcode 4, I was wondering if anyone has tried using it for InDesign development?
Any success stories? Any failures?
What version of the SDK did you try? 3, 4, 5?
Any important lessons learnt that you'd like to document?

I've been trying this myself and I've run into a few issues. I'm trying to build for CS4 using Xcode4.
There's a bit of back and forth in this as I'm trying to explain clearly what I've done.
First off I started with a clean Mac with 10.6 as the OS with the CS4 InDesign SDK installed. I then installed Xcode4 using: xcode_4.0.2_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg. I then created a simple project using Dolly.sh and just used whatever was set and the default values.
When opening the xcode project with Xcode4, the project opened without comment (I was expect a question about if I wanted to upgrade the project), and I could see that the links to files in the InDesign SDK weren't being resolved. I re-created the project files using Dolly but changed the path from the relative path to a fully specified path.
Next I noticed that there was no MacOSX10.4u.sdk installed. In the file browser on the left, under the project icon was a message: "2 targets, missing base SDK".
I restarted the Xcode4 installer and couldn't see an option for installing the 10.4 SDK. I then went back to a older Xcode3 installer xcode_3.2.2_and_iphone_sdk_3.2_final.dmg and used it to install the MacOSX10.4u.sdk file (and gcc 4.0). Then I went back to the Xcode4 installer and ran it again. Oddly running the Xcode4 installer deleted the MacOSX10.4u.sdk (and gcc 4.0) files.
So I removed the /Developer folder and installed Xcode3 into a /DeveloperXcode3 folder and the Xcode4 into a /DeveloperXcode4 folder. In the build settings I changed the "Base SDK" to be "/DeveloperXcode3/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk". The "missing SDK" message remained. Restarting Xcode4 didn't solve the problem.
At any point I' try to build and I'd see a message like "The selected run destination is not valid for this action."
Anyone got any ideas hov I can move forward?

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate my passport for mac disc, but my mac is also holding 40G worth of back up when i check what is using space. Why is this?

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate " my passport for mac" disc , but my mac is also holding approx 40G of back ups as well when ive checked what is using space. Why is this?
Ive started running iphoto from the separate passport to save space,
and put all my music into the itunes match to save space as well
but it is still saying it is almost full because of the back ups!
I should of bought a bigger mac, but i need to make do at the moment, but it is hard when it constantly has only 10G or less space left.

When you use TimeMachine to back up a Mac notebook the local backups feature is automatically enabled. The local backup is just like a TimeMachine backup but it is done to the internal drive rather than an external. The important thing about local backups is that the feature is smart - as you need more drive space for your own data and applications, TimeMachine automatically culls the local backup to give you that needed space. So yes, it will look like you have very little drive space left and that the backup is 'robbing' you of needed GBs. But it really isn't.

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.
