RE: Time Machine Backups
Thanks for the very clear comprehensive set of procedures for me to try out Ronni. Yes, we're certainly using the wireless network to do these backups, I was trying to explore if there were differences between if the Time Capsule has an active internet connection (as opposed to the wireless connection between Macbook and TC) or not and if it makes any difference to the ability for a backup to happen. Translating that confusing sentence - does it matter to the TC for backups if the Internet connection is active or not? I hope to run the checks you've noted by the weekend.

Am I imagining this or is this true that I should expect this behaviour? I would have thought that the backup is independent of there being an active Internet connection or not. Hi Peter, You are backing up to Time Capsule / Time Machine wirelessly aren't you, so yes you do need to be connected to the Wireless Network. Open AirPort Utility, choose yours from the left pane, Manual Setup and then Time Capsule from the right and see if anything stands out. You can also choose advanced from the top and find and browse the logs for any other info. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TimeCapsule_SetupGuide.pdf You have not indicated whether you have tried any troubleshooting steps, so we don't know if you may have already tried these basic steps: 1. Power cycle your network by powering everything off, order is not important. Wait a few minutes then start the modem first and let it run by itself for a few minutes, then start the Time Capsule the same way, and then your computers the same way. 2. Try a different wireless channel setting on your Time Capsule for your wireless network in case you may be picking up some interference from another wireless network, cordless phones or nearby electronics. Applications Utilities AirPort Utility Manual Setup Wireless tab Click on the Channel setting to change your channel(s). 3. Open System Preferences and open Network Click on the AirPort icon and then click Advanced at the lower right Locate the name of your wireless network in the list and click the - (minus) button to delete it. Click OK, click Apply 4. Open Applications Utilities KeyChain Access Locate the name of your network and delete this entry as well 5. Restart your computer and log on to your wireless network again. - I suggest you download iStumbler http://www.istumbler.net/ and use the application to display your signal strength and noise on your network. What values do you see for each of these? Also look at any other networks to see if they might be using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your wireless network. If so, change the channel on your wireless network so that it is as far away as possible from other networks. If you have cordless phones, turn them all off for at least an hour when you can to see if your network performance improves.

In 2007 I started a blog for our parish at http://www.blognow.com.au/ It has worked very well. However, last Saturday I went to log on and it timed out. The Home page was available and a contact button was active so I sent a message telling of my problem. An automated response came back that said all queries are dealt with within 24 hours - and my past experience with the odd question has confirmed that. But, to date I have had no response. On the Home page is a help button. I went to that and checked out log on problems and followed the instructions to dump blognow cookies and clear the cache (Firefox 3.6.3 OSX 10.5.8 intel iMac). Still no joy. The only way of contacting the blog managers is through their website's email form - which, as said before, I have done. Is anyone on the list currently using blognow.com.au ? Are you able to login? I have tried Safari as well. Feed back appreciated.

Re: Time Machine Backups
Hi Peter, On looking back through the archives, you have been experiencing problems with your Time Capsule Wireless Network since you first tried setting it up. I feel you have a problem with your overall Network Setup Configuration. If the troubleshooting suggestions I sent to you earlier today don't fix all your problems with the Network, I have done a 9 page Tutorial explaining showing 'How To: Setup Airport Time Capsule / Airport Extreme N 'Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station Network'. Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station. Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule (models introduced in 2009) now operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multi-band devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. The PDF Tutorial AIRPORT EXTREME N DUAL-BAND BASE STATION NETWORK.pdf is on my Website. If you think it would be helpful for you, email me Off List for the details password to enable you to download the Tutorial.

Fwd: Permissions Issues
Ronni Thanks for this. I did have a backup of the drive but unfortunately after having the machine for more than a month I think the technician got exasperated and just wanted to see the back of it. So, I got a new hard drive which was, unfortuantely, a little noisier than the original and also the install was done on a new user account which did not have the same name as the old one. So, perhaps this is the source of the permissions problems. I did the id command and got the following: admins-imac:~ adam3$ id uid=501(adam3) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),101(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),204(_developer),100(_lpoperator),98(_lpadmin),81(_appserveradm),80(admin),79(_appserverusr),61(localaccounts),12(everyone),401(com.apple.access_screensharing) admins-imac:~ adam3$ Thanks for your help.

As time goes by I am getting through all of the little issues. Hmmm, this doesn't sound good to me. From reading above, I take it you did not have a 'Backup' of the Drive before it was corrupted? If the service people have just given you what they recovered from the corrupted drive … and you are trying to copy these files onto the fresh install, there could be corruption in some of the files. Did you create an 'exact' User Account on the Fresh Install as the 'User' you had on the original hard drive? If you didn't, you will run into Permission problems, as you will find the UID GID are not the same. Mac OS X displays the user name of the account that owns a folder or file, it’s easy to assume that that account with that user name owns the item. In reality, it’s not quite so simple. The owner is actually determined by a number called the UID—the user identification number, not by the user name. In addition the group is, in fact, determined by the GID—the group identification number. To reveal your account’s UID and primary GID, type id in a Terminal window (and then press Return).

The permissions changes were different depending whether you wanted it accessible to specific users (which I did) or open to any user (which would include Guest if you have it enabled). Obviously exact steps/files would be different with Fusion - but I suspect the principle is the same. I was working with existing VMs - if you are starting from scratch you MAY be able to get around it by specifying a shared folder for Fusion to use for the VMs (don't know, but worth a try).

Stuart, It¹s not the new ³Digital Radio² but until there¹s receiving hardware for the iPhone (apologies if there is something like a Griffin adaptor already) you might consider receiving Streamed content from the broadcasters?

Unfortunately when the hard drive died I had to do a lot of manual shifting of things as the service people could only give me a fresh install with the data sitting in folders on the desktop. As time goes by I am getting through all of the little issues. Hmmm, this doesn't sound good to me. From reading above, I take it you did not have a 'Backup' of the Drive before it was corrupted? If the service people have just given you what they recovered from the corrupted drive … and you are trying to copy these files onto the fresh install, there could be corruption in some of the files. Did you create an 'exact' User Account on the Fresh Install as the 'User' you had on the original hard drive? If you didn't, you will run into Permission problems, as you will find the UID GID are not the same. Mac OS X displays the user name of the account that owns a folder or file, it’s easy to assume that that account with that user name owns the item. In reality, it’s not quite so simple. The owner is actually determined by a number called the UID—the user identification number, not by the user name. In addition the group is, in fact, determined by the GID—the group identification number. To reveal your account’s UID and primary GID, type id in a Terminal window (and then press Return). The output of the id command looks like this: ronni$ id uid=501(ronni) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),204(_developer),100(_lpoperator),98(_lpadmin),81(_appserveradm),80(admin),79(_appserverusr),61(localaccounts),12(everyone),401(com.apple.access_screensharing) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Permissions Issues
Hi Ronni Adam, I have been following this with interest I have had to sort out permissions problems in the past, I generally get there in the end, but I still find many aspects of permissions confusing. I am hoping that Ronni could clarify how one area works: I can see how approach A works this is basically just like taking home a new computer and migrating the data over from the old computer. With approach B, however how does the UID get back in sync or does OSX work around that? To elaborate on my query: * It sounds like the old computer was set up with just the primary user account, which would have had the default UID of 501 for the main account this is the account now on the back-up disk that we want to restore. * The technician set-up one main account on the new HD which is therefore also UID 501 but with other details wrong (as per Adam¹s id printout: admins-imac:~ adam3$ id uid=501(adam3) .. * If Adam creates a NEW Administrator Account with exact details of the User Account that he has on the backup drive it will presumably get a UID of 502 (501 is already taken) - so the exact details may be the same but the UID will be different. * When Adam DELETES the OLD Account he is deleting the account currently with UID 501. So this is where I am unclear as to how things proceed: * Would deleting account UID 501 result in the new account getting its UID re-assigned from 502 to 501? or * Would migrating over the OLD account UID 501 result in the new account getting its UID re-assigned from 502 to 501? or * Would the new account retain the UID 502 but the migrated files get their ownership modified to suit this? or * I¹m missing the point, what happens is If the (new) main account has UID 502, would there be any problems at the next migration to a new computer (with main account UID 501)? Ronni, I hope you don¹t mind me jumping in with these questions but I know that many of us find permissions intricacies somewhat confusing. I know I had big problems in the past when I set up a new computer with an account that was ALMOST the same as the old one! (I can¹t remember now whether the short names were the same but the user names different, or vice-versa, or names the same but UIDs different) - I remember it was a painful process sorting it out.
