Re: Any ideas re email send not working ?
Thanks for your assistance with this email issue folks. But it was all due to silly me !!

Re: Attachments with Ipad
Hi, I just tested forwarding an attachment between my email accounts on my iPad. It works for me, the attachment does get sent and received. Also, I've had no complaints from other people about attachments not arriving. So, it seems something other than your iPad is hindering the attachment going. Could you, for example, try on a different wireless network?

Re: Question re Time Capsule 'path to volume'
Thanks for your help on this Ronni. I followed your suggestions through, and after a few attempts the back up seemed to get through things and all was good. Throwing things back to the group once again, I have a new TC related problem. Following relocation, I'm now on an Optus cable connection. I have an Optus-supplied NETGEAR CVG824G wireless cable modem to connect to the internet. All Macs talk wirelessly to the CVG824G just fine. I've connected the TC to the CVG824G via ethernet cable and the WAN port on the TC. As far as I know, the Macs should be able to back up to it that way. I can see the TC via Airport Utility, a delightful green dot appears next to the TC image. I had an orange dot initially, however I changed 'Connection Sharing' to 'Share a public IP address' from 'Distribute a range of IP addresses' (an overhang from trying to get round a single computer connection in a hotel), and now all seems fine. But ... When I 'Back Up Now' the message my Mac throws up after a couple of minutes is ... Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk is not available. Time Machine Buddy says ... --- Starting standard backup Attempting to mount network destination using URL: afp://myfirstname%mylastn...@time-capsule.local/Data NetAuthConnectToServerSync failed with error: 64 for url: afp://myfirstname%20mylastn...@time-capsule.local/Data Backup failed with error: 19 --- Any clues? Many thanks, Steven On 30/09/2010, at 2:08 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Steven, Thanks for getting back with more information. From what I can gather from the widget error messages, they indicate that what's on your internal HD may not match the hidden File System Event Database that OSX keeps on each disk, and TM normally uses to see what's been changed since the last backup and needs to be copied. Since it is untrustable, TM must examine every directory (folder) on your system, and compare it to your backups, instead. This is, of course, a lengthy procedure. This is usually caused by an improper shutdown, but can be the result of other things, too. And once it occurs, the whole process must be repeated for each unsuccessful backup attempt until one completes normally. If you have had a force power-off, you'll get the UUID problem and TM will do a deep traversal. There's no way around that: it's the only way TM can be sure that all the changes made since your last backup will be saved this time. So, if at all possible, let it run. But Firstly: 1. Exclude the Time Machine Partition from spotlight, via System Preferences Spotlight Privacy. 2. In System Preferences Energy Saver make sure you don't have selected Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible. Probably best to also put Computer Sleep to Never as well. Then try a Time Machine Backup and if possible try not to use the computer too much while this backup is occurring. Don't interrupt the backup, it will take quite a long time to finish. If that doesn't help, note the time one of these backups starts, then use the Console app (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to see if there are other messages indicating a conflict with your backups. When it starts, click Show Log List in the toolbar, then navigate in the sidebar that opens up to your system.log and select it. Navigate to the Starting standard backup message, then see what follows that might indicate some sort of error, failure, termination, exit, etc. Cheers, Ronni On 30/09/2010, at 10:19 AM, Steven Knowles wrote: Thanks all for the suggestions. A litte more detail... Backups of my Macbook Pro (running 10.6.4) have begun failing part way through the back up process. I have a little Time Capsule backup widget which I have on Dashboard (can't recall name of the widget, but it gives a little extra narrative on what's happening during the back up process). A few days ago, when I noticed the back up process not completing, the widget gave the error as something to do with Spotlight. I no longer have the exact error message, but looking the error message up on the web led me to this page ... http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7059555 ... which seemed to be about the problem I was having. The back up error message seemed to tie in with the fact that not long before that there was a Spotlight indexing process underway at a time I had to shutdown my machine, so interrupting the indexing process may not have been helpful. The suggestion of deleting the spotlight directory seems to make sense, and a better option than erasing the Time Capsule (which may end up being necessary if I can't get Time Capsule to index Spotlight again). Regards your questions Ronni ... Have you been able to backup to Time Capsule initially? Yes. Does Time Capsule appear in Disk Utility or in Finder?

Vibrating MBP
Hi Finally received my new MBP (15” i7) on Tuesday. Came with 10.6.3 installed have installed the 10.6.4 combo update and it is great – faster by miles than my late 2008 unibody 15” MBP BUT 1. It has a really annoying vibration that is uncomfortable to work with that is maximal to the right of the track pad – just where your wrist rests when using the key board. I have searched the net and the vibration seems to be an issue for some machines with the 500GB 7200RPM hard disk and many have had their machines replaced due to this. There appears to be no solution but I thought I would check to see if list members had come across this and found a resolution not involving return to sender! Especially as it took so many weeks to arrive. 2. Battery lasts much less than expected, but I am only on its third cycle of discharge recharge so may improve. Regarding battery life it would appear to be related to the automatic switching between video cards and getting stuck on using the NVidia graphics processor with some applications though I have have only been using the web, email and office programs so far. It would seem a firmware update is needed from Apple so you can manually select Nvidia or integrated processor if one wants better battery performance. Again nothing available yet that I can see, any inside knowledge appreciated.

Apple hints at new operating system in invitation to media
Hear the Lion roar?: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/computers/apple-hints-at-new-operating-s ystem-in-invitation-to-media-20101014-16kfq.html Apple is inviting media to its Cupertino, California, headquarters for a Macintosh computer-related event on October 20. Apple is known for its secrecy about upcoming products. The invitation sent Wednesday US time offers no concrete details about the products to be announced. However, it does show an image of Apple's logo opening like a door to reveal a glimpse of a lion. That's a clue that Apple plans to introduce a new version of Mac OS X, the operating system software that runs on the company's desktop and laptop computers. Apple calls its Mac computer operating system updates by names of large cats. The most up-to-date version is Snow Leopard. Previous versions include Leopard, Tiger and Panther. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
