Finder fail
I have a back up drive that houses my time machine that un-mounts when I try to access file within. It is not every time but it does happen frequently. Sometimes it quits the finder as well. I have rebuilt fixed prefs started up logged out. Every time I leave the mac to sleep and then awaken it the backup disappears and I get the removal message box come up. 10.6.4 on 24in iMac any thoughts? tom samson -- 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: Finder fail
Hi Tom, Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Disk of the external Time Machine Drive? Disk Utility Repair Drive If Disk Utility finds any errors fixes them, run it again, until it doesn't find any errors. How are you entering Time Machine and Accessing the files ? What are you trying to do with the file … 'Restore' it? Is this the Time Machine Drive you did a 'System Restore' from yesterday?

Free router/Modem
I had to replace my modem with a wireless one, so the old one is available to anyone who wants it It's Netcomm Ethernet/USB ADSLPlus4 (NB1300 PLUS 4) and could be picked up in Nedlands.

WD ShareSpace vs iPhoto Library
Hi WAMUG, Error message: The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported. iTunes is happily residing in the Shared Music folder, the device uses SAMBA as sharing 'system' but iPhoto library won't open, (and yes I ((Foolishly)) have also installed iLife'11 on the same day. and it wants to upgrade the iPhoto library too.) I have tried attaching iPhoto on a known usb HD via WDShareSpace - still not working. You aren't able to reformat the drive as SAMBA is incharge and should talk to a Mac. I have poked around the WesternDigital knowledge base no assistance there. has anyone been able to share there iPhoto Library wirelessly via a WD ShareSpace?

Re: WD ShareSpace vs iPhoto Library
Hi Brian, The WD ShareSpace supports afp as well as smb(CIFS), nfs and ftp - you might have to enable it though. I'd also recommend updating its firmware if you haven't already. This all might be unrelated though. I've been using one for a while - it's not the fastest but it works. Good luck, Chris.
