Time machine backup

2014-03-06 Thread George Cham
I'm still having issues with the time machine backup. The one thing I'm hearing from my external drive, is a clock like sound, when it's backing up. Could this be the end of this drive? George, Sent from my iPad <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please

As promised here are my thoughts on the Bowers & Wilkins a5 AirPlay speaker system, I thought the subject line seemed very appropriate. I've not ever heard such sound out of a unit as compact as the A5 and its truly astounding as to where the bass, midrange and top come from, surely 2 4 inch d

No I hear that as well, on mine it sounds like a rotary phone dialing. If the back up finishes you should be ok. Take care On Mar 6, 2014, at 12:00 AM, George Cham wrote: > I'm still having issues with the time machine backup. > The one thing I'm hearing from my external drive, is a clock lik

I used the Bowers & Wilkins controller App to setup the system just to see how accessible the App was, the only problem is that you need to "Interact" with the setup process, in other words you need to tell the App what colour the status light on the front of the A5 unit is so the App knows exac

Nice nice, at least there's an alternative for the more geeky computer heads that might want to do this, or that have no choice. You are correct in saying in another post that this wireless control thing seems to be the way to go for more and more devices. Take care. On Mar 6, 2014, at 10:06

I'm also glad to see that most of these AirPlay systems are coming with Ethernet Ports that means at least that if you can't figure out how to get the device connected to your Wi-Fi network then you can at least connect it to your Network via a Ethernet cable. I have to report that AirPlay conn

Hello Esther, It’s more expensive than the StandScan Pro power bundle, but would fit into a smaller space, so maybe worth it for the convenience. I e-mailed Sam Jewell this evening to ask how much he would charge for shipping to France, so I’ll pass on the information if he replies to me. Chee
