Disconnect your USB headset then try inserting your headphones.

To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.

Hi Tim,
If none of the suggestions have corrected the problem, run the Apple Hardware
Test (AHT)
Hold down the D key while starting up.
If you get the Hardware Test screen, select the extended test.
If you don't, the Hardware Test is not resident on your hard drive, and you'll
need to start
Tim,
further to my email earlier today; a sign that the ribbon cable is probably

Is this the first time you have backed up to this WD Drive?
It hasn't been password protected has it?
Try to Unmount the SmartWare CD.
Open Disk Utility
Select the SmartWare CD and Unmount it

Thanks Ronni,
You really need a Paypal donation button.
The Smartware CD unmounts from the desktop as expected, but when trying to
unmount the drive from Disk Utility I get the message:
'Eject Failed. The disk WD My Book could not be unmounted. Make sure that all

You want the drive to mount, not the SmartWare CD so you can use Migration

You have been able to backup to this drive before with TM?

Hi Callum,
Did you correctly eject the TM Firewire backup drive after the TM completed the
backup and then test that the drive mounted and check that TM had done a
complete backup?
What operating system are you running? What format did you partition the FW
Drive in GUID or?

Hi Peter,
As long as the Time Capsule drive doesn't die first; you are good.
Also I am assuming all the MacBooks are complete system backups (not just Users
Home Directory).
Each computer has its own Sparse disk Image bundle (sparsebundle) on the backup
drive.
So you can restore one without

After doing the restore from Snow Leopard to Lion, there will be the same
updating of Mail database, iPhoto library, iTunes etc. The same as when you
upgraded your computer from Snow Leopard to Lion.
Any non- generic applications
Thanks Ronnie, that is all nice to know. Seems I am ok to leave as is.
How do I verify the backups being configured as complete system backups and

Thanks for the link.

that it automates backup (while automatically encrypting your backup) means
it is a lot more secure than other forms of backup. And automated backups
