    Tip: Run Repair Disk Permissions After Today’s Apple Software Updates

    By Christopher Price on March 3, 2009

    Over the past 48 to 72 hours, Apple has issued a lot of updates, for everything from AirPort to RAW support. I just ran Repair Disk Permissions on a couple of Macs that have gotten all those updates beamed down… and there were quite a few permissions glitches. So, be sure to run Repair Disk [...]

    Apple: We’ll Never Fix Time Machine Over AirPort Disk

    By Christopher Price on September 2, 2008

    Apple today confirmed to me, that despite past indications, they will never fix Time Machine over AirPort Disk, when using an AirPort Extreme. This is a stark contrast to Steve Jobs’ own comments when Mac OS X Leopard was unveiled. “AirPort Extreme is the perfect backup solution for Leopard.” His words. Now that Time Capsule [...]

    Weirdest Mac OS X Corruption Yet

    By Christopher Price on August 3, 2008

    I’m just wrapping up an all-day restoration of my MacBook Pro… complete with clean install of Leopard. I was at a lunch the day before, talking up how my MacBook Pro has been running without a hitch, while everyone else was complaining about MacBook failures. I was asking for it… and boy did I get [...]

    AirPort Disk & Time Machine Finally Work!

    By Christopher Price on July 2, 2008

    Yes, that’s right. If you have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n and want to use Time Machine, it looks like you now can. I have successfully backed up my 12-inch PowerBook G4 over Wi-Fi to my AirPort Disk… and then restored the entire backup via Wi-Fi from my AirPort Disk. It took an excruciatingly long time [...]

    AirPort Firmware 7.3.2 – Will it Float Time Machine?

    By Christopher Price on June 30, 2008

    Let the testing begin! Go run AirPort Utility and update your base station (or Time Capsule) to firmware 7.3.2. Now, the question remains (as it has with the past two updates), will this patch fix TIme Machine backups via AirPort Disk? Historical Recap: As you may know, and as I’ve crusaded here… Apple told people [...]

    Not Taking No: AirPort Disk & Time Machine

    By Christopher Price on April 13, 2008

    Okay, so you know my position on AirPort Disk & Time Machine by now… rather than simply saying the configuration is unsupported (after announcing, touting, hindering, neutering, and ultimately enabling a buggy fix… you get the idea, I could link to prior posts for each, but searching works too). Anyways, I realized it’s really a [...]

    Apple Admits Time Machine AirPort Disk Issues

    By Christopher Price on April 7, 2008

    Apple today confirmed what I revealed initially… Time Machine and AirPort Disk may say they play together now… but unfortunately, there are still show-stopping bugs. They weren’t as clear as I was, in fact, they didn’t mention that these were data-loss level issues… simply that the feature is still unsupported. I just wish for one [...]

    AirPort Extreme, Time Machine Finally Play Nice

    By Christopher Price on March 19, 2008

    Go grab AirPort & Time Machine Updates 1.0. It does what I’ve been railing Apple to fix (as well as many others)… and they have. Time Machine backups now succeed on AirPort Disk drives, connected to an AirPort Extreme base station. Enjoy, consumer advocacy in action. Update: There is also a corresponding firmware update for [...]

    Apple Needs to Add Time Machine for AirPort Disk

    By Christopher Price on January 23, 2008

    Apple’s introduction of Time Capsule is great. While switching to the Mac, you can upgrade your router, and have a complete backup solution… it’s a great product for new Mac owners. I think Apple is going to sell these like crazy out of their stores, and it may even generate enough sales to go into [...]

    No CES for Me This Year

    By Christopher Price on January 1, 2008

    Sorry, I won’t be at CES ’08. I didn’t realize that Macworld Expo and CES didn’t overlap this year (it is the first time they haven’t overlapped… that I can remember right now). Not foreseeing that, I already locked in other plans for next week… oh well, hopefully this will stick and I can attend [...]
