I'm running OS X 10.6.6 on a 17" MacBook Pro, with an Airport Extreme Base Station. I've hooked up 2 1TB Western Digital My Book external drives to the AEBS via a 4 port USB hub. They work perfectly (even with Time Machine!). Today I attached a WD 40 GB external drive to the AEBS, via the...

In my .bashrc file I have the following function to remove the tabs in a file. The filename (alogt2.pl) is passed in as the $1 parameter. I get the following error: sed: 1: alogt2.pl command a expects \ followed by text function fix_tabs() { if [ -z $1 ] ; then echo echo...

I'm having trouble reformatting a WD 1TB external drive. I'm using Disk Utility, and it gets to the point where it's shrinking the original disk, then just seems to hang for hours. Is there a terminal command, or a utility that I can use to see if anything is actually being done to the disk...

djackmac, Thanks for the quick reply, but I think you are missing my point when you state: "After a certain amount of time, Time Machine either suggests or defaults to creating a new backup. Furthermore the volume only stays mounted while backing up. You can go and manually mount the disk...

I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on a 17" MacBook Pro. For backups, I have a WD 1TB external drive, and I use Time Machine. I don't have Time Machine on all the time, as I don't need backups that frequently. The last successful backup I did was 7/16/10. I attempted to do another backup on 9/20, and...

There is no Home directory on my system, only an alias to /. There is, however, a /Library directory, but it doesn't contain a Recent Servers directory. There is no Recent Servers directory anywhere on the system, so I'm not sure what you're asking me to do..

I have been able to connect to my XP machines from Finder in OS X 10.6.4 with no problem for months. Now I'm getting strange errors. First, when I attempt to connect to server0, I get a connection failed error. Then I click on "Connect As" and a login dialog comes up with the registered users...

I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on a 17" MacBook Pro. I've just replaced my Linksys wireless router because my connection would intermittently drop, and the Apple experts in support found no reason for it on the MBP. My replacement router is an Airport Extreme. Two main reasons I bought it are: 1...

I have a 17" MacBook Pro and a MicroTek X6EL SCSI flatbed scanner. Obviously, there's no SCSI card in a MacBook Pro, so can anyone tell me if there's any way to use a SCSI scanner with a MacBook Pro? I kind of doubt it, but I thought I'd post this anyway, just in case there's some kind of...

I need to be able to mount samba shares and use them from within Terminal. I've searched and experimented all day, and can't get it to work. The latest attempt I made was: peterv@MBP17.local<619>$: pwd /Users/peterv/smb Fri May 14 13:18:02 EDT 2010 ~/smb -> peterv@MBP17.local<620>$...
