I have no idea.. But I'm having same issue, only that when i disconnect and reconnect again, it appears as <name>-2 and -3 and -4 and so on.. So I join you here and ask why? !

Just a side note.. End-of-file error pops up when the file was closed before it finished saving. Happens often, as noted earlier, when saving to shared harddisks. Happened all the time at my ex-work, mostly with Photoshop files... Extremely annoying. To save files on internal hard disk and...

Now I have tried to connect to disk through an USB. And it changes nothing.. I cannot see my external disk on my desktop, nor I can see it in Disk utility. Any suggestions?

How exactly do I mount a shared disk, then?

When I run disk utility, only my own disk pops up there. But I don't know if mounted disks are supposed to be there at all. At any rate, I have repaired permissions; but that doesn't help..

I was thinking of mail provider. For instance, at home I can use both my internet provider's outgoing mail server; and my native gmail outgoing server. At work I must use internet provder's server and nothing else. When it comes to ports Im quite clueless, sorry. When I need to fix the port...

Look it up. If it is, for instance, gmail, google "outgoing server gmail". Also check if outgoing server need authentication. What mail provider are you using?

Does your provider require that you use their outgoing mail server? Have you tried using both provider's and native-to-mail account outgoing server?

How long has it been spinning? I was having same issue when there was a problem with outgoing server. It spins for quite some time. Double-check that you are using the correct outgoing server, to make sure it's the same on all of your computers on the network.

Are you getting any error message?

It sounds to me like you do have a full disk problem.. I remember on classic mac OS you would run defragmentation; but I don't remember for the life of me if 10.4 still has original OS implemented. Have you tried making space on disk (burning some DVDs or dumping files onto external back up...

Have you tried Force-quitting it? Apple menu - force quit - choose firefox and forcequit it..

Does it complain when you try to delete trash or when you try to move your firefox into trash? If the file is locked, you can try emptying your trash while holding option key. If the file wont move into trash because it's in use, I suggest you check your activity monitor and kill firefox process...

Im a hardcore Adobe Creative Suite user, so I would just download a trial of CS.. But I know that many of my friends use Picasa for mashing up photos. You can try it, it's free and can be found here: http://picasa.google.com/mac/

djackmac, I have done that several times, but it just wouldn't go past "preparing". So it really wont work without a cable? :(

Haha, no, I meant I have no wire to plug into that shared disk thingy. The IT guy said that the point of shared disk was so that we can take back up from home. But it seems I will have to get some cables and try to take the initial back up through wires.. I hope it works. That shared beast of a...

Did I say i have no wirless connection? I do have wireless connection. I am able to mount the disk on my computer and read / write files from desktop.

As per right now, wireless connection is not an option. Ask my IT support why. I don't know. I don't think my first backup will take too long seeing that the computer is a few weeks old. Im hoping it can transfer over night. Anyway, is it really nessesary to have a wired connection in...

Didn't work.. :( Here's a step-by-step of what I'm doing: &#8226; (apple-K) connect to server - smb://ip-addy of my shared disk &#8226; Select the volume to mount, where i have read&write access. &#8226; open time machine, switch it on &#8226; select the volume i mounted, press use for backup...
