How to get rid of uninvited self-starting background processes (eg Adobe and Google updaters) in Lion? I knew how to do it in OSX 10.6, but not clear what to do in Lion. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Nice helpful language. I tried all the solutions suggested by members of this forum and couldn't get any of them to work. Perhaps the problem is unique to the particular NAS server I'm using: it is a MyBookLive made by Western Digital. But I did eventually figure out a way to make the Browse...

When I click on Connect As, nothing happens: no dialog box opens up. t.

You said you could browse to another TM disc but I didn't get that it was a NAS disc. Anyway, when I try to replicate what you've got in your image, I get the attached.

Yes, it works fine. Evidently when I set up Time Machine, it partitioned the NAS Drive, which I named PressOn into two "drives" or partitions or shares. So when I Go - Connect To Server - Browse, I get the result shown in the attached png. I can double click on PressOn to mount it, and then...

Sorry to disagree. So far not a single person has replied saying he/she could Browse Other Time Machine Disks when TM is on a network drive. If it can't be done, then lots of people are deluding themselves thinking that they are protected in case of catastrophic failure. You say you can...

I'm running Time Machine on a Western Digital network storage device from my iMac. It works fine. I can go back any amount of time and recover files as they were backed up then. But I also want to be able to depend on Time Machine backups to allow me to recover files if my iMac goes down. So...

All the boxes were already checked. I still can't mount the TM volume.

Paste is greyed out after I do the copy. Drag and drop doesn't do anything (icon just snaps back to window I'm dragging it from). MacOS seems pretty serious about denying me access to this volume. Time Machine works fine as long as my iMac is OK, but there is apparently no way to retrieve...

All boxes are (and have always been) marked on. Still can't mount the volume.

The available options are Open, Get Info, Copy <diskname>, and Show View Options. Open gives an immediate Connection Failure. GetInfo opens the command-i window for the selected item, Copy does nothing at all (it's just ignored), and view options give view options.

Since I can't access the drive through the finder, I know no way to copy it.

Since I can't mount it, how can I copy it? Since the Western Digital NAS drive has only an ethernet point, how can I connect it via USB or Firewire? Thanks for helping, t.

Time Machine gives me a way to Browse Other Time Machine Disks, a feature that would make it possible for me to use my MacBook to retrieve material backed up by my iMac -- handy in case the iMac went belly-up. But when I try to use the feature, TM on the MacBook tells me that there are no other...

Yes, I can do that. I can see the backup volume. But when I try to mount it, I get an immediate Connection Failure. When I click on Connect As, I get nothing. So how do I mount it?

Thanks, that sounds like what I need to do. However, when I "log onto" my NAS drive (I use Safari bonjour, select the drive and enter my password) I am presented with five options: Setup, Users, Shares, Backups, and Support. None of these shows me the TM dmg file. So how do I mount the TM volume?

I'm running Time Machine to back up my iMac onto a Western Digital network disc. Works like a champ. But if my iMac dies, how do I get access to my backup data? I tried running Time Machine in my laptop so I could option click on its menubar icon to choose Browse Other Time Machine Discs, but...

I see in my Activity Monitor that something called AAM Updates Notifier is running. I believe it has to do with my recent install of Adobe Photoshop CS5.1. But since Photoshop is not running, nor is any other Adobe product, I find it threatening that there is an Adobe process running in my...

No. I have two new macs, one 2009 and the other late 2010, an iMac and a MacBook Air. Neither one can go to sleep when idle for the period set in the energy saver. Problem persists even without any usb attached, even when no user program running.
