Re: Time Capsule dilemma
Wow, A wealth of information. THANK YOU so much. The TC 2TB is looking good...

Never rely on just Time Machine, or any one form of backup. Have a Backup Strategy which involves ‘three parts’, Archives, ‘bootable’ backups, and keeping ‘off Site’ backups. If you wish at any time to have a copy of ‘My Backup Strategy’, I can email it to you ‘offlist’. Now, onto your dilemma: I’m sorry that your TC has died, but eventually they do, and the first model sooner than later models. But I would certainly recommend purchasing one of the latest 2TB or 3TB TC. My current Time Capsule is the Model before the current, a 1TB Dual-Band Gigabit Ethernet, Dec.2009 still going excellently well, ( but, I am ’thinking’ of purchasing a new 2 or 3TB TC in the near future). A) Can I retrieve our data from the TC? “If” the Internal Drive is OK, yes you can retrieve your data from TC. 1) First you need to crack it open - Cracking Open the Time Capsule | Applefritter - this is a decent guide. 2) Get some sort of SATA drive docking solution. One with the firewire interface NewerTech® - Voyager Q ldquo;Quad Interfacerdquo; FireWire® 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA - SATA I/II Hard Drive Docking Solution 3) Mount your drive in the drive dock and you'll notice that you still can't access your data due to lack of privileges. 4) Enable root user access on your Mac. The process is different between Leopard and Snow Leopard. In Leopard, all you need to do is go into Directory Utility which is located in the Utilities Folder. In Snow Leopard, you have to enable it via, System Preferences/Accounts/Login Options/Network Account Server:Join then you can Open Directory Utility. Make sure you unlock Directory Utility and click Edit to Enable Root User. 5) Log out and log back in as root (with whatever password you nominated). You should now have access to your Time Capsule's data. 6) It's probably not a bad idea to disable your root user access once all this is done too. B) Is the TC repairable? Possibly, but would the cost be worth it? If it was me, I would get my data off the TC (if possible) and purchase a new 3TB or 2TB TC) There is a guy in Sydney that has repaired TCs. I did have an address somewhere, but unable to locate it at the moment ... (ok Daniel, we all know my filing system on my MBP is not good … my Backup Strategy is though ;-)! http://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modems/apple-time-capsule-repair/repair-type3 http://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modems/apple-time-capsule-repair C) Would I be insane to consider buying another TC? Is the current generation of TC sorted, or is the previous fault an inherent design issue? I think I’ve already answered this query. The current generation of Time Capsule are improved. They do have more ‘room to breath’. The Time Capsules also include a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, as well as a USB port for connecting a printer or external drive. The Time Capsules are MUCH more than just a Time Machine backup drive … The new Time Capsules still use the 802.11n Wi-Fi networking standard, with dual-band operation available for 802.11b/g devices like the iPhone and iPod touch. My iPad connects to 5GHz. http://www.apple.com/au/timecapsule/ Contact Daniel Kerr of MacWizardry for a price on a new TC … I will be soon ;-) D) Am I better off to buy a different external hard-drive system? You do need to put in place a much better Backup Plan, a good Backup Strategy, that will not let you get into this position again. At least cut down the chances of loosing all your Data. Best of luck.

Re: Scam with .zip file I haven't seen before

Thanks for that , Paul but he has long since stopped chewing things, That was when he was just a young thing.

60% of undergrad PC purchases are Macs. iPad users score 25% higher
Apple is on a roll in education. Apple's (AAPL) share of computer purchases within the last three months spiked to 60%, up from 38% last year Students with iPads score 25% better http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/09/19/survey-60-of-undergrad-pc-purchases-are-macs/?section=magazines_fortuneutm_source=feedburnerutm_medium=feedutm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fmagazines_fortune+%28Fortune+Magazine%29 In one study, students who annotated text on their iPads scored 25% higher on questions regarding information transfer than their paper-based peers. In a separate project covering iPad usage patterns, two researchers studying ACU's first all-digital class discovered that the iPad promotes learning moments and helps students make more efficient use of their time. Grad students working in an online program reported a 95% satisfaction rate for online iPad-based coursework. http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/18/ipad-enabled-students-get-performance-boost-says-acu-study/ -Mart -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug
