Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you just disable afp on the NAS?

Even if there was that option (it's not in the web management tool), that would break the Time Capsule backups.

Oh, and all the settings are the same as the original NAS, which did and still does all of this perfectly--but afp is broken on it, therefore no backups, so that's why I have a replacement.

  • afp://Lucille/Oracle -- server may not exist
  • afp://192.168.1.122/Oracle -- share does not exist on this server
  • afp://192.168.1.122 -- takes me into the BACKUP_BA where Time Capsule is saving backups, I can't access any other shares or directories
  • nfs://Lucille/Oracle -- Problem connecting to the server "Lucille". The share does not exist on the server
  • nfs://Lucille(/) -- Problem connecting to the server "Lucille". The share does not exist on the server
  • nfs://192.168.1.122/Oracle -- There was a problem connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address
  • nfs://192.168.1.122/ -- There was a problem connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address

I can't work out why any of this should be different wired v. wireless, but that's my next test. The test after that will likely involve defenestration of one party or another, at this rate.

So it looks like my much loved dvr/dvd player/burner (from Omnis, thanks Omnis!) will pass through but no longer pick-up the Comcast video signal for broadcast. (I gave up cable.)

Am I right in thinking that one can't find the same in HD/blu ray in the US? I can live without the burner, but I'd like to record broadcast, even in SD.

Or, is there some sort of "component out" on my Smart TV that I'm not seeing (it seems to have out connections for audio only)?

Hey. New board.

ita, I don't really understand why you're getting Read Only, but I will say that Time Machine backups work fine over SMB. I use them all the time. You have to modify some preference in the finder so that Time Machine will show you the volume, but after that it works just as well as over AFP. At least, my current DD-WRT router and external HD over SMB setup works just as well as my old Airport Extreme + external HD setup did.

It's not like I can turn off AFP--just that the main reason they were quick to ship a replacement was that the AFP was dead, leading to no Time Capsule.

If I could get Time Capsule working on the old one without AFP *and* the media service worked, I might even send back the new one, but it would worry me that AFP was just the first domino.

I want a NAS that does everything it says on the box.

I'm offloading a ton o stuff and have rounded up a bunch of obsolete software.

Are there any good things one can do with:

  • Illustrator 8
    • Pagemaker 6.5
    • Toast Titanium 5
    • iLife '06
    • Techtools Pro3.0.6

I've also got a Sharon Stever Step-by-Step book with cd for Illustrator 6.

No local schools are interested, sadly.

eta: I should also mention that I have all the manuals and, in the case of Freehand, Pagemaker and Toast are in original packaging.

Gud, quick question about the Nexus 7. The specs say it doesn't support Adobe Flash, does that mean that I can't play games on it that require flash?

Hmm, that's curious. Just stopped doing it? Has anything changed? Did you add anything to the chain? I wonder if the signal got split, and it's not enough video signal to record? I can't recall if that unit has copy protection. I believe it does. And that might be the problem, in some way.

Sorry Typo, I should have said. I'm all Mac, all the time. So, no Windows versions of anything.
