HP MediaSmart issue with Snow Leopard

I forgot to mention that one of the reasons I had to reinstall OSX several times was to try to access my time machine off of the HP MediaSmart.  After speaking with HP’s tech support, it was suggested the problem had something to do with the newest Leopard (and subsequently Snow Leopard) doing something that HP’s software didn’t like.  This was a bit odd, as I was at one point able to install the HP software with Leopard 10.5.5 (I think).

Anyway, if anyone runs into a problem where they can’t connect to the time machine using HP’s software, this will resolve the issue:

  1. Using Remote Desktop (from Microsoft)…
  2. Go to the /Mac directory
  3. Copy the —-.macbackup file into an accessible directory (I used my user directory)
  4. Rename the file —-.dmg
  5. Close Remote Desktop connection
  6. Now open the dmg file to mount the file and it should be a sufficient work-around if you’re unable to get to the files in it otherwise.

here we go again (re-re-re-reinstalling OSX)

Because I didn’t read this Friday I ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard and Leopard each about 2-3 times, and now I’m re-re-re-installing OSX.  Chronicling the process once again:

2009-09-06

23:00 installed OSX. MacPorts & QuickSilver were the first to be installed, and immediately disabled Spotlight.

23:30 Firefox, Thunderbird (haven’t decided if I’d use this), WebKit, VLC, Google notifier, console fonts, iphone SDK+xcode were next

2009-09-07

08:50 downloaded my dev folder from Richard’s dev machine. coudln’t untar my App folder, probably privacy issue, oh well.

09:00 Adium

09:30 Transmission, Handbrake - I always get these two confused. Good thing I drive automatic.

10:00 MacVim

10:30 Aptana

11:30 sudo port install git-core +svn (took forEVER!)

12:00 installed Opera (for Alex’s facebook)

12:30 sudo port install mysql5-server-devel (also taking forever)

12:50 sudo port install mongrel

13:00 off to IHOP!

14:00 back!

14:30 sudo env ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386” (not sure if this is necessary)

14:31 sudo gem install mysql — —with-mysql-config=/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 (Hmm that’s not working!)

14:35 sudo port install rb-rubygems

14:40 Walmart run!

15:30 replaced bike tire tube

15:40 sudo port install rvm (just for the hell of it)

15:55 sudo gem install rubygems-update

16:00 sudo port install rb-rail

20:00 ok after tackling this and goofing off, figured out I needed to set up launchd and restart the machine, now mysql seems to be working.

21:20 done with dinner… I think I’m done now. messing around with vim colors now
