I have just bought a My Book Live 2 TB yesterday. I want to use Time machine to backup my Mac (yes it’s on Max OS X LION) . I know there is some problem between MBL and OS X Lion, and to fix it, i must update my MBL to the last version. I did that.
My MBL is connected to my wifi router with ethernet cable, and my computer is connected to the router by wifi. In this configuration, impossible to use Time Machine with the MBL. But, if i connect my computer with an ethernet cable to the router all is right and i can use Time Machine.
Is there a solution to use MBL with a comupter running Mac Os X Lion on wifi and using Time Machine ?
I precise that with the wifi, i can access to the configuration page of the MBL and i can use standard sharing.
Thank you for answers.
PS : Sorry for my english… my maternal language is frenche.
I can’t use TimeMachine because the backup part (MyBookLive-backup) of the MBL is not visible when i use Wifi. The Time Machine can’t be launch without disk.
When i plug the ethernet cable, i can see MyBookLive-backup then Time Machin runs fine.
I tried to create a another sharing on the MBL and use it for Time Machin. But Time Machine runs but during the initialisation he does an AFP protocol error.
Maybe my probleme come from my router. this one block the AFP protocol for Wifi. Is see somewhere on the www.wdc.com there is some problem with wifi for some router but there was no other information about this…
I have the exact same problem. Time Machine can find it when the Macbook Pro is connected to the ethernet cable. But the moment it goes on Wifi, poof it disappears.
Looks like it’s an inherent problem for MBL with Time Machine and Wifis then… This is very sad. I thought I bought a superb network drive to store things straight on the air… Looks like I’m wrong.
