/images/cactuar/cactuar.gifWell I bought a new unibody Macbook Pro recently to replace my old one, and found that I couldn't get Time Machine to backup to my server.

Even after using

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1



at a commandline I still got "The backup disk image could not be created"


After much hair pulling and googling, I found that it was due to Time Machine calling some AFP functions introduced in Leopard

Problem with this being that my Tiger server doesn't support these functions.

Of course the easy way to fix this was to create the image on my Leopard machine with the following command



hdiutil create -size 90G -fs HFS+J -type SPARSEBUNDLE HOSTNAME_MACCADR.sparsebundle



Obviously replacing HOSTNAME with your machines hostname and replacing MACADDR with your machines mac address for en0 minus the semicolons



Once that was complete all I had to do was copy the resulting image across to my backup drive on the server and it all worked.

/images/cactuar/mobile.pngSo here's the pics from tonight, all moved into one post now instead of like a zillion separate ones.
This was because I was MMSing the pics straight from my iPhone using SwirlyMMS and some MMS library for PHP I picked up somewhere.

Was pretty good tonight but we were standing up FOREVER! and my feet are mega sore.

/images/cactuar/cactuar.gifMacbook Pro now back from repairs (w00t)

Entire top half replaced - new lid, screen everything :D no more nasty gashes on the lid anymore!!!!

Screen is good, still grainy like the old one, but it doesn't have any dead pixels, the original one had a red dead pixel in the bottom left that I only ever noticed when I concentrated on it but it still sucked!

Time to load some stuff on here for entertainment purposes while catching the train to work from now on.

/images/cactuar/cactuar.gifSo my MacbookPro is in getting repaired....

Of late, the backlight has been failing and it's been a gamble turning it on and hoping to be able to see anything.

The service center has had it since last week, now they have had 2 inverters installed both not resolving the issue and have come to the conclusion that the CCFLs in the display itself have failed, so the panel will need to be replaced.

It could be good, and it could also be bad - some macbook pro's have great picture quality while others have a grainy ass picture that you're sure you could sand back the walls and paint your house with, mine was a little grainy so i'm hoping that the new one will not be grainy at all, the topcase was scratched and I know that Apple USA atleast replace the whole top half of the machine when the screen fails because the screen is a sealed unit that's all glued together. so if they replace the screen they might just replace the panel.
It's likely the panel will only be replaced rather than the whole screen assembly so I guess I won't be getting a free lid replacement too :P but a man can dream.

I shall put up with the eMac for a while yet, the LCD is on backorder so I probably won't even have my macbook pro this week, however the bike seems to be running OK at the moment so I guess i'll just preoccupy myself.
