Access Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8's Time Machine backups from non-Apple Mac machines?
Hello.
Is it possible to access an external USB HDD's data, that is used for
Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8's Time Machine backups, on non-Apple Mac machines
(Windows and Linux)? Or can it be only be accessed with a Mac? I use
multiple computers and OSes.
Thank you in advance. :)

IIRC Time Capsules backup inside a sparsebundle, so you'll need to be able to mount those as well in that particular case. Otherwise TM backups to a regular external HD like yours are just files in folders, when viewed from other OSes. Note if you've backed anything up with a resource fork (rare nowadays), you'll destroy it if you copy it over to a FAT or NTFS disk. -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Thanks. I don't know what resource fork is. Are you saying copying
folders/directories and files to FAT and NTFS drives would mess them up? :(

I don't know what resource fork is. Are you saying copying > folders/directories and files to FAT and NTFS drives would mess them up? :( If they've a resource fork <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork>, yes. But few OSX apps or documents use them any more, as resource forks are a legacy technology brought over from classic MacOS days. Instead the OSX way is to use bundles - folders with an extension that means they're displayed as a single file in OSX (unless you right click and go "Show package contents"), but show up as a folder full of other files and folders (the parts that make up the app or document) when viewed in another OS. So you'll probably be ok unless you've older apps (and the documents they produce) from the early days of OSX, or the few that cling to using resource forks. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's just something to be aware of, if for example you're an old time Mac user like myself, with apps ported over with very little if any change shortly after OSX arrived on the scene, and documents I still access that date back to the 90's :-) -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Oldest Mac OS X applications I can think of are from 2008 (v10.5) so I
think I am OK. :)

If you are seeing them on Windows, then both filename and ._filename came from Mac. And if they came from your Mac, you DO have resource forks. And the fact that you see them both shows that the resource fork was not destroyed by putting it on NTFS (or FAT, if it's a very ancient Windows). However, if you copy filename back to the Mac without ._filename, then you will have lost something. One place I know where resource forks are still used, is for holding preview images for graphics files. Allows you to see a miniature version of the image in Finder. I have to go through and delete them all before updating the images directory on my website. Up there, they waste space because I'm not using Finder there. -- Wes Groleau Nutrition for Blokes: Re-engineering your diet for life http://www.phlaunt.com/quentin

Is it bad to delete those files? I wasn't sure to keep them or not. It's
like Windows' thumbnail.db files.

Not just the resource fork, also the Finder information, which includes
the filetype and creator codes.
When Mac OS X stores a file on a non-Mac file system, it uses
AppleDouble format, which splits the Mac file into two parts. The data
fork ("normal" content portion of a document) is saved under the name of
the file, and all other parts of the file are saved in ._filename,
structured with AppleDouble header information to identify the various
parts. It might include a resource fork, Finder information, and
potentially other things.
The ._filename part is not created if it wouldn't contain anything
useful, e.g. a file with no type/creator codes and no resource fork.
If the file has a custom file type and no resource fork, that will be
sufficient to require creation of a ._filename part.
The most common reason for having a resource fork in recent versions of
Mac OS X is if the file has a custom icon. They were more common back in
the PowerPC era, as they were a required part of applications on Mac OS
9 and earlier, and sometimes used on documents.

Hi. Someone told me that Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x do not come with iLife like the older Mac OS X versions (e.g., 10.5.x). I did not know this! Since my client uses iPhoto that came preinstalled on his old 2008 MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.5.x (10.5.8 right now), can he use the old one from 10.5.8? Or will he need a third party replacement (needs to import/copy the old image files) or buy a new iPhoto version for his photo(graph)s?

3/Three usability issues in Mac OS X 10.8.5: Re(storing/covering) huge files from its Trash bin, renamed Time Machine's disk drive, and bring back Finder's sidebar external USB HDD icons?
Hi again. I just ran into a weird/an odd usability issue that bugged me in an updated Mac OS X 10.8.5 earlier: I tossed a huge 4.5 GB folder into Mac OS X 10.8.5's Trash bin. I decided to restore it back to the same exact place by dragging the folder back to the same place in Finder. However, it did a copy. Shouldn't it be a move? Isn't there a restore to the back place option? 2. I renamed an external HDD's name that was used for Time Machine (TM) back up. When I went to back up, it told me it couldn't. So, I looked at TM settings. I noticed it was looking for the old name even though it was the same exact disk. I told it to reuse the renamed disk to resume. Why is it that picky on my renamed disk drive? 3. Also, how do I get back Finder's sidebar icon for mounted external USB HDD? I accidently removed it. Unmounting and remounting doesn't make it come back.

MAC Defender variant quickly thwarts Apple's Mac OS X security update
http://bit.ly/msgDE0 MAC Defender variant quickly thwarts Apple's Mac OS X security update By AppleInsider Staff Published: 03:55 PM EST A day after Apple released a security update for Mac OS X to address the "MAC Defender" malware, a new variant of the bogus antivirus software has been spotted in the wild. As first reported by Ed Bott at ZDNet, the new variation of MAC Defender, named "Mdinstall.pkg," has been crafted to bypass the new malware-blocking code made available by Apple. That update for Mac OS X, Security Update 2011-003, was released on Tuesday. "The file has a date and time stamp from last night at 9:24PM Pacific time," Bott wrote. That's less than 8 hours after Apple's security update was released. On a test system using Safari with default settings, it behaved exactly as before, beginning the installation process with no password required. "As PC virus experts know, this cat-and-mouse game can go on indefinitely. Your move, Apple." Security Update 2011-003 included changes to the File Quarantine feature found in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It includes anti-malware definitions within the operating system itself, and examines external files downloaded within Mail, iChat, Safari, or other quarantine-aware applications. The MACDefender malware first gained attention in early May, when it was spotted by an antivirus company. The program automatically download...
Can't find a scanner driver old Mac OS X 10.5.8 with a HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one machine?
Hello. I have a client's old 15" MacBook Pro, from 2008, that has the updated Mac OS X 10.5.8. His HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one machine (USB) works fine for printing, but scanning is a problem. Image Capture v4.0 does not detect this connected HP OfficeJet 6110 due to lack of TWAIN driver. I looked for the latest driver on HP.com web site, but it said to use the one supplied from Mac OS X 10.5 which is already is used as 6100 series. According to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01234231&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=79477&sw_lang= , it says "... Scanning is no longer supported when using Mac OS v10.5 with the following products: ... HP Officejet 6100 series". That stinks. :( So, is there a third party driver or a way to use this old HP OfficeJet's scanner for Mac OS X 10.5.8? I know its scanning works with his very old Dell Optiplex PC with updated Windows 2000 SP4 with its HP drivers and software package. Thank you in advance. :) -- "We're all ants.

Mac OS X 10.8.5's App Store v1.2.2 (129.16) does not see the updated iTunes v11.3?
Hello. I noticed there is a newer iTunes at v11.3, but for some reason my Mac OS X 10.8.5's AppStore v1.2.2 (129.16) does not see it. However, iTunes v11.2.2 (64-bit; 3) detected an update and offered me to get it (went to App Store which doesn't see it)? What's up? My Mac OS X 10.7.5 and 10.9.4 machines did not have this problem.

Any catches on restoring from an old Mac OS X v10.8.5 Time Machine HDD backup to new SSD on a 13.3" MacBook Pro (9,2; MD102ll/A)?
Hello. It looks like I'll be helping my client get a SSD to replace his dying, dropped HDD, in his 13.3" MacBook Pro (9,2; MD102ll/A) soon. Since he still has his Mac OS X v10.8.5's Time Machine's HDD backup, I assume it is straight easy to restore like I did yesterday (took about three hours to finish) from a bigger HDD to a smaller SSD? Or will I run into issues that I don't know about?

How to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8's Safari?
Hello. I noticed Apple never released an update to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8 since I have all updates. I was able to tell Keychain to untrust it from http://fairerplatform.com/2011/09/how-to-disable-diginotar-ssl-certificate/article, but it won't let me delete it.

Backup versus/vs. Sync in Mac OS X 10.8.3's iTunes with an iPhone 4S?
Hello. Are iTunes' backup and sync with an iPhone 4S, two different things? I noticed last night, backing up did not copy iPhone 4S' data to MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.8.3 softwares. However, Sync did. I thought they were the same like Sync only synchronize and backups did full iPhone backups with personal data to MacBook Pro. Note that iTunes is configured to not to overwrite iPhone's datas since updating/editing/creating on MacBook Pro is very rare.

Darwin flaws survive in Apple's Mac OS X
http://news.cnet.com/Darwin-flaws-survive-in-Apples-Mac-OS-X/2100-1002_3-5540955.html January 18, 2005 5:40 PM PST Darwin flaws survive in Apple's Mac OS X By Robert Lemos Staff Writer, CNET News A source-code audit of the open-source operating system from which Apple Computer borrowed much of the code for Mac OS X revealed four vulnerabilities of varying severity in Apple's software, a security company said Monday. The flaws in Darwin affect Mac OS X version 10.3--dubbed Panther--and are caused by memory errors in the kernel, according to an advisory released by ImmunitySec, the security company that found the flaws. "In terms of criticalness, this kind of bug mostly affects remote systems with multiple users," said David Aitel, founder and security consultant with ImmunitySec, adding that since Mac OS X is most often used on the desktop, the flaws will not be overly important on most people's systems. The company originally found the flaws in June and published them to a private list of customers but did not notify Apple. It published the flaws on Monday, after presenting them at a seminar. Apple confirmed that it had not been told of the flaws and said it was analyzing the vulnerabilities but would not elaborate. ImmunitySec found the flaws by analyzing the publicly available source code of the Darwin operating system, which implements a variant of Unix known as BSD. Darwin forms the core of Apple's modern Mac OS X operating syst...
Hi. Someone told me that Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x do not come with iLife like the older Mac OS X versions (e.g., 10.5.x). I did not know this! Since my client uses iPhoto that came preinstalled on his old 2008 MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.5.x (10.5.8 right now), can he use the old one from 10.5.8? Or will he need a third party replacement (needs to import/copy the old image files) or buy a new iPhoto version for his photo(graph)s? I recalled he did not like iPhoto and wonder if the new one is any better.

3/Three usability issues in Mac OS X 10.8.5: Re(storing/covering) huge files from its Trash bin, renamed Time Machine's disk drive, and bring back Finder's sidebar external USB HDD icons?
Hi again. I just ran into a weird/an odd usability issue that bugged me in an updated Mac OS X 10.8.5 earlier: I tossed a huge 4.5 GB folder into Mac OS X 10.8.5's Trash bin. I decided to restore it back to the same exact place by dragging the folder back to the same place in Finder. However, it did a copy. Shouldn't it be a move? Isn't there a restore to the back place option? 2. I renamed an external HDD's name that was used for Time Machine (TM) back up. When I went to back up, it told me it couldn't. So, I looked at TM settings. I noticed it was looking for the old name even though it was the same exact disk. I told it to reuse the renamed disk to resume. Why is it that picky on my renamed disk drive? 3. Also, how do I get back Finder's sidebar icon for mounted external USB HDD? I accidently removed it. Unmounting and remounting doesn't make it come back.

MAC Defender variant quickly thwarts Apple's Mac OS X security update
http://bit.ly/msgDE0 MAC Defender variant quickly thwarts Apple's Mac OS X security update By AppleInsider Staff Published: 03:55 PM EST A day after Apple released a security update for Mac OS X to address the "MAC Defender" malware, a new variant of the bogus antivirus software has been spotted in the wild. As first reported by Ed Bott at ZDNet, the new variation of MAC Defender, named "Mdinstall.pkg," has been crafted to bypass the new malware-blocking code made available by Apple. That update for Mac OS X, Security Update 2011-003, was released on Tuesday. "The file has a date and time stamp from last night at 9:24PM Pacific time," Bott wrote. That's less than 8 hours after Apple's security update was released. On a test system using Safari with default settings, it behaved exactly as before, beginning the installation process with no password required. "As PC virus experts know, this cat-and-mouse game can go on indefinitely. Your move, Apple." Security Update 2011-003 included changes to the File Quarantine feature found in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It includes anti-malware definitions within the operating system itself, and examines external files downloaded within Mail, iChat, Safari, or other quarantine-aware applications. The MACDefender malware first gained attention in early May, when it was spotted by an antivirus company. The program automatically download...
Can't find a scanner driver old Mac OS X 10.5.8 with a HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one machine?
Hello. I have a client's old 15" MacBook Pro, from 2008, that has the updated Mac OS X 10.5.8. His HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one machine (USB) works fine for printing, but scanning is a problem. Image Capture v4.0 does not detect this connected HP OfficeJet 6110 due to lack of TWAIN driver. I looked for the latest driver on HP.com web site, but it said to use the one supplied from Mac OS X 10.5 which is already is used as 6100 series. According to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01234231&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=79477&sw_lang= , it says "... Scanning is no longer supported when using Mac OS v10.5 with the following products: ... HP Officejet 6100 series". That stinks. :( So, is there a third party driver or a way to use this old HP OfficeJet's scanner for Mac OS X 10.5.8? I know its scanning works with his very old Dell Optiplex PC with updated Windows 2000 SP4 with its HP drivers and software package. Thank you in advance. :) -- "We're all ants.

Any catches on restoring from an old Mac OS X v10.8.5 Time Machine HDD backup to new SSD on a 13.3" MacBook Pro (9,2; MD102ll/A)?
Hello. It looks like I'll be helping my client get a SSD to replace his dying, dropped HDD, in his 13.3" MacBook Pro (9,2; MD102ll/A) soon. Since he still has his Mac OS X v10.8.5's Time Machine's HDD backup, I assume it is straight easy to restore like I did yesterday (took about three hours to finish) from a bigger HDD to a smaller SSD? Or will I run into issues that I don't know about? Thank you in advance. :) -- Quote of the Week: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant b...
How come Mac OS X 10.5's Software Update doesn't show a total time ETA and size?
Hello. I noticed when downloading big updates from Mac OS X 10.5's Software Update, it doesn't show the TOTAL time left and size. It only shows the individual updates (e.g., iTunes). Is there a way to show the totals especially when downloading takes forever?

How to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8's Safari?
Hello. I noticed Apple never released an update to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8 since I have all updates. I was able to tell Keychain to untrust it from http://fairerplatform.com/2011/09/how-to-disable-diginotar-ssl-certificate/article, but it won't let me delete it. Mac OS X just beeps at me when I hit delete key on this Intel MacBook Pro (from October 2008). I tried dragging it to the trash can, but that didn't do anything. Am I missing something? I did unlock this Keychain screen and was able to untrust. Thank you in advance. :) -- "Busy as ants hurrying...

Backup versus/vs. Sync in Mac OS X 10.8.3's iTunes with an iPhone 4S?
Hello. Are iTunes' backup and sync with an iPhone 4S, two different things? I noticed last night, backing up did not copy iPhone 4S' data to MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.8.3 softwares. However, Sync did. I thought they were the same like Sync only synchronize and backups did full iPhone backups with personal data to MacBook Pro. Note that iTunes is configured to not to overwrite iPhone's datas since updating/editing/creating on MacBook Pro is very rare.

Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)'s App Store v1.3 (201)'s "Updates installed ..." section.
Hello. I have a couple questions with the new Mavericks OS (clean install): 1. Is there a way to hide this "Updates Installed In The Last 30 Days" section? It keeps confusing me that these are new updates available to download and install until I read the section's title. :P I like how Windows does its update history hidden at first and then I can view them when I want to. 2. Is there a way to show more than 30 days when Mavericks' release is over 30 days old?

It's a Mac, Mac, Mac World
I wonder how the Windows users would like my (ab)normal Microsoft-free world: My business: all Mac, no PCs. My dentist, family physician and urologist are all Mac. No PCs. Went to Sir Speedy today for more bus. cards and some binding: all Mac (no surprise there). My daughter's three new college room mates have emailed her. Two have PowerBooks and one has an eMac. (She has a G5 iMac.) I never even see a PC unless I am at the public library or a store using a Windows POS unit. It never was intentional. I don't scout a place to see what frickin' computer they use. Just happened. Kind of weird. -- Arf! Old CSMAer Nice! At work I'm stuck on Windows, plus at home my roommate and girlfrield both use Windows. Good thing is I have my ibook at work and both my roommate and gf are getting Macs after their Dell's are paid off.

Darwin flaws survive in Apple's Mac OS X
http://news.cnet.com/Darwin-flaws-survive-in-Apples-Mac-OS-X/2100-1002_3-5540955.html January 18, 2005 5:40 PM PST Darwin flaws survive in Apple's Mac OS X By Robert Lemos Staff Writer, CNET News A source-code audit of the open-source operating system from which Apple Computer borrowed much of the code for Mac OS X revealed four vulnerabilities of varying severity in Apple's software, a security company said Monday. The flaws in Darwin affect Mac OS X version 10.3--dubbed Panther--and are caused by memory errors in the kernel, according to an advisory released by ImmunitySec, the security company that found the flaws. "In terms of criticalness, this kind of bug mostly affects remote systems with multiple users," said David Aitel, founder and security consultant with ImmunitySec, adding that since Mac OS X is most often used on the desktop, the flaws will not be overly important on most people's systems. The company originally found the flaws in June and published them to a private list of customers but did not notify Apple. It published the flaws on Monday, after presenting them at a seminar. Apple confirmed that it had not been told of the flaws and said it was analyzing the vulnerabilities but would not elaborate. ImmunitySec found the flaws by analyzing the publicly available source code of the Darwin operating system, which implements a variant of Unix known as BSD. Darwin forms the core of Apple's modern Mac OS X operating syst...
