TONYS  Me again. The actual message I get reads:

"You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.001b63a1dcc0” in folder “My Book”. To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info."

Sorry,

TonyS

TONYS  As soon as I installed and configured this app, Time Machine stopped recognizing my external (backup) disk and greets with this message every time I try to choose the backup disk:

"You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.001b63a1dcc0” in folder “ Get Info."

A spotlight search doesn't find this file.

I've tried all I can think of, up uninstalling the program to cure the problem, but no luck. I suppose I'm looking at an Archive and Install of Leopard.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

PETER94  Does not seem to work on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.6. The TMS preference window indicates that it is installed and loaded, but all it does is switch Time Machine to "Off". No backups. Am I missing something?

ROBK  You can also use Lingon to change Time Machine backup times.

SOLEFALD  sorry to bring this up again, but it does not seem to be working....

It says that scheduler is Installed and Loaded, disk mounted, BUT i just checked my TimeMachine disk and looks like the latest backup is from January 4th, the day before i installed new TimeMachineScheduler 2.0

SOLEFALD  for me the Sechdule does not seem to load across reboots. When i start TMS, it says

"installed but not loaded" and i have to hit Load button myself. How do i make it Load automatically?

And are you planning on adding a time frame that is longer than 12 hours?

thanks

STEF@NK  Hi,

the next version of TimeMachineScheduler (which will be released in a few days) will use a launchd daemon

instead of launchd agent. This will solve your reboot problem.

No, I'm not planning to implement intervals greater than 12 hours because this will undermine the purpose of Time Machine's incremental backups

HERVé 5  I am extremely surprised. Two days ago I posted here a quite negative comment, explaining this application adds a serious modification to the system when all is needed is to change one line inside the existing timemachine prefs file.

I then got a reply to my comment stating that everything was plain wrong (a quite despising sentence like "if you had tried what you say you would have seen it doesn't work"), to which I reasonably answered with the url of the MacOSXhint paper describing the safe way in detail. Needless to say, it works on my machine.

Today I discover all my posts have been censored.

I won't re-describe everything, but I am a paid MacUpdate subscriber, and believe me, if this one post is censored again, I'll never put a single cent more into MU.

The OSXhints url FWIW:

FRANCOLA  For me it does not accurately back up in the increments I tell it to, or at least the folders that are created on the backup drive get an incorrect time stamp.

STEF@NK  Hi Francola,

did you press the "apply" button after making your adjustments? TMS doesn't affect timestamps directly, it just calls the same UNIX executable file as the user does choosing the contextual menu item "Back up now" of Time Machine in the dock

FRANCOLA  HI,

Thanks for your reply. Now that you mention it, I don't believe that I did hit apply! I am trying it again now. It was strange though. Without hitting apply the backups were occurring, but at sporadic times. I will right back with the results. Thanks again.

DANA SUTTON  Since the author has no e-mail link on his Web site, let me ask the question here in the hope he will answer. From the documentation it is not clear to me whether I am just to run this application once to set a desired interval, or whether I have to launch and use this every time I reboot my Mac. Please advise.

STEF@NK  Hi Dana,

TimeMachineScheduler is only needed to install/uninstall the scheduler and change the interval.

It's not required to stay open or to be launched at startup.
