I have a QNAP TS439 Pro Server that is primarily used to store all my files on from my Windows 7 PC. I have recently purchased a MBP 15" and wish to use the server to backup my MBP using TimeMachine. I am accessing it (NAS) using an ethernet hardwired connection. Note. In finder I can see and access the server because I have downloaded all my photographs into iPhoto and also all my songs into iTunes. I have set the server to accept the back up. See below:  When I go to the MBP settings and start the application, I see the NAS and get asked to put in my password. After that I find I cannot logon.    If I try to logon as myself, I cannot get access, and the same if I logon as TMBackup. It returns the error message " The operation could not be completed (OSStatus error 2.) Can anyone please shed any light on this? Last edited by Orchardmead143; 07-17-2011 at 06:00 PM. |

TimeMachine If that in itself does not do it, I'd be shooting an email to QNAP or see if they have a forum. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month Last edited by bobtomay; 07-17-2011 at 09:13 PM. |

Thanks. Yes I will look on their forum, but I do not hold out much hope. Anyway, I used TimeMachine. It asks for a password. I still cannot logon and still get the same error message. Further reading advises that I should set a password in Time Machine preferences. There is nowhere to do this! I have also read through this article..... Mac OS X 10.5: Security tips for using Time Machine over a network The article also advises that a password be set in Time Machine preferences. As far as I can see it is not a QNAP problem as the root of the problem is on the MBP when starting to run the application especially with regards to password requirements. Edited. I went back to basics and started again and using TimeMachine again I reset the password yet again and it worked this time. So not a QNAP or Apple problem, it was my problem. Thanks again.
