fiteon Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 What error do you have exactly? I don't have the exact error (because I don't have my external drive that I use for backup with me right now). From memory: 1. System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Choose Backup Disk (made sure my External HD was formatted using GUID+Mac OS Extended (Journaled) previous. I also tried MBR & FAT with same result. 2. Choose Backup Disk -> Chose the External HD from the list 3. Turns on Time Machine (counts down to backup). 4. When it begins, an error pops up (FAILED)...doesn't backup. "Unable to Complete Backup. An Error occured while copying files to the backup volume" EDIT: When I get to my HD and try again later, I'm gonna try looking at the 'backupd' log file to see what's causing this....Stay Tuned.

None knows tricks to get this things working? Hello. Welcome to the forum. All the information is detailed on the 1st page (about audio), about sleep/reboot/shutdown. Audio works after you use the DellPackage and repair permissions. Sleep works...Reboot & Shutdown stop working after you use the NVidia drivers (this is a known issue) and there's no fix yet. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loudog3114 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Macgirl - First off, thanks a ton for all the work its helped huge amounts. I have the m1530, and I see that some are able to get sound tow ork consistently but I havent found out how, any idea? Also, my dvdrom drive isnt detected in the os, installation finds it fine. I have a feeling the 1530 uses a sata dvd drive? Anyway, how can I get this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 One way to know if your DVD is SATA is with System Profiler, if at least a conroller is shown there it is bcuase with SATA any drive has its own port, IDE can have 2 port with each controller. Also if you have Windows or Linux installed you an see at Device Manager or the equivalent in Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 If you care to read the 1st post you know that there is no solution, if you have QE/CI you dont have proper Restart/Shutdown, if you have proper Restart/Shutdown you dont have QE/CI.

fiteon Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi macgirl: (great job on managing this long thread BTW...keep up the excellent work!). PROPS TO YOU! Interesting article about 10.5.4. http ://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/06...wn_glitch.html ...can you speculate that this will 'put to rest' the issues surrounding our m1330 systems with shutdown and reboot? What are your thoughts (being the guru that you are)? Thanks again for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well, worth the try, in some bay there is a leak of the first seed, I will make a copy of my Leo installation and try it there...

7oby Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Using SuperHai's . SMBIOSResolver.kext . EHCISleepEnabler . PowerManagement.bundle and . vanilla 10.5.3 kernel and system . AppleACPIPlatform.kext 1.1.0 incl. AppleACPIPowerSource.kext I end up Restart : working Sleep : working Shutdown : not working ---- Some notes regarding 10.5.3 install: I have also made a new kext which subclass the AppleEHCI.kext so you should be able to use it with original kexts with just one modification. EHCISleepEnabler To enable it you have to edit the Info.plist in /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext/Contents/ [... omitted ...] I think in addition it's worthwhile to mention that EHCISleepEnabler goes in here: /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/EHCISleepEnabler That is in contrast to SMBIOSResolver.kext, which goes here: /System/Library/Extensions/SMBIOSResolver.kext Hope this is correct. ---- I tried different AppleACPIPlatform.kext under 10.5.3 using PC-EFI 8.0 and Darwin 9.3.0 vanilla kernel: vanilla 10.5.1 version 1.0.5 build 5 first post under files version 1.1.0 build 18 vanilla 10.5.2 version 1.2.1 build 102 vanilla 10.5.3 version 1.2.1 build 167 In all cases I included AppleACPIPowerSource.kext and changed its Info.plist as well as ACPIPS2Nub/Contents/Info.plist to reflect the correct AppleACPIPlatform.kext version. In the latter two (version 1.2.1) Display Sleep does not work for me. That's a problem for me since I'm using integrated graphics X3100 and those rely on Display Sleep to get the display running. If somebody knows a fix to run more recent AppleACPIPlatform versions, I'd appreciate. I see some related stuff in section "Power Management, SpeedStep and (S3) Sleep" http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=15474 If you're using the Vanilla kext, Energy Saver preferences seem to be only taking effect after a system restart, so if you are having troubles with display sleep, set it to 'Never' and restart your machine to fix any problems. Unfortunately having no display sleep with X3100 is not a solution. -- Even after reinstalling STAC9228_0x83847616.zip and no AppleAzalia.kext in the way, I have not yet Sound running again. Need to test more here. EDIT: In few cases Audio works as expected. In other cases, there is just no sound although audio devices are presend in Preferences / Sound. I had this behavior before in 10.5.1 (not surprising, since the AppleHDA.kext is the same). Haven't figured a systematic approach here. It looks to me running on battery raises the chance of having audio by that may be as well by chance. regards, 7oby System: Dell XPS M1330 having intel integrated X3100 graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macintoshy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi Dell Users, I was happy to use my Vostro1500 with Nvidia 8600M-GT's VGA port with full QE/CI support. Now with 10.5.3 (kalyway, Mysticus...) update it is impossible for me to get full QE/CI support when I use my old com.apple.Boot.plist with device properties for Nvida 8600M-GT and Audio sigmatel 9205 even when i install NVkrush. If I delete device properties entries in my com.boot.plist file QE/CI works fine, but the old problem is there, you cannot use the VGA port because main display stays black. Can anybody give me a hint? Do I have to fix this in NVkush.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpeppir Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hey Macgirl just wanted to say good job on the research, makes me wish I learned more about OSX a long time ago... The only 2 issues, as everyone is having on M1530 my install is Shutdown/Restart w/Nvidia and my sound only works after I wake from sleep mode-- For the sound: I have have tried the switch to headset b4 reboot fix among others including the HDAPatcher(which doesnt do anything after I drag and drop my codec onto the icon; ive tried all versions of that, even deleted extensions.mkext and reset permissions - still no go on HDA Patcher-- but i doubt it'll help anyways as the sound issue is iffy anyways from what I have read so far) Also just wondering, on your OSX 'rig' what installer did you use i.e. - Kalyway, Leo, etc... If there is anything you can point towards for the sound and maybe the restart/shutdown issue (which is going to be a no-go) that would add to the tremendous help youve already given here... Again thanks, you are def an asset to this community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
