Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) can't connect with LinkStation (LS-WX2.0TL/R1)

[dirtyhouseboi]

Hey, I tried the fix that was recommended. I also tried manually creating an image and moving it to the folder on my Linstation buffalo linkstation hs-dh320gl? and I gt this error message

 

The backup disk image “/Volumes/backup-1/liamtate.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 45).?

 

Any help with this at all, I really need to be able to back up

I agree, 

 

We should be supplied with replacement hardware as this appears to be a line that is being disconnected. I'm still within the 12 month warranty period, and if there is no fix for Lion, will encourage all small business IT folks that I know to stay away from Buffalo. This is unacceptable.

So, when will we get by the patch and have the GA release?  Seems like Buffalo is moving very SLOW!

Hello,

I have a Tera Station 1 TB Home Server. I saw where a NasNavigator 2 update was released (v 2.40).  The note stated that it would fix the problem of my mac not recognizing my drive.  Unfortuneatly, when I downloaded it and tried to run it I recieved the error messge that the type of server that I am trying to connect to is not supported.  Will there be a fix for this or amy I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

Just to let you know, firmware 1.53beta for my LS-WVL is working great and I have 3 Macbook Air's backing up to it via Time Machine now. Kudos to Buffalo for coming up with the patch so quickly. I do have a Quad on my network though and would appreciate it if you could patch that too.?

Too bad many of us have the older-generation that cannot be updated to 1.53b. I'm having to connect to the server using my old iMac G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

When will the patch be released as GA? I cannot load the patch! When will it be ready and tested?

Dear Buffalo,

 

Any news ? Any updates ? Any feedback ?

 

Things have gone incredibly quiet, and meanwhile there's still no news on when fixes will be available for a number of different drives, including my LS-WTGL.

 

Are you still expecting us to wait until late August/September for fixes ? Are we going to get a fix ? Is there a schedule for the fixes for the unnamed drives ?

FYI, LS-QL models are fetching decent prices on Ebay right now,  could be a good way to roll it over into a new Synology.

2020,

I posted this in the other thread:

And it goes for you too.

We are still working on the fixes and should have alpha releases out shortly.

Did we ever hear if there was going to be a fix for the system that started this thread -- the LinkStation LS-WX2.0?

I think those who have the old Quad and can't get Lion to work should consider upgrading to Buffalo's latest hardware anyway. I've been running a Linkstation Quad since early 2009 and its been very reliable, however its slow as a dog. I got a Linkstation Pro Duo QVL on sale for about USD120 (without drives) and it is so much faster than the Quad, its not funny. In fact, users are saying that its as fast as their local hard drives. Furthermore, 2TB drives are dirt cheap now.

 

Basically there has been a huge jump in price/performance for Buffalo products with the hardware released in the last 6 months or so, while prices have dropped. I did look at QNAP/Synology, but they are more than twice the price. What to do with the Quad? I'm using it as a backup for the Pro Duo. I schedule a NAS-NAS backup once a week and the Quad just wakes up automatically for that day. Otherwise it sleeps for 6 days a week.....

I am STILL just trying to find out if there is a fix planned for the LinkStation LS-WX2.0TL?? I DO NOT use Time Machine, but use the NAS as a Server that everyone in my business accesses. If ANYONE knows what is going on with this specific platform, PLEASE let me know. Thanks to whoever can answer.
