Updated compatibility list here : http://www.buffalo-technology.com/knowledgebase/users/kb.php?id=10271?

 

Still no mention of the LS-WTGL though.

Dear All, after four years of being a Buffalo customer and the non-support of Mac OSX Lion I am fed up with Buffalo's reactions.

 

I ordered a Synology 211+ from Amazon and just received it today together with two 2TB hdd's. Believe my, you need to see the GUI and you need to experience the speed of this great device. As soon as the data has been copied I will erase the Quad's four hdd's and sell it at ebay.

 

Best regards and good luck with your backup devices,

André

Anyone on here a Mac Developer ?  I see that 10.7.2 is out, and was wondering if anyone could test that developer release with the problems we are seeting.

 

Heard a rumor Apple may do the vendors' jobs for them.

Regarding this link http://www.buffalo-technology.com/knowledgebase/users/kb.php?id=10271??, I've just noticed the following statement. 

 

 

*Products released before Mac OS 10.7 was launched, and aren't listed below are incompatible with Mac OS 10.7

?It wasn't highlighted - whether it was there earlier I've no idea but this seems to be an official statement from Buffalo .....

So I assume the lack of an answer regarding the LS-WSGL/R1's possibility of receiving a firmware upgrade to be compatible with Lion's TimeMachine is the answer? This product has served me well and unfortunate I have to look for something else, however that's life with technology!

Has anyone downloaded the Lion update (released today) to see if it addresses any of our harddrive issues?

So, I never could get the beta to load. STILL waiting on the load to be tested by Buffalo and formally released to us.

Hmmmm. My link station is running 1.52 and when I search for updates, says I have the latest? I have a LS-wx2.0TL/r1. Which is about 6 months old"

You will have to download the update manually if your unit cannot see the update through the interface.

Ah, there is the fun...I have had no luck downloading the beta either. Wondering, as the customer, why I HAVE to do it manually. The last update came thru automatically.

Can anyone provide a detailed manual install process for dummies? Or should us dummies not be buying the product?

And tell me, why ( the customer) should. Have to go through the convoluted download process to solve Buffalo's problem?

FFS, this post takes the biscuit!

 

So are you saying that you are THAT lazy that you cannot download a file, extract it and run the DMG? O dear!

f you read my previous posts (maybe you can;t read).  Have your Dad read it to you.  I followed the very poor instructions with 1.53 and to no avail (sorry.. big word for you)

 

I'm out of this kids forum!
