Posted on by

With the transition from MobileMe to iCloud some valued service are dropped. The one I’ll miss the most is the keychain sync between all the machines. That frankly was the reason in the first place, why I bought MobileMe. But a good friend of mine felt the same pain and created a perfect replacement, which is called Keychain2Go.

Location based services needs to be switched on

Location based services needs to be switched on

Inspired by the question in the http://fanbóys.org/ podcast, I will write down, what I have up and running for over two years now.

Goal: Have a background method running, which collects your location during the day and displays it on a map and has some export functionality.

Ingredients: An Apple iPhone, an Apple ID, activated Find My iPhone, a LAMP system and additional Google Maps. Continue reading →

Buffalo Terastation not mounting under Lion [Update3]

Posted on by
8

The access to an access limit folder by the AFP is not possible. Time Machine backup is not possible
Firmware update for improvement is planned.

My workaround is to mount it via SMB.

Source: http://www.buffalo-technology.com/knowledgebase/users/kb.php?id=10271&category_id=0&sid2=

[Update] See also (in german): Heise.de Praxistipps zu Lion

[Update 2] Here is a workaround on the support pages from Apple. 

Lion and Lion Server maintains a list of authentication methods that are not allowed. These are the older, less secure authentication methods. You may need to enable one or more of these methods to support legacy devices or protocols.

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Execute the following commands: 
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1


  3. Restart the computer.
  4. For an AFP connection, on the client make an AFP connection to another system so that the AFP Client preference file will be filled in with the default set of values.If you want to enable a different User Authentication Method (UAM), execute the apprpriate Terminal command on the client system. For example, this command enables DHCAST128 by removing it from the list of disabled methods: 
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"


Additional Information

To see a list of the disabled User Authentication Methods (UAM), run the following command in Terminal on the client:

 

defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams


 Typically, the disabled UAMs  are “Cleartxt Passwrd”, “MS2.0″, “2-Way Randnum exchange”, and DHCAST128.

To enable one of these UAMs, the list of disallowed methods needs to not list the UAM that you want to exclude.

[Update3] Buffalo released some beta firmware updates. See Compatible devices
