OSStatus error 2
I have an NV+v2 with 2 x 2TB Seagate drives, and running the latest firmware. I am running the latest version of Mac OSX 10.8.4.
On the NV+v2 I have implemented TimeMachine, and I have allocated 1.3TB for TimeMachine backup space.
On my Mac Mini, however, on opening TimeMachine preferences, and selecting the ReadyNAS all I get is...
"Time Machine can’t access the backup disk “ReadyNAS”.The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)".
This happens when I log-on as either a 'Guest' or 'Registered User'.
I have even performed a factory reset on my ReadyNAS and started again from scratch, but the problem persists.
Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.

- 1.3GB? Do you mean 1.3TB? 1.3GB is nowhere near enough.
- Yes, you're right - typo...
...but the problem still remains. - Never mind: just solved the problem.
Stupid me: TimeMachine required the name/password from the TimeMachine pane on the ReadyNAS (not the ReadyNAS log-on details).
Duh!Hi,
I'm having the same problrem after a clean install of yosemite and I can't access timemachine with the same error. What other password than the one I use for Radiator am I supposed to give?
I can access the disks via Finder as admin but eventhough the disk shows to be full, I get a blank page and nothing else.
I appreciate any help
Thanks
- Glad you've solved it. Was just about to ask about whether you'd used the right credentials.
