Please Help - Mountain Lion Time Machine Not Working
I have had my time maching working for over a year, now after the latest Mountian Lion I can not connect to Time Machine
I have read other posts on this and tried all these.
1) Time Machine is Checked and Enabled to 300 GB
2) Services Discovery Services Bonjour service is Checked and all 3 Advertise are also checked.
3) Standard Protocols AFP & CIFS are checked AFP is advertising on both Bonjour and Apple Talk
4) I have automatic update firmware for NAS it's running latest (4.1.10 - The system is already running the latest firmware)
5) Machine Name is short no spaces
I can successfully mount these
smb://nas
afp://<nas ip>
One thing I noticed is the Mac used to show the shares automatically but now I have to make it connect at login.

- Is your Mac connected to your network via ethernet or wireless?
- Wireless
- If you turn of wireless on your Mac and connect it to your network via ethernet (just to help isolate the cause of the issue) does Time Machine work fine then?
- Yep, it sees it immediately, wireless is a no go :(
- What router are you using? It sounds like either your router is configured incorrectly or it's incompatible with Bonjour advertisements over wireless.
- Its a a90-9100em15-10 Westell from Verizon.
I have full access to the router is there anything I should check? - Is there are setting for Multicasting?
You may wish to take a look at Apple Related Services not Visible over WiFi - There is this, IGMP Multicast to Unicast
I checked it but no diff - Have you tried rebooting the router?
If the router can't be configured to support necessary services it might be time for you to get a new router. - Its showing up now, (not sure why) reboot or the check.
but now getting
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)
Both on wifi and NIC
