THEN INSTALL THE UPDATE VIA THAT UTILITY. SO, YOU MUST-MUST-MUST HAVE THAT PROMISE UTILITY INSTALLED AND THEN 'CHECK FOR UPDATES'. IMG FILE THEY HAVE WON'T WORK UNDER MAVERICKS (APPLE'S NEW PROPRIETARY FILE FORMAT BS AGAIN I SUSPECT).

NEXT ITEM, MAC USERS CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FROM PROMISE AND EXPECT IT TO WORK, THE. Granted, they haven't quite released the fully-functional mavericks (osx 10.9) version yet, but the older one does work in command mode to get reports out of it.ĪFTER THAT, IT WAS NOTED THAT MY FIRMWARE VERSION WAS OUT-OF-DATE, AND IT REQUIRES THE LATEST ONE TO WORK WITH MAVERICKS (PERMISSION ISSUES, SOMETHING I ALREADY SUSPECTED WAS HAPPENING BUT APPLE ERROR MESSAGES ARE GETTING TO BE LIKE MICROSOFT IT SEEMS) I INSTALLED THAT FROM THEIR SITE DOWNLOAD CENTRE, BUT THEY ALSO SENT ME A LINK TO IT. NUMBER ONE PROBLEM: MY IMAC DID NOT HAVE THE PROMISE UTILITY INSTALLED. YAY: finally, kudos to 3 guys at Promise (Jerry, Stephen and Victor) (i hope, but everything seems to be working again, although i did lose all my older backups). SORRY APPLE: there is definitely something screwy between Maverick, Time Machine, and the Promise Pegasus R4. The Pegasus won't eject, open or do anything except sit there with its blue lights glowing solid, OSX says it is still in use. No useful error message: just 'Time Machine cannot use Pegasus." no file error warning, nothing useful. OK, the first-pass Time Machine backup worked, but it FAILED again on the first incremental. the hour isn't up yet, but I'm crossing everything I have 2 of. plist file again, rebooted the iMac, plugged in the R4, reformatted it again with Disk Utility, then hooked it to Time Machine, said a few slightly heretic prayers to whatever demons came with Maverick, and 2 minutes later Time Machine started to backup and report 1 hour to complete. Then I turned off Time Machine, deleleted that. I reintalled Mavericks from a fresh download, yet again, then set Time Machine to backup on a fast USB 3TB drive (which it did in 6 hours or so).
I unplugged the R4, power and thunderbolt, then played whack the gopher with the drives swapping them around randomly. I turned off Time Machine, and deleted that pesky.
but I noticed on other threads that WD drives are also acting up too so this might work with them too. Here's what Promise said about the problem: (complete and exact quote yesterday) "I do not know what the problem is".Īt least for the Promise Pegasus R4. Here's another post from a different thread that shows it working, then suddenly and for no apparent reason, not working (the the files on too). I tried using it for files only too, but I have lost confidence in it.
that pegasus of yours could lockup and make your files broken unexpectedly, and some other threads do report that.
