encountered this problem recently. accidentally unplug my time machine disk without clicking eject, as a result my hard disk got corrupted. leopard is unable to detect my disk and i had to use windows to detect it, download macdrive trial, and format it from there. thinking everything is now fine, i used time machine to do a full 80gb backup, which failed for goodness noes wad reason. so i excluded folder by folder, and soon realise the music folder is the culprit. a full backup can be done by excluding tat folder. so i backup my music to my ipod , delete the entire folder, and did a full backup without excluding any thing. it worked! and i simply used Senuti to restore the music back to my macbook and time machine is now able to back tat up already.

Posting tips on macintosh OS leopard
yo, created this blog for myself and u mac users out there. have been reading daily mac tips such as / tips4mac. its great, but somehow, i really wanted one tat is applicable to me.. as in my 4 year journey in NUS. so i will be posting my own tips here, for myself just in case i forget next time ( and hence able to return here to read them,), or for u guys out there who just need help.
many mac users here in nus got their macs during the orientation week, so they wouldnt have much time to explore tat neat laptop they use for stuff like ivle and so on. so do drop by regularly and i confirm u wun regret it..
now for starters, ALL mac users in nus do refer to this website: zitsengsuperwall. it features VERY useful stuff like logging on to NUS network instead of the insecure NUSOPEN one, setting up apple mail for microsoft exchange, and creating a network drive.
