Time Machine with Network drive

Problem:

Every time you shut down your Mac, you lose your connection to a network drive.

Solution:

Preferences->Accounts->Login Items and adding the icon of your already mounted network volume. Mac OSX will mount it every time you log in.

1. Mount your network drive (check step-5 if you are getting error in mounting)

2. Change the preferences by running following command (open iTerm or other shell)
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

3. Now activate the time machine

4. You will now be able to select your network drive.

5. In case, you loose your network mount, you will need to reset the preference set in step-2, by running following command (open iTerm or other shell)
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 0

Launching Adobe products on Mac OS X after system upgrade, migration or restore, results in error “Licensing for this product has stopped working”

Solution 1: Delete the FLEXnet Publisher folder

1. Quit all Adobe applications.
2. On your startup disk locate and delete the following folder:
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher
3. Launch your Adobe application(s).

Note: There is also a folder named FLEXnet Publisher folder in the /Library/Application Support folder. You must not rename this one; all of your Adobe applications will stop working. Make sure you are in the /Library/Preferences folder.

This worked fine for me!
