[GUIDE] Fix Dashboard Errors 3xxxx

 [ Edited ]
I have seen several requests for an easy to follow guide on how to Factory Restore a MyBookLive when the Dashboard is throwing errors and won't let you do anything, so here it is.

Please note that this guide will not delete any data on your data partition but you will need to follow the steps at the end of the guide to re-link your shares.

1) In a web-browser go to http://mybooklive/UI/ssh and you should see the following. Tick SSH Access Enable



2) If you are a Windows user, download PuTTY from http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
 2a) If you are using a MAC, open Terminal and type ssh root@mybooklive.local and then hit enter and when asked,
       enter welc0me for the password (Continue on to step 5)

3) Open PuTTY and enter mybooklive in the Host Name (or IP address) box and click Open



4) Now we need to enter the login information
type root for the username and hit enter
type welc0me for the password and hit enter
(The password text won't show up in the PuTTY window)



5) Now at the MyBookLive:~# prompt you are gonna type
/usr/local/sbin/factoryRestore.sh noreformat
wait a minute
and then type
reboot



6) Wait for your MyBookLive to reboot and when it does, go to the Dashboard and you should see



7) Factory restore complete and you should now have full dashboard access

If your shares are still listed in the MyBookLive dashboard but are not accessible, rename the shares and then rename them back to get them linked properly again.
EX. Movies > Movies1 > Movies
If your shares are missing in the MyBookLive dashboard, recreate them in the dashboard and you will be able to access your data again
A reboot is required to get the share and drive usage totals to reflect the actual data usage after these changes

YouTube - Boogie Board

Wil je tekenen zonder direct om een batterij verlegen te zijn? Let er wel op dat je geen tekeningen kan opslaan, een vervanger van onnodig papier en memo stickers. YouTube - Boogie Board Update : After talking to an Improv Electronics representative, we’ve confirmed that they are indeed working on a recordable Boogie Board tablet that would utilize flash memory and a USB connection to save and download your work. It would be the same size and model, just with added storage and USB connection. They anticipate having this new version available for sale within the year but will still sell the current base version. Price on this new recordable model would be around $50. Improv Electronics, een dochterbedrijf van Kent Display, heeft onlangs een bijzonder product aangekondigd: het Boogie Board, een soort krijtbord van de 21e eeuw. Het Boogie Board maakt gebruik van een LCD-scherm waarop je, zonder dat daar stroom voor nodig is, kan schrijven en tekenen. Enkel het wissen van de tekst kost ...

Je doet er daarom ook verstandig aan om een virusscanner te installeren. http://www.av.eu/avast_produits_antivirus/avast_antivirus_Edition_Familiale Firewall Een firewall moet ervoor zorgen dat hackers je systeem niet kunnen binnendringen. Ook een firewall is zeker aanbevolen. Als een hacker toegang weet te krijgen tot je computer kan hij veel schade aanrichten. Denk daarbij aan het vernietigen van bestanden, het kopiëren van virussen naar je computer, etcetera. Sommige systemen gebruiken een hardwarematige firewall. In dat geval biedt deze wellicht voldoende bescherming, zodat een installatie van firewall software wellicht niet nodig is. Probeer uit te zoeken of jouw systeem al beschikt over een hardwarematige firewall. http://www.pctools.com/firewall/ In Windows XP zit standaard trouwens ook een firewall.
