How do i install and use the lacie hard disk

i bought the 1TB Lacie Rugged Hard Drive because I have run out of disk space on my Mac desktop. Once I plug it in, I can't seem to format it for the Mac and then use it to transfer my iPhoto library from my desktop to the Lacie Hard drive. Please help! Thanks.

I went into Disk Utility and into Erase and selected Mac OS Journaled and hit "Erase" (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if the LaCie drive has multiple partitions on it. Sometimes they have a utiliy partition that I like to remove.
Then when asked whether I wanted to use Time Machine to back up everything on my Mac, I hit "yes". (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if you didn't want TimeMachine to use it.
So now the Lacie image on my desktop has turned from orange to green (Time Machine?) and is backing up 700,000 things. . .I just want to free up space on my Mac so I was thinking of moving my iPhoto library from my Mac over to the Lacie Hard Drive. Will I be able to still do that, given what I just did above? If so, do I just drag the iPhoto library icon onto the green (Time Machine?) icon on my desktop?
... if the LaCie has enough space this should be fine. You might run into problems later when TimeMachine starts to fill up your drive; iPhoto might start giving you errors if there isn't enough freespace.

How to install and use the Gnome-DO application in oracle enterprise Linux

My Oracle Enterprise linux is 5.3,
I want to install and use the Gnome-Do(http://do.davebsd.com) in my box.
Please help me regarding this.
With Regards

According to Google, Gnome-Do has known issues about CPU bugs and hogs and the latest incarnation does not seem to be available for RHEL and clones. You should have more luck with Linux Desktop distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Or you could try to build from source using the info at: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Installing_Do. Good luck - I wouldn't bother.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...

Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

How do I import and use the Keynote themes that I've downloaded?

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I searched this forum & didn't immediately find the answer I needed. I've downloaded some Keynote themes (they have a .kth extension). How do I import these into Keynote 08 so that Keynote will recognize and use the themes?
Thanks!

Put the .kth in "Themes" folder under the route Home > Library > Application Support > iWork > Keynote > Themes - it will then appear (at the bottom) in the theme chooser when opening keynote.

HP Envy 17, Win 7 64 Bit - How do I re-install windows when the old hard disk has failed?

The laptop wont start up and the hard disk fails the diagnostic start-up tests. Restore doesn't work and taking the hard disk out the laptop & connecting to my desktop I can't access the recovery partition. The laptop is out of warranty.
I have a replacement disk drive but as I have no install disks and the recovery partition can't be accessed how do I reinstall the OEM win 7 on the new hard disk?
Any help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If the complete 25 character windows activation key is visible on the Microsoft Windows COA on your notebook, you can download an identical iso file from here and install Windows.
Download the drivers from the HP web support portal for your notebook. Put them on a usb flashdisk (thumbdrive) for ease of installation.
Use the Microsoft Windows 7 USD\DVD download tool and a 4GB usb flashdisk (thumbdrive) for the fastest and most reliable means of installing Windows.
This way you can have your laptop in a useable state while you wait for your ordered recovery disk set.

How to install and use the CP2102 USART to USB Converter?

First off, I did a quick search and found that some people had had success in that the cp210x driver was already installed on their machines. I did a modprobe and it returned nothing (not an error).
I searched around on the net a bit and found a very useful USART to USB converter bridge (http://www.nexuscyber.com/cp2102-usb-to … Mgod5UQAdQ). The CP2102 is a programmable device with many settings insofar as the data framing is concerned. As such, a driver for the device must be used to interface and modify these parameters.
On the Silabs website I found this driver (http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/page … ivers.aspx) for linux (kernel > 3.x.x). The problem is that this driver is just a single C program with zero documentation. An include make file is about as useful considering it has a single line in it that fails (for me) at run-time.
obj-m = cp210x.o
KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) clean
The driver source can be found here (http://pastie.org/private/kulx2zqdyvkafoxekwjq)
Where my make error is

There is no documentation aside from:

cp cp210x.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
insmod /lib/modules/<kernel-version/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
insmod cp210x.ko
Can anyone provide some guidance on the steps to install this driver (or at least where to look) and why there is such a lack of documentation? Are there assumptions here that I am not aware of? How is anyone suppose to use this? If you look in the source there are structures being used as arguments to functions that are never defined as far as I can tell. Perhaps they are part of the header files included at the top, but I could not find some of those on my machine either.
Has anyone had success using this device?

ewaller wrote:<hopeful>Do you have an oscilloscope? </hopeful>
First, I think you have a mismatched Baud. Check your settings in GtkTerm. It could also be the uController. I know you said you have it set for 9600 Baud, but are you sure? The divisor settings are dependent on your clock frequency. Are you sure you are using the correct divisors for the frequency of your crystal? And are you using a crystal, ceramic oscillator, or external oscillator for your time base?
I did not think the internal RC oscillators were that bad off, so I was using the internal 8MHz (DIV8 = 0 fuse bit). Taking your advice I just refused the AVR and set it to use a 20MHz clock (external crystal oscillator) to no avail. The setting in GTKterm is certainly 9600 baud.Referencing the datasheet for the Atmega328P we have:
Which gives a a UBRR register value of 129 corresponding to normal speed (U2Xn = 0). This is all computed for me at compile-time via this formula:
20,000,000/(16*9600) - 1 = 129.2 ~ 129 truncated.
That the two devices can communicate tells me they both might be using the same wrong Baud.
I was also suspicious of this .. I do not have a trivial way to test this though. Perhaps some workaround using timers is about the best I can do; no oscilloscope here. Doing a quick high-level test I did find something rather interesting though. Both devices are set to run at 9600 baud. One device is operating at 8MHz (internal oscillator) and the other is using an external 20MHz crystal. I am getting UART communication between the devices, but certainly not the characters I'm sending..
The other problem is that I think you have "Local Echo" turned on in GtkTerm. This places the system in "Half Duplex" mode in which data are not expected to be echoed from the Atmel. That you are getting two characters when the pins are shorted tells me you get the local echo and the loopback. Then the loopback is missing, you still get the local echo. Also, make sure you have parity turned off.
GTKterm does not actually show you what you are typing into the terminal. That is, when you type a character then nothing is displayed to the screen. Presumably this character is sent out as you type it. I was under the impression that local echo would just echo what I type to the screen as well as send it out. Thank you for the clarification.
