Synchronize Slave issue

Hey all,
Any ideas on what is going here. I just created this new slave from the Master repository last night. Today when I try to synchronize the two, I get a fun little error: "Unable to retrieve synchronization data from master repository."
When I check the Assertion log, I find: "Error: When retrieving a change for synchronization, received the following error from the master MDS: Error seeking file pos (code 2147614726)."
The sync updates the slave repository with the new updates to the catalog that are changed in the master repository, fyi.
Again, any help on this would be great. Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
All slave repositories should be mounted on hosts running the same version (build number) of MDM Server software as their master repository. Changes made to a master repository running a different version of the MDM Server than a slave repository can not be synchronized by the slave.

Having migration trouble: master/slave issue in G4

I just got a 24-inch imac and began the migration process yesterday. And if it were 2005 I'd be in great shape. The new iMac saw only my ORIGINAL 20 GB drive (in two partitions, one for OS9 and one for OSX) and I, not realizing it didn't see the drive i installed in January 2005 and which is now my main drive, had it migrate the stuff from that drive. (I thought it was taking everything.) Obviously, then I had only the stuff from the old drive. Worse, the imac never could see the newer drive. I posted something on a different forum, and people immediatley responded it was a master/slave issue. I've now spent HOURS since last night rearranging drives and jumpers (one is the original Apple drive, from Western Digital, and the second is a Seagate 120 GB drive). The G4 either wouldn't turn on at all, or I just got a gray screen. We put everything back to the way it was, and at least now I have a computer.
However, I still have the migration issue. The original drive (according to the profile) is listed first, so is the master. How can I do the migration. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
Two options that I see: clone the Seagate to an external, and migrate from there. Or: put the Seagate into an external enclosure and again, clone from there.
Are there other options out there?
BY the way, we had massive troubles with the jumpers. It never worked to have the jumper on the seagate -- the only way this computer started is with the jumper NOT on 7/8 and on the Apple (original) drive.
Thanks in advance.

Aside from the issues you are having with the HDs, you also need to be very careful with what you migrate from a PowerPC to an Intel, or you may end up with conflicts which make the Intel inoperable. May I suggest Kappy's guide;

Google Contact Synchronization Issue

When I configure a new gmail account on my device 8520 (OS 5.0.0.681) and choose contact sync option it works fine for few days but after that it stops. In options Wireless Synchronization status shows "Not Available" which I can not change also as it is disabled.
In order to enable it again the only option works is delete the account and configure it again which is a pain as I have to again create my filters which is a hectic work.
Any help on this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

AD OID Synchronization searchfilter issue (help needed)

Hi,
I am trying to Synchronize AD and OID. I am running into an issues where users are being populated both in groups and users containers in OID even though I specified my
searchfilter to put users under cn=users and groups under cn=groups. Following are the serch filters I am using and looks like it's not working. I want my users to be in cn=Users and groups in cn=Groups, but some how
I always keep getting the users being populated in cn=groups and cn=users.
Group filter:
searchfilter=(|(objectclass=group)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(!(objectclass=user)(!(objectclass=computer))))
User filter:
searchfilter=(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(!(objectclass=group)(!(objectclass=computer))))Following are my Attribute Rules that I have both in group and user profiles:

Hi WhiteSox!
I wounder if you ever solved this?
I guess that
Group filter:
searchfilter=(|(objectclass=group)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(!(objectclass=user)(!(objectclass=computer))))
User filter:
searchfilter=(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(!(objectclass=group)(!(objectclass=computer))))
in both searchfilters you do search for the organizationalunit with a logical OR. as both users and groups can have this attribute they migth end up there.
I have to confess that I have struggled lately with the searchfilters as I am now on a AD-OID sync project.

Password changes in AD - Password Synchronization Connector Issue

Hey all,
Newbie question/problem... I have the 9.1.1.0 version of the AD Password Synchronization Connector installed on all domain controllers in my AD. My OIM system is IDM 9.1.0.1 running with JBoss.
When a password is changed on the target machine that OIM is connected to, the password synchronizes across to OIM fine.
When I change a password on another DC, the password does not synchronize. I check the logs and instead get an error saying... User not found. This shows in the AD eventlog as well saying... user not found in AD, please verify the configuration parameters.
The weird thing is... if I change my OIM host to point to the 2nd DC that threw that error and change the Password Synchronization Connector to point to itself as the host, the password change will now work and synchronize back to OIM. The password change on the original DC will now throw the same error, user not found.
I am totally stumped on this one... any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
-B

Well finally figured it out... each password synchronization connector on each domain controller must:
for the host entry: use the IP of the current Domain controller box you are installing on
for the OIM host: enter the OIM server's hostname (not ip)
Just wanted to share my pains and struggles so others wouldn't have to.

Synchronize/Permission Issues With Pacman-Solved

Hi Friends,
I just re-installed Arch (base only) and wanted to get gui. So, I edited pacman.conf and included a directory in "custom" where many packages are saved. I had logged in as root.
Now, when I do "pacman -Syu" I get:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date
failed copying /home/pacman/custom.db.tar.gz
failed to synchronize custom

db_read: error: /var/lib/pacman/community/perl-net-ipv6addr-0.2-2/depends: Permission denied
error: could not open sync database: custom
have you used --refresh yet?
Again, on doing "pacman -S xfce4" I get
error: /var/lib/pacman/extra/cl-sdraw-1.0.0-1/desc: Permission denied
db_read: error: /var/lib/pacman/community/perl-net-ipv6addr-0.2-2/depends: Permission denied
error: could not open sync database: custom
have you used --refresh yet?
Then I edited pacman.conf and commented out custom and then did "pacman -Syu" and got
:: Synchronizing package databases...

:: extra is up to date
:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date

So, after excluding "custom," pacman is working but still giving "permission denied" error at the begining.
Now, when I do "pacman -S kde" I get
error: /var/lib/pacman/extra/cl-sdraw-1.0.0-1/desc: Permission denied
db_read: error: /var/lib/pacman/community/perl-net-ipv6addr-0.2-2/depends: Permission denied

error: /var/lib/pacman/extra/cl-sdraw-1.0.0-1/desc: Permission denied
kde: not found in sync db
So, it seems pacman has problems installing packages which are not currently installed, like xfce4 or kde. With the packages currently installed, it behaves properly as when I did "pacman -S wget" which is already installed, it gave me as
error: /var/lib/pacman/extra/cl-sdraw-1.0.0-1/desc: Permission denied
db_read: error: /var/lib/pacman/community/perl-net-ipv6addr-0.2-2/depends: Permission denied
Targets: wget-1.10.2-2
Total Package Size: 0.5 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] n
Hence, I'm unable to install any single packages and also could not understand that "permission denied" error. Also, I am unable to delete /var/lib/pacman/current, extra, etc., or change their permission using chmod 751. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Try to just fsck the partitions, don't mount them. Certainly doesn't sound good though.

Slave repository synchronization

Hello,
We don't want to manually sync slave repository through MDM console or MDM CLIX. I found command "CLIX repSynchronize <MdsHostSpec> <slaveRepositorySpec> <Credentials> [-D]" but is there a parameter we can set to sync slave repository automatically after every fix time interval or is there a way to synchronize slave repository automatically?
Thanks,
Urvi

Hi,
On which MDS system i need to run this command? MDM Master or MDM slave.
CLIX repSynchronize <MdsHostSpec> <slaveRepositorySpec> <Credentials> [-D]
Can you please help me with values for <MdsHostSpec> <slaveRepositorySpec> <Credentials> parameteres?
clix repSynchronize masterhost:<sidadm password> <slave repository>:<slave host>:<O- for oracle>:<slave db user id>:<slave db user's pwd> <slave repo user>:<slave repo user's pwd>
Is above correct?
I tried this on master server with Master SIDADM user and also same command i tried on slave server with slave SIDADM user, but I am getting below(same error on both):

Master/Slave Settings?

Hello Everyone. I need a little guidance here. The original HD in my B&W, Rev 2, is a Maxtor 6.03GB, ATA, Model 90648D3. I have it partitioned, running Classic and OS 10.2.8. I also have a second SCSI drive, a Quantum Atlas 35GB that I've been using as storage but it's almost full. I decided to get a large HD so I recently purchased a Seagate Cheetah 73GB Ultra-2 SCSI. The drive is an 80 pin but came with a 68 pin SCSI adapter. i thought that the two SCSI drives, with different IDs of course, would work so I installed the drive, thinking that since it was SCSI that I wouldn't have the Master/Slave issue, however I can't boot from the new drive at all. I've tried everything, short of standing on my head, with no success. I would really like to have classic on one of the drives and Tiger on the other but the drives only show up when I reconnect the Maxtor and boot from it. Does anyone know what the problem is here?
As always, any help is always appreciated! Thank you.

Ummm,
Look like you did all the step correctly, but do you use an upgrade card?, because I saw it on your specs at the bottom of youe thread that "B&W G3 .. upgraded to G4", if that is so you are out of luck base on this page :
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
Maybe somebody would have a trick to install it using emulator software like xfacto or else, but I haven't try that and I heard it will chunk or disable some of Tiger feature, so what is the point of using Tiger if it is half a man it used to be..
Try to use your original processor first to install the system and after that, restart while pressing the mouse to pop the installer disk out, and press option to give you the option for start up disk. if you are too late, just restart again (after you take the installation disk out) by pressing the reset button or pull and plug back the power cable (not recommended) and hit option key until it give you start up disk option.
IF it still not coming up, maybe tiger doesn't support either your hd or scsi card for boot up.
Hope it help now.

Why AD properties not synced after adding AD groups and full synchronization ?

Hello,
I am facing the issue with UPS synchronization as below:
scenario :
1) imported users by selecting OU named Group1 via sync connection.
2) Run Full Synchronization.
Issue :
users of Group1 has been added in UPS but their AD properties are not imported.
Note :
other existed users are having AD properties imported in UPS.
I refreshed containers again by deselecting Group1 and re-selecting Group1 , but still AD properties are not imported in UPS.
Would you please let me know how can I update the AD properties of Group1 ?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

The UPSS imports users at an OU level, not Group level (and must import User objects directly). Did you select the OU containing these users you wish to import?

How to transfer a site on my HD to a local testing server?

My site, which I developed in Dreamweaver CS3, is currently
all static HTML. I'm making progress in changing it to have some
PHP content, but my initial work is all on my live site -- whereas
I want to be able to do development and testing on a local testing
server. I've successfully set up XAMPP, and am making progress in
developing some pages on a *new* local test site (which I've
installed for local testing at C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs),
which I've set up to have PHP-based dynamic content. What I *can't*
figure out how to do is to take all of my local content for my live
Website (which is currently at C:/Documents and
Settings/MyName/MySite/) and move it to
http://localhost/ (at C:/Program
Files/xampp/htdocs), so I can can develop and test new dynamic
content for my site locally against my local Web server. I suspect
that there are some simple steps to accomplish this goal, but I'm
pretty new at this, and can't figure it out. Any advice/guidance
will be greatly appreciated!

Wow, that was simple. Thanks! (I had assumed that I needed to
make the change somehow from within Dreamweaver, vs. in Windows
Explorer. But I guess that's necessary only if/when you're moving
files around *within* a site.) Thanks so much!
I think that Dreamweaver will fuss at me that my testing site
(actually,
http://localhost/visiblewind)
is in a subfolder, whereas my live site (
http://www.visiblewind.com)
is at the root, for synchronization-related issues. Will that cause
issues if I do switch from a separate FTP program (which I'm
currently using) to synchronization via Dreamweaver?

Root.sh failed at second node OUL 6.3 Oracle GRID 11.2.0.3

Hi, im installing a two node cluster mounted on Oracle Linux 6.3 with Oracle DB 11.2.0.3, the installation went smooth up until the execution of the root.sh script on the second node.
THe script return this final lines:

In $GRID_HOME/log/node2/alertnode.log It appears to be a Cluster Time Synchronization Service issue, (i didn't synchronyze the nodes..) however the CTSS is running in observer mode, wich i believe it shouldn't affect the installation process. After that i lost it...there's an entry CRS-5018 indicating that an unused HAIP route was removed... and then, out of the blue: CRS-5818:Aborted command 'start' for resource 'ora.asm'.

Windows 8.1 clients are not detecting updates deployed to them through SCCM 2012 R2

Hello,
We are using SCCM 2012 R2 to deploy software updates.
On Windows 8.1 SCCM does not show certain updates as being needed and isn't deploying them to the clients even though Windows Update will show them as high importance. These same updates are being detected and deployed to Windows 8 clients successfully.
I believe that the update catalog that WSUS uses may have some incorrect detection rules for the following updates:
2917933
2913320
2913270
2913152
2909569
2904440
2904266
2903939
2899189
2893984
2893294
2892074
2916626
2898785
My automatic deployment rules include Windows 8.1 in the product category. I have even created a standalone rule for Windows 8.1 that builds a new package and the behavior is the same.
We only have a handful of Windows 8+ clients so this hasn't been a big issue but others may want to keep an eye out.

I am also running into this issue. After "checking online for updates" on one of my machines in office I found that there were 21 important updates for my 8.1 box. When I cross reference them in SCCM under All Software Updates, it appears these
8.1 updates are not listed. They are however listed for all other OS.
10 seconds after typing this, I went in to verify my WSUS -> Products and Classifications settings and come to find 8.1 and 2012 R2 weren't selected, even though it's an option in SCCM. Go figure! This wasn't the end though. After
running a Synchronization, my issue still wasn't resolved. Went back to check my settings and they again were changed back to having these OS unchecked. Finally, a solution! I found that in SCCM, under Administration tab, Site Configuration
> Sites > ABC - Mysitename, right click and scroll down to "Configure Site Components" > Software Update Point. This setting (although the same as is in WSUS) takes precedence, thus was rolling my settings back to the original configuration
in WSUS.
So long story short, even though my automatic deployment rules stated approve all windows 7/8/8.1 criticals/importants, 8.1 was getting skipped for the most part because my WSUS server wasn't syncing with Microsoft for all of the updates I required. I
did have a couple of updates that squeezed through because they were categorized as "Security Updates for Windows 8, 8.1".
Not sure if this is the solution you were looking for, but your thread got me started in the right direction, hopefully this response helps in the same way!
Thanks!

MobileSTOR MS2UT + esata + USB + mac pro = never-ending problems

Hey gang,
I seemed to have entered a perfect storm here:
I had purchased the *MobileSTOR MS2UT 2 Bay SATA to eSATA/USB 2.0 RAID 0/1* Enclosure initially for a *dual 800 quicksilver G4* mac that I had, looking for a hardware-based Raid solution for back ups and to not burden the G4 processor. I have replaced the G4 with an early *2008 2.8 dual quad core mac pro*. After two machines and two different PCI sata cards, I've had no luck....
(website for the above enclosure)
http://www.sansdigital.com/mobilestor/ms2ut.html
For starters, in the G4, I had a quality Seritek/1ve2+2 controller that had no problem with two other single drive enclosures, but failed with the MS2UT.
http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-1ve2plus2/
A glib response from Seritek support says that I should use their enclosure. Digging around I find that I need a controller card that can handle a port multiplier enclosure rather than just any serial ata enclosure. Seems silly to me that the user has to dig for this. I mean the USB & FIREWIRE interfaces don't seem to care: it says USB/FIREWIRE on the effing box of both the controller and on the drive, badda-bing, badda boom: it works. Whats with this high maintenance of esata. Well you get roughly 2-3x the performance so Ok, maybe its worth it.
Well, with the macpro on the horizon,, I give up on the G4, close that unsolved mystery. For the mac pro I figure PCIe, a modern computer, no problem. I get the computer, fish around the internet for an esata PCIe card, then I come across this review of the WiebeTech SilverSATA II which appears to be similar to that of the MobileSTOR:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/silver2/
It appears that the unit has specific tastes as far as having the right card to make it bootable, multiport aware, etc... (the Sonnet Tempo 4+4 card works but its a PCIx card, not PCIe)
Like I said: install a bootable Mac OS on any USB/firewire drive, plug it into any card, and it works... estata... its russian roulette...
Ok so I round up some vendors, (firmtek, sonnet, Highpoint) send them emails to see what they think: if their latest cards will work with the MS2UT... They are all over the place.. they think it may work, they dunno... it should work, they haven't tested it... then they try to push their own enclosure hardware on me. I mean see an astrologist or have your palm read.. it seems more likely you'll get a more accurate answer from them, rather than vendors... props to Sonnet, though, they list compatibility right on the page with their controller.
then 10.6 comes out... and you email vendors about compatibility on that OS, and they don't even email you back.
So I find this review of the highpoint rocket raid for the mac on the great sight: Barefeats.com
http://www.barefeats.com/hard119.html
to make a long story short:
+KEY FEATURES of the "eSATA for Mac"+
+1. Dual eSATA ports+
+2. 32 and 64-bit EFI onboard+
+3. Able to boot Mac OS X+
+4. Plug and Play for (Oxford and Silicon Image chipset) external storage+
enclosures
+5. 4x PCIe rating+
+6. Support for Direct Attached and Port Multiplied enclosures+
+7. RAID 0, 1, 5, and JBOD support using browser-based manager+
+8. Native support for Snow Leopard+
+9. Compatible with 2006 - 2009 Mac Pro+
I should be set, right? WRONG!
I email highpoint, detailing that I planned to mix both Port multiplied (PM) and direct access (DA) enclosures on the same card at the same time. They say maybe (only describing the PM enclosure, not even mentioning the DA enclosure compatibility as I specified), since its a raid card and I intended to use it with an enclosure with its own raid hardware, however they say they see no issues. Well it shows they don't even know their own hardware: Their docks say that the card supports PM enclosures as well as DA (direct access) enclosures. Their web based software even shows the two as separate categories. What is buried in the manual and not cleared up by tech support or their product page is that YOU CAN'T MIX PM AND DA ENCLOSURES ON THE CARD AT THE SAME TIME!!! I explained more in the paragraph above than any tech support from any company. Unbelievable where support has gone these days.
I discover the above because I found the card at Fry's believe it not and since they have a generous return policy I tried it out and learned the above the hard way. No dice on the MS2UT with what is perhaps the most forgiving esata card for the mac.
So more hunting on the web, this time the enclosure's manufacture site: sans digital.
http://www.sansdigital.com/mobilestor/ms2ut.html
...clicking on the accessories tab I find several esata adapter cards... funny that they include ones that don't appear to support PM enclosures... Anyway, I study two that state they supports port multipliers:
http://www.sansdigital.com/adapters/ha-san-4espcix2.html:
http://www.sansdigital.com/adapters/ha-dat-4espcie.html
Ok, I may not get a bootable enclosure.. I just want to get this thing working in esata since cloning my internal raid on the mac pro takes 8 hours using usb, and my main purpose is to maintain a clone so I make my compromise.
I should be set, right? WRONG!
reading the fine print on both cards it says:
*(Please note that the host adapter card is based on Silicon Image chipset, which currently only support up to MAC OS 10.5.1 by Silicon Image.)*
I do more research, it seems any manufacturer using chips by Silicon Image will have an issue with 10.6 macs! On some websites it says Silicon Image will never release a driver. On firmtek it says they make their own driver and swears that it works. At the Silicon Image website they say they are an OEM provider so don't bother them, and that its up to the vendor to make a compatible driver. Sheesh!!
I don't get it.. whats the point in having an esata sticker if it appears to come in more flavors than an ice cream shop!
Oh and it gets better: I go to the sonnet site, thinking they have to have something that works, looking at their latest tempo SATA E4P:
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposatae4p.html
well, the fine print is EXHAUSTIVE, but again props to Sonnet for making it crystal clear:
(4) Sonnet Tempo cards are compatible with most external SATA storage. However, external hard drives with USB 2.0/eSATA dual interface based on the Oxford Semiconductor OXU931DS storage controller chip may not be compatible with Mac OS X when connected via SATA.

So in short: if you have an enclosure that has both USB and esata, but does not use the JMicron 20366, then it will not be recognized by the card. If you have an enclosure with three interfaes: USB, FW and esata, you're fine. Keep in mind too: most manufacturers don't put the source manufacturer of their chipsets on the box. So I ask..
*HOW IS THE CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO KNOW!*
I swear, a perfect analogy is if I go to best buy, buy a toshiba DVD player only to discover it doesn't play DVD's that contain movies produced by Sony Pictures..because its not a a Sony/columbia House movie. You think consumers would put up with that crap? UNBELIEVABLE...
So now I have this really versatile enclosure that apparently can't run on Mac 10.6 with ANY esata controller for the mac. I really like the design of the enclosure, with its hardware based raid that is hot swappable and has a small footprint. However there seems to be no way to get a controller card for this device that will work on a 10.6 mac.
I guess whats inferred is that you should get an enclosure with the fewest variety of ports, i.e. esata/fw/usb... ironically if it has all three, you are ok, but not if it has usb/esata. Being that USB is the most popular, thats not easy. I'm looking to contact Sans Digital to see if they will exchange it for me, possible for a model with esata/fw800 or an esata only model, if it exists. My last resort is to just use it as a USB drive (my intention was to use it as a clone of my system, with the added security that the enclosure makes a copy of a copy in raid 1), however its like 3x as time consuming than esata.
If anyone has a working MobileSTOR MS2UT/wiebetech SilverSATA II in a 10.5 mac pro, please respond to me with your config. Thanks for reading!

Thank you hatter for your reply.
I'm familiar with OWC, as I've done business with them since 2001, as well as XLR8.
I have a 2008 mac pro so the 2009 model related problems are not an issue in my situation
As I stated above I go to reputable vendors for my hardware who have specific mac experience. I look specifically for hardened compatibility so that there is support for things like deep sleep. The Sans Digital enclosure was over $200..it was not cheap. The USB/Esata combo is the most common interface for the enclosure storage market. Having a compatibility issue is a vendor fault, not the buyer. Having minutiae flavors of esata compatability based on chipsets roulette wheel is inexcusable. The enclosure needs that I have is for the medium to be removable and be able to be rebuilt at the hardware level, i.e. at the enclosure's control panel. To the mac its just a drive. The hotswap and back up is transparent to the OS and mac hardware, and allows me to change from raid 0/1 and do back up right from the enclosure interface.
So far I haven't had problems with USB/Firewire. Meanwhile Esata to me has been nothing but beta testing for vendors and seeing how the chipset manufacturers have gone loosey-goosey on following spec and just dump cheap chinese crap into the market with no pride.
for comparison:
USB/FW, PATA, SATA, SCSI
1) industry standard
2) native drivers
3) bootable. Period.
4) buy a controller card/raid card, plug it in, format, it works even through major OS upgrades.
5) USB/FW: Hot-swapable. Yes it really does work.
Esata:
1) Multiple standards (again, look at the Sonnet website to see the minefield one has to walk through to mate a controller card to an enclosure)
2) non native drivers. Buying an esata card is like marrying into the vendors family. Plus if you manage to get things working and do an OS upgrade, you are playing russian roulette. If you system boots off it, then get life insurance because you may kill yourself.
3)Not bootable and no one seems to care to explain why. Whats odd is that some earlier PCIx cards were bootable (like sonnet Temp 4x4) but their PCIe successors aren't. Not sure if this has to do with the host computer BIOS and/or the current chipsets from SI which rely on custom drivers from the vendors. Another lovely example of this are the ODD_SATA ports on the Mac pro: storage only, not bootable. Sure it makes sense now that I've learned it the hard way, however to users of FW/USB and even IDE, one would think that motherboard ports are bootable. Yes I know this is a mac bios thing and its not even considered as part of the feature set of the computer
4) As I've shown, each controller card seems to be unique, even if its from the same vendor. Even the drivers vary from card to card! Heck even the vendors are unsure as to how compatible their controller cards are with various enclosures. That is proprietary, not industry standard. OS upgrades doesn't seem to provide native driver support for Direct access and/or port multiplying interfaces. The problem with this is that film/video users like myself like to build bullet proof systems, and with raids that I've built from IDE, FW, or USB, I've never had the minutiae of compatibility issues as I've had with esata. I installed an Acard raid controller in my dual 800 back in 2001, installed the drives and forgot about it. it just worked through multiple OS upgrades. Not sure whats gong on with esata.
5) Can't call it hot swappable if I can't get the **** thing to wok in the first place.
My analysis is this: Esata is basically a proprietary format to the vendor that sells the hardware, while USB/FW is an industry standard. I bought a quality enclosure that said "esata", I bought a quality controller that said "esata", it didn't work. I had to learn the hard way about DA and PM enclosures and now about chipset conflicts. I've built computers since the late 80's amiga days, hot-rodding that computer well beyond spec and with custom cooling. SCSI terminators and IDE master/slave issues were easy-cheesey because they followed straightforward rules. This esata stuff is just plain sloppy work on the part of vendors and as Danny Glover said I'm getting to old for this **** as far as being a beta tester for hardware.

Slot loading optical drive not recognized.

Recently I replaced a none functioning optical drive in my 15" 1.67 HS PB with 2.0g ram 160hdd. On reboot it will show a grey screen or a ? folder. I have tried everything ( and I mean everything) 2x over. This is what I find:
1) The PB will boot up fine if only either the od or the hdd is connected to the mother board. But not with both drive connected.
2) The PB will boot up with an external PB2 in target disk mode with only the od drive connected. I mentioned this because this allow me to use apple HW test that described the hdd as ID-0.
3) The od is a UJ85J-B panasonic/masushita from owc. Exchanged x2 thinking its defective.
I believe this is a master/slave issue. my question is will the following article apply to my situation.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/PioneerK04L_mastermod.html
Is ther anything else I can do or use the od as an external?
Will very much appreciate any in put.
PB 15" 1.67ghz 2.0g ram 160 hdd Mac OS X (10.4.8)

We have 3 right now having problems. 1 just went into the ITech store to have a CD removed. 1 will not even accept a CD anymore and the other just makes awful noises and scratches the CD. These have been minimally used also. They said the Optical Drive is bad on the 1st one. Of course, we are 1 month past our warranty! I think Apple should be backing this but when I called about it they didn't want to help me. Even saying I had not registered them even though I had documentation from them saying I had. I know the feeling of being ripped off. Our company has purchased 20 of these in the last 1 1/2 years. You think we would get a little bit of help from Apple being we have purchased so many of their products in the last 20 years.

How do I transfer my data to my new IMAC from my old mac's hard drive?

When switching to my new IMac, I transferred my data, but the data that it transfered from was my old Mac's original hard drive. How do I transfer the data from my 2nd hard drive which has all my up-to-date info?

I believe that you are running into the Master/Slave issue when there are two or more HDs on the same channel.
As per the Knowledge Base article on How to use FireWire target disk mode
Tip: FireWire Target Disk Mode works on internal ATA drives only. Target Disk Mode only connects to the master ATA drive on the Ultra ATA bus. It will not connect to Slave ATA, ATAPI or SCSI drives.
When you disconnected the original drive, which was the Master, and changed the new drive's position on the cable, which had been the Slave, you made it the Master, which then gave you access to it.
You may be more successful if you use Migration Assistant if you erase and reinstall OS X. It is located on your Intel in Apps/Utilities. Be sure to use Kappy's post linked above for an intelligent move of the things that are safe to move from PPC to Intel Macs.
