10.6.8 update - hard dive unwritable
After doing the 10.6.8 update on my 2010 unibody 17" macbook pro, i can not reboot. Tring to repair permissions with a snow leopard disk shows my HD has the permissions set to "Writeable: No" and I don't know how to change this.
Any suggestion on how to get this machine back up and running?
Ok will check, as of right now I have 82.57gb free, that's plenty of space will check the disk though using disk utility. Also I am now downloading the update from the apple website instead of going through software update

External Hard Diver Fromatting Preventing use with USB Airport Extreme ?
I am putting together a network with my new MacBook and Airport Extreme and old XP Windows desktop and Seagate USB external hard dive. The drive is not recognized over the network from the Mac, butis available when the USB is plugged directly into the Mac. I called apple support and was told that this is because the Seagate drive is Windows NT formatted which is not recognized by the Airport Extreme, and that I will have to reformat the drive to a DOS or Mac format for this to work. I just want to see if anyone has any other ideas before reformating. Thanks.
If you ever plan to read the drive directly plugged into the PC, you'll need to format it FAT/FAT32. If you ever plan to use it for Time Machine it needs to be formatted HFS+. You can re-format later (data removed) if you wish.

How can i save my mails in my hard dive?
I tried to save my email on my hard dive. I can drag one email at the times. It won't work if I try to drag more than one email. Any way I can save more than one?
Try selecting an e-mail, then hold down the command key while selecting other e-mails, and then drag.

How to load Time Capsule on updated hard drive
The hard drive on my 2007 Macbook crashed, and it was replaed (was a recall for my hard drive, so replaced with similar HD loaded with OS X). On the initial set-up, I wasn't able to load straight from Time Capsule (prompted for "x509anchors" password, also asked for logins/passwords that Im not sure I entered correctly), so I chose to do it later.
I completed the basic setup (choosing language, country, etc) and found the Time Capsule. I was able to connect to it and can see a sparse bundle file as well as some other files I stored on it. But I can't figure out what I need to do to load/restore it back with all the pre-crash info.
The sparse bundle file is 260GB - connected with an ethernet cord, how long will the process take?
A little nervous to mess anything up as I'm scared to lose anything - this backup is all I have.bas351 wrote:
Is there an easy fix to clear the gray screen, or do you think there may be something corrupted that I restored from my Time Machine
Probably. Apparently whatever was going wrong with your HD corrupted some things, which got backed up, then brought back with the restore.
(should I try to restore from a previous TM date - as opposed to the most recent)?
Given how long it took, I'd recommend just installing OSX. If you're on Snow Leopard, that won't affect anything else. If you're on Leopard, you'll need to do an +Archive and Install.+ Then download and install the "combo" update. See [Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Combo.html].
Once you get it running, check as many apps and data files as you can; some of them may have been corrupted, too. If so, you should be able to selectively reinstall them from older backups via the "Star Wars" display. See #15 in the FAQ.
By the way, please click +My Settings+ at the right of this page and supply the details of your Mac and what version of OSX you're running. -
Macbook Leopard Update- Hard drive not recognized?!?!
Question- What do you think caused this problem, and how can I best fix it?
(See below for information)
Well, I finally decided to update to Leopard. I put the disk in my Macbook, and everything went smoothly as it verified the installation DVD- until the end of the verification, that is. A message screen would pop up telling me the disk was dirty. "Okay," I thought,"No problem." I was a bit puzzled, though, because the installation with the same Family Pack disk went fine on my father's Mac. I cleaned the disk, and tried again. And again. Each time, I was greeted with the same message at the end of the verification. Frustrated, I took the disk and my laptop to Best Buy, hoping someone could help me there. We ran the installation again... to no surprise, the same problem occurs. This time, though, when we quit the installer and try to reboot, after the gray screen with the apple at the beginning, we are greeted with a black screen with one command line. NOT GOOD! We rebooted the computer again, this time starting up with a disk to check the permissions and hard drive. The diagnosis: The permissions on my Mac are screwed up, so it's not recognizing the hard drive. The Best Buy guy claims the permissions have been messed up since I bought the Mac, and everything will be just fine and dandy after I transfer the data to another computer, install the Tiger disk that my Macbook came with, update to Leopard, then transfer the data back to my Mac. I'm taking my Mac to the closest Apple store (about 2 hours away) for advice from the pros on Saturday. Until then, I'm hesitant to even turn the thing on, out of fear it will spontaneously erase the data or something to that extent.
Question: (in case you forgot)What do you think caused this problem, and how can I best fix it?Unplugging worked!!!
I have no idea what PRAM is but someone said that unplugging your computer resets it so, I thought I'd give unplugging a shot. So, I shut down my computer and unplugged it. I also unplugged the power on the HD. (because I wasn't sure which one they were talking about.)
Anyway, I went away for about five minutes.
I came back plugged in the HD power first. Then, I plugged in the power cord for the computer and turned it on.
As soon as I logged in I was asked if I wanted to use my external HD for Time Machine backups.
I saw the icon for the HD on the Desktop where is belongs. I can open the drive and access the files with no problem.

[Zen Xtra] Stuck in Recovery Mode after updating Hard Dr
This is a long post, but I thank you in advance if you read it and think you have any ideas for me. Parts of this post were originally posted on the Nomadness.net forums and parts of it come from my personal email correspondence with one of the experienced users on that site.
Here goes:
I just installed a new HD on my Jukebox, and now I am unable to get it to download the Firmware (current or otherwise) and it remains in a state of rescue mode.
Here is how I posted my dilemma on the nomadness.net forums:
My computer is running Windows XP. I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB that I have had for about 2 years, and have had no problems with it, using it at least 8 hours/day 5 days/week (I run it at my desk while I work). I mention that just to give you an idea of how much regular continuous use it has been getting, if that matters. I have regularly downloaded all the latest appropriate firmware, etc. from the Creative website, using the auto updater service. I have one other Creative product connected to this computer, a SoundBlaster Audigy. This will come up again in a minute.
Over time I have accumulated so much new music that I knew I had to either get a new Jukebox or upgrade the HD. Since the Xtra is no longer available new, and upgraded ones are SO expensi've on eBay, I thought I would install a new HD myself. I read the instructions posted here on nomadness.net, and purchased an 80 GB 5400 RPM Momentus 5400.3 Ultra ATA/00 Internal Hard Dri've (that's Seagate).
Ok, now. The installation went easily enough, but now I cannot get the Firmware to reload. My computer recognizes that the unit is connected - it makes the appropriate sound when I connect or disconnect the JB, and under My Computer, there is the icon for the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, under the "Other" category.
When I installed the HD and powered up, I got the rescue menu as expected and started with the "FORMAT ALL". I got the confirmation that it was reformatted and the expected GB of memory showed as available. SO...then I went to "RELOAD OS" and selected the "yes" option to verify that I wanted to reload via USB --BUT-- it only showed the "Start Firmware Update Now" for a second and then went right back to the menu. I have tried using the reset, and every combination of unplugging, replugging, removing the battery, putting it back in, reformatting, etc. and nothing changes. It just goes right back to the rescue menu every time.
I have the Firmware files (old and new) saved on my computer's HD, but when I try to launch any one of them, I get the same annoying message: "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". Well, if the computer thinks it's connected, then why doesn't the firmware file? I don't get it.
If I go back to the Creative auto updater on the website, it still recognizes the SB Audigy being connected, but no longer recognizes the JB.
How can I get the Firmware into the JB if I can't get it to recognize the player being connected? And why is that my computer shows it, if the Firmware file itself doesn't see it's
I received only one response that suggested I check the instructions on the Nomadness FAQs and also the great upgrade guide by Mr. Cheow, also on Nomadness.net.
This was my follow-up post:
Since I posted this earlier today, I have tried everything, and I mean everything, suggested by all of these "guides" to upgrading a hard dri've.
The problem remains that my computer recognizes the Jukebox as a portable device that is connected, but I am unable to get the Firmware file to load because it always says that my device is not connected. It should also be noted that the Nomad Explorer and other applications also will not recognize it (Notmad, JBHTTP, etc.)
Furthermore, I will add that we have two of the exact same model Jukeboxes and two of the same Dell computers running XP, etc. and in every possible combination we have tried, my Jukebox, with the new HD is the one that can not be accessed. So, I know that the connections, drivers, ports, etc. are not defecti've. The only thing that has changed since this morning is that I installed the new HD in my Jukebox.
I would love for any of you who have done this kind of upgrade to offer suggestions, as I am willing to try anything at this point.
After my last post, as a last ditch effort, my boyfriend suggested swapping the hard dri'ves in my Jukebox and his, thinking that perhaps we could get the firmware to download into his, and then switch the hard dri'ves back. Well, it looked as though it was going to work, and then the firmware update stopped almost as soon as it started and so, we are back to the same impasse. It?s the strangest thing, considering that both of us have been using our respecti've JBs daily, and have had no other problems? until I tried this.
We both racked our brains trying to think of a way we could get the firmware from the computer into the jukebox since it won?t load as long as it doesn?t recognize the player. Is there any workaround for this? By that I mean, is there any way at all to get the firmware into the Jukebox with out just launching it as a self-executing file? I know you can't just ?put? the file into the Jukebox, but is there any other means to extract it into the Jukebox so that I can use it's?
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. I am worried that I have ruined my Jukebox and wasted $75 on a HD that I can never use?.
***Note on the Hard Dri've I chose:
I specifically chose this HD based on information posted by others on Nomadness
In particular, the newer instructions for upgrading a Zen Xtra hard dri've that were posted by an individual who used a 5400 for his own upgrade. I even emailed him with questions before I went ahead with this HD. As someone who has done this before, he felt that since this HD fits the specs of size and type being used by others doing this type of upgrade, including his own, that it would be fine. I honestly don?t think that it is the HD itself.
Since trying the swapping of HDs and Jukeboxes last night, we now have not one, but two, that are stuck in recovery mode and flash ?Firmware Problem? when rebooted. I don?t see how the HD itself could have done this. In fact, I am certain that the HD did not ?cause? the problem.
I have been reading forums about Jukeboxes (including here), anything I can find, looking for possible solutions. I have discovered that there are many people out there with the same dilemma, even those who simply updated their Firmware and nothing else, but now are stuck in the same frustrating place that I am.
***Note on the versions of the Firmware Update files I have tried:
I was going to use the newest one, but then after reading comments on Nomadness, I decided to try the older version that everyone was saying was less problematic. (see below) One of the posters had provided a link to it, and I copied it from there. I also had two other newer versions of the Firmware Update, including the newest one that has supposedly caused all the problems for others, but none of them would launch anyway ? I just kept getting that same message saying that the ?player is not connected?. Actually, to be more accurate, as I think I described in my original post on Nomadness, when I first tried to upload the firmware, it seemed as though it was going to go through with it, but never got further than one segment on the file progress display. On the screen of the player, it said it was upgrading, but after a few hours, it had gone nowhere.

If you have read this far, then please know that I appreciate it very much. If you have any further ideas or suggestions, please reply.Amazing that someone noticed this post and took a stab at it after over a year... Actually, I found my answer long ago, and have tried to go back and post?it'son several boards where I had been looking for the answer. It seems to be such a common problem that I figure someone else can surely use this solution as I did. I would suggest that anyone?who is experiencing the frustration of not?getting their computer to recognize their device?read the very enlightening and helpful page that I am linking to here:
http://www.misticri'ver.net/forums/showthread.php?t=30939? (this is from a forum for iRi'ver, but the info and fix are uni'versal)
This simple solution involves correcting the ENUM keys in the Registry (not as scary as you might think) and deleting all instances of your player from the Device Manager and then reinstalling so that Windows and other applications will all recognize your player again. It's so simple, and once I tried it, I was amazed that's all it took to fix the problem.
?I?suggest you read the whole page and follow the instructions as they are given. I deleted and re-installed my player several times and then rebooted a couple of times before it took effect, but then it did, and I was able to download the Firmware and have had continued success with my original player that I posted about as well as others I have acquired since I first posted that message in 2006. For reasons I have not yet identified, this problem still happens every now and again, sometimes when I switch between players to synchronize. It may well be that when I use my registry cleaner or some other utility that "fixes" my registry, that it resets this particular key - but as long as it's easy to fix, it's not a problem. Hope this helps others who may stumble upon this odd little problem with the Zen Xtra.Message Edited by TrixieInDixie on -05-200709:28 PM -
HP Touchsmart IQ528a Hard dive crash
I have tried solving this problem before and so far 3 people have given me incorrect links. My story is I purchased my IQ528a with Vista installed. My hard drive had an irrecoverable crash which left me with an unusable computer. I purchased a new hard drive but only had HP's Win 7 Upgrade so I had to purchase a brand new copy of Vista, hoping I could upgrade to Win 7. No such luck.
On trying the upgrade I was told my Vista wasn't compatible. I contacted HP and was told I could buy a recovery disk to get my computer back to it's original state and I could then update using the Win 7 Upgrade. After talking to 3 people at HP no one can give me a definite link to where I can purchase this recovery disk. All of them are basic purchase links but nowhere is there any mention of recovery disks.
This problem is not of my doing. HP installs Vista onto my computer and places what is required to reinstall it on the same hard drive. So one goes, it all goes. I paid for a computer with Vista installed and I expect to be able to reinstall Vista. I had the recovery disks but little good they are as there is nothing there to recover and it won't reinstall Touchsmart onto a new copy of Vista.
In Short. I have a computer with a Non HP copy of Vista on it. I wish to install Win 7 Upgrade including Touchsmart software.
HOW DO I DO IT? Please don't give me generic links which leave me running around in circles for hours. I need a link directly to where I purchase the correct disk or disks. By the way, I just tried to use my recovery disk I burnt when I first bought my Touchsmart and it's corrupt. I had no way of checking it because I haven't needed it so even if I didn't have my crash it would never have worked.
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE, somebody kindly give me a link to the correct department to purchase the disk. My Grandchildren miss their Touchsmart and I was using it for my CD collection. My Grandchildren will be given this computer at Christmas and I will be buying a similar up to date model. If I can't get Touchsmart and win 7 reinstalled then I will be buying a Panasonic all in one., and steering well clear of HP. I've already been told that if I buy the National Panasonic then I will receive a disk containing Win 7.First, this is a peer-to-peer user support forum with NO official HP presence. The people on this forum are users, like yourself, and are trying to help you as best as they can. You can search the HP website and documents just the same as us. Getting mad at us, complaining about us, and demanding that we fix your issue isn't going to get you the results you want. Now, with that said;
Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ528a Desktop Computer. Here are is the HP "Software and Drivers" webpage for your computer. Since HPs support webpage for your computer don't list a Recovery Disc set part or kit number nor do they list an ordering process, I can only assume they no longer have inventory remaining. Please contact HP Customer Support - Australia directly via telephone, email, or chat. Please read about all of the various contact methods and contact numbers before contacting HP. It may take several contacts before you get the result you want, if you ever get it.

I'm pretty new to the Mac so I'm still learning my way around. I usually save all photos and other contents into my external hard drive, so that I don't eat into my computer's hard drive space. Of course iTunes usually dumps all of my music, videos and podcasts directly to my hard drive. I've deleted quite a few podcasts cleaning up about 10 to 15 Gigs of space, but my hard drive does not update showing me that I have another 10 to 15 gigs added. Any recommendations? I'm a little slow sometimes!! LOL!
Just to be clear, you're talking about Available Space when you select your hard disk and click Get Info, right? Capacity won't ever change (unless you install a new drive or partition your existing one), but available space will increase when you empty the deleted files from your Trash.
iTunes is a little different. When you delete files +in iTunes+ you are asked if you also want to move the files to the Trash. If you click Keep Files, or just hit Return ("Keep Files" is the default choice) the files are no longer displayed in iTunes but they are still in the iTunes Music folder on your hard disk. So, you need to click Move to Trash when you delete those podcasts.
To delete the ones you thought you deleted, go to user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads/Podcasts and trash them, then empty trash.
Hope this helps... -
What's the best way to keep two hard dives synced?
I've been looking at the best way to protect my data and I've learned a few things. My first thought was RAID but a bit more research showed RAID is not a fix-all. It has it's own problems and even if I use a RAID1 or RAID10 array (depending on the number of drives) a failure in one drive can actually set off another drive, killing multiple drives and still destroying my data. There are a few other issues I've seen, such as the way you need to manage a RAID system that don't overly appeal to me.
So what I'm thinking now is two separate hard drives that are synced in some manner. Both of these drives are going to be sitting on the back of my iMac at all times so there's no real worry about their needing to be connected to back up. The question is how best to do it?
So far my options are:
Chronosync: Software wise, I know this can sync across drives and as such has been something that interests me. However, I'm not sure how powerful it is and I'm still curious about how I would have to use it.
SuperDuper: Same thing as Chronosync, really, just a different piece of software.
Rsync: To be honest, this is the one that interests me the most. I need to look into it a bit more I'm starting to think this might be a great choice for me. With some caveats.
Basically, here are the things I'm going to use it for:
Two 3–4 TB HDDs or RAID0 arrays.
Storing of general project archives, images, documents, movies, music, that kind of thing.
Possibly for system backup with Time Machine.
Now, how I'd prefer it to work is:
I keep both hard drives plugged in via FireWire cables.
Ideally, whenever I edit, add or delete a file on one hard drive the change is immediately made to the other.
Once the syncing is set up I never touch it again, don't have to.
The only time I ever have to come back to it is if I'm swapping out one or both of the drives for larger ones.
All of this is controlled by some sort of GUI
I'm willing to accept terminal commands if I have to... But I'd really prefer not to. Also, if the syncing has to be done every hour or once a day or some other similar schedule I'm willing to accept that as well, though it's not preferred.
So that's what I'm looking at doing. I'd love to hear what you guys think.True, it's not technically backup in the traditional sense. What I'm looking for is data protection and redundancy, which is a factor of backups. So in that sense it kind of is, but I see your point.
Anyway, the reason I'm avoiding RAID is because:
1. It can be a pain to manage.
2. It's horribly inflexible.
3. It's protection is limited.
4. It brings it's own set of hazards.
5. RAID arrays can be very expensive once they start getting complex.
I will likely end up going RAID partially in the end simply because I have a 2 TB external and it's filling fast. I can grab a 3 TB now but I've heard reliability issues so instead I'm thinking two 4TB (2x2TB) RAID0 arrays that I sync.
This gives me the benefit of RAID in a simple form, which bypasses the larger array complexities, while leaving me still fully protected and highly flexible. It also doesn't have the inherent risks of RAID because if one of the arrays goes down it will in no way effect the other.
Honestly, I'm not worried about file changes. At all. I'm the only one who's touching the files (well, not true, but everyone else only has read-access). I also tend to not delete things (which is why I have a 2 TB drive that's filling fast). Expansion is my main concern and RAID expansion can be a nightmare unless you go for some of the more expensive systems that are easier to manage. With ease of management comes a hefty price. -
Hello,
I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
A little background about the topic under discussion.
1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
Have any one tried this out? If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
Thanks in advance.
~ NareyGotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

Hard Dive spoiled - How to get the data back on iTunes ?
Dear All,
my hard drive is spoiled and so I have only the data on my Ipod Nano 2GB and IPOD Video 80GB. How can I get the Data on the new Itunes?
Thanks a lot

Message was edited by: TigueresFor iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer. -
If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW? If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)? I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.
If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.
