  • Any problems with 27" fusion drive yet

    Hi all!
    Contemplating purchasing the 27" iMac with fusion drive.  What are you all hearing out there with regard to issues?
    Thanks!
    Stevie

    I'm running a 1TB fusion and love it.  Based on how the tech, if there are any problems it will probably be around disk utilities trying to "fix" the drive.  The way the recovery works is a bit different, not a recovery partition per-say but a MAC OS X BOOT partition.

  • I have not been able to use facetime on my iPhone 5 and my daughters iPod 5 since yesterday. Does anyone know if there are any problems with apple?

    I have not been able to use facetime on my iphone 5 and my daughtes ipod 5 since yesterday...does anyone know if there are any issues with apple?

    As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here. 
    Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched?  Seems rather unintelligent.

  • Has anybody had any problems with the ODBC driver version 10.2.0.2.0?

    Hi,
    I have experienced a problem with my current version of the ODBC driver (version 10.1.0.2) and have been advised to upgrade to the newest version 10.2.0.2.0.
    As the driver was only released a couple of months ago, I am a bit wary about upgrading. Has anybody out there had any issues with the reliability of this driver or does it seem to be pretty stable?
    Thanks very much,
    Caroline

    Sorry, forgot to mention it is on linux.
    Setting SetJavaHome in the jdev.conf did not help.
    I did find a way to at least start the IDE though.
    Either comment out SetJavaVM in the jdev.conf or start jdev with the -client option
    Also to note:
    I downloaded the jdk 1.4.2 32 bit for x86 and i can't get jdev to start:
    current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale modifiers are not supported, using defaultjava.lang.InternalError: Current locale is not supported

    at sun.awt.motif.MWindowPeer.init(MWindowPeer.java:97)
    at sun.awt.motif.MFramePeer.<init>(MFramePeer.java:58)
    So right now i'll try to hack it with j2se 5...

  • Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    I'm looking at buying a new computer.  Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive on iMac?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    NOPE!
    I better not!  My iMac is only a week old.  And, if I did have any problems with it, I would let Apple deal w/it!  I do not troubleshoot when I'm under warranty.  That's Apple job!

  • I have a 2012 Mini with a fusion drive that won't boot from a usb cloned drive. It came with 10.8.2 pre installed. I have zapped the PRAM and reset the SMC. Any thoughts?

    I have a 2012 Mini with a fusion drive that won't boot from a usb cloned drive. It came with 10.8.2 pre installed. I have zapped the PRAM and reset the SMC. Any thoughts?

    When I tried using a recently downloaded (from the App store) version of MtLion 10.8.2 (12C60) I could NOT get the new MacMini to install or boot from a USB I had previously made. I was however able to use the Recovery Mode of the MacMini to create a bootable SSD which I had installed. The problem arose when I went back into Recovery DU as it saw the seperate drives (SSD & HD) as a broken Fusion Drive. Interestingly DU from the boot volume had NO issues and reported NO faults. It was the Recovery DU that identified the faulty Fusion Drive configuration. At this point I am definately out of my depth but my speculation is that the Recovery Volume is being used in some fashion to form the method or pattern that DU assigns files to the drives, System Report sees the drives as seperate volumes with all their individual characteristics.
    Disk Utility did not make a bootable USB, I don't have or use CCC or Super Duper.
    Here is the longer version I've been compiling:
    Having bought a late 2012 Mac Mini(6,2) i7 2.66GHZ with the standard 1TB 5400 HD and 4GB of RAM (base model) I immediately decided to install a Mercury Elite 6g 240GB SSD and up the RAM to 16GB. I received both shipments on the same day and had all my new toys in front of me. After following the video advice on OWC’s website for the installation of the second drive I started the mini and formatted the SSD to accept the OS from Recovery on the original HD. This MacMini shipped with 10.8.2 (12C2034) as the OS, the normal build of 10.8.2 is (12C60). Having used Recovery Disk Utility to format the SSD it came back with an error that DU could’t Repair. I went ahead and installed the OS on the SSD and the Mini booted normally from both drives. The issue I encountered with this setup was that iMovie encountered an “unexpected error” and would not save a completed project. I therefore decided to figure the drive issue out because I suspect the new Fusion File Management software didn’t like my configuration with drives that Recovery DU saw as needing to be “fixed”. After spending some time on the phone with both OWC and Apple Support I took the plunge and used Internet Recovery Disk Utility and allowed both drives to be “fixed” after which DU created a Fusion Drive (Logical Drive) that I then ran Repair Disk on and it showed up as a single drive in DU. It works perfectly as described by Apple’s site:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5446
    Having checked the Link Speed and Negotiated Speed they both show as 6g so I’m pleased not to have lost performance due to it being fuzed to a 3g 5400 drive. The biggest drawback is that Apple’s Fusion Management only allows for 1 additional partition and I would have preferred more than that.
    I have sourced some additional information here:

    http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/08/05/undocumented-corestorage-commands/
    If anyone has a factory Fusion Drive could you please post the Link and Negotiated Speeds of both drives? This information can be found in Apple > About This Mac > More Info… > System Report >  Serial ATA and the drives should show up as discrete drives with their info listed separately.

  • Apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

    apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

    No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

  • Any problems with a 1TB  boot drive?

    My Mac Pro finally got here and I added ram & a 1 TB WD Caviar Black HD as a boot drive. The boot drive as shipped was a 640GB WD Caviar Blue but after a lot of reading, I decided to make the 1TB black the Boot 'cause it's faster & roomier. Really don't want to have to change it out in a few years due to space constraints & go through the setup process all over again.
    I also have another 1 TB WD Caviar Black coming (should be here today) that I intend to use as a capture scratch disc. I still have the 640GB blue in the machine for use probably as a boot drive for windows XP Pro & all the programs I run on it in my PC at this time.
    The question I have is this: is there any problem with using the 1TB black as a boot drive?
    I think I recall that in the past some folks advocated a smaller boot drive, but that was before the days of dual processor, 64 MB cache, and dual heads that make the 1TB quite speedy.
    I think I'll setup a PCIe external raid in the not too distant future as the archive & backup resovoir. Any difficulties with that?
    Ken

    Thanks for the replies, they are all helpful.
    @ Jim C, glad to hear confirmation on your setup success w/ WD Blacks. My thinking was exactly the same as yours, a drive with lots of room is faster.
    @David, I've always had good luck with Seagate, but only had one older WD. I'm aware WD went through some reliability problems earlier. The reviews I found on the recent WD Cav blacks all said they were better all around drives than Seagate now a days. Sorry to hear about your drive failure, time will tell for me. I'm definitely going to go with enterprise class drives on the raid and will also have an installed spare in case on goes.
    Some days it's peanuts & other days it's shells. Despite marketing claims on MTBF, there will always be "premature" failures as Jim Kells points out in his reply.
    Ultimately when manufacturers get a better handle on SSD's, they will be the longest lived if for no other reason than no moving parts. Performance droop on many of them now also colors the current scene, IMO. Until then it's somewhat of a crap shoot.

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • What is the disc utility supposed to look like with a fusion drive

    I have bought a brand spanking new iMac 2013 with a fusion drive. I had a bit of a glitch with the set up of boot camp. I have taken it to the apple service centre and they reformated the drive. But I am no expert but it seem as though the computer is really slow, even slower than my 2009 iMac. can any one tell me what the fusion drive should look like in the disc utility? It appears as two seperate drives!? is this right? Can some one please help me?
