Apple/mac partition types support

I am trying to mount an Apple partition created from a virtual machine and exported via nbd:

    Yes.  Switching to Mac might be overwhelming at first, but it is not difficult.  I Just started using Macs regularly about 9 months ago after using only Windows based pc's for over 15 years.  Macs come with TextEdit , but you can also purchase MS Office for Mac or use Apple's version, called iWork.Yes, you can partition the hard drive of a Mac.  Read these also: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/.  With regular use of a Mac, you will be able to use it without even thinking about it, just like how you learned to use a WIndows pc.

  • HT5409 I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get.

    I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?

    I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
    You can try these steps to solve the issue:
    Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
    Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected).

  • Does Apple mac books supports STADD V8i.pro

    Greetings friends, I am an undergraduate civil engineer and i am going to do my MSc n Structural engineering and I am using apple Mac book for about 6 months and like to know whether the MACBOOK SUPPORTS STADDV8I PRO ...  and i m totallu confused... help me out.. i dont know will it work propely or slows down.. graphical issues

    i should be able to use all 12 cores
    Using all the cores available is a Classic unsolved problem in Computer Science.
    In general, very few Application Programs can do this, unless they have been hand-coded to do this. Some programs that are doing this are Ray Tracing, DVD-encoding, Frame Stress Analysis, Weather Forecasting or other Fluid Dynamics problems, or similar very specific Applications.
    Almost everyone purchasing a 12-core computer is wasting their money unless they will be running such programs. The additional cores will simply not be used, regardless of what Operating System you are using.
    For most Application Programs, a computer with fewer cores, but Faster is a better choice. These are more likely to be used and will always run at a faster speed when they do.
    Most Users who are purchasing Macs are willing to pay the Premium Price to get the best User Interface there is on any computer, Mac OS X. If you expect to throw out Mac OS X, buy a less expensive Workstation-class computer from Dell or HP.

  • Reference book? Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials

    Can anybody comment on this book by Peachpit press?
    Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition
    I am looking to get a decent reference book for the workings of 10.5. I'm not looking to get Apple certified, but would like to be able to troubleshoot and learn about the OS.
    Are there any other books I should be considering?
    Thanks in advance.

    I spent some time at Borders last night and ended up buying Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition.
    The Missing Manual looked like a great book, but I wanted something that had more depth of what is going on behind the scenes. Most of what is covered in the missing manual are front-end stuff like all of the apps, finder, dock, etc. There is one small section on unix which barely scratches the surface.
    I liked the support essentials book because it goes in to details on administration including troubleshooting, start-up sequences, networking, etc.
    Thank you for the recommendation.

  • Do I need to change boot disk partition types - if so how?

    I set my boot disk up with several partitions, one of which is the Apple_UFS partition type. I now want to be able to use if for Mac data files - pdfs, word docs, etc. (I'm running 10.4.11 on a powerpc - when I can afford an Intel macbook, I'll upgrade to Leopard).
    I have some questions:
    1) Will puttting Mac files on a Apple_UFS volume cause problems (rsource & data forks in files)? (If its OK, then skip to Q6 &Q7 which I'd like to know for future reference).
    2) Should I change the partition type (to Apple_HFSX)? There's no data on it now, so that's not a problem.
    3) Disk Utility won't let me change partition type, only change the name. Diskutil has the command " eraseVolume format name device", but I suspect that format is the current format, not a new format - please correct me if I'm wrong.
    4) pdisk interactive mode has the "t" command which looks like what I want.
    5) after the partition type is changed, I presume I then need to use newfs_hfs -
    6) I am confused about the device/partition name - "diskutil -l" shows "/dev/disk0" with the partition I want to change as "disk0s11". "pdisk - l" shows "/dev/rdisk0" and the partition number as 11. The "newfs_hfs -h" gives an example of "newfs_hfs -v Untitled /dev/rdisk0s7". So in my case, is my device "/dev/rdisk0s11"??
    7) I have an external firewire drive that also is partitioned. "pdisk -l" and "diskutil list" give different outputs - partitions 1-9 are the same on both (Apple stuff), but pdisk show several "Apple_Free" partitions that diskutil ignores - pdisk has 23 total partitions, hdutil has 18. So which number do you use for the disk-identifier?
    Thanks for any help on this confusing matter.

    The regular versions of PSE 10 have the same kind of automatic updating (just go to Help>Updates and let the updater do its thing) that full Photoshop has. You can update the raw converter in the app store version, but since apple requires that everything in app store programs has to live within the app package itself, the file paths are different, so unless adobe updates the whole program so you can update through the app store, the adobe updater doesn't know what to do. You can do it manually, but it's kind of complicated to dig everything out of the adobe update, not as simple as it was in older versions of PSE.
    This thread over at the adobe forum gives you the general process for updating the app store version:

  • Can't boot into Windows after splitting Mac partition with Disk Utility

    Hi everyone,
    I installed Windows 8 with BOOTCAMP, creating a large 871 GB partition with a smaller 127 GB partition for Windows. After installing Windows, I then went back to Disk Utility to shrink the Mac partition and add two new partitions, one for storage and another blank, hoping to use it to install Linux into one day.
    I did that, and now Windows doesn't boot. A Windows blue screen tells me I need to use the Windows DVD to repair it.
    I tried to use Disk Utility to delete the two new partitions I made and grow the Mac partition back to the max size of 871 GB. But it doesn't let me do this. The Disk Utility log doesn't report an error and thinks it worked but the partition stays the same size. However if I make the partition a little smaller, like 870 GB then it works. I'm wondering if the Recovery partition is hiding there and preventing me from fully expanding the Mac partition.
    What can I do?
    Here's what I get if I type in sudo gpt -r -vv show disk0:

    Kappy,
    I can boot into OS X just fine so if possible, I'd like to avoid reformatting everything. If you know of a way I can add more than 2 partitions with OS X and Boot Camp, please let me know. As far as I know, rEFInd can recognize more than two partitions, but I don't think it can edit partitions on a GPT / hybrid MBR system. Or am I wrong?

  • Can't boot into Mac Partition

    I started out with a simple error in iTunes whenever I tried to update my genius. The error was the following:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-9812). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    I read on apples support page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3222 that I needed to delete my VeriSign certificates. However, there were no certificates in the "login" section of my keychain, only in the "system root" section. I tried to delete the root Verisign Certificates but couldn't.
    Next I read that I could clear my cache and that would help, so I cleared my system cache and deleted my cookies in Safari. Didn't help.
    So I reset my login keychain several times and nothing happened. I decided to restart my computer, and I was able to access the login screen. However, when I entered my username and password they didn't work so I couldn't log into my account.
    Since I have a windows partition, I booted up into windows and downloaded a program called MacDrive 8. I looked in my keychain folder under /Users/username/Library/Keychains and discovered that I had several "login.keychain" files. The first was named "login.keychain", the others were named "loginrenamed1.keychain", "loginrenamed2.keychain", and "loginrenamed3.keychain".
    Other files in the folder were "MicrosoftIntermediateCertificates" and ".fl62323D2F" and ".flA6A9AF81" in case you needed to know.
    I decided to copy the three "loginrenamed#.keychains" to my desktop (and remove them from the keychain folder) and then reboot. This is where my major problem started. I received an error on the white screen with the apple logo on it. It said "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again". I did and it came up with the same error.
    I logged back into the windows partition (by holding down "option" at the startup screen and selecting my windows drive) and put the renamed keychains back in their original folder. However, when I rebooted onto mac partition I get the same error at the startup screen, even though I placed the renamed keychain files back into their original folder.
    This is the error:

    I recently found out all that I should have entered my Snow Leopard DVD and reset the password on my account. However, since I heard about this after this error occurred, when I try to reset my password it say there are no users on my Macintosh HD to reset the password for.
    On the disk I tried disk recovery, but at the end of the recovery process it said that the disk couldn't be repaired and that I needed to back up my data and reinstall the OS.
    I realized in the error that there is a missing kext file. Is it possible to download this file and place it in its right location on the hard drive?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    And this is what you need to do, except the message almost certainly said to reformat the volume, not just to reinstall the OS. All the other stuff you did somehow damaged the file system of the Mac partition, so replacing a missing kext file will not help.

  • My external hard drive appears in bootcamp but not on my mac partition

    This is intriguing. I own a macbook pro and run osx 10.6.8
    I recently bought a new 1 tb hard drive and partitioned it. (300G for time machine and another for 700G for random things). It was working fine until I tried logging onto my bootcamp partition. I couldn't edit any files (due to the format of the drive), so I decided to relog back onto my mac parititon. Now the disk is grayed out in disk utility, under a different name and a different format type. I can read the files on my windows partition, but I cannot even access the drive on my mac partition. This drive is rather big, and I have no idea how I would even begin bcking it up... ( i don't have any other drives this large..)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!!

    You wrote: "It's definitely formatted for windows...I have Disk Warrior, but it doesn't see my drive "DiskWarrior only works on disks in Mac OS formats, e.g. "Mac OS Extended" (aka HFS Plus or HFS+), "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." It won't fix disks in MS-DOS/FAT32 format.
    There are PC-specific disk utilities, akin to DiskWarrior for Mac, so if you have a PC as well, a PC disk utility might help repair the directory corruption if run from a PC.
    External drives, whether they're formatted for PCs or Macs, can be subject to the same causes of directory corruption discussed in See my "Data corruption and loss: causes and avoidance" FAQ. Some of those causes have nothing to do with hardware failure and many are preventable.

  • Is it possible to resize a mac partition from windows?

    Here's what's going on. I originally wanted to use Disk Utility to do this, which is clearly the easy way to do things, but my computer is so slow that Disk Utility immediately becomes unresponsive upon wanting to resize -any- partition. The windows side works fine though, it isn't slow as crap. Is there a way to resize the mac partition from windows (HFS+)? Any possible way? Even crazy ones? I'm open to suggestions.
    Oh yeah, and in case you want to know...my Mac Mini just randomly started getting really, really slow, so slow in fact, that now my old iMac from 1999 is faster (it doesn't even have ANY RAM!). I tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, multiple times, booting into safe mode takes forever, but I left it for awhile and it finished. Almost worked, the finder showed up quicker than usual, but then it reverted back to it's slow self again once I opened Disk Utility. I tried booting into single user mode and typing /sbin/fsck -fy, and it's so slow, that it couldn't even do that! It got stuck at checking libraries or something, for hours, and i could type things in still, but it wouldn't recognize any commands (ie fsk - fy). I also cannot replace the RAM because it is an older mac mini and those things are hard as f*** to repair, trust me, i've tried. The weirdest part of all of this has to be that this is the computer that we DON'T download many apps onto, so it most likely isn't bloatware, adware, a virus or something else. We download most stuff to our MacBook, and go to the sketchy websites on it as well (it really should be the other way around, the mac mini would be around 3x less expensive to replace, it's just that it's the family computer). And that's always slow, but this surpassed it (btw, the laptop is a year or so older). I do not have the installation disk.
    Can someone help? Mainly about the first thing...please. The second thing is hopeless, I will need to get a new computer pretty soon, and these macs don't last as long as they used to I guess, we'd most likely get a quality Windows PC to replace it, this has been a disappointment. I'm just trying to get a little more life out of it with Linux, maybe a year or two. That's what i've done with my old iMac. Runs GREAT. Especially for a 13 year old computer. The thing is, my folks don't want me to completely eliminate the mac partition even though it's virtually unusuable.

    I'm not really understanding what the end goal was. But in case anyone else comes across the thread, neither the built-in Windows volume resizing utility nor any 3rd party Windows resizing utility should be used to resize either the Windows partition or the Mac OS partition. Invariably they all manipulate the NTFS volume in such a way that the secondary GPT is corrupt, the primary GPT is rendered invalid, and only correctly alter the MBR. It's a recipe for data loss.
    Conversely, while Disk Utility can resize a Mac OS volume, it cannot resize an NTFS volume. With Lion and Mountain Lion, upon using Boot Camp Assistant there are already four partitions: EFI System, Mac OS, Recovery HD, and Windows. There is no more room for a fifth partition in the MBR partition scheme, and if you try to add one, Disk Utility will apparently let you and render Windows unbootable (because Disk Utility adds the fifth partition to the GPT, but can't add it to the MBR, and instead removes the hybrid MBR needed for Windows support and replaces it with a PMBR.)
    So in effect this is not to be done except with 3rd party utilities.

  • Boot camp can't view Mac partition

    Hi guys. So heres my problem. I have a late 2012 27" Imac with a 3TB fusion drive, and I have boot camp successfully installed with Windows 8 (currently).
    So my problem is when i'm booted into Windows, I cannot view my Mac partition at all. From what I understand, Apple have included HFS drivers which should enable me to at least view my Mac HDD when booted into windows, and the drivers are installed properly, however I still cannot even see my Mac HDD.
    I have searched far and wide for possible solutions or even an explination as to why this isn't working for me, with no prevail. From what I understand, I think it might be the fusion drive which is preventing the reading capability. All I know is that i've tried almost everything (MacDrive etc.) and nothing works for me, I just ultimately want to be able to access my Mac HDD when im booted into Windows.
    I have also tried on Windows 7 but I end up with the same problem.
    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
    Thanks guys, any help will be appreciated!

    I believe that you have already answered your own question without realizing it.
    You indicated that yoru MacOS partition is on a Fusion Drive.  If that is the case, then I do not believe that it is supported by Boot Camp, and you won't be able to access it.  If you double check teh Boot Camp documentation, I believe it should clarify that.  Fusion Drives are new technology from Apple (within the last year or so) and the technology is not really available to third parties yet, so other drivers like MacDrive, or HFS+ For Windows from Paragon won't have the ability to access the Fustion Drive until they either license the technology from Apple, ot attempt to reverse engineer it for themselves...
