Can I configure a Raid 5 disc through my mac

I'm planning to buy a NAS and wanted to configure RAID 5. Does OS X have a built in configurator application?

There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
Good Luck

    No.
    Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

    hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

    it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
    same for SMTP

    You cannot use DVD SP to burn a Blu-Ray disc. But you can use the latest version of FCP to create Blu-Ray discs. There is a tutorial here;

  • Can an external video camera connect through a Mac to Apple TV?

    The business has a conference room that they would like use for video conferencing. They have a flat screen TV and asked if they could mount a video camera above the TV, that is connected to a MacBook Pro or MacMini, and use the external camera for video conferencing. They wouldn't be using it with FaceTime, it's a third party video conferencing program. They just want to know if they could mirror the video conference call through Apple TV when using an external camera?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your assistance, but I spent quite some time researching this before posting, and the post you link to (which I've already read) doesn't actually answer my question, that person is asking about his wireless speakers receiving individual sound channels through airplay. Other discussions, which I've also looked at, seem inconclusive.
    I was really posting in the hopes of finding anyone who had personal experience of trying to play a fullscreen, 5.1 surround video file using airplay mirroring from their mac to their Apple TV, and if they received 5.1 sound.
    Thanks again for your help though.

  • Can i play blu ray discs on my mac

    Some people tell me I can and some are saying I can not. I can't find it anywhere can someone help?

    The built-in drive cannot read Blu-Ray.
    The software that comes on your Mac cannot play them even if the drive could read them.
    But a third-party solution to each part of the problem is available.

  • Can I play and record minecraft on a mac pro

    I am currently playing minecraft on a windows pc with a 1GB graphics card. My graphics card has crashed while playing basic minecraft. I want to buy minecraft so I can do more and also install HD resource packs, but are unable to because of my computer. I have been advised to buy the new Apple Mac Pro, as it has a 6GB graphics card, but am wondering if minecraft will run on it and if so, how well. I also want to record minecraft and put it on youtube, but have noticed that most of the people who play minecraft have pc's to play and record it on. I have also noticed that mojang, who make minecraft are using pc's. Is there anybody who is using an Apple to play and record minecraft and if so, could you let me know how well it works and if you have uploaded it to youtube, please give me your link or username. I am looking at buying the new Mac Pro to run minecraft but am wondering if it will do what I want it to do and if anyone has any advise.
    Thankyou.

    You can only PLAY Blu-ray discs on a Mac by using one of several software's that untilize a Blu-ray license on the internet. What this means is that you must have a fast internet connection to play the disc on your machine. Apple refuses in support Blu-ray with their OS, so there's no way one can play BRD using their computers software in a stand-a-lone manner, like Windows users can.  This is one of those reasons for the love and hate relationships Apple creates  for controlling the market to their advantage, at a loss of one of the most common entertainment formats to their user base. They could easily support the format, they simply chose not to either out of stubborness or for money reasons. The latter makes you winder when they have so much of it now.
    Toast software, on the other hand, has the ability to burn Blu-ray discs, so you can at least use BRD for back-up.  You can also rip movies, etc. I purchased a small and nifty portable BR burner from Sony, Model BDX-S600U that was fairly cheap at the time for $149. It's now $178 at Amazon. It only interfaces witha computer through dual USB though (one is for additonal power), so you can't use it with your TV.  I use this device on my MacBook Air when I want to burn or play DVD's. I have tested the machine and it plays DVD movies and burns just fine. I've been so busy though, that I haven't actualy burned a BR data disc yet, but I know the Toast software supports it. Moreover, hard drives have become so cheap, that burning to BR isn't the best BU, but still uasable and great for mailing large files.
    Unfortunately, until Apple gets their HOOTA we may never see BR support because Tim Cook may just follow Steve Jobs lead out of respect. Yet, with new leadership, and Steve out of the way (Bless him), we may eventually see Apple support. Especially as they continue to merge iOS and OSX. I wouldn't hold your breath on it though.

  • Using a FW drive to reinstall OSX - can I use one image for all my Macs?

    I am setting up an external firewire drive to allow me to reinstall from the drive rather than from the DVDs. The question I have is whether I need to make separate partitions for each Mac I have from their original discs or whether I can use the same install discs for different Macs?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hello Sherman,
    I use an External FW drive just like that, I have a partition that is the Installer 10.4 - it's so much faster than using the DVD's ! - and another which is a normal install which also has DMG's of our SOE for easily and quickly wiping machines and installing everything at once...
    If you have a number of computers - I've got over 200 to look after - a FW drive with installs and soe's and Disk Utils is an absolute must have !

  • Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

    Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

    Apple doesn't create installation disks for OSX 10.7 and later. You can create your own disk/USB bootable installer, but this requires downloading the installation package from the app store first.
    1) Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try directly connecting via ethernet port, versus Wifi, if you are experiencing a weak Wifi Signal or intermediate loss of connectivity
    2) From the App Store, go to the Menu Bar, Store > Sign out.
    3) Navigate to the /Applications folder and drag the partially completed download of the installer to the trash.
    4) Open the App store, sign back in, and redownload Mavericks.

  • Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

    I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR.  I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0). 
    If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

    The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
    And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
    The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

  • How can i configure advance payment to vendors through cash jounal

    how can i configure advance payment to vendors through cash jounal pls its urgent for me kindly help me out

    HI,
    I think u need not configure anyting new for this, you can use the existing Business Tran. Type K and rename it as Vendor Advance for separate identity. You can do the normal FBCJ posting.
    But doing this you will not have separate identity for the Advances paid.
    Thanks

    Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
    A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
    Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
    Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
    No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
    Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
    Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
    Notes
    The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
    The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
    All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
    Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

    Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
    Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
    See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

    Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

  • Disc icons on RAID disc

    I just mounted two seagate 500Gb discs on my Mac Pro. I used the raid option to make them work as backup but so far I haven't started adding any data
    I'd like however to change the icon of the disk from the default to something else. Although I've done this quite a few times with various other external drtives, I think that I can't change the icon of the raid group. Can I change the icon or am I stuck with the default?

    Wait, case may not be closed...
    You say you configured the RAID to work as a backup. There is no RAID configuration that can possibly be used as a backup. So I am hoping you are not relaying on a mirrored RAID set as a backup.
    The reason a mirrored RAID is not a backup, is because no data is ever retained when a file is changed or deleted. That is, the process of making a change to a file, or deleting a file is replicated on all drives that make up the RAID set. If you accidently delete your checkbook data, it's gone, you can't get it back from your RAID set. If you need to look at files to see what you were doing two months ago, and you have made changes to those files since then, poof, it is gone, no way to return to that data.
    Mirrored RAID is not a backup. It's main purpose is to provide redundancy of hardware to insure that if a drive should fail that you can continue to operate with all data intact, as you make any needed hardware repairs or replacements. Mirrored RAIDS are to hep insure the maximum amount of uptime on your data storage system.
    So if your intent was to use a mirrored RAID array for backup, please reconsider. If you were instead using the mirrored array as it was intended, please forgive my slight rant about what mirrored RAIDs are for.
    Thanks,
    Tom N.

  • Can you move a software raid 1 from one mac to another

    I have a 2 disc software raid 1 on my powermac and I want to move it to my mac pro. Does anyone know if I can do this?

    It appears that in Mac OS X 10.4, and again in the transition to 10.7, RAID format may have undergone dramatic changes. If you are trying to move a RAID array across those boundaries, you may not have the best results moving the drives directly.

  • Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

    Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
    I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up.  I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
    Can you help?

    Hi,
    The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
    You may find the steps listed below:
    Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
    Click Print & Fax.
    Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
    Click on Printer Setup
    Then select Utility
    Click Open Printer Utility
    Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
    Click the Networking tab
    Then click Wireless from the list on the left
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection  depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
    Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
    Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
    Please let me know of any issue,
    Shlomi
