Can't Access Windows and Storage Paritions

I've been trying to figure out how to access partitions on my system other than the Arch Linux partition. I am currently using KDE and I suspect the problem my arise from here. If I just boot into a console or open up one with Ctrl+Alt+F2, I can manually mount and access all drives. Additionally, if I am logged into KDE as root, I can still access all drives. The problem only appears when I attempt to access the drives as a user. I have given the user all administrative privileges. When I click on the drive to access it, however, Dolphin prompts me for a password. Naturally, I enter the password I use for the root user but that seems to be the wrong password. After a few more attempts with different passwords, I get an error saying:
"An error occurred while accessing '60.0 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
I don't know why I would be blocked from accessing this drive especially since I have the root password.

It's asking for your user password; not the root password.
Is your user account in the sudo group?

You have to pay for online storage, someone has to pay to keep the lights on. As far a getting it on the Finder sidebar, you did something wrong. That is where mine resides, see below.

I can't manage file and storage services in server manager.

I have a windows 2012 R2 server. I had turned on the file and storage services role and was able to configure a single share in server manager. A few days later I wanted to create another share but when I select file and storage services within server manager
I get the message at the top that says The server has not been queried for data since it appeared offline. Also there are no shares listed. Even though the shared folder that I already created is available from other computers.
If I try to create a file share anyway I am asked to choose a server to create the share on and the server appears in the list with a status of offline.
Now this may seem like an obvious connection issue however, I am trying to configure the server locally, not over the network. I can manage other services in server manager just fine. I have WDS and WSUS roles installed and can be configured with server
manager just fine. I only have a problem with file and storage services.
There are no errors in the event log.
I tried to remove the file and storage services role from the server but as soon as I uncheck the box for file and storage services I get a pop up windows that says:
The validation process found problems on the server from which you want to remove features. The selected features cannot be removed from the selected server. click ok to select different featres.
I lists validation results that simply state the name of the server and says "storage services cannot be removed."
How can I get file and storage services working again?

Hi,
How many servers are there in the list? If the offline serve is a remote server, please reboot the remote server to see the result. In the meantime, please new a shared folded on the local server in Windows Explorer to see if the issue still exists.
Please refer to the article below to share a folder with server manager.

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

I have an iMac OS 10.9.5 - Every time I turn on my system I get the message that it can not access icloud and to fix it using iCloud preferences. I do not want to access or use iCloud, how do I get the message to discontinue?

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S. Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer. It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced. NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey). I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up). I can only access internet via the phone through the USB. This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
Any recommendations on how to recify? I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library... and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

:)- I canceled the update from Snowleopard to Lion by cleaning my keys ^^. Hit the wrong key i thing. Now i'm very weird ...only can start in Windows and dont know how to get my Lion Update now...Cant start in Mac OS X (Snowleopard) now :((

Hey Folks...i'm totally ****** off !

< Edited By Host >

Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

After installing Yosemite upgrade, can't access documents and files

I installed the Yosemite upgrade without making a proper backup first, not realizing what a major upgrade this is. During the install, I was prompted to create a new user account. Now that the upgrade is complete, when signed in as the new user, I can see my files and documents listed in a Device called “Guest’s MacBook Pro,” but when I try to access them, I’m told I don’t have permission to see the folders' contents.
I should add that I bought this machine used, and I have always used it under the name “Guest.”
Please help me access my stuff! Thanks in advance.

Can't install windows azure storage sdk on windows phone 8

From Visual studio 2013 ultimate, I opened Nuget package manager console and typed following command for my windows phone 8 solution:
install-package windowsazure.storage
And I got the following error:
install-package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ConfigurationManager 1.8.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or
content files that
are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
At line:1 char:1
I get the same problem using UI version of package manager as well.
Did something change with the newer version of windows azure storage?

The package you are trying to install does not include the Windows Phone library. Please use the following command instead:
Install-Package WindowsAzure.Storage-Preview -Pre
Thanks for this. It worked for me. Can I just add, for those that don't know how to run this command. You go to tools > Library package manager > package manager console then paste in the command and hit enter.
Thanks again!

Can't access photos and videos from Library for uploading to net or iMovie

I've been downloading my pics from my Nikon L18 for the last 6 months but cannot access them from the library itself; for instance if I'm trying to upload a pic onto Facebook or trying to import my videos into iMovie. When I'm in iPhoto I can see the pics through my albums, but they won't show up under Events or Library. Am I importing something incorrectly?

If you can see photos in an Album then they are in the Library. Events and Photos are just different ways of viewing the Library. It’s simply not possible to see pics in an Album that are not in a Library.
Or are you trying to access files in the Finder?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Can't access CMC and infoview on BO edge series 3.1

Hello gurus,
I have just installed BO edge series 3.1, immediate moment after installation, I can open CMC console, but after I 've done other operation on the computor, CMC can't open now, also I can't open infoview, error shows " can't establish connection to server", but other features work well. how can I resolve this issue?
Many thanks,

I will clarify following facts:
(1) I used "typical installation " for Edge3.1
(2) all are installed on windows XP
(3) I have restarted computor several time, CMC and infoview can't be launched either.
(4) other features work very well.
(5) after I installed Edge 3.1, CMC and infoview were reached for one time, after that, I installed crystal report 2008, this report designer can't be started, so unstalled it. then try to access CMC and infovew, it failed.
Many thanks,

I can't access facebook and twitter in my new macbook pro.

I can't access twitter or facebook on my mac. I just recently bought my mac two weeks ago but since two days ago it hasn't been able to access twitter nor facebook.I already tried using safari, google chrome or firefox but none of them could access it. It goes to connection time out everytime after I log in. I don't know what to do anymore. I already tried updating the software but no luck.

Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. If the above does not work, try the following:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.

Can't access windows or dv6t-3000 recovery partition after unix boot menu removal.

I have a dv6t-3000 laptop running Win 7 Home premium 64 bit; my son had put a unix partition on it. Since I tried to bypass the unix boot menu using MBR (the idea of my brother, the IT professional) the laptop just gives a unix error message at startup (error: no such partition. grub rescue> _) If I hit escape while starting up I get the startup menu including F11 System Recovery but Fn+F11 (it's a laptop) does nothing and hitting the F11 key itself just sends me back to the Unix error message.
Shamefully I never made a set of recovery discs; how can I boot into Recovery? Would the Recovery USB flash disk utility work, or screw things up further? Any help would be appreciated!

Sadly, I must recommend that you purchase a recovery disc set.
Playing around with Linux ( probably ReiserFS) and MBR does bad things to the Windows boot sector. One option is to reinstall GRUB. The second option is If your brother can find a Windows 7 64-bit repair disc for you, then you may be able to repair the boot sector. That should make the original Windows 7 installation useable again. Otherwise you will need the recovery disk set to restore all functionality, including the recovery partition and the F11 recovery manager access.
Sorry to bear bad news.
