Deployment to an UEFI enabled system using a custom Format and Partition Disk Task does not work

Hello all,
I know that MDT 2012 Update 1 has the necessary intelligence to create the GPT partition etc. when the Gather Process detects that the system is UEFI enabled. However i wanted to configure the Format and Parition task myself, so i copied the default one,
disabled it and just added a new one with the following configuration.
Disk Number 0
Disk Type = GPT
i then added
EFI, Partition Type = EFI, 500 MB, file system FAT32
MSR, 128 MB,
OSDisk 40 GB, PRIMARY
i then start the Win8 x64 Task Sequence , it formats the disks, it applies the image, but then when it reboots i cannot boot.
What am i doing wrong here ?

Use the default format and partition step to format disk0 partition 1 in multiple disks sutiation

As we know,we need to disable the default format and partition step in ts to let mdt deploy os on C and leave the other partitions stay safe when there is only one disk on pc，and the way of installing operation system is logical drive letter store in a varible.
But what if there are 2 disks on pc，and for a record the disk 0 is always the OS disk,don't need to confirmed this.How can we modify the format and partition step to format only C on disk0 under this condition?then lead the mdt to do the rest deployment
by itself.
Thanks

You are pushing up against the design limits of MDT, and the more complex and/or arbitrary the disk configuration the harder it is for MDT to perform installations.
If you want to maintain the *existing* disk configuration, and just update the OS present, then the recommended course of action is to run MDT from *within* the OS (cscript.exe
\\server\deploymentshare$\scripts\litetouch.vbs), not from WinPE. When you do this, it's called a "refresh" scenario. MDT can capture the user files via USMT, and it knows which
partitions to use, because it's launched from within the OS itself.
Disabling the default Format and Partition step has other unintended consequences.

Switching browser using IE tab plus - the Norton Identity Safe does not work

Using Firefox 4.0.1 and Norton 360 5.1.0.29 - which has recently been "fixed" to work together (by Norton).
When using IE Tab Plus to switch rendering engines (Firefox to IE) the Norton Identity Safe does not work by not pre filling user names and passwords to sites that are registered in the Norton Safe and also for any new sites does not offer the option to add a new site to the Norton safe . . . . . is this a Norton or Firefox or IE Tab issue? And has anyone else had this problem?

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Using the spacebar for starting and stopping a clip does not work

Hi!
The spacebar for starting and stopping the playing of a clip in the viewer of a sequence in the timeline has a live of its own. Without changing any setings, it sometimes works, but mostly not. Is there a seeting, I have not figured out yet? While in a session with Final Cut Express, it does not change its behavior. It starts with a working or not working spacebar. The same applies to the arrows to go back and for a frame, or back and for a clip. If the spacebar does not work, the arrows do not work either.

thanks everybody. But my spacebar and arrow keys still do not work.
As uggested, I deleted the preferences in the library (which is also what is suggested by fcpbook.com/Misc1.html)
I am used working with Final Cut for some time now. And just got myself a new iMac and the program. So everything is quite new. I did not change any settings so far.
The first 2 days everything was fine.
Then, one day, the spacebar and the arrow key stopped working. Not in the middle of a session, but when I started the FCE new. Inbetween, it worked for some time. Now, the spacebar is gone again.
It's just the function of playing the clip that does not work. In whatever window (timeline, viewer). The function of the spacebar to make a space (for example in te name of clip or in a text file) works fine.
I would not mind the spacebar that much, but I miss the arrow keys to go from frame to frame, or from clip. It's strange.

I just got a new system for my Mac OS and the internet sharing is not working.

The "Sharing" in the System Preferences looks way different and has screen charing, scanner sharing, remote login, remote management, remote apple events, and bluetooth sharing with checks near it. I once connected to my laptop, but it said something like an IP address needed to be verified. I then put in an address and they gave me one but it's still not working. Please help! How do I connect the internet?

Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
Please be clear.

I have deleted my sons apple id and data from his old phone by accident as i thought i was resetting it for me to use and now he has lost everything on his new phone and his id etc does not work. Can someone please explain how i am able to retrieve

Can someone please shed some light on this???
I thought i was resetting my son's iphone 4 so that I could use it. But I seem to have erased his icloud/apple id and all of his data from his new phone too. His Apple ID doesnt work and cant be accessed as it now says it is disabled. I have tried the iforgot.apple.com website without success and have no idea how to rectify. I have requested a password change to his email address but that is not working either.
Please help?

That sounds confusing. First off, don't be too worried. There's practically no way to actually delete an Apple ID or it's purchase history. You should be able to get to it back somehow. Secondly, that's likely something that you'll need to talk to a real person on the phone for since it likely requires you to explain that you need access on behalf of your son, (who probably just set some security questions or an email address that you didn't know he put in.) Just call the appropriate AppleCare phone line (800-APL-CARE in the USA, or see the link below for other countries) and tell them you want to talk about an iCloud account security question.

How can I perform the LINEST function using the new version of Numbers? The old method of using "command enter" to complete the array function does not work. Please help ASAP!!!

LINEST function using Numbers for Mac

Thank you for your help. This page is somewhat helpful, but I still don't quite understand. I am using the Numbers program, and my assignment calls for me to use the LINEST function to return a set of 10 values.
When I googled how to do this, a lot of pages mentioned hitting "command+enter" to complete the array function, but they were using an older version of Numbers and it doesn't do anything when I try it in the new version. I tried using "Index" with LINEST, and i've managed to get about 5 values out of it.

Bluetooth Icon disappears and no Bluetooth in System Preferences. Can anyone help please. Have reset PRAM and SMC, but this does not work at all.

This issue happened randomly. I was working away and the bluetooth just disappeared. The first time this happened, I reset the SMC and it solved the issue. Now, nothing seems to work including removing the bluetooth plist file. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Custom Color coding of SharePoint Calendar does not work on a site collection that uses olso master page

Hi,
I created a color coded calendar following instructions below specified at the below URL.
http://davidlozzi.com/2012/06/20/customize-the-sharepoint-calendar-colors/
however, My Site collection uses oslo master page and because it does not show quick launch, I don't see the legend of the color coded colors.
Is it possible to make above solution work with oslo master page?
Please help...
techie

Hi,
Can you provide a screenshot of your page about how the calendar looks like in your environment?
As you said, “I don't see the legend of the color coded colors”, is it mean that the list of overlays on the right side of the page disappears when applying oslo master
page?
In my environment, after applying the oslo master page and adding overlay to the current Calendar view, it will be like this:
It turns out that the list of overlays still there.
Feel free to reply if this is not what you really mean.
Thanks

Try to use Headset for Skype on G5, but microphone does not work! Need help

I recently installed skype on my G5, bought a headset, can hear people talking to me, but nobody can hear me. It's not an USB or bluetooth headset, but with 2 plugins (sorry, i'm austrian...).
Does anybody know what setups to change that it works?
I try the system configuration and set up line in and line out...
Pleas help!

I have used a headset with the 2 connections. In order to connect I use the Griffin iMic as my adapter. Every once in awhile I get the 2 plugs in backwards and have to switch them.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/
The other thing I have had happen is that my machine seems to auto mute when I switch things around. Sometimes I have had to go in to the System or program preferences to change the settings. For some reason the system has muted me or the program I am using did not keep the previous settings due to having the headset unplugged/replugged etc.

HT204053 How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud used for my ipad and iphone? Phone does not allow changing icloud ID once established.

How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud I use for with my 4s and ipad? Can seem to change her icloud ID to match mine.

I can tell you how to do this but first wanted to be sure that's what you want to do. You would then be sharing the same iCloud account and any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) would then be merged and the merge data would appear on her phone and your iPad (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts on your phone). You would also both be backing up your devices to the same account, sharing the 5GB of free storage (assuming you're both backing up to iCloud).
There's an alternative setup that would allow her to set up your iCloud account on her phone as her primary account and just turn on photo stream in that account (allowing your to share you photo stream), then set up a secondary iCloud account on her phone that would sync her Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders. She would still have to back up her phone to your account, as well as syncing Safari, Documents and Find My iPhone (all of which can only be done in the primary account). Also, her mail would be fetch, not push as push email is only supported in the primary account.
I suppose a third option is to leave things as they are and share you photos with each other using shared photo streams.
Let me know what you want to do and I'll give you the steps.

We have an applescript that will batch print InDesign CS6 files from a folder to a laser printer using an InDesign print preset. The script does not work in OS X Yosemite. The script errors out with the print preset. Any thoughts?

tell application "Finder"
activate
set thefolder to choose folder with prompt "Select a Folder with InDesign Files to be Printed" as text
set thePath to thefolder as text
set the selected_items to every item of folder thefolder
if the selected_items is {} then
beep
display dialog "Please select a folder with InDesign files before running this script." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
end if
repeat with aFile in selected_items
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
activate
with timeout of 600 seconds
set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
open aFile
tell document 1
tell print preferences
set active printer preset to "Catalog Pages"
set page range to all pages
end tell
print without print dialog
close saving no
end tell
end timeout
--might need this delay
--delay 10
set user interaction level of script preferences to interact with all
end tell
end repeat
tell application "Finder"

Hi
After I put a small delay in as shown, your code ran fine, tested on about twenty ID files, using ID CC 2014, OSX 10.10.2
tell document 1
delay 0.5 -- delay added
tell print preferences
set active printer preset to "Catalog Pages"

My network drives crashed and I was able to restore one with the exact same name and login. The second one I also created using the same name and login but it does not find the files when I click.

I get Connection failed when I click on the photo in IPhoto. This window keeps popping up and I have to force quit IPhoto.

iPhoto tracks referenced files using Aliases and this works just fine when the Library and the photos are on the same volume. However, Aliases won't survive being moved from one volume to another. This is why experienced users on here recommend against using Referenced Libraries in general, and in particular when the library and files are on different volumes.
Try repair the aliases with an app like FileBuddy If that fails then I'm afraid you'll need to do it manually for every photo in the Library, unfortunately.

Trying to Remove iTunes software components because of 11.1.4 update error and using Windows 7 uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support does not work. Any suggestions?

Had error while updating Itunes to ver 11.1.4. I had 11.1.3.8 previously. Following instructions for Removing and Reinstalluing iTunes and other software components. Was able to uninstall iTunes and Apple Software Update, but attempts to do the same under Control Panel failed for Apple Mobile Device Support (ver 7.0.0.117). Directioons say to uninstall components in order given so I cannot continue until Apple Mobile Device Support is removed. Any suggestions?

Try reparing and then remove again if the repair is successful, otherwise move on to the next step. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more information.
