Disc (Volume) recognition issue

What would cause a Volume or Drive to not be recognized by Startup Discs or Disc Utility?

For Disk Utility, a dead or dying HD, and if it's an external, the Power Supply is suspect, as well as the bridge chipset.
For Startup Disk pref pane, just no recognizable & bootable OS.

5s Volume control issues

Anyone having volume control issues? My wife's 5s (less than a month old) is having issues with the up volume. If she mutes it using the down volume, it won't go back up. I can get it to work if I hold the volume a long time and it eventually comes back. Or last time i had to remove her case, hold the volume and release several times before it finally kicked in. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
Please test in other computer to see if the issue persists, it may be caused by the bad output channel.
But for better solution, I recommend you go to MSDN forum for further help.

Printing colour recognition issue with illustrator created design.

I have a macbook pro with retina display and illustrator Cs 6.
For some reason, when I tried to print my illustrator designed work at the professional printing service.
it said there are colour recognition issue. I wasn't sure if that is anything to do with the Illustrator Cs6 or to do with the retina display or the printing service.
I would like to know if anyone have the same issue, and how do you resolve it.
Thanks.

Ahhh,
The colour mode is websafe HEX is the design work by the looks of it and the print is using CMYK mode. Try changing the document's colour mode to CMYK from RGB and see if the blue looks darker. It should do.
Take a look at the image I've attached. I've created both RGB and CMYK variations of the hex colour #0099BA.
I think it's just down to a difference in colour mode between digital version and print. There are some really great comparison sites available that will give you a close conversion if your matching spot and PANTONE® colours too.
Let me know if your any closer to a resolution please. Interested to see what the issue is.

Disc Volumes

We are quickly running out of disc space on our existing Disc Volume (F: Drive).
We would like to add a second Disc Volume (G:) to our Essbase server. What are the steps to begin utilizing this new disc?
It appears that I have two choices to make this happen:
1. Add the new volume to the Essbase.cfg and let Essbase decide which files to move to the new volume.
2. Manging the volumes by database. (I presume that if I unload a database, change the volume, then reload, it will move the entire database to the new volume??)
Which option is prefered. I kind of like the thought of having an entire database on one volume for simplicity sake rather than splitting across volumes.
What do I need to to prepare the new volume? Do I need to create the Hyperion/app directory structure?
Thanks for your help.

If you have a process where you can rebuild your cube from level 0 data then export that cube to disk, verify export is good.
Clear database.
Edit Storage tab, add your new disk.
Stop/start application
Reload data
Calc data

DVD Recognition Issue

I have made several home DVD's via a Sony DVD direct recorder, model VRD-MC3.
When I put the DVD in my imac, all it shows is a blue folder with VRD_MC3 and a red
circle with a in it.
My issue is that it shows no data. When I go to Get Info about the disk it is in Universal
Disk Format.
Why will it not show the contents? My ultimate goal is to use software to burn some images from my disc to my Ipod. Popcorn doesn't recognize the disk, nor do others. Is this a system issue?
Also, I'm burning these to a Sony DVD-R disc. Help!

No idea why you can't open it... maybe some protected "feature"?
When you do a Get Info on it, is the box to Ignore Ownership on this Volume checked?
Don't know if this helps, but...
I convert to DVD's using the Sony VRD MC3. I then take these clips and using handbrake or streamclip convert to mov files or mp4 files.

Secured WebDAV Mounted Volume Authorization Issues

I use a secure WebDAV mounted volume from myDisk.se and up until the latest Security Update have had zero issues being able to manipulate files and folders as I would on a normal volume. However, since the installation of the Security Update (2009-004 (PowerPC) 1.0) I find weird things happening with this mounted volume:
1) I am able to mount the secured WebDAV share using my security credentials.
2) I can create a default "untitled" folder but when I try to change its name, the WebDAV authorization dialog pops up and despite entering the same credentials (why, I am not sure as the volume has already been properly credentialed in order to be mounted), access is denied.
3) Trying to create a file within a folder on the mounted WebDAV volume I previously created pre-update causes the same authorization issue.
I have no other WebDAV shares I can try to mount from any other companies so I am not sure if this is a myDisk issue or one borne from the Security Update. I am not a .Mac/MobileMe user and that info is not filled out in System Preferences. The internal hard drive has been meticulously maintained with Disk and Permissions repair being run both before and after each and every software update installed. Likewise, the volume's structure is also checked both before and after and shows no need for repairs.
Any ideas? Perhaps there is a corrupted file somewhere that's affecting the authorizations needed by this third-party WebDAV volume?
The machine that has this problem is the last model iBook G4/1.33GHz 12" display, 1.5GB RAM, and a 100GB 5400rpm HD which replaced the stock OEM 40GB 4200rpm drive about one year ago.
I'm not willing to do an Archive and Install at this point as the loss of the WebDAV access to my online volume is not critical. Inconvenient as heck but not to the point where I'm willing (or able) stop my normal work to spend the hours it will take to get WebDAV access back.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

same problem here with webdav, I can't mount my idisk from university network on Mac Pro 10.5.3 (although it mounts fine from home network on both ibook and PMG5 10.5.3). Everything was fine with 10.5.2 and I already re-installed 10.5.3 combo. Other bugs as well with .Mac prefs (keeps crashing, sometimes it shows the available space on idisk but still no mounting, with error -35 or -8086), but .Mac sync is OK

Network Volume Permissions Issue

I am having a couple of issues with my "Data" external HD volume that I've setup as a poor-man's NAS (attached via USB to my AirPort Extreme)..
1. Lately I have been experimenting with the various media players for OS X and seeing which one works best for me (VLC, Perian + QT, and Plex). So I selected a random *.m2ts file (from a BD-rip) and then "Cmd + I" to "Get Info" for that movie. In the "Open With" drop-down menu I selected "Plex" (as Plex seems to do a better job streaming than VLC for this one particular mpeg stream file), and when I tried to change it to Plex, it reported that I could not change all files to open with such a program (which is what I was used to being able to do). I thought that was weird as I've always been able to "Change All" in the past. See screenshots for some visual cues.
As you can see below, it says "you have custom access," and I don't even have an option to "Ignore permissions on this volume"
I try to add a new user/owner, and I can't. Says "that name is not valid"
Then out of curiosity i tried to see if the subfolders in that volume are similarly jacked. yes they are!
I also noticed that I have read-only access, even if I am actually the "(unknown)" user that suppossedly has read/write abilities. Not sure if that is me or not. Now when I disconnect the "Data" volume from my Time Capsule and plug it in via USB to my MacBook, all is fine and dandy -- i can read/write, change permissions to whatever, ignore permissions on that volume, change default apps, etc.
It is almost like OS X doesn't realize that I an the owner of that external drive or something, so it tries to lock me out.
I tried some random "chown" terminal commands like the following, which i found browsing macrumors or something. Note that when I tried the second phrase, it said "chown: /Volumes/Data: Operation not permitted" Dang. So i think that this particular terminal sequence (which seems to have solved everyone else's problems in the past, will certainly not work for me). I even tried telling it that I am the "root" user, but I don't remember the command.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/Data
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/Data
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/Data
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/Data
Here is some Terminal info, if it helps:
sddacraig13:~ Anthony$ ls -la /Volumes
total 8
drwxrwxrwt@ 6 root     admin   204 Oct 31 16:44 .

sddacraig13:~ Anthony$
Any issues you guys can think of? I did clean install OS X AFTER I had originally created the USB volume "Data," but my username and everything should still be the same... I think maybe my computer name may have changed (necessary for a school thingy).
Help! I'd like to be able to write to the volume while it as attached to the network...

This fixes just the symptom.
The cause is driving me nuts.
Whenever there is a little network problem (out of hands because of ISP)...
I looses my Volumes, which is still somewhat acceptable.
What is not acceptable is, that spotlight and whatever apps mean to write something onto my shares and whenever they are not available new folders are added under /Volumes/ShareName and so fourth.
I am tired of fixing it manually.
Because when I reconnect to my shares they'd be added as /Volume/ShareName-1 then as ShareName has been created by Mac OS X natively for some Reason.
In the beginning I thought my Backupsoftware does that, or Amok Exif Sorter or whatever else Application... but shouldn't be the Standardprocedure for creating and writing data that if the folder is not found to interrupt with an exception/error or whatever.
I find it not a very amusing practise to clean up the Volumes Folder every now and then for it gets spammed with rogue mountpoints that are in reality just directories locally for the real share was missing at the time something tried to write to there...
Whenever I miss out that that happened data gets corrupted and I have to clean up the data massup by finding the differences amongst and getting the newest Version etc...
I've been reading a lot of people having this problem and everywhere is described how to clean up the mass but nowhere how or when to fix the issue that it starts with, I mean stopping Mac OS X to create duplicates on its own not being asked to do so....

Volume Control Issue (Satellite L505D-S5983)

My laptop: Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983
So here's the issue:
Just recently I've started having problems using my volume control located next to the SD card reader slot.. You know, the volume 'slider'. It's been acting rather strangely, when I try to adjust my volume it doesn't change at all from the current volume percentage that it's at... Even when I'm sliding the slider. So then, I have to go into the manual volume in my hidden icons menu to change the volume. However, after I go through this step, I am then able to use my volume 'slider' control, and it actually works.
So, I'd like to know:
A) Why this is happening?
B) Am I able to fix this issue?
C) How would I fix this issue?

ITunes volume control issue?

Ever since I updated my Mac to iTunes 8.2.1 I've noticed that the volume control in iTunes is fixed on about 40% volume. I can drag the control up or down and it changes the volume but it snaps back to where it was when I let go. I can still change the volume on my Mac but it won't go as loud as it could. Any ideas?

Hey tvas22,
I will do my best to assist you in the hopes of resolving the issue with the sound button. The steps that I would start of with first, would be to do a hard reset. I have included the document Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset.
If you are still experiencing the same issue, I would set the communication level to do nothing in the Playback devices option. I have included the steps below for you to follow.
1. Right click on the Sound icon in the System Tray
2. Click on Playback devices
3. Click on Communications
4. Click on Do nothing
5. Click Apply, and close the Window
The next step to do if you are still experiencing the same issue, would be to perform a clean boot on your Split. I have included the document Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 8). See if following these steps you are still experiencing the issue.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Best of Luck!

IPod Nano 6th Generation Volume Button Issue

The "-" volume button on my iPod Nano 6th generation is stuck in the "on" or depressed position against the case. It looks like the button either is binding against the case, or a spring-like mechanism beneath the button is broken.
Any ideas on how to fix the issue short of taking it in for a service appointment? Maybe by opening the case?
A

If you open it or have a 3rd party repair site work on it you will no longer be eligible for an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple at a price of $65/$75 (make a Genius Bar appointment before going.
You can buy the switch and replace it but be sure you are up to it. Check http://www.ifixit.com for teardown instructions.

SAP BEST PRACTISE BI-Purchasing Volume Dashboard issue

Hello,
I am working on Purchasing Volume Dashboard (from SAP BEST PRACTISE BI package), I adapted Crystal Reports sources of this dashboard so that they connect to our local database and successfully generated the Export.xls, I Imported this Export.xls file into Purchasing Volume Dashboard.xls, added and configured Live Office Connections (ticking"Refresh before components are loaded" for each Live Connections.
The issue is that when I click on PREVIEW the four components (Charts and Scorecard) don't refresh simultaneously.
I have to click once on REFRESH button to have the first component refreshed with data then to click again to have the second component refreshed then click again and again !
I don't understand why those components don't refresh in the same time !!
Did one of you ever encountered this issue ?
many thanks for your help,
Regards
Christiane

Hi,
Make sure your web service URL correct in Live Office connection and also in Xcelsius data manager.
Did you check all connection in refresh button proprties? you may try selecting "Refresh after component are Loaded" in Refresh button properties Behavior tab.
I think Xcelsius refresh are serial refresh so it may be possible that first component refresh is still in progress but you are expecting other component to refresh.
Click on "Enable Load Cursor" in data manager's Usage tab, it will give you visibility of refresh. If anything refreshing you will see hour glass.
Cheers

Disc drive & fan issues

Ok, I think I have two issues. The first one- yesterday I put a disc into the drive and it never showed up on the desktop or in finder. It was a DVD, when I opened DVD Player it didn't recognize it as having a disc in. So I pop it out, and put in a different disc, same problem. You can hear a sound that sounds like a fan, but it never did the squiggly sound like it does when its reading a disc. Today however, I pop in a cd at work, and it works fine. So does it sound like my drive is dying? This would be lame since I just had a ton of stuff replaced- the fan, the HD, the logic board, and some ribbon cable thingy...
Which sort of leads me to my second issue. I remember before I had all of that work done that you would hear the fan run on start up and at various times throughout usage, but I noticed the past couple days that I don't hear that, so does that mean my new fan isn't working or that its just super duper quiet?
Any help or thoughts on these matters would be greatly appreciated. My ibook g4 is 4 years old and I just had all that work done, it would suck if something else was broken now too, I was hoping to get a few more miles out of it before buying a new one... thanks!

Concerning the optical drive, one thing to try is to repair permissions using Disk Utility, just in case there is a permissions problem. Another thing to try is several different DVD's. It's also possible for the CD part to work, but not the DVD part. (Different lasers? I'm not sure why this may be true, but I've read about the CD and the DVD parts of the optical drive working somewhat independently.)
As for the fan, you usually don't hear it on an iBook unless the iBook really gets hot. It usually doesn't run. But you can check it with the Apple Hardware Test, which does test the fan. If you are sitting there when the fan is tested, you will hear it turn on and run for a few seconds.
Hope this helps!

6G iPod Nano Volume Spike Issue

I tried checking the thread on this matter but could not find any discussion on it. I noticed that there is a sudden spike in volume particularly when switching from one song to another. This can happen when double clicking any iPod compatible earphone (or even Apple's own) controls. It does not always occur with every track but occurs often enough about 30% of the time. Is anyone encountering any of this issue. I did not encounter this problem with my last gen iPod using the very same playlist. Thanks all in advance.

Are all of the tracks on your Nano encoded in the same format? Are there any EQ settings enabled?
Ideally, it would be nice to sync these tracks to another 7G Nano to determine if it's an issue with your particular Nano or not.

Odd volume stuck issue.

Alrighty I've had my iPhone 4 in the UK for around a week now and all in all I have no real issues with signal nor battery life (apart from that skype uses more than it did on my 3G). My only problems were getting o2 to activate it, the proximity sensor (I hang up on everyone) and a strange volume issue. Well my phone is now active and I know apple are looking to fix the proximity sensor in an update to the OS.
My problem is a strange combination of when using the iPod app watching YouTube/online video and making voice calls normally and on skype in some order the volume for everything gets stuck at maximum and stays there. The volume buttons show the volume graphic and I move it up and down with no affect on the actual volume. In videos and iPod I can slide the volume control again no affect on the volume, so then I restart the phone and voilà back to normal. Thing is now I'm having to restart it once or twice a day due to this issue.
Has anyone else experienced this and has there been anything from apple on this? I couldn't find anything and to my mind I can see it being nothing other than a software issue because of the series of events needed to cause the issue.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes, I do have same problem, as mentioned in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2541233&tstart=0. My volume does not get stuck at max but somewhere in the middle. Everything else is the same, it looks like it works but it don't change volume, although slider on screen goes up and down. After phone restart, everything goes back to normal. I also have 16 gb model iPhone4.

T3+ volume slice issue

I have two new T3+ arrays setup as separate systems
Both have the same issue. Both have the latest advised release of the T3+ firmware.
I set them to be a Raid 1+0 mirror (4 drives mirrored
to 4 drives) with striping across all "4" drives. The nineth drive is a hot spare.
I then setup the new Volume Slicing and divided the large 250GB or so virtual disk into muliple 36 GB virtual subdrives. The last "subdrive" in the T3 falls short and ends up being around 24GB. I fdisked all the drives and broke them into standard slices for what I need.
I rebooted my solaris 9 ue420 and it sees all the "drives". I can format all the 36GB drives. When I format the 24GB drive, I get back an error message about mismatching disk geometry and the format aborts. The format on any subdrive never takes more than a second
because the T3 basically overrides the function, but usually I can do a worst case verify on the subdrives
Obviously what the T3 controller is reporting back to
the OS does not match what the drives geometry
really is and things dont match right.
I am trying to avoid the software overhead on my UE420 of Veritas or Online Disksuite volume managers for these arrays and want to have the
sparc processor in the T3 handle all the mirroring and volume slicing of the 72GB drives in these arrays.
Anyone seen this type of issue before with a volume slices T3 array?
(this has also been cross posted on the Talk to the sysop forum. apologies in advance for the redundancy)

Bought my T3 about a year ago, and now i have this horrible volume fluctuation problem going on.. So I really wouldnt recommend buying it, even though the sound from the speakers is pretty good.
My last pair of creative speakers had the volume knob problem, this set of speakers has the knob problem. Last time i will ever buy creative speakers because you can forget about support fixing it...
