Don't know where to key in...
Hi,
I'm back with another problem...
I have a Server running Suse 7.3 with HIGHPOINT RAID ATA133 HPT374 PCI card.
I upgraded to ArchLinux 0.7b2.
The problem is that I don't know how to load the driver on startup.
In Suse, I had the following 2 lines in the /etc/modules.conf working:
'probeall block-major-8 scsi_mod sd_mod hpt374'
'options -k hpt374'
Of couse no info/man for general installation from the mfg website (only for Suse/RedHat).
Driver has been compiled for the kernel installed properly and with 'insmod /home/test/hpt374.ko' it's loaded and working (without modprobe scsi driver)
Someone can help me ?
I'm new about kernel 2.6.x and Archlinux!
PS: HDPARM is useful for IDE-RAID configuration ?
Is there someone can suggest me the best options for ATA100/133 ?
Thank you
Leo
Hi to all.
first of all thanks for your time and patient.
Now I'm more sure my english is very poor! :-))
Okay my configuration :
- HDD Eide master IDE (boot) 80Giga with Arch Linux
- Controller RAID PCI (supported by Linux/Bsd) with 4 HDD in Raid 5.
Archlinux boot smooth from disc0 (Primary Master IDE).
On the RAID there is the shared (samba) directories for all the PC clients.
The RAID need a driver to work (hpt374), so I believe first load the driver and then mount the RAID partition in, for example, /mnt.
The driver is the HPT 374 that is different from the one in kernel 2.6.x (so I always have to disable from kernel, recompile a new kernel, and build the new driver from the source through a 'makefile' supplied from the manufacturer of the RAID card).
Driver was loaded under Suse 7.3 (kernel 2.4.x) with 2 lines inside the file /etc/modules.conf, that are the two lines I mentioned on my first post.
I tried to load the driver HPT374 as module inside /etc/rc.conf, but I need the option '-k' when the driver is loaded (manually : 'modprobe -k hpt374') so I don't know where to key in the option '-k' to load properly the driver.
Funny thing is that Highpoint (manufacturer) nowhere explain the meaning of '-k' option, just force everybody to use it, telling twice to remember about it ("please remember that '-k' option must be included everytime you load the driver, otherwise it will not work properly"!!!)
So, if I load the driver through /etc/rc.conf, I cannot include "-k" option.
If I have to load manually/separately, I don't have idea where I can setup a script or include this command!
You also mention about "build a kernel" with the driver in. It sound great!
I'm newbie: can you redict me some HOWTO about compiling kernel with a driver in? I always just untar the new valilla kernel fvrom kernel.org, and proceed with taking aways all modules I do not need! So I don't know how to include external driver/module and patches.
Thanks for your great patient!
Thanks to Archlinux for a great distro!

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other". Please help!
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -

I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6
Hi everyone,
This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
Thank you!
Colin C.When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -
I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen. I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them. I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three. Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?
I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere. -
Having both a degenerative neurological condition and a large collection of Mac computers I decided I have to get rid of a lot of them and simplify my life.
I don't know where to start or which forum to post in but I am seeking help and suggestions to many mac ownership problems and decisions.
Multiple sclerosis seriously impedes my ability to rationalise and make decisions about many things so sorting out my extensive Apple history could be a potential nightmare for me so I am seeking some help from Apple enthusiasts and gurus.
I have an extensive collection of macs going back over 30 years and software to match.
I need to rationalise my life as it's become to complicated for me to deal with.
So where do I start front or back ?

Of course it would have been easier if I had known how to do it to one hard disk and transferred and converted files for other computers.
Do you know how long it takes to rip over 200 CDs
I have decided to keep my one or two of G4 1.25 Ghz PPC as they have dual boot capability.
I also have a sonnet G4 3.4 Dual upgrade and I would like to see classic zoom.
I have decided I will get rid on my Dual Wind-tunnel as it's just to noisy.
I will also keep my one of 9600's power macs as I also have a G4 processor upgrade but what OS ?
I also have some serious memory chips and can fill it with 1.5 Gig if need be ?
I am tempted to keep a pizza box Centris or Quadra or even one of the older versions.
I also have nubus and 603e upgrades somewhere.
I think I may only keep one of my classic type computers.
Is it the original mac plus with external CD and HD and FDD ?
So if someone would like to help me please say so.First off my page* http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html

>Do you know how long it takes to rip over 200 CDs
Average rip time is anywhere between 6 and 10 times faster than the actual run time of the CD if you are talking 192 kbps MP3. Less time the less you have to compress.
>I will also keep my one of 9600's power macs as I also have a G4 processor upgrade but what OS ?
Mac OS 9.1 is the best operating system for all PowerPC Macs that have upgrade cards that have PowerPC chips. http://www.macsales.com/ may have additional info on if a higher end operating system is available for a specific upgrade card.
>Is it the original mac plus with external CD and HD and FDD ?
The original Mac Plus could take an external SCSI CD and 7.5.5 according to:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_classic/stats/mac_plus.html
which suggests the internal floppy might be upgradeable to DS/DD floppy seeing as 7.1 came on larger floppy disks. The older hardware forum mentioned above can tell you what can be done with it. Hope that helps. -

I received a message on my iPhone 4 that has a video attached to it. I "saved video" but don't know where. How do I find it and send it to mi MacBook Air?
It would have saved to your camera roll. Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running. You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.

I have a 2009 A6 with a 5th Gen. iPod pluggedinto the MMI. I mostly listen to audio books, not a lot ofmusic. The books are 4-6 hours long, vs 4-6minutes with a song. Often, but not always, when I start my A6, the MMI starts on the first song on my iPod, thereforeI don't know where I stopped in my 4-6 hour book. How can I get the interface to stay stopped where I left off? I have gone into iTunes and placed my current book as the first "song" on my iPod for ease of finding it, but often the MMI starts it over at the beginning. Thank you if anyone has any experience with this. My dealer in San Rafael, CA says they've never heard of this issue.
I think my iPod, which is an iPod touch 3rd generation , which is a lot different from a nano, which really makes it almost impossible for me to help you, which is why I suggested that you post your question in the iPod nano community. Your first post says that your product is an iPod nano. I think the people who answer those questions would be most likely to help you. If yours isn't a nano then you can pick the right community from here. This community is really to answer questions about this forum, or issues that don't fit anywhere else.
