Drives won't wake with HighPoint RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6Gb/s For Mac 644

Just setting up and configuring a new 2010 12 Core Mac Pro 2.93Ghz with a HighPoint RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6Gb/s For Mac 644, and I've run into a problem. Currently, I have four WD WD600 Velociraptor drives hooked up to the card, functioning as individual drives (haven't tried RAID as of yet). OS 10.6.4, and version 1.0 of the Highpoint software.
Anyway, the card seems to work well, but I'm having big problems when I put the computer to sleep. If it's only asleep for a short time, the drives hooked to the RocketRaid card will be there. If the sleep time is longer (a few hours or more), they will no longer be in the Finder. When I wake the computer, I do hear the drives hooked to the card spin up, but they're not there. I've tried powering the drive case on and off, and that does not bring them up. Also tried unplugging and re-plugging them, and that also does not work. Going into "more info" in About this Mac shows that the card is still there. The only way to get the drives back, though, is to restart the computer. This is a drag for me, because I use my system mainly with Logic Pro, and load huge banks of samples that take a long time to load.
This card is supposed to be able to go to sleep. I wonder why it won't. I've sent multiple support requests to Highpoint, with no response. I'd sure like to find an eSATA 4 port card that would sleep. Unfortunately, there aren't many eSATA 3.0 6Gb/s options on the market yet.
Any input, advice, suggestions would be welcome.

Sonnet does not endorse every drive with their products, harkens back to SCSI which some people assume a drive is a drive is a drive in spite of persistent problems, and, there have always been "bugs" in Apple's AHCI and drivers.
would suggest the FirmTek SeriTek/2ME4-E for the Apple Mac Pro. You can view its performance tables with various configurations here: http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-2me4-e/perform/
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11163806#11163806
To quote FirmTek:
The ability to hot swap hard disks is typically a function of the eSATA controller driver. I found the Apple Built-in AHCI driver may not always support hot swap with all SATA enclosure types. If you find this is the case with your particular dock then a restart may be required.
The benefit of the built-in Apple AHCI driver is that it provides instant support for several SATA controllers. The downside to the AHCI driver is that it has limitations and may not work properly or at all with some configurations. In addition, if the AHCI driver does not work for you the company that sold the controller usually cannot correct the issue as the AHCI driver was not built by them.
To address these issues FirmTek designed a driver for the 6G based SeriTek/e6G that allows it to properly hot swap with direct connect and Oxford 936/946 based enclosures. In addition, the new FirmTek driver also supports port multiplier based enclosures like the SeriTek/5PM. A dedicated driver can provide extra features that may not be available with the AHCI driver.
A 4-port card for direct connect, a 2-port card for what? PM case? SSDs?

Another user was totally unhappy with the HP RR and was looking for ideas, I gave him a bunch, but never returned to follow up on their thread. So no idea or help there. I think CalDigit to drive 8/12-bay using mini-SAS interface.

  • HighPoint RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6GB/s for Mac 644

    I have successfully installed the hardware and driver. And connected to an external enclosure with eSata cable.
    When I try to start up MacPro, the monitor shows the prohibitary sign, circle and slash.
    I assume there is some conflicts between computer, RAID card, or the external enclosure but am unable to tell.
    Can you tell if my MacPro is compatible with the card?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP506?viewlocale=en_US
    Is there anyone having the same issue??
    I would also like to know if the card is installed properly...
    Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    would be more interested in just which HPT RR card you chose,
    AND the enclosure (make/type/manuf).
    Can't answer with a generic card and case :-(

    Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) then you likely are not using 64-bit kernel, which is always an issue having to have 64-bit clean drivers. though that is what the prophitory sign would seem to signal.
    Me preference is to always when possible use native SATA enclosures, they don't have issues, and you get the full bandwidth and performance.
    An Apple tech article vanishes, and leaves us with a "404 we're sorry" doesn't cut it, why not leave and say it is superceeded or there was a fix in 10.6.4 instead?
    Well, the original had this to say:
    There is/was a tech note warning about an issue with Oxford chipset and affecting those quad-interface cases. (Not that there haven't been issues with these before, but that was when they were used connected to a PCI Express SATA controller).
    From Hardmac:
    Apple TechNote
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3449
    the new Mac Pro 2010 compatibility with some Oxford OXUF934DSB usually found in quad interface enclosures (eSATA/USB/Firewire 400/8000). According to Apple, such drives would randomly refuse to automatically mount when booting the Mac Pro Apple. To fix the problem, you will need to wait for couple of second after booting the Mac Pro before turning the external HD on. A solution will most probably be found soon, either via a firmware update of the controller, or a driver update.

  • Rocket Dual eSATA 6Gb/s For Mac ~ Requires Reboot to Recognize Drives

    I bought this card when ordering my Mac Pro from Apple last year based on the recommendations of the sales staff on the phone. 
    I have had a huge disappointment at discovering the drives only show up in the finder if I reboot the computer.  No hot swappable, it would appear, a very huge negative for me, and it doesn't make me happy, I feel a little cheated or defrauded by the recommendation based on what one would expect.
    I do video editing and I've got a ton of apps open at once, shutting down all of my projects to access a multiple number of drives is a huge pain inconvenience and annoyance. 
    I called Apple initially upon discovery of this newly installed card not recognizing drives unless I reboot, and they told me to contact the card manufacturer: Highpoint.  Highpoint doesn't have a good website help setup that I can discern, and I'm looking for a solution to this problem if one has been developed, be it a software update, a driver, or something else.
    Is there a software update, fix, or workaround?

    This is generally not apple's problem.  The problem(s) are with the eSata drivers for that card or the external eSata enclosure's electronics or both.  I had a similar problem (couldn't remount until reboot if dismounted) using a NewerTech MAXPower PCIe 2-port eSATA card with my OWC enclosure.  I exchanged the card for a Sonnet Technology Tempo E2P and it worked with my enclosure.

  • Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

    I have heard that Mountain Lion is not compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc. Is that true?

    ... unless, like me, you open up an uber-important Excel 2004 file in Excel 2011 and get the following dialog box which leads to a trashed Chart, which I need access to EVERY WEEK:
    Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
    Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011! 
    I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files.  How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011?  Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.
    Kurt Lang wrote:
    You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
    Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
    Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
    Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem.  I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
    The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary."  Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
    You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
    Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
    Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

  • External Drives Won't Mount with Mavericks

    My external drives will not mount with Mavericks. They did for a while but I noticed that they stopped doing so a week ago or so. I have a drobo raid, hitiachi drive in an external case and a WD Passport. The drobo goes to sleep, the Hitachi external spins and the WD flashes like its being read.
    None of the drives were mounted when I loaded Mavericks and, as far as I know, they've not been erased. They did  mount for a few weeks but doesn't look they have since the beginning of November.
    I have a brand new 2013 MBP 15" Retina with 750 GB SSHD, 16 GB ram and a 2.7 GHz i7. The drives are all connected via one FW800 through a Thunderbolt dongle.

    I eventually gave up. I will probably get another card at some point but it probably won't be a SIIG card. Even though they are recommended by digidesign I just doesn't seem to want to work with my G5. Maybe it's some kind of weird software conflict blocking the functionality of the card? Don't know. Two cards in a row were non functional. Something is gummin up the works and the PCI slots work with the other cards I have. The only thing I did not try is plugging in the optional power connection to the FW800 card, which is supposed to be optional. I called SIIG and they had no idea what the problem was and they also said that the power plug would not make a difference for the problem I was having. Anyway, I'm gonna keep monitoring posts to this cause I'd love to hear the answer.. but I'm throwing in the towel. Good luck to the rest of you still trying to solve the riddle.

  • WD 1TB External Hard Drive won't work with Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I recently purchased a Western Digital 1TB External Hard Drive. It came formatted for Windows with NTFS, but I didn't think this was a problem as the packaging stated it could easily be reformatted for Mac OS. To cut a long story short, it couldn't. When I plugged it in to my Mac (iMac 21" i3) and tried to use Disk Utility to reformat it, partition it, whatever, it just wouldn't work always returning some sort of error. I resorted to using a Gparted Live CD and succesfully formated it to HFS+ but yet when I plugged it into my Mac it wouldn't mount the disk. After following advice to let Disk Utility 'Repair' the disk, this is the output:
    Verify and Repair volume “external”
    Checking non-journaled HFS Plus Volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.

    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files. [In red]
    If anyone knows what this means, and more importantly anything I can do to try and fix this, I would really really appreciate the help!
    (Obviously I see it says reformat the disk, but this is easier said than done. Now Gparted crashes when it tries to read it and Disk Utility hangs indefinitely if I try to do anything to it)

    I believe the reasons behind this must have something to do with the errors highlighted by the repair process (as copied above)- errors I don't understand.

    If the drive is not seriously damaged ...
    Go to Disk Utility
    Click on the external Drive (not on the existing partition)
    Click on Partition section in Disk Utility
    In the Pane under "Current Scheme" highlite the Partition and then click the "-" (minus) sign down left.

  • H77MA-G43 with Highpoint Rocketraid 640 - Not posting

    Hi All,
    I recently brought a H77MA-G43 and built a system running VMware ESXi which runs fine. However when I try to add a Highpoint Rocketraid 640 which works on my main PC (Asus M/B) the system wont post. I've tried numerous variations of the Bios settings for the Highpoint card but cannot find anything on the H77MA-G43 bios which would get the card working.
    I have put a HP P212 Raid card on the mainboard which works fine (except for VMdirectpath I/O (works but the VM's don't see the HP card properly, I can troubleshoot this myself)) but I really do need the Highpoint functioning for the additional SATA 6Gbs ports.
    A previous bios (v1.3) included support for the Rocket 620X1 Gen2 card so I thought an update to the latest bios 1.4 would help but it did not.
    Does anyone have any experience or ideas on troubleshooting this sort of problem or how I go about requesting this issue to be resolved or added to a future Bios?
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I've got similar MB (Z77) and P212
    but Raid is not working - i see the P212 initialization during boot and nowhere else - windows, linux, ESXi. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161815.0)
    Don't think this is a RAM or HDD problem...
    What Cpu do you use?
    Hi Andyrus,
    I was planning to update this forum on my ESXi antics on my motherboard and good thing I did otherwise I would never had replied.
    The CPU I have is a i5 3550, my HP P212 has a cache module but no BBWC. 16GB RAM installed (I'm at work so I cant check the brand).
    http://ark.intel.com/products/65516/Intel-Core-i5-3550-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz
    ESXi detects it under storage controllers and I could use it without issue. I always had arrays configured when booting, do you?
    I would try the 'How To Contact MSI' link in this thread to contact MSI, they turned around a beta bios very quickly (be warned the English isn't great but they are helpful).

  • IMac won't wake with touch of mouse or allow remote connection when sleeping

    My iMac will not wake with just the touch of the mouse any longer now that I have Mavericks. It did with Snow Leopard, but not with Mavericks. Now I have to hit a key on the keyboard or hit the mouse.
    Also, when the computer does wake now, it take a while for the internet to connect again, the clock to update and my email to come into Outlook. When the mail does come in, the receipt time is wrong, of course.
    In addition, I used to be able to connect from my windows laptop to the iMac through Filezilla even when the iMac was sleeping. I cannot do this with Mavericks. I have to physically go to the iMac and wake it up and then I can connect to it remotely. Kinda ruins the whole point.
    I’ve made sure “Wake for network access” is checked in System Preferences > Energy Saver and I’ve made sure “Wake on Wireless: Supported” in there in System Information when accessed by Option + Apple icon.
    How can I get my computer back to where it was- waking with only a touch of the mouse (not pressing keys) and accessing it remotely while sleeping?
    I’m not a computer expert, obviously, so please explain any acronyms or jargon you might use when answering.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

    I had boot camp set up previously, but I think this may have been before I installed the SSD, and maybe I just had it running on the HDD.
    I've seen what seems like this same issue posted many, many times, where it is an issue of Windows seeing a GPT partition/drive, so it won't boot. Is that not what's going on for me, too?

  • Iphone 4s will no longer sync with itunes 11.0.4 using outlook for mac

    I have been successful for almost 18 months in getting my Outlook for Mac 2011 to sync to my iphone 4s using itunes.  However, I noticed today that changes that I was making to my contacts either on my phone or on the computer were not being synced up.  I also plug in using USB to sync, because iCloud causes all sorts of probems when syncing things to Outlook for Mac.  Can anyone help me?
    I have noticed that in itunes 11.0.4 there is no longer a box to check or a dropdown box specifically being able to choose "sync contacts with outlook"
    I know I am in the dark ages, but I happen to like Outlook and the integration of the calendar and contacts, etc.  So I would really like to get this fixed and syncing again.
    thanks for any and all help.

    I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or information as to why?

  • Problems with BBC iPlayer Desktop and Adobe Air for Mac

    I would be grateful for anyone who can help me with a problem I have on my Laptop running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.I am having difficulty running BBC iPlayer Desktop and I suspect it is caused by Adobe Air.
    Recently I was prompted to update Adobe Air to the latest version (as of February 2012) and after I successfully updated the program, this began to cause problems when I used BBC iPlayer desktop.
    The first problem I noticed was that I was unable to play any downloaded programmes in full screen - only the sound played, not the video.
    Secondly, a few weeks after this problem began, all my TV programmes mysteriously disappeared.
    My final problem is that everytime I launch BBC iPlayer it is unable to download new programmes - when I am connected to the internet, the application still says it is "offline".
    I have tried to resolve the problem by restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling BBC iPlayer, disabling and re-enabling my firewall, connecting to the internet in different locations but this has not resolved the problem.
    I tried to uninstall Adobe Air, but the installation package tells me it is 'corrupt'. So I tried to download and reinstall the application from the adobe website, but the computer already recognises that the app is installed. i.e. - I can't uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air.
    I contacted BBC iPlayer support and they were unable to help - directing me to your website. I have read several other discussion topics posted on this website but not found the solution I am looking for.
    Please can some help me to solve this problem, by helping me uninstall and reinstall Adobe Air for Mac?
    I am not very technical minded - for example - I don't know what log files are or how to find them - so please explain it as simply as possible.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
    What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
    So:
    a) Move iPlayer to trash.
    b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
    c) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
    d) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
    e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
    f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
    g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
    h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
    i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
    j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
    k) Relaunch iPlayer
    It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

  • Problem with Signature tab drop down in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I am setting up Outlook 2011 on my mac and have run across a problem with the signatures that I have been unable to resolve.
    I have set up 2 signatures for my two different pop accounts and thought that if I defaulted them to their appropriate account they would automatically be seen in email when I had chosen the corresponding email account. I then discovered that it was not
    possible to do this in Outlook 2011 for Mac.
    So I selected NONE as the defaults for my two signatures, and thought I would be able to manually add the appropriate signature to each email as I compose or reply.  BUT NO!!!! THE PROBLEM LIES BELOW:
    The 2 signatures that I set up are visible in the drop down menu from the signature tab in an email, however they are greyed out and cannot be selected.  I have attempted selecting one of these signatures as the default, and whichever one
    I select dutifully appears when I compose a new email, but when I click on the drop down to change the signature, both are still greyed out.
    So effectively, I only have the option of one signature or none, despite being able to set up multiple signatures in my profile.
    Does anyone know why this is occurring and what the solution is?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi,
    Please remove the Signature and re-add it back to check whether the issue persists. We can follow the articles below to create signature in Outlook 2011 for Mac:
    How to create signature or customize it (add picture) in Outlook for Mac 2011

    Add a signature automatically to every message
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/mac-outlook-help/add-a-signature-automatically-to-every-message-HA102928243.aspx
    If the new created Signature is still greyed out in your Outlook, please restart the Outlook client in safe mode to confirm if the issue is caused by any third-party add-ins.
    If the issue persists in Outlook safe mode, I suggest you ask a question in Outlook for Mac forum for further troubleshooting:

    The songs play okay in iTunes?
    but won't let me synce with my ipod.
    It won't let you because it gives you a message saying it won't?
    Or just that nothing happens?
    What are you doing and what happens when you plug in the iPod?
    Also, see this -> See this -> Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
