External HD attached to TC

Does anyone know if I attach an external HD to TC will it appear as two hard drives on my desktop? Will I be able to choose which HD I can save information? Plus I currently have a 500G external HD that I back up to and I am trying to decide whether to get the TC or an Airport Extreme. Does anyone have an opinion either way? Can I also hook two externals to Airport Extreme via a usb splitter? Thanks for your help.

Connect an external HD to the Time Capsule, and you will see both hard drives as network shared drives. You can use a USB hub on the Time Capsule, according to Apple, but I have not tried this. Yet.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 15" mid-2012 won't boot in clamshell mode with an external display attached

    I have a 15" MBPr mid-2012 running OS X 10.10.1. The system won't boot in clamshell mode (power is connected, lid shut) with an external display attached via an Apple Thunderbolt->DVI adapter. it boots fine if the lid is open. It isn't the adapter or the display since my 15" MBPr mid-2014 boots up just fine connected to the same adapter and monitor. And this system used to boot like this just fine some while ago (probably before it was upgraded to Yosemite). I've reset the NVRAM (twice) to no avail.
    Has anyone encounter this? Anyone have a solution? Should I try an SMC reset (always a bit nervous about that)? Might it be a driver issue in Yosemite?
    Thanks.

  • How can i use the built-in microphone at the same time as using my earphones? (they have an external mic attached)

    I am recording stuff on garageband and i need to hear other tracks as I'm playing, but I have to play them through external earphones so that the they don't overlap onto the one I'm creating.
    The wire for my earphones has an external microphone attached to it, however, I have no desire to use this microphone as it is ridiculously sensitive and picks up even the slightest vibrations when the wires rub against my cheek or my t-shirt.
    Therefore, I need to use the built-in microphone when recording. Except that, whenever I plug in the earphones to the iMac, garageband automatically switches to the external microphone. I went in to the Garageband preferences, and saw that it was set up for recording through the built-in mic, which is strange because input is clearly coming from the external.
    So, I went into the iMac System preferences > sound > input. There are three options here: Internal microphone, Line-in, and Soundbooth 3.0.
    What I found is that whenever I plug my earphones into the iMac, the option for 'Internal microphone' changes into an option for 'external microphone'. Now, I am fairly sure that an 'external microphone' is EXACTLY the same thing as a 'Line-in', but I'm not so sure now, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
    How do I stop the iMac from changing 'Internal microphone' to 'External microphone'? It is very important that I am able use the earphones and the Built-in Mic at the same time.

    Hi John,
    I think the only way is to get an iMic...

  • I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

    I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

    Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
    Sorry, but no.
    Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
    Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

  • External Drive attached to Time Capsule failing to work consistently

    This problem has been occurring since we started using an external drive attached to our Time Capsule as a backup destination for Time Machine over a year ago:
    Everything will be fine for a few days or weeks, but at some point backups stop working. This sometimes gives errors (Time Machine could not complete backup, I think) or sometimes it just looks like the backup has gotten stuck (reporting 235.32 MB of 22.86 GB for days). With the latter problem it seems to cause other issues with the OS like System Preferences not responding anymore and certain Save As... dialog boxes not appearing.
    Every time this happens, what I do is disconnect all users through AirPort Utility and then plug the drive into one of the computers and run Disk Utility on it.
    Each time, without fail, there is the error "Incorrect number of Access Control Lists" stating it should be 0 and it really is something in the thousands usually.
    The volume is always repaired successfully, but then the cycle continues.
    We've tried a couple of different drives and it always ends up happening.
    I've seen other posts with similar problems, but nothing laid out exactly like my problem, and no real fix for it.

    Yes, indeed. Let me give some background.
    I have an old Gigabit AEBS (7.4.2) as my main router with a Gigabit connection to my Time Capsule (500GB, 7.4.2) running in bridge mode. Both run as wireless access points for my network "Hogwarts." I backup several machines to the TC's internal drive with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Practically bulletproof. I backup two media heavy machines to the external drive attached to the TC. The drive is a Western Digital My Book 1.5TB that before the TC came into our lives, ran flawlessly when attached to my iMac as a backup destination. The media machines are Dumbledore, my mini running as a HTPC, and Tonks, my wife's laptop busting with pics and video of our son. Once I started backups to this drive connected to the TCs, I started to have problems with backup. That's the situation. Here's what I've tried to correct it.
    I had a year's worth of backups. Went to the Genius Bar who recommended starting over after they checked out my setup over Back to My Mac. They couldn't find anything wrong and supposed my backups were hopelessly corrupted. So I followed their advice with Dumbledore and archived those for Tonks. Trying to start over with Dumbledore fails within the first 75 of 500 GB to backup every time. I've redirected syslog reporting at Debug level from the TC to my iMac and formatted the external drive several times. I have done disk repairs on the drive, Dumbledore's sparse bundle, and the TM volume contained in the sparse bundle. I've only gotten the "too many ACL's" error. The WD drive comes with SmartWare software I've used to check the S.M.A.R.T. status (100% OK), test the drive (100% OK) and deactivate the Virtual CD partition used to, among other things, encrypt the drive. My drive is unencrypted and have made it as plain vanilla as I can: GUID with one 1.5 TB Mac OS Extended Journaled partition.
    What I've noticed when I check the status of the TC when the bakcups fail is that the drive becomes unmounted with no logged error. The client computer either hangs Finder or reports the backup failed. My wife has become so frustrated with hard restarts that she has turned off Time Machine until I fix this. Airport Utility simply no longer sees the drive. The client computer can reconnect over AFP but the drive will not be accessible unless I restart the TC. Then if I do some Disk Utility repairs on the external drive and on the virtual volumes it contains, I can start backups again...until the next spontaneous unmounting of the drive. Which leaves me talking to you as a completely frustrated and disappointed Apple user. This is so not Apple quality experience.
    The only shot in the dark I've seen is that the TC repeatedly updates its DHCP lease every 5 minutes or so despite having a 4 hour TTL. Weird.

  • Installing RAC on External Network Attached Storage

    Is it possible to use External Network Attached Storage device to install Oracle RAC?
    It is much cheapter than to buy SAN or other devices.. All I am thinking it buying a External NAS enclosure and put a couple of hard disks in it and use it as NAS to store RAC database..
    any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Data Sheet

    Since you only want to learn ... Google for RAC SCSI or RAC Firewire
    Based on my experience, my suggestions and observations around RAC are simple
    1) Go straight to 10g, do not bother with 9i;
    2) If you are a competent Oracle10g DBA, RAC knowledge is a mininal upgrade in effort;
    3) 99.9% of the 'RAC problem' is from the hardware configuration.
    I find that the RAC configuration issues are different for each operating system and storage subsystem combination I seen, and they have almost nothing to do with RAC. They are mainly about system, network and disk administration and making them able to handle a shared disk configuration. Once the stable shared disk configuration is achieved RAC is almost self-installing.
    So, going cheap just to learn RAC is not going to provide much headway in the long run.
    However, being able to say you've seen it is possibly worth while, and that can be accomplished very inexpensively using SCSI or Firewire disks. Do the web search - there are a lot of cookbooks.
    Note though that Jonathan Lewis recently said, and I paraphrase: "A 2-, or even 3- node RAC is not really interesting. 2-node is a boundary condition, and 3 node falls back to boundary condition quickly. Detailed investgation doesn't happen until you have 4 or more nodes." And that requires a real configuration. Which is going to cost.
    And no - I do not know anything about Z-SAN.

  • Kernel panic when trying to use spotlight with external display attached

    Having an issue with my fairly new MacBook Pro (purchased in April). When it's connected to an external display, I will get a kernel panic 100% of the time if I click on the Spotlight icon. The same also happens sometimes when clicking Documents or Downloads in the dock, but that is infrequent. This only happens with an external display attached and I have tried multiple external displays and cables. Following is the kernel panic report. I don't really know how to read it, so if anyone has suggestions they would be much appreciated.

  • IMac won't boot with external drives attached

    I am using iMac 27" Late 2013 model upgraded to mavericks 10.9.4. Two external drives are always attached with it, one is segate 3.5" 2TB USB 3.0 drive and another one is 2.5" usb 2.0 drive.
    when i start my imac with external drives attached it won't boot up. Stuck at plain white screen after a startup chime, not even any apple logo or any progress circle appears. And i have to detach all of my drives to make it boot.
    This problem arises after upgrading to mavericks. Already tried resetting PRAM, SMC and checked Startup disk and verify disk with disk utility.

    Raja,
    Do a SMC reset perhaps even a couple of times and see if that helps. Also in System Preferences + Startup Disk make sure the internal HD is selected.
    SMC RESET

  • Powering up a macbook pro with an external monitor attached

    I have a MacBook Pro and a new Apple 23" Cinema Display. How do I power up (not wake, I got that figured out already) the MBP with the external display attached?

    AFAIK, you have to open the MBP's lid, hit the power button and then immediately close the lid. I don't believe there is any other way to do it.

  • MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

    MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.  This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
    Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
    I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

  • Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached??

    Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached to my MacBook Pro?

    I can't even get my pictures from iPhoto to my external hard drive I just bought.
    Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the external drive as an intact single entity - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the new location - test the library fully and then delete the library from the internal drive
    I'm about ready to just get a disposable camera and call it good.
    No problem if that makes you happy
    My hard drive is so full I keep getting messages that it's almost full and won't work right if I don't delete something.
    That is correct - you must have 10% or a minimum of 10GB of free space for efficient and safe operation
    I'm TRYING but nothing is working. It's very frustrating, isn't it?
    Maybe if you would give some details on what you are "trying" and what is "not working" someone could help - above is a specific answer to the specific question on how to move the iPhoto library
    Not to mention, the CD drive has a disc in it that won't come out. I'm not anywhere near an Apple dealer, and my MacBook is under warranty, so I can't go anywhere but Apple.
    I would post that in the MacBook forum rather than the iPhoto forum

  • Logicboard fried each time mba goes into sleep with external screen attached

    I got new Mba 13". Plugged in my Phillips 24" screen as usual. Went away for an hour or so. Come back, and MBA doesn't wake up from sleep anymore. It's just dead, no light etc. I've tried all methods described here.
    Brought it to service centre, they tell me logic board chip set is completely blown. So they replace to new logic board. Two days later, excactly same problem. When I put it to sleep without external screen, it seems fine. But once I've external screen attached. I've put it even manually to sleep. I only heard a small "flop" sound. And then again. MBA is dead.
    So same thing. Brought to service center, they check. Again logic board fried. Also they told me that a lot of customers have same problem. Some ppl even replace logic board for four times!!!
    Come on apple? Seriously? Whats going on here? Anybody have same problem and found solution? (except not putting it to sleep and contiously repair logic board).

    Just an update on my situation...  My 2nd logic board fried after about 5 days of use.  Its been in the shop now for about 3 weeks waiting for another logic board as well as the USB daughterboards.  Not sure how they determined that they needed to be replaced - I think they're just guessing at this point. 
    When you guys had your boards fried, did you have anything plugged into USB?  I have a USB hub plugged in, and the hub has a hard disk, and logitech camera attached.  Its been plugged in during each failure along w/ my monitor (a 22inch LG).
    At this point I have no faith that the repairs will fix this.  I've replaced my power strip, and will replace my USB hub next, but I just don't believe anything external is causing this, as I'm using all the same components with another laptop w/o any issues. 
    This next repair is my 3rd repair attempt, and my machine has been unusable since December 6th, 2011.  Apple better replace it if it fails again.  Nothing like buying the top of the line machine and having it in the shop for half as long as I've owned it.    Apple's handing of this situation has been extremely poor, and as a first time mac owner, all I can say is I am not impressed. 

  • Not booting with external drive attached after itunes 10 installed.

    Since installing itunes 10, my computer will NOT boot into Mac OS X with the external drive attached. It consistently freezes at a grey screen with the apple logo.
    If the external drive is powered off, it will boot normally - but slowly. Anyone else with this glitch?

    Try opening the Startup Disk panel of System Preferences and redeclaring the startup disk. You could see this behavior if your Mac isn't sure what device to use for booting.

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • How do I get my macbook pro to 'see' my external HD attached to Airport BS?

    Hi, I'm still finding my way around my mac and have come up against a wall!
    I have a Maxtor External Hard Drive attached via USB to my Airport Base Station (firmware 7.1)
    I can see the Hard Drive is listed in the Airport Utility, I have ticked enable file sharing.
    Problem is how to get my mac to see the drive wirelessly?
    Before I connected the Hard Drive I had connected a USB printer, by using the 'Printer & Fax' set up utility on my mac it soon was able to print with no problems.
    I can connect the Hard Drive directly to my mac and the disk appears on my desktop.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    That's what I read here...
    http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/sharing.html
    "Instant drive sharing.
    New to AirPort Extreme, AirPort Disk turns almost any external USB hard drive into a shared drive. Simply connect the drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and — voila — all the documents, videos, photos, and other files on the drive instantly become available to anyone on the secure network, Mac and PC alike. It’s perfect for backups, collaborative projects, and more.
    A simple-to-use AirPort Disk Utility gives you more setup options. You could set the disk to become available whenever you connect to the network. You could set up password-protected accounts for everybody on the network, or allow read-only access to certain files and folders. The choice is yours."
    But have you looked/clicked on the Airport Icon, (if you have that in your Menu Bar), or in Network Control Panel>Configure>Airport Tab, to see if there is perhaps an "Airdisk" in the Network drop down?
