External USB 3.0 HD showing as 'local' drive, is there a way to get my data or correct?
My HD just started showing as a local drive on my computer and my saved data isn't accessable. Message is to format the HD. Is there a way to get my data off the drive? I downloaded one recover program already that didn't work at all it just freezes both computers I try to use it on.
I'm also wonder why did this happen? I always exject my hd correctly.

So it's Raw.
In my experience the best free software for that sort of thing is TestDisk. I don't know if it's been tested yet on Windows 8. So run it on a Windows 7 computer.

Sony - DVDirect 16x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW Drive
I posted this in another subject, but I really need professional opinions. We are getting ready to start our basketball season, and I would like to have video equipment that would record at great quality and could be easily and quickly transferred to a dvd.
My thoughts were to purchase the Sony - DVDirect 16x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW Drive. This seems to allow you to burn from the camera. What is everyone's thoughts on this product and would a Sony - High-Definition DVD Camcorder with 120GB Hard Disk Drive and 2.7" LCD Monitor - Black be a useful purchase with this drive?Hi classact,
It sounds like this drive should work for standard definition footage, but as Entropy stated in your other thread on this issue you are going to want a Blu-ray burner drive for High Definition footage. I also agree with Entropy in that you are better off streaming your video footage to a computer (with a Blu-ray burner drive) than investing in this external drive. When it comes to burning/uploading video footage there is no quick process if you want to retain quality without investing in a computer with a very fast processor (and of course enough RAM).
This camcorder should meet or exceed your expectations, but I am personally partial to flash drive based camcorders. You can store a lot more footage on a hard drive based camcorder, which does mean that you won't have to upload your footage as often, but the less moving parts a camcorder has the longer it will last.
I hope this helps!

My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account. Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv? is there a way to get them there?
Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?
Actually, if you mean Apple/iTunes purchased content, you can go to the content area and go to Purchased... e.g. if you go to Movies > Purchased all the movies you have purchased through iTunes/Apple will appear there... ditto for Music, TV Shows, Music...
for local copies of media, computer needs to be on with iTunes running... -
In previous versions of i Tunes I could highlight a song in my library and a genious list would show on the right side of the screen listing songs that were like the one highlighted. Now I do not get that list. Is there a way to get that back?
Hi again Bob,
I believe I've found the feature you were speaking about now. Information on the "In the Store" feature of iTunes can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Inside iTunes - Using In the Store from within your iTunes Library.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks
Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv?
If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Before I updated to Firefox 4, I used to be able to see the security bar on the bottom right telling me whether it was secure (x-d out in red or not) before I logged into a site, purchased something, etc. I know the bottom tab has been brought to the top but I no longer see that bar/icon which bother me. Is there any way to get that security tab (that little gold lock symbol) to show again for every website?
The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
If you want a padlock, you can use the Padlock add-on in conjunction with the site identity button - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/ -

When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.
I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?
Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
I installed IOUSB family log release osx 10.5.6 on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log an rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way to get my usb back working? And is there a way to navigate in Windows to the file I installed and remove it? Any help appreciated.
BDAqua wrote: Does OSX boot at all, or not?
Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows. -
I have a purchased app that will not show up in the cloud and is no longer in the app store. Is there a way to get it from my iPhone to my iPad?
You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

Is there any way to retrive the data from my USB Key
Hello,
I have a usb key I have been using on a Win 7 desktop computer and a Mac Book Air to put in Data on a spread sheet.
I interchange to put in the data between the computer and my MBA without any problem.
I am today not able to open the usb memory key in either-Computer or the MAC Book Air.
Does that mean I have a coruppted USB memory key and the data lost for ever?
I have just put the USB memory key in my computer and it says File System CDFS.
I put it in MAC Book Air and it would not open either!!
Is there any way to access my data. I have no back up...If the USB drive won't mount on either computer, it's probable that the drive has failed, in which case it's unlikely that you can recover any data from it. You can do a web search for something like "flash drive file recovery" and you'll find a number of utilities that purport to do file recovery, but all the utilities I'm familiar with require that the drive at least be mountable. There may be services that could attempt recovery, but they tend to be expensive.
The moral of the story is: never have only a single copy of a critical document, and if you must, never, never have your single copy only on a flash drive (or floppy, for those "old timers" who still use floppies).
Regards.
