Extra internal HD not showing up

Hi all,
My laCie d2 external drive packed up, and just before I was going to toss it in the trash, I took it out of the enclosure and put it in my G4 (1.25d). It works! ...but only if I disconnect 1 of my other internal drives.
I have a 70g Seagate drive in P5(P5 is indicated on the power plug). If I add the laCie (actually a 160g Maxtor) in P4, niether the seagate or lacie show up.
If I only connect the lacie, the lacie shows up.
Both of these are in the ATA/66 (front) section.
I have the main HD and a 10g seagate in the rear carrier. (ata 100)
Is this a jumper issue?? I have no jumpers connected on the drives in P4 & P5.
Hope someone can help,
Ta v much
G

Hi-
You need to have the drives jumpered. They should be jumpered to cable select ( for your dual 1.25).
What is the brand of the drive from the LaCie housing?

Crucial m4 256 GB internal SSD not showing in disk utility on MacBook Pro a1226 (late 2007) 2.4 ghz.

After the original Fujitsu 160gb hd died in my MacBook Pro (model A1226), I was advised at the Mac store to upgrade to a SSD. I installed the crucial m4 256gb internal SSD and powered on MacBook Pro from the Snow Leopard install disk so I could use disk utility to erase and reformat the new SSD.
The problem is the SSD is not showing up in disk utility. I have opened the computer twice and checked cable connections and still no luck. I have powered off computer and let sit for a while and tried again. I check compatability on crucial site before ordering SSD so I don't know what the problem is. Bad disk?

You were given bad advice.
Return/Sell the SSD and buy a 7,200 RPM hard drive instead, it should work fine and a more of a match for your older machine.
Your Mac doesn't have the faster SATA connections for a SSD also 10.6 isn't equipped for SSD's only hard drives, your basically putting a Ferrari engine in a Yugo, it can't handle it.
The 7,200 RPM drive will give you the performance and more drive space than a SSD anyway.
Follow these instructions when you erase and install 10.6, it will give the best results.

HT1338 internal camera not showing up on MacBook Air

The internal camera is not showing up on my MacBook Air in either Photobooth or Facetime

• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
   often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update. For ML Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera. For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

International characters not showing

When some international character set is selected in Language
bar (windows), and typing text in the Freehand MX, garbage
characters are showed.
This is related to Freehand only, becouse when typing in any
other aplication (ms word, publisher, even notepad), proper
characters are shown.
Is there any settings that I need to change or any other
intervention for international characters to be used in FH ?
BTW even when pasting text containing international
characters to FH, the same problem is happening.
Thanks
Nicky

This is FreeHand only because FreeHand does not support as
wide character set (Unicode) as most of the apps.
There are language versions of FreeHand, like Hebrew, that
support some extended character sets but the standard English
version can handle about the set available in Type1 font.

Hi,
In your partner determination procedure for Customer master, apart from assigning a Pratner proc to your A/c grp, you also need to maintain the combination of your a/c group with the partner functions that you have in your procedure.
On the left side panel, you have a link (i think 5th) saying Account group - Function assignment. In this, maintian the partner functions that you want to your a/c grp.
This will allow taking INTERNAL numbers during customer creation.
Thanks and reward points if useful

Internal Mic not showing up at all

cannot find the internal mic on my A215-s5837 any where in the sounds option or in the device manager. I installed an webcam and mic. The webcam works great but the mic is not working at all nor can the computer see it. I am running Windows 7.

I hope you backed up before this happened.
Okay solution to get info back.
Go to ebay and get one of the laptop hd to desktop hd connectors about $6-12 or a USB/FIREWIRE ($25 max) external enclosure for 2.5" drives as then you can install a new drive and still try to access it via USB/FIREWIRE
This will work if you have a desktop Win or Apple and then you can use a descent software to access it.
If not then send it to the manufacturer and then can make a backup for you or take the disc platter looking like a dvd / cd and place it in a new working device so you can get access as likely the motor died on the hd or the circuit board/firmware is bust but the disc platter might be in tackt.
Good Q? does the drive spin up ?
I have seen that a good format "erase can get life out of it " but it does not help for info/files.
PS: if you have tiger do not use panther disk utility as there is different thingy's they use and this does screw up a drive but nothing a erase/format can not fix.

International characters not showing up correctly in Podcast Title-Is UTF-8

In the 'Podcast Information' window that pops up, the Episode title is not getting rendered correctly but the details show up fine. Both have chinese characters.
Any pointers for resolving this would be appreciated.

If sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, then there must be a difference in the way you are doing it. And you can work out what's happening from analyzing what you're doing when it works compared with what you're doing when it doesn't work.
For example, if you type the description into the blogging software, you might just be typing the ' key. While some writing software (word for example) will automatically turn on smart quotes which your blogging software will be escaping into HTML code. The character ' doesn't need escaping, but smart quotes do.
Hope this helps,
Greg

International characters not showing up in certain apps?

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and international characters aren't showing up. There are blank spaces where they used to be. The characters are still there, it's just that they appear as blank spaces (I can copy and paste them and see them elsewhere).
This change occurred after I installed 10.6. Is there any way to fix this?

I've seen the same thing on Photoshop and Fireworks CS3, and even just the other day on iMovie '09, but I was still on Leopard – so are you sure it's Snow Leopard-related?
In my case, CS3 apps would show squares, and iMovie wouldn't even move the cursor (it wouldn't even let me enter curly quotes). With iMovie it was easily fixed by typing in TextEdit, then copying and pasting to iMovie. No success in CS3 apps, which categorically refused to enter any glyphs that weren't more or less standard Latin.

Internal volume not showing up as an option for sound

About two months ago I downloaded OS X Yosemite and everythign was working great until a week ago. The volume on my macbook pro retina would be on permant mute and I wouldnt have the option to turn back on the sound. I looked around and found out how to reset my PRAM, i did this once and it worked find. Now it is happening again and when I reset the PRAM it does nothign to help with the volume. Any other suggestions?

You haven't mention this. So I assume you have gone into System Preferences>Sound and made sure that Internal Speakers are selected and the Mute Checkbox is unchecked? Just selecting Internal Speakers in the first tab "Sound Effect" is not enough. You should set Internal Speakers under the "Output" tab and Internal Microphone under "Input" tab. When plugging into external speakers, this will change automatically to External Speakers. Sometimes you may have to reset these tabs back to Internal, manually. Hope I helped if you have not already done this.

International characters not showing properly in Adobe PDF form?

I'm trying to help out a customer with an issue they have with a form.
They had a form created, but it doesn't show danish characters properly.
It's created in Adobe Acrobat Pro on a Mac.
As soon as I enter a danish character it shows some sort of gibberish, all other characters show correctly.
This happens both if the form is opened on a windows and on a mac.
I found an article with google talking about a font that needed to be installed, but being very inexperienced with mac, I'm a bit at a loss if it's in Acrobat or on the mac the font is to be added, and how to do that.
Anybody that can enlighten my darkened mind ? :-)

My FCP X does not recognize my external drive and extra internal drive

I recently had to reinstall FCP X because I found a "?" in my dock when I wanted to work on a project. The app had also disappeared from the Applications file. I had taken a class at the technical college and last opened the program in the lab at school a week earlier. I had been woirking on the project which I had put on my external 3 gb drive. Now, after reinstalling FCP X, my extra internal hard drive and my external drive does not show as an option when I open the program. I cannot access my projects in the Project Browser. I had made four backups, or versions, so I continue to work on the video. Nothing show in the Project Browser. I would like to get to video which I had worked on for some time. The program had work well all semester - until now. Bummer!

It may be that the DVD drive is not getting enough electrical power. Try a powered hub, one that has a separate connection to an AC outlet.
Ciao.

Hard drive (internal) not showing up on desktop

One of my internal hard drives is not showing up on the desktop. (Soft freeze after waking from sleep mode. I pushed the reset button on the front of the tower. Haven't seen anything on that hard drive since. I haven't been able to access it since.)
Hard drive shows up in disk utility but I can't mount it. Looks something like this:
74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
There is nothing below that. (Normally indented below is the name ie. Macintosh HD)
I cannot verify or repair disk or disk permissions. I cannot mount it. All these options are grayed out. I took it to the Apple store genius bar. They think the disk is fine but "the partition is lost." (I didn't partition the hard drive. Don't really understand what that means.) I've tried Data Rescue (369 hours remaining) nothing is being recovered.
I've tried Disk Warrior. In the "Hardware" option I can choose the disk and run a test. It says it is fine. ("This hard drive's built-in S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics indicate the drive is functioning normally. Test complete") In the "Directory" option the disk doesn't show up. So I can't rebuild the directory.
What else can I do?
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The Apple System Profiler shows all the correct info except the name is "unknown." The only 2 places that seem wrong are the desktop - no hard drive, and in Disk Utility. I don't know what it's called, but the line directly under the listed hard drive in Disk Utility (74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1) should have the name of the hard drive (Macintosh HD) listed but it does not. It should look like this but with an icon of a hard drive in front of each line:
74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
Macintosh HD
The second line (Macintosh HD) is not there. The other hard drives have their names listed. Apple seems to think this is a problem but other than running Data Rescue and Disk Warrior (neither of which did anything) they have not given me any other suggestions.
The computer knows the hard drive is there but it won't let me access it. I have done, tried, and checked all the easy stuff. (Cables, any and every type of connection, restarting holding down option + apple + F + O and all the other restart variations with and without the OSX CD, and running "rescue" programs.) Nothing has worked. Short of an exorcism, I'm out of ideas.

Disk Utility does not show my internal hard drive.

Recently, my Macbook Pro crashed.
THE PROBLEM
1. I turn it on, it starts normally at first, the Apple Logo Shows for several seconds
2. It changes to a no-smoking sign without the cigarette
3. If I try to boot safe mode, a folder appears with a question mark
4. If I try the internet recovery, I get to the part where I can restore OSX, use disk utility, etc.
5. When I try to restore OSX, it doesn't show my hard drive as avilable to install upon - no drives are shown
6. When I try to use disk utility, it only shows my Mac Base System, totaling 2GB, I cannot do anything.
THE QUESTIONS
1. What do I do? Thoughts? How do I recover my hard drive data before sending this computer to Apple to fix?
2. How can I use an external enclosure to recover my data using my desktop? What cords do I need? What is a good drive? Is it hard?
3. My SD card slot shows, could I install OSX on that and try to load my OSX to gain access to my harddrive that's missing?
4. Why would my main hard drive not show? I'm supposed to have a 250GB hard drive.
5. Is there anything I can do on Terminal to try to make my full hard drive appear? Or gain access?
6. What will Apple do with my RAM that I installed? I upgraded to 8GB? Will they just return as is?
Thank you.
Model: MBP from Mid-2010 13" running OSX Mountain Lion 250GB HD

Youre working the wrong end trying to revive a dying drive, a replacement is only $65
Did you have a backup of your vital data?
Terminal isnt going to do anything to help your HD.
questions:
1. get a new HD, install OS........recovery internal HD data using another computer and throwing the internal HD into a USB enclosure to extract data......however depending on the HD, data extraction may prove futile.
2. external USB enclosure, comes with USB cable....takes 3 mins to put internal HD into enclosure.
3. no,...... installing OS on a dying drive is beating a dead horse,...
4. because its dead/ dying.
5. no
6. Yes, they wont mess with your RAM.
Contact Apple for fix, of if you have the skills you can install a new HD yourself

I have a G4 Quicksilver running 10.5.8. Because the oS is on a small hard drive I coied the folders from that HD to a much larger drive via an external USB drive enclosure. I then installed the larger drive as an internal in the G4, but it does not show

I have a G4 Quicksilver running 10.5.8. The OS is on a small HD with no room for adding any info or applications, so I have copied the OS to a much larger HD in an external USB enclosure. I dragged each folder from the small drive to the larger drive. I can access the applications when the large drive is set as an external drive, but when I installed it internally it would not show up on the Start Up Disc utility and I can not boot from it. Did I do something wrong copying the OS? Can anyone tell me how to boot from the larger drive? Thanks

If your machine doesn't support large drives natively (Quicksilver 2002 and later) then doing as you are doing may lead to disaster.
If files are placed on a large drive and those files extend beyond the 128 GB limit of the controller, the first time the drive (internally) accesses data beyond the 128 GB region, the machine will crash and data loss a likely result.

Extra internal HD not showing up
