Firewire Firelight not showing up as bootable disc on Macbook Pro

I have a Firelite FWFL40P firewire external harddrive that has system 10.4.8 installed on it. IF i hook it up to my iMac G5 , It shows up and boots as a bootable Disk (system preferences->Start-up Disk), but when I attach it to my MacBook pro Dual, it won't show up. I think it used to with older OS.
THougths?

It is because a MB only boots from a GUID Partititon Table and The G5 only boots from and Apple Partition Scheme. If you wish to use this on both machines for doc storage/transfer your best bet is the Apple Partition. If you need a bootable exteranal GUID is the only choice for the MBP. One disk cannot boot both machines. Two partitions will not work as the partition scheme is the culprit here.
Disk Utility>50 GB??(disk not volme)>Partition>Options> Here you select the partition scheme. GUID will boot MacBook only Apple will boot G5 only'

Movies Purchased on iTunes via iOS Devices not showing up in iTunes on my MacBook Pro

I have some 40 movies that I have purchased through iTunes on my iPhone. They all show up on my iOS devices as well as my Apple TV but only 8 of them show up on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have read threads from other users that found a resolution to their problem by "unhiding" the movies through iTunes in the Cloud but my account only shows Manage Devices & iTunes Match, so that didn't help unfortunately. I am runing the latest version of Mountain Lion and iTunes and I have gone to "Check for Available Downloads" but a window just pops up saying "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID". Does anyone have any ideas or guidance on what I could or should do?

Hello RepsolRider
Go to the iTunes Store > Purchases, and then you should be able to see your purchases. Click the cloud icons to download your purchases. Also go to iTunes Preferences, go to the Store tab and make sure that Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases is checked.

Microphone Input Not Showing on Garageband 10.0.1 (Macbook Pro Late 2013)

I am using GB 10.0.1, trying to connect a microphone to my Macbook Pro (Late 2013) and record a few things. But the input doesn't show up at all... The only thing that shows up is "Built In Microphone". What should I do?

an SM58 is a dynamic mic, not a condenser, it does not use Phantom power, however there still are reasons why you can not plug an SM58 directly into a Mac, and do indeed need an interface:

IPhoto 9.5.1 is not showing old albums in library on MacBook Pro

My iPhoto version recently upgraded to version 9.5.1. After this upgrade, my older albums are not showing in iPhoto. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any help will be most appreciated.

. Is there a way to go back to the old version of iPhoto?
That is difficult, since you upgraded the library to iPhoto 9.5.1.
I think my issue is that it not recognizing any of my old photos in my library.
Is your library completely empty? Then you are probably now viewing a new library and not your old library. Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? And where is your old library stored? On your internal drive or an external drive?
If you upgraded from iPhoto '08, you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, before you can open the library in iPhoto 9.5.1., see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro. I installed iOS5 on my iPad and iPhone4S. I have activated iCloud on all three devices. The Calendar changes are moving between the iPad and iPhone4S but NOT showing up in iCal on the MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

Help. I have double checked everything I and my husband can think of. I need to be able to print out my daily agenda and I can only do that from the MacBook Pro. And of course it is the devise that is not getting the updated iCal data. Any suggestions?

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

Firewire device not showing

Greetings
using a G5, tiger 10.4.9
I have been using this computer for many months with no problem using firewire devices. I recently set up a seperate user account on the computer for my daughter. Prior to this ( for many months)I had a fireiwre device - LACIE external HD -connected that would mount each time at startup and show up on the desktop. Now, I can't get the icon on the desktop of the LACIE to show when I startup. I connected a camera to the computer using firewire, but it too would not show ( before it would). When I connected the camera using USB, it showed up on the desktop. Looks like firewire devices not showing. I checkd System Profile and it shows the LACIE device as connected and functioning. But it won't show up on the desktop. Any ideas on why I can't ge the Firewire devices to show on the desktop?
Thank you in advance for you help. . . .

Sounds like you have the name wrong. Open Disk Utility and take a look to verify the volume name. Disk Utility will list the drive itself, then indented below that is the volume name. To verify that you are using the correct name, try launching Terminal and do a list command:
ls -a /Volumes/"Name of Volume"
Hit the return key and see if the contents of the volume are listed. There is a space after "ls" and another after "-a"--if you don't get anything or get an error then you might want to try
ls -a /Volumes
and try copying the name from the list and pasting into the AppleScript.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

I have a networked HP L7780 all in one printer and I can not get it to fax through my Macbook Pro. I have downloaded all the drivers and it has passed all the tests. Every time I try to fax it shows the job paused.

Try deleting the printer, deleting the job queue and reinstalling the printer again.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with. The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website: http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers. A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

About Disc of Macbook Pro

1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?

>1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
I think you meant how do you copy one hard drive to another. You can do so with a variety of backup software*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
>2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
Boot off any clone hard drive you make with the backup software that I mentioned above, and you can use Disk Utility to format your hard drive. Note you'll want at least a second external clone or Time Machine drive before you do this. Because if there is a failure of one backup during your erase, you'll be left with only one copy of your data.
>3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
Unknown. I see no technical reason why you can do this, but it may not be a bootable copy you make. Apple has said they will give you a restore partition in Lion on the specs here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Until it is released no one knows if there is any other capability, or if a DVD version of Lion might be available. This has already been asked at length on the board, with no answers until the release date.
>4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?
I can't imagine why not. The only reason might be some feature of Lion that iLife can't take advantage of necessitating an updated release of iLife. At this point Apple hasn't announced any.

MacMini doesn't show up in Finder.app on MacBook Pro

Hi,
I'm using a MacMini (2012) as a headless Server.
After upgrading the MacMini to Yosemite (10.10.2), the MacMini doesn't show up in Finder on my Macbook Pro. I'm using this for Screensharing.
Its very strange, because if the Mini sleeps, it shows up in Finder. Then I click the icon, the Mini wakes up. But then the MacMini Icon disappears. :-(
After reboot the Mini it works as expected until the Mini goes to sleep.
I think its a general problem, because all Bonjour using services (like iStat Server) doesn't work properly. All services doesn't show up automatically.
Direct connect via manual tipping in the IP in the Screensharing.app works without problems.
What I've done:
- Resetting all Network settings, by deleting the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder.
- The discoveryd service is NOT blocked in the Firewall settings.
- restarting all Router and the Airport Express
I hope u can help me.
Greeting Simon

Hi,
a dongle is already pluged in.
Its not a general problem with the Screensharing tool. Screensharing is working with dirket IP.
The problem is more the Bonjour discovery to other devices.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !
