Format and Partitoin Disk - Difference Between Running TS/LiteTouch.vbs from Desktop Vs. Bootable Flash Drive.

Hello,
I have a question about disk formatting. If run our TS from the Run box, the HD is not cleaned. The image will be applied successfully but if there were any extra partitions, HP Recovery partitions for example, they will still be present.
If run the same TS form a bootable USB drive, the HD is completely erased.
Can anyone explain the difference in running the TS from the Desktop/Run box vs. running it from a bootable drive?
Thanks.

From LiteTouch.log, the DeploymentType is NEWCOMPUTER when run off the flash drive but REFRESH when run from the desktop. LT must detect that its running in an OS and decides not to clean the drive. We do not have DeploymentType set in our
rules.
Ah, glad you found it. That's what I was going to suggest, based on what environment the TS runs from.

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Have a macbook pro running osx lion. Connected a Kindle Fire using micro usb and the disk icon doesn't show up on the desktop. Also sometimes get a message sayiing computer doesn't recognize device. When I opened disk utilities the Kindle disk does show up there. What am I missing?

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

What is the difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters?

What is the main difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters and why use one over the other, or when is one preferred over the other?
I am still fairly new to AE and am trying to better understand this, or can you point me to where i might look for the answer?
CS5 if that make a difference.

One creates masks, the other creates shape layers. There are properties that you can animate with shape layers that are not available to masks. There are also a few things you can do with masks that you can't with shape layers.
I'd suggest you take a look at the help files or do a Google Search on After Effects Shape Tutorials.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

I bought mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
and there is no 4 choices window.
I don't know what to do.

How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

Difference between running Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"

Hi all,
I'm one of the poor souls who is having trouble with the software update 10.4.6. My iMac stopped halfway while doing the update, and when it attempted to do a restart, the iMac froze. I did the mistake of forcing it to shutdown, instead of just letting it take its time.
Last night, I attempted the Safe Boot but it did not work. The progress indicator kept on spinning for hours! SHOULD I TRY IT AGAIN?
Also, can someone tell me the difference between unning Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"? I figure I might have to do one of them to repair my iMac. I just want to do something that will reduce the chances of me wiping out my files. I also have the TechTool Deluxe CD with me. Should I be using that instead?
Please help.

i just had a simialr issue with my powerbook. I stress similar, but in the end i had the same issue with the start up screen (light blue, apple icon and the spinning indicator below it. I could not get past it.
I ran disk utility from the boot disk, and got a kernel panic on verifying and and repairing permissions.
So (and this is what Im suggesting you try) in disk utility I made a disk image of my internal hard drive and saved it to an external hard drive. Takes a while but a worthy precaustion.
Second I went ahead and installed the OS on the external drive. Once that was done I boted from the external to oprn the disk image back up of my powerbooks internal drive. After that checked out i wnet back to the boot disk and did a clean install of the OS (wiping the internal) and things were fine after that.
maybe wait and see how other people respond to this before jumping into it, but its smart to back everything up on an external any day.
much luck to you

Difference between running pm-suspend and closing the lid.

Hi!
Today i noticed this strange thing: i'm using xfce4.10 and pm-utils to suspend.
This morning i noticed that running a "pm-suspend" from my terminal, won't switch off my wireless card, while suspending with xfce buttons or closing the lid, would do it.
Why? What is the difference between these two actions (running pm-suspend and closing the lid)? As far as i know, the only difference is that there is no call to upower running pm-suspend from terminal.
ps: sorry for the subject, that is not describing the question the best!
Last edited by nierro (2012-06-17 11:03:55)

Uhm yes, i know SUSPEND_MODULES array can do it.
What i was wondering is: xfce4-power-manager uses pm-suspend to suspend. So why does it something pm-suspend alone doesn't? As i said, the only difference for me, is that that button relies upon upower too. So i suspect it is upower that switch off my wireless card, isn't it?
My question is not how can i reach the same behaviour with pm-suspend alone, but what does that button in the xfce4-panel.
I'm only curious!

Difference between running a java application as jar or via batch file?Hi,

Hi,
I'm facing some strange differences in the behavior of my application , only caused by different methods to execute the application . So I have know the potential difference between these methods to locate the error.
1) running my application it with java -jar (via batch-file or command-prompt) or in eclipse works fine
2) executing the jar by double click causes problems.
The difference I know are that you can easily pass arguments to jvm, when using the jar.Maybe there is a differences in thread scheduling, but I'm not sure about that.
Can anyone tell me, the differences between these to methods of execution?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Greetings Michael

Hi,
to get a clue I have redirected the System.err and System.out to a TextArea
(see code below) and suddenly the error was gone. So according to the behavior that it had worked before in the ide and via batch file where the System stream can do unlimited writing. I think it is obvious, that something goes wrong with streams of System.
Does anyone knows what happens to messages which are send to the default streams, when running the app as jar? I normally would assume that they would point to /dev/null or something else, but as I have experienced it seems that they are blocking after a certain amount, which prevented my app from working. (By the way invoking it with javaw has the same effect.)
This goes a little bit off topic, perhaps I should post a new thread.
But this is a huge difference between java and and javaw (jar), I wasn't aware of i t until now.
Hope someone can explain me how javaw handles System.err and System.out.
Thanks for your participation.
Greetings Michael

Deployment to an UEFI enabled system using a custom Format and Partition Disk Task does not work

Hello all,
I know that MDT 2012 Update 1 has the necessary intelligence to create the GPT partition etc. when the Gather Process detects that the system is UEFI enabled. However i wanted to configure the Format and Parition task myself, so i copied the default one,
disabled it and just added a new one with the following configuration.
Disk Number 0
Disk Type = GPT
i then added
EFI, Partition Type = EFI, 500 MB, file system FAT32
MSR, 128 MB,
OSDisk 40 GB, PRIMARY
i then start the Win8 x64 Task Sequence , it formats the disks, it applies the image, but then when it reboots i cannot boot.
What am i doing wrong here ?
