  • Please help - Urgent - fans going mad... Can it be a second hard drive...?

    Hi there. I'm afraid i know very little about the workings of a mac other than swapping drives, ram etc.
    I was made redundant a week ago and part of my severance was a 3.0QX tower... I have been leant an SSD drive running 10.6.8 which I know was working in the mac when I got it as I saw it running. I was also given a 1Tb drive as a work drive.
    Tonight after returning from a holiday I have put the 1tb into one of the spare bays and booted the machine up, instantly the fans have come on and are blowing like a hovercraft on steroids. I took out the 1tb drive and I have noticed a small bit of black tape sat from the power and data connectors it was stuck to two pins on both sides. Now the mac won't boot at all and the fans are going mad on startup this is all before the usual mac 'boot' sound.
    Please can someone advise as to whether this has shorted something or if there is a way to reboot or any advise as I have no idea and absolutely no clue and I am in mad panic mode as I am in desperate need to get this machine up and running so I can sort out my portfolio as well as website etc to get a new job ASAP.
    The tape looks like it may have caught from the Bluetooth cables near to bay 2 and have been 'cut off' when when the drive was inserted. The tape looks like the cotton/material finish as oppose to a plastic insulate tape...
    I appreciate any help as I can ill afford to replace or repair to be honest. So any feedback is better than non. Many thanks in advance.

    The chime means the Mac has passed a Power-On-Self-Test; yours doesn't which is not good news.
    I'd suggest going here and downloading the correct service manual. Based on "3.0QX tower" I think you have an early 2008 but I could be wrong; do you know which Mac Pro it is? If it is in fact the early 2008, get that manual and look at the diagnostic instructions starting on page 165. 

  • I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

    I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

    There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections.   Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function.   Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
    Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care.   If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.

    you are running the latest version of iTunes, have no other USB devices attached, have no security software installed, and are directly connected to your ISP source, simply restarting the computer and the iOS device can clear up certain issues that could prevent you from restoring. After restarting the computer and iOS device, attempt to restore again.

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing  the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
    Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know
    You might want to see if it fixes your problem.

  • Directly connecting a camera to take pictures, not simply download...

    I am about to embark on a project of taking a slew (thousands) of small product photos. I would like to direct connect a camera to my iBook so I can take pictures and have them transfer directly to the Mac. Eliminating the step of downloading a memory card (or batch downloading from a camera) would save an incredible amount of time.
    Is there a way to do this? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks...

    This is called tethered shooting. For this you’ll need a camera that can do it plus the software on your mac. For instance, Aperture and Image Capture can for some cameras. So, the first thing you need to find out is does your camera support this.

  • Hi, please help my other daughter her ipod touch is disabled connect to itunes after say its itunes couldnt connect to the ipod touch coz its is locked with a passcode?? please help how...

    hi, my daughter hers ipod touch is disabled connect to itunes after say its itunes couldnot connect to the "ipod touch" because its is locked with a passcode please help how to fix connect...i did turn off her ipod touch put usb back on there same in doenot say still ipod is disabled i dont understand please help how???

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

    hi  Maximilian Schojohann..
    First i would like to Thank you for showing  interest in solving my issue...After some research i found that desabling the " IP CEF" will solve the issue...when i desable i was able to communicate success fully with the router lan..But when i desable " IP CEF "  Router cpu processer goes to 99% and hangs...
    In the output of " sh process cpu" it shows 65% of utilization from "IP INPUT"
    so plz give me an alternate solution ....thanks in advance....

  • Directly Connect Two Macs Via Ethernet

    This has certainly been answered before, but a quick search didn't give any results. So here goes ...
    I wanted to connect two macs via ethernet. I use the mount tool in finder "connect to server" all the time with machines on a network, but I've never done with with two macs directly connected.
    So I connect them and my first instinct is to check the IP address of the machine I want to connect to. I then go to "connect to server" and type it in using the AFP protocol, but it doesn't work.
    At this point I'm stumped and not sure what to do. I don't use the "network" item in the finder sidebar very often but I clicked it, and sure enough the machine I want to connect to was listed, and I was able to connect / mount.
    So here's my question ... if I wanted to use "connect to server" tool, or even mount it manually with the mount command, how would I do it? Is it using AFP still to mount and the IP address is just bogus? Something else going on?

    But I'm telling you I tried using the IP address ... here, let me try again ...
    I find this address on the machine I want to connect to: 169.254.177.122
    I put this into "connect to server" on the machine I want to connect from: afp://169.254.177.122
    It spins for a while, then says it can't connect. Strangely, if I do a cmd-i on the machine in the network sidebar, it says: nfs:// automount ... into /Network
    So are you sure putting in the ip should work? If so what am I doing wrong?
    Okay ... plot thickens. When I cmd-i after I connect, it indeed says it is an AFP connect, but it gives the "local" name, say powerbook.local. But then, if I "ping powerbook.local" if gives me back the same IP I tried in connect to server. Huh?
    mbp:~ rjcarr$ ping powerbook.local
    PING powerbook.local (169.254.177.122): 56 data bytes
    Weird. It isn't that big of a deal ... I just like to know what is going on.

  • Direct connect NFS/CIFS with 1.4

    I see how 1.4's appliance ports can help with direct connect multipath iSCSI. Each fabric gets a VLAN/subnet, iSCSI has multiple targets via each fabric, etc.
    But I don't see how appliance ports help with direct connect NFS/CIFS. E.g.,
    In this diagram, traffic from hosts active on fabric B must go over the northbound LAN to reach the NAS. Even if every host and appliance has its NIC failover configured to prefer fabric A and perform preemption, you'll still have failures like NAS NIC's and IOM's that will cause some/all NAS traffic to go across the northbound LAN. Thus, you've got one of two situations:
        1) The LAN can handle the NAS traffic. If so, why not plug the NAS into the LAN in the first place?
        2) The LAN cannot handle the traffic, in which case you haven't built real fault-tolerance and, worse, a UCS problem can impact the LAN.
    Am I missing something here? How are appliance ports better than using switch mode, shown below?

    Yes - you have a valid point on the traffic pattern depending on what fails etc.
    Just to back up for a moment..
    Version 1.3 and below has 2 types of Ethernet ports - Uplink and Server port.
    Version 1.4 has 4 types of Ethernet ports - Uplink, Server, Appliance, Monitoring port
    In 1.3, to directly connecting a NAS to the FI's meant that you move to switch mode on the FI's and then set the port connecting to the NAS as an uplink port. What that did is that the port connecting to the NAS was a a trunk port at the FI end allowing all VLANs (i.e no VLAN filtering), no QoS settings etc.
    So if you wanted to stay in End Host mode AND not liking the above caveats, you connected the NAS to an upstream switch and not UCS and that option remains wit you today.
    What the appliance port gives you now is that the VLAN(s) the NAS belongs to can be filtered, QoS settings possible and most importantly, it works in End Host Mode (most deployments are based on it).
    The above is the rationale for the Appliance port and the port type was neeeded even if it works today in switch mode.
    Now the question comes, appliance port in EHM or Switch mode (which is what the question is).
    In EHM you are right, east-west traffic between NAS-blades could utilize the upstream network.
    You can design efficiently by specifying the fabric id (A or B as primary) or set fabric affinity if using a soft switch but  guaranteed total localization (not using upstream network) cannot be made as you correctly said depending on "what" fails.
    If all the uplinks on A fail, yes the whole thing should fail over but if a link between the IOM and the FI fails, then the servers pinned to that link will start using the external network.
    So yes, the network needs to be designed keeping the flows and what if scenarios in mind. East-west traffic not hitting upstream at all cannot be assumed.
    The long term solution is to have data links between the FI's in EHM or they are vPC peers and hence both links to the NAS from the FI's will be active/active.
    Appliance port in switch mode can be used but that also depends on which links are STP blocked etc to guarantee that.
    The topology you mentioned does that ..but then you also need to keep in mind on failurea what happens etc i.e the ISL between the FI's should always be forwarding for that VLAN.
    Thanks

  • L7680 Can't connect via Network works fine direct connected via USB Please Help!

    Greetings All,
    I have an HP L7680 that has been having this same problem since I purchased it and the only cure that has ever worked is to completley reload Windows XP and start over which I am very tired of reloading XP to resolve a printer problem.
    This has been posted by several other people but I don't see where anyone has posted a fix.
    When I first install the printer everything usualy works fine and it runs fine for a few mionths. Then the first indicatrion of a problem is the scanner quits working. Then when I try to reinstall the software the printer does not show up.  I read and tried every solution and have spent nuerous hours with HP support to no avail.
    The printer works fine direct connected via a USB cable and it works fine with two other computers on the same network. One of the other computers has the exact same OS and is the same HP model laptop.
    I don't think the uninstall is completley removing all the files or reinstalling everything fresh when I reload. I have tried the Level 1 through 4 uninstall utility posted on HP's site and have tried all sugestions posted in this forum.
    Below is a better rundown of the problem.
    When the Scan function is called, a "Scanning" window appears, and hangs
    I have an HP Laptop with XP32 Bit software
    Once the scanning window appears it stays there forever
    Only way to clear scanning page is to terminate hpoews01.exe with Task Manager
    Scanner does not show up in Paint or Photoshop ect.
    Web Scan Does work and printer shows up using IP address.
    Scanner shows up fine on a web page
    HP support in India has been no help and now my printer is out of warranty so even less help
    Thank you,
    Dave

    I had a similar problem with my OfficeJet L7680 and here's how I fixed it.  
    18APR10 - from Dan
         I lost my L7680 network link (using CAT5 from printer to router) and could not print to it over the network.  However, I could print from a PC with a USB cable directly to the printer, but there are currently three PCs connected wireless to the network.  I think I have a viable solution for anyone with the same problem and is not related to the operating system of the PCs.
         Originally, I went to the HP site and downloaded the program for the L7680, Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network and USB Connectivity and Improve System Responsive....  This worked wonders until my modem and/or router went down.  I could see ink levels from my PC, scan, print, and so on.  Then I somehow lost my network connection again.  When I checked the network settings on the L7680 printer panel (Setup, 5 - Network, 1 - View Network Settings, 2 - Display Wired Settings), I noticed a different IP address than the original 192.168.1.100.  Once I figured out how to reset the printer to that one, it connected and worked as it should. 
        Here's how to reset it:  1.  Power down all devices (wired and wireless) to the router (I even disconnected the printer power cord and CAT5 cable at the printer); 2. Power down the modem and router - wait a minute or so before powering back up;  3.  Power up the modem and give it a minute or so to go through system checks, which will normally acquire a new IP address from your ISP;  4. Power up the router and let it go through its system checks; 5.  Connect the CAT5 cable from the printer to the router and power it up before you power up and connect any other computers.  This should assign the printer the first IP address from the router, which should be 192.168.1.100.  Once the printer goes through its start-up checks, you can check its assigned IP address from its panel.  6.  Power up any other PCs or devices to the router.  They should be assigned successive IP address numbers from the router.  You can check these using a browser in the PC after typing in 192.168.1.1, logging in to the router, and checking the appropriate place in the router driver/software displayed in the browser.  I was not able to reassign IP addresses in my router's driver/software to individual devices, but this method did the trick.  I did not try to change the IP address of the printer from its panel to match what had been inadvertently reassigned to it.  That might be another option to synchronize the printer and router with the same IP address.  If the printer loses its connection again, you'll have to synchronize what the printer has with what the router shows.  This worked for me.

  • Went to watch a video on You Tube that I have watched before on my iMac and got the prompt that I had to upload Adobe Flash Player.  Did that, and am still getting the same prompt and can't watch any videos at all.  What is going on here, Apple??

    I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
    If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
    The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.

  • Can't make direct connection to router

    I cannot connect to Internet. The cable Internet router was connected to my Airport Extreme, but connection kept going down. Service guy tested all lines and put in new router with latest firmware. He then bypassed Airport extreme and made direct connection of router to IMac for testing. It worked for about an hour, then connection lost again (link light on router is down-Internet connection tested on IMac, but no connection detected). Put in new Ethernet cable, but no difference. Service guy uses MACS so tested my connection software and settings, but seems okay. Argh! I plug in PC laptop and connection with modem is fine. Service person said he has seen this before, IMac onboard card (ethernet) has failed.
    Is this possible? have rebooted, tried diagnostics cd, unplugged/plugged all cables, etc. IMac 2 yrs. old. How is this fixed & is it costly? Thanks.

    With Apple Care extended warranty it would be covered. I believe that the Ethernet port is on the logic board so that may need to be replaced. A new logic board is easily US$600.00.
    But your explanation is a bit hazy. First the wireless connection had issues and now the Ethernet has issues?
