Have a LaCie external 2big RAID drive; two 1T drives in RAID 0 configuration (striped). Drive works perfectly as one big 2T external disk but Mac Installer (Lion - App Store download & Snow Leopard DVD) refuse to install OS X Lion or OS X Snow Leopard on RAID drive.
Previous RAID - two 500g's in RAID 0 had SnowLeopard/Lion installed and worked just fine as bootable drive.
Help!
Keep in mind a RAID 1 only protects you from hardware failure of one of the drives. It does not protect you if the hardware raid/chip set decides to take a vacation. Also, if FCP corrupts a file, it is written as corrupt to both drives.
I'm a big fan of separate but equal. Two drives. One goes to the site, the other remains at the hotel. At night, you back up the site disk to the the hotel disk. If something happens to the computer and the disk at the site the next day, you at least have the material back at the hotel.
eggs. baskets. that sort of thing.
good luck.

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?
In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery. -

i have macbook pro the recovery is in hard disk and not have recovery disk and hard disk stop working now i want to change hard disk but how can i recovery my macbook pro can help me ?
"it shows macintosh HD OSX 10.9.5 but the hard drive that is supposed to be in the upper right corner is not showing up. So it is booting from that drive."
Ok go to "Finder" preferences and make sure the "Hard disk" box is checked.
That will make your boot disk show up in the upper right corner. You can tell it's a boot disk because all the files will look like this instead of just being blank files. -
How does one save App Store downloads to a flash drive?
I live in South Africa, where Internet access is expensive/slow compared to the rest of the world.
For this reason, I would like to backup my App Store downloads so I can do a clean install every few years.
I've downloaded GarageBand which has been saved in my applications folder.
I have not run the installer yet.
In applications, the file GarageBand.app has been created.
If I right click on the file, I can copy it, but right clicking again doesn't give me a paste option.
Any idea how to save this file to a flash drive?
I'm running MavericksThere is no digital rights management scheme used in the Mac App Store aside from the fact that all apps/games are coded with the user's Apple ID and the Mac on which one wishes to use an app/game must be authorized to use that Apple ID's content.
The only difference in this case is that my thumb drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) because it is my bootable USB installer for Mavericks. But as you can see it works fine. -

I have an old work e mail address that was a primary apple id. The App Store uses this as a default. I have created a new apple ID and changed this in the settings but the App Store still defaults to the old address. How can I get change this as I cannot update anything at this stage. I cannot create a new password against the ole apple ID as the e mail is no longer valid, old work e mail
Hi tried the various options but ended up deleting the apps associated with the old Appleid and then accessing them from the App Store and reloading. They automatically asked for the new Appleid and password.

I would like to know if there is a way to reset to factory settings a thunderbolt display?
My display was working perfect until one day it didn't recognize anymore no one device attached to it and neither the sound and the camera work.
I have done on my macbook pro late 2011 a mountain lion clean install and the problem persist!
I would appreciate if any one could help me to resolve this problem!Thank you for your answer, I have done that and it was working for a while but after I shutdown and powered on again the problem came again... Perhaps is the conector cable, i will take the monitor to the technichians!....

"I have a 5th generation airpot extreme. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal. I shut down my Mac, unplugged the modem, router, let sit for 10 seconds, started it up and 'presto' everything worked. Then yesterday all but the macbook stopped receiving wifi again. I tried the same scenario as the other day but nothing. I reset the airport extreme to factory settings and still nothing. Is the airport extreme not working?
If it was not working the Mac would not get a signal. Restart the IOS devices and reconnect to the network

I bought a steelseries 3gc game controller for my imac but can't figure how to download the driver. When I try to open, the essage is to open from an application. which one, I,ve tried some . any suggestions?
Solved: There is no driver to install. If the lights come on for your controller, the drivers have successfully been installed and the controller is ready for use. But before you can use it you must buy an app called "Joystick Mapper" from the Mac app store ($5). This will allow you to program the individual buttons' functions per the game you're playing. You will need to program multiple profiles if you plan on playing multiple games, as all games do not share the same button configuration. Also, you can clone game profiles. So if you're playing a shooter, for example, where the zoom and weapon fire buttons may be the same but there's a different button for grenades or secondary fire, you can tweak a few buttons instead of starting over from scratch.

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.
