HD flavor of NBC SC has gone AWOL

Halfway through today's Indy race, we lost 590, the NBCSC HD channel. Simply went blank.  The low def version, 90, works OK but of course that does not help when all of my DVR stuff is set to 590.  It is not "unavailable".  It is simply blank.
Is this a personal problem?

Before you create a RAID, zero each drive, then test each one with QuickBench or another utility and make sure they both perform identically. Even load each to 90% full with test data.
What make/model of drives? What controller does Formac connect to? or is it FireWire? SATA?
Not all SATA drives work on all systems or work w/o a controller. Especially some drives with SSC feature set enabled.
For stripping or mirror, you might even want to look into SoftRAID
http://www.softraid.com
they have a demo and a good manual and quick start guide.
http://www.amug.com has excellent reviews, some are almost a "HOW TO" to using Disk Utility and creating RAIDs. What controllers to use, drive cases etc.
I hope this Formac was not an internal mounting kit.

  • TC disk has gone AWOL

    After several attempts to back up my old Powerbook running 10.5.8 to my 500Mb TC, the TC volume has gone off line. After power cycling the TC, I get a message that the drive has problems, and airport utility basically gives me the option to erase the drive or ignore the issue (some option, eh?). I chose to ignore since I have other files on the TC volume, and now I can't get the TC volume up at all, so I can't even attempt any kind of disk repair.
    Has anyone else experienced this kind of TC flakiness? Any solutions out there?
    TIA,
    Ed

    In all probablity the invisible bit got set on the startup drive. It happens. See for instance this discussion thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1737861&tstart=0
    That should have all the information you need.

  • LUN has gone AWOL - Solaris 10 x86, Emulex HBAs, IBM DS8300

    We're setting up a test environment for our backup software, currently running on Windows, but targeted for Solaris. This is also a test of our first Solaris x86 deployment.
    * HP DL580 G5 server.
    * Solaris 10 x86 10/08 w/patch cluster from ~March 18th.
    * One dual port Emulex HBA
    * IBM DS8300 SAN
    When we first set this up, we could see the one LUN in format. After adding in the IBM Multipathing software, the LUN disappeared and the FC devices are shown as unconfigured in `cfgadm -al`. We removed the IBM multipathing software, but still cannot see the LUN. Did a reconfiguration reboot and all that.

    Ok, so after that detailed message, my SAN admin just realised he hadn't assigned any LUNs to the server. :D
    The LUN that we had seen previously was an artifact from an earlier configuration.

  • System preferences dialogue box has gone awol

    I was trying to watch a video on the support area of the apple site and had no sound. I clicked the apple top left and clicked system preferences but no panel appeared. nothing appeared, just the desk top. I tried the System Preferences icon in the dock at the bottom of the screen but again nothing appeared on the desktop. this worked before, any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.systempreferneces.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. If that didn't help, go back to your Home folder Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file to the Trash. See if that helps.

  • Copy-and-paste has gone AWOL!

    I suddenly cannot copy-and-paste text from one application to another (from Appleworks Word Processor to a new empty AOL email, for ex.) using either mouse or keyboard. I also cannot drag any icons on the desktop. I could do all of these a few days ago. But I can copy-and-paste text from one Appleworks WP file to another. Appreciate any ideas.
    Bob at:
    [email protected]

    I received an email suggesting a solution, which did solve my problem. Here's what I did:
    1. I trashed two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    2. To be sure I had the correct files, I used "FIND" from the FILE menu and searched for each file name.
    3. Since I could not DRAG files, I selected "MOVE TO TRASH" from the FILE menu.
    4. I emptied the TRASH and re-started the computer.
    All is now OK. I can once again COPY-AND-PASTE between applications, and DRAG icons and files on the desktop.
    Thanks for the help!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

    Hi 1283ar.
    Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
    However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
    If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
    My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    I updated to Firefox 4 and was about to go to Fire FTP to upload some files to a web site but it has gone from the tools menu. I have looked for it and cannot seem to find it in any other menus. Do I have to reinstall it? Does this mean I would have lost all my passwords that were stored on there??
    There was not information during installation that this would happen even though I did get the message about another add on!
