HD not showing up at all after attempted restore. please help!

hi there,
i really hope someone is able to help me as this is driving me mad! last night my macbook pro (2009) started acting up, internet kept crashing etc. so i restarted and thats when it happened, it was stuck on the apple loading screen so i waited and waited and still nothing. shut the laptop down and booted into recovery to see what was going on, all seemed fine. i tried to reinstall lion which was clocked at 123 hours so i quit that and went straight to restore from an old backup, it got about 3% in and said it couldnt complete the action. so i went into DU to completley reformat the intenal HD and in the hardware bar it only has the HD with no partitions, i tried to make a paritition (mac os journaled) to resolve the issue but now im in this perpetual loop of attempting to make a partition but keep getting the error: Volume erase failed with the error: file system formatter failed.
(this is where i began pulling my hair out)
so back to DU if i delete all the partions from my main HD that works fine, adding new partitions with the format as FAT work fine in actually creating a mounted disk, when ever i try to make a mac os extended (journaled) partition with GUID partition table it just makes this half finished disk thats alway greyed out on the left.
so now when i attempt to reinstall ANYTHING theres no HD to install it on.
please and thankyou in advance for your help.

The drive has failed. Replace it and then restore from your TM backup. But since it is a 2009 model they are known to have problems with the cable that goes from the drive to the logic board. The drive might be fine and the cable failed. Only way to tell is to remove the internal drive from the system and connect it with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can then restore from TM to that drive. If you can the drive is fine and the cable has failed. If you can't then the drive is bad.

Outlook 2013 Signatures not showing up at all after transferring signatures from Outlook 2010

Hello,
first time on here asking a question needing help. I recently bought a new machine, windows 7 Pro and Outlook 2013. I successfully brought over my .pst files from my old machine running Outlook 2010, Windows 7. This was great and easy, got to keep
all my settings, rules, and private folders for Outlook 2010 right into Outlook 2013. Then it was time to move my signatures over, I did so with ease however when I went to my signatures in 2013, NOTHING was present, not 1 out of 30 signatures I have.
I sure dont want to rewrite each one over again. I restarted, made sure the signatures were in the right spot in Outlook 2013. I also tried putting the signatures in another folder and importing them in, nothing. What is the deal? Can someone please
tell me what I'm doing wrong or has anyone had this issue? Please help. and thanks.

Just to check, so you went into C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures on your old machine and copied ALL of the files & folders you found there, and moved them over to the same folder location on your new machine.
After doing that when you start Outlook and look in File, Options, Mail, Signatures you see nothing listed under "Select signature to edit" at all?

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

Freespirit777 wrote:
PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.
Freespirit777 wrote:
It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

The MacBook Pro turn on but not show anything on the screen.. Please help me

I have a MacBook Pro15 2011 2.2 i7. The computer turns on and makes the chime and you can hear it and the fan runs but the problem is that it doesn't show anything on the screen and the apple logo doesn't turn on Also none of the ports works

Try these 3 things
SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Try a pram reset:
Power off, power on, hold the following keys, option,comand,P,R (no commas) hold thes keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, the release. Reboot and see if you have anything
The other thing you can try is a safe (be patient as this will take a little longer boot). power off, power on holding the shift key continue to hold the shift ket till you see the progess bar, then you can release the key, let it finish booting, and try doing some things on the machine. This will disable the 3rd party software so only native sftware will run. f all is well there is a problem with a3rd party application causing the issue. Try rebooting mormal, snd see if things have gotten better.
If not take it to the Apple store and have it disgnosed, they do not charge for this, and will give a price of repair. Most of the time it is a flat rate, if there is no evidene of liquid damage they will repair what is broken for the same price. About 13rd the price of a replacement. If your machine is less than one fear old it should be covered by the warranty, if you have ApplECare you have 3 years from date purchase.
All the best

HT2292 ipod is not showing in my computer or in itunes please help

Just got my first ipod. Followed all instructions for troubleshooting. Ipod icon does not appear in itunes as a device or in my computer, nothing is happening when I attach ipod to computer, very frustrating. again have followed all troubleshooting directions, any ideas?

Start here:

Finder is not showing up when I startup my Imac::: Please help!

When I start up my Imac G5 and login, I see only my desktop image and the spotlight icon in the top right corner. When I rollover the spotlight I get the spinning wheel. The only thing that is getting Finder to launch is inserting a CD; when I do that Itunes and Finder, dock etc. all show up and work normally.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Also, I just updated Itunes and OSX if that has anything to do with this problem.

Spotlight is probably indexing, if you have a fair amount of data, it can take a while.
If you used Software Update to download 10.4.9, try re-updating using the 10.4.9 combo update, that often solves problems like yours.
Please post back,

Some Devices are not showing up at all in the Discovery reports

Hi all,
The first time I ran the CS device discovery I got 50 reachable devices. I scheduled the Device Discovery to be run every week. I added more subnets to the discovery but unfortunately the last discovery shows only 31 devices from the first discovered devices (50). I checked the DCR and there is only 44 devices out of the 50!
My question is:
Should not the scheduled Device Discovery discovers all devices -the previously discovered ones and the new ones-?
Why the rest of the devices are not showing up at all in the discovery reports (neither reachable nor unreachable) although all of them are pingable and responding to the snmpwalk tool from the CWLMS server.
Your kindly respond is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I ran the discovery again with the same settings after enabling debugging and I checked the following log files:
1. in the ngdiscovery.log I found a lot of errors all about Duplicate IpAddress example:
ERROR [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-06 addNewDevice] : Duplicate IpAddress (127.0.0.51) found in addNewDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.29 , id1 = 127.0.0.51*F1COR.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.106 , id2 = 127.0.0.51*LCD.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283
ERROR [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-08 updateDevice] : Duplicate IpAddress (127.0.0.51) found in updateDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.93 , id1 = 127.0.0.51*UDS.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.73 , id2 = 127.0.0.51*F2COR.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283
ERROR [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-09 addNewDevice] : Duplicate IpAddress (10.8.113.42) found in addNewDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.42 , id1 = null, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.86 , id2 = 10.8.118.251*OPS.xyz.sa*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.501
2. in the CSDiscovery.log:
Error while changing the permission of the file C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\csdiscovery\1348\DiscoveryStatusObj
I checked the file and the casusers has a Modify permission
My Question is:
1. what is the meaning of those output exactly?
2. If CWLMS found duplicatedd IP address how it works in terms of (ignoring, updating existing devices, Adding the new devices, ... etc)
Many thanks for your help.
