How burn .dmg on a USB Hard Drive?

Is there a third party program out there where I can burn a dmg file onto a USB Hard Drive and make it bootable?

Try mounting the dmg, and then using an application such as SuperDuper to clone it to the hard disk.

How to i get my usb hard drive to auto show on desk top

Hi
I have a small business and so multiple macs with 1 single external hard drive for storage
One of the Macs automatically connects to the USB hard drive when the mac starts up in a morning, whereas with the others you have to search for the shared drive and manually connect to it.
We have now changed to a new hard drive and would like all the Macs to automatically link in the morning and so wondered how this is done. Also the older mac is now still looking for the old drive and I cant stop it!
Hope this makes sense?
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Michael

You need to find the IP of that drive.
If they in fact do show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.

What packages to install, and how to install in an USB hard drive

Hello.
Well, as I said in another thread, I want to install in an USB hard drive. But I don't know how, because it hasn't graphical installer, but text installer. I tried in a virtual machine, and it was fine, but when I want to start it, an error appears, "Was not found a bootable system" or something. Maybe a VM is not as a computer, but... well. I didn't change anything while I was installing GRUB, and I know that I've to install it in /dev/sdb.
And I want to know too, what packages to install and what packages don't (the ones which are neither "base" nor "base-devel"). But I'll install sudo, links and ndiswrapper (for wifi).
Thanks, and excuse me if my English is bad.

Gotta use the wiki my friend and this one is even translated into Spanish:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … C3%B1ol%29
As to your question about which packages you'll need beyond those in base and base-devel - that depends on what you want on your system... no one can answer that but you!
Welcome to Arch.

How do I access a USB hard drive plugged into my AirPort Extreme from a PC?

Hi
I have an AirPort Exteme, and my cousin and I are having no trouble accessing it from our MacBook Pro, however when it comes to my other cousin, she can't find it fron her PC (operating on windows 7). When the MacBook Pro's open finder it is just sitting under 'shared'. How do I get my cousin to access the Hard Drive from her PC? She is connected to the Wi-Fi network just fine
Thanks in advance!

Download the Airport utility for PC from Apple - I use this to connect - This should load the Airport Base Station Agent in the system tray which can be used to connect. It should appear as a Network Drive (Z:)

Leopard - how do I share a USB Hard Drive on the Network

Hi All, All my media is on a USB2 hard drive on my iMac (bedroom PC). I'd like to share the videos with a mac mini running Leopard, which is in the living room. I've shared the folder, enabled file sharing in system preferences, but for some reason, am not being able to see the shared folder on any of my other macs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I totally agree. It was frustrating that it would add to the sharing list just like any other folder and say it's shared but then not appear on the network on other computers.
Another thing I have noticed when I share a folder on a fat32 drive is that the permissions it displays are different. It will display "Daniel Read & Write" twice and then "Everyone Read", while when I share a folder on a MAc OS Extended (Journaled) drive it displays "Daniel Read & Write", "Users Read" and "Everyone Read". So perhaps this has something to do with it. I did have a quick play and change the permissions to read & write for everyone and still no joy.
I also tried connecting to my imac from my macbook as Daniel which gave me network access to every folder on my imac (even if not shared) but still the FAT32 drive did not appear, but the Journaled one did. I will carry on playing with this but I do think it is a bug in the OS. I never got round to trying this on Tiger, do you know if it was fine there?

Airport Extreme won't show the WD external hard drive I plugged into the USB port. How do I connect my external hard drive to my network?

I plugged in my WD external hard drive into my Airport Extreme via the USB port. The hard drive will not show up in the disk section in the airport utility... How do I hook an external hard drive up to the airport extreme? I have tried 2 different WD hard drives. I must be missing something!!!
Thanks!

To be recognized by the AirPort for sharing, the WD HDD has to be formatted in either HFS+ (ideal) or FAT32. The easiest way to format the HDD is to use the Disk Utility in OS X.

How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there? How can you do this?

You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:

How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
Any ideas?
Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4 the broken imac was on mavericks

This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?

kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will. However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive. There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure. If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

How can I control media with ipad on xtreme usb hard drive

Trying to use usb hard drive off extreme via ipad and iphone as a media server to go on my boat. My aim is to have the express with hard drive to have all my movies and music on it and use ipad, powerbook and iphone to control this through apple tv to my 42 inch LCD tv.
I am pulling my hair out here. Have purchase new Xtreme and plugged in a usb hard drive and think I have set it up properly as I can see and mount the hard drive on my powerbook and play videos etc via wifi (also conected to the internet) . Also when I have the xtreme and drive mounted on my mac I can access and play the media on the xrpess server on ipad via app called quick explorer.
Problem is that it seems to be picking up the xpress usb drive via the powerbook as when I shut down my powerbook I can see the usb drive but it keeps on deniying me the permission even though the passwords are correct.
Does anyone know if there is a correct way of setting this up to work or if there is an app or does apple have a way for their standard players to pickup the usb drive and control the media via iphone or ipad.
VERY FRUSTRATING

HT1178 how to install a usb hard drive though air port time capsule

I am looking to connect a usb hard drive to my time capsule airport. The primary purpose of this drive is to create a shared drive between the three computers in the house, not for time machine. Is there any specific steps or procedures I need to know to make this happen? thanks.

Plug it in, click here, and follow the instructions. The drive needs to be formatted as FAT16, FAT32, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and may need to be connected through a powered USB hub.

How do I view a file from a usb hard drive connected to my airport extreme base station on my ipad 2?

Hi,
I just purchased the airport extreme base station. I have a usb hard drive connected to the base station. Is it possible to view this hard drive on my ipad 2? I have been unable to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't, not natively. An app like FileBrowser:

may make this possible, though.
