How can i mount 2nd and 3rd SATA drives during install

I have 3 SATA drives in my desktop.
all ext3.
I installed, and set up sda as /, but then it asks if i want anything else mounted. I want to put in sdb and sdc, but I select ext3, and it says it will wipe it.
I installed Arch before, but i can't remember what i did. Those drives are full of stuff, so i don't want to risk formatting it just to mount it.
ideas?
thanks

are you saying it will keep my data intact?
If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to mount X partition with a pre-existing filesystem. It has pre-existing data, and you want to keep that data intact.
If this is the case, answer "no" when it asks "Would you like to create a filesystem on /dev/sdb1?"

How can I use a remote CD/DVD drive to install MacOS 10.4?

Hello,
My old iBook G3 needs to be updated to MacOS 10.4 however its CD drive doesn't work. I have an retail copy of Tiger and have put it in my iBook G4 but when I open the installer it doesn't allow me to choose my mounted iBook G3 (which I have connected through a wireless network). How can I use my iBook G4's CD/DVD drive to install MacOS 10.4 on my iBook G3?
Any help would be appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

'Making matters worse' seems a bit excessive, since it isn't that uncommon for an optical drive to die in an otherwise perfectly good machine. (Ask parents with inquisitive kids, for example!
Plus, this is an iBook, & I don't believe OWC sells replacement internal drives for them, only for PowerBooks, so it doesn't seem that unreasonable to suggest that he first try something that has a good chance of doing what he wants to do, which is install Tiger on the iBook, rather than suggest anything that may or may not be appropriate for his situation.
Since he already has purchased the DVD, the most he is risking with the TDM approach is the cost of a 6 pin to 6 pin FW cable, which he still should find useful no matter what else he decides to do. If nothing else, it shouldn't cost anymore than the exchange of the DVD for CD's, right?

Can ipod touch 2nd and 3rd generation have a new battery put in? if so whats the cost?

please help

Depends on whether you have Apple do the job or a third party repair company (which is usually a little less). Here are Apple's repair quotes.

How can i write max and min data online during acquisition

Hello,
I am not keen with programming and your help will be greatly appreciated.
I make temperature acquisition from an IR camera and I record online 38 different spots at a frequency of 10 samples/min.
I also record two temperatures from thermocouples at the same sampling rate.
I would like to make the acquisition during 5 sec every 20 sec and extract the max and min temperature from the thermocouples and write these values in a text file like show below :
Temp_max 5 sec 22.1
Temp_min 5 sec 2.1
Temp_max 10 sec 42.1
Temp_min 10 sec 4.1
Temp_max 15 sec 82.1
Temp_min 15 sec 6.1
I also would like to make the same with two or three different spots of the IR camera. I think that if I have a good solution for the thermocouple, I can make it for the camera.
I use LabView 8.2 with NIDaqmx acquisition.
Thank you in advance

Hello Evrem,
Thank you for your advice. In fact, I have already attended to the training course you mentioned. I should think about going to the module Basic II. I do not have problem to connect/pilot various type of instruments but I am not very efficient with loop and arrays !
I am fine with the data acquisition and the timing and I can sort data during 5 sec with "Array max & min". Then, I can display all data. What I have problem to do is to extract the max & min from the array, keep these 2 values for being writtten in a file at the end of my loop and start again during the next 5-sec cycle. At present, I only have the last max & min results from the last acquisition !
Any example of how recording max & min online during 5-sec cycle acquisition will be welcome.
Best regards,
Labdummy

How can I organise photos and reduce hard drive ?

Hi,
I have a 750GB HD and with only 30GB available now. Without replacing the current HD what is the best way to find out file size and where the storage is being used (iphotos is 40000 photos so big !) Whats the best way to reduce and transfer files ?
Thanks

To move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Dunning 2nd and 3rd letter

Hi SAP Guru
How i can get Dunning 2nd and 3rd letters
I have getten dunning 1st letter but i am not able to get sencond and 3rd
what is the process , Thank you in advance

Hi,
Line items should reach minimum number of days, referring to the due date of net payment, to reach a certain dunning level.
In FBMP check you dunning interval. If line item has reached interval maintained for 2rd and 3rd level then items will not be dunned.
Also check dunning levels for your dunning procedure in FBMP.
If you find no problem with dunning settings then, activate additional log for the dunning run to identify exact reason for the problem.
Thanks!

Adding a 2nd and 3rd Drive

I just added a 2nd and 3rd ata drive to my 450 MHZ tower. The motherboard had an open plug that said ata.
I plugged in the cord (strip) that came with the drive into the board and into the additional hard drives.
(fyi) I took both hard drives and strip from a working unix server.
I plugged in power to each.
I started up the mac. It shows the 1st drive on the desktop, but no others. Disk utility doesn't see the new drives either.
What did I miss?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi omoriginals ,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Your computer can only mount two drives unless you add another ATA controller card in an empty PCI slot. There's one bus that has the ability to control two drives.
The additional drive and cable you installed will need to be removed. The other that you attached to the existing data cable needs to have its jumper set to "slave" and then attach it to the center position on the cable. The jumpers are small plastic and metal blocks that connect two pins located next to where the data cable attaches to the drive. There should be a diagram on the drive for the settings. Just set it, reinstall then format it with Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder).

HOW can I FIX Mavericks and Safari 7.0 to allow Gmail to work? Gmail has been FUBAR'd since downloading Mavericks today. Finally found the brute-force logout site to just getr logged out; can't keep doing that. Other features no longer work, either.

Made big mistake of downloading Mavericks today.
Been struggling with all the FUBARd messes it caused, ALL DAY.
Google basic buttons don't work--can't log out or other basic functions.
Website use is impaired.
It took almost 3 hours to do a basic online order on one of them--at this rate, I'll be out of business soon, and it's seriously impairing Christmas preparations!
Google Voice/Video are screwed up, had to RE-download their voice/video plugin all over again--again.
Voice/video quality is REALLY poor.
Lag times in so many things are bad.
Thought this would download WITH the better writing/bookkeeping programs--NOT!
Mac Maps is piddle compaired with GoogleMaps.
The Email program on the desktop is REALLY hard to use, has few useful functions. It's MAYbe good if one only has ONE email; using it with severeal various email accounts is a serious liability in many ways--like filing, sorting, marking, etc.; no clear way to move email files to an external drive to save, to unload the HD.
HOW can Safari and Mavericks be fixed?
IF not, HOW can I REMOVE Mavericks and get back to Mountain Lion--which was not too great, but certainly more functional than Mavericks!
I NEED my web-based emails to work--NOW...NOT when Mac finally gets around to fixing things sometime later.
I NEED online ordering to work--NOW--not later when Mac finally gets around to fixing things.
PLEASE someone--any help out there? I couldn't even find but a rare hint that Safari 7.0 even exists--much less that anyone admits it's got problems, nor fixes for it.
What to do? Throw the whole unit out? Wipe and reboot? Dumb it back to OS 10? HOW? WHAT?
[freaking out here...]

Zak Adelman, LexSchellings,
It's a shiney new computer. Came loaded with Mountain Lion.
Too busy learning to use the blessed thing, to download anything....except...
The only pluggin that had to be loaded, was Google Voice-Video pluggin, while Lion was still it's OS. [AND been using the Safari that came already in it.]   Had to do that a couple times--nothing new there--that plug-in had to be re-loaded when using a PC, too--THAT happened even before Google slammed everyone into coerced use of it's Google+.
    [I understood from others, that Firefox won't work in Mac units--or I woulda put that in it to see if that solved anything]
This unit seemed a bit sluggish from the git-go, out-of-the-box.
I figured that was probly the local DSL here---rural DSL is...um...our DSL's not something to brag about, but it's the best we can do...
The difference between speed of loading pages, etc. on the new Mac, was --not-- toooo terribly different--though yes, slower on Mac....and chalked it up to my inexperience with Mac.
Been trying to get things up and running for a bit over a month now.
NOT doing very well at it--just barely getting by; rapidly falling behind what needs done [work].
Google worked just --OK-- when OS was Lion, as did the Google voice/video--slower, and voice-video was kinda scratchy or glitchy, but worked enough to --get by--.
Loading Mavericks, ruined that.
VOIP calls via Google talk have bad echio, static, cut-outs; video calling was pixilated or not working; WAS cued to re-load it's Voice-Video plug-in....which seemed to help a bit, though not very well; it only helped the Voice-Video some, not all--figured that was probably Google issues, less than Mac's, since Google has been increasingly dysfunctional as they have twisted it to be a social media-dominant thing.
[[now seeking an email venue that does what Gmail was good at, including the Voice-video calling, that has no intention of turning itself inside out to be "social"]]
Can't sign out of Gmail or Google+, nor use buttons in upper right corner with the drop-down menu.
NO buttons in upper right corner cluster on Gmail work, except the name+ button to toggle over to Google+---which I don't need! [yeah--THAT's a Google problem!]
Can only switch to HTML version by catching that button as the account signs in--if one fails to be fast enough with their fingers, it goes to Google+; can't get to email unless type in mail.google.com.
Managed to catch that button today, and clicked to use HTML "permanently" until these issues get solved.
ALSO:
Have fairly new [about 1 year?] HP bluetooth printer-scanner.
BUT, after Mavericks loaded: it HAS the unit listed, HAS drivers for it, HP unit IS listed as default printer, everything --seems-- "go",
.....except Mac keeps posting it's out of ink, and/or, not hooked up, and/or not turned on--even when it is on.
It's SUPPOSED to be blue-toothing that printer/scanner.
It did it for Lion, before loading Mavericks, even though it was troublesome to get it to work, it at least HAD printed one document when Lion was the OS.
Thank you...Downloaded EtreCheck:
BTW: Trying to copy/paste data from that check list, to this post, was achaic:
had to use Edit, select all, then use edit again to get it pasted--the mouse buttons weren't allowed to copy-paste using right-click functions [is this a relic limited-function "thing" with Mac?, or is it because I wanted to keep using this new wirless, non-Mac mouse?].
Advice?

What's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation

PLEASE HELP! New Apple user and looking to purchase a used 2nd or 3rd generation ipod touch.
what's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation?
apparently I am told that the 2nd gen does not have the capabilities of listening without headphone? and the 3rd gen does??

Hi maximumslowness - (great name),
The 2nd gen Touch has one internal speaker, so you can listen to it, (both left and right channels) without headphones.
However - it's a small single speaker and it is not very loud. It's not designed for quality listening (neither is the speaker on the 3rd gen as far as I know) and probably will not be adequate if there is a lot of background noise nearby.
One option is to drop the iPod (not literally!) into an iPod Docking station so that the sound can play out through a self-contained mains-powered amplified speaker, which will also charge your iPod. There are many on the market. On the bottom of the iPod is the 30-pin dock connector which can be used to feed the audio to a docking station. Another option is simply to use a cable to connect from the headphone socket to the audio input on any amplifier.
Yet another is to plug in a small fold-up style speakers, such as
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Portable-Folding-Speakers-iPods-Players/dp/B000A1QKNU/re f=sr_1_84?ie=UTF8&qid=1332326622&sr=8-84
or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-Capsule-iPhone-Laptop-Speaker/dp/B002XNO7FQ/r ef=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1332326656&sr=8-6
I've no idea how good the sound is, you'll have to judge that for yourself. The links are both to a UK store, but most countries will have a similar option.
I do not recieve any form of payment or compensatiion for the above links.

Video card to run 2nd and 3rd monitors cs5.5

Hello all,
I have a powerful system with multiple hard drives that I use to cut HD DSLR footage on in CS5.5. My GTX 570 runs my 1st monitor and my 9600GT runs the 2nd and 3rd monitors with great success.
1st monitor = timeline
2nd = bins
3rd = full screen preview (Highest quality preview)
The reason I use the gtx 570 to run only the first monitor is because it idles much higher and hotter connected to two monitors. (Disables the down clocking feature on the card when connected to multiple displays).
Well the 9600gt has died.
I don't want to spend alot of money here but I am not sure what video card I require for my 2nd and 3rd monitors. Keep in mind the 3rd monitor is the full screen preview.
I know premiere pro uses my 570gtx for the MPE but I have no idea how this effects (if it does at all) my 3rd preview monitor since I have had it plugged into my 9600gt.
There for I am not sure if I can get away with a cheap card like a $50.00 Nvidia GT 610 or do I need something at least equal or greater then my old 9600gt?
Thanks!,
Kieran

I had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives

i had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives. can i put the drives in external cases and plug them all in, will the imac see them as a raid slice then help please

Before you have another accident:
Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
And no backup, none at all...
Get your hands on a G4.
Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.

Apple TV (2nd and 3rd Generation) - Home Sharing Not Working but Airplay Does

Hi everyone,
This has been a bit of a ongoing problem, so I'll provide a bit of background.
I am running a Mac Mini (Late 2012) Running Yosemite 10.10.1 as a media server running 10TB of Movies, TV Shows and Music off a NAS Drive. Running iTunes 12.0.1.26. Main hard drive is a 256GB SSD.
I also have 5 Apple TV's in the house, 2 are 3rd Generation (running iOS 7.0.2), 3 are 2nd Generation (running iOS 6.2.1).
The goal is to watch the TV Shows and Music through Home Sharing.
Home sharing works perfectly through the 3rd Generation Apple TV's, as does Airplay. I never have a problem with these. Mac Mini (or any other device for that manner) has no issues accessing the NAS.
The 2nd Generation Apple TV's are a continual source of frustration. They are connected to the network, can access the iTunes store, can accept Airplay signals from the Mac Mini, iPads, iPhones, etc. Can even detect the other (2nd and 3rd Gen Apple TV's). But frequently, when I try and connect to Home Sharing, I receive the error message "Cannot connect to Home Sharing", even though if I jump on the Mac Mini, I can airplay the content to that Apple TV just fine.
Is this just a 2nd Generation Apple TV Issue (to make us go an upgrade all our Apple TV's to 3rd Generation)?
I have completed the following troubleshooting steps, to no success.
1) Reset the Apple TV's (Multiple Times)
2) Sign out of Home Sharing\iCloud\iTunes Account, reset, and sign back in.
3) Restore the Apple TV to the latest firmware and set up again.
4) Test the device on Wireless and Wired Network.
5) Reset all network infrastructure.
6) Power Cycle the Apple TV's for 15 minutes.
7) Reset iTunes.
8) Sign out of Home Sharing\iCloud\iTunes Account in iTunes, Reset the Mac Mini, and Sign back in.
9) Reinstall iTunes.
10) Reset the Mac Mini and NAS.
11) Reformat the Mac Mini and update to latest operating system (Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1).
12) Try home sharing from a Windows PC (Windows 8.1, x64).
Literally out of ideas. Am I chasing a Unicorn on this one? Would love some help.
Thanks!

Good to know your Apple IDs are fine.
So I've been experimenting with de-authorizing and re-authorizing computers and devices and the symptoms you are experiencing are reminiscent of devices and computers unable to authenticate with Apple's servers.
What I would do is try de-authorizing and re-authorizing computers and devices to see if things return to normal. Start with the computers first. You can quickly de-authorize the computers by logging in to your iTunes Store account and using the 'Deauthorize All' button. After clicking the button wait a few minutes for it to propagate. You will know that the computers have been de-authorize when the Account Information page says "0 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID." Other devices like Apple TV and iPads and such do not count on that list.
Once de-authorized, re-authorize them from the 'Store' menu in the iTunes app. You will know all three computers have been re-authorized when the Account Information page says "3 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID." Now try and play your content with Apple TV. If it still doesn't work turn Home Sharing off on the Apple TV and then re-enable it using your Apple ID.
Hopefully this brings back your Home Sharing functionality.

How can i mount dd-image

Hi All!
I've created dd-image of SOLARIS-partition (c0t0d0s2).
Could anybody tell me, how can i mount slices in created dd-image? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user2915199 on Oct 17, 2012 8:11 AM

Hi.
1. In case on this device was created just one slice on whole disk:
lofiadm -a <path_to_mage>
mount /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
2. In case was created more than 1 slices. You can use dd for copy every separeted slice to separete file
and create many lofi-devices.
dd if=<image> of=<slice_image> skip=<start cyl for this slice> count=<cyl_num> bs=<cyl_size>
In case you don't know original partition table for this disk, you can read
/usr/include/sys/vtoc.h
and try get reguired information with od

Does the Ipad 2 3rd generation have the two cameras? What is the difference between the Ipad 2 , 2nd and 3rd generation?

Does the Ipad 2 3rd generation have the two cameras? What is the difference between the Ipad 2 , 2nd and 3rd generation?

All iPads have the camera except the very first generation. You can only buy an iPad2, the new iPad (4th gen) and the iPad Mini now. You can compare for yourself.
