How do I get my G5 to recognise my second HDD?

I was messing with my second HDD permissions and have managed to lose the HDD from my system. I inadvertantly clicked the ownership and permissions to 'no access'.
How do I reverse this process? Disk Utility won't let me do this. I am a mac newbie, so any simple advice would be appreciated.
TIA

Click on the Finder's Go menu in the menubar and choose "Go to Folder..." . In the text box that appears, enter "/Volumes/" (without the quote marks) and click "Go". You will see an alias of your drive volume there. Leave this where it it and go to the next step:
Next, choose File>New Finder Window from the Menubar, click on the Applications item in the sidebar, and then open the Utilities folder located there. Scroll to the Terminal icon in this window, and double-click it. When the Terminal appears and stops generating text, type in the following:
sudo chmod 775
Press the space bar, and then click on the first Finder window you opened. Drag the alias representing the disk you need reset into the Terminal window and press Enter. You will then be presented with a password dialog; enter your administrator password there. (Note that the password will not be shown as it is being typed in.) Next, choose Log Out from the Apple menu, and then log back in again.

How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs?

My ipad does not always recognise a pdf file as as incoming mail attachment, so I cannot always open the pdf in another app.
Although the attachment shows as a paperclip in the mail header, sometimes the content of the attachment is displayed in the body on the email. When this happens I don't get the small square window at the top right corner of the screen where you can select another app to open the pdf.
How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs and not show the content in the body of the mail message?

This is from page 44 of the iPad User Manual:
Open a meeting invitation or attachment: Tap the item. If the attachment can be used by multiple apps, touch and hold to choose an app that works with the file.
Based on this, I suggest trying this:
Touch and hold an area of the PDF file that displays in the body in your email. Do you get the behavior described in the manual above?

How do I get I tunes to recognise my i pod shuffle 4th generation,as I keep getting fault message (2005)

Hello there, CliveFromBR.
The following Knowledge Base article covers the issue you're having with error 2005:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error2001
Specifically the following:
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do I get my iPad to recognise printer hp 1217nfw, I have a d-link router?

How do I get my iPad to recognise my printer hp 1217nfw, connected with a d-link router?

Don't know if you ever got this figured out but here is the answer...
I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!

How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!@

I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people. It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it. So make sure that all your software updates are up to date. Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it. You might want to check on the HP site also.
It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

Depends what OS X and Browser you are using?
If you are on Snow Leopard (10.6) and Safari (5.1.7) then open Safari Preferences, select the General tab and make sure that:
1. Safari opens with: A new window
2 New windows open with: Homepage
3. Homepage: is set to the desired https: site

How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC?

This question must have been asked here before but I wasn't able to find the answer. Sorry if this is a repeat question...
How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC? It's harder to find the answer this than I expected it to be.
Thanks.
Windows 7, i7, Nvidia Quadro 4000

Thanks, Curt. I wondered if that was it.
In other CC applications I can detatch the tab and drag it over. I guess it's not that bad to do the stretch, though.
Thanks again.

I have an old Airport Express. How do I get Airport Utility to recognise it?

I have an OLd style Airport Express that I was using with my 2007 iMac and Tiger. Recent upgrade to Mountain Lion.
How do I get the Airport Utility to recognise it so I can set extra stuff?
AndrewH66

Here are the AirPort Utility downloads:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
Bottom line: I don't believe it's possible to use your old AirPort Express with Mountain Lion. The current AirPort Utility is 6.3.1.
I'm assuming you have this one (from around 2004):

If instead you have this one (from arount 2008):

... then AirPort Utility may well support your device.

How do you get Windows 7 to recognise AE Hard drive?

I have an AirPort Extreme with an external hard drive in HFS+ format. I can access it fine on My MacBook Pro, but Windows doesn't recognise it.
I don't know how to use Windows 7, can anyone tell me how to get the hard drive recognised on it?
Thank you =)

yes, worked fine under WinXP.
now i am able to access the TC using the AirPort Utility app, that's some progress.
but still unable to map to it with File Explorer (had it mapped as Z when running WinXP)
this is my first time with Win7 ... here's what i'm doing to map
open file explorer
select map network drive
drive = "z"
folder = "\\<NAME OF TC>
select 'connect using different credentials'
select Use Another Account
it then prompts for User Name and Password
... i input the TC name for User Name and the password ... error message that windows cannot access the device
i had not problems setting it up in winxp, but that was a long time ago and it was all saved in local memory, i'm sure i'm missing something obvious, but can't see where i'm going wrong
thanks!

Hey M_Hoag,
It would be best to report an issue with your purchase. The following resource outlines how to do so:

How do I get stickies widget to recognise playlist file?

I am trying to move my dashboard stickies from my old macbook pro on 10.6 to a new imac with 10.7.
I have transferred a file from OSX 10.6 called "widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist" into the preferences folder of my user's library
I confirmed that I want the new file to replace the pre-existing one
When I open the dashboard, the stickies do not appear.
What could i be doing wrong? What do I need to do?
Many thanks in advance to all you clever folks out there.
Alan

I have also tried as follows:
disabling dashboard with the following commands:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock
Then deleting the following files:
widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist.lockfile (This file supposedly stops multiple programmes accessing new plist files at the same time to prevent ?file corruption?)
widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist
Then restarting the computer.
Then reversing the commands with:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
killall Dock
Then restarting again
Then once logged in, opening dashboard.
It still contains only the previous sticky, even though the plist file contains all the data that I added (It hasnt been overwritten)
Somebody must have the know-how to get dashboard to recognise the plist file? Your hekp would be much appreciated as I really dont want to have to re-write these stickies!
