How many drives can be mounted?

When I plugged in a thumb drive (32GB) it kicked off my 1.5 TB time machine drive. Both were on a external USB powered Hub. Is there a limit on how many drives can be mounted?

There's a theoretical limit of 127 items on one USB bus so you were quite far from the limit (though I know of no one who has come close to that limit!). Is your TM drive self powered or bus powered? If bus powered I'd suspect that maybe the hub isn't supplying enough power or maybe has become unplugged from its power supply.
BTW have you tried again? Is this a repeatable event?

How many drives can i add in K430? Issue with LG bluray writer

I have a K430 with SSD disk +SATA DISK+dvd-ROM.
I've changed the dvd-rom drive with an LG bluray writer and added a third harddisk.
Windows 8.1 sees the new hard disk but can't see the LG drive, it still claims is a the old dvd-rom drive. The drive itself has a blue led lightning as if it's operating but nothing happens and tray won't come out.
Suggestions?

I've disconnected the new hard-drive and the LG bluray writer works even if there's a issue of the tray not opening with the front K430 panel installed (i'm looking into it).
SO i assume that i've reached the maximum number of sata devices and can't add a third hard drive, correct?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

About how many CDs can I put on my hard drive before it effects the performance of me iMac/

About how many CDs can I put on my hard drive before they effect the performance of my imac?

Well, it depends on how much content is on the CD. You should have, at a minimum 10 - 15 GB of empty hard drive space at all times - more is much better. I do a fair amount of video/graphics editing and in order to render and burn properly, I need at least as much empty hard drive space as I have files in my current project, which usually means at least 150 GB or more. So, to be safe, my goal is to have a minimum of 250 GB empty space at all times - the OS will thank you if it has more room to work with.
So, add up what you want to put there and keep watching your hard drive space diiminish - it's best to have space hogging files on an external hard drive to keep your internal working well.

How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

How many items can I install my itunes account on?

Hey TechyGirl42,
Thanks for the question.
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID.

How many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purchased it?

Last September I purched my update to Quick Time Pro. Now I bought a new Computer and re-formatted the old one, not being able to copy Quick Time Pro from the old to the new computer. Therefore I wanted to download again Quick Time Pro: In the settings window I introduced my program key and then "accepted". It said "Quick Time pro" below the registration line; however, the "apply" buttom was not operative. I checked and my Quick Time version was still "Quick Time 7", not Pro. My question is: how many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purched it? If I can download it more often than once, how do I proceed? Thank you for your help.

I started this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454706&tstart=0
but I'm afraid it's so involved that thus far, nobody has "touched" it.
However, PART of my problem is similar to THIS person's.
My problem is that I have QT on two different drives in one computer; the one I paid for [QT Pro?] and one I got for free; QT7. I fear the free QT7 might have "interfered" with my "Pro".
So, taking your advice above, looking in the "Help" "About" menu, I find that BOTH of mine another "offer" above the word "About"; they suggest that I "Purchase QT Pro"...... so now, if BOTH of my QT's say THAT, then may I conclude that I do NOT have the Pro version? I'm meaning to say that if I already HAVE the Pro, they wouldn't suggest that I go and "Buy QT Pro".... right? Is this a safe conclusion? for ya'll that HAVE the Pro, and KNOW it, does it suggest to you that you could go and "purchase QT Pro"?
Thanks,
LarryR : )

How many people can log into a G5 at the same time.

Thanks in Advance.
I am using a G5 as a server with external drives attached. I get a message from time to time that says "too many users are logged in at once", is there a limit to how many people can log into a G5 at once ?
All are on different users, and it's a total gigabit network.

Ten, unless you're using a version of Mac OS X Server which has no limit.

HT4059 When I try to load an ePub book it says out of memory. How many books can you read at one time?

When I try to load a second book it says out of memory. How many books can be read at one time?

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

How many photos can i download on a mac pro?

how many photos can i download on a mac pro?

That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field. It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc. We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
2 - how big are the photos?
3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
etc., etc, etc......

How many macs can backup to a 3tb time capsule?

If I get a 3tb time capsule is there any limit (apart from the drive size) on how many macs can backup to it. At the moment no more than about 20gb of data per mac. Also has the reliability of the time capsule improved with the new version - I would like it to last longer than 18 months.
Thanks
Ben

Let's assume that you backup each Mac separately on the first backup since that will copy the entire contents of the Mac's drive over to the Time Capsule disk. That might average 2-3 hours per Mac.
Once you have the "master" backup of each Mac completed, you can set each of them up for incremental Time Machine backups. On average, the hourly incremental backups only take a few minutes to complete. To be conservative, call it 5 minutes.
So if it takes each Mac about 5 minutes for an average incremental backup, the realistic limit of Macs backing up to a single Time Capsule would be in the 10-12 range. I've had 5 Macs backing up for 3 years with no issues whatsoever.
It would be a good idea to purchase AppleCare for one of your newer Macs if possible. That way, your Time Capsule is covered up to 3 years.
Keep in mind that we tend to only hear about issues on the forums. In that respect, this place is like a hospital...just about everyone here has a problem. No one ever seems to post to report that everything is OK.
You don't hear about the millions of devices that are working just fine, so it's tough to make a judgement on a product based on what you see and read here.

What computer for studio? How many drives?

I want to use Garageband to learn how to start recording a small concert band.
I am in the position to buy some gear to facilitate this ... I already have the presonus preamps ... all the mics I need and such.
I'm wondering which Mac to buy to set up the studio ... I already have two good lcd monitors ....
Could I go with a couple of mac minis and use one for archiving? Or do I need more oomph? I might go to Logic express eventually to record as I learn more. I heard you can import Garageband files right into it.
Is the mini fast enough now (drive speed)?
Or do I need a dual G5 to record on? What do I need for archiving? Do I really need two drives?
Sorry for the scattered questions .... any help in setting up a simple studio will be appreciated. Especially in the area of how many drives and what computer I need ... Thanks a bunch ...
Oh yeah ... if you have any links for me to look at that would help too ...

So what you're saying is .. it really doesn't matter
so much what kind of machine you have if you have
this fast external firewire drive?
Not entirely, it depends what you're going to do. CPU, RAM, and Hard drive speed are all important, but some uses tax different parts of the System more. Effects and MIDI instruments push the CPU more, Auido tends to push the speed of the hard drive more.
So you would record on it ... and also mix on it ...
and then would you have another firewire drive to
archive to?
That could work
Does this mean I could just use a mini as my base
machine and get a couple of firewire drives ?
Probably. It;s really hard to say with 100% certainty, it really depends on what you're going to do.
I will
also be using an audio interface like iControl
The iControl is not an audio interface. It is a control surface, it replaces your mouse to some degree, and it does offer a MIDI interface, but it will not help you get audio into your machine.
something ... where would that and the presonus
preamps go in the chain when recording and mixing?
The iControl would plug into a USB port and you'd control faders and such with it. I have no idea which PreSonus PreAmps you're using, but assuming they are just PreAmps you would plug the output into the computer's Line-In (note, make sure you get a Mac which has a Line-In (for instance the iBook doe not have a Line-In. I beleive the Mini does, the iMac does, the PowerBook does and the PowerMacs do. I'm not sure about the MacBook Pros, you'd have to check the specs at the Apple Store site.
Which brand of firewire drives do you recommend?
It really doesn't matter much. The truth is there are only a handful of companies that make hard drives (Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, Hitachi, and a couple of others). What you see for sale is one of those drives in a case made by different companies. IOW, there are lots of cases, but they all use one of a few HDs and I've had failures in all brands of HD, so I don't think any one is particularly better than the next (though you might look for one that offers a 5 year warranty).
Personally I like to build my own. I buy HDs when they're on sale (last one was 200Gig for $40) and then I buy a case to install it into. Installation is a breeze, it requires a screw driver. The case I like the best is the Macally PHR-100AF FireWire External Enclosure from Amazon for about $41
