  • How to remove a hard drive on a Digital HiNote Ultra CT475

  • How to remove a mapped drive

    Hi all,
    i created a mapping in my iMac pointing to a folder on my notebook with windows.
    When I start Parallels to run a Windows VM and my notebook is not connected to the lan, the system stays popping up a message saying "The connection fails, maybe the server Notebook doesn't exists or blablabla...".
    I would like to know how to remove this mapping because it doesn't appear on my Mac Desktop if my notebbok is connected to the lan, but when using Parallels, is almost impossible to work with the message popping up all the time.
    TIA,
    Alano.

    The drive doesn't appear on the list...
    That's the problem...I don't know where should I go to exclude this configuration...

  • How to remove a mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo

    How does one remove an mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo?
    One of the user automatically mounts a network drive on her new intel Macbook in her portable account. Trouble is that the network drive is only available on the intranet. So when she is on the road, it take the Macbook very long 3-4 minutes before it let's her log in.
    Simply I thought to remove the drive on her macbook through the system preferences -> account -> login items. However the "login Item" GUI is very slow to respond and if it respond it does not let me remove the network drive. I tried this both on the intranet and off the network.
    I tried to remove the mounted drive at start up through the workgroup manager, but it does not show up there.
    So I thought that I try to use netinfo on the local machine. But I can't find where mounting info is stored in a mobile account. I thought it would be in the local @ localhost or should I connect to an other DB?

    The login items are not stored in Netinfo, they are stored in loginwindow.plist in the users Library/Preferences. You can either remove the entries for the server or simply trash that file and let a default one get recreated.

  • How to remove stuck optical drive carrier

    I'm in the process of replacing a worn out Optical Drive in my 2007 Mac Pro Tower. When I got to the 'remove the optical drive carrier,' the stinker comes out about 3/4 inch and then no further. I don't want to force it of course. Anyone else ever have the same problem?

    I posted same question, got no answer so found a solution? for Mac Pro 3.1  early 2008 version.
    This only can be done if you have 2 super? drive bays with lower unoccupied.
    In my case it did not move at all in attempt to pull it out - in fact it is stuck on two screws that act as posts and are in slots in the bottom side of aluminum tray that it is supposed to slide out from. You don't see these until you get it out. 
    In your case with 3/4" opening, first try pulling one side then other, rocking, prying, a small crow bar. Try harder.
    no, not the jack hammer.
    Failing all else,
    1) lay the computer - open side panel down - on the floor. 
    2) slide the lower unoccupied DVD tray open with your finger and insert a blunt object (I used big old blunt screw driver) into the opening aimed down towards the floor. When you apply force to the inserted object, it is in the direction that enclosure must be pulled to get it out normally and on the side where it is stuck. You may have to strike the object, as I did, before enclosure will come free.

  • How to remove an external drive from time machine backup

    In time machine I also backup to an external drive. I recently bought a new external drive and thats working fine. However, it still wants to backup to my previous drive which I dont want to use. In time machine preferences I see the old and new drive listed. Both are greyed out so I cannot deselect the older drive.
    Suggestions?

    If you see them both listed on the initial screen of TM prefs, they are both selected as backup drives. They are not being backed up. They are being used by Time Machine as a destination. You need to use “Select Disk…” to remove the external drives from the destination drives. Select Disk does not choose the drives you want to back up. It chooses the drives you wan to back up to.

  • How to remove/install hard drive?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to remove a hard disk from the 15" 1.67ghz Powerbook? I can't find instructions anywhere. If anyone can point me to a service manual or something similar I would be most greatful.
    I know this voids warranty, it doesn't matter, as it's not relevant in this case.

  • How to remove a duplicate driver?

    i have a Leybold 23xxxx pressure meter. By accident there are two Leybold 23xxxx drivers in the system now and i get strange errors with my VIs.
    I have installed one driver via LV (this is a very old version)
    and there is another (newer)  Version i dont know where it came from and why NI did not install the latest version.
    How can i remove the unused drivers?
    There is a old unused 2009 LV version still installed, but i could not find a uninstaller. Will i have to remove it with some tricks, or can it stay?
    ================================

    Instrument drivers are in the "LabVIEW\instr.lib" folder. Each driver should be in its own folder. To delete it, just delete the folder. You may need to update the palette menu to reflect the removal of the directory.
    Also, what do you mean by NI installing the driver? Are you referring to using the Help -> Find Instrument Driver? If so, what did you enter in the search criteria? Leybold isn't even in the list of manufacturers.

  • Removing dvd from drive

    I was in the process of installing leopard on my mini when everything froze. I can not boot my computer, and I cannot boot from the dvd. I need to remove the dvd. I've tried restarting while holding down the mouse button. Doesn't work. Is there a manual release somewhere? Thanks.

    Hello
    I presume under the keyboard is a kind of switch that must be released and put out the ODD out of slot. A120 is new unit and I hope you know removing the keyboard you can cancel the warranty.
    Think about that!

  • Time Machine, how to remove dead external drive ?

    When an external drive started behaving irrationally, I transferred all video projects to a new drive. Now I noticed that this no longer existing old drive with all its 242GB contents still appears on my TM backups.
    Is there a way to remove it in order to free badly needed space on the TM?

    No, you need to use the Time Machine interface, not the Finder.
    See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • How to ID DVD Optical Drive

    I replaced the optical drive in my Sawtooth some time back and now, looking at the drive I cannot ID what exactly it is. There are no identifiers that Google will relate to an optical drive.
    I know I could reinstall it and let the system tell me, I'd rather not go there if any of you have a better (easier) way of determining this.
    I'm thinking it's RAM and not ROM but not sure. Mactracker doesn't help because it lists what the options were.
    Thank you.

    I am sorry for being vague. Of course system profiler is going to show me what is currently in the Sawtooth. Actually don't need Sys Profiler as I know it's a Pioneer DVR 115D. It replaced the one that came stock from Apple and I'm wanting to ID it (the original).
    Perhaps reinstalling it and letting Profiler tell me would have been easier.
    Thanks for replying.
    Edit:
    There's a barcode sticker. Above the 'barcode' is 678-0275 and below the 'barcode' is LTR1C 678T0212 N61328955L27A
    I wasn't able to get Google to provide anything relevant.
