    Hello EucaBlue!
    So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
    After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
    Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
    Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
    Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
    Happy tinkering!

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

  • Hi, just bought an Idjay system and I can't get it to work with any of the following: I tried iphone 4s but it has IOS7 so the phone is not recognising when I am plugging the system in I have tried ITouchs,phones

    I have bought a Idjay system and I have the App on the 4S phone however the phone is not aknowledging the system. After googling we found that their is an issue with IOS7 for this system. So we tried an Itouch, its on IOS6 but doesnt work. Then tried an Ipad but the first version. Thought we had success when the Ipad seen the system connect to it. However I then went to download the App onto the Ipad but it needs IOS6 onwards and as its the first model of the Ipad the latest version is 5.1.1 so I cant download the App...
    Any suggestions? do you know how to get the 4S phone to work with it as that would be the ideal scenario?
    Thanks in advance

    They said that there shouldn't be any reason for it not to work. I bought it off ebay and the previous owner used it on the same devices that I am

  • Have I formated my External Hard drive wrong? Can't get to my iPhoto library.

    Hello,
    I have recently rebooted my old iMac 2008, and am attempting to start using it again fro photo editing with iPhoto and Aperture. My photos are on an external Harddrive called MY BOOK. The problem is that neither iPhoto nor Aperture recognices the photo library on my EHD any longer. When I try to open iPhoto with the old library from the EHD, I can see the "package" there, but cannot highlight it.
    When I started using the EHD about a year ago, I was recommended to reformat it to Mac OS Extended, which I did. But now, when I look at the EHD in diskutility, I see the hard drive on 2 lines. The top line states:
    3 TB WD My book 1130... and format: Mac OS Extended
    The lower line says:
    MY BOOK and format: MS-DOS (FAT)
    And when I have a look under the info tab in Finder, it says MS-DOS (FAT32)
    I suspect I must have done it wrong when I did the original partitioning.... but I was able to use the library from the harddrive, so wasn't aware of the problem.
    How am I going about to correct my problem, so that I can read my picture-library again?
    I am using OS X 10.8.5
    I have posted this question in the iPhoto forum, but was told that this probably is an OS X problem... can you help?

    If you see a message about rebuilding your thumbnail cache
    Over time, iPhoto can become less efficient at accessing the photos in your library. Rebuilding the cache can help iPhoto display your photos faster, and can also resolve issues such as thumbnails that appear to be dimmed or missing.
    After upgrading iPhoto, you might see a message asking if you want to rebuild your thumbnail cache. You can choose whether to do it then or come back to it later.
    Important:  You should back up your iPhoto library before rebuilding your thumbnail cache.
    Hide
    To rebuild your thumbnail cache:
    If iPhoto is open, quit it.
    Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).The Rebuild Photo Library window opens.
    Select at least these two checkboxes:
    Rebuild the photos’ small thumbnails: This option rebuilds only the small versions of the thumbnails, such as those that appear in the photo browser when you are creating a book or slideshow.
    Rebuild all of the photos’ thumbnails: This option rebuilds all the thumbnails associated with a photo, including the small ones and the thumbnails that appear in a photo album or an Event.
    For information about the remaining checkboxes, visit the iPhoto Support websiteand search for “rebuilding the iPhoto library.”
    Click Rebuild.Rebuilding the thumbnail cache may take several minutes.

  • What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
    http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
    Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
    The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
    The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
    If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
    So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

  • I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk

    I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk. How can I proceed?

    I recently completed a clean install of Lion on an internal SSD. After wiping it clean, I used a thumb drive with SL on it to boot and then another thumb drive with Lion on it. It worked just fine. The only thing to be aware of is that if you use the thumb to install Lion from... it will not install a recovery partition and you'll have to use the thumb in the future.
    That's what I wanted anyway so it's working out just fine. Good luck.
    I should add... I used the SL thumb to actually boot from and used Disk Utlities to wipe the internal SSD. It does work and there are Apple posts that can guide you through the thumb drive process. I used copycat to create both the SL boot and Lion.

  • Hello. I have MacBook Pro. I have 30,000 photos on iPhoto which is not on the hard drive but on an external hard drive. I have purchased a 2nd external hard drive and I would like to make a copy of my iphoto library onto it. I cant get this to work.

    I have MacBook Pro. I have my iPhoto library on external hard drive only. It has 30,000 photos on it. I have bought a 2nd external hard drive and would like to copy my iPhoto library onto it as a back up. I tried plugging both in and dragging the iPhoto library into the 2nd external harddrive. It looked as though it was working as it said 20 hours, however I then got a message box saying FiNader could not complete the task due to incompatible files. How do I do this please.

    Yes, you should format the HD.
    A Mac can natively write to a NTSF drive and that is what most drives com formatted with.
    You should use the Mac journaled format.
    Once again you are posting incorrect information
    Until we know what format the drive is it is impossible to state that it must be formatted - that is just a guess
    And a Mac can not Natively write to an NTSF drive - it can natively read it but can not write to it with special software
    And since formatting a drive erases it it is critical to tell users not to format until they have a positively known good backup
    The TOU for these forum state that you should test your answers prior to posting them  --  you obviously are not doing that and you advice is endangering users photos - please only post tested answers

    i am having external hard drive and i can't create a new folder.The option crete new folder is foggy

    Macs can't write to, nor create folders on, NTFS formatted drives without the use of third-party software.
    If you want to maintain the NTFS formatting, try Paragon's NTFS for Mac -> http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/.
    Good luck,
