I am a new mac owner and I am having trouble finding drives...
When I log on to the imac, my partitioned drive is not visible as an icon on the desktop or in the finder. Also, I have a Seagate external hard drive that I have connected to the imac that I can't find either. It has recognized this drive before and nothing has changed on it. And I have seen the partitioned drive before as well, but it isn't showing it now. Any ideas?
thanks,
C
ho do i run disk utilities? where are the preferences in the finder? i couldn't find it, which leads me to believe that something else is wrong because like i said it read them before and it is currently reading a Lacie drive that i have hooked up to time machine and i havent changed any settings. (i am the only one using this mac)
ok a bit more info, disk utilities does see the partitioned drive and the Seagate, but the partitioned drive (windows) is faded and it wont let me repair the drive. what does the faded mean?
thanks

I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). However, it looks like the cost is actually $150. Is there a better deal?
Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010 i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks. -

I purchased a MacBook Pro 13":
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
I have AT&T DSL with the 2wire wireless connected directly to the dsl line. There is no base computer. I owned a netbook prior to this and had several people use there pc laptops wirelessly before. Now I can't seem to get my Mac to stay connected wirelessly. My iPhone 4, touch and satalite still maintain perfect wireless connection as they did before. I called apple , they said it was my internet, I called AT&T they said it was the Mac. I have a similar post on AT&T, hopefully someone can help! This is NOT how I wanted my first Mac experience to go!!! It is vital I stay connected because I remote in to work constantly and can not be interrupted. Someone PLEASE help!!Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Please answer ASAP!!
Hi eisense,
I also have a similar problem but not quite the same. First of all, let me give you the setup of the configuration:
-- Desktop PC OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
-- iTunes version: 11.3.1.2 (latest) for 64-bit
-- iPad Air with 3G/4G SIM slot
-- iOS version: 7.1.2 (11D257)
-- Several USB peripherals: Keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner.
What I want to do is to sync my iPad with iTunes (NOT to charge it via USB). However, I get a strange behaviour 99% of the time (I will talk about the 1% later). The behaviour is the following:
1. I connect the iPad to any USB port of my PC. My desktop PC is a new one, substantially "beefed up".
2. The iPad changes continuously from "Charging" to "Not charging" and vice versa all the time (the change of "charging states" happens roughly every 2 seconds).
3. While doing that, iTunes changes state from recognizing the iPad to "not identifying it properly". It suggests that I disconnect and reconnect it again. No matter how many times I do that, it never does any good.
4. Eventually I get an error (error code: 0xE8000084) but the change of "charging states" goes on and on.
5. During this time I was checking the Windows Device Manager. When the iPad was at the "charging" state the "Apple Mobile Device USB" appeared under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the Device Manager. When it was not charging, the "Apple Mobile Device USB" disappeared.
6. Even in the case the iPad was charging the "Portable Devices / Apple iPad" entry didn't appear in the Device Manager.
I have read all the posts about the particular error code and about the connectivity issues with iTunes. However, no matter what I have tried I haven't resolved my problem yet. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes according to Apple instructions. Rebooted my PC while removing all the other USB peripherals. I stopped and restarted the AMDS service. I hard rebooted the iPad. I switched USB cables. I even tried to sync my iPhone 5S in case it was an iPad problem. All has failed. Even the iPhone has the same behaviour.
NOW, about the 1% I was talking before.
If the iPad is completely charged to 100% (99% is not enough) the problem disappears. During the time that the battery is at 100% the iPad is not charging and at the same time all is fine with iTunes. The problem reappears when the battery goes to 99%.
I don't remember having this problem a few months back. Any ideas? -
New 27" imac and I'm having trouble with my firewire audio interface
I was using my IO 26 with my old macbook (OS10.4) for the past 3(?) years with no trouble, but now I can't get it to work with my new quadcore imac. I installed the new drivers (for OS 10.6), and I get the yellow/orange light that shows a firewire connection, but audio does not flow to/from the computer. I don't see any audio in the output meters even though I have selected the IO26 as the output device. If anyone knows anything that might solve this, please let me know.
Thanks.I guess that's possible. Could you recommend a quality 400to800 adapter?
This cable is what I'm using to connect the interface: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/564904-REG/CablesToGo50705_50705_IEEE_1394B_Cable_FireWire.html
That cable worked alright to connect my old computer in order to transfer files.
Also, I think I have an old FW400 external drive laying around somewhere. I could use that to as a test. -
HT4972 I installed a new display screen and now im having trouble restoring my ipad
I am having trouble restoring my IPad after changing the display. Is there a trick to it.
No one here would know.
Performing repairs on your iPad voids your warranty, so we would most likely seek a replacement through Apple.
You might want to seek advise from wherever you bought the screen. -

I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do? I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!
Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps. -

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?
Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I suspect the monitor has an ADC connector
