I can't find my passport
I can't find my passport or time machine when I connect.
Give us the full picture..
How do you connect?
DId it work before you upgraded to Mavericks? And has now failed.. due to the wonders of Mavericks networking?
What is your passport plugged into?
What is the main modem? Is it a router?
What role does the TC have?? It is a Time Capsule.. I am guessing.. Time Machine being the backup software.
Can you find it in finder, even if TM cannot locate the TC?

I'm trying to read a Passport external hard drive to no avail. I've read it before (18 mos ago) but can't seem to bring it up. It's connected via USB 2, it whirrs and shows a light when connected, then is dark/quiet. I can't find the icon anywhere in my MAC system. How do I read it?
Do you have another computer to test with? Windows or Mac... just interested if the drive is readable by any system.

Bought new HD and now iTunes can't find my music
I just bought a new FW HD, WD My Passport. I copied all of my music from my old USB 2.0 HD to the new one and now iTunes can't find all the songs. It'll play probably 40 or 50 songs but the rest of them show the "!" next to the song name. Right now the only thing I can do to show iTunes where the songs are without having to rebuild my playlists is to manually point it to each individual song but since but that would mean pointing it to over 14,000 songs......... I DID go in to the preferences and changed the folder location to the new HD and it still won't find the files. But strangely enough, when I have the old HD plugged in, as well as the new one, it'll play everything just fine, checking the preferences shows that iTunes is pointed to the new folder but "Get Info" on individual tracks shows iTunes finding the file in the old HD, unplug old HD and files cannot be found. Why doesn't the **** program look where I want it to and what do I have to do to fix it? I know my description here isn't crystal clear so I'll gladly answer any question to help clear it up a little. ANY help is very much appreciated as I do not want to spend the next 3 weeks teaching iTunes one song at a time. Thank you.
ChrisFor moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

Afew general questions to which I can't find the answers
Hi,
Yesterday, I upgraded from a Torch 9810 to a Passport! What a phone! I still have a lot to read, do and set, but there are a few 'small' things I'd like to ask if I may
1. As I have a visual impairment, on my Torch I used an app called 'Font Control - Fancy Font Master'. This meant I could choose the font style and size to use for my apps, which was a fantastic help. However, this does not seem to be supported in Blackberry 10 and, despite my searching, I can't find another app that's similar (either in Blackberry World or the Amazon App Store). Any advice on this would be very welcome.
2. I did try the magnifier function, but it only seems to let you scroll up and down and not side to side, so you can't read a whole line - maybe I have done something wrong with this, but I can't see what.
I am loving my new phone though - well done Blackberry!
Any advice would be great.
Many thanks,

VISA Assistant can not find the instrument.
I tried to control Agilent 34970A through RS232,
but the VISA Assistant can not find the instrument,
and there is no respond when I send a command to
the instrument. I am sure that the instrument is
good, and is set to RS232 interface, the cable is
right(verified), and the parameter such as baud
rate is the same as the computer.
(I am using LabVIEW 6.1)
Can anyone give me an explain about my problem?
Thank you very much!> "VISA Assistant" is the name of a utility that ships with Agilent VISA. I am not sure if it can work with NI-VISA.
Agilent VISA does work with NI-VISA -- provided everything is installed correctly. A user may wish to use both Agilent VISA and NI-VISA together if they have a mix of IO cards. If NI-VISA is present, then Agilent VISA should be installed in the side-by-side mode, and NI-MAX should set the Passport to On. Then LabVIEW will see all the Agilent cards, and Agilent VISA Assistant will see all the NI-Cards. (The last time I tried this though, NI-MAX didn't see the Agilent cards.)
What was not mentioned in the original question is what VISA configuration is being used. If more specifics are provided a more specific answer can be given.

Time Machine: Macbook can't find external network hdd
Hi,
I'm want to backup BOTH my Macbook Pro (Retina) and my Mac Mini (Late 2012) to an external hard drive (Western Digital My Passport) USB-connected to the Mac Mini.
Alas, this doesn't work. I can't figure out why. The Mac mini finds the disk with no problems and can backup to it via Time Machine. But when I open Time Machine on the Macbook Pro, it can only backup to the Mac Mini. That's the only location it finds; it can't find the external disk.
I've enabled file sharing and shared the external disk, and set it to be available for guests to read/write. I've even bought OS X Server and used the same configuration there (although it seems to sync it from the Mountain Lion config anyway). Still nothing, the macbook can't find the external disk, only the Mac mini itself.
What could be the problem? All guides I find is about backing up to the Mac Mini over wifi. I don't want the backups on the Mini, but on the external disk connected to it.
Thanks!Nope, but I see the Mac Mini as a network volume. And from it I can access the external drive (and everything else on the Mini).
So I can only see the "first step" (the Mini) but not the second (the external drive). And from Time Machine I can't specify where to save my backups, OS X will create that automatically. -
Can't find my external USB hard drive
Just downloads OS X Yosemite, and now I can't get my usb external hard drive to show up when i plug it in, can't find it anywhere in finder. anyone know how to fix it?
Right, managed to get my WD Ultra passport working (the external hard drive I'm using) basically if you have a external hard drive in which you need to enter a password, you will have to enter the password before you can access it, the is irrelevant to whether or not you set the settings to automatically unlock the drive when you plug it in which is what i did but i have to now enter my password in every time. also it may take a few tries to get into it, think the new software is a bit glitchy towards the different ports on the mac i.e. usb and stuff. If you don't need a password just keep plugging it again and again, thats what i did to get rid of a error message saying the drive was unreadable.will let you know if i know any other ways to make it work, i didn't try the test disk thing either thought id just try unplugging it again then if that didn't work i'd try it.
hope this helps.
good luck. -

Podcasts downloaded to "wrong" folder, then ITunes can't find it anymore
Hi
When I subscribe to a podcast or download the newest podcast, it will be saved not to the folder of itunesmusic/podcasts/name of podcast, but to /itunesmusic/downloads/podcasts/name of podcast, apparently as tmp-folder. Synchronising just then with my IPOD works, but when I exit ITunes and restart it, the podcast is not found anymore and I get the exclamation mark. When I search for it I can't find the podcast then anymore.
I have ITunes 7.0.2.16 and running Windows XP.
Any one has an idea how to solve this?
Also is there a way to downgrade ITunes to version 6 or so? Because there it worked without problems.
Appreciate any feedback.Too my a bit to work out *** was going on, but it was driving me insane with podcasts vanishing on me.
To clarify, this is a full description of the issue:
I have a problem with iTunes losing podcasts. They'd download, seem to play, but when I exited and reloaded iTunes a load of them would be lost and give me the exclamation icon. I've managed to work out why iTunes is losing my podcasts, but have no idea how to fix it.
I've got a folder specified which I want iTunes to use to store my stuff in (E:\Media\itunes).
When I subscribe to a new podcast it downloads to a file called E:\Media\itunes\Downloads\Podcasts\File on 4_ Phone tap evidence - 21 N.tmp\download.mp3 and creates a folder called E:\Media\itunes\Podcasts\File on
I think it's supposed to save it to the first location and then copy it across to the second folder when it's finished. Except it doesn't. iTunes can run the podcast now, but from the temp folder.
When you restart itunes, it nukes everything in the E:\Media\itunes\Downloads\Podcasts folder - I assume as it thinks I have no downloads outstanding and anything in here is just junk.
Apart from manually copying, renaming and point itunes to this file - how do I get around this problem. It's only started since I went to iTunes7 and a complete uninstall/registry/config cleanse followed by a reinstall doesn't fix the problem. -
I have a HP Envy 4507. My AiO Remote app can't find it. This is not a compatibility issue as I have been selling 4507's which I demonstrate by connecting to them. I originally was able to connect on the one at home but not lately. I keep on seeing the one from work. HP ePrint sees the home one fine. I have reinstalled AiO Remote and now it cannot see any printers, no matter how I try to connect. Tried ip address, direct (which was working before) and through wireless router which worked when I first set it up.
Hi,
Thinsg to quickly check would that there has been no recent wifi password changes - if there has been any, they password would need to be re-entered into both the mobile device and printer.
Another quick thing to try is restarting the mobile device - this sometimes helps re-establish the connection.

Macbook pro can´t find/connect to my hotspot
Dear experts!
I recently moved to a new place and got myself a T-Mobile HomeNet Router. Everything works fine (WiFi and Ethernet) with all devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac, Linux-machine...) EXCEPT my MacBook Pro (specs below in the product section) :-(
Ever since I moved the Macbook can´t find or connect to my home hotspot. Settings on the router are as follows:
- 802.1 b/g (it IS capable of b/g/n but I found a thread somewhere pointing out that this could be an issue)
- channel 13 (deactived auto-channel because my neighbours had overlapping channel settings...this was the only one that worked)
- rate auto
- frequency 2.4 GHz
- 30% signal strength (same reason as above)
- QoS activated
- SSID hidden (tried broadcasting it, made no difference)
- WPA2-PSK
- AES (TKIP and TKIP+AES available as well...but neither made any difference)
I can connect via ethernet, however that´s not the intended purpose of neither my notebook nor the router :-/ Someone suggested it might be an encryption issue but even without ANY encryption the hotspot won´t show up in the list. Password contains special characters but even my old iMac doesn´t seem to have problems with it. I tried connecting manually via "other network" without success. Also via Controlpanel -> Network -> Assist me ...
I´m sitting right next to my router so the signal strength can´t be the cause either (besides all other devices work just fine anywhere in my appartement). Restarted all devices, each one is up to date. Last thing I tried was making the changes in Firefox cause someone suggested it might be a bug in the router software, still no success.....I´m out of ideas.
Posted this in another Mac forum already but no one could help me :-( You guys are my last hope ... does anyone know this issue and how to solve it??
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
many thanks in advance

About 2 weeks ago I plugged my wife's iphone 4S to our pc to update it to IOS 7and backup her iphone info to icloud. When I was done my wife's iphone had my daughter's ipod info on it and I can't find my wife's info on icloud anywhere. My wife has about 6 years of business contacts on her iphone so she is rather upset. Is there a way to recover her contacts?
You don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck! -
We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues. We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
throw the following error:
'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. Microsoft Office will now exit.'
We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly. In Event Viewer, we see the following:
'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Event 7000'
This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates. It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
different workstations. Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing? Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?

When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message. It had worked fine for the prior year. I upgraded to Parallels 7. No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp. No luck. I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home. Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume. It's not in the Downloads file. Any clue?
My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating. The Genius Bar isn't much help. Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed? How to get Parallels working?The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
Good Luck
