I cannot get my seagate HDD to work correctly with Time Capsule USB

I have been using my seagate expansion 2tb powered HDD happily with itunes connected directly to my imac. i would like to move it to my TC via usb. it is having none of it. it is formatted using mac os extended (journaled) and it will only show up in airport utility. not in finder or anywhere. i have reformatted it to no avail. i have change the preferences to show everything in finder( i think) finder only comes up with 'data' on the TC which is the TCs internal HD. please help

Your 1.8 TB Seagate is not formatted as it contains NO partition.
Compare to the entry above: Drive is "Time Capsule Disk" Partition is "TC Data"
In Disk Utility it should look similar to this:
where 1TB STxxxxx is the Disk (Media) and "time machine" is the name of the usable partition.
Plug the disk to your computer
Open Disk Utility
Choose the disk (click on it)
Click on the Partition section
Under "Current Scheme" select the wanted partition scheme
Under "Name" give a name.
(If you choose to create more than one partition on the disk , give every partition a name)
Under "Format" choose "Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Click "Apply"
When the run is finished, eject the disk from Finder and plug again to the Time Machine.
After that you will find the drive (partition) also on Finder / Shares

I cannot get my Palm Vx to work properly with Windows XP; especially the HotSync.

I have tried everything I can think of. I even went through the online chat assistance, and uninstalled Palm and then reinstalled a clean version. It worked a couple of times, but would not load any of my data, and now all my data is gone, my Palm still does not hotSync, and is essentially a very expensive paperweight. Why can't Microsoft and Palm get this right? I was so attached to my Palm for all these years that I bought them for family. Now, I have lost mine and all my data. Has anyone figured out how to get a Palm Vx to work with Windows XP and a new computer with USB ports?

When you say the data is gone, is it gone from Palm Desktop and the device?
Did you do a successful hotsync after the reinstall and before the data loss?
Click on the following link to the Palm website for the serial to USB kit.

I cannot get a pdf link to display correctly with version 4.0.1. How can I go bak to previous version? This appears to be a browser problem that does not occur for IE9.

When I click on a link to a pdf file (in an email message) using Windows Live Mail, Firefox 4.0.1 opens it as a shortcut and treats it as a pdf app. I can read the pdf file, but cannot save or print it. This is not the case if I use IE9. There never was a problem using the previous version of Firefox. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following. 
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

Can I use Time Machine with File Vault?

Apple TV not working well with time capsule

So, I have an apple time capsule which serves two functions: wifi base station and the repository for my massive iTunes library. I connect this via wifi to my Apple TV (not sure which generation it is). The media seems to play well when I play it on my computer, but the Apple TV has a very hard time playing it, sometimes not even showing pieces of media I know are there. Also, doing airplay from my computer or iPad to the Apple TV is very inconsistent. Also experience the same playing issue with netflix. I have recently resorted to watching most things on my iPad and experience no problems.
Suggestions? One thing that comes to my mind is to do a factory settings reset on the Apple TV. Would that do anything?

Hi zachfromind,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are having issues with content on your Apple TV. It sounds like you have everything set up correctly and you are very aware of how the content should be displayed and played. At this point yes, I would suggest restoring the Apple TV back to factory settings and then joining it back to your network and testing. It sounds like you are familiar with the process but you can use the following article for reference if needed.

I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with VPN provider.

I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with my VPN service provider. Using OS 4.3.3. iPad purchased in the USA. Have heard there are issues with iPad 2 and VPN support. Any suggestions?

You can try this ... hold down on the sleep button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen, release the buttons and see if the iPad restarts and you can use it.

I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

Let's start with the general things.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

HT2494 I cannot get my logitec speakers to work on my iMac

I cannot get my Logitec speakers to work. They do not show up in the output section
Thanks

Hi. If the speakers are using a standard 3.5mm plug, they need to be plugged into the headphone jack. Please clarify which jack you are using.

I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

Hi Pat,
I usually don’t have trouble explaining my problems, but this one is confusing the heck out of me. I just downloaded Reader 11. It is installed, I believe. This is the first time Reader has not worked for me after upgrading to a newer version. I’ve been reading PDF files forever, but tonight when I went to read a pdf file that I received today, I clicked on the file, expecting Reader to open up and it never did. Then I tried to read some older pdf files and nothing happened when I tried to open the file. I’ve been using Acrobat Reader for years so that’s why I’m so confused.
I downloaded the file from the adobe.com website. and everything seemed to be fine. My question is indeed vague, but I don’t know any other way to explain what happened. Should I uninstall and start over??
Thanks, Elaine
