I just bought a mini raid (1T) and can't find where to format it for use on my desktop iMac. Can anyone help?

i just bought a Raid Mini (1T) and can't find how to format it for my iMac OS X 10.8.5. Can someone help!?

It shouldn't need formatting. That should have been done to make the RAID. If you need to erase the RAID:
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the RAID volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

    Take it to an Apple Genius Bar to be checked out. It will either be the battery or the Logic board (not sure the charging circuit is a separate part. If it is then it mya be just that part).
    If logic board just use it plugged in as for the cost of changing out the logic board you can buy a new system.

  • HT4437 just bought apple tv 3rd gen and can't get it to airplay my 4th gen Ipod and my Iphone

    hi all
    I just bought an apple tv and was all excited about getting it paired up with my Iphone and Ipod
    I brought up itunes on my toshiba satellite laptop running windows seven and I don't see any place to install the code that the remote app keeps telling me I have to install on my computer via itunes. can anyone help me get it up and running? maybe step by step since I probably am not very computer friendly. thanks everyone!

    you have to plug your device into your computer. it will pop up on the left side (if running an older itunes), new itunes im not sure where it shows up. click on it, put in the code, unattach device, voila!

  • I Just bought Final Cut Pro X and now I find out

    I just bought Final Cut Pro X, I have used Final cut Express 4 with no problem using a firewire supported camera, Now I find out there is no video camers I can buy for Final cut Pro X for under $500, all the video cameras are now USB and for PC Microsoft based computers, What the He..? Does anybody know of a video camera (AVCHD) HD for around $300 to $400 I can buy, I really do not want to buy off ebay ...I'm not sure what Apple's policy is on returning software That has been downloaded but If I can't find a video camera for this software...I want my mony back. Help??
    Oh buy the way I'm just doing short 3 min SHORT clips for web etc, I have a Mac Mini Ver. OS 10 10.7.3, CS5.5

    I don't understand what you are saying. It doesn't make sense and is not true.
    Cameras using FireWire are now a thing of the past. These were the traditional Mini-DV tape types that we have known for the last 15 years.
    Almost every camera made nowadays is AVCHD which is ideal for FCP X and their prices start at about £180.
    They use USB instead of FireWire but that is no problem whatsoever.
    They work perfectly and are much better in many ways than the old mini-DV tape cameras.
    I am a complete dinosaur, always harking to the past, but even I have embraced them as a fantastic step forward.
    And they are very cheap!
    I could go on and on.
    So what is the problem?
    You can buy a brand new AVCHD camera for £180 which will work perfectly with FCP X or you can use your old mini-DV tape camera.
    It's a win-win situation however you look at it.
    P.S. You can ignore the list of recommended cameras. It is completely meaningless as new cameras are being produced all the time and there is no way Apple could get hold of them and test them even if it wanted.
    Take my word, almost every camera made will work perfectly with FCP X.
    I would say that every camera will work but there may be some weird type to prove me wrong.

  • Just bought my first i Pad and can't connect to wi fi in the house even when the password is correct. Now what??

    Just bought my first iPad and can't seem to connect even in the house. Have verified the netgear password but it won't let me connect..any ideas?

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • Ive just bought an ipod 5th gen and it has find my ipod on it how can i get past it

    hi all ive just bought an ipod 5th generation off ebay and it has find my ipod on it is there anyway off me getting around it as the seller isnt replying

    No; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure, and Apple won't help anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive) bypass it.
    Ask eBay for a refund.

  • I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

    Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
    If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

    I bought bought a movie in itunes and want to copy it to a DVD to play on a DVD player. Can I or must it be an APPLE product? If so, am disappointed since I can buy music and I own it and I paid full price to own it.

  • HT2305 Hi!  I am trying to update my ipad 4 but it says I need an updated itunes and I just keep going around in circles.  Can anyone help?

    I am trying to update my first generation ipad and I keep going in circles.  Can anyone offer a suggestion?

    First gen iPad or 4th gen iPad?
    first gen iPads max out at iOS 5.1.1
    If your 4th gen says you need an updated iTunes then it's talking about the iTunes on your comptuer. For iOS7 you need at least iTunes 11

  • My iPhone will no longer show up in my iTunes. I have tried to look at resolutions but for all of them the "Device" bar must be there and i cannot even get that to pop up. I just want to sync my phone. Can anyone help? :(

    Please help. I dont know what to fo i keep getting a USB Device Not Recoganized pop up. This has never happened before and I have no clue what to do. I also cannot manually sync my phone through settings because it says that my computer is not available.

    I'd try removing and then re-installing iTunes.  An uninstall will not remove your music etc.  That should re-install the usb drivers etc. I don't think you can separately delete and install the drivers.

    This is a well-known issue with Symbian devices.  If you have a phone number allocated to more than one contact or a duplicate entry on the phone or SIM card, the phone will display only the number of the person calling you as it won't know who is actually phoning as the number is shared by more than one contact.  Easily fixed by removing duplicate names and/or numbers.
