Ideas for a Hard Disk App? 1 problem

Ok here is the deal i want to use my phone as a USB drive because i have some space left but all of the Applications out there use wireless this is not a problem at home to place the files on the phone but at school we are not given the wireless password that is just put in our computer and even if i get it, it has a proxy server and i dont know if these apps can get passed a proxy server. So what i am asking is does anyone know of a good app that can work through USB as a hard drive?

However, you can set up your own "ad-hoc" wireless network from your mac and use that to transfer files to/from your iphone. Honestly, it's probably easier to just buy a thumb drive.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

I have several Files created in Logic Audio for windows before v5.5.1 which can't open in Logic Pro X. Any ideas for a solution to this problem, The Windows files that were created in v5.5.1 open OK. I lost my XS key during a recent house move so can't update to windows files before trying to open in Logic Pro X

If you can open the windows files in windows you can bounce the tracks out as audio. Then load them in X

Can the Finger Print Reader be used for the Hard Disk Password at Power-On Boot Time on the W700?

I own a W700 and I have enabled the Hard Disk password at boot time (I have 2 HDDs, so there are two password prompts).
I always type in the passwords, but was wondering if the Finger Print Reader can be used instead?
The Finger Print Reader works fine from Windows 7 logon onwards, but it would also be nice to use it at system boot time, after powering on.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry I did not get back online quick enough...but the passwords are the same.
For some reason, after my first cold boot, I was still prompted for the hard disk passwords. I powered down again and when I powered back up, it signed me on all the way through. So it was just a hiccup.
All is good now and I'm very happy!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Window for my hard disk looks entirely different suddenly/icons gone!

When I usually open the icon on my desktop for my hard disk (the internal hard disk), on the left-hand side is usually the standard array of icons for pictures, movies, etc. etc. (and when I open other folder icons on my desktop, I still see those same items - nothing has changed there). But when I now open the icon of the internal hard disk, all of those usual items (and the whole look and feel of the window) has changed. The only icons on the left side are network, the hard disk icon itself, and the icon for my MobileMe "air" disk (I think it's called iDisk - whatever... you probably know what I'm talking about).
I can't figure out what happened?! I ran disk utility and it supposedly did repairs that were necessary on my system. I rebooted and restarted and even shut down entirely and then restarted again. I really miss that usual interface giving me all of those options so easily available. What's up here and how do I fix????!!

Select Preferences from the Finder's menu, click on the Sidebar tab. Be sure what you want displayed is checked.

Reformatting Hard Disk - any problems with CC?

I want to reformat my hard disk and start again - its got to that point where the PC seems to be running slowly and the OS needs re-installing. It's Windows 7 Pro 64-bit version.
Does anyone know if there are any issues with re-installing CC? I'm worried that doing this will use up one of my licenses and I won't be able to put a copy on my laptop in the future. (We're allowed two copies aren't we, one on the PC and one on a Laptop, for example?)
Thanks for any help.
Brian

Hi Brianpeart,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
The CC has been activated twice.
you can deactivate it in two ways.
1. Launch any of the CC application and go to Help>Sign Out(Adobe ID)
For CS6 apps Go to Help>Deactivate
2.Go to Preferences of Creative Cloud and in "General" tab click on "Account" and click the button "Sign Out from Creative Cloud".
Note:
It will deactivate all applications associated with your Adobe ID installed on the same machine.
or
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.

Here's a cure for 'clunking' Hard Disks on MacBook Pro's..

I've had this problem with a 'clunking' (i.e. marble dropping onto a granite floor sound) coming from the hard disk area of my year old MacBook pro Core2Duo with a 120Gb Fujistu Drive. On my MBP it happened every 20 secs or so and was really annoying, in a quiet room you could here it and I was worried about the reduced lifespan on the drive. Many users have complained about this, not just MBP users but also on the Mac Mini, which I understand uses Seagate drives
There's lot of discussion on this; replacing the drive (if under Apple Warranty that is), running a utility that keeps the heads unparked by constantly writing data to the drive, or some users are told just to live with it because its normal. WRONG, HERE'S THE ANSWER THAT WORKED FOR ME!
*I downloaded a copy of the brilliant (and free!) utility: Onyx (my version 1.8.3) from www.titanium.free.fr*
It's a general 'housekeeping' MAC OS X program and I got it to do a full Permission Check; Optimize the system; clear cache on Safari, spotlight, font and kernel. Basically I set it to clear/reset everything on the download cache and temporary settings and reset the Spotlight Index also.
Since I've done this I'VE HAD NO NOISE (CLUNKS) FROM THE DRIVE.
So I guess it must have been some indexing routine that was causing the drive to go mad
Hope it works for you:
*Nick B, UK*

okay, good point. I'm running Tiger still..
I seen that. I believe Cocktail and Tinker Tool have been updated and should work the same.

There are 2 ways of running a test on your hard drive . One way is through BIOS (F10) and other is through HP System diagnostics(F2). How exactly was test initiated from your end ?
The SMART imminent failure for Hard drive is an indication that your Hard drive is on verge of failure or might fail anytime depending on usage. I would recommend you to backup your files immediately because your hard drive might die at any moment and I'm pretty sure its needs to be replaced.
Kindly check the instructions over here in order to run the test for your hard drive

Ultra Sparc 10, WD 80GB Hard Disk format problem

How does one get over the - Contact manufacturer for formating error ?
I have an US10, and am trying to install a 2nd Western Digital 80GB hard disk.
The format command sees this disk as a 2nd disk but only of 11GB capacity.
It does not let me format this disk further.
Any help appreciated.
Arvind.

HI ARAVIND,
First of all I have not so far seen any limitation to disk size on ultra 10. Recently, i.e., 3 days back, I
installed an 80GB Seagate Baracuda HDD on Ultra 10, of course with some teeting problems. At first
I could get only 11.3 GB by default, or 64.5 GB by forcing the disk geometry. I really tried hard to make
this work beyond 64.5GB. As this was for a customer of ours, we had to make it work. I was frantically
searching the internet, and landed in some forum, where somebody replied to exactly similar query to
install Solaris 8 for HDD of capacitiies higher than 20GB. So Bang, I changed the OS to Solaris 8. But
Alas! I got only 74.5 GB capacity. Again went back to Seagate site and found that the figure of 156,301,488
MAX SECTORSwhen multiplied with 1024*1024*1024 you arrive at 74.5 GB, whereas if multiply this
number by 1000*1000*1000 you arrive at 80 Billion Bytes. However I am able to use this disk without any
problem now. So first install Solaris 8 and continue your R&&D. I wasted 4 days in getting this info.

Sharing disabled for external hard disks?

After installing Lion, I find that I could not enable sharing for my external hard disks. I right-clicked each hard disk in Finder, checked the Shared Folder box and after I close the window and reopen it, the Shared Folder box is again unchecked. In System Prefs, I have already enabled File Sharing. Also, I could not do Screen Sharing as well. What could be wrong? I didn't have all these problems with Snow Leopard. Now my media player (on the same network) cannot see the two hard disks attached to my iMac.

If the external hard disk is connected via network, I found that if you connect to that hard disk through its IP address in a web browser and change it's folder preferences to (everyone can read/write), that will allow Lion to access the files.
I had the same situation, and this worked. You can use a program called Magical Finder to locate the IP address.
http://www.iodata.jp/lib/product/m/3022_mac.htm
The site is in Japanese, but the software has English support. Really easy to use, but you could probably use any kind of network scanning software to find the ip address.

Ideas for masters project in algorithmic problems?

Hi,
I'm about to start my masters project in computer science. The topic is algorithmic problems. So I'm wondering if you have any ideas for a project?
I have some ideas, but I'd like to get more. One of the ideas is to "remake the most annoying app you are forced to use". I'm not really forced to use any annoying apps though, perhaps some of you guys are? It has to require some sort of clever algorithmic design.
Thanks!

Well I could tell you some complex ones I got in touch with on my college, but they're pretty scenario-specific, so I don't know how will you like them:
1) Make a fully-playable checkers game with advanced AI.
2) Find fastest route from any point A to any point B on a grayscale map, with white pixel being the lowest altitude, and black being the highest altitude.
3) Make a system for student group substitution. This must include: StudentA from GroupA wants to switch to GroupB, but there are no spaces available in GroupB. StudentB from GroupB wants to switch to GroupC, which is also full. StudentC from GroupC wants to go to GroupA, but only switch available to him is an offer to go to GroupB from StudentB which he can execute. When he does it, he could switch with a StudentA for GroupA. But, he won't do that because he's not sure StudentA wants a spot in GroupB. Design a system which would recognize this and list all the pathways so each student can get into group he wants by switching groups to that target group. Note: this is said to be extremely difficult to make btw
4) ...
I'll edit if I remember more.
These were from few ago and it's possible I missed something in presenting them to you, I wrote them in my own words.

Reinstall OS and Adobe CC for crashed hard disk

Hi, i'm armando from Italy (happy user of Creative Cloud), i must to reinstall my OS and Adobe CC because my hard-disk is broken, it is necessary to deactivate somethings like Creative suite 6 or not?? it is enough to log out from my adobe CC on my desktop??
thanks a lot for help

Hi Armax,
It is advisable to deactivate the Adobe CC products before uninstalling or re-installing windows and your correct Sign out will deactive the Adobe CC apps.
If you have Creative cloud 6 then also please deactivate those apps by clicking on Help>> Deactivate.

I have been trying to create a movie from a project that is primarily stills and one video clip. I cannot successfully create the movie without iMovie shutting down unexpectedly. Any ideas for the cause of the problem?

I am getting an unexpected shut down of iMovie when I try to share a movie from a project that is made up of still pictures, one video clip and music. Have tried to create the movie several times with different formats and continue to get the message. When I removed all music I was able to create the movie without a problem but when I added the music back, I was unable to create the movie. I'm using iMoive 11' version 9.0.9
Thanks.
Bill

I'm no expert in iMovie, but I've found that processing memory (as well as sheer hard disk space for the project to 'turn around in') can be a big issue with constructing, editing, and distilling projects in iMovie. I've improved the success by moving 2gb of image files off to an external drive, but only really got moving again on an hour-long project by doubling RAM and again freeing up h/d space.
Some tunes are also an issue, but if you can see it in the iTunes list to place in your project, it should work okay... Does the project run with any other piece of music, or does just that one tune mess it up?
Good luck,
Laura

Help NEEDED! External Hard Disk Drive Problem!

Dear Forum,
I am using MacBook with snow leopard and I am also using a WD Ext.HDD 500GB. Ok, I will described in detailed regarding what problem has occurred so that you guys can help me:D. Firstly, I formatted my wd hdd to hfs+j as the default format is NTFS. Then afterwards, I forgotten that hfs+j cannot support windows, thus I partition it to 2, with one hfs+j and one Fat32(formatted to ntfs when in windows), then I realised that my macbook don't have enough space, thus, I reformatted the whole hdd to one partition only, hfs+j. Now, the problem comes, when I formatted it to hfs+j, I found the free space not right, at default, the wd is 499.41GB(as seen on disk utility), but when I look at the hfs+j partition, the free space is only 499.06GB(as seen on disk utility with no files in it). Another thing, when I looked into the disk utility info of my hfs+j partition, there is 400+MB of hard disk space already taken. Then, I transferred one of my files(4.82GB) into my ext.hard disk, when the transfer is complete, I 'get info' my ext.hdd and found out that 5.26GB are taken up, but I have only transferred 4.82GB of files. So what is happening to my hard disk? Any ways to fix this problem guys?
I really need your help! I will appreciate greatly if you guys can help me, thanks!:D
Regards
Ala.

The odd 400MB is the hidden files put there by the system to define the file structure of the partition, plus other stuff like .Trash. It's perfectly normal and the HDD wouldn't be recognised if they weren't there.
You will see a similar situation with the internal boot drive if you compare the Drive size (leftmost item with the manufacturers designation) and that of Macintosh HD (which is the working partition). In my case this shows 640.14 GB for the drive, 639.79 GB for Macintosh HD, a difference of 350MB
This will be the same within about ± 50MB whatever drive you format in HFS+J, including pen drives.
