Importing help - not seeing drives A: and B:

I'm trying to import photos after a hard drive change and the import dialogue doesn't see my A and B drives. It seems like the software only sees drives after C: Both A and B are physical internal drives.
How can I remedy this?

Historically, A: and B: were reserved for floppy drives, and LR evidently expects them to still be floppy drives, hence it doesn't look at them.
Personally, I'd assign those drives letters from higher up the alphabet.

Aperture import does not see files on hard drive

This happens again and again, and it's EXTREMELY irritating.
I am trying to import some existing JPEGs on my Desktop. When I try Import in Aperture, the file browser simply does not see most files and folders. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It seems to happen on a whim. This is very bad, I have just about had it with Aperture. And yes, permissions are set correctly.
Can anyone figure out on what basis Aperture sees or does not see certain files/folders?

I am trying to import some existing JPEGs on my Desktop.
Do you mean your Desktop folder? And is the Desktop folder the only folder that is showing this behaviour? I have never had problems to open images directly from the Desktop. Have the image files been dropped directly onto the the Desktop or into a subfolder of the Desktop?
Previous MacOS X versions had problems with a huge number of files on the Desktop because this folder has been treated in a special way.
Which version of Aperture and MacOS X are you using?
It might be a problem with permissions or file ownership.
If the problem with your Desktop folder persists you could try to reset the permissions,ownership, and access control lists on your Home folder as described in Linc Davis's post here: Re: iPhoto returns OSStatus error -54
Have you by any chance encrypted your Home folder by File Vault?

Import does not see photos

Very strange. Last night I imported as usual a folder full of raw files, and only 100 photos out of 147 imported. I then tried to imports the remaining ones, but import does not see them at all. Actually now import does not see any files, even from folders which I previously successfully imported. If I drag the photos from the folder into a project it imports the photos fine, but the names are not changed, which is a big problem. It does not work when I try to drag the full folder full of photos. How come I can't import any more? I restarted the computer but import still does not see any photos.

Oh my God, how stupid of me. You are absolutely right, I had the "Do not import duplicates" ticked. I must have clicked it by error.
Now I'm not sure why the first time only 100 photos were imported, but it's not important. I'll report next time if I have the same problem importing a large folder.
Thank you so much!

I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

I downloaded a toolbar expecting certain help, not seeing the help I wanted I uninstalled the prouduct, why would I still have the toolbar ready and waiting for me to use after i have uninstalled it

Dear Firefox
I have just sent mail to a friend and found that the HTML backgrooung file is inactive amongst mant others, am sure I used it just yesterday.
I tried to regain this file and I was directed to download the toolbar from BrotherSoft Extreme Community and did not see any direction to what I was loking for other than it piling my already weak XP PC with more toolbars, so I immeadiatly uninstalled it.
It's still here, so does this mean it has other guises for me to find.
Please help me with this.
Thank You

Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

Importing Mailboxes Upon Hard-Drive Wipe and OS Reinstall + .Mac Issues

Hi --
I was wondering if someone could help me out here. My dilemma is this: Long story short, I had to have my hard-drive wiped and have Tiger reinstalled yesterday at an Apple Store. Beforehand, I copied my entire Mail folder over to my external drive. Now, after the reinstall, I've reimported all of the mailboxes, and I'm not happy with the way things are looking. I should note that I used a mac.com POP account, in addition to another POP account, the setup of said account now apparently also having been wiped in the reinstall. Anyway, here's the breakdown:
(1) My entire Inbox is imported, but appearing inside of a grey "INBOX" folder inside of an "Import" folder, on the mailboxes strip. I've tried dragging the entirety of the Inbox contents up to the REAL Inbox (the very top icon) which is where I've always had my Inbox contents, and where I demand they stay!! However, doing the aforementioned copy/move, which seems like a reasonable enough action, leads to the following problem:
(2) It seems as though Apple Mail is now UPLOADING the entirety of my Inbox back to the POP web server, so that if I check my mac.com account via .Mac on the Web, all of these old messages from 2003 are showing up in the hundreds. (a) I do not want Mail uploading any old messages of mine ANYWHERE. Not even to my old account. (b) Because I've got about 40,000 messages in my Inbox, I do not want these going back up onto the server, taking up all of my space.
(3) I would also like the proper "Sent" (paper-airplane) box at the top to contain all of my old sent messages, and not some "Sent Messages" mailbox-folder of the sort in which it has currently dumped all of them during the import.
(4) Just as a lateral question to the above, I'd be very grateful for any tips on Preferences settings or the like that might get me out of the above POP quandaries. It seems as though there are options for "Do Not Store Sent Mail on the Server!" but no preference for "DO NOT REUPLOAD THE ENTIRETY OF MY INBOX TO MY POP ACCOUNT'S ONLINE STORAGE UPON A REIMPORT"!
Anyway, many thanks for any help anyone can provide on these matters!!!
best,
craig keller.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi David.
Thanks for the helpful information. I had an inkling that the .plist Mail file might have been the cause after all of this happened, but had no idea it was necessary before the fact -- which of course is partly-my-fault, partly-the-world's. (As I see it.) So, the .plist file is gone, but my messages still exist, inbox, outbox, and all of the mailboxes.
In the meantime, where I'm at is the following juncture: What can I do to make a boot-up of Mail CEASE uploading the OLD contents of my Inbox onto the online server (and my apologies for the confusion in the IMAP/POP nomenclature, it's all a blur to me), which occurs automatically upon opening Mail -- the program is hanging up, with the "pie-chart" icon appearing to the left of the Inbox, not downloading any mail and so on, as it (silently, secretly, invisibly) uploads my Inbox to my IMAP .Mac webmail Inbox. Of course, this would not be an issue, as I could ostensibly just go on the Web and delete all of this old excess mail, were it not for the fact that I have 250MB of storage free on said .Mac account, and approximately 1.06GB of Inbox mail associated with that account, accumulated over four years of daily use.
I should also note that even if it was a "bad idea" for me to move my messages back to the Inbox, and if it shouldn't be used for archiving purposes, that is -exactly- what I use it for, as it's simply the place where my mail comes in, and traditionally, the online web server deletes mail after X number of days sitting there; that done, it still, nevertheless, exists within my Inbox. Where my mail comes in, that's where I want it to stay. No moves, no folderizing beyond that. The Inbox is the Inbox, and that should be that. (Pull the messages from the server; keep copies on the server for 10 days or whatever, then delete; but let the messages exist, still, on my hard-drive, on my computer.) Sorry if I'm conceiving of this contrary to Apple's dicta, but it's operated exactly the way I've needed it to -- until now. So I'm a bit frustrated; also slightly miffed by the fact that I was told to post on this forum from Apple, rather than getting a human-to-human, real-time interaction on the matter, as that, apparently, costs $49.99 for a 30-day trial.
Anyway, any further help/insight you (or anyone else) might be able to provide on the matter would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!! As I'm sure it is with so many, my mailbox inbox is the core of my life, and I like it to be "just so" -- possibly a foolish idyll on my part, but there you have it.
thanks!
craig.

Help! hard drive failure and data recovery

I am a happy PC-traitor who has been using my Macbook successfully for over a year now. I love the Mac.
Until now.
Last night, while downloading torrents onto my computer, it froze. I restarted. A blinking folder with a question mark was displayed. I tried resetting the PRAM. Disk Utility does not see my hard drive, so I cannot attempt to repair it.
In short, I think it's dead.
Disk recovery is so incredibly expensive! Can I stick the hard drive into an external housing and access the data via Firewire? Can I freeze it overnight? I'm desperate! I can't afford a data recovery service. Help!

If she's dead, she's dead. Could be a loose cable. If you boot from a DVD and DU can;t see the HD, that's usually a really bad sign.
If you are comfortable removing it, you can try something like
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
which will allow you to mount just about any HD via USB.
You can try stuff like
http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/download-mac-data-recovery.php
http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
http://prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
And then there's DiskWarrior and TechTool.
Some of these may see HD's that won't mount and allow you to recover data.
Others may chime in with more detailed experiences.

Scanjet5370C Windows 7 Pro does not see Driver!

I am trying to add the Scanjet5370C scanner from my windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 professional. I downloaded the software from HP's site and restarted computer. It says device has no driver. I un installed driver tried to reinstall it still not seeing it. Does anyone have an idea whats wrong here?
Windows update does not even have the driver for this scanner.
Help!

This question was solved.

Hi Marcus25,
Sorry to inform you, the Scanjet 5370c is not supported on Windows 7:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03403550&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
The driver listed on the HP site is intended for another model (Scanjet 5590) and seems to be wrongly pposted for your scanner.
I have reported this issue in order to get it corrected..
Altthough it is not officially supported, you may try the 3rd party VueScan application which seems to support your scanner wthout the need to install any drivers on the computer:

The reason I have to use PulseAudio is stupid skype that crashes on start without it installed.
Help?

Yep, that's the one I have installed. However it looks like the problem fixed itself. The sound now works, HOWEVER, I have a 5.1 system and only center, rears, and the sub works. Left and Right (main) don't. pavucontrol is set to 5.1 output. When I turn down the individual volumes of main left and main right, the center speaker is the one that actually is turned down. It's as if PulseAudio thinks that center speaker somehow represents both main left and right.

Drive Bay "A" Not Seeing Drives

Power Mac G5 (June 2004) Dual 2.5GHz 10.4.11. I've had two internal 250 gig drives since purchase. I thought drive "A" had crashed, as did the Genius at Apple Store Bar. It appears it's not the drive but the bay. Could it be cables, or the board? I'm working from drive "B" exclusively. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I tried swapping drives. I wish I could swap cables but they are routed through the casing and it looks like a major disassembly of the case to make that happen. Sorry it took so long to respond. Thanks, Alan
