Installed MacMini server and can't see hard drive on wireless printer

Hi, all, I installed a MacMini 10.6 server on Tuesday and am having an issue communicating with my printer. We have a wireless office and have a Toshiba printer and scanner connected to a wireless bridge which is then connected to our Airport Extreme. The set up has been very efficient for our small group.
Before the server was installed and connected via CAT5 cable to the Airport we were able to scan using our printer and see the stored files on the printers built in hard drive. But since the server was installed, we can print, but we can't see the hard drive on the printer.
What do I need to do in order to see that hard drive again?
Thanks
Ron

If you want to try to replace it yourself, [iFixit has good repair guides|http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/MacBook-Air-Hard-Drive-Replacement/86 0/1].
As I take the parts out, I tape them to a piece of paper with clear packaging tape and write the step number (and screw color from guide) next to them. Making sure you've got the correct tiny screw in the right place is a bugger without doing that.

Server Admin can't see hard drive with user's Sites folder

I have a G5 XServer with two hard drives running 10.4.10 co-located at an ISP. I had recently brought it home and did a clean install of the OS and put new accounts (mainly to host multiple web sites) on it that were different than before, and this time I installed the operating system on the second hard drive leaving the original in place.
Everything works fine EXCEPT that when using +Server Admin+ to set the Web Sites to point to the various home directories (click web, click settings, click Site, Click 'plus' to add a new site or 'pencil' to edit one, then click '...' to select the folder), +Server Admin+ *cannot see the new home directories* on the hard disk I am currently using. It can only see the old directories on the old hard drive.
(Note: I observed the same issue when trying to set the FTP root directory.)
How can I get +Server Admin+ to look at files on the other hard drive (the one I am booting from)?

Just type in the path to the directory you want to use. You don't have to select it via the File dialog.

That didn't work either.
It turns out that both hard disks were named the same (I don't know how I screwed that up), so I went in with Disk Utility and changed one of the names.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway. One cannot have too much storage.
Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary. It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap. The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
Ciao.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Time Machine over network: can't see hard drive

I've connected an external firewire 800 drive to our server and then chosen it in Server Preference as a drive that users can backup to, however when I try to select it in the user's Time Machine prefs I can't see the drive. Any ideas?

Is no one else having this problem?

New D20, Windows 7/Vista can't see hard drives - also 2nd CPU questions

I just got a new D20 and aded a few 1TB Samsung hard drives to the WD one that came with it. I can see the drives fine in both the Marvell BIOS RAID setup utility (even ran a Verify Disk on them with no errors) and from the ThinkStation BIOS and even from a Linux-based utility that I used to partition and format them with. But neither Windows 7 RC nor Vista x64 Ultimate can see any of the drives and when I try to load drivers fro the driver CD that came with it, they aren't recognized or loaded. Probably there is a simply BIOS setting I've screwed up but it has me stumped. Any clues?
Also the machine came with one dual-core E5502 CPU. If I want to add a 2nd CPU does it also have to be the same as the 1st or can I add a quad-core E5504 or even a higher speed quad-core as long as it is a LGA1366? Does it have to be a Xeon or would an i7 work?
Many thanks in advance!
ThinkStations: D10, D20, and S20
ThinkCentres: S50, M51, A61e
ThinkPads: W520, X60T and X61T SXGA+ tablets

welcome to the forum!
sounds like that D20 arrived in one piece.
the latest marvell driver for vista 64 can be found here. i suggest trying that first to make sure this isn't a driver issue. also check that you have the intel chipset and matrix storage drivers installed. they can be found here.
check the BIOS and see if the AHCI mode is set to SATA RAID. i can't remember the exact path to this setting right now but can reboot and write it down if you get lost.
on the processor, the second one does have to match the first unless you replace the first completely and install two new chips. an i7 might work as a single processor in socket 0 (this is untested so i cannot confirm). however, you'll need two xeons if you want to run two physical processors.
i suggest reading the following links for reference:

Can't see hard drive on Reinstall

Was having some issues with my MBAir. Was all bogged down, taking 20 minutes to boot up and giving them the dreaded pinwheel. So I ran a reinstall of Snow Leopard opening that might clean it up. Took 5.5 hrs to do the initial writing and then when it rebooted and asked for me to select the disk location for the install there were none shown. Suggestions? I've tried restarting the OS Install disc and I still can't see my hard drive for the install. I opened Disk Utility and the only thing showing is my USB DVD drive with the install disk in it... kind of stuck.

Can not see hard drive on desktop after reinstalling Mountain Lion

I have erased my hard drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and now I can not see the MacIntosh HD on the desk top. Downloaded the most recent updates and restarted but still do not see the hard drive on the desk top. Any ideas?

Open Finder preferences and on the general tab check Hard disks for Show these items on the desktop.

Can't See Hard Drive

I am freelancing at a company that is using 10.3 and the computer is set-up in such a way that the hard drive does not appear on the desktop. How is that possible? Is there a way to make one's hard drive invisible? I can only see it and access the folders within and thru the sidebar of the window. I don't like this. Is there a way to make the hard drive appear on the desktop? Thanks.

"How is that possible?"
"Finder" menu --> Preferences --> Show these items on the Desktop --> Hard Disks

I reinstalled lion on my 27in iMac but can't see hard drive.

I reinstalled Lion on my 27in imac, all seems well except I can't see my hard drive. How can I make it visible on the desktop. Thank you to Kappy fo help on the reinstall.

Installing OS 9 and jaguar on Seagate hard drive I've just installed

I have just installed a seagate 120Gb ATA hard drive. I've configured it as 'slave' and initialised it. I want to install OS 9 on it and then jaguar. I have tiger on my master drive. Everytime I try to restart my computer on the slave using the OS 9.04 software install disc that originally came with my computer it refuses to load. I aim to install the OS 9.04 and use the updater I have on disc to update it to 9.1 and then install jaguar.
I recently updated the firmware when I installed a processer upgrade. Is this preventing the disc from installing 9.04? Or is there something else I should be doing?

Hi Alison,
Coming back to you about your queries:
So if I install OS 9.1 on the same drive as OS 10.2 I
don't need to partition?
No, you don't need to partition.
Or do I? If so, how big should I make each
partition?
If you still want to partition, then the relative sizes of the partitions depend on the total drive space available plus what you actually want to put on them. If you don't have to partition, I wouldn't, as it tends to lock away drive space (you can't save files across the drive volumes).
I have tiger on the other drive so that's not a
problem.
Yes, and you can still set up Clasic to boot up off the OS 9 that you will have installed in your other drive.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Karl

Can't see hard drive icon on desktop

Just got my daughter a new MA 13" 2011...installing some software via the external superdrive when I realized that I can't see the HD icon on the desktop...am I missing something to make it visible? Other than that if functions properly...I can "see" it when installing software as it lets me choose it as an install destination....
Thanks,
Daryl

Activate the Finder, select Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General icon in the toolbar, check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. You can do the same thing for the sidebar by clicking on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar.

Can't see hard drive after reinstall of OS 10.1.3

I wanted a clean reinstall of OS 10.1.3 so I slipped in the disk and initiated an install on my hard drive. Something went wrong in the process and now when I try to reinstall by booting from the CD drive with the install disk in, the hard drive does not show in the list of volumes to install to. I used my "hardware test" disk and all hardware tests fine.
How do I fix this?

The hard drive was probably being reformatted, when the process was interrupted. If the hard drive isn't Mac-formatted, it won't appear as an eligible destination volume on which to install OS X. When you boot from the OS X installer CD, go up to the "Installer" drop-down menu and select "Open Disk Utility." The hard drive should be listed in the column to the left, so you need to click on it to select it. Click on the "Erase" tab and choose "Volume format: Mac OS Extended," then click on the Erase button. After the drive has been reformatted, it will be a valid destination disk.
