Installing Maverick on a MacPro with OS 10.7.5 and using RAID 1 with 2 * 1TB disks. 50% used.
I have a MacPro with 2* 1TB disks running Mac OS 10.7.5 using a RAID card running RAID 1. 50% space used.
How can I install Maverick safely (i have a Time Machine Backup). The install will not use the RAID set as a boot volume.
Reading the RAID manual there is discribed a way to create a bootabkle partition and RAID 5. But it starts out as a newly purchased configuration.
I have a used configuration. I would like to reuse the data.
Is there an installation section for my type of configuration?
THKS for all help.
Regards
Reint
I have found the answer myself already.
1. Take a full backup on a medium which also will restore.
2. Start your system with original start-up DVD.
3. Start RAID pgm. Dissolve your current RAID set.
4. Create a new RAID set with a logical volume on it.
5. Restore from your backup your current system.
6. Install Maverick on this system.

Hi there! Yesterday, I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't recognize my external hard disk drive anymore (at least not on the desktop. In Germany they call it "it doens't mount it". I don't know if it's the same expression in english?)
I just used it a week ago, before I did the update and it worked perfectly fine.
Is there anyone out there who knows a solution for this problem? I've been googleing for hours now and can't find any answer.
Thank you!!!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?
Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both. -
I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

Hello,
Please advice, i have an Exchange 2010 server with 2 DAG servers - DAG1 and DAG2 - backup with 2 DPM servers, one for DAG1 and one for DAG2 is it possible ?Hi,
I confirmed with Exchange support team that DAGs could be backed up separately.
Meanwhile backup database is important if you need to recover both Exchange server settings and database. See:
Recover a database availability group member server

Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected] -
Can anyone help with this? I've searched the help databases and can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere.
Do you have the 5.3 GB Mac OS X Mavericks installer application? Please do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Now try installing Mavericks, but before you do I recommend you put a copy of the installer in your Downloads folder and make a backup of your current system. -
It is nice and convenient how Mac OS X Mail displays messages semi-automatically when you just select them. But wouldn't a bigger view of the mailbox be useful sometimes?
Yes, and it's easier to get than you maybe think.
Hide the Preview Pane and Delete Mail Without Opening It in Mac OS X Mail
To hide the message preview pane in Mac OS X Mail:
Double-click the bar that separates the message pane from the mailbox pane.
Now, to delete any email:
Highlight the message or messages you want to delete.Hold down the Command key while selecting with the mouse to highlight multiple emails and Shift to highlight a range.
Press Del.
To get the preview pane back, double-click the same bar again.

Everytime i tried to update my i tunes to 1.6.1 it wouldn't let me and came up with this error.
I'd hit OK then it would roll back and start again and end with this error
Anything i can do?These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070002, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?) -
When I checked out Verizon's data plans online, the only option I saw that did not involve automatic renewals was the option to pay $5 for a day of 300 MB. The other options (e.g., $20/month for 1GB) all appeared to involve automatic renewals every month unless I go in and cancel the plan. However, during a chat, a Verizon representative told me that auto renewal of the prepaid plans is an option that can be avoided, it just isn't listed in the online information. Has anyone found a way to only sign up for one month of data without having to cancel the next payment?
Also, when I looked online at a site that compared data plans, it stated that one needed to use the Verizon network every 4 months or else the sim card would be permanently deactivated. But in a couple of online discussions, the limit was listed as being 3 months. Verizon told me 6 months. Does anyone know which is currently correct?
Finally, I have heard that if the sim card does become deactivated, Verizon tends to insist on making one buy a new one with a regular data plan and not the prepaid options.Has anyone had any experience with this?GeekBoy.from.Illinois thank you for replying. I tried the Verizon support forum, but before I can ask a question there I need to register, and the first step in registering is entering my mobile phone number. Since I don't have a Verizon phone, I can't register and, therefore, can't ask any questions. I did look through previous questions and answers, but it only confirmed that Verizon employees do not give out consistently correct information. I guess I will try talking or chatting with two of three more of them and hope that whatever the majority answers are will be the correct ones.

Iphone 4, cant recieve media text with sound sound is seperate and wont play with pictures.
when recieving media messages the sound seperates into quicktime and wont play with photo.
I have been experiencing this problem for the last few days. I've tried going in to settings and changing things on the sound menu but to no avail. I can get no sound on my videos, Internet videos and I can't change the volume setting when the phone is on the home page.
I originally thought it might be a problem with the volume buttons on the side of the phone but they work for voice memo sounds. That audio seems to come from the ear piece so I wonder is there a problem with the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
Any ideas on what's wrong? Did I possibly change some settings without realising? Is there a menu to change volume settings for videos?
