Intel Xserve and SCSI Tape Autoloader - Not Being Seen
I have a brand new intel xserve with the added scsi card. I have a sun storedge L9 attached to the system and am unsure how to get the system to detect it. I am sure that the hardware and cables are all compatible. System profiler shows the scsi card and channels but doesnt show anything connected.
Is there a way to browse/search the scsi bus?
Yes, I am using that POS lsilogic. With the new card,
does the device show up in system profiler?
It does with the ATTO. It sometimes would with the 22320.
I am a little unsure where to look for my
autoloader... sys profiler, /dev/?, disk util?
System Profiler. There is no /dev/? for it.
Each backup program has to provide their own set of drivers
that access the SCSI card.
Tolis Group (makers of the BRU backup utility) sells a set
of tape tools that makes standard unix tools (tar, etc.) work
with autoloaders and tape drives. They also sell BRU, a
tape backup utility. Retrospect (EMC) also has drivers to
control autoloaders. Both BRU and Retrospect have trial
versions for download that you might try.

LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not Being Seen By Time Machine
Hello all,
I have a LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not being seen by Time Machine hooked up to my iMac via firewire 800. My iMac is running latest updates etc. Have raised a support ticket and was given the following instructions by LaCie:
Posted: 08 November 2007 @ 00:00
Thank you for contacting LaCie Technical Support. Make sure the drive is mounting and you can assess files on it on your 10.5 system. If you can then you will need to reformat the drive to make it compatible with time machine.
Warning! All data on the external drive will be destroyed in this process.
Step 1: Run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Step 2: Click on the LaCie hard drive's 'physical' entry, usually the third entry in the list
Step 3: Click on the Partition tab
Step 4: Change 'Current Scheme' to '1 Partition'
Step 5: Change the name of the drive back to what you would like it to be
Step 6: The format needs to be Mac OS Extended, with or without journaling
Step 7: Click on the Options... button
Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme on a PowerPC-based Mac.
Use "GUID" partition scheme on an Intel-based Mac.
Step 8: Click on OK
Step 9: Click on Apply
Step 10: click on Erase at the bottom of the screen, then confirm the erase.
The drive should start to be reformatted which should take only a few seconds and show up on the desktop with a new icon. Once it has you can then use it with time machine.
I have done all of the above and it is still not being seen. Anyone had a similar issue or got the above to actually work?
Thanks in advance!!!!Ryan,
Check drive volume name and also the Computer name. Apple released a tech note recommending that both be limited to only the characters A-Za-z0-9 (no dashes, hyphens, or other special characters.
If you can, send the Apple System Profiler report to me at the addres in my profile. Imay be able to see something there. I have helped another user with similar problems, but with a LaCie USB drive. He got things working by repeating the recommended steps, and double checking everything.
As others have rported, this should work, so there may be something else preventing proper operation.
If the drive is usable from Finder, but Time Machine cannot use it, there is something related in how Time Machine is viewing the drive.

I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad. thanks.
If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Storedge c2 tape autoloader not detected in veritas netbackup 6.5
Hi,
I am facing the below problem
storedge c2 tape autoloader not detected in veritas netbackup 6.5
#modinfo | grep sg
shows sgen driver
#mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status shows the HP LTO media when tape is loaded in the drive
# cfgadm -a
shows bot the drive and the changer
but when i try to detect the same in veritas netbackup, it says no removeable drives found
Any helps would be highly apreciated
thanks in advanceHello,
Netbackup cannot see the devices if sg driver is not loaded.
Once you installed the veritas netbackup, do the following steps to properly load the sg driver.
To Load the drivers.
1. cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver //You should change to this directory before doing the following steps
2. /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt 15 -ml 1
3. cp pr /kernel/drv/sg.conf /kernel/drv/sg.conf.bak
4. rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
5. /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install
6. modinfo | grep sg
7. /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan // To verify
Thanks,

I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed? Please help!
That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $10

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
ThanksHi, jodie_0182.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

If the above step does not resolve the issue, try all remaining steps in the article.

IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12
iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I have an unknown error (1621) and my iPod is not being recognised in iTunes or the Finder, even in Disc mode. Anyone know what's going on?
Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -

My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.
I have the same issue.
The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
I have tried several things so far:
1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
2. Reset SMC and PRAM
3. Installed latest battery update
4. Tried new battery
5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before. Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these? -

DVD 1270 not being seen in xp to install at start up windows 7
DVD 1270 not being seen at startup in xp to install windows 7. Boot order works - the machine sees a cd but not a dvd. Installed latest driver for lightscribe from this site. Also tried two other dvds - one a hp 1160 which works on another machine it sees the dvd on other machine running w7 but not on this new one - ASUS mthrbd P867-M Le. ASUS says it is the DVD and to try another. Seems like it may be a config issue. Any ideas? Thanks
Well, if the drive is good, then try a different SATA port. It might be that the OS is looking for the drive per the BIOS and it is not on the SATA 0 port. BTW: Does this motherboard have 6GB SATA ports? Do not use them for DVD drive.

I've used an external drive for time machine which has important files on it. After trying to back up my computer, it suddenly needed to be "repaired" by utilities. Now it's not being "seen" at all! How do I recover my important files off the drive?
If the external drive can be seen at all in Disk Utility, follow the instructions for repair here.
