Is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on it's own when plugged in with firewire?

Hi, is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on the desktop? I have a new Hitachi SATA III 2 TB Ultrastar that won't show up like all the other drives when plugged in. So I can't partition, repair, format etc with Disk Utility, Disk Drill, Tech Tools etc. How do I make it visible?
I use the FW 400 to 800 adapter and a FW hub.
Thanks,
W.

ok, I did find the log in Diskutil of what happened, I just can't figure out why it happened and how to start over:

Mount an external drive that use to be the os x main drive

I had this problem for a while and when clean my room i found the drive again.here is the issue. I was upgrading my mac pro with a new 1Tb drive and replace the 250g drive that it came with.I first tried to use the migrate tool to transfer my things over but i noticed that it did do it all. I tried to mount the drive as an external so i can see what is on it so then i can finally reformat it. When i plugged it the drive didnt mount. I went to disk utities and it was in there so i hit open the hard drive but i only saw a few folders and when i tried to see folders like pictures it took me back to this harddrives picture folder.

Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

Is there a way to use an older downloadable driver that don't load on 6I?

I got an error loading a driver for a Transient Digitizer TRC 4020. Is it possible to convert it to 6I? I got this older Transient Digitizer for education of our students in our institut (for instr. Impact test). It came with an old XT and the software isn't running anymore. I'm using 6i and i've found this driver in the database but it will only run with an older verion of Labview

LabVIEW 6 can load and run code developed in LabVIEW 4.0 and later versions of the environment. The 4020 driver I found has a component developed in an earlier version of LabVIEW that is not compatible. If you can load it in an alternate version of LabVIEW (5.1 etc), you should be able to mass compile the vi's using this alternate environment and then load them from 6.

Is there a way to force my Mac to rescan for a harddrive?

The hard drive I use for Time Machine sometimes won't remount after plugging it back in to the Firewire port on my Macbook Pro. If I open disk utility it's not even acknowledged as being connected. The only way I've found to get it to remount is to pull the power cord on the hard drive and then plug the power back in (while the firewire is connected the entire time). The hard drive will mount then. The hard drive is a Seagate Freeagent Xtreme 1TB. The drive is seeing when it is connected to the computer because it will power up once it's connected. Is there a way to force the computer to rescan for connected drives? Is there a terminal command or something in Disk Utility that I'm missing?
Thanks

Serials are platform specific, so no, you cannot use it directly. A platform swap would be required.

Is there a way to force "desktop view" on my iPad 1 when using Safari?

Google, in their control frenzy, has now changed iGoogle to default to Tablet view on iPads. Why??? Here is one solution but it does not use Safari:
Question:
Is there a secret to getting the old igoogle homepage back, or is it gone for good on the iPad 2? I still have the homepage on my Mac, so the problem is just with the iPad. Any help anybody can give to get the home page back would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:This issue is with the Tablet view. You can switch to Classic view at the bottom, but as soon as you type anything in the url bar you get reverted to Tablet. I have the Atomic Browser installed on my iPad and have set it to identify itself as a desktop. iGoogle loads fine on that. I am not aware of any such setting for Safari on the iPad.
Google fails to understand that we do not need sub featured pages for our tablets. Tablets work fine with the desktop versions. They have probably concluded that iGoogle pages are too busy for tablets and so have disabled it. Tablet search has been significantly degraded by Goggle with elimination of the pinch and zoom and cached features. It should be possible to make a sticky setting change to Classic view on tablets. Most other settings stick, but not the Classic view. I dont think Google get it anymore.

Is there a way to "force" an EFI update?

Hi all
I have the Macbook 5,1 with 4GB of RAM. I read [over at OWC|http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb ] that this computer supports 8GB provided it has the "updated" version of the MB51.007D.B03 Boot ROM. I would be interested in installing 8GB to extend the life of the computer. It runs really well and is a gem.
As I understand OWC's text, Apple re-wrote the MB51.007D.B03 to allow addressing memory up to 8GB *but didn't change the version number*. My computer has MB51.007D.B03 but I don't know when this Boot ROM was installed because I bought the computer used in 2010.
When I try to install the EFI update which OWC links to the computer simply says that it is installed and that it cannot be applied.
As I live in Europe, it's a bit of a gamble for me to order the OWC RAM upgrade pack without knowing if it will actually work on my Macbook.
So here are my questions:
Would the message I get mean that I have the "updated" version of MB51.007D.B03 or would such a message come up also if I have the "old" version of MB51.007D.B03 installed (for instance, would the computer verify some sort of file checksum that differs between the two versions of MB51.007D.B03)?
Is there a way to "force" install of the MB51.007D.B03 which is on Apple's site (which presumably is the latest version) to ensure that I have the latest version installed so that I can safely order the OWC upgrade pack?
Thanks for any insight,
/p

Both ports having different IP's on the same network is not a recommended configuration. If you're trying to increase network bandwidth instead of multi-home, then the proper way to do it is to port-channel. Your switch will need to support bonded interfaces too.
If you must do it the way you have it set, then you can insert a static route so certain specific destinations are routed through that card. The correct way to do it is with two route statements. Assuming your IP assignments as above, your destination is 192.168.4.15, and you always want to go through the .10 interface, you would add:
route add -host 192.168.4.15 10.1.4.10
I haven't tested this so I might have the syntax slightly wrong. The first approach (bonding the two ports) is a much better solution.

Is there a way to force applications to use window opening (and closing) animations?

I'm not a big fan of the fact that most of the time, when windows open, they don't display any sort of animation, and pretty much nothing has a closing animation.
Is there any way to force all apps to use some sort of animations, and also, is there a way to enable window closing animations?
It just kind of bothers me, probably because of that fact that I just abandoned Windows 8 for OS X.

Hack using spell checker's smart quote feature:
If the document doesn't use double quotes...
Edit > Find/Change:
Change all ( to "
Change all ) to "
Those are straight quotes.
Edit > Spell Check:
On all instances with "string", click [Correct]
On all instances with "string, type in (string) and click [Correct].
Edit > Find/Change:
Change all \` to (
Change all \' to )
Those are left and right double curly quotes.
Yes, you have to hit each instance, but it will be click-to-continue except on mismatch.

Is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?

I'm using apex.oracle.com and I find values of application (global) and page items persisting across logins.
I didn't expect that? I thought they would go away when I logged out of APEX. But I can change the values, logout, and log back in to the same values. And when I login and start an application, it's not running my "shared components > application processes" initialization code which is set "on new session".
I thought each login would be a distinct new session with it's distinct set of items. (see definition below)
So when I run an application, is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?
>
What Is a Session?
A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Each session is assigned a unique identifier. The Application Express engine uses this identifier (or session ID) to store and retrieve an application's working set of data (or session state) before and after each page view.
Because sessions are entirely independent of one another, any number of sessions can exist in the database at the same time. Also, because sessions persist in the database until purged by an administrator, a user can return to an old session and continue running an application long after first launching it. A user can also run multiple instances of an application simultaneously in different browser sessions.
Sessions are logically and physically distinct from Oracle database sessions used to service page requests. A user runs an application in a single Oracle Application Express session from log in to log out with a typical duration measured in minutes or hours. Each page requested during that session results in the Application Express engine creating or reusing an Oracle database session to access database resources. Often these database sessions last just a fraction of a second.

I cleaned up the copy of the Select List code in APEX 4.1.xxx which was not operating correctly before. Now it matches what I have in APEX 4.2.yyyy. And, drum roll please, the select list seemingly works fine there (4.1) as well. But now, the initialization code--which was working fine(!)--FAILS in 4.1!
•
Okay. Maybe this will help. 1) I logged in. Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and wrote down the session ID. Logged out and back in. 2) Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and .... it has the same session ID? 3) So the session is persisting across logins!! How is that possible?
(More) When I log into 3 different applications, I get a different session ID for each but repeated logins always give the same session ID for any given session.

Is there a way to force Local Debug

Hi,
I can't debug on any oracle 9i server, having this issue :
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_COMPILER_FLAGS=INTERPRETED
Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '127.0.0.1', '4000' )
ORA-30683: failure establishing connection to debugger
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1
The reason is, I guess, because the Oracle server can't access my computer because there is a firewall between them that I can't remove ...
But, I also use some Oracle 8i db, behind the same firewall, and these work great !
It seems that SQL developper do some local debug on oracle 8i, and some remote debug on oracle 9i.
Is there a way to force local debug on Oracle 9i db from sql developper ? (it should be possible, because TOAD debug works perfectly, so I guess it's using local debug)
Thanks !

Thanks
but I already tried that
It seems I need to provide my IP address, so that the server can access my computer.
But even if I provide it, it's impossible for the server to access my computer because there is a firewall between us that I can't remove ...
There's no way for me to do some remote debug ..
That's why I'd like to do some local debug ...

Is there a way to force BSSID?

I've been searching weeks for help. I'm pretty sure that this is no longer an option, but i'm hopeful someone can help or have another recommendation. I'm at a summer job at a campus with my blackbook 4,1. There are many APs with the same SSID around. For some reason, my macbook wants to keep connecting to an AP that doesn't work. This AP isn't even the strongest signal point, but it keeps connecting regardless. There are 802.11a and g bands available, and the A band is working and quick when I am able to connect to it (rarely). Is there a way to force OSX to connect to a specific BSSID (one of the working APs), or force it to the A band? Again, I do not have access to rename APs. Why can I do this on my PC, but not my Macbook?

Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously. Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds. That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to dump its input buffer to the database?

I have an application where I start a process and log the data, and then call a subVI that uses the Read Historical Trend VIs to get all of the data from when the process started until now. The problem is that the Historical Trend VIs only read from the database on disk, and the Tag Engine's buffer doesn't write to disk until it's full (or possibly times out; I'm not sure about that, though). Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to write to disk, so that the Historical Trend VIs will return the most recent data?
Shrinking the buffer will help a little, but that will only result in missing less of the most recent data. One possible hack is to have a dummy tag that I simply write enou
gh data to that will cause the buffer to be written to the database. I was hoping for something more elegant, though.

That's a good question.
The control about the datalogging and the DSC Engine is all done (more or less) automatically - you feel the NI ease-of-use idea
That means the Citadel service (one of the NI Services installed by LabVIEW DSC) is responsible of taking care about the datahandling (writing to and reading from the database files including caching some data e.g. index files, frequently used data...).
The DSC Engine makes a request to the Citadel service that this data has to be logged. Everything else is handled by the Citadel service. Internally, there are two kinds of logging periods handled through the Citadel service. One for traces being viewed (a small period: 200ms) and one for traces not being viewed (slow (big) log period: 20000ms). That
means, if Citadel gets a request to store a value it will buffer it and store it as soon as possible depending on other circumstances. One depends on the fact if this trace data is being viewed (e.g. with Read Histroical Trend.vi) If you request/read to view a trace you should pretty much see the current values because citadel should use the fast log period.
The Citadel service takes care as well about setting priorities e.g. the writes before the reads (We don't want to loose data - right?). That means if you really stuff the system by writing a lot of data the CPU might get overloaded and the reads will happen less often.
If you really want to see "real-time" data I would recommend to use the "Trend Tags.vi". With this approach you avoid the chain DSCEngine-Output Buffer-CitadelService-InputBuffer-File-HD... and back.
I hope this info helps.
Roland
PS: I've attached a simple VI that has a tip (workaround) in it which might do what you are looking for... However, Nationa
l Instruments cannot support this offically because the VI being used are internally DSC VIs that certainly change in the next version of LV DSC... and therefore you would need to "re-factor" your application.

Is there a way to force color management ON in Flash Player 10

Here's my problem:
I have a wide gamut display (calibrated and profiled) and
with a wide gamut display, it is very important to have web
browsing (and ideally everything else) fully color managed, because
unmanaged colors get displayed horribly wrong.
Firefox 3 supports full end-to-end color management (when
switched on). It even wisely assumes sRGB for CSS color values and
untagged images. But of course, Firefox 3 can't control Flash
rendering and this makes it impossible to view web pages that
contain Flash with correct (or even near-correct) colors.
So is there a way to force Flash Player 10's color management
ON by default? I know it is probably not a good idea in many cases,
but in my case, it would work a lot better than having if off by
default.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5.
