LaCie Mini not showing up as available for TM

I have been using a LaCie Mini 500 gb drive as my time machine drive for a 6 months. Now it does not detect the drive properly when I plug it into my computer. It was recognizing it yesterday, but it would become available during the backup. Today it is not recognizing it at all, meaning it does not show up in finder.
Please help.

See if you can repair it, via #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
If it doesn't appear in Disk Utility's sidebar, be sure all connections are tight and secure; try other ports and cables.
If it has it's own power supply, be sure it's plugged in to a known good outlet. While it's plugged-in, hold it to your ear. They've had a "run" of bad power supplies, and apparently the bad ones make some noise. One poster described it as a "squishing" noise, whatever that is. If so, contact LaCie.
If all else fails, the drive has probably failed but at 6 months old, it should be covered by warranty . Contact your retailer or LaCie.

Lightroom not showing all photos avail for import

About a week ago, I tried to import some new photos into LR 3 (3.4.1 to be exact), and the import dialogue does not show all the photos that should be available for import.
The files are on my hard drive and there are approximately 200 photos in the file folder. When I open LR's import dialogue to import the photos (after navigating to the proper location to import from of course), it shows me 17 of the photos in the file folder! I selected "all" instead of "new" to see if that would make a difference and it did not. I made sure I did not have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, even closed LR and rebooted my computer.... that didn't work.
I tried creating a new catalog to see if that would fix the issue, and it did not.
I'm not sure what else to try, or if there is a known fix out there (having a heck of a time finding one in my internet search!)
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

Okay, so for giggles I tried checking in the Bridge to see if that changed anything... and it only showed the few files too. So I decided to "select all" and noticed at the bottom left that it listed the balance of my photos as "hidden." I have no idea how my files got hidden, or why it was only some and not others... but at least it's all fixed now and I can get back to what I need to do in LR!

New photos not showing up as available for import

I have a relatively new collection. I imported a shoot as usual. I edited a photo in another program and saved it as a jpeg to the same folder as everything else. I thought that edits were automatically recognized. However, it wasn't. And when I try to import the edit, it doesn't show up as an available file to import. Windows Explorer shows the file in the folder, but Lightroom 3.2 will not show that it is in the folder.
Interestingly, all edits from a previous import now have the same time stamp for each edit.
Any ideas? Thanks.

So, it's Photoshop CS3.
Anyway, from what I understood, you open the photo directly form the disk in Photoshop. That is, you don't use Lightroom to open the photo in Photoshop. It just doesn't work this way. As I said above, Lightroom has no way of knowing when to import a photo that has been saved in Photoshop.
If you insist on using Jpegs for derivative files, your best way to go is indeed using Synchronize.
However, I'd advice to use a lossless format, like TIFF or PSD. Why leave image quality on the table (as Jeff Schewe likes to say)? Storage is cheap and you're editing only your best photos in Photoshop anyway.
And as an additional benefit, you can automate the process of importing derivatives:
Configure what file type to use in Prefs: TIFF or PSD, bit depth, color space etc.
Select an image in Lightroom and hit Ctrl+E.
The derivative file is created in the chosen format and opened in Photoshop.
Edit and save in Photoshop.
Voila! Your edited derivative is already in Lightroom.

My appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy, does anyone know what the problem could be? I don't think I have been hacked (no money subtracted, etc.)

Hi all,
For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
Thanks!
Isidro

well... actually you are right dahveed, i had a dodgy copy of galaxy on fire 2 (boring game), that's what was giving me the issue. i followed your posts about the MAS etc., and discovered this was the problem. Corrected. You're a knowledgable man, thank you

HT1727 help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it;s not showing on my list for ringtones

help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it's not showing on my list for ringtones

This song was purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, you can't create a ringtone from music that was purchased from the iTunes store, but if there is a ringtone available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store with this song, you need to do that.
For music in your iTunes library on your computer that was not purchased from the iTunes store, there are a number of ways to create a ringtone with such music. With a Mac, there is an inexpensive or free app avaiable via Apple's online App Store named Ringer. Ringer has access to all music and sound files in your iTunes library that was not downloaded from the iTunes Store for creating your chosen segment of the song to be used for the ringtone. The app places the created ringtone in your iTunes library under Tones for transfer to your iPhone when syncing.
Creating ringtones on a Mac can also be done with GarageBand, and there is a manual way of doing this with iTunes.

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

Vendor Ref No. does not show in Journal Entry for AP Credit

AP Invoice journals show the vendor reference number in field Ref 2. However, when creating an AP Credit memo, the vendor reference number does not show in the journal for the credit memo, instead the field Ref 2 is used for the base document number.
I have two clients who have pointed out that they would expect to see the vendor ref number in the Ref 2 field in the journal when an AP Credit is created, as this is the functionality for Goods Receipts and AP Invoices.
Both clients are currently manually updating the Ref 2 field in the journal for AP Credit, so that in the BP account transactions view they can sort field Ref2 by vendor reference number.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a work around for this?
Thanks,
Lianne Plant

No. There is no AOL browser for the iPad if that is what you are asking.

HT1600 Apple TV software 6.0 not showing up as available

Apple TV software 6 is not showing up as available to download in settings. Any other way to download?

There have been several posts of failures of updates - Apple may have temporarily removed the update.
I'd wait.
Your other option would be to connect to iTunes via and restore to current using a microUSB cable, see the restore process:

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

Lion is no longer available from the Mac App Store. Even the thumb drive version has been withdrawn. It should be possible to get it by calling Apple Phone Sales.

Logic 9.0.2 is the last version that runs on a G5 - 9.1.x is Intel only.
If you have only 50 GB left on your system drive, you should consider it full. Get an external drive and move your music, movies and photo's to it, and delete them from your system drive to free up space.
The free space on the system drive is being used by the OS to offload RAM, rule of thumb is to keep at least 20 % of the drives' capacity free. When you have less and less free space, your Mac will eventually become very slow (many "beachballs").
I believe the current Logic Package has version 9.1 on it, be sure you have the correct (9.0) version...
