LaCie Quadra 500 GB not recognize ONLY on iMac Alu
Today the LaCie Quadra 500 GB connected via FW800 to an iMac 20" Alu suddenly stopped to be recognized by the system... The drive emitted a strange noise as if it was an old vinile LP...
I know, bad feelings about its safeness... but when I connected it to a PowerMac G5 it was immediately mounted on the desktop and either Disk Utility and Drive Genius have reported the disk is OK, with no software or hardware issues...
Re-connected back to the iMac it isn't still recognized, even if I've changed cable, port and chain position with another LaCie disk.
I've sent a support request to LaCie and I'll wait an answer in the next days, but if anyone could have an idea about this problem, I'll be glad to read it.
Thanks,
Matteo
Macteo,
You're very welcome and I hope we get to the bottom of this.... Here's something to do - with the drive plugged in ( and not responsive) - go into System Profiler ( you can get there via the Apple menu and clicking more info ). What does it say under your Firewire settings? Does the drive show up there? Name of the drive, etc.
I re-read your original posting and noticed it said the drive made a weird noise. Hmmm.. I had a Lacie Big Disk Extreme FW800 drive and it recently died on me. I hope that Lacie technical support are better with you then with me as they we not extremely helpful as my drive was past the standard warranty....
Anyway, get back to us with the System Profiler information and maybe that will shed some additional light on this mystery, Mr. Watson.
Good luck!
Rudy

If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so. I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc. And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in. What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
This is very frustrating. I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16. Help!The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords. Those other passwords are all incorrect. The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
People, just keep entering the password you know is correct. It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me. If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes).

My TVs do not recognize the Stor.E ALU 2S
Hello mega-experts...
I am having a problem with my new Stor.E hard disc.
I have inserted some films, but my TV's do not recognize the hard disc.
I have connect throught USB connection, I have another hard disc ( not toshiba ) and not problem..
could you help me?.
Regards,Hi
Do an notebook or PC recognize the Store.E?
I dont know what kind of HDDs your TVs support but you should definitely check this!
If the Stor.E HDD is recognized by computer, you have to consider an compatibility issue between this HDD and your TVs
Furthermore there is an software preinstalled on the Toshiba HDD.
You could remove such CD part as mentioned here:

Kernel panic when I connect my LAcie quadra 500 GB external disk
As soon as I connect my hard disk I obtain a kernel panic. the veil fall on my screen and I must restart. Somebody could help me thank you in advance
configuration macbook proWelcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you connected the drive to the power source and started up the drive, then plugged it into the proper firewire connection on an already running Mac?
Check your cable connections and the drive's connection to the power source.
It could also be a defective drive, in which case LaCie will stand by it, so contact them.

External Lacie hard Drive would not Mount on my imac
HI all,
I have had this Hard Drive for a few years now, worked great, no issues at all. Even after upgrading to 10.8 it continued to work.
A few days ago my cleaning lady moved the computer and disconected the Lacie drive (connected via Firewire) and since then I am not able to mount it again.
I see it on my Disk Utility but when I press "mount" I get an error messege "the disc can not be mounted, try First aid" but non of the buttons on First Aid work.
So far I tried re-settign the SMC, of course shutting down and starting back up numerus times but nothing.
I even tried working through Terminal, it can see the drive and its partition and when I looked online I saw a few commends to try and mount it, but nothing worked so far.
Here is what i wrote and got in terminal:

Details on my system:
its 10.8.2, iMac Intel core duo 2
The Drive is connected by Firewire
The drive is clearly there, it's working, I hear and feel it working (spining) but can't mount it.
What can I do in order to mount it and get my data of of it?
this is extermely important as my itunes library is there. PLEASE HELP SOON!
Thanks!Update:
so, I shelled out the $100 to get Disk Warrior, and got the following messege:
Directory cannot be rebuilt, the file system is unspported
This disk is not a macintosh Disk
and further down the list it said: File system: Windows/PC
All of this is of course distressing as this has been a Mac disk for several years now, not to mention the $100 gone in the wind.
what should I do now?
I have Parallels, would that help? is there a way of mounting the disk on there?
Should I try connecting it to a PC?
Please Help me!! -
IDVD 6 will not recognize SuperDrive in iMac
When opening iDVD I get a message that my iMac is not equipped with a recognized SuperDrive and that I will be unable to burn DVDs. The iMac shows that it is equipped with a "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06" that shipped as original equipment from Apple. Any suggestions???
Welcome to discussions, Jim.
Try repairing permissions first. (Found in HD / Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility)

New MacBook Retina Pro 15.4 inch with 2.2 Ghz and running Yosemite 10.10.2 will not recognize LaCie Quadra H2 disk. Also will not complete Time Machine Backup onto My Passport for Mac which it does recognize. Plenty of disc space both externals.
If you choose to use garbage such as "Intego VirusBarrier" you are going to need more memory, a lot more. I suggest you uninstall it according to its instructions, and evaluate your Mac's performance without burdening it with completely useless junk. As long as Intego remains active, your Mac will have few resources remaining to do anything else.
Using Intego's "Virus Barrier" and "Net Barrier" products on a brand new Mac containing nothing but one minimally configured user account resulted in performance degradation so severe that it became nearly unusable. No knowledgeable Mac user would consider using it even remotely tolerable.
Intego should only be uninstalled using the uninstaller included with it. Don't use anything else. A successful uninstallation will result in the following:
After that, restart your Mac. Other Intego components will remain but they will be inert and will not affect your Mac's operation. -
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.

iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it
Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?
In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters
Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
TomHi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex Dec
ř 159 345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.
If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
After updating to 10.1, projects/events that I had on an external HD are not recognizable by FCP, and only open up as TextEdit when I try to open them in Finder. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
You do not open the project from Finder. You do that from FCP. They are in the library.
