Leopard sees NTFS as MS-DOS and refuses to mount partition.
As the subject says above i have other NTFS partitions which are accessable via Paragon's Mac NTFS via Mac OS 10.5.2 but after the boot camp install of Vista the Vista partition some how is seen as MS-DOS. Where in the mac's filesystem can i edit manually the entry for the mount list that is make the use a NTFS fs instead of MS-DOS?
Paragon came out with an update a week or two ago, or go with MacFUSE latest + 3G - after you uninstall Paragon.
I don't like to see OS X putting ".DS" and other files on NTFS, and filenames that are legal on OS X with special characters can cause problems for Vista and NTFS.
I would look at Wiki for NTFS. I don't know if Apple can use it (they had the option in beta BootCamp setup but seems to be gone) and Vista now you have to format a drive as Master Boot Record to use MacFUSE to create NTFS, I could not with GPL partition.
Or just convert or create partitions in Vista.

IMac 27" (late 2011), Mountain Lion, Bootcamp, and OSX partition disappearing and refusing to mount
Hey all,
I'm putting this as a question in the discussion forms for bootcamp as I'm not sure where else to put it, but I resolved an issue I was having and having spent all of yesterday and the day before reading through this community and some others looking for answers and mostly seeing "hope you have backups, time to format!" (which to me is not always the best answer), I thought I would put it here for search purposes (with all the key words I had to use) in case anyone else has a similar issue.
My scenario was this:
2011 27" iMac with Mountain Lion installed and Windows 7 installed on a boot camp partition.
1) Haven't been in windows in a while, wanted to play some windows only steam games. Load windows 7. All is well. Have fun. Time to reboot into osx.
2) Reboot using bootcamp toolbar icon.
3) Wander away from computer. Come back to find windows 7 has loaded again. "That's weird", I think. Reboot again, this time hold down option key to select boot device.
4) Discover the only options are the Bootcamp partition and the Recovery partition. OSX "Macintosh HD" partition has disappeared. Huh.
5) Load recovery partition and load disk utility.
6) Review disk utility to discover the Macintosh HD partition shows up in the list, but won't mount. Run verify and repair tools. Errors are as follows: Invalid node structure, invalid key length, invalid record count, etc etc. Running a repair fails - disk utility advises me to back up and erase the drive and that the partition is unrepairable. No offense disk utility, but I think I'll try a few more options first.
7) Purchase DiskWarrior on advice of multiple posters in other threads and general online consensus of it being capable of fixing these sorts of errors. Go through process of loading bootable dvd.
8) Diskwarrior cannot see the Macintosh HD partition. This is bad. Review more threads. Advice is that if diskwarrior can't fix it, hope you have backups and wipe the drive. Likely to be hardware failure. I'm skeptical of hardware failure, because windows is chugging along running fine if I boot into it, and I ran a scan of the windows partition and it came back clean. SMART status is also showing the drive is ok. However, running out of options and starting to lose hope.
9) Follow advice in this support topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417?viewlocale=de_de Both safe mode and disk utility aren't options (safe mode won't work without it seeing the partition) so sounds like fsck is the final option.
10) Start up in Single User Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492). Run fsck per instructions. It reports back ok.
11) Realize fsck is checking the recovery partition, and not my damaged OSX partition. Realize I don't know anything about unix commands and have no idea how to tell fsck to check a different partition.
12) Learn that I need to find out what the drive id is for the damaged partition. Reboot, load up disk utility, select greyed out "macintosh HD" partition, click info. Write down the id: disk0s2 (likely to be the default for you as well if you have one drive in your imac and a default bootcamp install).
13) Go back into single user mode and type the following (without quotes): "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2"
14) (Forgot to copy down exactly what it said at this point, but gist of it was that the drive had errors and isnt repairable). Feel like ****, thinking this is unlikely to resolve itself nicely.
15) With nothing to lose, try to force fsck to rebuild the catalog - "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" I found this syntax on some forums and can't find the thread again. I have no idea what the -rc and -d do that -fy don't, but if someone can let me know, that'd be cool. Either way, this resulted in something actually happening. Tells me it is "rebuilding catalogue b-tree". Still, finishes with a bunch of errors about improperly linked files, more node errors, etc etc.
16) Retry "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2". It seems to be doing stuff now, even though there are lots of errors. Continue to re-run fsck using this syntax. Probably ran it 10-15 times. Takes over an hour. Finally, minimal errors being reported.
17) Realize that perhaps I should try Diskwarrior again now, since I've managed to do soemthing to the partition with fsck.
18) Run Diskwarrior from bootable DVD. Success! It now sees the damaged partition. Reports that it has a bunch of damaged crtitical files, and needs to be repaired, but hey, at least it can see it.
19) Let Diskwarrior do its thing, and reboot.
20) Boot from repaired OSX partition. Rejoice. Immediately plug back in the timemachine drive you foolishly unplugged to take away over the holidays and neglected to plug back in before you had commenced work on stuff you didnt want to lose through formatting, which is why you are so desperate to recover files rather than wiping and restoring from time machine backups and avoiding this whole mess.
TL;DR - If Disk Utility and DriveWarrior fail you, try running fsck (using different syntax that apple recommends) as many times as it takes to get the partition to a stage where diskwarrior can see it. All advice I saw for similar questions was to erase, reinstall OSX, and restore from time machine backup. For those of you who are foolish like me and had files that werent time machine'd, or those who operate without, maybe try this.
Hope this helps!What -rc & -d do.
From: The fsck_hfs manual page.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man8/fsck_hfs.8.html
-d Display debugging information. This option may provide useful information when fsck_hfs cannot repair a damaged file system.
-r Rebuild the catalog btree. This is synonymous with -Rc.
-R flags Rebuilds the requested btree. The following flags are supported:
a Attribute btree
c Catalog btree
e Extents overflow btree
I had the same problem as you but unfortunately "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" is failing saying: "The volume could not be verified completely." I believe it's supposed to be telling me the partition's name (normally "Macintosh HD") between 'volume' and 'could' because there's 3 spaces in between the words.
"fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2" is failing with the same error.
I tried "fsck_hfs -r -d /dev/disk0s2" since the c appears redundant with a lowercase R. and it again says it cannot be verified completely and adds "volume check failed with error 7". Which unfortunately is not documented on the fsck_hfs man page!
Unfortunately for me, Diskwarrior still can't see my busted Mac OS partition. -
Formatting New External Hard Drive from NTFS to MS-DOS Problem
Hi I'm new to the mac family and I just got a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive and hooked it up - it mounted fine but it comes formatted NTFS so its in a read only state at the moment. I want to reformat it to MS-DOS so I can use it for both my mac and windows pc's. I went to disk utility to do this but all of the options are greyed out so I cannot erase it. What do I have to do to format it?
Open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and with the GUID partition table format.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.
Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X. -
On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.Try Here > AMDS > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?
Just to clarify:
Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
Right click on the first image of the selection.
From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
Click it. -
Hello, I downloaded an ntfs systemfile from tuxera and used it to convert a usb stick so I could put more than the fat32 4gb on, my Imac froze a while after so I turned it off the on and now I have blue vertical lines on boot up and the a white screen with lots of tine blue symbols after, mouse pointer moves but thats about it.
Have used R and cmd to get a menu up but once I choose one of the four options my mouse is rendered useless and I cant get any further, have downloaded, to another usb stick recovery disk assisstant and am trying to use that in conjunction with the lion option on the previously mentioned screen, computer was responding really slowly and has now frozen on the terms of software license agreement (maybe the last hurdle!) can anyone pleeeeeease help!!!!!??????It's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test.

Written by: Sumit Jain After working extensively on Informatica Cloud, I have collected some to dos and guidelines of the Informatica Cloud product. You may know them before hand, but I thought to compile a list and share it with a wider audience: 1. Create a Naming Conventions document detailing the standard naming conventions for different types of Connections, Tasks, Taskflows and schedules within Informatica Cloud. All the developers should rigorously follow these naming conventions. It has been observed that when multiple people are working simultaneously, they tend to follow their own naming standards and at the end, there are lot of tasks and it is very difficult to identify tasks and administrator has to spend a good amount of time identifying the correct tasks. 2. Add meaningful description to all your tasks, connections, taskflows and schedules in such a way that they convey the purpose of their use and thus do not create confusion to other users. 3. The machine the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent runs on must always be on. It must not be in a sleep mode or in “idle”. This might be indicated when the Agent status fluctuates between an active/inactive state. Make sure this computer is on or re-install the agent on a computer that stays on continuously. 4. If you are using the CSV files as source or target, make sure that you match up the date format in the associated connection for flat files, by dropping down the Date Format list and choosing the matching format. And If there isn’t a matching format in the drop down list, then you will need to explicitly format the date in Step 5 of Data Synchronization task by using a transformation function called TO_DATE. 5. If there is a requirement of performing a lookup on Salesforce objects, then do not create a direct lookup. A direct lookup on Salesforce object will call the Salesforce object for each record processed and thus performance will decrease considerably. Instead, write the data of Salesforce object in a flat file and then use the flat file for doing the lookup. 6. For incremental processing, use the “$LastRunTime” and “$LastRunDate” variables in conjunction with a source field of “date” type. Informatica Cloud supports and maintains these variables automatically. For example, if your source has a field called LASTMODIFIEDDATE, you could set up your filter such that LASTMODIFIEDDATE > $LastRunTime. If your schedule then runs the task on a daily basis, that means each day you will only have to deal with the new/changed records from the previous day, instead of worrying about ALL records. 7. If the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent is running on a linux or unix server, it will not support MS SQL Server as source or target. 8. In a multi-user environment where the number of tasks to be created is very high, create Views based on logical groups for viewing similar group task in a single task view. Similarly you can create views for connection and taskflows. 9. SYSDATE is the current datetime you can use to denote the current date and time. 10. Use logical operators like IIF and DECODE to encode conditional logic in the expression in Step 5 of Data Synchronization task. This has been posted on the community page as well. https://community.informatica.com/docs/DOC-3772 What are some of your best practices? Please share with us on the comment section below. Thanks!
Overview In part 1 of this series, I discussed why I thought that the new app platform from Salesforce.com ("Salesforce 1") was far from perfect and described this as "the App Gap". Sure, Salesforce 1 is a vastly improved mobile experience for every Salesforce user, but it still provides no help in two crucial areas. Namely:There is no ability for business users to quickly deploy mobile apps by themselves.There is no automation to help users efficiently complete more than one salesforce activity at a time. I also explained in part 1 that these shortcomings can be easily addressed by adding Informatica Cloud Extend to any Salesforce 1 implementation. So for the remainder of this article I'll explain how to configure your Salesforce org to leverage Informatica Cloud Extend. Then you'll be closing the Salesforce 1 'App Gap' in no time. Step 1. Modify VisualForce Launch Pages It turns out that Informatica Cloud Extend guides can run easily from Salesforce 1. This is because Salesforce 1 now lets the user navigate to an object within the mobile app, and then the user can run a Cloud Extend guide from that object. But in order to get a Cloud Extend guide to run in Salesforce 1, the VisualForce page for launching CE guides must be modified first. VisualForce pages have an option for “Available for Salesforce mobile apps”: So check that option. Step 2. Replace 'Managed' Cloud Extend VisualForce Pages The VisualForce pages for standard Salesforce objects are part of the Cloud Extend managed package, so users cannot edit them (we manage these pages in order to improve your Cloud Extend experience. In addition we also update them as needed with new Cloud Extend releases). However that doesn't mean that can't replace the relevant VisualForce pages. So that's what we're going to do. The doc on how to do so is here: http://help.cloudextend.com/salesforce/documentation/#UserGuide/AdministeringCloudExtend/CustomizingStandardPages.htm So for our example, let's replace the Opportunities VisualForce page. Below is an screenshot of an example replacement VisualForce page: The VisualForce markup for the page is: <apex:page standardController="Opportunity"> <ce4sf20_001:AeSalesGuides objectType="Opportunity" objectId="{!Opportunity.Id}" extraInfo="{!JSENCODE(Opportunity.Name)} ({!JSENCODE(Opportunity.Account.Name)})"/> </apex:page> To replace this page, I first went to the Opportunity screen layout editor and removed the existing VisualForce page for Cloud Extend guides. Then I replaced it with the “mobile-enabled” VisualForce page that I just created. Step 3. Testing that it Works! The final step is to test that it works. So now open the Salesforce 1 app and navigate to an Opportunity object: The Cloud Extend guide launcher appears (I only had the “Update Selected Opportunity” guide published for smartphones. If there were other Cloud Extend mobile guides published for Opportunities, they would have also appeared in this list). Next I click the “Update Selected Opportunity” and a new window within Salesforce 1 launches: Clicking on the Cloud Extend "Update Selected Opportunity" guide again starts the guide running: When the guide finished, I clicked the arrow in the top left of Salesforce 1 to take me back to the Opportunity object that first initiated the Cloud Extend guide. So there you have it! A a quick way to integrate Informatica Cloud Extend working in the new Salesforce 1 application. Of course there may be other ways to integrate Cloud Extend into Salesforce 1 and we will certainly be looking at those options going forward.

I bought my iPhone 5 the day the stores in my area received them in. I was incredibly impressed with the battery life for an iPhone. The battery life was awesome up until the last few weeks. Now I can hardly make it through the day on a charge. When I get around 20% power left its only a matter of a few seconds before the batter jumps down to below 10% without me doing anything. Immediately after that it shuts off and refuses to come back on when only 30 seconds ago it said I had 20% battery power.... I'm not a terribly heavy user on my phone. I just check the social media sites a few times a day and send a few text messages and that's all. I've shut off location services, Bluetooth, automatic updating of email, closing apps and all that stuff. I'm almost always connected to wifi when I do anything with the Internet on my phone.
Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version -

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.
Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

Running Leopard on one partition and Tiger on another partition?
I have recently purchased a family pack of Leopard, and I am reading up on a lot of the posts, here, before I venture the installation on two machines. I intend to install Leopard one machine at a time and give a few weeks between installations.
One machine is a 20" 2.0 Ghz Intel - IMAC Aluminum (August 2007), and the other is a G4 Powerbook 17" 1.67ghz 250GB HD. I will probably install on the IMAC first.
My question concerns the G4 Powerbook 17." I have just purchased a 250gb internal hard drive; however, it has not arrived yet. From time to time, I want to be able to run a few programs in classic....., and to have that available to me in the rare event that I want to look at files formatted for classic programs. Call me old fashion or unable to let go of the past... .in any event, I have some files that may be difficult to convert or some software that I do not want to purchase in OS X because I use those programs so rarely.
Initially, I considered just having an external fire wire drive with Tiger installed on it in which I could boot classic up on the rare occasion.
My new idea has been to partition the internal drive to have 10 gb or so available for Tiger. Has anyone successfully run Leopard on one partition and Tiger on the other partition or do they potentially cause problems for one another? Any suggestions, recommendations or concerns are welcomed.Works like a champ. I run Panther, Tiger, Leopard, and OS 9 on the G4 w/o problems.
Get a bootable, external HD, partition it into enough volumes to accommodate each machine, and make bootable backups/clones of each machine before upgrading/updating and ensure that each boots that machine and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall anything. See these for details:
