Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended Journaled?

HI,
I have three external La Cie Hard Drives connected to my Mac (along with my original start-up disk) and have had several problems with one of them, which I'm about to erase and re format. I've noticed I have the other two formatted as Mac OS Extended, while the one that keeps playing up is formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled. Is there any real benefit to having it Journaled, I'm thinking I should have it formatted the same as the others.
Also when I went to my local Apple store and told them of my Hard Drive's problems, they told me to repair the permissions for it, I told them it doesn't give me the option to do this for any of my external Hard Drives and they seemed surprised and told me that it should. I thought this would only work if you have Mac OS X installed on them. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help in advance,

I understand you want the drive to be Journaled if you plan to have it bootable. When Journaling is turned on for a drive or volume, a continuous record (a journal) is created by the Mac OS, of the work that you do, i.e., opening, saving , deleting files, etc. If your Mac crashes or goes down do to a power failure, upon reboot, Journaling will help the Mac OS to get back up and running. If you plan to use it as a scratch drive only, Extended is just fine. I prefer to have all my drives Journaled, just incase I change my mind on usage.
Your correct about repairing permissions. The person may have thought it was set to be bootable, as those are usually the drives people refer to when having problems.

  • Desktop extending software...extend Mac Desktop to use additional monitor on a PC.

    Hi folks.  I'm looking for something that will extend my mac osx desktop to a second monitor that is connected to a PC on our network.  Anyone know of anything like this?  Thanks.

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

  • Camera Raw disappeared Mac OS 10.6.8 CS5 Extended v12.0

    Camera Raw disappeared Mac OS 10.6.8 CS5 Extended v12.0. So has my Microtek Scanner (crashes). I've been told that upgrading to OS 10.6.8 caused corruption to the drivers. But both worked for long time with 10.6.8.
    I had Camera Raw but haven't used it for long time. Now it is just not there. I reinstalled it and today, installed the patch. But still no Camera Raw. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Where are you trying to look for Camera Raw? From inside of Photoshop? If so, you won't "find it" because Camera Raw is called on when you open a raw digital capture.
    Try opening Bridge and navigate to a folder with digital images, then open the image from Bridge, it should launch Camera Raw. If it doesn't either you are not opening a raw image or Camera Raw is not installed.
    Camera Raw can also open flat TIFFs and JPEGs, you can use the Bridge command Open in Camera Raw under the Fie menu...

    If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it list?
    I suspect you still have Camera Raw 7.0
    When you go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6, it says nothing available?

  • Is a MAC address filter incompatible on an extended network?

    Hello all,
    I've bought myself an Airport Express and an Airport Extreme.
    The Express serves two roles:
    1. Play music
    2. Extend my network (a real extension, not just a network join)
    On my Extreme, I've setup MAC address filtering with a time-based access (to avoid hacking of my network during the night -- don't worry, I have WPA2 security too...). Here's what I've done:
    - All devices: no access from 11 PM to 7 AM
    - Airport Express: always access
    - Macbook Pro: always access
    So far, so good.
    Now, the problem I see if the following: IF my Express has access anytime, then an unknown device CAN connect to my network at night (midnight for example) simply because it will connect on my Express instead of my Extreme! It's like an unlocked back door!
    So, from what I see, when I extend a network, the MAC filtering is not passed along to the "extending" devices. Also, on an extended network, I CAN'T set a MAC filter... So I'm stuck with an unsecure extending device.
    So, my question is the following: is this normal behavior or is this an oversight from Apple? In other words, how can I extend my network and "propagate" my security setting on all my devices?
    Thanks!
    P.-S. On another topic, but related, any idea how to apply a setting without rebooting the router everytime? This is very annoying.

    HI Yes this works fine. I have these  wifi base stations these configurations on the same subnet in my place *using MAC filtering (access control)* in two extended networks.. Here's how I do it.
    • AEBS 802.11n@5Ghz 9DHCP and WAN.. and MAC ADDRESSES. TimecapsuleTV = SSID="my5Gwifi" , closed network
    • 1 x AEBS 802.11g 2.4Ghz snow coloured dome base station (connected through ethernet to the main 802.11n AEBS) + 2 x 802.11g APx's + 802.11N APX; closed network; name | SSID ="my2.4Gnetwork"; all bridge mode. FOr WDS add all MAC addreses of all devices like iphones, ipods, macs, pea-seas, PS2's etc and the other APX base stations too!.
    Here's the deal:
    for the 802.11N base stations (AEBS . TC or APX gen 2), the extensible wifi stations are through '+extend this network+" in the + Airport Utility+.. There is no provision for the extension stations to addf any ACCESS control if you use BRIDGE MODE> (as I would you to do advise).
    • for the *802.11g or WDS* I have found that you must ADD all the MAC addresses in EACH of the base statsion. This is simple to do my exporting all teh mac address config lists and importing them as you need. THis works fine.
    My company registers world wide all laptop wireless nics. We have over 300,000 employees (3 x 10**5) all dynamically VPN'ed adn mac address filtered for windows , linux and unix. it works for them worldwide. Walk into any office and you are connected.
    As for me and others WEP, WPA2 and all that is a mess around for hours (with that awful redmond based software) with frustrating and a huge waste of time when some one tries to connect to your system with some of those ghastly microsoft opertating systems. They all have their quirks. Vista - well you mostly know.
    In any case the simplest and I beleive effective for most is MAC ADDRESS fitering.
    FWIW all ways can be infiltrated.. you just need to monitr your network or add a GBE hub and use cables where the cables are in a locked oom.

  • I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please?

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 Mac (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please? This is in UK, btw!

    What do you consider a sensible price?  PS CS6 extended is available only when you purchase the CS6 Suite, which is around $1000 for the upgrade from CS5.  PS 6, which is not extended, is about $200, but I'm not sure about upgrading to a single app from a suite.  Adobe used to allow it, but I'm not sure about now.  PS CC and Lightroom 5 combo is $9.99 a month or PS CC alone for $19.99 or the whole CC suite for $29 a month.  The latest CC apps are "extended."

  • Hello, i own an i7 all in one mac. I tried to partition him using bootcamp but didn't have mac os cd neither mac instalation. the problem i am dealing now its that i cant go back to OS partition since its not appeared when i restart c and no win drivers

    I tried to partition him using bootcamp but didn't have mac os cd neither mac instalation. the problem i am dealing now its that i cant go back to OS partition since its not appeared when i restart c and no win drivers to have a properly running system. I've thought as an option to re-download boot-camp and run the instalation from windows partition and see if i can repair it that way, didnt try yet thought just in case anyone has a better prposition or dealed with the same problem

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

    I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine.  Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
    The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection.  Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties).  The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8.  When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
    Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
    thx,

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How can I remove Photoshop/lightroom/bridge from my old mac to my new mac?

    I bought from Adobe the package with ps/lr/br and payed already for a year.
    Now I bought a new mac and would like to remove the programs from my old mac to my new mac. So, how can I do?
    They are connected with watch other now and I deinstalled the Creative cloud on my old one, so what can I do now? How can I install the programs on my new mac without paying again?

    Install the Creative Cloud manager on the new machine and load up the applications from there.

  • Data transfer very slow on mac pro!! mac H/W unable to fit specifications.

    Hi,
    I am installinginternal disks on the quad mac pro and the transfer ratet in the mac are very slow!!!
    the disks are: barracuda 7200.10 disks, 500 GB. Sta II 300, max ST3500630AS firmware 3.AAE . throughput:300mb.jumpred off to get the 300.
    MAC tells that the QUAD MAC Pro equipment (2x2.66ghz dualcore intel xeon) comes with a 3.Gigabit specification/ 300MB/sec. (Intel ESB2 AHCI, speed: 3.0 Gigabit. AHCI version 1.10 supported)...
    And the benchmarks of the disk ST3500630AS show maximum 80MB/sec and a minimin of 37.3MB/sec, average 63.1 MB/sec. (anandtech tests).
    According to seagate.com the maximum sustained data transfer rate:78MB/s
    but in the mac the reallity is different: I am getting a transfer rate of 22MB/sec!!!!! . with out any application running and only making copy of the files!!!!
    that means that the mac is only providing only 1/3 of the expected transfer rate for the disks..
    so, is there a way that the MAC Pro gets all the normal transfer rate for those disks???
    Is the Quad MAC Pro hardware unable to get the maximum throughput of the disks???
    It seems that the mac is unable to get also the average transfer rate of those disks.. how to correct it???
    thanks a lot
    Alberto
    ps. just for fun: I am getting a faster transfer rate from an old power pc ,and old pc, and firewire 400 and old ide disks!!! (36MB/seg!!!)

    Yup.
    BThe latest Mac Pro are better, so if you have a new or 2 month old unit, Seagate should work, though I think there should be later firmware.
    Some would say those drives take the cake or woRSe.
    http://www.barefeats.com/hard91.html
    SEAGATE PUZZLES
    +Firmware version 3.AEE or later solves the slow sustained large block write speed issue for a single 7200.10 inside the Mac Pro.+
    +The remaining performance issue is slow small random read speeds for one, two, three or four drives. No matter how many drives you configure in RAID 0 sets, the average random read speed for combined block sizes from 64K to 1024K is less than 30MB/s (based on QuickBench 3 testing).+
    +Until Seagate fixes this, we can't recommend the 7200.10 series as the ideal boot drive for the Mac Pro (or Power Mac).+

  • Using a Mac Mini with my Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini, but only one monitor and one keyboard. Can I hook up the Mac Mini so it will appear on the monitor (like another hard drive) when I am using the Mac Pro? I would like to use the Mac Mini strictly as a storage device and be able to drag files from the Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.

    Put the Mac Mini in Target Disk Mode (start while holding "T") and connect it to the Mac Pro with a FireWire cable. If you want it to always start in Target Disk Mode:
