Your disk is dead and unless you pay for professional recovery help (which may not work) your data is gone.

HP 4330s SRS Premium Sound not working with External Speakers

And this is my second topic and rant!
The SRS Premium sound driver doesn't work with USB Speakers.
It doesn't work with Bluetooth speakers either!
In other words it only works with the Laptop speakers.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
SRS Premium sound for Deeper Bass and Clear sound enhancement bla bla bla now in you HP Laptop

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
DEEP BASS on these cell phone speakers!!! Really???
Why doesn't the SRS Premium Sound driver work with external speakers!
I believe I have used SRS Sandbox before and ALL THE SOUND was directed to that driver and it worked with everything!
WHY DOESN'T YOUR HP DRIVER WORK WITH EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
Is everyone in HP a bloody RETARD?

23. Will the SRS Audio Sandbox work with my USB speakers or Bluetooth speakers?
Yes, the current version, 1.6.6.0 will work. If you have a previous version that is not working with these speakers, please upgrade to this version.
Do you have anything else to share with me {Content Removed: rant}

Does Time Machine only work with external HDD's and Networks?

I have a Mac Mini that I just replaced the optical drive with a hard drive. This second HDD is formated into two partitions, with one of them being for my Time Machine backups, the other a media scratch drive.
When I try to choose this volume in setting up Time Machine, I get an error message that says, +"Are you sure you want to back up to the same disk your original data is on?"+ The message goes on to explain that +"the volume you have chosen for storing backups is on the same disk as the volume containing your data... you should back up to a volume on a different disk."+
The volume that I have selected IS on a different disk than my start-up system drive and the data to be backed up IS NOT on the same disk as the disk storing the backups. System Profiler defines my startup HDD as "BSD Name: disk0" and my second HDD as "disk1," with the two partitions "disk1s2" and "disk1s3." Mount Point for the start-up HDD is "/" and the two partitions on the second HDD are "/Volumes/Scratch Disk" and /Volumes/Time Machine." These two volumes show up as options when I "Choose Backup Disk" in Time Machine, but not the Mini's startup HDD.
Does Time Machine allow the use of second internal HDD? I have an external HDD, but it has a clone of my start-up drive on it. Thanks for any help.

Chris, excluding the other volume could certainly be the issue since the two options that I'm given for a backup volume are both on the same hard disk. The start-up system HDD is not listed. Maybe the message is referring to this, rather than to the start-up disk.
Not until after I selected "use this volume anyway," did I get to the "Option" screen to exclude items from the backup. When I selected "+" I was surprised to find the other volume, Scratch Disk, listed along with the start-up HDD as being included in the backup routine. So I selected Scratch Disk as one of the items to exclude.
As V.K. mentions, the cautionary message is rather vague as to what exactly it is referring to. Thanks.

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

+shift+ delete and +delete not working with external keyboard...

Most of the time, when I try to send a file to the trash or empty the trash using the keyloard shortcuts, it will only work if I use my laptop keyboard but not my external apple keyboard hooked up to it. Ocassionally it will work with my external keyboard, but most of the time it wont.
Does anyone have similar problems to this or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The only other thing I can think of is that the Finder can sometimes be slow in updating its view of reality. This is a perennial gripe about OSX. So maybe the issue is not the keyboard, but the Finder itself. Are you a fast typist? Try taking 3 deep breaths before using these key combos the next time you try to delete. Maybe that will let the finder catch up.
I only suggest this because, otherwise, the problem is pretty inexplicable.

SuperDrive not working and bootcamp seems not working with external CD

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook, and the internal SuperDrive is dead, now I'm using an
external CD drive (USB).
Yesterday I bought Leopard 10.5.4, (need to intall BootCamp).
The update from Tiger to Leopard was easy, and withought problems, but when I tried to install BootCamp, the partition seems correctly created, but when the program request the Windows CD and restart, a grey screen apears and nothing
happend... also Leopard is unable to start again, just the grey screen...
Now I found that if I press alt key, appear the Macintosh HD and i can start it,
but never automatically...
What can I do? I tried to reintall again with the same result...
I need BootCamp, if not i think i waste 129$ cause the only reason to purchase Leopard was BootCamp... also I need my computer reebot again by itself, not using the alt key... that's really anoying...
Please Help
Best regards.

Hi BigWaveSurfer,
I don't have an external CD/DVD-Drive, so I made some guessing.
From my understanding of Windows it is more likely to work with an USB-connected external drive than with a FireWire one.
Windows XP (and Vista to my knowledge) can only support/access Firewire devices with additional drivers, that are not loadad/used during the installation phase.
Only when Windows is fully installed the needed Firewire driver is present and Windows can use it.

Spotlight not working with External Drive (Wireless)

I have setup the new Airport Extreme (AE) and connected WD 500GB via USB to the (AE). Spotlight does not recognize the external drive when it is connected to the AE. It will of course work if I directly attach external drive to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how to get Spotlight to "see" and index this external drive. Thanks.

I was able to get my Airport disk working using the following Terminal command:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Maxtor\ HD
Replace Maxtor HD with the name of your HD. (The slash indicates a non-breaking space.)
It took awhile and then it started indexing.

Time Capsule and iTunes working with external HDD

Hello all.
I have a situation I would to share with you and see if there is a solution.
I have a PC and a Macbook Air. I had a Time Capsule which had my iTunes library but the drive failed and I lost everything. However when it was running things weren't going great. Because the Time Capsule was a bit clever, it only spun the HDD when TIme Machine was backing my MBA.
This meant that I had trouble accessing my iTunes library because it wasn't always available. So I would have to locate the library on most occasions and on even more occasions iTunes lost the links with my media files and had to go through the time consuming 'Find files' process.
I was wondering if an answer to my problem would be to store all my music and other media on an external HDD (like the GoFlex). The I could plug it into my PC, then my MBA and if I wanted to make it avable to both I could plug it into Time Capsule and it would 'broadcast' it to both.
I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how it worked, Would iTunes see the HDD plugged directly into the MBA as the same as the HDD being plugged into the Time Capsule?
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

AEX - Search does not work on external HDD

Hi,
I have a 1TB external HDD hooked up to AEX 802.11n. The HDD is formatted with the Mac file system.
Whenever I try to search for files or folders in the external drive I get absolutely no results.
I am searching for files/folders that I can see are available...but OSX finder returns no results.
The title of the search window simply says "Searching <external drive>" .
Thanks,

use Safari v5.1 or InternetExplorer v8, better v9
Firefox has a lot of issues with the web-interface. Just try one of the above to see the difference. Chrome,Opera etc might also work. At least chrome is using the very same code that makes up safari : webkit. Should be very compatible in terms of web-standards. Firefox uses gecko, which is non-standard to the way that Apple coded the portal.

Sleep not working with external screen in clamshell mode

I have my macbook with Lion operating in clamshell mode with an external display connected as the main screen.
Although I have set the computer to sleep after 10mins, this never happens and I have to sleep the computer manually every time.
If I disconnect the external display, or open my Mac and work with both screens, the computer does sleep properly after the set time.
I can't seem to find the fix anywhere, and the people in the mac store couldn't help me either.
Can anyone help please?
Thx,

Illustrator shortcuts not working with external keyboard?

I have a Mac keyboard attached to my macbook pro via USB. I use the CMD+Space shortcut to zoom when working on my laptop, but for some reason this short cut does not work? The SHIFT+Space shortcut still works to use the 'hand' tool.
Any ideas? I have been searching for hours. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have a windows mouse that you can plug into your laptop? Then you can option+scroll quite easily. It's kind of willnilly if you try it with a mac-mouse though.

Portal Drive not working with external load balancer

Hi,
We have a portal cluster and we are using external Load balancer from
Juniper for load balancing the portal cluster. When given the direct
portal URL (Central instance URL or Dialog instance URL), Portal Drive
is able to connect to portal and shows the KM documents properly. But
when given the Load balancer URL, it gives error saying "Can
not connect to host using WebDAV protocol". Load balancer URL works
fine from the browser without any problems. Any help is highly appreciated.
Helpful points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Steve,
For Portal Drive, Windows integrated authentication, client certificates,basic authentication and Kerberos is supported.
(in the default delivery of com.sap.km.cm.docs iview the authentication Scheme is set to basicauthentication - switching that to form based authenticationis not being supportedbywebdav clients).
ALso now Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM) has been made available with latest patch.
Also read through SAP NOTE 1084683 for further clarifications.
