My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their  keyboards changed.  Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their  keyboards changed.  Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate  products designed to run on seperate products.

  • Want to save files, documents, bookmarks, iTunes and iPhoto libraries, each in separate folders to external hard drive prior to full sweep and overwrite for the purpose of full sweep of Macbook?

    Never done this before and cannot find a manual for OS X 10.7.5 Lion. Basically I want to clean my 2009 Macbook6,1 as though I were selling it and start out fresh but before I attempt it I want to stash my contents (Files, Documents, Bookmarks, iTunes and iPhoto libraries to my external Hard Drive, all in separate folders to return them to Macbook after the full sweep and big overwrite. Can anyone help me?

    That may not be the best approach (see below).
    Format the drive for a Mac (see #1 in Using Disk Utility if you're not sure how).
    Create the folders you want on it.
    Open a second Finder window and drag what you want from one to the other.
    If you only copy the stuff listed, you'll lose your AddressBook, Mail, Calendars, preferences, and probably all sorts of other things.
    A better option might be to back up your entire system, either with Time Machine or one of the "cloning" apps.  Then you can restore selectively from TM, or copy selectively from the clone.

  • I've recently purchased a MacBook Air.  I had originally downloaded Photoshop to my old MacBook Pro and I dragged the app over to my new MacBook Air.  It won't open though, due to "error 6."  They suggest uninstalling it and reinstalling it,

    When I attempt to uninstall it, I get this message: The alias “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS5.1” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.

    Hi Blondon52,
    As it suggest this is just the alias not the actual file.
    It might be a case where the file was not properly copied i would advice you to download the file again and then try to install it and drag and drop the alias to trash.
    Thanks

  • My MacBook Air is running out of storage. Will an external hard drive work for me?

    Good afternoon, Apple support forums! I recently made a BootCamp partition, and now my MacBook Air is running out of storage (about 13 GB left), and I realize that I cannot expand the storage on my Macbook Air without some DIY technical work. I looked into alternatives and came onto external hard drives (I'm looking at the LaCie Porsche Design P'9223 USB 3.0 Mobile Hard Drive - 2 TB, but this question is for external hard drives in general). I was wondering, just in case, if I could use it not for backup (as I already have an Apple AirPort Time Capsule) but as added on storage for my Mac. Also, would I have to keep the external hard drive plugged into my Mac 24/7 to have access to the files stored on it? Thanks in advance for any help!!

    1. Yes, you can.
    2. You only need to have it plugged in when you're accessing data on it.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule as an storage drive? Can I create folders and save files on it as with a external hard drive?

    I want to know if I can use my Time Capsule as a storage hard drive instead of only use it to back up my Mac

    Ok, so while I edit my files in my Mac that will occupy some space on its hard drive that will be backed up in the TC. Does that mean that I will occupy two hard drives on the same stuff?
    Exactly.  That's kinda the definition of a backup.  When (not if) something awful happens, like your Mac being lost or stolen, or the HD failing or getting corrupted, or you accidentally change or delete some stuff, you have a backup you can recover.
    What will happen when my Mac's hard drive is completely full?
    Don't let it.  Delete things you don't need.  If you can't delete enough, as Neil says, get an external HD for the "overflow" that won't fit, then let Time Machine back up both your Mac and the external.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for more info.

  • I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched.

    I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched lately, but I can't figure out how to solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
    Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
    Thanks

  • Why do I have to select my network using Network Diagnostics every time I turn on my MacBook Pro and go to Safari?

    Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, before I can use any programs that access the internet (i.e. iTunes, iBank, etc), I have to go into Safari where it prompts me to perform network diagnostics.  (I use a wep encrypted wireless network.)
    During network diagnostics, I select my network and at some point it tells me that my network appears to be working properly and then defaults to the Apple.com webpage.  I then Quit network diagnostics and exit Safari and then I am fine to do whatever I need to in the other programs.
    This is quite annoying and I wish it would just remain on my network without me having to do this every time I turn it on.  Is there some thing I can do or some setting that I am missing that would allow me to avoid this?

    Is your network hidden? See:
    WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
    Secure your network
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    Change the name of the network and the password, then connect manually and when it asks to save in Keychain do so.
    If it's still giving problems and it'a not the router, it's the computer, then go through this list.

  • Can't get external hard disk icons to appear on iMac desk top

    Hi guys,
    I hope someone can help me. I have OS X Lion on my iMac. I noticed that a few days after installing it, my external  hard disk icons and  Macintosh HD icons  disappeared from the desktop. I tried going to Finder- Preferences- Show these items on desktop and checked the appropriate boxes but this only restored the Macintosh HD icon to the desktop. Checking the "External disks" box makes no difference. When I open Finder I can see the external hard disks in the sidebar so I don't think there is a problem with the disks. Can anyone advise me on how to restore the external hard disk icons to the desktop?
    Thanks a million

    I'm not sure why they're not showing but try doing a couple of troubleshooting steps. Restart the machine in the Restore Partition, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the Restore Partition. Then open Disk Utilities and Repair Disk Permisssions on your internal HD at least 2x, while you are in DU it wouldnt hurt to run Repair Disk, again 2x. Then restart the computer in Safe Mode to clear some caches and finally restart normally and check.

  • Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

    Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details? (In order to be able to use the older applications no longer supported in 10.9)

    If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
    To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

  • Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port.

    Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port...
    Someone told me just to remove the chip in clicking it to the trash can and voilá - it would be done. But as I did so, on the screen appeared a text which let me know, that that way had been the wrong one...
    I should have clicked Finder plus something.... which I do not now remember but which was then not found behind the Finder.
    So please would someone be so kind and tell me, where I can find explanations for the most simple functions. The manual I got does not include a clue.
    Thank you!

    First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
    Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
    Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
    Here is a detailed help document on the subject.

  • After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

    After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?  There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id.  How do I switch it to a newer id?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • Finding the position of the end of a line in a JTextPane

    I'm trying to make a JTextPane which expands horizontally if the text being typed in it reaches the right hand edge. To do this I need to know the position in the Document of the end of the current line.
    I've managed to write a method which expands the JTextPane vertically using getEndPosition() in AbstractDocument.
    There is an endLineAction in the DefaultEditorKit which moves the Caret to the end of the line but I don't want to move the Caret, just find the position of the end of the line. I did have a method before which moved the Caret to the end of the line, stored the position and moved it back but that wasn't suitable.
    I suspected the answer was to do with the View but I can't figure out how the View relates to the JTextPane or Document.
    Can anyone help?

    Well, personally I don't think its a good idea to keep changing the size of the text pane as text is being typed and I doubt the solution will be as easy as you think.
    As you type the text will automatically wrap so it will be a little late trying to change the width after the text has wrapped, which means you would need to increase the width "before" text is typed. But then you have another problem because you don't know how much to increase the width by since a single character could be typed or a string of text could be pasted into the text area (people always forget about pasting when doing stuff like this).
    Also if text is removed you would need to iterate through all the line to find the longest line and reset the width.
    Anyway the only way to know the width would be to play with the modelToView() method. If you want to find the end of the current line then you can use the Element.
    Check out my [Text Utilities|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=text-utilities] class which might give you some ideas on how to use the Element class and modelToView() method.
    which has example of using the above Class and method that might give you some ideas.

    Every time I turn on the Internet (3G or wifi) theirs an apple notification asking me to type my apple id password. And this hapenes frequently( every time I open an application that requires Internet like safari, app store, iTunes...)

    Try this out
    Drag the folder Macintosh_HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration to the trash and then restart the computer.
    Once the computer boots up, Click the blue apple and then select System Preferences and then select Network.
    From the Show pop-up menu, choose Network port Configuration' (it would default to Network Status), then drag Airport in the table below to the top position
    After that, from the Show pop-up menu, choose AirPort.'. Locate the pop-up menu next to "By default, join:" and choose 'A specific network'. Select your network and then a password (if required) and then click on the 'Apply now' button.
    If you are still not connnected to the internet select your network from the airport icon on the right side of the menu bar
    Reboot the machine to test whether this procedure fixed the issue
