Need Help with Firewire 800 Raid setup

Hello everyone. I am still a newbie with OS X as to most people here but here is my problem. I bought 2 external FW 800 HDD enclosures and install 2 500GB HDD's in them.
I daisy chained them and they work just fine. I would like to setup a Raid 0 on these drives. How do I do it? I go into the disk utility, it states to drag the disks or volumes in, "Cannot Do" and to hot create, "Which is grayed out!"
Can anyone help please? I would like to get this up and running asap.
One more thing, do the drives need to be OSX Journaled or can they be FAT32?
All the help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Need help with firewire problem with white macbook to new MBP...

Hello...I purchased a new MBP 13.3 inch with retina display a week ago because my old white macbook from 2008 has a cracked screen, rendering it unusable. I would very much liek to get some files off of it and onto my new MBP or onto an external drive. I bought the firewire to thunderbolt apple adapter, but I then saw I need ANOTHER cord or adapter to go from the old macbook to the adapter. Is this doable? What is the best one to use? are they all the same and which one will fit the adapter and the right end fit my old Macbook? So confusing and it's been hard to try to find an answer online. I am assuming I can boot the old Macbvook into Target mode and transfer the data. Thanks for any help.

This is the other cable and adapter you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7990ZM/A/moshi-firewire-800-cable-with-firewi re-400-to-800-adapter?fnode=51

Help with firewire 800 external daisy chaining

hi
help please,really appreciate it /
editing with final cut pro
i am on a big job which keeps growing so far we have 4 lacie terrabyte hard drives all daisy chained and we are constantly adding another to transfer files,
i am now having reliability problems ,where the computer wont see them,some work others dont,
i go through array of disconnecting rearanging them ,off/on etc, eventually i get them working, but its very stressful
can anyone suggest the way i should do it or point me in the right direction,
should i get some firewire 800 hub ? or is there a limit to how many you can use?
(the boss says a server will be coming)
cheers
simon

Hi startchopin-
As DaddyPaycheck said, a hub is the best way to go. Not only are there reliability problems, as you're experiencing, daisy chaining hard drives also increases the chance of data recording/directing errors.
A good hub, (only three ports, seems to be the max) but reliable, is the Belkin, available from the Mac specialists at OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/BELKIN/F5U624APL/
You can find comparison pricing here:
http://shopper.cnet.com/hubs/belkin-hub-3-ports/4014-3335_9-30823689.html?tag=pd tl-list
Might I also suggest, that since you are running the drives hard, with lots of data transfer, etc., preventive maintenance with a solid drive utility, such as Disk Warrior, would help to decrease stress levels, and maintain drive and data integrity:

Need help urgently -- will this RAID setup work?!

At the office we have some old Powermac G4s. not sure of the operating system or anything. all of the graphics department uses brand new, dual processor, 2 GB RAM, powermac G5 beasts. i want to set up a powermac G4 with two 300 GB hard drives (mirrored), with a hardware raid controller. is that doable? i was going to get this card:
http://trevorcvitkovich.com/December16/IMG_7728.jpg
and just two 300 GB SATA drives. how hard is that? i don't want to use any software based RAID. could this work? i looked inside the G4, and the motherboard has these weird PCI slots that have 3 holes instead of 4 that the card in the picture above does.
how does that work?
let me know please, i'd like to get this done by the end of the week
Regards
~Lorenzo

Mystical, technically everything sounds good, however, without knowing the OS or exactly what you are saying about the PCI slots it is hard to say for sure. But everything sound good to go.

Nooblet needs help with Linksys WRT160Nv2 wired setup please

Hello,
I have set up my Linksys WRT160N and when I check the router status in the web based setup page, Status tab, there are numerical values for Internet IP address.
So, I believe the router is connecting to the internet via my netgear modem without any issues.
The problem I am encountering is that my browsers (I have tried Explorer and Firefox) are not accessing the internet.
I have attempted to access the internet with firewall off, but still no success.
Can someone give me some advice as to what settings within Windows XP or otherwise, that I need to alter to correct this issue.
Thank you in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help guys.
I seems to have fixed it. I uninstalled the Intel Pro Wireless software and rebooted.
Then I installed a driver 3 version old.
This did half the job, under Network connections when I 'configure' the network card, it is now showing a MAC address, before the uninstall and reboot, the MAC was all 0's using configure, but ipconfig/all was showing the right MAC address.
But, now the wireless was constantly acquiring an address, then connected, then went straight into acquiring an address again. then would not connect after a few attempts. Before the uninstall, it showed as connected, but I wasn't able to use the connection to access the router, internet etc.
Now, to fix the constant acquiring an address, I updated the driver to the latest driver along with the Intel Pro Wireless software and now here I am happily using my wireless connection without any hassles.
Again, thanks for the help.

Need help with an advanced MIDI Setup

I have used Logic since v5.5 as a tape machine but haven't dived much in to MIDI. I have recently added the following hardware:
1) Novation Zero SLMkll control surface; hooked up via USB and seems to be functiong as it should.
2) M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 hooked up via USB; it i seems controlling virtual instruments as it should as well as the plug-ins I have assigned.
3) My Roland Juno Di synthesizer is giving me issues. What I play on it triggers its internal sounds as well as the virtual instruments in Logic. What I play on the Keystation also triggers the sounds in the Juno.
I have tried assigning different MIDI channels to the Juno and Keystation but still have the same results. I have set the Juno and Keystation as described in their manuals to no avail. The Apple Audio/MIDI Setup Utility will not let me change MIDI channels on any of it.
How do I get these things to work independently of eachother?
Any help would be appreciated!
PS; for my audio I am using an Apogee Ensemble and Duet.

>is there a way to rest it so i can type in my new password?
Your username and password are stored in your keychain. You can remove the key from the keychain and the next time you connect you'll be asked to authenticate again.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, find the relevant key (sorted by server name) and delete it.
>i cant place any files ont the server. it says that it is read only. how can i change it to read and write?
If you're usin the Finder as your FTP client, you can't. The Finder only supports read-only FTP. To upload files to a FTP server you need to use some other client.

Need help with Tiger & XP network setup

Hi all!
Back in the days of OS 7.5, I managed to stick my old faithful Mac onto my family's otherwise all-PC network. All I really needed was internet access - I didn't try to fileshare.
Now that I have Tiger, though, I'm totally lost as to how to set up the network. All the help I can find seems to say "ask your network administrator." The problem is, that's me! I'm hoping someone can help me set up the router and the Tiger computer as well.
Could this be a compatibility issue between OS 10.4 and the router? The router box said "minimum requirements" for Mac are "10.3, 10.2, or 10.1."
I have a D-link DI-624 wireless router. Right now I have a desktop PC wired in with cat-5 cable, and also a laptop PC that connects wirelessly. No problem with those computers. But I cannot get my Mac to see the router, or vice versa.
I've tried setting the router to "allow DHCP server to assign same IP address to specific MAC address." (I found my Mac's Mac address just fine and double-checked it was correct.) After setting that in the router, I hooked up the Mac via cat-5 and edited Network Prefs. First I tried "Configure using DHCP with manual address," and entered the IP address I had told the router to set automatically for the Mac.
(Router address is 192.168.0.1 and I told it to assign 192.168.0.4 to the Mac.)
Safari told me I wasn't connected to the Internet, so using trial and error I changed Network Prefs to "Configure IPv4 using DHCP." No luck there either, even when I tried the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.
Any advice as to whether or not I should be telling the router to auto-assign an IP address to the Mac? I took off that setting completely, and set Network Prefs to "using DHCP," but still couldn't connect to the internet.
Would it be worth re-installing my older copy of OS 10.1 to see if that works with the router, since that is actually listed on the box?
I thank you for any suggestions you have to offer! I really don't know what to try next.

I'm using the Mac wired - it does not have wireless capability, and as it is sitting right next to the router I just want to hook it up with Ethernet cable. The wireless function is just for the PCs I have downstairs.
I am not sure what non-broadcast SSID means, but I think that has to do with the wireless portion of the network, right? I do have a SSID name set up, and WEP encryption so that only the PCs I own can connect to the wireless network, not anyone else's computers. But on the wired PC I have connected directly to the router, I do not have to input any of the security settings. I've even set the router to recognize the MAC addresses of all my computers, including the Mac.
What brand and model of router are you using successfully with Macs & PCs? The store I bought my router from is willing to give me a full refund if I can't get it to work - perhaps I would have better luck with the type of router you're using.

Need help with hosted credit card setup?

I am trying to setup Sagepay to connect to the BC website to take hosted credit card payments and have done the following steps, but what am I missing? I've done everything I can see to add/change from BC support site, but surely there must be something else to connect the online shop purchase form to the Sage checkout process to take payments?
I did an online chat with BC support on Friday and they kept going through the checkout using 'COD' and said it worked fine, which of course it did as no payment is taken using COD.
However, when you choose credit card, it just fails, so there must be something missing. It has been open as a support call since Friday with no response from BC, can anyone help me please, there is obviously something I am missing or not doing?
I have set up the IP address and subnet mask as required direct with Sage pay online.
I have set the payment gateway page in BC to Sage Pay and entered the vendor name as requested.
I have customised the checkout 'online shop purchase form' to include choose credit card.
Thanks

Hi Sidney,
Just an update for you.
I have heard back from Sage Pay support and it was an issue server side with them as you had initially thought. They said my customer had not made their account live and that they had corrected a few other settings their side, but didn't specify what exactly??
However, Sage support have sorted that out now and I tried a transaction BC end and Sage support have confirmed it has all gone through at their end too.
Just as a suggestion, the information is not that straight forward to find if you haven't set one up before. Most of what I found was through many different support articles and watching your online videos. I think that there should be one article that takes you through every stage of gateway setup and the payment form. It would have been a big help for me as it was my first BC Shop.
Thanks for all your help on the processing error and the form issue, it's much appreciated! I wouldn't have got to this stage without your help. So, I am glad it's up and running ok.
Thanks again!
lizre

Any iPad model should work with that use. You cannot directly plug the card into the iPad, you will need to purchase the camera connection kit.
The only requirement that presents itself based on the given information is to purchase the model with the most storage capacity your budget can handle. I believe Shutterfly has an app in the app store, but not 100% about that.

Need Help with Firewire drive

I got a Seagate HDD in a Vantec Firewire enclosure. Every so often when my IMAC awake from sleep, the External Drive look like still in sleep mode. It is not responding at all. I cannot hear the HDD spinning.
The only way I can get the drive to work again is by turning it off, then unplug and plug the firewire cable back. If I just turn the power on and off on the external enclosure, the HDD wont spin at all.
I know the external enclosure and the HDD work fine because I tested it on My PC and it work fine without any issue.
Is there a way to turn off the power management for the IMAC firewire port or any solution to resolve the drive stop responding after wake up from sleep? This could happen 2-3 times a week.

Not going to hi-jack this thread with my issue but I'm experiencing some very odd (and not too far off) behavior like this with a Seagate drive (However it's a FreeAgent Desk | Mac).
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Something must be going on. I'll edit this post with a link to my post once I'm through searching (Came across yours, wanted to see if I could find an existing Seagate / Firewire issue.

Need Help with Weblogic Portal WSRP setup on IE10 & above

Hello,
My client hosts weblogic Portal server and consumes portlets built in .Net. These work fine in all browsers except for IE10 and above.
In IE10 and above, none of the click events seem to work. This does not generate any error in the browser or in the application on my end.
I have setup Oracle Weblogic Portal 10gR3 locally on my Windows 7 box and I have added my application running on local machine as producer, so I am able to add break points and step through the code.
I confirmed that every click event triggers a response but the view in the portal does not change.
When I try to load the portlet directly in browser, every thing works fine.
Only different thing I did different to handle multiple instances of same portlets is to add namespaces to all function names

Need help with Workflow notification mailer setup

Hi all,
I have the following requirement from my client:
"IT has a project request from the Accounting Department to automate payments for Canadian vendors. One of the things that will need to happen on this project is setting up the Workflow Notification Mailer in AP so emails can be sent to vendors notifying them of payment. We only want to support Canadian vendors – payment processing for US vendors will continue to be handled as it is today."
Please let me know how this can be done as I have no knowledge of setting up workflow notification mailer for a particular item.
Thanks.

Lot more information in Oracle Applications System Admin guide. To process messages from only a given itemtype you will use Correlation ID parameter of the mailer. But there are lot of other things that you should consider for such a set up. You would be having a build up of messages in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue that you may want to manually take care of cleaning up.

Need Help with 1st time Wireless setup

I installed my first router today (WRT54GS v.6) and everything went smoothly. But then I encountered a (small?) problem when trying to add my laptop to my network. When my laptop establishes a connection with my router, I receive the following message:
Windows - System Error
A duplicate name exists on the network.
Does anyone know why this is happening and also know how to fix this problem and stop the message from appearing?
Thanks in advanced.
BTW, even though the message appears, I am still able to connect to the internet with my laptop.

You probably have 2 or more computers using the same computer name, such as "MyComputer".
Right click on "My Computer", and click on "Properties".
Click on the "Computer Name" tab.
Here you will see the computer name.
Do this on all your computers.
To change the computer name, click the "Change" button.
While you are here, make sure all computers are set to the same unique "Workgroup".

Need help with mysql-connector-j setup!

I have downloaded and installed Tomcat 5.5 and MySQL Server 5.0 and have both up and running. I then downloaded the MySQL-Connector-J and the folder is located at:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12
My JSP code looks like this:

<%@ page import="java.net.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

     try{
     Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
     catch (Exception E) {
     out.println("Unable to load driver. " + E);
%>And I am getting the folowing error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverNow, before anyone tells me to go read other posts, I have already done this and I have tried changing my classpath with no luck. I have tried these locations as my classpath:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
Neither of which seem to work. Can anyone figure out what's happening here?

Ok, I copied it to the <tomcat dir>/common/lib, but I copied the entire folder (which I'm assuming is necessary), with no luck. So, now the location is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
Any other suggestions?

Need help with airport base station setup

I have a classroom with a dozen G5 Mac Pros running Tiger and we want to allow them to use a couple of A3 photo-quality inkjet printers and a couple of flatbed scanners.
I see that the airport base station extreme only has one usb port.
Is it possible to use one airport extreme base station to connect all of these peripherals, add airport cards to each Mac Pro, and be able to use any of the printers or scanners from any of the Macs?
What other equipment is necessary?
Should we look to buy any specific printers or scanners that will be more compatible?
Is there some other approach that will work better?
Thanks for any advice.

one usb port but user can connect a multi port usb power hub for multiple devices. I run three Lacie quadras connected to a seven port Belkin hub to the Extreme N router.
