NMH405 Impressions after the first days - and a few beginners type questions
Hi All, After some research I took the plunge and acquired a new NMH405 (I really would have liked the non existing "NMH400" i.e. no drives). I removed the 500GB drive and added two new 1.5TB WD Green Caviar Drives and set it up as Raid-1 After a few error messages and waiting for a very long time while the drives resynched I manage to get it online as z-drive to my vista system. I played around with the built-in backup tool (I like it!). I tried the builtin player after having placed some of my iTunes albums on the media hub and decided that I did not really like that option to much. I then simply moved my itunes libraries to the MediaHub and used the iTunes application on Vista as a front end. That works very nice.
I have a few questions, probably showing my limited knowledge of network attached drives.
Q1. Are there any other way to power off the device than pressing the little bottom on the NMH405 (aka my NMH415!)? When powered off I assume the only other way to power it on is via the bottom again?
Q2. I have noticed the device is offline for ages after having either recycled Windows Vista or the hub itself. Why is that? And what can I do to bring it online in a orderly fashion? There must be a way to get that ugly red crossed NAS showing as green and online as a z-drive in "My Computer" a lot faster.
Q3. I reformatted the 500GB drive that the box came with, added it to Disk enclosure box and attached the USB to the front of the NMH405, after a while it said on the front panel that it had detected the drive and asker whether I wanted to import the content. I declined that (partly because it was empty!). Now how do I access this drive? I would like to (occasionally) use it to back up files from my Raid-1 setup (you newer know what could happen there...). How do I use this USB attached drive? Also i noticed it did not show up in "My Computer" - actually "Computer" in windows? Adding it directly to my windows system it is detected instantly?
Thanks for any pointers or answers to enhance my user experience. I am still learning here.
best regards
Solved!

Q1. Your correct, there's only one button at the front for powering on/off. There is though an option to reboot the device inside the web interface thru the configuration > system option.
Q2. It really depends on how fast your network can establish a connection, a mapped network drive is fine but I noticed that it slows down the bootup or login process when you turn on the PC. What I did was just create a shortcut on the desktop (location \\nmh410\media) which points to my mediahub and did not map the mediahub anymore to drive z.
Q3. If its a fresh 500gb drive with nothin on it yet, then you would need to create a partition on it first by connecting the external USB drive directly to the PC. Check out this article from Microsoft about partitioning. I think an external USB drive icon will not show up on the PC since the external USB drive is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port. To gain access to that external USB drive which is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port, I just create a shortcut to \\nmh410\media\device . For backup you can use the NTI backup software that came with your mediahub.
Cheers.

It connected the first day and I was able to upload some video; however, I pulled the USB out--there was a bad message--and I cannot get the mac to register that I plug it back in.
Have you downloaded everything that is on the camera? If so format the SD card on the camera (will erase everything on the card).
If you have not downloaded everything can you see stuff on the camera? If you have a card reader you could try putting the SD card in that and trying on the mini. If your mini has a SD card slot you could try that.
In any case format the card on the camera before taking more pics.
Next time be sure to eject the camera from the Mac properly and turn the camera off before disconnecting.
EDIT: You might also check the camera's USB Mode is set to PC. -
I bought my dad a new ipod nano and a jbl wireless speaker from the same apple store. Everything worked perfectly with the bluetooth connectivity the first day. Then my dad accidentally hit the "forget this device" button when he was trying to turn the bluetooth off. Now the nano either does not recognize the device or it will recognize the device but not connect. I would appreciate any advice.
Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
If so:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also see:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. -
HT203167 My iTunes Match does not work, it stops after the first step and won't do anything else!!!
Hello, I purchased iTunes Match for my new iPhone five and it is intended to move the music from my computer to my other computer, but it stopped working on my MacBook Pro, it stopped after the first step. So, my question is, can iTunes Match work if the iTunes in question has other accounts attached to it, of not, can I get a refund on a service that does not work?
I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

Bout a iPhone 4S 2 days haven't been near water took a video and realised yesterday that their was no sound. Took it on they came up with it was my fault the water had water damage and corrosion. I'm devastated that I've paid 250 for a phone that's not working properly what do I do too fix this
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I have set up my apple ID quite some time ago and I don't remember what I answered for my security questions. Can someone help me with how to change them so that I can make my purchase? Thanks
If you have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT5570 -

Hi,
OMG! How bizzarre, another quirk of the "Region Fortmats" setting.
*Settings > General > International > Region Format*
If I set mine to U.K. (where I happen to live), Monday is apparently the first day of the week on the calendar and I have no 12/24 hour clock option.
If set to U.S., Sunday is the first day and the 12/24 hour clock option is available.
I guess changing the Region is your answer.
How odd! Not to say irritating.

I just download and install itunes 10.5 and it worked good the first days but since yesterday it crashed up, and everytime i start it it crashes again and logged me out each time. it can´t acces my itunes account. I´m using snow leopard the last version. What can i do to solve this problem and and continue using my itunes normally?
Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!. -

Can I allow two attempts and after the first attempt have a new window open to a url?
I would like to allow the user two attempts to answer a question. However, after the first attempt, if they get it wrong, I would like a new window to open that takes them to a tutorial Web site we have, where they can find the answer. Then I would like them to be able to close that window and return to the question for the second attempt?
Is this possible?
Right now, I have designed a very clunky version of this. I have one question slide with one attempt and if they answer wrong, they go to the next slide, which has a button to the tutorial page. Then the same question slide is repeated, again with one attempt. In this same scenario, if the person got the question right the first time, they moved on to a new question slide. This works, but is bad for scoring and eliminates the possibility of using question pools and putting questions in random order.
Thanks,
Carrie100 feet would normally not be a problem......if the AirPorts have line-of-sight with each other......but if there are obstructions like walls, ceilings or furniture in the direct signal path between the AirPorts, little if any of the signal will even reach the extending AirPort.
Try locating the extending AirPort at about 50-60 feet away to see if can pick up a stronger signal to extend.
It would be much better if you connect the AirPorts using an Ethernet cable, as there is no signal loss in an Ethernet cable up to 300+ feet. -

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing. Is there any way to recover the data? Thanks for any help.
I may have found an answer here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please
Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode? If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little. However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode. Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.
What are the statistics on the battery, the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...things like battery Condition, Capacity, remaining charge, voltage, current. -
SQL select Statement -first day and last day of the month - 1 year from now
Hi,
I need to write a SQL to get the dates in between first day and last day of the month one year from now.
SELECT last_day(add_months(sysdate,12)) as lastday from dual
What could be the Query to get the first day of the month one year from now..
ie ..Sysdate - 3-DEC-2009
Result - 1-DEC-2010
thank youHi,
You can use TRUNC with 2 arguments to get the first DATE in a month, year, quarter, week, hour, minute, ISO year, ...
SELECT TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
, 12
, 'MONTH'
) AS first_of_month
FROM dual
;The DATE returned will be in the same month, year, quearter, ... as the first argument.
\We convered the last day of the month in [your previous question|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3942939#3942939].
At that time, I warded about using LAST_DAY as a cutoff point; TRUNC is a much better way.
For example, to find all appointment_dates in the current month next year:
SELECT *
FROM appointments
WHERE appointment_date >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 12), 'MONTH')
AND appointment_date < TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 13), 'MONTH')Note that
the first part of the WHERE clause calls for dates on or equal to the beginning of the 12th month in the future, but
the second part of the WHERE clause calls for dates before, not equal to , the beginning of the 13th month in the future.
