Partition Question:  Can I Make One HD Intel & PPC Bootable?

Hello,
I bought an OWC FireWire external drive to use as a bootable repair drive. My plan was to partition it in half and then make the first partition bootable on an Intel and then make the second partition bootable on PPC Macs.
So, when I try to do this (via Disk Utility), I discover that I can't choose a partition scheme for each individual partition. Instead I have to choose one scheme for both partitions. GUID apparently boots Intel Macs and Apple Partition Map boots PPC Macs. Is there a way to do what I want to do, and if so, then how? Many thanks!

Some confusion here. "I kept all of the drives as one partition" doesn't make any sense. You have partitions on a drive - not the other way round.
•  Each partition of a drive is a separate volume with its own icon on the desktop.
•  Every drive has partitions, even if only one! Another way of saying that is to say that no partitions means one partition.
In Disk Utility if you select the drive, and not an indented volume beneath it, you will see the 'Partition' tab appear and in that tab you will see the "Options…" button which gives you the choice of partition scheme. That applies whether the drive has one partition (aka "no partitions"!) or multiple partitions.
=-=-=-=-
Your drives do not need to be re-zeroed. What you should do with all drives is occasionally (interpret that according to degree of carefulness /anxiety /paranoia)) run a 'surface scan' to check that no additional bad blocks have appeared, which is a warning to immediately get rid of that drive.

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4: - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet

    I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
    - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
    - Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
    - Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
    - I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

    Are you writing that when you select  a large number of images in the bridge  like a hundred thumbnails  when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed  for the numbers of thumbnails selected.  Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted  your machine resources.
    ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process.    Camera RAW DATA is not altered.  The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added.  Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR.    If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet.  ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
    If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
    Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.

  • How can we make one object as synchronizable?

    Hi!
    I am new to java.How can we make one object as synchronizable?
    Thanx

    Synchronize is used to make an object and/or a functional sequence thread safe. By itself it does not make something thread safe.
    So the point is to make something thread safe not just to synchronize it.
    You can either sychronize a method like so....
          public synchronized void doit()
    Or you synchronize on an object (where 'Object' below is solely as an example, any object can be used)...
          Object lockObject = new Object();
          public void doit()
             sychronized (lockObject)

  • In imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip

    in imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip
    canu u download video in HDV to imovie 06 from a    SONY HDR-Fx 7 video camera as one clip

    No. iMovie 09 (and 11) is designed to import movies from camcorders. Every time it detects a start/stop it will make a different clip. They will be in chronlogical order, rather than edited order.
    If you still have iMovie 06, you can load the tape there as one continuous clip. Then EXPORT USING QUICKTIME choosing HDV as your codec. This will produce an MOV file that iMovie 09 or 11 can read, and which will be in the edited order.

  • How can I make one computer server at Home for access of SQL Server 2012/2008

    Hi All,
    Sorry for this basic question but I am zero in networking. I will be very grateful if someone guides what should I do to make one of my home PC as server. Scenario is as follows:
    I want to give training to few students about SQL SERVER T-SQL.
    I have one Laptop using SQL Server 2012 having Windows 7 Pro(Laptop Master-want to make this server). I have other laptop running Windows 7 pro and got SQL SERVER 2008. My students have mix of laptops including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows
    8. All students have SQL SERVER 2008 installed and working.
    Q1: I actually want to make Laptop Master(explained in above paragraph) as server and want other laptops to access that master server in home network. I will install sample exercise database on server and students will be writing queries to access
    data.
    Q2: can I secure sample database from students who can copy sample database from server?
    Q3: can students run queries remotely sitting their home?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards
    A K
    Adnan

    Hi itsadnan,
    According to your description, if you want to make your Laptop as Server, and your student can log in your SQL Server 2012 instance, you need to ensure that your computer and student’s computers are the same domain, and you enable TCP/IP, name pipes protocol
    in SQL Server Configuration Manager, your SQL Server 2012 instance is allowed to connect remotely and your student install SQL Server Manager Studio 2012 as client tool in their computer, and you create the related login name for your students. For more information,
    see:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
    According to your requirement, in actual, since your students install SQL Server 2008 on their computer, you totally can ask your student to install the sample exercise database in their SQL Server. For example, there are many resource about sample database
    in Website, which is helpful for student to learn database technology, such as
    AdventureWorks databases for SQL Server 2008. From SQL Server Management Studio, they can attach an AdventureWorks database, then write queries to access data.
    Since you have SQL Server 2008 in your other laptop, you can create the sample exercise database, and student can install this database via backup and restore, then write queries to access data and send to you for checking if it is right.
    Note:  Due to backwards compatibility, The students could not restore SQL Server 2012 database in their SQL Server 2008 instance.

  • How can I make one slide that contains multiple slides?

    Hi, I want to make slideshow for presentation. And I want to know how can I make this slide.
    For example in this picture, have 1 main slide and 6 sub slides. I want to make slide like this, and all slides should be in one slide. And I want to zoom in to sub slide when I click and then zoom out when I click one more. And then second slide should be zoom in when I click and zoom out when I click again. And then slide 3 etc.
    I want to know how can I do this.

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. Duplicate the main or first slide numerous times - as many as you'll need for the show, which looks like 6 including the first "overview slide".
    2. You know have two choices - either use the Magic Move transition between the first slide and the next, which has the main box centre screen and enlarged proportionally.
    3. Or enlarge the slides so that the main point is central, but use hyperlinks to move between the slides. This also gives you the liberty of changing the order spontaneously should the situation demand. Using the main first slide, place an invisible box around each element and use a link to move to that slide which is enlarged. Then you have to decide if you will come back each time to slide 1 (the overview) by having the whole slide hyperlinked to slide 1, or the whole slide linked to the next slide. That way you don't have to go looking for the hyperlink area.
    The Magic Move effect will give your presentation a "Prezi" like effect, while the hyperlinked version I've described will just use gentle dissolves between each slide.
    I will sometimes use 3 because I want to encourage audience participation and let them choose where to go next... e.g., the various elements of a 747 wing assembly, or the interior of a large cruise ship, showing state rooms, dining, pool area, ballroom, etc.

  • How can I make one cell search multiple other cells for a string of text and return whether or not the string appeared in the cells searched?

    https://www.icloud.com/iw/#numbers/BAI31boMQXsGKc8NH22BlqWRzbs8PdgWBs-F/2014-15_ Curriculum_Planning_w_CCSS_(Web_Shared)
    My document is above, if anyone wants to help this crazy teacher invent a better lesson planner.
    Here's my predicament.  The state in which I teach requires teachers to keep up with which of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) their instruction is addressing and when the standards were addressed.  I got the bright idea to do this through a spreadsheet in Numbers because our school is getting iPads this year, so it'd be pretty sweet to be able to assemble all of my lesson plans in one massive spreadsheet.  On the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet, I've got a few weeks worth of lesson plans entered in.  I'm planning on going in and using the drop-down menu next to each lesson plan to add all the CCSS on a per-day basis.  This is simple enough, but here's where I run into a problem.
    I want the "AP Standards" sheet to concatenate, in cells D3 through G76, the dates on which a standard was covered.  What I need is some way for, say, Cell D3 to look at the table on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and concatenate the dates of every lesson which has the standard in column A (In this instance, RL.11-12.1).  At the end of the day, the functionality I need is that I can enter my lessons and CCSS on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and go to the other sheet and see a summary of which standards have been addressed, when, and how often.
    If that's as clear as mud, well, I teach literature, not technical writing, so my apologies.  I'm more at home with Jonathan Swift than spreadsheets.  I'll gladly help you help me if you'd let me know what you need to know.  Oh, and to illustrate my knowledge level (just enough to be dangerous), I've left you the formula of my best stab at making cell D3 behave as desired.  It's the gray box on the "AP Standards" sheet.  Yikes.

    Hi Arrdenet,
    Congratulations on the nested IFs. I haven't tested that formula, but it is impressive. It will be very difficult to debug if it doesn't work, and I think it would make Numbers very slow.
    Here is a different approach. After you enter all the CCSS, add another column with HLOOKUP.
    Edit:
    B2 (and Fill Down)
    A2 (and Fill Down)
    =IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,C2:E2,1,0),"")
    HLOOKUP looks for the value in A1 in all the CCSS columns.
    IFERROR is to stop the error triangles appearing and returns "" (NULL) instead.
    Then sort by column A.
    Not a complete answer, but it might get you started.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • NewBie Question: Can you make a website completely with Java?

    Greetings my new Fellow Java programmers. My name is Jason and I am a computer programmer and web developer. I am verse in the following:
    1. HTML/XHTML
    2. CSS
    3. Asp.net
    4. VB.Net
    5. SQL
    I want to expand my skills to include:
    1.JAVA
    2. Action Script
    3. Java Script
    4. Ajax
    I have always wanted to learn Java and now I think it is the right time. So my question is can you create a site complete with Java or have a majority of the site functions and look attributed to Java? Is it similar to creating a site with vb.net and asp.net which utilizes html as well? Please explain. I am eager to learn this language. Thank you.
    -RomDog
    ...ROOOOOF!

    I find it strange that you have to ask this. Of course the end result will be HTML/XHTML, that's what the browsers want. I would think that if you know the .NET side of web development, these concepts (client/server technologies) should already be clear to you.
    The short answer is yes it is possible. However if you want to learn Ajax/Javascript/Actionscript, I would learn those technologies before you learn Java web development as they are completely unrelated. You know that Javascript is not Java, right? You can implement javascript/Ajax in your .NET web applications already.
    Before you want to learn Java web development, learn Java. Seriously, learn basic Java first. It will be a great deal harder (and ultimately a lot more frustrating) to jump directly into the web development side of Java without knowing any of the basics. One of the biggest differences between .NET and Java platforms is that Microsoft basically holds your hand when it comes to making decision about which APIs to use and how to attack a problem; Java leaves you to the wolves to select from a gigantic amount of APIs and tools available that can each solve a problem in their very own way. Freedom is great, but it can be very daunting when you are just beginning.
    So before you even think about web development, I suggest you explore the java tutorial and see if you can get to grips with the language and the tool set.
    [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]
    When you are comfortable with the Java language and you are sure that Java web/enterprise development is still something for you, then come back and ask the question again.

  • Can only make one album in iphoto. Why?

    I make a photo album in iphoto. Give it a name and import photos into it. All works great.
    I create a second album, give it a new name and save it. I import photos into it and that works great too.
    Except now the first album I made is completely gone. So I make a new album, name it and save it, then import different photos into it. That works great.
    Now both the first photo albums I made are gone. What the **** is happening?  Can you only have one photo album period in ipad iphoto?
    That really *****!

    Not sure what the problem is. Maybe use the Photo app instead.

  • MPEG 1 (!) How can I make one?

    Hi Folks
    I'm still wrestling trying to help a client embed movies in a PowerPoint presentation. The client cannot upgrade their systems (they work in a large firm, their computers [windows XP] have software installed by their IT dept and only centrally approved software is available). So I need to make files compatible with QT 6.5. The ONLY files I've managed to get to work so far are QT compressed with H.261 and AVI. The problem with the QT file is that it is only viewable in an external window in QT player.(the AVI file is huge and ugly).
    Now someone today pointed out to me that MPEG1 files will play when embedded in PowerPoint slides on the client's computer.
    All fine and dandy, but I don't have the foggiest idea how I can make an MPEG1 file.
    I do have MPEG streamclip, but it only seems to be able to make MPEG4.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot

  • Hello how can i make one button work

    hello , please
    i would like to know if i have three buttons working but i need to make when i push one of them the others just don't work unless the first or the button i pressed finish its action
    thx

    Hi, redcrowdesign-
    Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment.  Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object.  If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");.  If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
    That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
    Hope that helps,
    -Elaine
