Patriot Valkyrie 2-Bay drive to Macbook

I recently purchased a Patriot Valkyrie 2 bay NAS drive which says it's compatible with Mac. It's connected to a d-link switch and a WRT300N Linksys router.
On the network the Mac can see the NAS drive, however, it has trouble connecting to it. I am curious if this is a problem with the NAS drive or the switch or both! The NAS is intended for storage and I have formatted a one drive so far ext3.
Both a windows and linux machine could connect to the drive. But if I transfer files from one of those machines to the NAS drive the connection drops and fails. The result occurs via wifi and hard wire. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks!

Have you had trouble with your router or switch (you have both?) prior to this?
10.6.3 included one of those famous Apple "improved support and compatibility" for Safari and Linksys, not sure why.
OS X Networking forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1343
The fact it has trouble with other operating system and platforms would tell me you have a hardware compatibility problem.
Did you check reviews online sites like Amazon, Newegg and others? 10.6 and 10.6.3 may not have been tested. For more, you could look at a linux server and NAS, or HP MediaServer NAS using WHS even. Or Netgear equipment (what I use end to end).
The most you can hope for is probably firmware update for Linksys and DLink.

I opened my Mac to upgrade it and broke something near the optical bay drive. I don't have apple care, can I bring it to geek squad? Or will Apple fix it? How much?

HELP! I broke something in my MacBook Pro by opening it up and trying to upgrade my optical bay drive to an SSD and my RAM and broke a cable near the optical bay drive. I bought it from best buy and my step dad was too stubborn when we first purchased it to buy best buy care or the apple care. Will Apple fix it? Will geek squad fix it? How much would it cost? Also my battery is starting to give out before this. I have taken the cable out that connects the battery to the motherboard and that worked, but how much would that cost to? I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 13"

Even had stubborn stepdad bought AppleCare, it would not have covered damages caused by your mucking about inside the unit.
As we are all end-users like you and not professional computer repair peple, we can't estimate prices, especially if we don't know what broke.

Fusion Drive on Macbook Pro & Hibernation problem

Hi,
Two weeks ago I installed second SDD in my Optibay (Macbook Pro mid2010 13"). Now I have HDD (Seagate Momentus XT 750GB) + SSD (Kingston V300 60GB) in configuration like that:
1) HDD in normal bay (because of SMS)
2) SDD in optibay
I configured this drives to work as Fusion Drive (it's really fast now!), but the main problem is hibernation (known as deep sleep also).
When macbook goes sleep whole memory are written to disk (in my case - fusion drive), and when the battery die it should be resumed from disk. But I found, that people using OS X from optibay drive can't use hibernation. In this case the main HD is expanded on both drives (SDD + HDD), so this is a problem - memory image should be readed also from optibay/normal bay drives.
Is there any workaround or any chance to get hibernation on fusion drive working in Macbook?
The main reason I'm looking for solution is low battery problem - I can't sleep safely my computer on 2-3% of battery and I don't want to turn it off...
Best regards,
Dawid

I have the same physical setup (though it's a MacBook 5,1, the first unibody 13"), but haven't tried Fusioning-it. (I have been holding off for 10.8.3 in the hope that it will have a properly fusion-aware Disk Utility when I get into trouble; my understanding is that all official Fusion Drive systems have a custom build of 10.8.2 with changes in Disk Utility and, I assume, diskutil.)
As far as I know, and I'd love to be proved wrong, hibernation just can't work if the SSD is in the optibay (as mine is as well). It doesn't get power immediately on wake so it just doesn't work. The only thing you can do is disable hibernation support so that the system doesn't even try (saving you the hibernation-image space on the SSD); set OS X to restore your windows when you log back in; and then shut down when you're nearing zero battery. Alas.
If this can't be made to work when the SSD is the boot volume alone, I can't imagine there's a way to make it work when it's in fusion drive.

How to replace hard drive in macbook pro?

How to replace hard drive in macbook pro?

Hi S,
If you have the newer unibody style, it's very easy. If it's one of the earlier models, it's considerably more difficult. Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware and find your Model Identifier. Then go to ifixit.com, or powerbookmedic.com or macsales.com or youtube or others and there are illustrated, detailed directions. Good luck to you and post back if you have further questions.

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro

What is the best external hard drive with MacBook Pro?

I agree with Allan, and that link is also called OWC, their hard drives are great. Have three of their Mercury Pro Elite 2 TB quad interface drives. They will connect eSATA, Firewire 800 & 400, USB2, so broad reange of options. Drives seem to come Mac HFS formatted, but I always reformat and partition the drives. Service and quarantees are top notch.
They offer a wide range of drives/drive systems so like Allan said, spend some time seeing what the have.

How to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air

I have MacBook Air and also Apple Supper drive for the same. can u help me to find dvd/cd burrning and copy software. and also guide me "how to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air"

First to create a video DVD you need to use DVD authoring software like iDVD. You can purchase it from the online Apple Store while supplies last.
For creating a disk image use Disk Utility.
To burn items to a CD or data DVD just insert the disc in the optical drive and drag those items onto the disc icon on the Desktop. Then drag the disc icon to the Trash icon in the Dock which changes to a Burn icon.

*Internal Bay Drive or External Lacie?

Hi All
Need some advice, which one to get...
Buying a macPro and was wondering about the pro's and cons of an extra bay drive. If i get an extra bay drive I cannot take just my drive and work else where unless they have a macPro. I just need advise should I get an extra bay for the macPro or get an external Lacie. I will be using the mac for editing media in FCP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Why not both? You are going to want to use your drive bays, and you are going to want external drives for backup and storage and off-line. Only thing I question is whether to go with LaCie.
Also, I prefer external SATA whenever possible. You can add a dual bay SATA case and PCI bracket for two unused SATA ports (hidden away). Pick up NewerTech kit $24.
Or there are FW/SATA cases that use SATA drives.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.
