Px6-300d-THZ4PI, drive replaced, now drive requires overwrite confirmation

I have a px6-300d thz4pi, with 6 drives in raid 5. 1 drive has failed. I replaced the drive, and it now says drive 1 requires overwrite confirmation. I go into drive management, click on the drive, and click on Yes to overwrite. The blue bottom blue light blinks for a while, and the Drive 1 requires overwrite confirmation message comes back. What needs to be done to allow the new drive to be used and RAID5 rebuilt?

Is the replacement drive approved to work with the px6?

MacBook Pro - Hard Drive replaced now external won't allow me to view any of my back ups from my previous hard drive that crashed folders have red circle with minus sign in them and says I don't have permission, how do I get around this?

My MacBook Pro's hard drive failed a little while back and the hard drive was replaced, however all my items on my external were linked to that hard drive apparently, now I can't get into my back up files for my business as I'm getting an error telling me I don't have permission to view the files, I can't figure out how to over ride this setting to get to my stuff for my business which is really NOT GOOD for my clients or the contracts I'm under, does anyone know how to get past this and get the external to work like it is supposed to?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.

Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

Music on hard drive, replaced hard drive and now library won't match up

I put all my cd's on a hard drive (9000 or so songs) and had a hard drive failure, so I moved all the songs to a new hard drive and now I can't use the Itunes library to connect with that hard drive, except one song at at a time.
Is there any way to get these two to communicate?
David

Is the rest of your music located in a different folder? You'd need to know where those files are in order to add them to iTunes. If you're not sure of their location, try a Spotlight search. Are you not able to locate the files to add them to iTunes, or are you selecting them but they are not appearing in the iTunes library?
I have all the actual music files located on a external hard drive, but the itunes file name(s) are located on the computer. The problem started when I got a new computer and switched all the stuff over, and then got a new hard drive because the old one was making noises. I copied one hard drive directly over to the other and now am trying to connect the two so they talk together.
The fix you sent me semed to work great until I noticed that I did not have any music after the letter "a" (namely 1/36 of the music). I ried it again with another copy I had and lost that too. Now, I am working with the copy I had on the other computer, which doesn't have all the data, but does have most of it, and I can survive adding the other stuff later somehow by re-copying the music and getting the data over again, but I do want to somehow get the other 35 letters worth, if possible.

MacBook Pro Hard drive replaced, now what?

Hi,
A couple of days ago we took our MacBook Pro to the Apple store to have it looked up. We had been getting the blinking question mark file folder. They told us the hard drive needed to be replaced. The lady said doing it ourselves was faster, easy, and cheaper. So we bought a new internal hard drive and put it in. We then talked to a man at Apple who gave us specific instructions on what to do from there. We opened up disk utility and started the partitioning. However, it froze midway and stayed there all night. The next morning I called Apple again. The lady told me to shut it down and start all over. So I shut it down and started internet recovery again. Then I tried to do the disk utility again. It didn't work. I was then told to erase the drive and try starting over, because there was something on it from the initial attempt at partitioning it. However, it is now frozen again and says that it is going to be another 4 hours, and the time continuously increases. What is going on? If I turn it off and try to start over what will happen? What should I do from here? Please help!! We need this computer for grad school classes that start tomorrow!!
Thank you SO much!

wbagnew,
which model MacBook Pro do you have?

Hard drive replacement, now all sorts of problems

A couple weeks ago my hard drive crashed. I confirmed at the Apple store that it was the hard drive, and they gave me instructions on how to put a new one in.
Since I've put the new one in I've had all sorts of problems.
1. My previously totally fine battery doesn't show up at all. Though the battery says it's fully charged, the laptop says that no battery is available.
2. DVDs don't play. The DVD player gets rolling, and then freezes.
3. Photobooth doesn't load "because the camera is in use by another application".
4. My external sound input/output can't be recognized or set up though the driver (also because the IOdirect is "in use").
5. The computer won't completely shut down sometimes and freezes on the blue screen just prior to complete shut down.
I've wiped the hard drive and started over to the same results.
Please, any help?

Have you fixed you problem yet?
1. Have you checked to make sure that the drive is plugged in properly and setting on the proper mounts that were on the old drive?
2. How did you go about putting the OS OSX on the newly installed drive? Ex. Did you install OSX and all you applications then then restored you personal data from a backup? Did you use Time Machine to restore OSX and all data to the new drive? Or did you use a previously cloned drive, along with a program such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Clone, to restore to the new drive?

There is 1 drive with existing data on your LenovoEMC px6-300d.

Hi,
on the display of my px6-300d there is an error: "There is 1 drive with existing data on your LenovoEMC px6-300d".
Firmware version is 4.0.8.23976.
When I logon to web page of the device and click on the error message, I can see Storage Pool SP1 with capacity of 10.84TB of which 10.84TB is available. Drive 1 is "shaded", drives 2-6 are "A"
However there are no volumes there...
In the event log I can see following events (logon events removed):

I have spoken to an admin who reported this issue today in the morning. He has told me that he had spotted the problem on 7:03 am when one of virtual machines with a drive on px6 failed. He was waiting and on 8:29 am he restarted the device and after restart he started storage verification. When it finished (7:33 pm) he again restarted the device. There are no new error events in the event log, however I cannot see any data on the device.
When I click on drive 1 in Drive Management, I get a message "This drive contains existing data that must be overwritten before it can be used. Are you sure you want to overwrite the existing data?"
Does it mean that before RAID rebuild px6 requires approval to delete the drive with recoverable error (as seen on6:46 am in event log) and rebuild RAID? Should I click YES? I hope I will not loose the data.
Best regards,
Marcel

Hello vinaykumaar
I recommend that you power down the unit and swap the affected hard disk to another drive bay to see if that prevents the unit from restarting.
Then try allowing the unit to overwrite the specific drive. On a px unit this would be done via the storage pool information overview under drive management. On a ix unit you would go to Drive Management>Settings, check the "add disks to storage system..." then click apply. This will overwrite the disk marked by the green stripes.
If the above options do not help I recommend that you contact Lenovo Support in your region for further assistance.

PX6-300D WD RE drives

So, I went out and I saw the supported drives for the PX family at https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26012
The list looks like it hasn't been updated in a while as WD has dropped the RE2, RE3, RE4 (generation numbers) and now just call them the RE with no numbers behind it.
I was wondering if the WD RE 3TB drives, WD3000FYYZ will work and is it supported?

The latest firmware (Firmware Version 4.0.8.23976 for px6-300d) improves support for adding used or pre-formatted HDDs that are supported by LifeLine. If the HDD is not accepted, first try Cleaning a hard disk for use with an ix or px network storage device. If that does not work then I would recommend upgrading your firmware to the latest version.

Help please

To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

Had my hard drive replaced and I've restored from TimeMachine backup. I have changed my username and now I can't access my old backups on my TimeMachine hard drive

I've recently had my hard drive replaced in the Apple Store.
I used time machine to backup and after I got my mac back with the new hard drive I restored all my files which are now on my computer and I can access it with no problems.
The problem is that I've changed my username (admin) and when I enter time machine, I can't access the backups of my old hard drive which is really frustrating.
A red negative sign appears on most folders. Also in macintosh HD/users there is a folder named with my old username and I get the same red negative sign in the folders.
Any idea what can be done about this?
If you need more info just ask.
Thanks in advance

Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

I just had my hard drive replaced and restored everything from a Time Machine external hard drive backup and now my "note" widgets won't load. Any ideas ?

I just had my hard drive replaced. I restored it using a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive. When I open Dashboard none of my "note" widgets will load. The other widgets open, such as weather, weather radar, calculater, dictionary, stock... Even the iPhoto Mini widget works, just not the notes ( Sticky Notes and K-Notes ). Any ideas on how to fix this ?

I did some research and found the solution to my problem. So I hope it's okay to answer my own question.
When you reinstall the OS, your Preferences go back to their default settings. Apparently Preferences is where this widget information is stored. This Preferences folder is located in the user Library folder which is hidden by default. You can access it using "one, or the other" of the following actions.
Action 1:      (1) In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder
                     (2) In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library
                     (3) Click Go
                                                      -- OR --
Action 2:     Hold down the option (alt) key when using the Go menu. The Library folder is listed just                            below the Home folder.
After opening the Preferences folder, the file that you want to locate for k-notes is named
widget-com.rakoth.lichlord.widget.k-notes.plist
After you locate it make note of the byte size of the file. Now, with the Preferences folder still open, open Time Machine and go back in time until you see a big jump in the file size. That will be your uncorrupted plist. Restore it and close Time Machine.
Then Restart your computer.
After following this procedure I brought up Dashboard and my blank k-notes were now refilled with the previous text and color that occupied them before I had to restore the OS.
This procedure also worked for Sticky notes, which in the Preference folder are named
widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist

I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

Thanks for your response.
I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
so what to do now?
P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
Please help

So I have just had my potentially duff 1Tb hard drive replaced by apple and uploaded my data from time machine only to discover that pages is now speaking to me in a different language. The keyboard has been selected as UK during setup. Any idea how I can get back to qwerty?

What exactly are you referring to? Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language? Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).
