RAID wont work.. meaning i cant drag disks to make a raid

Hey.. is there something i dont know about? I just put 2 400gb drives in bay #3 and bay #4, and went to disk utility.. they show up, but when i click raid, i cant drag them together?

Did you partition and format them?
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Click on the Erase button.
Repeat above for second drive.
Note that if you have already installed OS X on one of the drives you cannot create a RAID. The RAID must be created when both drives are empty.

  • I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
    NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)
    The above is from:

    please help me out . i have a new mac air . when i conect my cable to usb socket wont work . it wont charge my i phone either . whats wrong

    I'm sure you've done everything like rebooting or testing other usb devices...have you tried to create a new user account and see if you get anything that way?, I would imagine you'd have to return the machine for an exchange at the Apple store.

  • Text Wont Show And I cant drag and drop

    ok well when I insert text it doesnt show but It shows what i written on the side. I have contact support their answer was they can't help me because I am trial verison. I am simply not going to buy a program if the trial verison is not working its that simple. Also When I try to drag and drop a picture a little circle apears with the line through it. I do have admin rights.

    Usually when you can not see text is is one of the following.
    1)Color of the text is the same color as the background
    2)there is a layer over top of the text blocking the text
    3)The opacity of the text layer is almost transparent (the opacity is less than 100%)
    4)A blend mode is applied to the text layer
    5)A layer style is applied to the text layer that either does 1, 2, or 4
    As far as draging and dropping, just drag the file from your respective file viewer and drop it on the background of photoshop (it will open the file assuming it is a file that photoshop can read)
    So verify that the file can be viewed in another app to make sure the file is not corrupt
    Make sure the file extention is one that photoshop supports. (in photoshop go to the menu and select File>Open, then find the text that says file type and click on the box next to it. That will drop down a list of supported file types. If it is not listed, it will not open)
    That being said there are time when it should work and don't, so if anything here does not work, post back and someone can help.
    By the way, it best to post what version of photoshop you have, what operating system you have and a screen grab of photoshop so we can see what you see. For future reference...

  • Version 4.0 wont work and I cant uninstall it

    How can I uninstall 4.0 andf get 3.6 back. I'm running windows XP

    Go to the Control Panel and uninstall Firefox. Then go to the Temp folder where Firefox .exe files were downloaded to. Delete Firefox 4 file and double-click on the latest of the other .exe files that you should still have there. Also, look in your Recycle Bin. One of your old files might still be there.
    I try to always download files from the Mozilla page. That way, I always have backup install files.

  • HT4623 I plugged my iphone into my computer and it said it cannot connect to itunes because it needed the 10.6.3. i went to the itunes website and tried to download it but it wont work and still says it will not connect to my iphone.

    A message pops up on my computer telling me that I cannot connect my iphone because itunes needs to be updated and i have tried everything i can think of to update it but it still wont work

    What version of Itunes do you have?  Can you be a little more clear on what - Still wont work means? What happens when you connect the phone? What doesnt happen etc...
    Try:
    1) Unplug phone from computer. 
    2) update to itunes 10.7
    3) reconnect phone to computer

    Hi Bowlover526.  I had a similar problem and was able to solve the issue by changing the Date & Time setting to set automatically.
    From the Home screen, choose Settings→General→Date & Time.
    Turn the Set Automatically option to On
    Then try to log in to iMessage or Facetime. Hopefully, this will solve your issue.  Best of luck!!

  • Drag and drop feature on the project panel doesnt work. Cant adjust scale or any numer properties by sliding mouse. (click drag wont work at all nowhere)

    This issue just happened out of the blue. The last thing I did was create a new comp and import an Illustrator file.  Working on CC2014. Its like the mouse's left click wont be working at all... but that's not the case.  Cant even drag the comps in the composition, or move the layers around....
    Now the issue affects everything I do in After Effects, even on a new comp with just a plain solid
    Deleted cache,
    reseted workspaces,
    open/close after effects
    restarted computer
    newcomp with just a solid and nothing.
    plugged unplugged wireless mouse
    changed to wired mouse
    the issue is still there
    Curiously, after writing this post , publishing, and going back to after effects, the mouse will work, but for a couple of clicks or so then wont work again. This only happens on After Effects

    You're Right
    Its an Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4   with an i7 k2600 clocked to 4.2ghz   w 16gbRam at 1333mhz
    Dual GPU , gtx 760 and gtx 780ti
    Running Windows 7 ultimate.
    The keyboard is a Genius G110  plus a wireless mouse Genius also.
    Adobe guys tried resetting cache (different than deleting) and user preferences, creating new user, disabling both video cards . The issue was still there.
    BTW!, After I switched windows in Win7 environment ( from after effects to the browser)  the mouse drag worked again. I could move objects in comp window, scale; move sliders on time line and drag projects to folders in project window... everything fine until i pressed ANY key, say, shift key or ctrl key.
    Probably we will never have the answer for this, since i had to format the C drive  (i have work to do). Currently i'm installing CC again. So if problem persists, I'll ditch the computer through the window.

    Hi Doomtrooper,
    When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
    Please be a little more specific

    If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.  It might help.

  • Recovering data from RAID 0 working disks on a laptop.

    As a former Windows user, I setup a two disks RAID 0 years ago where I put stuff I don't remember. Now I sold my old PC, the RAID controller card broke down, but I retained my working disks because I'd like to recover data stored in there.
    Is there any way you guys know to recover data files from those 2 disks? I thought of treating them as external drives (I've got a MBP, so this is the only one expansion option), make images of them, mounting them and then copy the data in my MBP.
    Thanks!

    I would say the Windows PC would be your best bet but the odds of recovering anything at all is still extreme poor even there.
    The way RAID 0 works is a bit like dealing cards. When you start a new hand in a card game the dealer deal a card to each player in turn. In the case of RAID 0 the computer is the dealer and the disks are the players.
    So what you are attempting to do is undeal the hand. Now while that may sound trival, it is in fact not. Hence on of the reason that everyone says RAID Arrays should always be backed up.
