Server Admin can't see hard drive with user's Sites folder

I have a G5 XServer with two hard drives running 10.4.10 co-located at an ISP. I had recently brought it home and did a clean install of the OS and put new accounts (mainly to host multiple web sites) on it that were different than before, and this time I installed the operating system on the second hard drive leaving the original in place.
Everything works fine EXCEPT that when using +Server Admin+ to set the Web Sites to point to the various home directories (click web, click settings, click Site, Click 'plus' to add a new site or 'pencil' to edit one, then click '...' to select the folder), +Server Admin+ *cannot see the new home directories* on the hard disk I am currently using. It can only see the old directories on the old hard drive.
(Note: I observed the same issue when trying to set the FTP root directory.)
How can I get +Server Admin+ to look at files on the other hard drive (the one I am booting from)?

Just type in the path to the directory you want to use. You don't have to select it via the File dialog.

That didn't work either.
It turns out that both hard disks were named the same (I don't know how I screwed that up), so I went in with Disk Utility and changed one of the names.

Installed MacMini server and can't see hard drive on wireless printer

Hi, all, I installed a MacMini 10.6 server on Tuesday and am having an issue communicating with my printer. We have a wireless office and have a Toshiba printer and scanner connected to a wireless bridge which is then connected to our Airport Extreme. The set up has been very efficient for our small group.
Before the server was installed and connected via CAT5 cable to the Airport we were able to scan using our printer and see the stored files on the printers built in hard drive. But since the server was installed, we can print, but we can't see the hard drive on the printer.
What do I need to do in order to see that hard drive again?
Thanks
Ron

If you want to try to replace it yourself, [iFixit has good repair guides|http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/MacBook-Air-Hard-Drive-Replacement/86 0/1].
As I take the parts out, I tape them to a piece of paper with clear packaging tape and write the step number (and screw color from guide) next to them. Making sure you've got the correct tiny screw in the right place is a bugger without doing that.

I have an external hard drive with a shared music folder, which I can access (from Home Sharing) and play music on my Windows computer. On my new Mac, I can see the drive in Home Sharing but not play any music. What's the solution?

I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers. On my new Mac, I can see the drive and the music in Home Sharing but the tracks will not play. All the other authorized computers in my home network show up in Home Sharing and I can play the content. What's the solution?

U410 ultrabook: Can I defrag hard drive with SSD cache?

Hi,
I would like to know if I can defrag my hard drive with 24G SSD cache. I heard that it would be bad to defrag the SSD part so I would like to defrag the regular hard drive portion only (1TB). I right clicked the drive but I see four drives and can't tell which one I should defrag. It looks like the first c drive is the one, but I am not sure. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks.

You are right that by default, drives are set to be defragged automatically. But you can also do it manually and when the date of the task is not yet due.
Re ssd, are there permanent files in that drive? By permanent, I mean data, programs, etc.. Not the temporary files used by runned programs and the system using the caching process.

I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Time Machine over network: can't see hard drive

I've connected an external firewire 800 drive to our server and then chosen it in Server Preference as a drive that users can backup to, however when I try to select it in the user's Time Machine prefs I can't see the drive. Any ideas?

Is no one else having this problem?

Share music stored on external hard drive with users of computer?

Is it possible to share music that has been stored on an external hard drive with the users of that computer? I have just moved and combined all music to an external hard drive and now I want to allow all the users to access that music. I'd also like to have it so that when one user adds more music, it is also added to the other users iTunes.

Close itunes, go into windows disk mgmt and set the drive letter back to F:
When you re-open itunes it should be back to normal.

Can I replace hard drive with Time Machine backup?

I couldn't phrase this right to see if some already asked. I have MacBook with a 250gb HDD and I have a new 500gb HDD. I bought a USB Hard Drive enclosure and have been backing up with Time Machine. So my question is, can I take out my 250gb HDD and put in my Time Machine Backed Up 500gb, and boot up like normal? Or are there some steps I need to do?

No, you cannot do what you've asked.
What you can do is this.
1) using your install DVDs or an install USB, install OSX on the external 500GB drive. When setup assistant starts, point it to your 250GB drive so all your settings and files get migrated over.
2) now you can swap drives and it should work. Have your install USB handy incase something goes wrong. Put the 250GB drive in your external enclosure so you can access it if needed for a reinstall.
good luck

New D20, Windows 7/Vista can't see hard drives - also 2nd CPU questions

I just got a new D20 and aded a few 1TB Samsung hard drives to the WD one that came with it. I can see the drives fine in both the Marvell BIOS RAID setup utility (even ran a Verify Disk on them with no errors) and from the ThinkStation BIOS and even from a Linux-based utility that I used to partition and format them with. But neither Windows 7 RC nor Vista x64 Ultimate can see any of the drives and when I try to load drivers fro the driver CD that came with it, they aren't recognized or loaded. Probably there is a simply BIOS setting I've screwed up but it has me stumped. Any clues?
Also the machine came with one dual-core E5502 CPU. If I want to add a 2nd CPU does it also have to be the same as the 1st or can I add a quad-core E5504 or even a higher speed quad-core as long as it is a LGA1366? Does it have to be a Xeon or would an i7 work?
Many thanks in advance!
ThinkStations: D10, D20, and S20

welcome to the forum!
sounds like that D20 arrived in one piece.
the latest marvell driver for vista 64 can be found here. i suggest trying that first to make sure this isn't a driver issue. also check that you have the intel chipset and matrix storage drivers installed. they can be found here.
check the BIOS and see if the AHCI mode is set to SATA RAID. i can't remember the exact path to this setting right now but can reboot and write it down if you get lost.
on the processor, the second one does have to match the first unless you replace the first completely and install two new chips. an i7 might work as a single processor in socket 0 (this is untested so i cannot confirm). however, you'll need two xeons if you want to run two physical processors.
i suggest reading the following links for reference:

Can't see hard drive on Reinstall

Was having some issues with my MBAir. Was all bogged down, taking 20 minutes to boot up and giving them the dreaded pinwheel. So I ran a reinstall of Snow Leopard opening that might clean it up. Took 5.5 hrs to do the initial writing and then when it rebooted and asked for me to select the disk location for the install there were none shown. Suggestions? I've tried restarting the OS Install disc and I still can't see my hard drive for the install. I opened Disk Utility and the only thing showing is my USB DVD drive with the install disk in it... kind of stuck.

Can't See Hard Drive

I am freelancing at a company that is using 10.3 and the computer is set-up in such a way that the hard drive does not appear on the desktop. How is that possible? Is there a way to make one's hard drive invisible? I can only see it and access the folders within and thru the sidebar of the window. I don't like this. Is there a way to make the hard drive appear on the desktop? Thanks.

"How is that possible?"
