Should i use "HDD protection utility" in connection with SSD drive?

I've replaced HDD with SSD and reinstalled my Windows. Accidentally I've installed "HDD protection utility"? Is it absolutely useless in system with SSD? Should I uninstall this utility?
Thank you.

Since one month I use SSD with my Satellite Notebook. I have installed original recovery image that includes HDD protection utility. I can start it but it is inactive.
Strange thing is that with HDD it was inactive too. To be honest I dont care about that. It is preinstalled but I have disabled it from automatic start-up.
In my opinion you can remove it from the system.

Portege M800-107: Power Management & HDD Protection Utility questions!

Hi all,
I own a Toshiba Portege M800-107, I have recently installed windows 7 (ultimate edition), which enhanced my laptop capabilities. The only problems I face are:
1) The Power Management utility, where I have install the required drivers from the official page of Toshiba, the problem is that the Value Added package is installed without the power management. For now I over come the problem by using the power options offered by Windows 7.
2) The most important problem is the HDD Protection Utility which every time I try to install the driver from the official site, it stops the installation with the reason that this "hardware is not supported by this computer"
Apart those problems the laptop is working perfectly and faster.
If any one could assist me with my problems I would be very appreciated.

There is no special Power Saver tool for Win 7. The Value added package provides some additional options which you can find in Win 7/Vista power management.

The HDD Protection Utility using the acceleration sensor built in the computer.
The point is that there are different M800 on the market and possibly your M800 does not support the acceleration sensor. This could be the reason why you cannot install this tool.

How to use both wired and wireless connection with static addresses

Now that I have setup my home network with static addresses (router, mini1, mini2 and PC) in the way I want, (big thanks to BDAqua http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1271635&tstart=0) I would like to understand some more advanced network concepts.
I would like to change the network so that I use both the wireless connection and the built-in ethernet connection at the same time in my Mac mini1. I would like to connect my PC to my Mac mini by using the wired ethernet connection so that I reach the Internet from my PC as well. I would also like to be in control of all the addresses therefore I want to assign the addresses manually.
The question: What addresses should I use between mini1 and PC? Should I use the same wireless address space as I already use between the wireless router and the other computers (router: 192.168.1.1, mini1: 192.168.1.101, mini2: 192.168.1.103) or should I use something totally different like 10.X.X.X? What should I put in ethernet connection "Router"-field, the same as in Airport (192.168.1.1)? What about DNS, same as in Airport?

If I understand this correctly, you wish your Mini to perform Internet Sharing for your PC, correct!?
If so you'll pretty much have to let the Mini handle DHCP & NAT on the Ethernet port. You also want to be sure Airport is dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, that's what position the Mini will use 1st for Internet itself.
On the Mini turn on both Web Sharing & Internet Sharing. The PC once connected will have the Mini's Ethernet IP as it's Gateway addy.

Yoga2 Pro - how to use tablet as a projector connected with TV decoder via hdmi cable?

Hi, My TV is broken and I would like to use my tablet as projector connected via HDMI cable from TV decoder to my tablet. What should I do? How to configure and which apllication I should use?

You will need to choose the correct (Input) on the TV for the MacBook.....say your cable box is set to HDMI !.....and your MacBook is on HDMI 2.....you will need to select HDMI 2 from the TV's menu for the signal from the MacBook to show on the TV screen.......the selection choices are examples as I do not know exactly how you have things connected......

I have noticed that when using Tigers Dosk utility to ERASE a flash drive I have a choice of FAT but not FAT32. It seems that flash drives formatted as FAT do not work properly when trying to copy files from a Windows machine. Why?

I have noticed that when using Tigers disk utility to format an external USB flash drive I only have the choice of FAT ( when formatting for use on a Windows machine ) and not FAT32. I have found that USB FLASH drives formatted as FAT do not always work on Windows machines. Why? How can I use Tiger to format for FAT32?

I think it depends on the size of the Flash Drive as to whether it uses FAT16 or FAT32.
Can you format it FAT32 on the PC?
Other options would be NTFS or Mac OS Extended...

Should I use cache_version if we rename jars with each release?

We started renaming our jars with each release to avoid caching problems on the browser side which we were having. Before, we were using the cache_version to handle caching. This shouldnt be needed anymore since we will only have one release per jar name. But, I realized that without cache_archive the plugin will always check the server for newer versions at applet load time which would slow it down a little. Should I use cache_archive even though we will never have more than one version of each jar?
Any opinions?
Thanks
Aaron

Hi Stevencallan,
Sorry for reply late, forum seems to be unavailable recently. We install OGG on principal database, which has a mirror database.
We do no use any MSSSQL replication, so it's why I am asking about the MANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT.
I know OGG can manage truncation point if we do not use MSSQL replication, otherwise OGG should use
NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT option to let MSSQL manage it. However, it currently
confuse us by that why OGG still warns us even if we do not use any replications(MSSQL or third-party)?
Thanks for your reply in advance.

Using Apple "Disk Utility" to partition a disk drive

I have seen some incorrect info on the forums about partitioning disks.
You CAN do this with Disk Utility.
To do this will erase the new partitions you create, so BE CAREFUL.
To partition a disk, start Disk Utility and click on the DRIVE (not Volume) you want to partition.
The DRIVEs are the icons all the way on the left side of the Disk/Volume window area.
If you click on a Drive, the PARTITION tab will appear. Click on it and it's pretty self-explanatory.
Good luck.

It looks like the mountable image option only applies to NTFS partitions. The preferences interface does not show a choice for FAT32.

Disk Utility 13 problem with USB drives

There appears to be a problem with Disk Utility 13 (part of OS X 10.9). At least, so far as I can tell, everything traces back to this app, or possibly OS X 10.9 itself.
I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to OS X 10.9 (reformatted hard drive, installed system from scratch, updated with all the latest Apple updates). I pre-checked all my third party software to make sure it was 10.9 compatible before installing it after the system cleanup, so everything I’m running supposedly has been approved as safe for 10.9. But I’m seeing a problem formatting USB drives that I do not encounter when running under 10.8.
I have a Seagate STAA500101 (“FreeAgent GoFlex”) drive connected via Seagate’s USB3 adapter that I’ve used for some time as a Time Machine backup. Post-overhaul, I decided to erase the backup and start fresh. When I attempt to format it (single GUID partition) with Disk Utility, I see the following messages go by:
Formatting disk1s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 1
Could not mount disk1s2 with name (null) after erase
Then there’s a pause, and the format appears to conclude fine. But if I run a “Verify Disk” immediately, I get this:
Verifying partition map for “Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Media”
Checking prerequisites
Checking the partition list
Checking for an EFI system partition
Checking the EFI system partition’s size
Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
Volume on disk1s2 has 0 bytes of trailing loader space and it needs 134217728 bytes
Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
Error: Partition map needs repair because a data partition needs loader space.
As the drive has just been formatted, that seemed odd. I took it over to another Mac still running 10.8.5 and formatted it there — it worked just fine. Verified just fine. Took the drive back to my MacBook Air and tried to verify the disk — same failure.
I wanted to rule out bad media, so I took a Lexar 16GB USB flash drive and tried to format it with Disk Utility 13 — got the same problem.
The only success I’ve had formatting USB drives under 10.9 is to boot up into OS X Recovery. Disk Utility there formatted my Seagate drive without an error. But once I booted back into normal 10.9 operating mode, the drive once again fails to verify; it makes me leery about using it as a Time Machine backup.
I suppose it’s possible there could be some background component like Sophos causing problems when formatting drives, but if I format a drive via OS X Recovery or another Mac under 10.8, that wouldn’t explain why the drives fail to verify.
Anyone got any other observations on this issue?

Problem resolved. I'm posting this note for anyone else who might run into this situation and come across this discussion.
It actually did turn out to be Sophos -- Cloud, that is. I'd been using Sophos' free Mac antivirus software on a variety of systems but forgot that I was now testing out Sophos Cloud on my own MacBook, which is their new endpoint solution, and supposed to be compatible with OS X 10.9 (although the Mac version is listed as "beta") Sophos Cloud includes a new feature called Device Control which allows you to create a company-wide policy to control access to hardware such as USB drives, optical drives, etc. But apparently it's still pretty buggy. I had my Device Control configured with the default setting of "monitor but do not block" but it was most definitely gumming up the system. With Sophos Cloud installed, here's what happens if I try to run "Verify Disk" on any attached drive. Note on the left side how "disk2s2" shows as a sub-volume for each hard drive.
So if I uninstall Sophos Cloud, reboot and rescan, here's what I get:
Works fine. Note that the "disk2s2" subvolumes are also gone. This is the way Disk Utility also appears on a 10.8 or 10.9 system, even if you have the standard free Sophos for Mac software installed. It's only Sophos Cloud that's not playing nice. It also appears to have stopped me from being able to play DVDs from an attached Apple USB SuperDrive -- that problem was likewise solved by removing Sophos Cloud.

Wireless does not hold connection with b43 driver!

Hi everybody!!
It's my first time here in the forum, so nice to meet you.
I have a laptop Acer Aspire 3050 and I recently formatted it to install the new Arch 2009.08.
It's pretty cool, but I can't make my wireless card (Broadcom BCM4318) work with b43 driver. It worked very well with Arch 2009.02, but now it's a pain!
It recognizes the driver, loads it and connect with no problems, but when I ping my desktop machine, it says that unfortunate message "Destination Host Unreachable"
It sometimes works when I do these commands about 5 or 10 times:
./connect
ping 192.168.0.1 >>> Destination Host Unreachable
ifconfig wlan0 down
rmmod b43
/etc/rc.d/network restart
modprobe b43
./connect
[... many more times]
but even when it does connect, it usually can't hold the connection for more than 15 or 20 minutes. And I have to do it all again.
Hear goes some info on configuration files so it may help you:

I've already tried many different configurations in rc.conf, but it still does not estabilish a connection in the first try.
I'm using the driver from the wiki (http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broa … .5.tar.bz2) and did not try with only ndiswrapper. It's because I want to have all functionalities from criptography and... after all, it was supposed to work, wasn't it?
Where could be the problem? The driver version? Or bad configuration?
Thanks in advance!! If you need more information, please ask.

So, the same problem occurred and in a relatively shorter time than before. I began to think that something is causing this problem.
My theory is that it is a VMWare software issue. What I've been doing differently recently is using it in "Unity" mode as opposed to "Full Screen" mode. My guess is that the program is modifying my wireless permissions and screwing it all up.
So, what I've done is set the "Network Adapter" to "Host-Only". This denies the VMWare program internet access but still allows file sharing between the Windows virtual environment and the Mac hard drive.
Then I had to re-install Mac OS X all over again to fix the wireless settings/permissions mess.

Should i use "HDD protection utility" in connection with SSD drive?
