SMART Failing ? Help

Hi all,
Having serious problems with my HD (I think). running fsck -fy now reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" which appears to be good news however...
Running Disc Utility I get the mssg "S.M.A.R.T Failing"
What does this mean?
Tks as always
PAJ

Sorry Lyssa,
No not under warenty unfortunately. In all my years with Macs (since my IICI? all of 40 megs HD and a whole 4megs ram it came to me some time ago that "I reckon my HD is knackered".
Just clinging onto hope!
Appreciate your reply though.
Wish I could get the money together for desktop, Nice new cheap HD and room to play.
many thanks though
Paj

Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

Issue with Smart View Help Contents using v11.1.2.0.01

Hi there,
I just installed v11.1.2.0.01 (Build 003) of the Smart View add-in on a MS Windows XP SP2 PC with MS Office 2003 SP3.
Unfortunately, the Help Contents in MS Excel does not seem to work as whenever I select Smart View > Help > Contents, nothing gets displayed. Selecting Smart View > Help > Technical Support and Smart View > Help > EPM Documentation takes me to various links on the www.oracle.com site.
I uninstalled then re-installed this specific version a few times but to no avail. I even checked the contents of each subdirectory where Smart View has been installed but could not find any Help files whatsoever.
1. Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
2. If yes, what do I need to do to resolve this issue and get the Smart View Help to be displayed?
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Well, reading the documentation about knowing where to find the documentation would have actually helped. At the bottom of page 10 of the Smart View ReadMe document, the following is mentioned under the "Documentation Updates" section:
"For Smart View online help to be available, the Shared Connections URL on the Advanced page of the Options dialog box must contain an EPM Workspace URL."
This question is now answered.

Smart value help autocomplete doesn't work

Hello,
We are using CRM 7.0. We want to provide an autocomplete option for some customer input field.
We decided to implement it with smart value help (F4) functionality. This customer field belongs to the customer Z view.
When we use this Z view in the Z component, autocomplete wotks fine but when we use it in the standard component, F4 popup help works but autocomplete (smart value help) doesn't work.
We would appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

Smart Album Help

Smart Album help, please! While converting old slides to digital, I am importing to iPhoto in small batches. I have created a "smart album" for the converted slides expecting successive imports would automatically install into that "converted slides" titled smart album. It's not happening. ? ? ? I titled the 2nd imported batch "converted slides". This 2nd import is sitting in "Last Roll" rather than automatically moving to the smart album. How do I move this 2nd batch of 242 photos from "Last Roll" into its designated album? I tried "drag n drop" the whole roll, perusing iPhoto help menu, to no avail. HELP!
Neophyte NaNa

On further review of the iPhoto Help menu, it seems that an "Album" is much more flexible than the smart album. Can I change a smart album into a regular album? Or, I've created a "folder" for the smart album. Now, if I "Trash" the smart album, will the folder of slides remain? My right shoulder aches from too many hours on this project, that now I'm afraid to try anything for fear of loosing all that work. SHEEESH.

My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!
It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
So annoying. Can anyone help?

Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?

Early 2008 Mac Pro-What type of HD? Smart failing?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro and have two hard drives in it. The main system drive is a 2TB Western Digital drive I installed about a year ago. The 2nd drive is a 1TB Seagate drive which is the original drive that came with the Mac Pro.
When looking at Disk Utility a few days ago I realized the drive is showing up in Red and it's saying that SMART is failing. I've never had this happen before and like having a warning.
First Question:
When SMART shows up as failing can it be a false alarm or is it likely a definite sign of impending hard drive failure? When this happens, does the drive frequently fail quickly or does it take awhile? The fortunate thing is I back this drive up frequently to Time Machine.
Second Question:
What SATA speed does the Mac Pro handle? I see many hard drives that are 3.0GB/s and some that are 6.0GB/s. Does the Mac Pro handle the faster 6.0GB/s? If not, would they still work but just not at the additional speed?
I may consider upgrading to a 1.5TB or 2TB but figured I'll go with a Western Digital or Seagate drive. I see cache ranging from 16MB to 64MB and speeds at 5400RPM and 7200RPM. Between these two which is more important, large cache size or RPM's?
Thank you for your help.

Run WD Lifeguard (*Windows program or their ISO you burn to CD) is best and almost only reliable way.
If a drive has started to use spare blocks it is gone.
IT DOES NOT MATTER. Any 3.5" SATA drive is a drive is all SATA and mostly about features and specs. So just buy the newest size you need. 64MB cache and 7.2K (Green can have trouble on Macs and are more for backup and storing movies etc).
I recommend WD 10K VR newest 250GB 200MB/sec for system $152, and WD Black or Hitachi.
http://www.macperformanceguide.com likes 2-3-4TB.
Questions like this get asked unfortunately.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3908030?tstart=0
For every drive, you want to have multiple backup sets (clone and Tm) because drives and backups do fail and you want an alternate boot drive and to restore when needed.

Filesystem verify or repair failed - help please!

I bought a hard drive a few months ago and all of a sudden time machine is telling me its "read only" and when I try to verify it in order to repair it, this is the message I get:

can someone help me! thank you so much.

Have you actually repaired the drive or simply verified it? If the latter then I suggest doing the former.
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your OS X installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Secure link to iTunes Store failed: HELP!

I'm new to iTunes and purchased my first iPod yesterday night. The first time I plugged in my iPod to sync it, I wasn't able to. At first I had version 10 then it updated. On the previous version I was able to access the iTunes store but wasn't able to sync my iPod. I had downloaded the most recent version of iTunes (10.1) and then this problem occured.
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection timed out. Please make sure that the network settings are correct and that your netowrk is connected, then try again."
I've read several different manuals and emailed Apple about it. I've tried a lot of different things to fix it.
+-change firewall settings+
+-redownloaded iTunes+
+-contacted Apple Tech Support+
+-changed proxy settings+
+-changed permissions+
+-disabled firewall+
+-restarting iTunes+
+-restarting router+
And several others. Nothing seems to work. I ran a diagnostic review and this is what came up.

i found a solution that worked in my case..i found it in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2284692?start=0&tstart=0 in texlark's post..i copied and pasted it here:
The Fix (& It's NOT Your Firewall)
A. Symptoms
When you try to connect to the iTunes Store you may receive the alert message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-9808). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
B. Resolution
Check your computer's date, time, and time zone. Set the correct date, time, and time zone if needed. If your computer's date, time, and time zone are all correct and you still see this alert message, this issue can be resolved by modifying certain settings in the Internet Options control panel:
1) Go to the Start menu and choose Control Panel.
2) Select Internet Options.
Note: If you are using Windows Vista you may need to select Classic View on the left before you can see Internet Options.
Note: If you are using WIndows 7 you may need to change "View by" to either Large icons or Small icons before you can see Internet Options.
3) Click the Advanced tab.
4) In the Settings box, scroll down to the Security section.
5) Deselect the option to "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)."
6) Select the options for "SSL 3.0" and "TLS 1.0."
7) Apply the changes and restart your computer.

Ive lost iphotots and iweb after hard drive failed help

Hi my hard drive failed yesterday and I took it to the apple store who confirmed it had failed. They advised I should purchase a new one, provided me the specs and fit it myself. I've now clearly done that because I'm writing this
However I've reloaded everything back on but i've noticed my iphoto and iweb are missing!!! I really need these apps, I cant remember how I put them on the machine, be it disc or download but clearly ive paid for these app.
Please please help me I really need these apps as I have current workload dependant on having these apps

iPhoto is included with the iLife apps and can be downloaded from the Mac App store or if your Mac is slightly older and came with an earlier version of OS X then Mt Lion then those apps are on the second system install discs that came with your system (Which I suspect it is an older Mac as iWeb is no longer included in the iLife suit of programs).
So dig out your original system discs and use the one marked Applications to reinstall those apps. Then update them from software update.
If for some reason they won't install on Mt Lion then you will need to wipe the drive, Re-Install the original OS X version and the iLife apps then upgrade back to Mt Lion.
EDIT, NOTE: To the OP and DS store.
iWEB Still works on ML as long as it is updated to the newest version. If the Applications disc is new enough it will even install on Mt Lion.

Upgrading Stellent 7.5 to OCS 10gR3 Import Process failing HELP NEEDED

Hi,
I am upgrading Stellent 7.5 to Oracle COntent Server 10gR3. Here is what I have done.
1. Migrated all the configuration from Stellent to 10gR3
2. Migrated the Folders from Stellent to 10gR3
3. Migrated the content by creating an Archive and then importing the Archive in 10gR3.
I am seeing lot of errors in the log file. Following are the errors I see in the log file.
1.
Could not send mail message from (null) with subject line: Content Release Notification. Could not get I/O for connection to: hpmail.rtp.ppdi.com java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out
2.
Import error for archive 'ProductionContent' in collection 'prod_idc': Invalid Metadata for 'ID_000025'. Virtual folder does not exist.
3.

4.

7.
Import error for archive 'ProductionContent' in collection 'prod_idc': Aborting. Too many errors.
QUESTIONS:
Is there a way to keep the import processing running even if the errors are coming. As it looks like when there are too many errors the import process stops in the middle.
How do I find out the total number of folders and the documents. As I want to run the same query on Stellent 7.5 and find out total number of folders and the documents and then run the same query on 10gR3 and compare the results. Just want to fnd out how much content is imported.
How do I run the import process over again as half of the content is imported and my import process failed in the middle when running the process over again what settings do I need to provide to make sure no duplicates get created etc.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
There are a couple of ways to get around the issues that you are facing such that import process is not interrupted because of these. They are as follows :
1. Use ArchiveReplicationException component . This will keep the import process running and make a log of the failed process which can be used for assessing / gauging the success of the import and what all needs to be redone.
I would suggest this as the option for your case.
2. Put the config variable for arciver exception to 9999 so that the archive process stops only after hitting the limit of 9999 errors.
I would suggest to go for step 1 as that would be a much more foolproof and methodical way of knowing what all items have failed during import.
Thanks
Srinath

Logic Studio 9 - Installation Failed - HELP!!!

Macbook Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM - 4 GB
10.6 Snow Leopard
I just purchased a brand new copy of Logic 9 and installation has failed every single time I've tried, for hours now.
Have tried installing w/ and w/out jampacks and audio content, nothing seems to work...am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for any help.

Hi,
You don't give much info in terms of how and when your installation failed. From what you say, though, you might have defective disks (or maybe a hardware problem), and no matter what you do, they won't work. In Denver you have an apple store? Take them and your computer in and let them try to install, and go from there.
Good luck,
Ray

Smart Guitar help...

Wondering if it's possible to get different guitar pedals/FX for Smart Guitar in GB app for iPad
The only reason I ask is because I saw a couple youtube videos where people were playing familiar tunes and riffs on SG (AC/DC, GnR...) and they sounded almost spot-on to the actual guitar sounds that are naturally in the riffs.
Naturally, they may have had the iPad output going through an external unit for the modulation, but nonetheless it would seem possible to add "in-app" purchases for such pedals and I'm wondering if this exists.

This is the limitation in GarageBand for iPad. You can use (import) different effects, regardelss if there are stompboxes, amps or synth. You only can work with the parameters of the provded effects and sounds.
If you think about how difficult it is just to get audio files and Apple Loops into the iPad, imagine dealing with external plugins. May in the future with iOS12.
Hope that helps
