Solaris 10 new install and new (?) hard disks

Ok, so I started a solaris 10 install (5/08) on a sparc enterprise 3000 server. I first did the install on 2 brand new 10.7k rpm seagate cheetahs and I was able to install, copy layout to the target disk, configure Raid 1 mirror, was able to boot from the mirror, so on and so on, basically everything ran accordingly. Then I was told that there was a batch of brand new 15k rpm cheetahs and that I should use those. As I rebooted with the new drives, I got the "magic label" warning, so basically I re-labeled them. I ran install and everything installed as before, BUT when I went to SMC to copy the disk layout to the target drive, the only drive present is the target drive (c0t1d0). The drive c0t0d0 does not show. Format does show both drives. Now, if I reboot without drive c0t1d0 and immediately go to SMC/Disks, the drive c0t0d0 is there. What is causing that behavior? Do the drives already have labels and partition info that need to be cleared or redone? I have already tried to re-label and re-partition c0t1d0 identically to c0t0d0 and that does not seem to have an effect. I tried running fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 and I get the " cannot stat device /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0" message. Is there a way to completely wipe out the entire drive c0t1d0 through solaris? Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.

ok, so I was able to copy the c0t0d0 layout to c0t1d0 and that went trough. I verified through format>partition that both drives had identical partition information. I created metadb's to both drives in the specific slices and that was ok. Now here's what I get when I try to create a mirror...
metainit -f d1 1 1 c0t0d0s0
d1: concat/stripe is setup
metainit d2 1 1 c0t1d0s0
metainit: c0t1d0s0: overlaps with c0t0d0s0 which is mounted as "/"
On my first install I was able to create the mirror without a problem. What would be the cause?
Thanx in advance for any suggestions.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Solaris 10, Format and Mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.

Hi,
I have some help to Install Solaris on x86, format and mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I tried to install Sun Solaris 10 and FAILED to format.
I have an Intel�� Xeon�� Processor and a 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I appreciate all the help!!!!!
-John

Hi Jon,
I saw something similar on SPARC when people used s2 (entire disk on non EFI disks) as ASM devices. The workaround we use is to create a new partition, and start it at cylinder 1. This protects the disk label from being overwritten by ASM.

New Computer and New External Hard Drive - why do folders and photos not show up?

I replaced my desktop with a new laptop and external hard drive. I transferred photos from the desktop to the external hard drive. Lightroom 2 only shows the mapped hard drive, but does not show any folders or photos. Can Lightroom be set up to house all the photos on an external hard drive rather than using space on the internal laptop hard drive? Do the photos and folders need to be imported again into LR2? The photos are available for viewing when you search folders, but they open up in Photoshop not LR2.
What should I do to configure imports to be housed on the external hard drive? Is this wise? I will not be able to hold all the photos on the laptop internal hard drive. Photos used to be JPEG and DNG from D700. I am starting to see NEF. Does this replace DNG? Besides RAW I also need to have JPEG for other family members to access photos on other computers connected to the network. I am watching a tutorial DVD and slowly picking up how this all works. Let me know if I am not using the correct terms.
Hardware: HP laptop w/64bit, Buffalo 1TB RAID hard drive.

Lot's of questions here. I'll do a few.
Yes Lightroom can work with images on external drives. As many drives as you want.
I assume from what you said in your original post that you have had lightroom installed on the old desktop and now wish to transfer your catalogue and all files to the external drive and work from that.
So what you would do would be to transfer the entire contents of the lightroom folder on your old computer, except for any images, to the same location on your new laptop. This would include the catalogue files and any folders containing previews. Then you would copy all your image files to the new external hard drive. When you open lightroom you can then select the catalogue you copied from the old computer and open it. In the the folder pane in the library module you can then right click on one of the folders and select "locate missing files". Then you just need to point light room to the new location of your images. You may or may not need to regenerate all your previews.
I store all my images on external hard drives and I even run the catalogue and previews from the same external drives. I have backups of all my images of course. I have light room make backups of the catalogue to the C drive on my laptop so that the original and the backup are stored in different locations.
NEF is the proprietary file system for raw images used on Nikon cameras. DNG is a universal raw file format developed by Adobe. You can convert your files from NEF to DNG on import, but as Lightroom can read both types of files it is not necessary. At this point in time if you are using lightroom you should get similar results from either type of file.
To store imports on the new external drive you can you tell light room to copy the files to the new drive or you can manually copy the files to the new location and have light room import From the current location.
Hope this helps

No. It's what I've named my boot drive.

My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app. I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud. We did a new install and it works great now. Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app. I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5. What's going on with iCloud?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

Try a restart. If the problem is the same, try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command
and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder (command - option - esc) and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Got new nano and new laptop - how to get songs on both?

My old nano does not work, purchased a new Nano 16 gb. Also have new laptop and would like to get songs onto new laptop and new nano. What should I do first? New laptop is Windows 7, old is Windows XP. I do have an external hard drive that I can use to back up songs from old computer.

The external is perfect. You will want to locate your music on the Win XP hard drive and move it to the external, then bring the external to the new Win 7 PC and drag the music in to a folder there.
If you have iTunes already installed then you will need to drag the music in to iTunes once you've moved it to the PC.
If iTunes is not installed you're good, just install iTunes and it will pick up the music automatically.
Then connect iPod and sync ^^v

New home and new WIFI sluggishness

I recently moved in with my girlfriend. At my last location, I quit using wifi, was connected directly via ethernet to my cable internet modem. I was also Airport sharing the connection for my kids' iMac.
Now in her new place (and new wifi), I can connect with full bars via Airport, but many sites do not load the first time. I need to refresh the browser several times to get many sites to load.
I have turned off the internet connection sharing as well. Is it some type of DNS problem?
clueless... assuming it has something to do with the move.

HI greengrass,
There is no real procedure for you as a customer. You can place an order for broadband and phoneline simultaneously. BT will take care of the rest.
If there a line in the new place then it might need an engineer call out in order to get it up and going but this will be made clear whenever your order is placed.

New Ipod and new computer-how to transfer

I just got the new ipod video and had the 20gb. I now have a new computer and new ipod. How do I transfer my songs to my new ipod and computer?
any help would be appreciated.
D

If you transfer your library from the PC to the Mac, and then plug in your new ipod to the new Mac, a question will pop up asking you whether you want this computer's library to be transferred to the iPod. Click Yes, and it will start synching with whatever is in the library.
You can also use some programs, like "Senuti" (for mac, freeware) to rip off the contents FROM your iPod TO your new Mac. I personally like Senuti since it has an iTunes-like interface except in reverse.

New songs and new audio book from Audible will not sync from my computer. Any idea why?

I updated my 4S to OS7. I am now unable to sync new songs and new audiobook from Audible from my computer. Any idea why?

Might be incompatible with iOS 7.
Keep in mind, Audible is not Apple software and Apple is not responsible for third party software compatibility.
Check the Audibile website for iOS 7 support.

NEW CELL and NEW LINE

Hi,
I am not clear about NEW CELL and NEW LINE in The Main window -> Table -> Footer -> Output options -> Output Table. Could any one help in explaining exactly what is the purpose of it.
Thanks
Ram

when you are placing a text element, you need to specify whether you want this text element to be displayed in the next cell of the table. If the text element is to be displayed in the next line then you will have to check that as well. So, if you are displaying a list of fields in a row format then for the first field, you check both line and cell and for the rest of the fields you check just the cell.

new computer and new skype user, new norton user-Norton keeps asking me if I want to allow all these different computers-all I have is a list of numbers so I dont know who they are or what it is about.

A new iPad and new Express, but no Mac - can't set up network!

Here's a puzzler (for me at least) --
Mom bought a new iPad and new Airport Express. She has no Mac, so no iTunes and no syncing. Her iPad does NOT have Airport Utility. She's starting from scratch.
Her Express is connected to her Cox Cable Cisco modem, shich shows steady green for good internet connection. The express flashes amber, I assume becuase there's no network set up.
Her iPad sees the Express -- Wi-Fi in the Settings menu has "Apple ..." where the network name appears -- and the wireless signal 'fan' shows strong in the top bar.
In iPad > Settings > Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi shows 'on', no editable network shows, and no "create network" option shows.
She can't get Airport Utility without internet or syncing to a Mac, and she can't see any way to create a network, or see any existing network that she can forget or manage.
Is this simple Cox Cable > Cisco modem > Express wireless > iPad a workable setup?
Is there any way to create the wireless network without Airport Utility?
Thanks!
Otto
P.S. The iPad isn't pristine connection-wise. It was temporarily connected to a public Wi-Fi to complete setting up an iCloud account, and so get to the home screen for the first time. BUT, my mom is ancient and fearful, and I don't want to send her out to find public Wi-Fi to set up a a credit card account so she can use the app store to get utility if I don't have to. Help.

Thanks CRMDVM -- ...which means, I think, that she will need to go out into the wide world to find public wireless. Makes me wish Airport Utility was one of the stock apps that came with the iPad.
Any other ideas? Any way to manually configure on an iPad? Anything? Thanks.
Otto
