SSD not detected for mac os x re-installation

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 15" retina display with 512 SSD. It came with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 so I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 which was fine for one or two days when it stop working, showing a white screen with a grey folder and a question mark in the center. Then I had to follow the procedures to reboot or reinstall the MacOS. Using Internet recovery. Although I got the software, after accepting the Mac OS X Lion installation, the next screen is not showing the SSD to install it. I checked with Disk Utilities and see no disk to install either. Does this means that the SSD is failling? How can I continue with the installation?

Given the cost of the computer and the fact that it is probably not yet a year old, take it to an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Service Provider and let them deal with it under warranty!
Hint: IIRC, it needed a special version of Lion to work with the Retina's hardware.
Edit. Hint #2: given this unsavory experience, consider the convenience of having the computer protected from these kinds of failures for an additional 2 years by purchasing AppleCare. In a user-unserviceable platform such as this, I feel this is indispensable if you plan on keeping the thing for more than a year.

But on a hunch, System Preferences>Network, unlock the Lock if need be, see if you get New Port Detected, or click the little + icon and see if you can add Ethernet.
If it works & that is the Interface used for Internet, click on the little Gear icon>Set Service Order, drag Ethernet to the top.

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I recently switched over to MAC OS and would like to move my Adobe X Pro over but the CD will not work for Mac OS? Can anyone assist me with this conversion? Best, James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

The Mac Pro - the desktop computer - does not support Airdrop, if that's what you mean.

Apple id not work for mac app store, what happen? It is available for others such as iTunes, my iPhone and iPad

apple id not work for mac app store, what happen? It is available for others such as iTunes, my iPhone and iPad

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide

I’m spending the day catching up on Jabber/IM&P release notes across the server/clients.
So I’m used to EDI and UDS, but we have a new acronym in the Jabber for Mac 9.2(1) Installation and Configuration Guide called BDI and BDS. However they don’t define what BDI stands for other than BDI is LDAP for non-windows
Clients and suggests it should be used for Jabber for Mac.
What is BDI or BDS spelled out? Something directory integration, but what is the B ?
Then to add to the mix they reference BDS which sounds like the old UDS (is UDS changing to BDS?)
How can Jabber get any more confusing…
I also noted in the Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future. Manually launching Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client before making a call. This is going to upset some customers who like how Lync uses https and just works from anywhere with enhanced directory integration…

Basic Directory Integration. It's not new, we had it in the Windows clients as far back as CUPC. The distinction got introduced when EDI was introduced, relying on Windows ADSI APIs instead of the client making a native LDAP bind.
To my knowledge BDI/BDS are the same thing; I'm guessing S is 'service'. UDS remains unchanged.
I also noted in the Jabber Video for iPad 9.3.4 release notes that Apple is removing the Always Connect option in the near future.
Well, they lost a patent infringement lawsuit and chose to change the functionality instead of pay the troll. That's not Jabber's fault. Collaboration Edge will be the way to avoid this in the near future.

OCZ Summit 60gb ssd not detected

Hi all,
I just upgraded my 13.3 2.53 mpb's default 250gb hdd to the ocz summit 60gb ssd. I was able to install snow leopard using the leopard disk and snow leopard upgrade disk. I subsequently installed win xp pro sp3 on boot camp. The ssd is evenly partitioned between osx and windows. After installing win xp, I did not tinker with startup disk settings. I was working on a document in windows and when I returned a hour later, the mbp is showing 'a flashing question mark folder'. I followed the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440 Using disk utility from my osx install cd, I could see that the ssd is not detected, only the dvd drive is detected. I reopened the mbp and confirmed that the sata connection is secure. On a side note, I put the old 250gb hdd into an external enclosure (which has a time machine backup), it was detected by osx install cd.
Next I'll swap the ssd into the external enclosure and see if its detectable.
Thanks in advance.

So exactly what is your question?
Assuming you are asking what happened to your SSD, you may have to roll back your EFI 1.7 firmware to EFI 1.6 for the SSD to work internally in the computer. I had to in my MBP.

SSD not detected in MSI bios?

So i have a corsair force lx SSD and it seems to be not detected on the bios. This SSD does have an OS in it and my pc does boot. but sometimes when i turn on my pc it gives the "9C" error i believe. after i did some research hat code means that it is searching for a bootable USB or something similar. So itry to move the SSD to first boot priority but the SSD is not even an option. It is detected, the mobo sees it in board explorer and all but it is not seen on the "boot priority"
I do have an HDD, Optical Drive and the SSD plugged in. But the SSD is in sata port 6. does plugging it farther down the sata port effect its "detectedness"? Should i move it down to sata port 1 or sata port 2?
Sorry if my grammar/sentence structure and all seems messed up. I am in a bit of hurry while typing this thread.
PC Specs:
CPU: fx8350 stock speed
GPU: XFX r9 280x stock speed
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: Corsair 128GB LX

Quote from: Nichrome on 14-September-14, 01:20:34
Which SATA port is the SSD plugged into? Make sure it is into #1 on the motherboard so it's detected as #1. Otherwise some play within BIoS is required to get it up.
The SSD is plugged into sata port 6.
My HDD is plugged into sata port 1
Optical drive is plugged into sata port 2
I will swap my SSD and HDD port and see if it will show up on the boot priority

Trouble with forms not fuctioning for Mac users

I have created a form in LC Designer that works great on PC, but doesn't work on on Mac. Or rather doesn't work on all Mac machines. I have tested the form on two different Mac machines in my office and it seems to work fine. However, those outside the office are not able to save the completed form or allow the user to use the email submit button. Is there something I can do to make this user-friendly for Mac users?

The email button function is the least of the issues. The fonts and type size are altered, parts of the form drop out and the form fields appear to be blank until you click on them. Upon click the information then appears. It's really very odd.
Additionally, they can not save the form to their desktop. I thought that this was me forgetting to enable user rights, but that was not the case. At the moment, Mac users can only print the form and fax it.
Thanks,
CHC

HP 8530w - SSD not detected

Hello,
Recently I managed to get an SSD from work, namely the A-Data S596 (500 SERIES).
When putting it into my HP Elitebook 8530w, the disk was not detected.
I have already upgraded the BIOS to the newest version.
The SSD's firmware has also recently been upgraded to the newest.
After some googling, I read the device mode could matter.
The disk was not detected using AHCI, IDE or RAID.
Any other ideas to make it work?
Thank you in advance.

Same problem here with a Samsung SSD (MMCRE28G8MXP, Lenovo OEM). The disk works fine in three other devices but is not detected by the 8530w BIOS. The BIOS and SSD firmware are current and the SATA Device Mode setting has no effect. I was wondering whether there might be a tool to set the mode of the SSD but couldn't find anything.
Any ideas??

Cd not mounting for mac version of nwn

I purchased the mac version of Neverwinter nights and attempted to install it on my 10.4 macbook. If i put in the disc1 it will just spin up and down, but will not mount. This continues for several minutes before eventually spitting it out. If I put in disc 2 it mounts fine. Here's the weird part, I put it in my friends macbook to see if it was the disc, and it mounted fine. Any thoughts?

I was lucky enough to get someone from India who knew to tell me to downloads the CC desktop installer although it doesn't have desktop in the wording. Where 3 others before him gave up and virtually acted as if the connection was lost and they were gone one even looked at the problem and wouldn't work on it.
Another Iwish I could remember his name, not an American, listened walked me through uninstalling acrobat for windows and took me at my word that there is a download, actually 2 on the down load page, 11.3or 03 the newest one and helped me install it. Now i don't have the problem however he seemed to think all creative cloud programs were universal and would work on any platform. I don't think he knew that unless I bought microsoft Office for mac
I was not going to save or download into a word file. He was alot of help however when others didn't know a MAC from a Window.

C4380 Scanner is not detected on Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.8), by USB or wifi

Hello,
Working with a MAC with Snow Leopard (10.6).
Suddenly longer able to access the printer via WIFI. Reinstall the software and configure the network went back to the printer.
Now the printer is working correctly by USB and WIFI, but the scanner is not detected.
Can you help, please?
Thank you very much.

When you re-downloaded the drivers and software, did you get the FULL FEATURE drivers?
Did you download this from the website or from the CD?
You can run the print and scan doctor, and check the results.
