Support for RunCore SSD

Am I allowed to ask if anyone has managed to get a RunCore Pro IV Sata II 2.5" SSD 128GB drive to work with Unibody MacBook Pro 2.4GHz?
I can see it when booted off Install DVD and reformat with 1 partition (GUID). The installation appears to work, but when the "Installing" screen appears it says "Installing Mac OS X on the volume 'Untitled'", wth 'Time remaining: Calculating....' below but the progress bar has not moved for the past 20-30 minutes.
Regards
C.

So I looked at the install Log and the last things noted are:
From OSInstaller:
Processing BaseSystem:
Determining files to install
Configuring deferred files
Validating package payload
Starting file extraction
installdb:
Opened receipt database on '/Volumes/Untitled/' with schema 0.
9 minutes later a process called 'Unknown' reports:
'Mac OS X Installer (CarbonCore.framework) FSEventStreamStart: ERROR: FSEvents_connect() => Unknown service name (1102)
OSInstaller then reports:
installAutoFSMonitor: open failed
TaskLauncher:Launch Failed
Then I quit the installer and rebooted. All I got was Leopard installer window and spinning wheel of death.

Ssd NCQ support for new iMac

Will there ever be firmware with NCQ support for 256 ssd shipped with new iMacs? My ssd ("TS" marked, most likely Toshiba) does not have one, and that's a bit outdated don't you think.

Kappy wrote:
Although with a separate SSD and HDD you have to perform the work yourself you do gain some flexibility in your set up. However, should the urge arise there are numerous tutorial around that explain how to turn the SSD and HDD into a Fusion Drive using the same mechanism that Apple uses.
And the converse is also possible and easy: you can turn the fusion drive back into two separate drives.
If possible, I think you should put up the extra $250 for the Fusion Drive - especially considering this is not an option later on. With such a new machine, the internal hard drive will be the slowest part.
Still, even with a Fusion Drive, an external is strongly recommended. You should install FCP X in your regular system drive (fusion or not), and have your projects and events in an external.
Your proposed solution is adequate, depending only on available space. You only need your working projects and events to fit in the ssd. As long as you move them elsewhere when finished, to make room for the new ones, you'll be more than fine even with a smallish usb3 ssd.

Trim support for SSD on Marvel controller?

I read somewhere that the 6Gbs Marvell 9128 ports do not support trim on an SSD. Is this true? I also heard that the RAID support for the Intel P67 ports are much more better than the Marvel Ports. This is what I am trying to do, and am wondering if it will work. I have an MSI P67A-GD65. I want to run Two WD Caviar Black 6Gbs (even though I know they achieve nowhere near that rate) on Sata ports 1 and 2 (the Intel P67 controller ports), in ports 3,4,5,6 (the Intel P67 3 Gbs ports) I would have 2 1TB storage drives, A Bluray drive, A DVD drive, and in the last ports 7 or 8 (the Marvell 9128) controller 6Gbs port) I wanted to have a Crucial C300 128Gb SSD drive as the boot drive. Would this work, or should I use port 7 and 8 for my RAID setup instead and use port 1 or 2 for the SSD? Any thoughts are appreciated. I love this mainboard and can't wait to get it up and running.
My System:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3), Intel 2600k processor, XFX Radeon 6950 1GB graphics card, 8 GB G.Skill Ram, 1 Crucial C300 SSD (boot drive), 2 640GB WD Caviar Black in RAID 0, 1 Blu Ray Drive, 1 DVD drive, Corsair HX850w PS

Not true. TRIM has nothing to do with the SATA controller, it is dependent on the drive itself, and your operating system.

Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)

From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
I can't be the only one having this itch, right?

Again, you need to clarify your terms
Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more.

How Do I Get Technical Support for my S10-3T?

My battery is taking over five hours to charge up, and the charge doesn't last. I have a problem.
I have just spent a terribly frustrating hour, trying to find out how to get technical support for this computer. First off, I cannot find a telephone number on the Lenovo site.
Well, O.K. I tried to get on-line technical support. It says I need to have a 7 digit model number. Well, I don't seem to have a 7 digit model number. I have an S10-3t computer that has a four digit model name, a serial number, and a 10 digit "MO" number, whatever this is.
Can somebody please tell me how to contact a Lenovo human being to find out how to resolve my problem?

TRIM Support for AMD sb850

Hi all,
I've just bought an OCZ Octane 128GB SSD, formatted nad created an ext4 partition to host my root filesystem.
When I try to enable TRIM support for root filesystem (putting the discard in mount options) I get the following errors in dmesg
failed command: DATA SET MANAGEMENT
I've a Gigabyte GA-870A-UDE rev2 motherboard, the SSD is attached to one of the sata3 ports (managed by the SB850 Southbridge)
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Luca

Technically, TRIM is not supported by Lion for non-Apple-branded SSDs, but there is a work around for this.
The procedure described here worked beautifully for me: http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/

Where to request support for unsupported (so far) VM argument (pmoffscreen)

hi,
i'm serving an app via web start, which has been great so far, but the app is very slow when viewed by a remote x-server. i found the VM argument pmoffscreen to be very useful for speeding up such response, but unfortunately i find that this VM argument is not supported for VMs started via web start. does anyone know why (buffer overflow issues or somesuch?), and where can i go to register desire for the support of this argument in web start VMs (if not here...)
thanks!

Hi Svet,
i have bought a Samsung 830 SSD for my gx660r notebook, but i realized that it is not recognized in the BIOS in AHCI mode.
The MSIHQ Flashing Tool says the following about my BIOS:
Mainboard: MS-16F1
PCB Version: To be filled by O.E.M.
BIOS Version: E16F1IMS VER3.0J
BIOS Date: 28.03.2011
EC-FW Version:
Could you provide me with a BIOS that works with my Samsung SSD?
I already donated some bucks.
Yep, check PM
Quote
And can you give me a hint how i can rescue my system in case the update fails?
As far as i know, my notebook does not have m-flash (at least i've seen no reference to m-flash), is there another way to restore the backup bios in case something goes wrong?
Nope, in a case of bad flash there is no recovery.
Else if everything goes fine, you can restore original BIOS if you want to do this for some reason.
Quote
BTW: Im using the latest version of the flashing tool, but it does not offer the mode 2 (where i can point to a single bios file).
To prevent using the wrong flasher[which can kill the notebook],
Tool automatically Disable Mode2 when notebook is detected.
Quote
Can you provide the modded bios as a zip/rar file so i can use it with mode1?
Yes, ofc. Check PM

TRIM Support in Mac SSD

I am about to purchase my first Mac and Im so excited. But before I do I have a question about the SSD. I was not planning on buying the SSD, but instead just going to some 7200RPM HDD but realized the price was only an additional $90, a price you can not just go out and buy one at.
My only concern is the lack of TRIM in Mac OSX. Now, their is speculation (and partial proof) that Lion will have TRIM support, but from what I have researched TRIM is also a hardware variable and not just software. Does anyone know if the new MacBook Pro's SSDs offer TRIM support? Also, will my SSD, by Summer hopefully, be negatively effected by the few months of the lack of TRIM?
Thank you so much,
Ben

You do not need to run any UNIX (or any other) programs to 'TRIM' the drive. If the drive firmware supports TRIM (as all newer drives do) and the operating system supports the TRIM command, you will benefit from this feature. The way TRIM works is this:
When you delete a file from a drive, the operating system marks the space used by the file as free so it can be used again. On a mechanical hard drive this works fine and the space will get written over as needed. Unfortunately, the SSD does not know the difference between erasing a block and writing over it with new data, so they are treated the same. The problem that occurs with SSD is that each block on the drive has a limited number of write cycles it can withstand before failing so the SSD firmware tries to spread out the usage of blocks on the drive by a process called wear-levelling. This ensures that the drives last as long as they need to, but results in fragmentation of the drive. This is a lower level fragmentation than what is typically referred to when discussing hard drive fragmentation and is not really related. This low level fragmentation can result in reduced performance of the drive over time, as blocks are erased and data is moved around by the wear-levelling.
The drive manufacturers have worked wonders trying to minimize this effect with intelligent firmware, but it is still a measurable problem. This is where TRIM comes into play. If the TRIM command (a low level drive command, not something you run from within the operating system) is supported throughout the system, deleting of a file will cause the operating system to issue TRIM to the SSD instead of just marking the blocks as empty as would be done on a mechanical hard disk. The SSD then knows that these blocks are no longer needed and the drive firmware can then clean up more efficiently. The drive firmware will show the space as available (because it is) but will not actually perform a write to that part of the drive until a later time, when enough blocks are ready to be TRIM'd all at once. This works in conjunction with the wear leveling to reduce wear on the flash cells and prevent fragmentation from occurring. For a more detailed description of TRIM, I recommend checking out the articles by Allyn Malventano over at PC Perspective:
http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=7488
That site is mostly geared towards Windows users, but the basics of SSD operation are the same, and Allyn is definitely an expert when it comes to storage technology.
As far as over-provisioning goes, this provides a way to reduce fragmentation without the need for TRIM support (although the SandForce drives also can do TRIM). Over-provisioning involves setting aside a certain amount of flash memory on the SSD (7-28% typically) that is not available (or visible) to the operating system. The firmware uses this extra storage space to more efficiently defragment and wear-level the drive and it is transparent to the operating system. This is why an Intel X25 G2 drive will benefit more from TRIM support than a SandForce based drive like the OWC or Vertex series ones. The above mentioned site also has some good articles about over-provisioning, including comparisons of the same drive with 7% and 28% overhead. It boils down to this: if you have a SandForce drive, TRIM support is not as important because the drive does a good job on its own. If you use a different SSD, TRIM support is very beneficial, and we should all hope that OS X delivers full support for TRIM in the near future. Also, the added expense for the enterprise level (28% over-provisioned) SandForce drives is normally not justified, especially in a single drive setup.

Support for Windows 7

Someone told me that HP stopped supporting the desktop PCs with Windows 7 and no longer release BIOS updates that will support newer video cards. Is it really true?
Only 2 years ago I bought a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1227 (Win 7 64 bit) with a Joshua-H61-uATX mobo and now I noticed HP relesased a bios update only for Windows 8.
That's odd... as far as a I know no bios update cares about the OS, since its all 'pre-os' agnostic.
So, it should be ok to run that bios update for a Windows 7 PC as well, right?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you for the additional information.
Here's the thing, if you use a BIOS that is not tested for the OS it is a big risk. I can't say for certain that it won't work, but I am not going to recommend it. A failed BIOS flash is not reversible!! You will have a good doorstop. Also, don't use the guides for retail motherboards to determine what will work in HP's motherboards. They have them made to their specs and are not the same as retail boards. Therefore, even if the guide says the card is compatible with the motherboard, it is not necessarily correct.
The card that you want to use should fit into the case and the hybrid BIOS is good, but I don't believe that your power supply unit (PSU) will have the 2x75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors to run it. Also, it requires a 500W PSU. The one in your computer is 460W. This information is in the System Requirements section of the link that you provided.
Here is a card that may work for you. It also has a hybrid BIOS and does not require the additional PCI Express 6-pin power connectors. The only thing that concerns me is the length of the card. It is 9.84" in length. You can make a template the size of the card and try it in the space provided to see if there is enough space for the card and enough room for good airflow. Airflow is extremely important!
If you decide to go with the card in the link, please let me know how it works. You may want to contact MSI Tech Support for more guidance. They are very knowlegable and will know if it will work for certain in your computer.

Abandoned Support for X40 ?

Lenovo/Thinkvantage updates for Windows 7 have begun to exclude support for X40. Has Lenovo abandoned support for X40 ? My X40/2372 with SSD runs just fine under Windows 7. I trusted Lenovo's "cost of ownership" promise. It seems Lenovo has abandoned support for X40s running Windows 7. Is this so? If Lenovo has not abandoned support for X40s under Windows 7, which version of System Update and Access Connections supports X40 under Windows 7?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
As per MS's own guidelines, X40 is not deemed powerful enough to run Vista or W7, due to its outdated graphics chipset.
All of these machines are over five years old now and expecting support for an OS that is two releases behind the newest one that they were originally shipped with is rather optimistic - I know of no laptop manufacturer that provides that kind of support.
All of that said, trial and error is the only way to go, and find out what works and what doesn't. I do it with my older ThinkPads all the time.
Good luck.
Cheers,

Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

Why no SyncML-support for Harmattan??

I've used SyncML on my N95 with memotoo.com for years. Worked very well. I took it for granted that SyncML would be supported on the N9. But alas, it isn't. I find that really incomprehensible. Worse yet, CalDAV syncing with memotoo doesn't work - I don't know who's to blame for this, but on the desktop it works flawelessly so I do have a suspicion. Even worse: there is no way to sync contacts using CardDAV.
MeeGo (the true MeeGo) has SyncML-support out-of-the-box. And the N9/N950 does have SyncML-support for bluetooth.
Yes, contacts syncing is supported for Ovi. And Google. And Facebook. But I do NOT want to use those services, because of grave privacy risks and because they use yet again some proprietary protocols.
I wonder, what where they thinking at Nokia for NOT supporting some well-known open standards??
(While I'm ranting: why is there ^%@$ Facebook and GTalk-support over XMPP, but no self-defined XMPP account?? Yes, you can add such accounts from the terminal, using mc-tool, but really that's just a kick in the teeth. And where's UPnP/DLNA-support?)

Hey Guys, Did you figure out any way to do PIM sync via SyncML on N9?
I am struggling to get things moving as I come from N8.
N9 just doesnt have any way to sync calendar, tasks with Ovi. Same with Notes.

ISE 1.2.1 support for Yosemite?

Hello all, just curious. I see in the release notes for ISE 1.2.X that support for Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) was available via patch 12 on the ISE1.2.0 train of code. That said, I see nothing in the release notes stating any support for Yosemite for any of the patches for ISE1.2.1, the latest being patch 3 released 1 week after ISE 1.2.0 patch 12. Can anyone please advise if Yosemite is in fact supported on 1.2.1 with patch 3??
Thank you very much in advance for your help
Jeff

Jeff,
OS X 10.10 is supported in ISE 1.2 p11, 1.2.1 p2 and 1.3.
Patch 12 for 1.2 and Patch 3 for 1.2.1 fix other issues for OS X 10.10, and I recommend updating to the latest patches for these fixes.
Here is the entry in the Release Notes detailing the fix for 10.10 in 1.2 p 12:
MacOsXAgent versrion 4.9.5.3 should be used and MacOsXSPWizard 1.0.0.30
Note that the description for these files denote ISE 1.2 Patch 11/12, ISE 1.3 release and above. ISE 1.2.1 is not mentioned, but follows the bug fix/release schedule for 1.2, with an adjustment.
1.2 patch 10 = 1.2.1 patch 1
