System preferences fails to recognize a new ext. HD to which my MacPro has been cloned (with SuperDuper). I want to check to be sure that it will function as a start up disk.
I have a new 3 TB Western Digital ext. HD. I used Super Duper to clone my MacPro HD to the ext. HD. I want to be certain that I can use it as a Startup disk in an emergency. To test this, I wanted to restart with the new drive as the startup disk. The disk image is on the desk top and the computer recognizes it but in System Preferences>Startup Disk, it does not appear. Any ideas? Mid 2010 MacPro w/ Yosemite 10.10.1
System Report>System Info>Storage lists the new ext. HD but System Preferences>Startup disk does not show it.
Many thanks.
I did not see anything about GUID there. I formatted with Disk Utility as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but I think I erred there. On the left column, there is a list of items. Next to the bottom, it lists my HD on 2 lines. On the very bottom line, after an indent, the HD is listed once again. I selected the indented lower line to clone to. I'll bet that I should have selected the upper line.
When I click on the upper line, Disk Utility blank space after "Format" fills in with MS-DOS (FAT). I'll change that to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and clone to that line selection.
You gave me the idea to re-check Disk Utility and recognize what I think was my error. However, I am not going to prove that. I shall install Yosemite on the ext. HD and go from there. I never would have thought of that. Thank to y'all and that includes LINC. Great help!

Base station error, air port utility was unable to find my airport device. Why does it say this when it recognizes my airport on the computer? Yellow light has been on
On the older version of the AE you can still use older airport utility.
But once you load the new one you cannot easily go back.. you can load an older 5.6 version though.. instructions below.
For 6.3 you need to run ipv6 local link.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so. -
Hello
I have a VeriStand-Project (VSP) created with my Laptop-Host (LTH) which works with my PXI, while
deploying it from my LTH. Then I have installed the whole NI enviroment for PXI and VeriStand use on a
industrial PC (iPC). I have tried to deploy my VSP from the iPC to the PXI but the following error
message arose on my iPC:
The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.
Details: Error -1074384569 occurred at Project Window.lvlibroject Window.vi >> Project

Possible reason(s):
NI-XNET: (Hex 0xBFF63147) The database information on the real-time system has been created with an
older NI-XNET version. This version is no longer supported. To correct this error, re-deploy your

The software versions of the NI products (MAX/My System/Software) between my LTH and the iPC are
almost the same. The only differences are:
1. LabView Run-Time 2009 SP1 (64-bit); is installed on LTH but missing on iPC. The iPC has a 32-bit system.
2. LabView Run-Time 2012 f3; is installed on LTH but missing on iPC.
3. NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.3.5; something strage on the LTH, because normally I am using NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 and all other DAQmx products on my LTH are 9.5.5. That means NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5.. On the iPC side all three products are 9.5.5.. That means NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.5.5, NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5..
4. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4; The iPC has this SW installed. On the LTH this SW is missing.
In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
1. LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0.1
2. NI-488.2 RT 3.0.0
3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
Unfortunately the above stated problem still arose.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I found a hint on http://www.labviewforum.de/Thread-XNET-CAN-die-ersten-Gehversuche.
There it is written to deploy the dbc file againt.
If this is a good hint, so how do I deploy a dbc file?
I would feel very pleased if somebody could help me! :-)
Best regards
Lukas NowakHi Lukas,
I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.

NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

Can I restore from an iTunes backup after setting up as a new phone when a full reboot/restore has been carried out?
As @wjosten says. Note, however, that it is important to NOT sync the phone after resetting it. A Sync will overwrite the backup that you want to restore.

i bought my wife an ipad retina for xmas and the machine is faulty, it keeps on switching off. the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one as it is only a few weeks old and had the problem from the begining? is it correct that apple replaces new defective products with factory refurbished one? I have used apple products most of my life from mac 2 to G5. I had over a dozen apple machines and never had a problem so far? I do not believe this is right..

In the EU there is also a mandatory two year warranty by european union law. I am not a lawyer but i never signed or agreed to any apple policy at the time of purchase, i was told you have a two year guarantee bring it back if anything goes wrong which i did and now i am being quoted all sorts of policies. my own policy is that if you buy new you get new, with no excuses. I feel a bit cheated by apple if i have to compromise with a second hand unit. the unit is not even a month old and we took it to the original store a couple of weeks after it was bought and they sent us to take it to a servicing dept in another town. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service like the products themselves.
No one ever does sign anything - the purchase itself, where you exchange money for the product, is your de facto agreement to all warranties and policies set forth by both the seller and the OEM supplier. That's a pretty firmly established principle of consumer law (image the nightmare if you had to read and sign to such things every time you purchased anything or everything?).
You can complain to the store or to Apple about it if you wish. -

Hello Alex,
in addition to John's hint: Nevertheless it could be of interest whether you can have multiple users or computers.
Again and again refers Adobe on this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html >>> How many computers can I install on >>> You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
On the other hand, you could have a look here: http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6/faq.html
Good luck!

I received notice about a new cover art requirement (1400x1400 pixels) but can't find a way to change my existing art. My podcast has been updating flawlessly for several years, so I'd hate to have to remove the feed and start over.
Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.
http://blog.libsyn.com/libsyn-servers-are-byte-range-enabled-and-100-compliant-w ith-i-tunes-requirements
If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues.
Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

Tried to change the wallpaper on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.1. It failed with the error detailed below. Now this happens only in one user the Standard account, the admin can changes it's desktop picture.
I cannot interpret the error messages to a solution. I do not want to delete the non admin. I have been a good boy and the non admin has the vast majority of my user data.
Said data has changed a lot recently with the addition of lots of pictures , part of a consolidation of such over the two main Mac s I have. Those many pictures did not present a problem for the standard user over the last week. I have changed the wallpaper. The newest factor, if such, is the installation of Picasa and its collation of quite a lot of pics.
The short version of the problem is that I click on Display in Sys Prefs and it says "loading images' then it collapses. The standard user does still retain the image set before the issue arose and keeps it through restarts and shut downs.
Now the error message. Sorry for prolixity as I don't know how to append a link or attachment. Ps this a precis of the error. Cant seem to post the full version of the error.

After OS Upgrade, System Preferences won't recognize audio input/output.
When I got an iPhone, I had to upgrade to OS 10.5.8, as well as upgrade Safari (to 4.0.3) and iTunes (to 9.0.1) for everything to run smoothly, and it does.
However, since I went though the motions last week with these upgrades, System Preferences or Utilities doesn't want to recognize my audio input/output jacks. It won't recognize when I plug in my stereo or my headphones. I hook up my computer to my stereo all the time to listen to music in the living areas of my apartment, and now I can't because it isn't reading the jack.
Any suggestions? How can I get the system to fix this problem?Check your Audio MIDI Setup settings.

Any suggestions? How can I get the system to fix this problem?Obviously, I know it has to do with my computer.
The reason I posted in the iPhone forum is because I am sure there are many other people who have had to upgrade software on their iMac to support the iPhone, and have subsequently had the same audio loss I have.
Apparently, such relevance is lost on you, although I'm not sure how it could be;-)
Thanks for your concern, in any case. -
SYstem Preferences does not recognize my iPhoto library.
I have a sort of random problem. I can reset Preferences when restarting my computer and set system preferences for my screen saver and desktop, to use my iPhoto library which is on an external USB for what I think are obvious reasons. Sometimes the iPhoto library is available and sometimes it is not. If it does not show up in the screen saver or desktop pain it is usually grey on my external drive. I just restarted my computer and got the photos I wanted, but I know from experience something will happen and they will be lost.
Locate a file named "com.apple.iApps.plist" and move it to your Desktop (for safe-keeping just in case,) then the next time you re-save your iPhoto Library, and/or change your wallpaper/screensaver settings, these should now work, and stick.
