Trying to make RAID boot drive - but drive does not appear when starting up

Used Disk Utility to take current boot drive and put it in mirrored RAID. Did this by taking volume, placing it in RAID window, and clicking "enable".
The new drive is shown as bootable, and selectable by Startup preferences but does not work. When I hold Option key during startup, the RAID drive does not show up. Apple support offered no help and said I should get hardware card. (Will add second drive after RAID is bootable).
The 'virtual' disk for the RAID drive (disk4) seems to not be visible.

Howdy bhagon,
It sounds like the iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. Allow me to recommend this troubleshooting assistant named:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
Start at step 1 and work your way down as needed. Here is that step 1 to get you started:
Update iTunes
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. To check for available updates of iTunes on a Mac, go to iTunes > Check for Updates. On Windows, go to Help > Check for Updates.
To install iTunes, you need one of the following operating systems on your computer:
Mac: OS X version 10.6 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP
Note: If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, be sure to download the 64-bit version of iTunes.
If your computer does not meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your computer before installing iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • Want to backup my iphoto library to ext. drive, but it does not appear in the picture folder. When I select the picture folder iphoto opens, nothing to drag. Help please? 2013 iMac

    I want to back up my iphoto library to my external drive, but can't find it it in my computer's tree. When I click pictures in the tree, it launches iphoto and there is no file name or icon to drag. What am I missing? I'm sure it is simple what ever it is. Help please?

    now that you have found your iPhoto library you can drag it to the external drive to backup it up
    If you launch iPhoto does it work properly?
    However, when I tried to relocate it to the pictures folder, I get a message that I can't add the library because the folder is defective or damaged.
    Exactly what are you doing? what is the exact error message?
    And as to
    Should I trash the pref file for pictures folder and try again?
    I have no idea what you are speaking of - files and folers do not have Pref files - only applications have Pref files

    Ihave a movie stuck in itunes for 3 weeks taking up 7 gigs of memory.I deleted it from the videos app but still remains on the ipad.I also tried deleteing it from itunes on the pc but it does not appear there.Dont want to reboot the ipad if possible .Thanks

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

    Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

  • I do not manage to find the function to change a letter into exposing. I have MUSE DC 2014.2 and the menu does not display this possibility. I tried to import it IN design but that does not function either?

    I'm not clear on exactly what it is you're asking, but if you're referring to changing opacity, you can change the opacity setting for the States of a menu item via the States panel and Control Strip.

  • HT2480 My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature.  My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone.

    My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature.  My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone.  The standard signature still says "sent from my iphone" which is fine but I need desperately to change the exchange signature as the office address is incorrect.

    I have already tried that and this doesn't work.  The signature is pulling incorrectly from exchange but I don't know how.

  • When an image is inserted here using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in

    when an image is inserted here in forum po editor using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in the post. When the image is inserted from a file, it works

    Im not completely sure, why you are pointing out the very same thing I'm pointing out too. If you re-read my original post thoroughly, you will find - at its very end - the sentence "When the image is inserted from a file, it works". Since I'm not aware of the way how to insert the image from a file in a procedure other, then clicking the "camera" icon, I hold such a sentence for more then enough to point out, that the camera icon works fine for me (if you re-read my post thoroughly and pay detailed attention of my expression "using clipboard", then you shall definitely evaluate this expression as covering both ways an image can reach the cliboard, eg. Copying from a graphical editor/processor or dragging&dropping a graphical file).
    However more then this, your post does in fact NOT reply to the fact, why the WYSIWYG editor box allows the insertion of an image from clipboard, but then fails to upload it and thus it is not displayed in the post.
    For the sake of completness, I must also point out, that your last sentence of your post "And that's what it is there for" does not bring much clarity about that thing - while I fully understand, as one can observe from my "When the image...it works" sentence, the functionality, purpose and propper handling of the "camera" icon, I cannot agree with such a behaviour of the editor, that allows an operation to be done (What You See) that does not affect the outcoming result (Is What You Get).
    From the theory of designing (G)UIs one may learn, that in such a case the operation should either fulfill completly (eg. display the clipboard-inserted image in the resulting post) or fail completly in the beginning (when Pasting the image into the text), either silently (just not displaying the image in the editor field) or with an error warning such as "Insertion of images/bitmaps from clipboard is not permitted". For Windows-like environments (such as, but not limited to, Microsoft Explorer, KDE, Gnome, IceWm....) the change of the dragging cursor to display a kind of "No way" or "no entry" pictogram, is also advisable.
    For the sake of completness of my reaction I also might percieve your last sentence as a kind of irony or sarcasm, which however I definitely do not find appropriate behaviour, more over I might call it an "arogant rudeness" in case of such a "VIP" member with more then 9000 posts in the time when this post is being written, with a hint of overworking, malicous intends, inattention, ego-centricism or any other personal failure(s) or a combination of them, that you should - in case they are present - definitely pay attention to in your private life.
    Moreover, let me please point out, that Im not much pleased about the way this forum works with its users, since I find the bug I have discovered, only a small one (a category B one might say in the A-B-C scheme, eg. a category, that does not directly influence or prohibit the execution of the main business cases, however it may result in discomfort, data loss or operation repetition, such a category would be most possibly a category C in the A-B-C-D scheme). Therefore I must explicitly express my annoyance that you have the guts to handle the post I did like this, when - in my opinion - the post has been written in such a manner that it was merly a polite point out of a small bug, thus it was kept as brief as possible, but fully covering the description of the scenario, alternate scenarios and their outcomes. Moreover, I'm definitely displeased, that you allow yourself to post such a post, that - instead of exploring the matter - throws the whole matter on the head and inside-out, or, one may say, kicks the bucket, and forces the original author, in this case me, for re-accounting for himself, moreover the ambivalency of your post opens such many possibilities to account for, that the time and resources the self-accounting autor has to spent, heavily overweighting the importance, significance and impact of the bug itslef.
    So let me please advise you for the next time:
    - to explore posts with more thoroughness, evaluating their expressions and sentences much more deeply, rather then just glance through on their surface
    - think twice before answering and try to figure out how such answer might be percieved
    - try to do less posts, but with higher quality
    - try to employ more politeness and correct behaviour
    - approach the matter with more humble and curious attitude rather then with a "I-know-everyting-better" standpoint
    With regards
