Update goes to wrong drive

My external drive used to be dirve J and now it is drive K after I moved. Apple wants to update to J which throws an error. Do I need to move my external cabling ot make it J again, if possible, or can I tell the update to go to K?

When I run iTunes setup it points to installing it on Drive G. Even though I can see Drives C: D: H: and I: I can't select them.

Updates going to wrong location

when itunes is updating it tells me there is not enough room, but it is trying to load to drive "k" which doesn't exist. How do I have it load to the right drive? i have my library on my "f" external drive.

Long shot but try this.
Go to Previous Import in Grid Mode
Select all [CMD][A]
Go to All Photographs (Previous import files should remain selected)
Set the sort order in the Tool bar to Added Order (Z to A)
Your previous import should be the large block of selected items at the top.
Scroll to the last selected item and the Previous to the Previous import should be the next file.
Select it and hold down your shift key and down arrow until you reach the end of your Wordpress files
The hard part is knowing how far to go to select the files from there. Hopefully there is an obvious break that will clue you in.

App Store: application updates going to former drive

Hi,
I installed 10.8.1 on my drive 2, while I had 10.7.4 installed on my drive 1.
My mac is now booting by default (startup drive) on drive 2.
But when I get application update notification in the App Store, and updates my apps, they get updated on drive 1.
Any explanation/workaround for this?
Yann

App Store uses Spotlight to find installed applications. If your old drive is mounted and visible, then App Store may happen to pick that drive to update.
Two solutions occur to me:
(a) Disable Spotlight for the old drive. This will prevent searching for files on that drive (unless you use third party tools like EasyFind).
To do this, while booted from your Mountain Lion drive, go into System Preferences > Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, then click the + button, select the old drive in the sidebar and click the Choose button (or you can drag the drive icon into the Privacy window).
(b) Unmount the old drive before running App Store to check for updates.
You can use Disk Utility to mount and unmount drives. If you have the drive icons on the desktop, you can also drag the icon for the old drive to Trash to unmount it (you can use Disk Utility to mount it again).
The catch with this method is that App Store is likely to be notifying you of pending updates for apps it can see at times you do have the old drive mounted, so it may end up with a permanent red badge showing that you have updates available.

Trying to install iTunes, going to wrong drive and won't insall

Trying to install iTunes on my work laptop at home. I want it installed on my hard drive. I had loaded it a couple of weeks ago, and put all the tunes and folders on a network drive at work, called the j drive. Now, it seems to default to the j drive - when I try to install now, it errors out as invalid drive j:/ or whatever. I removed iTunes and deleted all the folders off Windows, didn't help.
How can I get it loading to the c drive instead of j? It doesn't give you a destination option when running it!

Well, finally stumbled on the answer, or at least I think the answer, in the installation problems tab on this site. I had to download tweakUI from Powertoys and relocate the default my music folder to the c drive from the j drive. When I reinstalled iTunes, I am able to unplug my computer from the network and still have iTunes come up and work. Which I couldn't do before.
It's also a fix for the error coming up at can't find my music folder.

ITunes/iPod set up goes to wrong drive in windows

For various reasons I have to reload the iTunes set up. I downloaded the latest version. I deleted the old version of iTunes (version 6 something.) Now when I try to set it up it is pointing to a drive (G) that I have disabled. I am runing Windows XP on a Sony VIAO laptop with two WD 500G hard drives (H and I drives.) I tried to delete all reference to iTunes, I disabled the G drive.
I would appreciate any thoughts on what to try next.
Thanks

When I run iTunes setup it points to installing it on Drive G. Even though I can see Drives C: D: H: and I: I can't select them.

Hello gogreenj14,
If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Click the Add This Computer button.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

File in wrong drive.

location of file is on wrong drive. Says F drive, but really on C after downloading. Then it says missing file and then I cannot reconnect.

Have you gotten into Computer/Manage/Disk Management to explore the drives set up fuller?
I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, no Windows 32 bit. But, I am assuming that the route to the Disk Management is the same as I have indicated. What exactly is the problem when you go to access the drives information in Disk Management. No response to clicking on Disk Management to open the view or something else?
Let us back up a bit....
1. Before connecting camera to computer, you go to Computer and view the computer's drives there - what do you see - under Hard Disk Drives and Devices with Removable Storage? Just C and F? After you make a USB connection between the camera and the computer, what do you see in Computer for the drives C and F or C, F, and something else?
Details....
The camera is connected to the computer and to that Photo Downloader dialog via a USB connection.
When you do that, the camera folder should be represented as a removable disc in Computer with a Windows determined/assigned drive
letter. And, if you use the Premiere Elements/....../Photo Downloader dialog route, that drive letter should be available to you in the Source field of
the Photo Downloader dialog.
What I am suspecting is the following - when you made the camera computer USB connection, Windows gave the letter F to that Camera Folder and bumped it off the mirrored F drive, perhaps giving it another letter.
So please let us get into Disk Management. What goes unexplained with this theory is how you can save the import to F drive if the Save In of the Photo Downloader is set to a C location.
We will be watching for your reply.

Updating nvidia 8800 GS driver in win xp-32 bit

I was able to update my driver to version 180.48 and to version 180.84 using the official nvidia drivers for the 8800 GS. And both seem to work fine, both recognize the specifications of a 8800M GTS apart from the name.
I was unable to update using the official 8800M GTS driver (for those who do not know the 8800 GS in a imac is supposedly a 8800M GTS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce8_Series#8800GS)
And if you look at this document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1999 you will notice that the name of the driver is 8600M GT.
There is an option on the nvidia driver download site that scans your computer to tell you which graphic card you have: 1st time I it told me that I had a 8800M GTS then every time after that it told me that I had a 8800 GS.
So which graphic card is it?
If I'm using the wrong driver how come it works?
If I'm using the wrong driver am I losing performance?
This may be connected to the issue maybe not in anycase it's strange: ff you go to http://www.nvidia.com/page/apple.html the title of the page is: "NVIDIA GPUs Power Apple MacPro and iMac" but within the page it only mentions "NVIDIA GPUs Power Apple Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and Apple TV" nothing about nvidia and iMac whereas it is in the title of the page!

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

Mac App Store updating apps on _other_ drive :-(

A little background first - wanted to not just jump right in in upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.0), so I got (same brand) external USB HD, formatted it, installed Mountain Lion on that. (With some assistance from Apple Support...) I have moved most all my apps and documents over to the (external) ML drive (500GB). Also have many apps bought through MAS and installed on the ML-500 external drive. When I want to use ML, I boot up from it; other times, I will boot up with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on the internal drive (320GB) to use a few apps where I haven't had all their docs transmogrified to 10.8-compatible apps. Most of the time now, things have been workable and fine.
In the past couple of days, I have discovered that apparently when I had logged into the MAS to update my ML-compatible apps, the MAS (unbeknown to me) updated the older (10.6.8-compatible) apps I had there, including iWork '08 (which had been updated as far as 10.6.8 updates would take them).
So now, it appears (since version numbers are the same for the Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps between the two OS drives) that I have (non-10.6.8-compatible) apps on the Snow Leopard (internal) drive, that won't run when I start up with 10.6.8. The icons on the 10.6.8 drive for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote (which were inside an iWork '08 folder, inside the Applications folder, on the internal/10.6.8 drive) have the 'not' circle and line across them when I view them running from the Mac OS X 10.6.8 (internal) drive. Haven't checked other MAS-downloaded 10.6-compatible purchased apps, so there may be more 'over-updated' apps...
I know that I have my original iWork '08 DVD (and likely, can go back through my Time Machine backups to try to find my latest versions under 10.6.8) and can re-install (and then install all the updates since then under 10.6.8) to get them back, but I would think - since OS X install discs check a drive for the system version number before installing - that MAS would be setup to FIRST check what the OS X version for a drive with Pages/Numbers/Keynote/other Apple non-system apps, before installing a version over an app (that renders it useless for that version of OS X).
Even though I can possibly (with much time/updates/re-installs) get my earlier apps back on the internal drive, my concern is - how can I stop MAS from once again 'over-updating' those apps? If the MAS can check and tell me that an app I want to download requires 10.7 or 10.8, it would seem to make equal sense for it to check first whether I have (on different drives) 10.6.8 and 10.8 versions of the same app, and ONLY update the most recent one, NOT all of them.
Makes me wonder if Apple thinks that NO ONE out here is running separate partitions or drives with different operating systems for different app needs. I am very sure that there are specfic-market applications out there that companies, laboratories and others need to get tasks done (and for which there is not yet so far a Lion or Mountain Lion-compatible version), so those people/companies/etc. are likely running different OS partitions or startup drives. So WHY does the MAS not check first? Or more importantly, is there some way to stop/limit the updates so ONLY one drive gets updated?

Hello Dahveed, thank you for your answer but this is not good at all. These are not core applications. For instance i want all my games to be on external Hard drive (for instance X3 is about 8 Gb). For having my home folder on external HD this is not good at all too.
Why i should change my way to work and manage my files just for a logical problem ?
Furthermore, the Mac App Store app detects i have the application already installed even if it is on external HD, so there are only 2 solutions : there is a bug into the mac app store application for managing apps OR this is pretty bad for users to have the apps sequestrated into the home folder.
You can see even iTunes with the music rights management system is able to let you have musics managed by user.
Do you have another solution ?
Thank you

Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive...SMC 1.3

Hi all !

This morning I saw the update for the SMC firmware (1.3).
Before restarting, I have this error :

Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partiton or RAID scheme.
When I went into Disk Utility in order to check, here is what I have =

I thought Boot Camp could be involved becauseI know it's the only thing related to the EFI.
I searched on internet, and Ifound nothing. There was a solution in order to reset the partition table, but the tool is no longer available. The link on on the application explains that I have to reformat my macbook pro. I find a bit weird to make this , I can't spend hours for backup / restore just because the SMC update does not work. have you any lead for me ?
Thanks ,

Have you tried this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

I have updated my phone to 4.3.3 and I was told there would be more bells and whistles. I haven't found more texting sounds. Have I updated my phone wrong or just not completed it all the way? Please help me. Still trying to figure this iphone 3G out.

You have the iPhone 3GS, not the 3G. The last update to support the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
iOS 4.3.3 includes bug fixes etc. There is nothing really special about this update that wasn't introduced in iOS 4.3. iOS 5 is the one to wait for - it will be released in the Autumn/Fall and includes over '200' new features/improvements.
The additional text tines and ringtones were an iPhone 4-only feature.

How Do I Install an OSx Update on a Remote Drive?

Hi,
I run my OSx on a Remote Pegasus RAID and use this as my startup disk.
I have found that since Yosemite came along that even routine updates will crash the OS and then require a complete OS download.
I think that this can be solved if I boot from my internal iMac drive and do the update install from that drive with my External drive as the target.
So the question is:
How do I download an Update and then launch it and Pick which drive it installs on?
Rather than click the button from the Apps Store and have it do everything autically?
Thanks for any help!

Your link worked great. My OS is now at 10.10.3. However the Apps Store still thinks that I need to update? How do I tell the Apps store that I'm at this rev but installed remotely?
Thanks!

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem - H430

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem (USB?) - H430
my lenovo H430 is about 6 months old - worked okay with preinstalled Windows 8
After update to Windows 8.1 computer no longer seemed to work well at all, although I am unable to provide hard evidence, but clearly it was not working as smoothly as in the previous 8 version with lots of irritating little problems - including sound.
One thing that very clearly was not functioning as it had in 8 version was the USB disconnect icon. In 8 you only had to click on icon and the USB selection window would open immediately. Additionally all USB connections would be shown - back and front USB. Select the USB to be disconnected and it would be disconnected immediately (providing not in use). After update to 8.1 this was no longer the case.
In 8.1 disconnect icon no longer worked as it had done in 8. After clicking on icon there was now always a lengthy pause, followed by the sound of the computer working (whirring sound) and then after a while the USB selection window would finally open. Sometimes it was necessary to click on icon a few times to get any reaction at all. A small MP3 player I had charged up on my computer every morning (front USB) in windows 8, was always in USB list, and disconnected without problem in 8. In 8.1 it was no longer in list and only charged sporadically (would stop charging, but if I clicked on USB icon it would start charging again - although still not shown in USB list).
After about two weeks of 8.1 my screen suddenly - but only briefly - went black twice. I ran a sfc /scannow. problems were found but could not be resolved. I did a Dism /Online/Clean-Image/RestoreHealth this was reported as being successful. About two days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD - "critical-services-failure" - from which I was unable to get out of. The only option open was the Lenovo restore option. Computer was returned to factory state with los of all data.
back to Windows 8 the computer once again worked okay - no problems - and USB icon once again worked correctly (including with MP3 player).
About 2 weeks later after receiving MS messages to update to 8.1 I called Lenovo support and asked about update to drivers for 8.1.
the following list was given:
Chipset: Intel chipset Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version : 9.4.0.1022
Video: CPP2 AMD DISCRETE VGA CARD DRIVER for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 13.152
Audio: Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.1.7030
LAN: Realtek Lan Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 8.018.0621.2013
STORAGE: Intel RST Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop Version: 12.8.0.1016
I updated to 8.1 and then updated all the above drivers (no USB driver update was available).
The same problems as the last update to 8.1 and USB was as bad as it was in last 8.1
Some days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD once again - although this time did not stay stuck there, and quickly restarted - due to speed of restart I did not get time to read all the text and discover the cause of BSOD.
Computer is still running badly - particularly the USB icon disconnect.
Called Lenovo support but they have been no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenovo are failing us with the 8.1 update and the DRIVERS FOR 8.1
BSOD
all i could find was this: (probably refers to after BSOD - the restarting part after BSOD???)

I have now seen the suggestion by Tomaspoko and Brillow at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Windows-8-1-update-S440-ThinkPad-black-screen-wit...
Despite the AMD driver giving an error during install at the last stage of the suggested fix, this has now yielded a working switchable graphics for my S540 for the first time with Windows 8.1. Catalyst Control Center also works for the first time, so thank you to both the above-mentioned posters for a solution that does work.
Hopefully in time AMD will release a non-broken updated AMD driver and CCC package.
Thanks again for a nice solution from this forum - the problem was driving me nuts!

Updating of firmware for drive Optiarc DVD Rw AD-5680H

updating of firmware for drive Optiarc DVD Rw AD-5680H
it seems compulsory since burning of DVD Verbatim disks are failed
but successful with Verbatim DVD -RW
Mac Mini ,Mountain Lion etc
the drive of my PowerBook Pro
works well
Mashita DVD -R UJ -868
where can I find and download this updafe
THKS

Failure with one type of optical media and not another -- even from the same manufacturer -- is not unusual. DVDs and DVD-RWs use different dies that respond to different lasers in the optical drive. There are numerous other possibllities here.
It would not be unusual if the write laser for DVDs has burned out but the DVD-RW is still working becasue they use entirely separate lasers of a different intensity and frequency.
It may be the dyes used in a particular lot of Verbatim DVDs are not quite compatible with the DVD lasers in your drive (that is independent of DVD-RWs because they use different lasers.
Because of manufacturing variations your drive may burn other brands of DVD blanks flwlessly, but just won't work with Verbatim DVD blanks.
The DVD Read/Write lasers in your drive may simply be dirty.
Changing/updating the firmware in an optical can be done, but there is a definite risk of converting the optical drive into something useful only as a paper weight.
Try another brand of DVD blank or even a different model Verbatim. (I have seen cases where discs from a different manufacturing lot from the same vendor worked when another failed.)
If you are using DVD-R blanks try a DVD+R (there again different lasers are involved.
It is tricky to clean slot loading optical drives, but sometimes simply blowing them out with short bursts of canned air will work. Be sure the computer has been powered down for a good while and the optical drive is completely cooled. Then use only short bursts of air to prevent super cooled liquid air from getting into the drive. That can easily crack the lenses if you aren't careful.
If your Mac mini is less than a year old or you have Apple Care, get an appointment and take it to the Genius Desk of the nearest Apple store. If you aren't covered under warranty a bus powered external optical drive very probably costs less than the labor charge to diagnose the issue with your drive.
