Can someone help me with this? Im running OS X 10.8.3

If your Mac has an internal DVD drive you must use it to install Windows, USB installation is only supported on Macs that lack the internal drive.

  • Disk not an option

    I just recently purchased two (2) CSS11501 for load balencing. I just took them out of the box and started to configure them, but I can't get past the offdm screen even after a reboot. Also, when I try to set my primary boot config, I only get options for (N)etwork, (F)tp, or (C)lear. Where is my (D)isk option?

    If disk is not an option, then there is no image on the disk.
    1) FTP would be a good choice, as it will upgrade the CSS in the process and could set it to boot to disk as part of the process
    2) If that fails, you may have a bad disk. If the FTP fails, open a TAC case for further assistance.
    To FTP boot, you will need an image (ending with "adi.gz" or "adi") on an FTP server. Just set it to FTP boot and the CSS will prompt you for the FTP information.
    Hope that helps

  • Time Machine disk not showing up in Migration Assistant

    I have backed up my Snow Leopard with Time Machine and I'm trying to import my stuff into Lion using Migration Assistant. However, my Time Machine disk is not showing up in Migration Assistant even though it's connected and shows in Finder. Any idea why?

    I couldn't migrate from Snow Leopard drive either -- Snow Leopard used PGP encyption, migration copied the files, but they seem inaccessible to Lion with "permission denied" errors.
    It sounds like you did migrate successfully. It's normal for the permissions to be wrong -- Migration Assistant creates a new account with the files from the old one.
    What I would do in your place is start over. First, decrypt the SL volume and uninstall PGP. You should do that anyway, because PGP is a turkey and not needed in Lion. Erase the Lion volume (assuming you have no data on it that isn't already on your SL volume), reinstall Lion, and then use Setup Assistant, not Migration Assistant, to do the migration.

  • AEBSn + USB disk, not visible in Windows

    Have been using AEBSn as access point for last 6 months. Now added a LaCie MacMini drive via the USB port on AEBSn but am unable to access it via the LAN. I know this is a common problem and have checked the settings described in some of the responses to no avail.
    The disk is formatted as HFS and can be accessed using MacDrive when directly attached to PC. The disk name is currently "Lemon" (so no funny characters).
    AEBSn has latest firmware (7.2.1), the disk is visible under "disks" on the Airport Utility, file sharing is enabled with base station password, guest access is read & write and disks are advertised globally using Bonjour.
    I have tried to access from three different PCs. The latest Bonjour (1.0.4) is loaded and is enabled in firewall (AVG in 2 and Windows in other). From Windows Explorer I can see the AEBS (properties shows it as a CIFS server) but it has no folders. The Airport Disk Agent is running in the system tray but does not detect any disks.
    Please help, my central back strategy is in ruins!

    Hi, I just got my usb disk working!
    I got Airport Extreme (the latest one), all the firmware updates (7.2.1) one pc with WINXP. A 500Gb USB disk from Packard Bell. I want to connect the drive to the Airport and serve files over the wireless.
    my trouble was that while I could see the disk in airport utility, I could not actually connect: wrong password, user etc.
    As the disk is visible in Airport Utility and the Extreme station is visible in the disk management utility in the status bar, I concluded that there must be a problem outside of the Airport Extreme. Indeed, this I found to be in my network settings, which I easily fixed by installing Microsoft Client for Networks. Practically I did this by Start>Network settings right click Properties. then selected the wireless network right click properties once more. Under the General tab I checked for the presence of Microsoft Client for Networks, it wasn't there so on the same screen I click Install.. select Clients and fianlly Microsoft Client for Networks. Bingo.
    I hope this helps, I spent a whole day looking around in this forum and no one has suggested this. So I do and wish you good luck! (now to see if I can get the music onto my Airport Express!!!)

  • ExFAT external usb disk not working in Lion?

    Hi, I used to be able to read/write to an external usb disk, exFAT formatted, using Snow Leopard.
    Since upgrading to Lion I can't seem to be able to find the disk anymore on the desktop/finder. When I go into Disk Utility it sees it but thats pretty much all it will do. Anyone knows of this issue or how to fix it?
    Thanks
    Richard

    I am encountering a similar issue where I can read but not write to an exFAT volume (connected over FireWire 800) in the Finder.  While I don't know of a fix, opening a Terminal and using CP to move files seems to work.

  • Only Certain files on USB disks not recognized

    Hi all:
    At first, my macbook was unable to recognize some files in 2 particular folders on my usb disks (Western Digital 250 and 500)... then, following an update, they now seem to be working fine.
    Since, I have added a Windows XP desktop directly to the router (wired)... the Windows desktop will not read the information in the same 2 folders. You can see the folders and click on them, but the information inside the folders does not display... Other folders on the same disks work fine.
    Both are disks are FAT32 formatted... the folders are large and contain videos.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks...

    Many people seem to be having this problem. What seems to help is plugging in the disk into the AEBS and created a new empty folder. Then plug it into your windows machine. Copy everything that was in the root of the drive to that new folder. Plug it back into the the AEBS and everything should show up now. I know it is a pain in the ***, but this seems to work...

  • Hard disk not detected after formatting bootcamp partition

    I am using rEFIt (with OSX, Fedora 13, and Windows7) on my MacBook. I formatted the BootCamp partition (Windows7) using DiskUtility because I wanted to revert back to WindowsXP. After reformatting I rebooted my MacBook but I cannot get to see the rEFIt options. I used the Installation DVD that came with the MacBook, opened DiskUtility and I cannot see my hard disk on the available disks. Need help badly... Thanks!

    The tests from the Assistant are not as comprehensive or reliable as the full hard drive test in the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up, go in there and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what is says. It is not unusual for hard drive issues to start as intermittent and gradually get more frequent. If your drive passes the long form test you can fairly safely assume it was a one-time gremlin of some sort, but it is still a real good idea to back up. I like the idea of the online backup services and I will name Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and an external drive is also a good idea.
    You cannot put off a reboot forever; you are going to have to confront the issue at some point.

  • TM Disk not showing up in Migration Assistant

    Hey guys,
    So I have a 1 Tb Lacie harddrive that has 3 partitions. 1 small one for windows transfers, 1 mac formatted disk and 1 dedicated to Time Machine.
    I back up everything except the Movies and Downloads folders.
    I have a new imac at my disposal and wanted to use Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my macbook using the Time Machine backup. I attach the drive to the imac, all 3 partitions mount. I start up MA but when selecting which drive to use the backup from I can't selected any of the attached drives as they do not show up as options. All I see is the HD of the iMac itself (with 0 Kbs size).
    I tried repairing the disk but that didn't help. What could be the problem? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks all,
    Rob

    AFAIK, you can only do that on the new machine's first boot. Boot with the install disc that came with the iMac, erase it's HD with Disk Utility, and then restore the machine. Details are described by launching the Installation Instructions.app inside the installer's Installation folder. Then, hook up the ext HD, and on first boot, restore from the TM backup.

  • USB disk not recognized

    I just plugged in my external usb3 disk, and nothing appeared in /dev. I tried plugging it into a usb2 port, still nothing. When I did the same on an Ubuntu box, it worked. Also, it is listed in lsusb. Just not in /dev, so I can't mount it. Why is this? Is there any way to make it appear?
    PS: I'm rather new to Arch, so I don't know that much.

    CrazyTux wrote:That did it! Why? Is it a common problem?
    So embarrassed that I didn't try rebooting
    To expand on Grant's comment.  It really is not a problem; at least it is not a systemic problem.   As Arch is designed to run on a wide variety of hardware, we cannot build a custom kernel that contains all the drivers for a given computer.  What is more, it is impractical to build in every module for every USB device that may be encountered by a given computer.  As such, Arch, like most distributions, use dynamically loaded kernel modules.  Those modules have a one to one correspondence with a given kernel.  When you update a kernel in a running system, the modules for the new kernel replace the modules for the old kernel in /lib.  In the mean time, the old kernel is the one that is remains running until the next reboot.   
    After you replaced your kernel modules, but did not reboot, you inserted a USB device.  The kernel probably noticed; you can tell by looking at the output of dmesg.  The kernel then would have tried to find its modules, but they are gone, having been replaced with the modules for a different kernel.
    Rebooting pulls in the new kernel which is able to use the new modules.
    So the 'problem' exists between the keyboard and chair (PEBKAC)

  • HFS+ formated USB Disk not visible under Windows 7

    Hello.
    I recently purchased an APE and hooked a 4TB HFS+ drive via USB on it. Unfortunately it's not visible under Windows7. Though if I use a Fat32 formatted drive i'm able to access it. I even have macdrive installed. The drive is working properly if connected to the PC or MAC manually.
    Please help

    Hello exalderan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    FWIW. I currently have an external USB drive (NewerTech miniStack) connected to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). I can access it from Windows 7 (Ultimate) from either a dedicated Windows PC or from a Parallels VM running Windows 7 without any issues. The 2 TB drive is formatted in HFS+.
    What type of errors are you getting?

  • USB Device Not Recognized

    Operating system:  Windows Vista
    Error:  USB Device not recognized
    While actively on the computer, we suddenly got a message stating that the USB Device was not recognized.  The only thing plugged in to the USB port was a mouse.  Tried all the ports, same message.  Tried another mouse, same thing.  Tried a thumb drive, and low and behold, 2 of the 3 USB ports worked.  Tried a URL from MS which is supposed to help with this exact problem and possibly fix it:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with-USB-devices 
    This didn't work.
    Contacted HP support and they wanted me to restore back to a restore point as well as updating my BIOS.  After searching the issue more extensively using Google, I found that several people said to do this:
    Shut down the computer
    Remove the power plug
    Remove the battery
    Put the battery back in
    Power up the computer (without the power plug)
    This forces a hard reset.
    Almost as if by magic, the problem disappeared.  A much simpler and less technical solution to the problem than what HP recommended!!!!

  • Import photo from recent disk not connected: LR gets waiting forever.

    Steps:
    1) Import photos and video.
    2) On the right I  find the recent destination directories.
    3) I select one of them referring a USB disk NOT currently connected.
    4) I run import.
    PROBLEM: The program shows the progress bar but then nothing more happens: it waits forever (of course for the missing disk).
    I am not sure this should be defined a bug, but LR could inform the user of what is waiting for.
    Regards.
    Mauro

    If you're looking at the image off the card in loupe mode, of course it's going to be slow going from image to image. It has to read the whole image off the card each time. If you want to examine images in detail before importing them, it would work lots better to download the entire card to a folder on disk and then import your images from that folder.

  • BootCamp Assistant Error : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."

    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate .iso file saved onto a "Mac OS Extended (Journal)" formatted USB flash drive. I am trying to install it with BootCamp Assistant and I keep getting the error message : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."
    I have previously installed Windows 7 on my Mac (and it worked flawlessly - same .iso file), but I uninstalled it because I didn't partition enough space on my hard drive. I have used several flash drive to try and install and none have worked.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.
