What is the disc utility supposed to look like with a fusion drive

I have bought a brand spanking new iMac 2013 with a fusion drive. I had a bit of a glitch with the set up of boot camp. I have taken it to the apple service centre and they reformated the drive. But I am no expert but it seem as though the computer is really slow, even slower than my 2009 iMac. can any one tell me what the fusion drive should look like in the disc utility? It appears as two seperate drives!? is this right? Can some one please help me?

  • IPhone email - what is the icon (grayed location) that looks like a storage box do?

    Phone email - what is the icon  (grayed location) that looks like a storage box do?  It is on the bottom of the screen when you open a message...it is where the trash can would be?
    We put a message in there by mistake and have no idea where it went or how to retrieve it.
    Thanks,
    Annie

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • What does the straight talk iphone 4 look like when you turn it on

    i was wondering what the Apple Iphone 4 for straight talk looks like when turning it on and off. LIke does it say straight talk?

    The only thing the iPhone displays regarding the carrier is the carrier name in the status bar near the signal on the left side. The iPhone does not display anything but the Apple logo when powering up.

  • What's the Icon mean? it looks like a phone hung up with dots underneath ?

    I'm not sure what it means, but it's been bothering me because it always up there and i have no idea why it's on the left side of the battery and it looks like a phone faced down with 7 dots... 4 dots on the first row then 3 dots underneath that, this is all underneath the phone.

  • What will the ipod touch 6th generation look like

    dear whoever gets this question,
      i was really wondering what the new ipod will look like and some of its features because im really looking forward to buying it!!!!!!
                                                                                                    thanks in advance,Tye

    They don't.  They are called rumors.  Apple has said nothing about a new iPod touch, but its very likely there will be a new iPod touch since the last model was released 2 years ago.
    But other than that, we are not allowed to speculate on Apple's decisions or possibility of new products here.

  • What does the new mac mini really look like? raised or not?

    looking at the images on the mac mini page http://www.apple.com/macmini/ it clearly shows the mini with it's front edge resting on the ground in all the images from the front. the reflections touch. but when you follow the 'Design' link it shows that the new mini is resting on a raised foot, so it floats.
    i'm pretty sure the floating version is the real version, but why the inconsistency?

    it's not an optical illusion. it's just wrong in the images. i agree with the people who made the illustrations, it looks better when it's flat on the ground and not floating.
    http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/16/mac-mini-mid-2010-teardown-photos/
    that gives you a better idea of what the new mac mini looks like from the front in a similar angle to the images on apples site. notice the very large gap between the reflection and the front face of the mini. also notice the large black shadow caused by the mini being raised up on the black circular foot on it's base. There isn't an angle that you you can move the camera to that would eliminate the shadow or distance between the reflection and the case and still see the front face as you do in the images.
    it's just an odd inconsistency that misrepresents what the final product looks like.

  • What does the S10e's serial number look like

    I just had the most frustrating time calling Lenovo service about my new IdeaPad S10e.
    They tell me the serial number is not that of an IdeaPad but a Thinkpad.
    I checked the S/N on the shipping box and on the bottom of the IdeaPad and they
    match.
    The model is an: 4187-39U I pruchased it from Provantage.com but the same
    model is sold at Buy.com and other eTailers.
    My serial number looks like this:
    L#ACW#H   (where # are numbers)
    It's 7 characters long. I also check the BIOS and that matches too.
    Lenovo says IdeaPad's have 10 character S/N's.
    So at this point nobody will talk to me about a service question.
    I just want to know if I have a HD failure the recovery partition is
    useless so how do a get an OS on the replacement HD.
    God forbid that should ever happen.

    If your iPod keeps on showing it and you can't control it and make it go away then ye. But don't worry it happened to me just restore it or upgrade it sometimes putting it into dfu mode helps or connecting it to the computer

  • What are default group permissions supposed to look like?

    I'm struggling with permissions under Leopard (I understand many others are as well). My quick and dirty question is: what are the default user & group ID numbers for a fresh leopard client install?
    I've only done archive & installs lately so no longer have a test bed to compare from. Currently on one machine user id and group id (GID) are BOTH 501. I think Leopard has moved the default user IDs to 1000 (on up) and the default group ID to 20 (staff).
    When moving files between machines at one installation the group is coming across as "Unknown" from a Leopard server. Trying to Get Info on these files and unlocking the padlock in Get Info window will crash the Finder!! So I guess i'd like to change the group IDs so they're consistent on all machines. Didn't have this problem with Tiger.
    Thanks for any help!
    -MD

    OK, so followed the instructions in <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307128> and things were fine until i updated to 10.5.2. Now if I choose Get Info on a file in any external drive there is no longer a padlock under Sharing & Permissions. It only says "You can read and write" and that's it. No list of owner (Me), groups, everyone. they're not even listed anymore and the padlock is GONE!
    ls -l in Terminal gets me lists like
    drwxr-xr-x 6 steve _steve 204 Dec 8 2004 Hüsker Dü
    and ls -ln returns:
    drwxr-xr-x 6 501 501 204 Dec 8 2004 Hüsker Dü
    i don't think i like the 501 501 thing. i'd prefer 501 20 .
    anything i should be aware of before changing the group across the board to 20? (i'd also like to change the user folder from 501 501 to 501 20). should i use the dscl command, i used to try to get out of this mess before, somehow?
    Permissions under 10.5 has sadly become a real mess! reminds me of 10.0 days...

  • HT5446 If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    Additional information from Linc's post. Basically, only one additional partition can be added to a Fusion Drive and it resides on the HDD.
    Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
    Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3T hard drive for more information.

  • Is this what my printer utility is suppose to look like?

    I this what my printer utility is suppose to look like? With the printer having a red ex over it? screen shot :
    http://s558.photobucket.com/albums/ss21/jamient/?action=view&current=Picture1.pn g

    I haven't used Lexmark printers/utilities but I would say the answer is no, it shouldn't have the red cross through the print icon. However I notice that next to the icon is a drop-down menu, which has a title of Print Name. Since there is no printer showing in this menu, I would guess that this could be the cause of the red x.

  • TS1440 My hard drive is not showing up in the disc utility folder

    My computer froze and I had to turn it off via the power button.  Upon restarting, I encountered the screen with the flashing folder with a question mark. I followed the first couple steps, as well as some steps for the gray screen to no avail.  I got to the step where you inset the OS disc and start from that, but when I opened the disc utility folder, my hard drive was invisible, as if it didn't even exist. The only thing that appears is the DVD. What does this mean, and how can I make it appear?

    It means the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

  • What is the best utility for mac book pro 10.10.2

    What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.

    Nothing that is not already incorporated in OS X 10.10.2.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
