What is the Unix command line command to reformat the internal 3 tera fusion drive in my 5k retina 27 iMac ?

there seems to be problems with Yosemite and boot camp assistant
i'm cross posting this to the iMac forum but I spent hours online with apple tech today and none of the several foks I talked to there had even seen a 5k 27" yet and my call back from Cupertino and engineering is no till tomorrow so I thought I should post here too
MMy bto 5k shipped from China sunday night and arrived in Maine this morning.... Amazing when you think about it for a bto
iinstallation and set up we're going fine and I started up boot camp assistant to create  a temp boot camp while I wait for my thunder bay 4 box to take the drives for my old Mac pro when boot camp will have a1 tera SSD all to itself....
so carved off a 700 gig boot camp partition which the assistant formatted fat I then plugged is the lighting to FW adapter in a LaCie 2 tera fw 800 drive to act as a bridge to my LaCie DVD burner which uses the old fw400 cables and inserted my new shrink wrap win 8.1 retail 64 DVD and up comes the win 8 install in very tiny type in a tiny window which got a bit of a laugh out of me.
And I go through it to the point of selecting that boot camp partition and then said it could not use a fat partition and I should reformat it from the win 8.1 installer which I did and then it said it could not use and unknown partition so I said great and booted back to 10-10 and the boot camp tool to put things back and it said it could not I then went to disk tools and it also said the  3tera fusion could not be either reformatted or put back to a single partition I was on with tech support where I went up through 4 levels of support due to the 5k bto which most had no knowledge of. We tried the optioncommand r to get to DT and the same problem as did going to reinstall from the net which after a 30 min down load could not reformat either it is now kicked to Cupertino with a call back tomorrow
( At this point all I want to do is put the computer back in the condition it was in when i started with a plain Yosemite on an unpartitioned 3 tera fusion... Then deal with boot camp when it can have its own drive)
am betting it will take a Unix comand line to reformat but be aware there may be boot camp issues with my configuration
and  any help here will be great fully received

Try booting into Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, launch Disk Utility to erase the HD. If successful, reinstall the OS. If not, then return it (14 days with no questions asked) and get another machine. Apple sells it and they should know how to fix it.

  • How do I process user command line arguments inside of the Sequence Editor?

    Using TestStand 4.0, how would I go about storing "extra" command line arguments processed from the /runentrypoint command in the Sequence Editor specifically?

    djdewitt -
    TestStand 4.2 does not have this feature; however, we do have an internal issue (#163169) to track this request. You can actually get the commandline passed to the TestStand Sequence Editor using the below psuedo code in a sequence; however, currently the TestStand Sequence Editor displays a prompt when it does not recognize a custom token on the command-line and there is no way to suppress this.
    Locals.AppMgrRef = RunState.Engine.GetInternalOption(InternalOption_ApplicationManager);
    Locals.CommandsRef = Locals.AppMgrRef.CommandLineArguments;
    Locals.CountNum = Locals.CommandRef.Count;
    For i=0 to Locals.CountNum - 1
        Locals.CommandString = Locals.CommandRef.Item(i);
    End
    One suggestion is to use a batch file to write the commands to a dedicated text file and then launch the sequence editor. You can then use a sequence in the sequence editor to read from the file.
    Lastly, I just tried something and I do not necessarily recommend this, but I noticed that the Sequence Editor does not prompt when using the /goto token, so if I use the below command-line, it seems that no prompt appears, the goto command does nothing, and the psuedo code accesses the command-line tokens: 
    "C:\PathToApp\SeqEdit.exe" /goto "location tokens that do nothing" /run MainSequence "C:\PathToSequenceFile\GetCommandLineArgs.seq"
    Keep in mind that NI does not necessarily support this but it does seem to work for now.

  • Command line command for combine jpeg files into a pdf file

    I want to learn if we have any command line sentence to combine jpg files.
    normally from the windows explorer window
    i can select all jpg files and when i click on right button on the window they shows Combine supported files in acrobat and then i check if single file is selected and i clicked on combine files button.
    and then i put name of the file and press the save button.
    But i want to process this steps via command line commands.
    Can you show any answer to me.

    You don't say what version of Acrobat you are using, but I expect you could do it with Acrobat XI's Actions feature. Maybe even in 10.0. Since this is an enterprise deployment forum, I suggest you find a better forum and ask about Actions and Batch Processing.

  • Command line commands

    Is there any class in the default java SDK for executing command line commands? I've been looking in the API but have been unsuccessful so far.
    Thanks.

    when i execute the command, the process created goes for half a minute or so, but the java program just ends straight away.
    is there any way to keep the java program open as long as the process is still running?

  • HiQ doesn't execute scripts and command line commands

    I am running HiQ pro 4.5 on Windows 2000 SP 2. Whenever I enter a command line command, e.g. "1+1", HiQ reports "no error reported" and doesn't execute the command. When I enter the same command again, HiQ tells me that a semicolon is missing.
    When I try to execute a script, HiQ reports "Fatal Script error on line -1".
    Anybody knows this behaviour and how to get HiQ running normally?

    I do have the same problem.

    Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
    If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?

  • Lion Install thinks that the system disk "Macintosh HD" is not Mac OS Extended (journaled); it is. Exactly what do I do in Disk Utility to "reformat" the disk, I don't see that listed on the menus.

    Error Message, during installation of Lion; “This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Use Disk Utility to enable journaling or reformat the disk.”  The disk I selected to install OS X on, was the only one listed, “Macintosh HD”. The results of a Disk Utility check are; Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled), Name: Macintosh HD. There is a fresh Time Machine backup. The computer was Restarted and installation attempted again - same result. I have downloaded Lion a second time, and tired install again, same results. The computer is a December 2007, iMac 24” with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory, s/w version 10.7.5; Disk Capacity 319 GB, Available 117 GB. Macintosh HD has alway been the system disk, does it now have an identity crisis? Would reformatting the disk mean Erasing it? Exactly what do I do in Disk Utility to “reformat” the disk, I don’t see that listed on the menus. This computer is getting cranky, I no longer Shut Down at night, only Sleep. If it’s Shut Down, the next morning I am treated to a white screen, for a long time, before it finally shows me the Log On Screen.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

    RRFS - This took me a long time to finally get to a fix. Your reply led me to investigate the Repair Disk Partition - as it turned out there wasn't one; the HardDrive was going bad slowly. The 10 to 40 minutes it took to startup in the morning, was the HD trying to find it's way. I had the 320GB HD replaced with a 2TB HD. All is OK now. Thank You very much!!  Also, the Apple store geeks couldn't make it better but the locally owned Apple retailer did just great with it. from San Luis Obispo County - Peace.

  • Command line - two devices with the same name

    I have two identical logitech usb webcams on the same system,
    and I'm trying to use the command line to encode from each. The
    problem is that the xml profile requires the device name, but both
    devices are listed using the exact same name, so the command line
    only ever chooses one of the cameras as the source. Using the GUI,
    I can select one or the other because they both appear in the drop
    down list.
    Is there a way to specify the device index ala ActionScript,
    or another way to specify the device? I tried renaming the camera
    in the WinXP control panel, but that change was not seen by FME.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem - I tried attaching my Canopus
    ADVC 1000 adapters to different Firewire chains (motherboard and
    PCI-based) but that didn't help.

  • Sending image sequence job to compressor in command line : how to set the framerate?

    Hello,
    In Compressor, when you import a image sequence, it's possible to set the framerate and add an audio file before choosing a preset and lauching the encoding task.
    I want to dlo the same thing with command line. I know how to send a compressor job with command line, but no how to add theses settings.
    In the compressor command line help, we've got this :
    Job Info: Used when submitting individual source files. Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch
              -jobpath <url> -- url to source file.
                                               -- In case of Image Sequence, URL should be a file URL pointing to directory with image sequence.
                                               -- Additional parameters may be specified to set frameRate (e.g. frameRate=29.97) and audio file (e.g. audio=/usr/me/myaudiofile.mov).
    So there are also framerate and audio parameters in command line but i've no idea how to write the command line with theses parameters
    Here is an example of command line for Compressor (by Apple) :
    ./Compressor ‑clusterid tcp://127.0.0.1:51737 ‑batchname myBatch ‑jobpath /Volumes/Source/ShortClips/NTSC24p.mov ‑settingpath /Users/stomper10/Library/Application\ Support/Compressor/PhotoJPEG.setting ‑destinationpath /Users/machinename/Movies/myDestinationFilename.mov.
    Thank you for your help!

    You can see in the command sh running-config command
    show running-config : Displays the current access point operating configuration
    Use the guest-mode SSID configuration mode command to configure the radio interface (for the specified SSID) to support guest mode. Use the no form of the command to disable the guest mode.
    [no] guest-mode .
    Here is the guideline for usage
    The access point can have one guest-mode SSID or none at all. The guest-mode SSID is used in beacon frames and response frames to probe requests that specify the empty or wildcard SSID. If no guest-mode SSID exists, the beacon contains no SSID and probe requests with the wildcard SSID are ignored. Disabling the guest mode makes the networks slightly more secure. Enabling the guest mode helps clients that passively scan (do not transmit) associate with the access point. It also allows clients configured without a SSID to associate.
    Examples
    This example shows how to set the wireless LAN for the specified SSID into guest mode:
    AP(config-if-ssid)# guest-mode
    This example shows how to reset the guest-mode parameter to default values:
    AP(config-if-ssid)# no guest-mode

  • Passing command line JVM params into the code

    I am using a set of APIs that basically make a simple JDBC connection to an Oracle database and extract data out of it. However, the way the API has been written it requires the user to specify the Oracle driver parameter on the commad line...So to run the program you do:
    java -Djdbc.drivers=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver Test
    Is there any way I could read the -Djdbc.drivers=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver param into the code without having to include it in the command line? I am planning on making a call to the API via a servlet and not run it from a command line.
    Thank you

    There are two ways:
    1. The simplest one being to hard code the values in some variable in your code. But obviously, this is not the recomended solution since u can change the DB and so the Drivers change.
    2. Use Resource Bundle. Resource Bundle allows u to Pick Data from the Properties File(Any Text File with Name=value Pair named as <filename>.properties. Place your
    jdbc.drivers=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    in this File and then Use the Followint Code
    ResourceBundle resBun = ResourceBundle.getBundle("myapp");
    // Above Code will luk into the CLasspath for a file viz myapp.properties
    // so make sure this Directory where this file exists is within the Classpath.
    if(resBun != null)
    System.out.println("Checking Property: " + resBun.getValue("jdbc.drivers"));
    Hope this Helps.,

    > MY SELECT:select OSexec('dir') as STDOUT from dual;
    ERROR:-1command[dir] The handle is invalid.
    In the sample code, I've executed a Linux/Unix program called date, physical file /usr/bin/date.
    Is there a DATE.EXE or a DIR.EXE program that you can execute on Windows?
    No. Both DATE and DIR are commands of a program - a 32bit console program called CMD.EXE.
    Your confusion stems from thinking that OSEXEC is calling the Windows shell command line. It is not. It is not calling CMD.EXE and passing Window Shell Commands to CMD.EXE.
    OSEXEC is calling, via Java, the Win32 API call called CreateProcess(). This is a call to the Win32 kernel. It requests the kernel to load an executable program as a process image.
    The kernel expects an EXE (or executable) file to load. You are passing it a command from a program. You just as well can pass it a Java command, a MS Access Basic Command, an Excel Macro, etc... Same thing. The kernel has no idea that this "command" needs another program to be loaded, and that command be "passed" somehow to that program.
    So, you need to call CMD.EXE via OSEXEC. And you can pass parameters to it. Open a Command Console and type cmd /? for help on the command line switches and parameters for CMD.EXE.
    I believe the following should work:
    SQL> select OSEXEC( 'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c date /t') from dual;
