What packages to install, and how to install in an USB hard drive

Hello.
Well, as I said in another thread, I want to install in an USB hard drive. But I don't know how, because it hasn't graphical installer, but text installer. I tried in a virtual machine, and it was fine, but when I want to start it, an error appears, "Was not found a bootable system" or something. Maybe a VM is not as a computer, but... well. I didn't change anything while I was installing GRUB, and I know that I've to install it in /dev/sdb.
And I want to know too, what packages to install and what packages don't (the ones which are neither "base" nor "base-devel"). But I'll install sudo, links and ndiswrapper (for wifi).
Thanks, and excuse me if my English is bad.

Gotta use the wiki my friend and this one is even translated into Spanish:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … C3%B1ol%29
As to your question about which packages you'll need beyond those in base and base-devel - that depends on what you want on your system... no one can answer that but you!
Welcome to Arch.

How to i get my usb hard drive to auto show on desk top

Hi
I have a small business and so multiple macs with 1 single external hard drive for storage
One of the Macs automatically connects to the USB hard drive when the mac starts up in a morning, whereas with the others you have to search for the shared drive and manually connect to it.
We have now changed to a new hard drive and would like all the Macs to automatically link in the morning and so wondered how this is done. Also the older mac is now still looking for the old drive and I cant stop it!
Hope this makes sense?
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Michael

You need to find the IP of that drive.
If they in fact do show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.

How burn .dmg on a USB Hard Drive?

Is there a third party program out there where I can burn a dmg file onto a USB Hard Drive and make it bootable?

Try mounting the dmg, and then using an application such as SuperDuper to clone it to the hard disk.

How do I access a USB hard drive plugged into my AirPort Extreme from a PC?

Hi
I have an AirPort Exteme, and my cousin and I are having no trouble accessing it from our MacBook Pro, however when it comes to my other cousin, she can't find it fron her PC (operating on windows 7). When the MacBook Pro's open finder it is just sitting under 'shared'. How do I get my cousin to access the Hard Drive from her PC? She is connected to the Wi-Fi network just fine
Thanks in advance!

Download the Airport utility for PC from Apple - I use this to connect - This should load the Airport Base Station Agent in the system tray which can be used to connect. It should appear as a Network Drive (Z:)

Leopard - how do I share a USB Hard Drive on the Network

Hi All, All my media is on a USB2 hard drive on my iMac (bedroom PC). I'd like to share the videos with a mac mini running Leopard, which is in the living room. I've shared the folder, enabled file sharing in system preferences, but for some reason, am not being able to see the shared folder on any of my other macs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I totally agree. It was frustrating that it would add to the sharing list just like any other folder and say it's shared but then not appear on the network on other computers.
Another thing I have noticed when I share a folder on a fat32 drive is that the permissions it displays are different. It will display "Daniel Read & Write" twice and then "Everyone Read", while when I share a folder on a MAc OS Extended (Journaled) drive it displays "Daniel Read & Write", "Users Read" and "Everyone Read". So perhaps this has something to do with it. I did have a quick play and change the permissions to read & write for everyone and still no joy.
I also tried connecting to my imac from my macbook as Daniel which gave me network access to every folder on my imac (even if not shared) but still the FAT32 drive did not appear, but the Journaled one did. I will carry on playing with this but I do think it is a bug in the OS. I never got round to trying this on Tiger, do you know if it was fine there?

How do I Use my Old Hard Drive as a Portable Drive to Transfer and Back Up

Hi
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find another topic area.
So I recently upgraded my hard drive on my Macbook to a 300gb from an 80gb and now I want to use the 80gb as an external drive like a USB pen (it's already in an enclosure so I can plug it in via USB)
What I don;t understand is how I can clear the hard drive of the stuff I backed up from my computer and How i can keep updating the hard drive without the information on it being erased.
I am looking to be able to transfer movies and music from my brothers iMac to my Macbook and vice versa as well as storing some word documents on it.
Any help will be gravelly appreciated.
Thanks!

You should be able to do a complete reformat in Disk Utility. The utility calls this "erase" and gives you the choice of format. You might use MS-DOS (FAT32) if you want to swap files with PCs, but there a 4GB file limitation, which I've run across with large archived DVD images. Normally people use HFS+ if it's exclusively going to be used in the Mac enviroment.

It would be a great idea to uninstall Norton - you don't need it and it has a pretty poor reputation for mucking up otherwise healthy Macs.
Have a look at this User Tip from klaus1: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
To uninstall Norton:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Edit: To see whether you actually have Norton installed launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. If it's installed you'll likely see some Norton entries there.
Also, in System Preferences>Users & Groups or Accounts, depending on OS)>Login Items, it might be listed.

HT1925 I receive error code 2349 when trying to install iTunes. Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

receive error code 2349 when trying to install iTunes. Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

It's a better bet with a 2330, but the first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient. Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help and providing this link. I'd actually already looked at that before, but I don't understand how it clarifies what the default identity store is. The relevant part is this, if I understand correctly:
OPSS initializes the identity store service with the LDAP authenticator chosen from the list of configured LDAP authenticators according to the following algorithm:
1.    Consider the subset of LDAP authenticators configured. Note that, since the context is assumed to contain at least one LDAP authenticator, this subset is not empty.
2.    Within that subset, consider those that have set the maximum flag. The flag ordering used to compute this subset is the following:
    REQUIRED > REQUISITE > SUFFICIENT > OPTIONAL
    Again, this subset (of LDAPs realizing the maximum flag) is not empty.
3.    Within that subset, consider the first configured in the context.Step (1) will match 2 external AD's and the built-in WLS LDAP, so 3 in total.
Step (2) will still match 3 in total, as they are all 'sufficient'. In my setup, I need them all to be 'sufficient'.
Step (3) is a step I don't understand. What is "the first configured in the context"? What context? Do they mean the one that was first created? In that case I can't change the default, right?
Or do they mean "the first in the list on the WLS Console"?
Best regards,
Ludovic
