When i plug in my atv 2 into my mac pro 10.9 by micro usb the white light dose not come on why???

When i plug in my atv 2 into my mac pro 10.9 by micro usb nothing happens. in all the videos i have watched the light should come on with out the power cord. Well mine docent and i have restored it.

David,
I am not sure why they are crashing the computer, but you definiately want to be careful with an external RAID 1. Here is what I would try first in your scenerio:
1. Reset the drives somehow. Obviously you can't do this on the iMac, maybe by formating them one at a time on a PC.
2. Plug these drives in through a USB hub (possibily even a powered hub) since you can't connect the drives through each other. Then before you connect the hub to the mac, you should have the drives fully spun up (in manual power mode, switch on the back) and the hub and on before connecting it to the Mac. This way, both drives have a higher chance of appearing simulteanously to the Mac reducing any need for rebuilding because of out-of-sync issues.
3. I'd then follow the steps in this article to reformat the drives for your iMac again:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/raidmirror.htm
I've never attemepted a RAID 1 on external drives so you'd have to let me know how this goes.
If all else fails, you could jump in on an order the school makes with the following company and get an enclosure to tranfer your drives into. We have at least three of these enclosures at school, we are running one in RAID 1 and the other two in a RAID 0 configuration.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but while (or until) you try to solve it you might want to stop iPhoto from automatically opening when you connect your iPhone. To do so open the 'Image Capture.app here:
Applications > Image Capture.app
With your iPhone connected, change the setting to 'No application' in the bottom of the Image Capture panel.

I am using the G Drive Slim to back up my files, but I don't know how to tell if or when it is finished. The white light does not change, flicker, go out, etc. When is it finished?

The whole story: The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012. I purchased a new hard drive and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive. Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice. BUT I really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate. How can you tell when it is finished? I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done. Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything. The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering. Nothing. Thanks for help.

are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

This morning when I turned my macbook pro on, an alarm sound came from my computer and a thin, short line of light was flashing next to the pulsing light that did not come on. The pulser light has not come on at all today.

This morning an alarm sound accompanied by a flashing thin light happened when I turned on my macbook pro. Now the pulser light is not coming on at all and there is a steady thin light to the left of the pulser that stays on when I close my laptop. Does anyone know what may have happened?

>an alarm sound accompanied by a flashing thin light<
That seems like a memory problem.

HT2844 When I plug my LED cinema display into my macbook Pro, the video switches automatically but the audio still plays via the macbook speakers by default. Is there any way to make the audio default to the display audio when plugged in?

Hi,
Pretty much as the tital says really. I'm fed up of having to manually select my audio output every time I plug my macbook pro into me LED display. Can I make it default the audio to the display when plugged in?

yeah- I think so, AlexGrady. see if your machine supports hdmi audio out, it should say under "about this mac"
then buy the correct adapter to your LED display. I think you also have to enable audio out via HDMI, and the adapter has to support HDMI audio passthrough
sorry, that's all I have for now

oh, and this forum is for Mac Pro's (just sayin')

My ATV is not displaying on my TV. My network is working, my software is up to date, ATV turns on and the white light does not flash. I have recycled all my equipment and it is still not responding. All the settings are correct as well. I am puzzled.

My ATV is suddenly not displaying on my TV. My network and Internet connections are all working, my software is up to date, the ATV white light is on steadily, all my settings are correct and I have power cycled all my equipment. Is there something more I can do, or is it possible my ATV needs repair?

it might
for my appletv to display on my tv I have to choose the hdmi port i have connected to as input source

before taking it back you should also test with another hdmi port and another tv (friend of family) to verify that it is indeed broken

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Hello, joegoducks.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect.

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect. I can hear a beep but that's it. I checked all of my USB cords and the same results. Normally it would download my new pictures and start charging and that no longer happens. When I plug my wall charger in the phone charges.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.
