Windows backup not being seen after server failure windows 2012

Running Lenovo thinkserver with Raid 5 with 4 drives and Server 2012 Standard Had 2 drives go at the same time so had to reconfigure and reinstall everything, all data lost. It was under warranty so the tech came out and replaced 1 drive and am currently
waiting for the 2nd drive. So currently am running a 3 disk Raid 5. I used windows backup to create full backups and now when I try to restore from that backup, it just hangs and hangs and hangs and won't find the backups. THe backup is stored on Seagate Expansion+
3TB drive. I know there are some issues with these (which apparantly I didn't know) but I have to get this backup off and installed somehow, I can't handle resetting up the entire system. Please help, I am desperate!

Hi,
By default we should restore BMR to the original device or a device with same hardware. Since you currently running a 3 disk Raid 5, you need to add another disk to the Raid 5 to restore BMR to a same hardware.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
How to: Bare Metal Restore of SBS2008 to different hardware with a different RAID controller?

Airport Express not being 'seen' after configuration in Windows

I thought I would start my own thread on this, I had put this as a reply to someone elses before.
I have a Gen1 Airport express being used to play music through our stereo system throughout the house. It was working perfectly until I replaced my dead wireless router. So, I did a full hard 'reset' on the AE, connected to the wireless network that the device created, and opened the Airport Utility. All seem to work fine - the AirPort Utility 'saw' the Express, did a configuration and "restarted" it. But while it was restarting, I got a notice that said "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport Wireless Device..." AFTER it went through it's whole configuration.
The light on the Express is solid green, when I look at my wireless router utility, it shows it connected and it can see it. But none of my devices "see" it - not iTunes, not my ipad or iphone.
Again, it's a Gen 1 Airport Express, computer is Windows 7. Everything was working fine until I got the new wireless router.
When I open Airport Utility after closing it, I again says it's unable to find and Airport Device. And like I said, the light is solid green, and my network says it's connected to the Airport Express.
i've done this over about 5 times now, trying everything....
thoughts?
thanks
Bob

I suspect your new wireless router.. if not an apple router is simply not airplay aware.. in which case airplay cannot work with the express.. you need a router that is apple compatible.. and not all routers are..
Give the exact make and model of the new router.
Do a google search if other people are having airplay issues with it.

All external hard drives not being seen after working for months

I have a 27" iMac, 10.7.2.
This morning I had 4 external hard drives attached via a powered hub, 2 x 2TB and 2 x1TB (all Freecom) formatted as MAC OS extended Journaled, one acting as the time machine backup.
All were working and being recognised/seen on the desktop and finder and working normally. I shut down the system and moved the machine to a new office made all the same connections, but now none of the drives are available, they are not even visible on the desktop.
I have tried them directly connected to the usb ports with no luck, I have tried rebooting in safe mode and reset both SMC and PRAM (after looking at various threads)
I have also tried a USB stick which also does not appear on the desktop (or anywhere else), all other peripherals work with the USB ports.
This is a real problem as there is almost 4 terabytes of material and four years work!, any suggestions would be greatfully received.

You mentioned you did a SMC reset, because different models of Mac's have different procedures for doing a SMC reset you may have done it incorrectly meaning you didn't do one at all! Did you do it like this?
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.

I've used an external drive for time machine which has important files on it. After trying to back up my computer, it suddenly needed to be "repaired" by utilities. Now it's not being "seen" at all! How do I recover my important files off the drive?

If the external drive can be seen at all in Disk Utility, follow the instructions for repair here.

My ipad is not being seen by itunes in Windows 7. I uninstalled then reinstalled itunes it started working for a while then it stopped. I get a message stating that the device is not recognized or the device is defective replace device. Anyone have a fix.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

DVD 1270 not being seen in xp to install at start up windows 7

DVD 1270 not being seen at startup in xp to install windows 7. Boot order works - the machine sees a cd but not a dvd. Installed latest driver for lightscribe from this site. Also tried two other dvds - one a hp 1160 which works on another machine it sees the dvd on other machine running w7 but not on this new one - ASUS mthrbd P867-M Le. ASUS says it is the DVD and to try another. Seems like it may be a config issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Well, if the drive is good, then try a different SATA port. It might be that the OS is looking for the drive per the BIOS and it is not on the SATA 0 port. BTW: Does this motherboard have 6GB SATA ports? Do not use them for DVD drive.

LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not Being Seen By Time Machine

Hello all,
I have a LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not being seen by Time Machine hooked up to my iMac via firewire 800. My iMac is running latest updates etc. Have raised a support ticket and was given the following instructions by LaCie:
Posted: 08 November 2007 @ 00:00
Thank you for contacting LaCie Technical Support. Make sure the drive is mounting and you can assess files on it on your 10.5 system. If you can then you will need to reformat the drive to make it compatible with time machine.
Warning! All data on the external drive will be destroyed in this process.
Step 1: Run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Step 2: Click on the LaCie hard drive's 'physical' entry, usually the third entry in the list
Step 3: Click on the Partition tab
Step 4: Change 'Current Scheme' to '1 Partition'
Step 5: Change the name of the drive back to what you would like it to be
Step 6: The format needs to be Mac OS Extended, with or without journaling
Step 7: Click on the Options... button
Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme on a PowerPC-based Mac.
Use "GUID" partition scheme on an Intel-based Mac.
Step 8: Click on OK
Step 9: Click on Apply
Step 10: click on Erase at the bottom of the screen, then confirm the erase.
The drive should start to be reformatted which should take only a few seconds and show up on the desktop with a new icon. Once it has you can then use it with time machine.
I have done all of the above and it is still not being seen. Anyone had a similar issue or got the above to actually work?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ryan,
Check drive volume name and also the Computer name. Apple released a tech note recommending that both be limited to only the characters A-Za-z0-9 (no dashes, hyphens, or other special characters.
If you can, send the Apple System Profiler report to me at the addres in my profile. Imay be able to see something there. I have helped another user with similar problems, but with a LaCie USB drive. He got things working by repeating the recommended steps, and double checking everything.
As others have rported, this should work, so there may be something else preventing proper operation.
If the drive is usable from Finder, but Time Machine cannot use it, there is something related in how Time Machine is viewing the drive.

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

My Goflex external drive is not being seen since I installed Lion, any ideas.

Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit. I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad. So incredibly frustrating. Apple please fix this.

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

Databases are not coming up after server reboot(sun solaris).

Hi
OS - Sun OS 5.10 local zone. RDBMS version - 11.2.0.3
Databases are not coming up after server reboot.
We have verified the below points.
Cat/etc/init.d/oracle
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oradism file permissions are 4550.
lock_sga is parameter set to false.
cat /var/opt/oracle/oratab entries are set to Y
Still Databases are not coming up after server reboot.
Please advise.

Hi,
Can you post further information from alert log. Doesn't coming up, means you needs to share the information some thing about your environmente settings about kernel parameter and init$ORACLE_SID parameters details.
That would be easy for others to look into it further to analyze things.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Ei.cfg not being seen by windows installer on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit retail disk.

My problem is that the retail disk of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit has no ei.cfg restrictions. Instead of choosing the correct operating system ID, on install, the .cfg
is coming from some where else installing a custom version of windows that is a different version of windows than on the retail install disk that I have a software key to. Even though it recognizes the key as windows 7 the operating system no longer recognizes
the retail disk it was installed from as the same version of operating system. It seems that there is a pre operating system install to a volume that cant see the ei.cfg file on the windows retail disk. It is something like Windows ME or MCE and it is hard
to get past because it acts like the operating system after install. It looks like there is a complete install of windows 7 but it is only a version of ME or MCE in the 100MB range installed to a partition volume. I am given a User account Profile within
Application Data folder in the system. The actual windows system in its entirety does not exist in the partial virtual operating systems. All the installs are to Partition Volumes on the Partition of a GPT Server Partition on a Disk
on the Hard drive. All Virtual.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and 32bit retail disk is GSP1RMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD. The bios version on my Asus G75VX is American Megatrends version 206, V Bios version 80.04.97.00.13.N62G75500, EC version B14E140001. The operating system version is not the same
as the install disk. The boot configuration is; American Megatrends Bios Aptio Setup Utility installed. :\\?|GLOBALROOT\Device|HarddiskVolume1\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.Backup.0001 Software build after install is Buildlab 7601.Win7Sp1_rtm.101119-1850 Client install

.reg file in text format http://1drv.ms/1m9RXL7.
The above information was taken after an install from the Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit retail disk purchased at Fry's and installed to my Asus G75VX. It is a Network Managed Client Server configuration that installs from the retail disk.

I have been dealing with this problem since the day I purchased the first notebook from Best Buy configured this way and it was not even an Asus. It was a Samsung Chronos i7. The Asus G75VX I have now is the third notebook in a row purchased from Best Buy
with the configuration right out of the un open retail box. None out of the three came with windows 7 installed. They had windows 8 64bit installed with the configuration. I purchased Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit attempting to get around the configuration
problem.
My main concern is that I use computers to do my legal documents in court cases in the United States Federal Courts and I am a pro se litigator and I have been litigating a civil action since 2011 that is still open in the federal court. I am also legally
disable and covered by Federal Communications Act FCC Rule 255. This configuration has Telephone software and equipment, Management Software and equipment, and Networking software and equipment all covered within FCC Rule 255. My notebook is unusable for litigation
or personal use as a Publicly Managed Network Client Server. I paid $1350.00 of my Social Security Disability income for the Asus G75VX and another $216.00 for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 and 64 bit DVD and that is not counting a list of other things to
now have a personal notebook computer I have to sat down beside me in public libraries, Colleges etc. to use their computers to do my legal work. It is illegal and total wrong and it is a violation of the Bill of Rights First and Fourth Amendments and Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the American with Disability Act outside of 255.

Ipod nano not being seen by computer, windows, 2000...

after over a week on the phone and attemting to get my computer to "see" my nano, and not being able to do so. and after going thru every trouble shooting guide given to me by apple i did get my nano to work.
I used every usb port but two, the two off the mother board, when i used one of them the nano took off and worked liked it was susposed to do, so...... you people who have this problem or know others pass the word use the mother board usb ports. nothing else.......

i resolved my computer, windows 2000, not seeing by i pod nano, by using the usb ports from the mother board. use no other usb ports, not usb hubs, or other circurt ports, just mother ports..................
