OS X :: Can Use A Custom Icon For A Mounted Volume

Sep 23, 2009

I have a couple of Windows systems on my home network, and it gets a bit confusing when I've got 2 mounted volumes on my desktop both called "Users", as it's not possible to see which one relates to which PC.

Is it possible to use a custom icon for a particular volume so I can visually differentiate between the two? If so, how do I do it?

And no, changing the name of the Windows share is not an option!

Software :: Cannot Connect To Windows Share (Volume Not Mounted)

Oct 8, 2009

I'm not able to connect to a windows share on a Windows 2003 server with my AD username and password. I'm running OS 10.5.8 from a MacBook Pro.The AD credentials work from other Macs on the network running 10.4.11 but it will not connect from mine. I've added a virgin user account and had the same problem from that account. I've reinstalled the operating system with the same failure. AD credentials allow me to log into the Exchange server via Entoruage.

My Mac is not bound to AD and neither are any of the other Mac workstations in our group. The message I get after entering my username and password in the Windows dialog box is usually "The volume could not be mounted ". In the Console log the following entry pertains to this but it's foreign to me, CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.

OS X :: Unable To Backup Data Via Time Machine / Volume Cannot Be Mounted

Jan 1, 2009

I've spent a good deal of time over three days trying to do something that I think is both doable and shouldn't be all that hard. I have a 750gb external HD attached to a Mini, and I'd like to use that drive to do TM backups for the Mini, as well as three MacBooks.

But I can't seem to get access to the backup drive from the laptops to either get going in the first place, or to remain available for TM. I get "volume can't be mounted" errors, "image can't be mounted errors", etc. I find that I can't ever eject the backup drive from the Mini (always told an application is using it...even if I've just booted up the Mini). And with one of the MacBooks, even a direct FW connection to the drive doesn't result in the drive showing up in Finder.

Isn't this a pretty straightforward thing to do? Is there a step by step somewhere that might help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to fix? Should I reformat the drive again and start over (there are no important backups on it yet)? By the way, the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

OS X :: Unable To Backup With Time Machine / External Volume Cannot Be Mounted

Mar 14, 2009

I'm having trouble backing up with Time Machine. Here's the setup:

1. Three, 1TB external hard drives in a concatenated software RAID. This means that they are treated as one large drive. There is no mirroring, no increased data rate, blah blah blah. It's just three hard drives in the place of one. I am aware that this means my backup is three times as likely to fail with the hardware, but that's OK.

2. These three are connected to a USB hub.

3. This hub is connected to a G5 tower. The G5 tower can back up to the concatenated drives (I'll call them just a RAID from here on), and also all additional external hard drives that I connect to the G5 tower have been backing up to the RAID no problem. This is great.

Here's the problem:

I'm trying to get two more computers to back up to the RAID wirelessly. I read a lot online about how this didn't used to be a supported feature (backing up to an external hard drive over a network with time machine), but that Apple has recently upgraded Time Machine to support this functionality.

The first computer I started with to try to backup over the network was a Macbook Pro, trying to get it to backup to this RAID. It can see the RAID over the network, mount it, copy files to it/read it, but CANNOT time machine backup to it. I select the network RAID as the backup device, hit "back up now," then get this message:

"The external volume cannot be mounted."

This is really bizzare, considering that it is mounted, and that I can copy to it. Just for your information, I have an airport extreme wireless network that has been working beautifully, no Keychain access issues, no 3rd party firewall, nothing. I've run through Applecare on this issue: the MacBook Pro has never done ANY time machine backup on the RAID, not even a partial one, so there's no dangling sparse bundle or backup folder or anything like that. All network permissions check out, etc. I've tried repairing the RAID with disk utility, as well as repairing permissions (although I have not done either of these things to the MacBookPro).

The latest thing I tried was plugging the RAID directly into the Macbook Pro. Here's where I got the first clue (at least I think so)...Plugged DIRECTLY into the MacBook Pro, the RAID will mount, but the MacBook Pro WILL NOT backup to the RAID. It gives me the same message: the selected volume cannot be mounted. Again, this is strange considering that, just like when I am viewing the RAID over the network, plugged directly into the MacBook Pro the RAID will mount, I can read it, copy files to it, etc.

I have considered plugging the RAID into the Airport extreme directly, but first of all this would mean much slower transfer speeds with the G5 tower, which is a big issue considering the files I am backing up every day, and two, since it seems that the RAID won't be recognized by the MacBook Pro even when plugged in directly, I'm thinking that this is a more fundamental issue.

Applications :: Open Pages Files Without Pages?

Mar 24, 2010

I need to open a few Pages files but I don't have Pages installed on this computer. I understand you can convert Pages files to .doc or .pdf within the application, but unfortunately I won't have access to the computer with the program installed for a while.

Is there some sort of (free) converter that can convert .pages files to .doc or .pdf or even .rtf?

Or even better, a document creator/viewer than can open .pages files?

MacBook Air :: Browser Won't Open Pages (neither Firefox Nor Safari)

Jul 6, 2012

I began to have this same problem on my old MacBook within the last year...but I now have a brand spanking new MacBook Air (as in 1 week old) and it's worse than ever.  

Extremely often - sometimes 2 out of 3 webpages, it seems - the browzer says it can't find the server or otherwise won't open a page (takes veeeery long to do so. Then eventually gives me a "can't find" screen when I try to click around.). There's nothing wrong w the internet - it works just fine on my husband's computer. Sometimes it helps to switch browzers but mostly not.

MacBook Pro :: Safari Cannot Open Message - Pages Loading Takes Long

Feb 24, 2010

I've had my macbook pro for about a month. Its everything you read about when you make the switch. Great build, screen, keyboard, stable, ease of use. Everything...except internet surfing. It's a big disappointment. I spend a lot of time waiting for pages to load..or getting the safari can't open message. (When I refresh this page I often will get the page to pop right up.)

I loaded a plug in recommended in the site "my first mac"...but no difference. I loaded firefox but get the same results. My 3 year old sempron dell inspiron and my wifes new Dell studio 17 both kick the macbook pro's butt in surfing so i don't believe its my home network. I have gone to the genius bar and they did some minor stuff but I have the same issues still.

OS X :: Open Firmware Password - Booting From Another Volume

Nov 5, 2010

I've just set up an Open Firmware Password for the first time. My understanding is that this would prevent booting the Mac from another volume (i.e. an OS X install DVD). After setting up the password and rebooting my machine, I decided to test things out by inserting my OS X install DVD and selecting it from the "Startup Disk" preference pane. Lo and behold, it rebooted from the DVD without asking for the password.

MacBook :: Won't Start Up/ Hdd Not Mounted...

Jun 3, 2010

First, safari froze (spinning beach ball). I only had 2 tabs open (cnn and facebook) and Mail. Not much going on, it has never froze like that so I let it sit for about 10 minutes. It was still spinning when I came back so I did a hard shut down (held power button). I tried to turn it back on about a minute later but it wouldn't go past the grey screen...and then the lovely folder/question mark came up. Joy oh joy.

So I booted from the install disk and it said my hdd was not mounted. I ran disk utility and it gave me these errors:

-Invalid node structure
-Volume needs to be repaired
-Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

OS X Mavericks :: Finder Cannot Open Files In Volume Format?

Jun 22, 2014

I had to downgrade from the second Yosemite beta in order to run one of my applications for work that didn't run on Yosemite. I've successful reinstalled Mavericks to the chagrin of finder not working at all. Whenever I mount a DMG I get "Finder cannot open files in the “volume” format." Also, whenever I click to open a folder or a new window in finder, it just crashes and relaunches. I'm going to try to do a fresh install of Mavericks and recover from a backup.

I also had to regain admin privileges for my user which I have done successfully.

MacBook Pro :: It Won't Recognize USBs Mounted Any More

May 20, 2012

I'm now running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro and last night when I plugged in my external hard drive or a dongle, it didn't come up on the desktop. I tried both USB ports and different dongles - nothing. Yet every time I unplugged I got the warning message that unplugging a disc without ejecting via the Finder could lose files on the disc. The Disc Utility can see the USBs and I've tried repairing and verifying the disc it sees - nothing. I've restarted and shut down on separate occasions and on another re-set SMC by removing the battery - nothing. So basically, it's 'seeing' the USB but not putting it on the desktop graphically so I can't see any files on the USB or save anything to it.

I only updated to 10.6.8 a couple of weeks ago and though I haven't had any issue like this till last night, I can't think of anything else that has changed with my set-up.

Info:Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OS X Mavericks :: Pages Won't Open

Jul 1, 2014

I was working on a document in Pages when I got the dreaded 'spinning beach-ball'. I had to 'Force Quit', and I subsequently can't open it again. I have done 'Repair Disk Permissions'.I have just downloaded the latest software update to 10.9.4. Still no good. When I 'Spotlight' 'Pages' it shows two : the one with the 'inkwell and pen' icon is v.4.3, located in iWork 09 folder in Applications the one with the 'paper page and pen' (the same as the one in my dock) is v.5.2...Is this significant ?

Applications :: Open Pages File On A PC?

Jan 22, 2008

I wrote up a paper for school, saved it on my flash drive and went off to school.

Only problem is my school is entirely PC, and I didn�t remember to save it for word.

I need a program that can convert a pages document to word or let me open it in another program on the PC.

I tried installing open office on the computer here at school but it wont let me. I should be able to install most other programs though.

When my professor asks me who I don�t have it done I don�t want to say because I use a mac. Well I do, but I shouldn't.
