New member. Just got myself a new MacBook pro i5 15' to replace my old MacBook. I noticed when I opened the system profiler under ATA it said no hard drive was present or selected or something to that effect. Everything is running beautifully on the machine but I was just curious why nothing showed up. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies I purchased a black MacBook (10.4.11) last may and it's my first Mac. Thus far, I have only had one problem and that is that my I can't see my Motorola Z6m in finder or disk utility (but it is in system profiler). I also do not see it in Terminal under /Volumes. Inside the phone is a 2GB Verbatim microSD card that works fine in my card reader on the same machine. On a side note, bluetooth works fine.
The phone works as expected in the PCs I've tried it in, including a parallels vm running XP on the MacBook (I don't have access to any other Macs) which led me to believe it was a formatting issue, but then the card shouldn't work in the card reader either and it should still show up in disk utitlity. Am I not correct?
I have tried rebooting, unplugging/replugging the device, removing the battery, and reinstalling OS X (I wanted to do it to get rid of Unsanity's APE anyways). I have plugged it into either port on the MacBook with the same result. I have also emailed motorola tech support. Additionally, I have done quite a bit of googling and have found other people with the same issue, but none of the suggestions have worked for me or were otherwise unworkable (some suggested downgrading to 10.4.9).
I have also heard of trying it in a powered usb hub, but the thing is, why does it work through the virtual machine if a powered hub is required? Or am I missing something in this?
I was trying to get battery info so I was looking in "system profiler" and thought I might like it in the dock. However it appeared to be placed behind the dock on the desktop, so I just "right clicked" it and said move to trash. When I did that I decided to go see if I could find system profiler in my apps or whatever, and it was gone. So I went to trash and hit "put back." It went back into its original folder, but it also went back onto the desktop. How can I remove it from the desktop?

1) Is the same true on the 13" with 4 GB RAM?
2) Has anyone published a tear down of a 4 GB model just to be absolutely sure that there is only one soldered RAM slot? (I know it's unlikely that a second one got crammed in there, but I'd just like to see the tear down picture)...
im just wondering if there's a way i can modify the 2.0 that appears on the "About this MAC" and also when i click the "more info..." button...
reason: i have a snobby sister who got her self a 2.4 version and i just want her thinking i also have a 2.4 version
TRUST ME SHE DOESNT NEED THE BACK-LIT lights... as i've turned them off on her macbook (n she hasnt noticed since)
I got a camera, Nikon Coolpix S230, but It wont show up any where exept System Profiler, So I cant get the pictures off it. I am on a Early 08 Macbook on Snow leopard. Any?
PS it dosn't show up in Disk Utility either...
I have successfully connected a couple of times to a firewire external hard drive connected to my dad's iMac over the internet (AFP server) for the purpose of backing up some files, but now it doesn't show up at all as a volume when I connect to his iMac through finder/go/connect to server. I don't believe that any settings were changed, so don't understand why it isn't showing up. Currently when I get info on the drive 'shared folder' is checked, everyone has permission to read and write and 'ignore ownership on this volume' is checked and file sharing is enabled in system preferences/sharing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Western Digital External HD and am using an emac computer. I left my hd plugged into another mac for a week while I was on vacation, it was working fine. When I got back it was not showing up on the computer, and would not show up after I unplugged it, restarted, etc. I thought maybe it was the computer, but it will not show up on mine either. I cannot be sure the hd was not dropped, but I was told that it was not dropped. Anyway, it turns on when plugged in and makes noises like it's working, and the lights are on. It just does not show up on my computer. My friend said this is probably a case problem, but I don't know what to do in general about it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just received my new MBP with i7 processor.
What I understood is that the os should recognize 8 cores because of the 4 cores with multi threading. The system profiler however, only shows two.
Was I misinformed or is something up with the hard/software?
Check the pics - how can i restore this or bring it back up?

It use to show up and run just find but lately it hasn't been showing up on the desktop or in Finder. However, it shows up in Disk Utility, which shows that nothing is wrong with it. How do I get it to show back up on the desktop/finder?

I am a new Mac owner and still wandering around in OSX, but I have a question. In System rofiler>Software>Applications, every application has 2 listings. Some have what looks to be a previous and new version, and some have both listed as the same version. Is this right? Why is this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just browsing through System Profiler yesterday and found a 'WWAN' option in the left menu bar. I've never seen this before, but could this be a suggestion that there will be built-in 3G in the future?
This could mean something else though, I'm not really familiar with WWAN capability.
When I log into my System Profiler, I see that I have three items listed to StartUp. These items I do not use.
Now when I go into System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, these items are not listed.
When I go into my Library, StartupItems is not listed.
I've have run a search for StartupItems on the entire machine but it's not located anywhere. Does anyone have an idea on how I may remove these items from my Start up?
So just out of curiosity I was messing around in system profiler tonight and happened on the firewall tab. Never really took a look to see what it said until tonight. I have stealth mode enabled, and have ever since I installed SL but the profiler seems to think otherwise?

I posted my G4 Powerbook on craigslist, and, after filtering out the nigerian scammers, I received some legit-seeming inquiries, a couple of which requested I print my system profiler information as a pdf and send to them so they could see how the machine is set up. One of them had an @apple.com email address, so it seemed like it was probably not a malicious request.

I've tried the drive in all 4 of my internal bays and looked to see if shows up under BootCamp but no luck yet. My other internal drives work in any bay slot, so I don't think it's a fault with the MacPro.
As far as I know, it's spinning up and isn't making any dead-drive sounds I've heard in the past, it just seems to be invisible to the computer.
While helping somebody with their eMac I discovered that System Profiler lists the Serial Number as "-", i.e., just a dash
View 9 Replies View RelatedSomeone switched off the power to my iMac the other day. Since I've rebooted:a] System Profiler shows no awareness of FireWire ("Unable to list FireWire devices" in red) b] Every boot takes about five minutes, 3+ of which seems to be spent waiting for a response from the FireWire socket (the logs show a 3-minute gap followed by a line that goes something like this:"/usr/lib/exec/hidd: Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet")
c] if it's idle long enough to go to sleep, it goes into a kernel panic (the last line in the log before the panic says"kernel[0]: IOPMSlotsMacRISC4::determineSleepSupport has canSleep true")b] looks connected to a], but I can't see any connection with c] (apart from the reference to IO).

Again: Everything works, I'm wondering if this is normal though.
I've just got a new external HD, but it's not being recognised by Mac OS X (10.5.7). I assumed it was because it was in a Windows format, so booted Windows, but it then turned out it wasn't formatted at all. What is the easiest way to make this an HFS+ (the Mac OS extended format), and how do I do it as I can't see it anywhere on the Mac (including Disk Utility)?
