I just got an iomega home media network hdd (1tb) and i wanted to back up my macbook pro tht runs on OS X (10.6)
i installed their retrospect (6.1) software and conected the drive with the lan cable provieded by iomega and i did evrything they told me, but the drive doesnt not mount.
my computer doesnot detect the dive and a red light flashes on the drive in between the blue light (which is the only light tht should flash)

i have a 13" mbp with snowleopard.
some 15 days ago, my trackpad could do all gestures just fine but it couldn't click.
i have the "touch to click" option turned off.
so, after pressing down on the trackpad like 10 times, it could only register one click.
as my warranty was valid back then, i gave my laptop to the service guy. he opened my laptop up, checked the trackpad and said it was fine and he told me that it must be a software problem.
so i erased the hdd and installed leopard and the problem was solved.
whats wrong with my laptop ??
(i checked verified my disk and disk permissions, they're all fine)
this is starting to irritate now. apparently macs are supposed to be able to read ntfs formatted disks.
now although mine is able to do so, i find it strange that when i eject the disk its unable to do so. and so i end up pulling the usb cable to exit it. of course this is an improper exit and i am sure harms the drive in some way.
after mounting the drive, i normally see 2 icons - one has the drive letter and contains all the data, and the other shows the setup for the software installation in windows. now whenever i highlight both these and drag them to the trash can / right click to exit, only the drive icon disappears and within a second or two the software installation icon reappears and the drive does not shut down as it should.
so, is there some way to eject the drive properly?
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
I get this message everytime I turn on my MacBook Air and cannot get past it.
When i turn the power off, it hang for quite a long time and this screen appears,
Macbook Air OS x 10.5.
Before this happened, i went on skype and firefox. But then it hanged, so i had to hold the power button to shut it down. I meant to restart it back but then i couldnt. This problem appears.
Just before it happened, i dont have any start up application. But before, they were adium, skype and transmission. And my 'HUAWEI mobile connect broadband internet' connect automatically. and i dont use time machine.
so i bought my dad a web cam for christmas, its said it works with mac g4 so i thought everything would be fine but when he tried it today he found that the jack doesnt fit in the microphone port but it fitted perfectly in the head phone port. Also it fitted fine in the microphone port of his G3 but he doesnt use it so thats no help but what im trying to figure out is, have the ports changed size between the G3 and G4. and if so is there a adapter that i can buy? or is there a web cam that i can buy that will work with it?

For the past few months i've been having issues with my imac 2.66Ghz 24 inch. I'd say almost half the time when i put my imac to sleep it doesnt wake up no matter how many keys i press and it just stays stuck on a black screen. I know that when you put the computer to sleep you hear absolutely no noise however in this case i hear a slight fan noise despite it 'sleeping'. When this happens i always have to use the on/off button to do a reset. What seems to be the issue here??
View 1 Replies View Relatedim on a mac pro running 10.5.6 and the search function doesnt seem to be working very well anymore. I am talking about the little search box in the top right corner of a finder window. I type text in and it just doesnt find the files I am looking for. I can browse to them and locate them but search wont find them.
Is there some way i need to be re-indexing my HD from time to time? I would expect this for spotlight but I thought the finder search was different...
this is my third macbook pro and the headphone jack doesnt seem to be as 'tight' as the other ones I have owned. The headphone jack goes into the socket with minimal pressure but I do hear a click. While the other I owned I had to apply a little bit of pressure.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy number pad on my keyboard doesnt work. I have a iMac G5 1.4
I know I didnt spill anything on it, because this happened on my sisters account on the computer, while mine still worked. Now mine doesnt work. I like using it, so Id like to gget it to work again.
When I try using the 10 numbers and the decimal on the keypad (everything else in that section of the keyboard works), the computer freezes, and i have to shut down.
Oh, and I recently started using the program Blender, and I noticed this problem during that program, so it might have something to do with that.
I have a 1GHz, 12inch powerbook running OSX 13.9 and I have a problem where my airport connection wont allow me to connect to my wireless router.
I can see the connection in my airport but the 'OK' button in the dialogue box to enter the password is greyed out—reminds me of a criticism Steve Wozniak has of OSX where options in the GUI are greyed out but without any explanation of why, which gives you no chance of solving the problem or accessing the option. How frustrating.
The wireless connection had been working fine, but what would happen is once a week or so this problem would happen. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in would fix the problem. But that has failed to fix it over the last couple of days.
The wireless security is WPA personal, the router is a Belkin and the broadband modem is a Dynalink if that helps at all.

i've upgraded my system to snow leopard last night.
I have been editing .mov files in Adobe Premiere.. and since i have upgraded to snow leopard it doesn't recognise the .mov files in premiere or quick time.. how can i solve this problem as my work meets its dead line in 3 hours!
Just wondering if someone could please help me. My Macbook wont turn on, when I connect the charger to the Macbook, a faded green light appears on the charger (not as bright as it usually is) but still the Mac will not turn on. I have tried someone else's charger and the light on that charger also went a faded green colour. So i believe it is something to do with the Macbook and not the charger.

Basically I really dont understand imovie used to work on my ibook but now there just seems to be a box popping up saying I need to change my resolution to 1024 x 768 for imovie to be able to work.
I went to system preferences, displays, and I get a window which is titled VA1916wSERIES and the only resolutions on offer seem to be 800 x 600 then behind it there is a window called VGA display and that has more options and I changed this to 1024 x 768 60 Hz....but it didnt make much difference, I then thought maybe I should change the option on the VA1916wSERIES window to 60 hz so it matched...but apart from that I dont see how to change that window. Imovie still isn't working, still telling me I need to get a bigger resolution, even though I have.
Now I have no clue what any of that actually means, I'm just blindly following instructions so maybe I did something really obvious wrong. If not, could anyone recommend any free video editing software I could download to my ibook?
I was looking around the big web recently, and saw liquid mac. I downloaded and installed it on my 2011 13 inch macbook pro but it said it couldnt find a sudden motion sensor. So i checked system information, and it confirmed this... I didnt have a sudden motion sensor. Should i go and get this fixed somehow?? can they fix it or will they replace my laptop? Also, the hdd is factory installed if that makes a difference. I have applecare
