OS X V10.7 Lion :: NAS Disk Name Changed

Jun 16, 2012

I use a NAS for backups and external storage.At some time in the past week, my backup operations stopped working, and I think I have tracked down the source of the problem. Somehow, an "extension" got added to the disk name (I did not do this and I am not sure how it happened).The disk name (Cosmos) has not changed, but when right click and choose "get info", in the "Name and Extension" section, the disk shows up as Cosmos-1. Unfortunately, the name is greyed out and I can't change it.Does anybody know how I can remove the -1 extension and change the name back to Cosmos so that my backups see the disk again?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Changed Permissions On Startup Disk - Now MBA Hangs Up On Boot

Apr 17, 2012

I have a new MacBook Air running Lion. Every time I use my backup software, it changes the permissions on my external drives, and I have to change them from read only to read & write, so I've gotten in that habit. At one point, I noticed that the permissions on my internal *startup disc* were read only, so I (foolishly, I now know) changed the permissions on the startup disc to read & write, with apply to all enclosed items checked. As I continued working, I got messages that a number of extensions could not be used and will be disabled (or something like that). I decided to reboot, so the computer could reset and hopefully correct things.

When I tried to boot, it hung up on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning clock/gear. I let it spin for a while, then forced power down and tried to boot in safe mode. The progress bar appeared as it's supposed to, but when the progress bar finished, it went back to the grey screen and hung up again. I let it spin for over 40 minutes before powering down, just in case it was doing diagnostics or something. I don't have access to the original OS DVD (nor do I have an optical drive to put it in). Any way for getting the computer to boot, at least in safe mode?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Changed Wheel Group Properties To No Access At Top Disk Level

Jun 2, 2012

I messed up, I changed my "Wheel group" properties to No Access ( or something other than the default) at the top level of my startup disk "Macintosh HD".now my computer won't start up, I just get the spinning wheel of death.I also am in Thailand right now, so I cannot go to a Genius at an apple store, nor do I have startup disks available.So I was hoping there was a way to change back the properties of my disk (Volume) in single user mode (via Command +s) during startup, i.e. can I do a chmod command on the Macintosh HD listing under the Volume Directory.Or where do i fix this? Is it fixable without startup disks, etc...

OS X :: Contents Of This Disk Can't Be Changed Mac Couldn't Be Installed On This Disk

Oct 4, 2009

I tried to install Snow Leopard.

I got the error, "The contents of this disk can't be changed. Mac OS X couldn't be installed on this disk."

I restarted, to boot from the startup disk, not the CD.

And now it just goes to the grey screen and shuts off.

Pressing "C" or "Opt - Command - P - R" or holding down the Power button for a while and then restarting, or trying "Command - V"..... none of it works.

The machine just goes to the grey screen, the wheel spins, and it turns off.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: The 'look & Layout' Of Mail Has Changed

May 5, 2012

I just formatted my MBP and when I resynchronised Mail with my Yahoo a/c, the way Mail appears is a bit different from how I had it. I have OSX 10.7.3 and Mail 5.2. 

I am unable to:

1. Get the headers of 'To, From, Flag, Size, Date' etc that would appear above my mails. Now I just see all my mails in a bunch, one above the other, without any header to them (I thought this was a simple case of changing some 'View' menu item, but I am unable to figure it out. 

2. In Mail Preferences, it continues to show 'Microsoft Outlook.app' as default mail reader even if i change it to Mail.app. It reverts back to Outlook every time i reopen the Preferences window.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Red Color Has Changed After Update To 10.7.4?

May 10, 2012

I have a problem after updating to 10.7.4. It seams that the red color has changed after the update. I can notice it in the US flag for the keyboard layout. I have no idea what to do. I have tried to use different color profiles and calibrate the monitor, but nothing helped. I think maybe it is connected with the fact that I didn't disconnect the external monitor while the update process. 

I had an issue with the red color before while I connected external display and used only it. After I disconnected the display the red color changed itself. At that time the reboot only helped. But recently I started to use both displays of my macbook pro and external one and the issue with red color did't appear any more. And now after the update the red color has changed and I don't know how to return it back. 

I've just made a clean install of Lion on monday and everything was perfect. Now I don't want to do it again. It took the full day of setting my system. I don't have time for the second time. I need to Work! I have MacBook Pro 17" of mid 2009. The external display that I use is Dell 2408WFP.

My iMac 27 was stolen and then recovered. The thieves added a new admin account "User" that has no password.  My accounts are visible, but the passwords I was using when they stole it are no longer valid.  I thought I could simply use the new "User" admin account to access Users & Groups and reset my account passwords.  But when I go to Users & Groups my old accounts are greyed out, I cannot select them. How can I regain access to my original accounts?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Software Update Changed BootCamp Support To Win 7 From XP SP3

Jun 5, 2012

I had Win XP servicepack 3 installed via bootcamp. Recent OSX updates changed bootcamp and it supports now only Win 7. I was not informed about this change. So to be able to use my Win XP applications again I bought Win 7 Pro 64 bit OEM. The CD will work until I have to install and format the new created partition. I cannot choose between FAT or NTFS the installation continues and Windows will be unpacked. The counter remains on (0). Nothing happens further.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Disk Utility Can't Repair Disk (1 Partition) On External Hard Drive

Apr 24, 2012

I have a 2TB Western Digital My Book Studio FW800 external that has 5 partitions, connected to my 2011 iMac. I had help doing the partitions and don't really remember the reasoning, but one is just for my SuperDuper! backup, one is Miscellaneous, one for movie clips off my camcorder, one for misc scanned photo's and one for my genealogy research. I back up using Time Machine to a Time Capsule and also to this WD hard drive with SuperDuper! 

Recently I'm getting a pop up message that "Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Genealogy"'.  And it needs to be reformatted.  It's become a read only disk.  When I look in Disk Utility it shows all the partitions as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" EXCEPT for the one in question.  I also noticed that there are a lot of files with "date created" being the same date in 1969!  These files may be letters I've written or photo's I added to that partition within the last few years. 

I think I have to completely reformat the entire external hard drive to repair this, but I want to make sure.  Because it's going to be a major hassle backing it all up to another external (having to get one first) and then figuring out how to make the files that have turned "read only" in that one partition, back to their original state!  Does this sound right, that I have to reformat the entire external hard drive?  And how do I get the read-only files back to their original state.
