How to re - combine a HD and SSD in a player of "Fusion".

Hi all

Well, this process has floored me know how much time lost, he created and how the problem occurred in the first place.

I am wanting to do a clean install of El Capitan on iMac late 2014 retina with El Capitan with a 1 TB drive merger 10.11.6.

Boot from an external hard drive with OS X utility disk 10.11.4, wouldn't let me simple deletion of the reader. He came up with the error message "removing logical volume of the logical volume group cannot delete the storage base logical volume...". »

So I started to investigate this problem and found:

estorage-logical-volume-from-the-Terminal http://Apple.StackExchange.com/questions/136590/How-can-i-Delete-a-partition-Cor

Who publishes various other forum known as the best solution to the problem. Knowing that I hate to use the terminal, I dove in full anyway. I was reformatting disks on Mac for 20 years without needing terminals?

I got so far as to remove the existing with logical group:

sudo diskutil cs deleteLVG

and now the HD and SSD drives appear on the desktop as a empty volumes (which is fine, I don't need to save anything).

But now, try to use the:

sudo diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ "Apple_HFS Macintosh HD" (and different combinations of drive locations)

results only in "the data partitions are not of the same disc.

This is what I see with the "diskutil list; ECHO; Cs diskutil list "command in terminal.

/ dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

2: Apple_HFS GB 121.0 Untitled disk0s2

/ dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * 1.0 TB disk1

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

2: Apple_HFS Untitled 999,3 GB disk1s2

/ dev/disk3 (external, physical):

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 DIS3

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk3s1

2: Apple_HFS Mac Master Image 2016 499,2 GB disk3s2

3: disk3s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

I have no idea how recombine the separate HD and SSD drives in one drive of Fusion, with which I can then do a clean installation of El Capitan. Can someone please!

Also, how can quickly and safely erase a disc from Fusion in the future? I need to deploy a new image of master with all our software top one another 10 times, and I want to completely erase the readers for clean installs (with Migration Assistant for about 8 years, moving from a system has resulted in a lot of weird and wacky behaviour on our Macs) and it is time for a clean install for each of them.

Again, I'd be very happy any help on this.

Please read this message before doing anything. If you don't feel confident that you can follow the instructions, ask someone more experienced to help you.

This procedure applies only to an iMac or a Mac mini with a drive installed in the smelter.

You must read these instructions while no web browser is running, so either print them or load them onto another device before you start.

1. all the data on the internal disks will be deleted, including Boot Camp data, which are not saved by Time Machine. You need at least two complete and independent backups. A backup is not enough to be sure. There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

2. you will need to start one recovery system other than the one on the internal hard drive (if he has one.) There are several ways to do so.

a. If you have a backup time of the Machine (not a network backup), or a compatible Mac OS X installation on an external drive, then you should be able to start it by holding down press option key to start ringing. Select the external hard drive in the row of icons that is displayed. I mean by "compatible", an installation running on the machine. A version of Mac OS X that is older than the machine is not compatible.

b. If you used Recovery Disk Wizard (or can use it now) to prepare a system recovery on a USB flash drive, you can start that by pressing the C button on the ring. No icons will appear. Startup will be much slower than usual.

c. start the Internet recovery mode by pressing the key combination command-option-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe. Select a language, if you are prompted.

Note: You need an Ethernet or Wi - Fi connection to Internet to use the features of recovery network. It will not work with modems USB or PPPoE, proxy servers or networks that require a certificate for authentication.

3. disconnect all other external storage devices.

What happens then depends on what version of recovery that you are running.

☞ If the machine came with OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), 10.9 ("Swat") or 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), and you're in the recovery of the Internet, please take step 4a and skip step 4 b.

☞ otherwise, go to step 4 and go to step 4B.

If you are unsure which version of Mac OS X, the machine came with, search for it on this page.

After taking these steps apply, you must have a reader of empty Fusion named 'Macintosh HD' on which you can perform a 7 step or step 7B.

4. repair of the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.) Quit disk utility and go to step 7A or 7B step. Skip steps 4, 5 and 6.

4. in the OS X screen utility, select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

5. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

N=Macintosh\ HD; for d in /dev/disk?; do o=`diskutil info $d`; for D in SSD HDD; do eval [[ ! \"\$$D\" ]] && grep -lqw "APPLE $D" <<< "$o" && eval $D=$d; done; [[ "$SSD" && "$HDD" ]] && break; done; diskutil cs create "$N" $SSD $HDD && diskutil cs createLV "$N" jhfs+ "$N" 100%

It is a very long line, and you won't see it on the web page. Be sure to select the entire line, not just the part that you can see.

Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

6. in the menu bar, select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. If nothing happens, press the return key.

Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

7. If you have a Time Machine backup, connect the device to backup and restore your data. If you have saved to a network like a time Capsule device, it must be connected automatically.

7B. If you do not have a Time Machine backup, or if you can not restore from Time Machine backup that you do not have, install OS x Restore data later in The Migration Wizard.

In the Internet recovery mode, you install the original version of Mac OS X comes with the machine. If you have upgraded the operating system on the App Store, you will need to do it again.

    Seems to have gotten messed up while improving my versions of LR and don't know what to do. I still have LR 5.7 on my computer, but also subscribe to CC. It seems that sometimes my computer puts me in 5.7 and sometimes in CC. I just imported a bunch of photos and I wanted to do and merge HDR - but this is where I realized that I was not in the CC version.  Somehow, I closed 5.7 and open CC, but my pictures were not there.  In fact, the photos latest, I could see were April.  I know where all my photos are on my computer, but I have to say LR where they all are, & organize in one place.

    Can someone point me to a place to get help please?

    Hi judy,.

    • If you want you can keep the version of Lightroom, it's 5.7 and CC, but to avoid confusion keep the latest version of Lightroom.
    • Open Lightroom CC of the creative Application of cloud, and then import the images to the location where you saved to.
    • Also if you want to upgrade your old catalog of 5.7 LR LR CC, then you need to open LR CC, from there, click on file > open catalog and select the location of the catalog that was created in LR 5.7.
    • You will receive a prompt to update the catalog, update, and delete the old catalog.

    Here's a (big) hint.

    I would like to give you an excerpt, but I've not updated this machine yet.  It's a pretty boring delimiter, if you know what's good for you, you start to use commas, tabs or simple spaces (my order of preference).  It is far too easy start add or remove spaces and then you need to use more complex methods to obtain data from worksheet.

    You can do in PSE.

    1. Do the math to see how much space you'll need on your canvas to the image and text.
    2. Navigate to the file queue > new.blank. Enter the width & height, background color, resolution 72 px / in. It is your canvas, and in the layers palette will be the background layer.
    3. Copy and paste the image. It turns on a separate layer
    4. Activate the tool move, position the image and resize if necessary
    5. Activate the text tool, and then type your text. It will be on a separate so layer
    6. Position the text.
    7. Flatten layers and go to file > save for web. I'm usually on the long side about 800 px. Don't forget to check "constrain proportions". Adjust the quality slider to suit. You will probably want the type of JPEG file for web work.
  • How can I copy 2 pages and turn them into a new pdf document? I can highlight pages, export and then combine files into new pdf, but it's very heavy. Acrobat DC, I cannot open 2 files acrobat side by side.

    I have a 600-page adobe document. How can I copy 2 pages and turn them into a new document? I can highlight pages, export and then combine files into new pdf, but it's very heavy. Acrobat DC, I cannot open 2 files acrobat side by side. In the past, I could take two pages and copy and insert into the document opened adjacent... Thank you

    I'm not what you mean... Start by describing what tools or methods that you use to extract these pages.

    What you write in the first sentence is not true, however. In the dialogue window extract Pages, you can choose whether or not to delete the extracted pages of the original file and extract them as individual pages or not. If you UN-select both options, you will get a single file that contains the pages you have checked out, and they will not be deleted from the original file.

  • I have two script. one for indesign and another for photoshop. How can I combine the two scripts?


    Hi all

    I have a script for indd that convert a table selected user in JPG format (1276 px width, height varies). Second script photoshop asking to select jpg file and then check if the height in pixels is less than 1018 pixel, can he expand canvas size (height) to 1018 px.

    How can I combine the two script, tip, or how to start would be useful? The workflow must be:

    • the user select table in the indd document
    • export table in jpg format
    • script you will be asked to select the file table jpg or if it is possible to automate this would be awesome.
    • enlarge the height of the canvas to 1018 px

    Thank you

    Marie rosine

    PS: I have already read the Java script tool guide pdf but unable to understand

    Yes and the documentation is pretty self-explanatory.

    However, here is an excerpt:

    function callPhotoshop(file) {
       var bt = new BridgeTalk;
    
       bt.target = "photoshop";
    
       bt.body = "function main (){ return confirm('Am I in Photoshop?'); }; main();";
    
      bt.onResult = function(resObj)
      {
      var myResult = resObj.body;
      alert( myResult? "PS code was correctly executed" : "Something wrong happened" );
      }
    
       bt.send();
    }
    
    callPhotoshop();

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    You can use Adobe PDF package to combine files (PDF and Word) in PDF format. If you want to combine Word files and to retain the Word format, Microsoft Word is the tool to use, then I think it would be as simple as choosing all in a document Word, then in copying and pasting in the other.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • How can I combine an old file history browsing in the current?

    Several weeks ago my PC C: drive has been replaced, and Firefox has been recreated before I could copy on my old profile to the new drive. Now I want to recover the old browsing history, but of course the new profile already has his own, more recent places.sqlite file, that I don't want to lose.

    How can I combine the two stories?

    It is not possible.

    You cannot merge the history.

    One way to do this would be to use a separate profile and copy the file places.sqlite this profile (file delete an existing places.sqlite-journal).

    Use him copy / paste to copy the elements of the story in a folder of bookmarks in the Menu folder bookmarks.

    Export Favorites to an HTML file and import this HTML file in the current Firefox profile.

  • I need to upgrade my Mac (MacBook white unibody mid 2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD

    I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

    MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    < re-titled by host >

    They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

    OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

    For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

    OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1NU and I want to know if it is possible to replace the optical drive with an SSD? Can someone tell me what I need to do? What type of rack and SSD should I buy. Thank you

    I also want to improve the ram memory, the laptop has only 1 slot 4 GB ddr3 1600 mhz, but is single channel. Which model should I buy to work in dual channel I use cpu-z to identify the model and it shows me hmt451s6mfr8a do I need exactly this or I can put another ty of manufacturing 2.

    This upgrade with SSD is not supported by Toshiba, so everything you do is at your risk. Check this forum please. If I m remembering although some people have already posted own experiences.
    I think that in most cases they ordered this caddy HDD/SSD but the drive was not recognized at all.

    In my opinion, you must perform these updates.

    RAM
    Up to 16 GB of RAM according to specification for laptop, you can put on level and on the lower part under the cover of memory, you should find two memory locations. How to change RAM is described in s. manuals check please page 72.

    The memory modules are compatible RAM for your laptop model:
