I have suffered like a fool. Paragon NTFS/mac was working OK on an i5 Mountain Lion/Windows 7/64bit system where the shared NTFS partitions were infrequently accessed. Then I got stoopid and purchased 3 licenses for Paragon NTFS/mac version 12. And that's when I started losing files. At first...

I have just seen a miracle! I have a file on my NTFS drive that is visible in Terminal (and in Search), but not in the Finder. This miracle is happening with Paragon Software NTFS 12 and is no doubt a prelude to this file meeting the same fate as the banking files I lost last month. OSX with...

So if I want to start over, where/how do I get the current OsX 10.10.3 installer?

Thanks, Guys. Because the machine was freezing I sent it back before I could try correcting the AMD Boot0: I said I might try the EFI mod, but in the end I gave up. iBuyPower.com and CyberPower.com are American companies that assemble systems - at a fair price. Newegg sells 'em, sometimes at a...

Rob, thank you. I will follow your advice when I'm building a machine with an AMD card. BUT I AM NOT. That's what I've been talking blue in the face about. So I can't try the EFI mod. Because as I keep saying it was freezing, looked like a PowerSupply glitching, and I sent it back. I gather...

Just a minute! I TRULY and GENUINELY appreciate all the effort around here but I don't understand being browbeaten for not just following the voodoo. By voodoo I mean passed-on recipes that all too often aren't supported by clear reasoning or engineering info. I don't know EXACTLY how the AMD...

Warm thanks for your help, Jithin, but I gave up on this machine as it froze on me a couple of times that evening. Given the AMD R9 270X problems, no time for this, it's now on its way back to Newegg. And it's the last time I buy a PC with an AMD card. BTW, it was not an ASUS MB, it was an...

Was 3/4 of the way through moving stuff to the EFI partition, when the machine froze. Second time this evening. That's twice too many. This is my second iBuyPower i7 system this month, and while the first was a open box, not much wrong with it (iBuyPower is replacing the radiator and front...

Thanks, Jithin! Not sure how best to proceed. The problem is the AMD R9 270x card. If I move the SSD to the "identical" system with the NV 970, it boots and works just fine. In the system with the AMD R9 270x I can only boot with the integrated graphics (or a USB stick). Can a boot block just...

I'm afraid you need to lower your expectations a little. You have a "powerMac" that uses CPUs that Apple touted as being superior to the Intel CPUs that PCs used, until one day, unexpectedly, they adopted the Intel line. They are fundamentally different. You can run OsX up through version...

Z97 Anniv - Boot0: GPT Huh? and Can't boot without USB I have an i7-4790K ASROCK Z97 Anniversary NV 970-4GB system working fine with 10.10.3. So I made a SuperDupe of the SSD boot drive and put it in a new i7-4790K box with the same MB, just the video card is different, a Dataland R9 270X...

Having gone through a month of agony building/rebuilding systems allow me one suggestion. Don't work in tight spaces. There are few things more painful than trial-and-error building a machine in say a mini-tower case, where the motherboard is mounted beneath a drive cage that's riveted to the...

Completely agree with you @rsleonard. It seems to be a trend here to recommend every board that uses a chipset that "works". The motherboard is THE most critical element. It would be SO simple to clearly identify a handful of motherboards (and other components) that are "known to work OOB" vs...

Similar problem here. Yosemite 10.10.3. Never had trouble with Paragon NTFS. Got errors in Disk Utility after writing to HFS disk from Windows 8.1 w/ Paragon HFS+ installed. Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and...

And so then, for you, did Multibeast patch it or replace it? Where did the original, the one that 10.10.3 put there, end up? I guess since I put a copy of the patched one (269.25-toledaALC887) it's running, and OK? How about the sleep issue? Anybody get audio working after sleep with the...
