How do you temporarily unmount a second internal Harddrive?

Hi guys this might be a no brainer to some but I better ask to be safe.
I wasnt happy with my initial install of Leopard so I am doing a clean install on a new HD I bought and installed in my ProMac. I've now booted in this new drive and am installing new all my apps and files, the original HD is visable on my desktop so I can move content.
How do I unmount this old original HD and secondly how do I bring it back? Is it the obvious thing like an external firewire drive and drag it to trash? and reboot to bring it back?
The reason I need to do it is when I go to install Canons Image Browser etc the install on the new drive sees the install on the old drive and stops the process. (I could delete the old instal of canon, but I want to keep that HD intact in case bad things happen!)
Thanks in advance guys.

You can use disk utility to unmount the drive, then use disk utility to remount it. Just click on your drive and click unmount or remount. You can also reboot to bring the drive back.

  • G5 randomly ejecting second internal harddrive 5 mins after startup?

    I recently upgraded my G5 from tiger to leapoard to make it compatible with my iphone4. For some reason it has now started ejecting my second internal harddrive containing movies and pictures 5 minuts or so aftr start up. Before that time the drive works perfectly.
    The computer is fully updated to 10.5.8.

    Do a little at a time and keep your fingers crossed.  You may have to remount and retry several times.  Of course, with it not staying mounted very long, larger files may be problematic.  I would hook up an external drive, copy from the failing drive to the other internal for maximum speed, then copy from the other internal to the external until I got everything off.  Best to get a FireWire external (most useful, but USB is OK) SATA enclosure or drive dock, put a bare drive into it so that when you are done, you can drop the bare drive into the machine in place of the failing drive.
    Oh, and one other thing I might try at some point is to shut down, remove and replace the SATA connectors to the failing drive to clean them up and then reboot.  I would not, however, do this until I had gotten the most important files off the failing drive.
    Then, once you have done that, you might want to get another couple of bare drives and use something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, no handy link in my bad-o-tricks) to clone and keep current backups of the internal drives.  A SATA dock (toaster) might be just the thing, rather than a plain enclosure, certainly faster to deal with when you are swapping multiple drives around.  The linked example is a Quad interface that has actually come down in price the past couple of months.

  • How do you transfer songs to second iTunes user account; same computer

    How do I transfer songs from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
    I've given my son his own account on our second computer. Prior to this, he shared his sister's iTunes account, using a playlist to populate his ipod. Now that he has his own account, he wants to transfer his music to his own account. Is it possible to do this quickly? I've been able to copy some actual song files from the first iTunes library and physically move them to the new account using a flash drive, but this is cumbersome. Any better options? Thanks.

    Name wrote:
    Sounds like a good plan. What folder/files do I move...the entire 'iTunes Media' folder?  ...and how do I point to it...through the advanced preferenced feature?
    It would be the folder you have selected as your Library folder. Usually Mac HD/Users/[User]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    See below:
    Select Mac HD/Users/Shared/Music - CREATE IT if need be
    Move your iTunes folder to the new Music folder. You'll probably have to "re import" the Library in iTunes. (Clear the old library first)
    But ionce it;s in the Shared Music folder, EVERY account on the comp can access those files for their own library (whichever songs THEY want) and you onle need ONE copy of everything.
    Each user can only access or modify THEIR OWN library while logged on so it prevents someone erasing another's library, because the iTunes Library file is in a locked folder when others are logged in.

  • How do you "talk" to a second Airport Express?

    I have an Airport Express with ethernet connection to a modem wirelessly supporting my iMac. I thought I could add a second Airport Express in another room, connect it to my stereo receiver and play my iTunes library. I connected the second Airport Express to my receiver audio and plugged it in, but can't get my existing wireless network to "see" it. Just get a continuous blinking yellow light.
    How do I communicate with it to either configure it or enter a security password to connect it?
    Thru my System Preferences/Network how do I differentiate one Airport Express from another? Do I go thru the process to setup a second wireless network? Not as simple as just plugging it in is it?

    You have to slave the new AirPort Express off the old one. The easiest way to configure it would be to connect your Mac to it with an Ethernet cable, which will make it a lot easier for AirPort Utility to see it.
    If both Express units are 802.11n-capable (model A1264), you should configure the first Express to "Allow this network to be extended" and the second to "Extend a wireless network". You should give each Express its own base station name to allow iTunes to distinguish between them.

  • How to point Imovie to second internal harddrive

    I have installed an internal Maxtor harddrive to give me more room to edit movies. But I cannot figure out how to point Imovie to that harddrive.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    When we create a new project, iMovie lets us save it wherever we want. We can save it on our internal drive or any external drive.
    1. In iMovie, choose File > New Project.
    2. In the Save dialog window that opens, navigate to the drive where you want to save the project. (If the Up/Down arrow just to the right of your new project name is pointing down, click on it.) The Save dialog window lets you navigate to any of the disks connected to your Mac. Navigate to the disk, then navigate to a folder in that disk and save the project.
    Existing projects can be moved to another disk by simply dragging the project to a folder on that disk.

  • How do you set multiple values in "Internal-Properties" in XSLT

    Hi All,
    I'm running SOA 11g with the Oracle B2B Adapter.
    I have a need to dynamically set the InterchangeReceiverID, InterchangeSenderID, GroupSenderID, and GroupReceiverID from within SOA prior to passing the xml to the B2B Adapter. When using the Transform Activity, I don't understand how to set multiple values at the Interchange/Group levels. I am able to set ONE value at each level using the structure below, but have not been able to determine the proper way to set more than one value at each level.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Anuj,
    Thanks for taking time to consider this. I think I did not explain my problem clearly. I'm not trying to assign more than one value to any one property. My issue is that I cannot figure out the proper syntax within the XSLT to assign a value to more than one property at the Interchange level. For instance, do you have an example of how I would assign one value to the InterchangeSenderID and another value to the InterchangeReceiverID? Constant values (rather than dynamic ones) would be fine for an example. Thanks again for your time.
    thanks,

  • Question: How do you install CC on second computer?

    Question: Bought CC. Installed it on my computer at work. It works nicely. I was promised when I signed up that each license could be installed on a second computer. When I log in on my home office computer, all I can see is trial versions of individual programs — not CC (as promised). How should I proceed? Retro-compatibility with CS6 is *challenging*.

  • How do you transfer files from an internal hard drive in a broken Mac?

    My iMac G5 broke a while back, the power comes on but nothing comes on my screen and the fan goes into overtime. I don't mind not fixing it but I would like to take the files from my hard drive. How would I go about this?
    I've tried using a firewire cable but to no avail.

    all i can think of is to remove the HD from the Mac, put it in an external enclosure, and use data recovery software such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage to retrieve the data.
    good luck !

  • How do you temporarily disable a page in InDesign without deleting it completely from the document?

    I ask this because I need to create pages that will be relevant at a later time, but I don't want to have to remember the page range everytime I export a pdf because the order of my document is changing constantly. Is ther a way to tag pages as disabled and then reactivate at a later time? Thanks for any help.

    Perhaps you should be doing separate documents, and combining them into a Book (.indb). Add or remove the docs and update the book as required.

  • How to relocate Home folder to second internal drive

    What is the process to migrate my Home Folder from the boot drive (256Gb SSD) to a new internal drive (960Gb SSD)? Can this be accomplished in finder or should one use the Terminal window?

    Interesting, I'm having the same issue on my MacBook Pro that has both an SSD (for the OS and Apps) and a Hard Disk in place of the Superdrive. This config worked just fine with Mountain Lion; since upgrading to Mavericks this morning, I am unable to log into my personal account that has its home folder on the hard disk.
    Unfortunately, it also seems to be an issue with the library folder, as I've been able to solve this issue with symlinks just fine with the exception of Library: the system keeps asking me to key in my password because the Library folder "needs to be repaired".
    I can't move my Library folder to the SSD, as it is way too big (for whatever reason) - the SSD is only 96 Gig.
    What is so different here is that the hard disk in the system is encrypted - I think this is the problem. I don't understand why, though, because under ML, I just logged in as admin after every reboot, which mounted the encrypted disk and then logged out / logged back in with my user account - it worked just fine.
    Something seems to have changed with Mavericks regarding making available the encrypted HD...
    Oddly enough, on my Mac Mini at home, which also has the SSD/HD pair, the moved home folder works fine - of course, here the HD isn't encrypted...
    I hope someone has a fix for this, otherwise I'll have to go back to ML!

  • How do you get more space on your harddrive?

    Someone showed me one time how to change my harddrive to open up more space on it and I can't remember how

    Well, the only way is to remove files. Preferably files that you no longer need or want.
    My advice would be to download and install OmniDiskSweeper, which tells you where your largest files and folders are. You can then decide which files can be wiped. It's a really good idea to have a backup of everything, just in case you change your mind later.
    Of course, you may decide that you can't delete anything, in which case your recourse would be to install a larger hard drive.

  • How do you install OS X on new harddrive????

    I am considering upgrading my 250 GB harddrive to a 500 GB harddrive. This is the first time I'll be changing out a HD on a laptop. All my previous macs have been desktops and was easier to install a new internal HD.
    I know that I should back up all my computer first. Done that through Time Machine. Can I just install the new harddrive and start up my mac? Or do I have to install my OS onto the new harddrive first before taking out the old one and inserting the new one?
    If that is the case what are easy step by step instructions to do that. I would hate to put a new HD in and end up not getting my Macbook to start at all.
    Help please.

    Great, that does help. I think I will do the same thing just reinstall the OS Leopard onto the new HD first then do the Migration Assistant. Thanks!
    This didn't answer my question exactly but I think I found the solution. Browsing online I was discovered that I needed to buy an inexpensive enclosure for the new 500 internal HD so I can install OS X. Then from that just simple install it into my MacBook and I'll be up and running with a bigger HD. I was so happy I was able to find an enclosure and new Western Digital SATA Internal HD for under $100.00!
    That's not actually an installation of OSX. That's a clone. It works very well. You can do the clone first, then boot externally (hold option while restarting) from the clone to make sure it's good to go. Then you can remove your original drive and install your new drive.
    The thing is which software you use to do the clone. I personally use Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • How do you export aperture library to external harddrive?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to save my entire Aperture library to an external harddrive. What are my options other than using Time Machine? Thanks

    Managed or Referenced Library?
    Assuming it's a Managed library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Aperture Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're using a Referenced Library then you'll need to relocate the Masters first.
