09' + EXT HD = 0 RAM !
Hello out there!
I recently upgraded my ram to 4 gigs and it is working much better. However, in iMovie 09 when I connect a buffalo EXT HD I can see all the free ram used up in the activity monitor. I have another Western Digital EXT HD. and this doesn't happen with that make. The Buffallo is about 3 years old and the WD is new. I can't even import projects from the buffallo cause there is no free RAM and the beach ball starts spinning and then 09 shuts down... Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi QuicktimeKirk!
What a great name! Maybe I explained this wrong. The EXT HD does not show empty, it drains all the RAM as soon as it's connected. I can literally watch it on the activity monitor pie chart of free RAM. The green portion just drains away and in 30 seconds is completely gone and replaced by half yellow and 1/4 blue, 1/4 red. After this, whenever I try to do something in 09' I get the beach ball and it shuts itself down. There is no drainage of the RAM when I connect the EXT HD alone, and when I connect the other EXT HD and use 09' there is no drain and everything works well. Neither one of them have this problem when interacting with iMovie HD 06'. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

In IE, while saving a file it is taking the full path with the file name
Hi,I am using Tomcat5.5. In one page of my website, there is code responsible for saving an image from the server to the client machine. whenever i am doing this Mozila the file is getting saved with desired name.

Problems with nVidia 9600 on my MB pro
I use 'mosaic' screen sever. But I have some problems with VGA nVidia 9600 on Snow Leopard. If I use the VGA 9400 it's all OK, but when I use the nVidia 9600 the picture of the screen sever (mosaic) is inverted in first time, and after 1 second the picture is ok.. I hope you can understand my problem.. Can you try this screen sever with nVidia 9600? thanks.
my mac: MacBook pro 15'' Alu 2,66GHz, 320Gb+160Gb di hdd ext, 4Gb di ram DDR3 1067, nVidia 9400m + nVidia 9600m GTHello ka.
You will find a lengthy thread dealing with this issue at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10127873
Some people appear to have been able to overcome the problem by changing the number of rows. In other cases it appears that specific graphics processors produce problems similar to your own.

Where to ask about an OLDER iMac?
Hi guys, looks like this board is largely about the newer iMacs; where on here could I ask about the capabilities/potential of an older iMac??
I just had to ask because my parents have one of the older 1999 or so era blue iMacs, format Mac OS Ext., 320 MB RAM built in memory, OS 9.2.2, w/ a 6.29 GB drive that has 3.29 GB. I want to try to upgrade the OS for them over the holiday to make it just a LITTLE more internet-compatible (since whenever I come home it's practically impossible to check out a lot of sites; I don't even think they've been able to get onto their Netflix account lately that I gave them). Obviously I can understand why anyone would question why you'd bother upgrading such an older model; I'm hoping to give them my newer model G4 as soon as I myself upgrade to a newer computer in a few months, but I just was hoping to give them a temporary upgrade for the time being.
(As a side note, I have an External drive that's formatted to my G4--still running Tiger--that I was hoping to use to backup any important files from their boot drive prior to the installation--and in turn copy any upgrades they may need from--and wanted to know if you'd think the iMac could read it).
Anyone know??? Thanks so much.Just look a little further down and you will see the iMac CRT discussion area. That is where your parent's iMac would be discussed.
For iMac G4 questions go to the "iMac (Flat Panel)" discussion area.
For iMac G3 questions go to the "iMac (CRT)" discussion area. -
Creating Menus with CMs made in DVDSP4
I'm not quite sure how to explain what I want but here goes...I encode my movies using BitVice, but before doing so I have to open the movie in QT Pro and turn on the text track so that BitVice will recognize the chapter markers. For some reason today though I am unable to open a wedding video I exported out of FCP 5. QT crashes as soon as I select the file. It doesn't do it with any other file. Anyway I sent the movie straight to BitVice and I'll create the markers in DVDSP4. However, when I met with the client they were really impressed with the Chapter Menus. So here's my question: Can I still create the menus after I set the markers in DVDSP4, so it would like it normally does when I import a movie with pre-set markers?
G5 1.8ghz single Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 int 160GB HDs 250GB ext 2.75GB RAM DVDSP4 FCP5.04 QT pro 7.1.2.If I understand you correctly, that's no problem. I believe the only significant difference creating the markers in DVD SP instead of FCP, is that you're limited to setting markers at I-frames in the GOP structure. That is, you won't be able to set the markers as frame-accurately as you would in FCP. Shouldn't be an issue unless you have very specific frames where you need markers. When you create your menus you'll be able to link to any markers you just created.

I do a lot ofhow much RAM does ps cs5/6 ext use with CAF?
how much RAM does photoshop cs5 extended use with Content-Aware-Fill?
please state the size of the image, how many layers you have (makes a difference).
please do this for 2 different size images.
I could also use some cs6 numbers as well, since this is the current ps.
should be as simple a psd as possible.
I need to know for a 32-bit and a 64-bit machine.
I would like to use these two numbers for making a calculator that does some very basic calculations as to how much memory would be required to run photoshop given:
image size
content-aware fill
radial blur
number of layers
content-aware move (in CS6)
this means several types of test plans:
32-bit ps ext CS5:
different image sizes SMALL and LARGE (these sizes will be used throughout the tests below, save them as PSD's)
SMALL and LARGE with 2 layers
SMALL and LARGE with content-aware fill, like taking out a telephone pole. hit F1 if you don't know how.
SMALL and LARGE with radial blur (this takes a while to run). hit F1 if you don't know how or refer to this: http://ksimonian.com/Blog/2010/02/24/improved-photoshop-benchmark-cpu-speed-test-for-both- mac-pc-free-radial-blur-filter-test/
SMALL and LARGE with content-aware fill and then radial blur (this takes a while to run). this step is purely optional.

if you know of a more memory-intensive operation, such as radial blur (maybe that's only cpu-intensive), I would be interested in knowing about this.
if you know of a more memory-intensive operation, such as radial blur (maybe that's only cpu-intensive), I would be interested in knowing about this.
the number of layers seem to multiply the RAM required in CS5. I think. the amount of RAM required to do photoshop seems to be a much-talked about subject and the subject of much variableness, and I wanted to nail it down a little.
I thought I would make a calculator that can estimate the amount of RAM required for a system to do, say, multilayer gigapixel content-aware-fill stuff in ps, something I know I would do a lot of. I also hear RAM requirements has changed in CS6. it would be interesting to characterize it.
I am making it here: http://Jesusnjim.com/calculators/photoshop-ram-usage.html
and as soon as I can get some completed set of numbers infor CS5 or , it will be ready
you can tell how much memory us in use by doing [windows-logo-flag-key]taskmgr[Enter] or doing ctrl-alt-del and bringing up the task manager,
clicking on the prcesses tab,and looking for Photoshop.exe
if you don't see mem usage, do View,Select columns.
it's a lot of testing, I know, it should not take too long to finish. but I think it might help a lot of folks when they are trying to figure out how to spec their PS box.

something automatically hit the send button before I could finish.
Message was edited by: jmichae1the numbers basically would form a linear graph in memory usage when it comes to things like
number of layers
image size
I am not throwing away my data because someone is poo-pooing it.
CAF is just an 11x multiplier in every case I have used it. I am curious what the cs6 new content-[fill-in-the-blank] features use for memory. and I probably can't get anyone else to test it for me, because nobody seems to know how that I have met on the forums except me (I have been doing testing for 27 years and design/development for as long as I can remember - am I getting that old?).
the numbers in these cases are linear, for initial operations (I should qualify that on the page). as you said (according to my numbers), subsequent ops cause increased memory usage. I see this in soundbooth, to the point of out of memory error and crash.
I didn't do graphs because I didn't think it was worth it. I have proved my point to myself.
I think looking back I should have expressed more of what I found (and you guys have just stated it). page editing takes a lot of thought. I guess I missed that 1 necessary thing I noticed and didn't pay enough attention to - ps RAM usage growth from ops doesn't quit until you close it.
found out ps ram usage is not a compendium of all the features (maybe the major ones). the filters use pretty much no noticeable RAM.
adjustments don't either I don't think (haven't tested that).
I just want to help others who are trying to size a new box and don't know how much RAM to get if they are doing a 40x27 poster. and which type of machine: a desktop, laptop, or workstation (which can handle more memory). and which OS (windows 8 handles 512GiB max, windows 7 handles 192GiB max, windows server standard handles multi-terabytes of RAM). why? because I have to size one for myself! and I have some large images I will be working with.
Memory Limits for Windows Releases (Windows)
very few people know about this memory limitation on windows, but it's keenly felt when someone is buying a workstation. microsoft publishes the memory limits on its software for issues like this. -
Trying to figure out what's using my RAM
A couple of weeks ago I starting to notice that my memory was getting chewed up slowly until I'd hit around 20MB remaining. the only way that I could free up the space is through 3rd party memory utilities such as FreeMemory. It appears on further inspection memory appears to go inactive, but this isn't very healthy, yet very odd, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a memory leak somewhere.
Any help would be wonderful. Below is my Etracheck log. I've attempted to remove alll external hard drives and other devices connected via either thunderbolt and USB with no change. Rebooted a few times however the memory gets eaten right up again.
My initial thought was that it's somehow VMWare however my Windows 7 instance is running at a fixed rate, and even with the instance shut down, my computer would still eat up any available memory.
Thank you!

Are you a former WindowsPC user?
You do not need all of this software crap and "garbageware" you have installed on your Mac.
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
With 16 GBs of RAM, you should not be experiencing any memory Page out issues. Yet, you have over a GB of memory Page outs!
You are, probably running tooo many applications at once. You need to cut back the amount of open applications that you have up and running concurrently OR install even MORE RAM!
Your year and model Mac can take up to 32 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Unless you are running Kaspersky antivirus software under your Windows setup, completely uninstall this from OS X per instructions on the developer's website.
OS X does not need antivirus software. Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have adverse and negative effects on performance and operation of OS X.
Compleley uninstall CleanMyMac per the instructions on the developer's website.

Again, you have waaaaay toooo many user startup/login items!
You need to really, REALLY, look at these at determine what you need to have launch at startup or Login.
You really need to whittle this waaaay down!
All of these items launching at startup/login is causing a large part of your Mac slowdowns.
Add or remove automatic items
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Select your user account, then click Login Items.
Do one of the following:
Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)

Google software is ,currently, not 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Especially Google Chrome and Drive.

If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, try using Mozilla Firefox, instead. Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and there is a new update available.
Also, Telestream Flip4Mac plugin is an issue on OS X Mavericks. If there is no Mavericks update for this plugin, then completely unistall this plugin per instructions on the Telestream website. Use the newest version of VLC player, instead.
Completely Uninstall MacFUSE. There hasn't been any updates for this in a couple of years and is outdated and incompatible with Mavericks. Uninstall per instructions on the developer's website, also.
You need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied.
You may need to,ACTUALLY, go to the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, extensions and add ons, also.
Also, if you have any connected third party devices, like non-Apple keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to go to the device makers' websites' and update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions, if available, applicable and needed.
Good Luck to you! -
Power Supply blows a fuse, Ext Soundcard power outages, Time Machine.
Power Supply blows a fuse, Ext Soundcard momentary power outages. Time Machine won't backup.
Ok here's my setup
Mac Book Pro 13" APRIL 2011 latest firmware. 8GB RAM. Surge Protected mains connection..
M-AUDIO FIREWIRE SOUNDCARD AUDIOPHILE most recent drivers and powered by the MacBooks Firewire Out using a NEET Pro Lead,
The M-Audio has 2 x Firewire Ports and I take one to a 2TB 7800rpm Iomega iMedia Drive which daisy chains to a 1TB FireWire Seagate HardDrive and yes both are Pre Powered and formatted for Time Machines exclusive use.
The M-Audio Firewire module can be pre powered but isn't for this reason, the FireWire Out from the Mac IS pre powered, and I'm using a good quality NEET lead that powers the Audiophile ok over the last few months. I have been warned by the manual if I add a power supply to a pre powered firewire chain I could damage equipment, I'm now running the the screen as low as possible and the backlit keys off to minimise power drain, I also use an Acer 24" Monitor with a NEET DV mini port to HDMI adaptor and it's been working great but this must be more power drain on the power supply, One of the USB ports goes to an Native Instruments Maschine Sampler Module, the other goes to a Pre Powered 4 Port USB Hub and that has been fine, it has 1 Axiom 25 USB Midi Keyboard, 2 Pre Powered Hard Discs 1 Portable USB Drive. Now the problems started with Time Machine it can't backup and I get Hard Disk Unsafe Disconnects and Failed Time Machine Backups and Now my Soundcard does the same in that it momentarily disconnects and reconnects in a second, in Settings under ENERGY SETTINGS I've set hard drives to Never Shut Down, and the Screen also, it's been more frequent, then a fuse blows in the Power Supply without tripping up my Surge Protector Socket pfft! just great, well it is only a 3AMP Fuse in the Plug Socket but it saved my MacBook!, ok checks Mains, yes it's old, and I've started using the Central Heating alot now and when it turns on it could be causing a power surge, same with the FridgeFreezer. Things i've tried, on the Seagate pre powered FireWire Hardisc I have switched the Firewire lead to its second FW port, I got no errors with Time Machine this time, not 100% it's done yet, Soundcard resets in Logic 9 ****, I do have 2 lower quality Firewire Leads that go from the Soundcard to the 2 harddrives will need upgrading ASAP, thats next, I recon its time to upgrade the Soundcard as well for a Focusrite or similar as all my M-Audio Soundcards would literaly loose there minds on PCs and Macs, flakey drivers would just drop out of the Audiophole Firewire Card, more than I care to mention, so if that happens it could explain why the Time Machine drive drops out also, hmmm, and there was me thinking if I used a Mac it would all be ok. wrong. Would apreciate any qualified input, thanks.Ok some updates I see, 6 in total including a firmware and security upgrades, also two Native Instruments Updates, Reaktor and Kontakt. I will be testing, this. Before the Updates I managed to peak the CPU load in Logic 9 and was only using 14 tracks, will need to bounce the Synth Plugs and drum tracks and run all the source samples from the Local internal drive a Hitachi 5400rpm drive hmmm :/ will experiment, anyway my Iomega FW drive froze up the Iomega Mac Companion is the correct name for it 2TB 7800rpm but it met it's match or was is the processor? Still sussing it all out. Firewire leads upgrade in effect. testing.. bleep. .

The Question: Using my older Dell desktop*, can I safely buy a 2 TB ext HD and (with no problems) connect using USB ?
*(Dimension 8254, with Pentium 4 CPU 2.8 GHz and 2 GB RAM, running Win XP Pro 2002 version and Service Pack 3. The int HD is Maxtor 6B250RO)
I use the Dell to run PhotoShop CS4 about 4 hours a day generating posters and flyers for charitable events, and have vast collections of huge graphics files that I need to store somewhere and access now and then. I have been using a Western Digital 500 GB ext HD (The Book) and it has served for a year with no problems except it is nearing capacity.
I suspect that 2 TB might be more than my system can keep track of, much less still handle the demands of the PhotoShop program.
Does my system have an upper size limit for hard drives that I should be aware of? I need to know so that I don't buy this expensive hardware and then discover that I can't use it, or that it causes big problems in the future. And if it CAN handle the 2 TB HD, I'm worried that it would slow things down and my PhotoShop program might freeze up, or some other nasty situation develop.
I obviously would benefit from a new computer with Win 7 and 8 GB RAM, with a terrabyte HD, but I'm trying to work with what I have.
Anyone want to offer some insight?
Solved!

You are using an older IDE drive in your system so it's likely you don't have a SATA port on your board and even if you used an ATA/SATA port adapter, there's a strong possibility that your onboard chipset wouldn't work with a drive as large as 2TB. Your only real option is an add-in SATA 2 PCI card which would allow you to connect a 2TB SATA HDD to your system through the card's onboard SATA chipset. -
I currently have 8GB ram and the stock video card and an ssd HD 240 GB.

It's not state of the art hardware, but it's not chopped liver either.

How to identify damaged files in ext HDD?
Early 2008 iMac - iMac8,1 - Intel Core 2 Duo - OS X 10.6.8 - (int) Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB - (ext) OWC Qx2 enclosure w. 4x2TB TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 - Wacom Intuos Pen&Touch tablet (no mouse) - DSL - Flash Player.
I think hardware is the place for this question.
I inherited this iMac back in May/June, spent a month or two with it, did a fresh install of Leopard, and then Snow Leopard on top of that. Everything seemed fine. Speedy response. Decent browsing speed, even with my crappy 3 Mbps DSL.
I added two separate HW upgrades: a SSD int hard drive + RAM to 4GB (installed by reputable local shop), and added a 4-bay ext HDD set up as 4 independent drives, JBOD (purchased from OWC). I feel I made a mistake in doing both of those things at the same time, as I immediately encountered glitches that have been hard to troubleshoot. The worst was the ext HDD / enclosure suddenly un-mounting all by itself, complete with error message ("was not ejected properly"), promptly after which the drives reappear on the desktop, with their contents seemingly in place.
I'm not looking for help troubleshooting; I think I've found the problem, at least for the un-mount issue (bad FW port, thankfully there are two). There might or might not be lingering stall-when-opening-folder issues, too soon to tell. Both vendors have been helpful with their responses.
What I'd like to know is how (or if) the contents of the ext HDDs can be scrutinized for damage? This un-mount thing happened at least a dozen times, and several other times I was forced to manually shut down the HDD enclosure when everything else was frozen. I have to think something's been corrupted or damaged with all of that un-ejected off-and-on activity.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!Old Toad wrote:

The only meaningful test of whether there are "corrupt files" is to use the computer. If it behaves normally, you can assume that the operating system and applications are intact. As for your other files, open the most important of them and see whether the contents are what you expect.
Though swapping the FW port SEEMS to have stopped the sudden un-mounting (maybe not enough time spent scrutinizing that yet), there is still problematic behavior. Just this evening, after the desktop was on all day but saw little use (Safari, iTunes), I tried simply opening one of the hard drives:
- 8 minutes to simply open the window. Spinning beach ball. Window changed dimensions from prior use, appeared as though it was opened for the first time. It showed no contents.
- 20 more minutes to show contents. During this time, the spinning progress wheel spun. Contents finally showed up.
- 8 more minutes to open one folder. Spinning progress wheel.
Contents appear to be there. This is a storage disc, no backups ever performed. This new 2TB drive contains only 100GB.
This stall seemingly caused other stalls elsewhere. Namely, a simple text copy-and-paste function in TextEdit. When the HDD finally decided to finish, TextEdit was available to me again.

Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
Any suggestions or advice?
Once again thank you very much for your reply.
Cheers,The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!! -
I upgraded the ram all on my own...
i'm happy to report that my MacMini G4 is now sporting a brand new 1 Gig RAM stick and is zipping along beautifully.
i should say however that had i known what the experience would be like (having completed an upgrade on my own), i would probably not have opened the mini on my own.
it's a lot harder than they make it look in some of these online videos. you see some of these professionals simply slide in the putty knife and crack open the case. in fact it took a while (and a bit more force than i cared to use) to slide the putty knife into the seam. (and i even used the apple recommended putty knife that i found on ufixit.com)
also, a lot of these videos use Minis without Bluetooth so in the video the Bluetooth antenna doesn’t need to be removed. there is a tiny little screw holding the antenna in place and it was pretty hard to get to and pretty easy for said screw to fall deep into the mini's guts with the only hope of ever fnding it being taking the entire thing apart completely.
as you can imagine, there is not a lot of room to work in such a compact package.
but that wasn't even the worst part:
reattaching the cover once the upgrade is done was the most frightening for me. that's when the oddest sounds were heard (think cracked components, dislodged components!! -- i literally swallowed my heart like 5 times) and i swore that i had done such a poor job of it that the seam in the cover for the optical disc would not line up with the internal superdrive slot!!
thankfully one bit of the video i watched explained the best way to reattach the case and although it doesn't sound like great advice when you first start pushing down on the case, in the end you come to find that there is really no better method.
for all that doomsday speak, i am happy to report that so far at least -- thankfully -- everything (including disc burning/playback, Bluetooth, and airport) seems to be working a-ok. but i have to tell you, a smarter man would have had his mini upgraded by a professional.
when i was ordering my upgrade parts (and watching all the splendid how-to videos) i had all these fantasies about how i was going to install a 160 MB HD (or bigger!!), maybe get an 8X Superdrive (it's a pain to not be able to burn DL DVDs!), maybe even overclock the processor. the sky was the limit, really...
fast forward to right now...
i can honestly say with near 100% certainty that this is the last time i will open my mini myself. ever.
well maybe not ever. but -- especially now with added muscle provided by the 1 gig of ram -- this lil mini has a few miles to go before retirement. once it is retired i will probably find lot of use for it as a sort of frankenstein, but that's still a ways away.
(if only more 3rd party apps woud go unibin already. i would totally go intel, but until then it's all about the PPC)
in the end, the upgrade was totally worth it. but the $50 i saved installing it myself has taken a bit of a toll on my soul. in a couple days i will probably have forgotten all about this, and you’ll probably hear me posting "you can do it, it was nothing!" kind of advice to those thinking of undertaking an upgrade of the mini on their own. but right now, today, i wanted to let the record show that they really mean it when they say the mini has no user serviceable parts. the whole process felt somehow un-natural as if i was doing something i wasn’t supposed to be doing.
i think i'll stick to taking apart powerbooks and other notebooks. its a whole lot easier than cracking open the mini.hmmm maybe Apple changed the case on the intel minis. I added 2gb to my intel mini and it was pretty easy. I just used a putty knife I bought at the hardware store and in about ten minutes had it open. The only difficult part was putting the four tiny screws back in that hold the drive unit in place, I just don't see that well anymore and they were hard to get back into place. Otherwise not too much trouble. As far as upgrading the hard disk etc. it's easier to add a faster external drive so I would not bother unless you really must have the internal storage.

What is the best USB 3.0 (small) ext HDD for recording my music on
Hello everybody!
i start with saying...........
A Happy Newyear!!!!!
I wish you all the very best and love.
Now for my question.
I would like to know what is the best portable usb 3.0 external HDD for recording my music on.
Because since today i am a very happy new owner of the new Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz, with 8 GB of Ram and 256 GB of Flash.
.... and yes it has the Samsung Retina Display
Since 8 years i use Logic Pro and because the flash is only 256 Gb i want to record on a external drive
and not on the internal storage (and especially now with usb 3.0).
But i would like to know what is the best portible external HDD for this function.
500 GB is enough for me because i have 2x a 2 TB for my Mac Pro and Macbook pro where i make back ups from all my music (2 back ups just to be safe).
Some Examples i saw:
- WD My passport USB 3.0 - 500 GB harde schijf
- G-Technology 500GB G-DRIVE Slim USB 3.0-harde schijf
- LaCie 500GB Rugged Triple USB 3.0 externe harde schijf
- Freecom Mobile drive mg 500 GB harde schijf
- Western Digital My Passport Essential SE USB 3.0 500 GB harde schijf
I would really like some good advise in this.
Hope you guys can help me out with this.
Greetings,
Glenn Cornelisse
Gaya Productions Studio
The Hague, NetherlandsI cannot speak specifically about any of those Ext HDs because i don't own any of them..
But...
Make sure the external drive is 7200rpm.... and not 5400rpm or a 'green' drive with something called "varipower' or a similar name... -
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/
I ran EtreCheck and there are a couple of issues (I've no idea what they mean).
If anybody could share some light into the report below I would be very grateful:

HozThanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
This has happened about a dozen times.
I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!
Hoz
