A newbie seeking help... hard drive

I recently took my computer to the apple store and was told that my main hard drive on my powermac g4 went out(western digital 800BB 80gb). I am looking for a replacement but i am completly overwhelmed by all the different harddrives that are out there. What is the best replacement harddrive that i can get for my g4? I mainly use my g4 for video editing. I have also come to an understanding that there is a 128gb limit on some of the g4s. How do I know if i have that limit on my G4? Any help will be highly appreciated seeing how i have been pulling my hair out over this.

Look at these links.

Possible Alternative - SpeedTools ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver: Allows the use of extended capacity ATA drives (drives greater than 128 Gigabytes in size) on older (Pre Mirrored Door) G4 and G3 Macintoshes running MacOS X versions 10.2 and later. Cost $24.95

Possible Alternative 2 - Larger than 128GB drives can be used by adding a PCI ATA/100 or ATA/133 controller card, one which is 48-bit LBA compliant; or by adding a PCI SATA controller card and using SATA drives.
You can put any size HD in an external firewire enclosure & have it bootable.

  • Please Help - Hard Drive Gone - Won't Mount - No AppleCare...

    Hi guys,
    I'm in trouble here..
    I was loading a bunch of photos from an external drive to iPhoto and my iMac froze up for a long time.
    I couldn't do anything at all - so I finally force-powered down.
    When I powered back up - My Hard Drive was gone and Finder will not open.
    Other applications in my dock such as web browsers, iTunes etc. seem to be unaffected - I can also access Disk Utility and other Apps through Spotlight, but No sign of my "Macintosh HD".
    I ran a "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility - and here's the report it provided:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    ---The "Repair Disk" Button in Disk Utility is all grayed out though so I can't run it...
    I'm at a loss. I can't afford AppleCare, and they won't help me because I'm just out of my 90 day phone support...
    I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac - the last Glossy White one before the new ones.
    I've got the latest version of Tiger.
    Any advice would be a Godsend. I'm afraid I may have ruined my iMac.
    Thanks!

    We usually try to give folks who come here simplified advice that keeps them comfortable troubleshooting and repairing their Macs and won;t raise other issues for them. Command line tools don't usually fall into the simplified category and fsck for Mac OS X Tiger is not recommended by Apple, except as a last resort. It is known to cause other issues.
    From the Apple Knowledge Base article that Dale has linked below;
    Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you should use Disk Utility instead of fsck, whenever possible.
    If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck.
    IMO, it isn't helpful for you to come along and contradict sound advice from folks who have used the Knowledge Base and are aware of Apple's recommendations because you think that you know better.

  • Terminal help - hard drive rescue

    Hi, I have a little bit of a problem. My hard drive is unbootable, but still mountable. *My goal is to gain access to the hard drive, and copy everything on it to an external hard drive*. Note, because it's unbootable, I don't have a lot of options.
    Also, *the Firewire port on the machine is not working*. Thus, any file transferring must be accomplished over USB or Ethernet. I also have access another Mac, if that would be of any assistance. Now let me throw you some ideas here. (For the record, I don't know if any of this will help, but it's worth a try.) *I have booted the machine off the Leopard Install Disc. This now gives you access to several options:*
    *Startup Disk. Disk Utility. Terminal. System Profiler. Network Profiler.*
    Something tells me Terminal might be able to make some magic happen. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the voodoo commands that can be issued in it to get this plan into action. I hear rumors about something called Single User Mode, however I know very little about it (other than, if entering the wrong command, erasing your drive).
    So if anyone out there has any suggestion as to how to set this up, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    How do you know the disk is mountable? Do you see it with Disk Utility when booted with the install disk? Try this, if you downloaded the 10.5.2 COMBO update before experiencing your problem. Boot with the install disk, select your language, select Disk Utility from Utilities->File->Open disk image, select the combo image, mount it, and try to run it, selecting the hosed HD. If you don't have the COMBO update, download it from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html, and transfer it to the HD via USB or ethernet from another computer. Since you don't have an operable FireWire port, using target disk mode (the preferred option) is out.
    If you can't do the above, then post your Terminal queries to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies where the Terminal and Unix gurus hang out. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106388 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106237 describe single-user mode operations.

  • Help, hard drive sled 4 torx screws are different types

    I have a late 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook. I was a Boy Scout and try to always be prepared. So I ordered a spare Seagate ST9160821AS drive. The copy went just fine. So I decided to order a spare hard drive sled from Ifixit.
    There I notice the 4 torx T-8 screws are not the same. 2 have "shoulders / built in washers" while 2 do not.
    So I remove my original sled and see the same 2 with shoulders and 2 without torx screws.
    Problem is I didn't pay any attention as to where they originally went.
    So if you have a virgin MacBook (or knowledge), could you tell me where the shouldered screws go. Maybe the end with the pull out tab or on the same side? I do not know.

    Thank you for the reply. I have carefully studied the 4 holes in the sled and they all seem to be the same diameter.

  • Help, hard drive issues!

    I can't boot from my start up disk, is there anything I can do? I've tried booting from the install disks, booting from my external drive, I tried Disk Warrior, and now I'm running Prosoft Data Rescue II to try to recover my data. Is there anything else worth trying? I'm desperate, I have all my school work on there. Thank you so much.

    Hi Graham
    Sorry to hear of your woes. I assume you don't have a backup?
    The only other things left that you haven't tried are FireWire Target Disk Mode (but you need access to another Mac for that) and, perhaps, Drive Genius.
    Also bear in mind that if you are going to use Data rescue, you need a spare drive with plenty of free space on it.

  • Another Newb seeks help

    First of all, I want to make clear I just want to start with basics, oh and I am using this as a hobby for now :D.
    All of these crazy tutorials are going way too fast or are actually skipping important parts, like the propper code for pointing out the variables or whatever they are that I am going to use.
    So I was wondering if you could tell me the code, point me the guide out or actually point me to a much slower simpler tutorial, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    My current situation+_
    This language is very confusing, I can barely programs that write one single text (From the Hello World Tutorial).
    I am trying to make a simple addition program to start off, but I can't find code that points out variables.
    And please don't be harsh, I am not sure if this is a serious community, but it is for beginners so...

    As for a book for beginners, I recommend Thinking In Java by Bruce Eckel. The 3rd edition is available for free and although it's not the most current version, covers the fundamentals you need to understand.I like Bruce Eckel and his book, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it as the best intro text.
    If the OP is having trouble with Hello World I'm not sure that TIJ is the best choice.

  • Newbie to MacBook needs help with using Itunes with external hard drive...

    I got a MacBook yesterday. I am trying set my Itunes up but having a big problem. When I try to sync music from my external TB hard drive into Itunes, the music is apparently being copied into the laptop HD and is being synced from there, instead of straight from my TB HD. I WANT the music to sync straight from the external HD and NOT being copied in the Mac HD first and then synced like it is doing right now. I don't want to use the Mac's hard drive because I have limited HD space on my Mac and unlimited external capacity. Can anyone help me in setting this up. i've looked for answers but can't seem to find on here. Thanks for all the help. I love this Mac and this is the only real bump I've had. Thanks again.

    Turn off the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences". iTunes will then just link to the tracks on the external drive rather than copying them to the internal. If you also want future imports and purchases to be saved to the external drive, change the location for the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes -> Advanced -> iTunes Music Folder location preference.
    Regards.

  • Newbie help needed. Cant save to a WD Elements Hard Drive!!!Going Crazy!

    We got our imac yesterday! Love it but.....only real issue that is driving me crazy and ruining the experience is that I can't save a pages doc to my WD Elements External Hard Drive. It is installed I can move stuff from it but nothing to it! When I select save as and pick "Elements" a message appears saying <the document "Test" could not be saved as "test". Read-only file system. Can any one explain
    Message was edited by: wyleybruce

    OSX can read but not write to NTFS formatted disks. If you want to keep the disk as NTFS, there are utilities (like NTFS3G ) you can get that will allow you to save to the disk as it is currently formatted.
    IMHO it would be better for you to reformat the disk as Mac OS Extended if you intend to use it on an ongoing basis with your new Mac. But remember to back up anything you want or need to keep, because reformatting will erase everything that is on the drive.
    (Notes: If you reformat the disk to Mac OS Extended and then you want to use it with a Windows system, you will need Macdrive on the Windows machine. The only format that is natively compatible on both platforms is FAT32.)

  • Disconnecting external hard drive error - PLS HELP!

    im an iMac newbie so i didnt know i was gonna encounter a problem when i manually disconnected my external hard drive from the USB port. when i disconnected it, an error message popped up saying something like the USB device was not properly disconnected..make sure to eject the device... this may cause loss of data, etc. So when i tried to plug in my external hard drive again, a message box popped up saying something like "the device is not compatible with this computer.." so i went and tried to connect the external hard drive on to my PC... as i expected, an error message popped up saying that it is not formatted yet and it was asking me if i want to reformat it..
    what should i do??? did i permanently lose all the data in my external hard drive?? is there any way to restore the files?? please help..

    As indicated in the previous post, you need to 'eject' the drive before you disconnect the cable or power down the external drive.
    to eject:
    click on the drive icon then press command-e
    right click or control click on the drive icon then select eject
    plus other methods
    I'd plug in the device & power up the device before starting the mac. This will force a drive check.
    With the device connected & power up, then run disk repair.
    harddrive > applications > utilities > Disk Utility
    On the left you will see a list of devices with the partitions on the device below the device icon. Select the device icon of the external device. Be sure to select the device not the partition on the device.
    Select the First Aid tab. See lower right.
    run verify
    run repair
    run verify
    what should i do??? did i permanently lose all the data > in my external hard drive?? is there any way to restore > the files?? please help..
    If the repair doesn't work you need to try a utility like disk warrior. If that dosn't work, you will need to try a commercial recovery firm.

  • Inserted my Mac Pro hard drives into a RAID enclosure accidentally... help!

    Hi guys,
    I am regular member of the Logic Pro forum, but am hoping for some help regarding a fairly large data loss disaster.
    I have recently sold my Mac Pro tower, in favour of a new iMac, and prior to selling I removed my two additional audio hard drives from the Mac Pro. Unfortunately these were only backed up a year ago (and now my slackness has come back to bite me!), and since then a fair bit of audio work has been completed in Logic Pro.
    My plan was to access the hard drives' content on my iMac using a dual-HD USB3 hard drive enclosure. I purchased the ORICO 3529 NAS series, which, while having RAID functionality, I also understood could be used simply as a dual drive unit for normal access of two drives.
    So when I got the ORICO unit, I put my two audio drives into it, and plugged into the iMac. I expected to see my drives, but instead I got the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". I had switched the ORICO to JBOD mode, but possibly not prior to initially powering up the unit - which it appears defaults to RAID mode.
    I have since tried the HDs in another single enclosure, as well as putting them in a friend's Mac Pro, and in both cases each disk brings up the same error.
    It appears I have somehow formatted these drives to be part of a RAID setup, just by putting them in the RAID unit. I am not sure whether this means that all my data is lost, or whether instead it means that the directory or some other part of the file structure or format have been damaged and need to be re-built. While I am a competent computer user in a music context (using Pro Tools and Logic Pro), I am by no means a programmer, and am not really sure where to go from here.
    Two of the very helpful regulars on the Logic Pro forum have advised me that potentially a tool like DiskWarrior might help recover the data, although as we went through some additional troubleshooting, they have since suggested that DiskWarrior may not be the solution, and instead I should talk to a RAID specialist about how to recover some of the data on these disks.
    So on that note I thought I would put it out here for any Mac users who might be experienced with RAID and willing to make any recommendations. In the meantime I am not going to try to use any tools (like DiskWarrior) in case they cause more harm when in fact I should be seeking out a RAID expert to work on the solution with me.
    If you have any thoughts or have had an experience similar (if you are as silly as me!), I would be grateful for any suggestions you might be able to offer.
    Cheers and thanks!
    Mike

    Also, first thing is don't touch change or modify. Disconnect and get them off line.
    The first program that can probably help, http://www.SoftRAID.com - their demo (the support they give is probably worth the cost too). Alsoft Disk Warrior support - even remote login - also can be excellent if or when needed.
    SoftRAID 'takes over" the Apple RAID and can do wonders.
    What you have is an external device with its own built-in bridge and probably a switch (mirror, stripe, JBOD, None).
    You need to get them in a case that has no built in bridge or RAID of its own. A Mac Pro would be excellent.
    See what OWC has in external cases. http://www.macsales.com/firewire ( a good place to start looking at any type of external interface for storage)

  • Help, I need to search for duplicate photos in my external hard drive

    Hi Mr. Toad and others who have been answering questions in these forums:
    Thank you very much for all your help so far. I have been using a mac for the last few years and LOVE IT! I was wondering if I could pick your brain for a moment. I have backed up my iphoto library onto my external hard drive...a few times...once or twice before I really knew what I was doing. There are a couple of folders that I fear have duplicates and I wasn't diligent about naming pics after having a baby (and now I know the errors of my ways). Now I have lots of folders like 01, 02, 03, etc and within each, there are the different days of the month. So, my question to you is do you know of a program that can seek on my external hard drive and show me duplicates and ask me if I want to remove them? I am trying a program right now called DupeGuru, but it has been running for abot 6 hours already and is only 1/4 done!!! It isn't even showing me that it's found any dupes yet. I've looked at iphoto diet and duplicate annihilator and both seem to only work with iphoto.
    I really need an application or workflow to search my iomega 80g usb drive. if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them. My brain hurts trying to figure all of this out. Thanks again for your help!!!
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    well PhillyPhan, I can't tell that you're better looking just by your iphoto icon, now can I? Although it is a lovely sunset you've got there.
    Thanks for your response to my question, I see your point and will do that, however, I have another folder that was created before I had a Mac, which has all sorts of lovely titles and labels and some of those pictures I brought over to my ibook when I first started. So there are some duplicates in my iphoto library that I already have backed up in that other folder. I guess I shouldn't really obsess about those. I guess I am just nervous about deleting all my prior iphoto library, but I should have faith that it will all be there in my pictures library. Just trying to clean up the virtual mess.
    I'll hold my breath and take the plunge.
    Thanks!

     I just need to know the steps if I add the 2nd drive or the steps (if I need a cable) to replace the old drive with the new drive. Would this drive be considered my boot drive? When I ask for the steps, I am more concerned with the turning off the computer and what things I need to unplugged, etc. Then once the new drive is in place, do I simply run the recovery discs or is there an easier way?
    I tried to run a backup but it stopped and wouldn't let me. I have all my important things like photo's movies, etc already backed up.

Remove the old drive, replace it with the new one and use the recovery disk set. Choose factory image recovery.

Put the new drive in the same place as the old one and use the same (data and power) cables that were connected to it.
