A3 Reference masters from fat 32 to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

I have A3 and all of my photos are organized as referenced masters on a Fat 32 formated external. The A3 library (where all my alterations are) is on my imac pictures folder on the imac HD. My Vault is on my current MAc OS extended (journaled) external. (I have two externals- 1 Mac formattd--1 fat 32)
A3 has multple problems when updating etc with Fat 32. I will be reformatting my current fat 32 to Mac OS or getting a new external and formatting it to MAc OS extended (journaled).
Here is my question:
How do I move my current reference files from the fat 32 external into the new external formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled) and still have my A3 read off the reference files? As stated above my A3 library is on my imac HD in the picures folder. It is currently pulling the reference masters off my fat 32 formatted external.
My idea is to have the vault on one of my mac formatted externals and the reference files on another. I am just trying to get away from fat 32 as 100% of my mulitmudia stuff is mac based.
thanks

Will going to: File>Relocate Masters do what you want. Allan

You will need to perform an Internet Recovery or be able to boot the computer using a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or later DVD. For the former:
Restart the computer and at the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until you see a globe appear in the gray startup screen. This may take a little while so be patient. You need to have an internet connection for this to work - preferably using Ethernet.
After a fairly long period of time - 15 minutes or more - the recovery screen will appear. Select Disk Utility from the main menu, and click on the Continue button.
1. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
3. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
5. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
6. After formatting is done quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Install OS X from the main menu and click on the Continue button. Follow the onscreen instructions to install OS X onto the internal drive.

How can I transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive?

Community,
Every time I try to transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive, I receive the attached message: "You can't copy 'iPhoto Library' because it has the same name as another ideon on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't destinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
My theory is, if I am able to unpackage my iphoto library, I can transfer each folder one at a time so that I can trouble shoot any "duplicates." Will this work?
Let's say that works. How can I repackage the library so iphoto recognizes it?
Is there a better way?
Thank you,
Jonathan

Can we assume that I don't have any naming conflicts? Clearly there are or else I wouldn't get the error I'm getting.
The error doesn't mean you have name conflicts. It means that the Finder won't take the chance that you might have them.
You're suggesting that all I would need to do would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the files from the case-sensative harddrive to my Extended Journaled harddrive?
Yes. But I would just use the built-in rsync shell command. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
rsync -aE --delete
Now drag the iPhoto library you want to copy into the window. You should have something like this:
rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
Drag the Pictures folder on the destination volume into the window. Now you have this (line will wrap on the page):
rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library /Volumes/something/Users/you/Pictures
Press return. The copying operation will start. When it finishes, you'll see a new dollar-sign ("$") prompt below what you entered. If there were no errors, you're done.

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
Thanks for any advice in advance!

My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

How can I partition my external hard drive into NTFC and Mac OS Extended Journaled?

I brought a 1tb external hard drive from Western Digital. It currently have one partition which is Mac OS X (Journaled). I want to have two partition, one Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and one NTFC for Windows. When I try to choose 2 partition and choose a partition type, I only get the following choices:
1. Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
2. Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled)
3. MS-DOS (FAT)
4. ExFAT
5. Free Space
I don't want to use MS-DOS (FAT) because I am limited to only 32gb of space and I need plenty of space for Windows files.

Assuming that entire drive is GUID and you keep the existing journaled partition.
Make a second partition that is exFAT (more storage ability than FAT) using DU.
Then mount the drive on a Windows 7 and reformat that exFAT as NTFS. But remember that Mac can read and write exFAT natively, but cannot write NTFS without special software. Perhaps exFAT is what you want.
But more the the point: is the journaled partition used as a backup device? If it is, I would leave that drive alone as a backup drive and use a second device for "data only" sharing between types.

Formatting an External HD as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

I am having a challenge formatting my external hard drive in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. From reading the forums I found out that I can not copy my iMovie events to the external HD unless it is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have a Sans Digital Towerstor external HD enclosure with 2 Seagate 1.5TB hard drives in it. I have been using this setup formatted as FAT with no issues. That is until I started running out of HD space on my 24" iMac. After trying unsuccessfully yo copy my iMovie events to the external HD I found out that it was formatted incorrectly. I have since made copies of all my information and set the external hard drives to a Raid 0 configuration so I can format both drives.
I tried many times to format my external HD's in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with no success. I kept receiving the error "Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed." I read some additional articles that suggested I try the Partition tab as opposed to the Erase tab in the Disk Utility. I was able to successfully format the drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Since this external drive is meant as a redundant backup I changed the Sans Digital Towerstor to a Raid 1 configuration so there is a mirror image of one of the drives. It would not recognize the drive after I set it back to Raid 1 so I tried to repartition the main drive again using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I received the same error as I did before..."Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed."
I need to have the drives in the Towerstor as a mirror backup of each other as I have a lot of important information. Any adivec you can give on how to partition these drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in a Raid 1 configuration would be most appreciated.
Thank you for you time and input.

Thank you for your response. I was able to successfully format the drives Extended journaled when they were out of the raid configuration. I was not able to format as Extended (not journaled) in the Raid configuration.

Too Late for Mac OS Extended Journaled??

Hi guys! So i got a another firewire HD, 250GB by acomdata. It's formatted under FAT 32 for both windows and mac, after after reading several posts, it's best to format it under mac os extended. the problem is I already put about 30 GB of files on it. Is it too late for me to reformat it? do i have to remove all the files, then do it? If someone can provide step by step instructions that won't harm my files, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You understand that if you reformat the drive for Mac OS Extended that you will no longer be able to use the drive on a PC?
If you do reformat the drive you need to do so as follows:
1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

Cloned drive reads as MS-DOS even though formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Question: How can I get my friend's MacBook 5,1 to properly boot from a cloned drive?
I have a friend with a MacBook 5,1 and I'm trying to help her to install a new hard drive. I followed the instructions here using Apple Disk Utility to clone the hard drive. For cloning, I had the original drive in the laptop and the clone was attached via an external SATA to USB adapter. The specs on the drive are here:
WD Scorpio Black 500 GB SATA Hard Drives ( WD5000BPKT)
After I cloned the drive I set it to boot, externally, on startup and was successful. I placed a test file in the Desktop folder of the cloned drive and confirmed on startup that I was indeed booting off the clone. The problem occurred when I attempted to install and then boot the drive from within the laptop. I received a blinking folder with a question mark. I then attached the old drive via the SATA to USB adapter, booted up, and opened Disk Utility (note: click image to see full size):
Note the partion size, name, and size are nothing like what I originally saw. So I swapped the old drive back in, attached the clone externally and had a look to see what Disk Utility showed (note: click image to see full size):
Summary of differences:
Feature
Internally
Externally
Volume Name
DISK0S1
Macintosh HD
Format
MS-DOS (FAT)
Mac OS Extneded (Journaled)
Size
62.51 GB
499.76 GB
Partition Map Scheme
Master Boot Record
GUID Partition Table
So for some reason the drive shows one partion scheme/size/name when mounted externally, and another completely different set when mounted internally. I'm inclined to believe the second since I did successfully boot from this drive externally.
Is it possible I just need to clear the Master Boot Record? Or is there some other solution that should work?

I'll have access to the machine again next Tuesday. I can do more tests then re: holding down the Option key. I did try a bunch of key combinations during boot that I found online but none seemed to have any affect. I only received the blinking Folder icon.
The original hard drive has a single partition. As shown in the logs above, the replacement drive was formatted with a single partition. I am noticing one anomaly in the logs, which seems to indicate both failure and success. I don't remember seeing any indication via the GUI that there were any issues.

How much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

how much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

A lot depends on if you are having Apple do the replacement or an authorized repair or another source. The Apple prices seem to run in the neighborhood of $500, some have posted prices as low as $200 from un-authorized sources.
Check with an Apple store or authorized service first so you have a reference point...and be sure to take into consideration the confidence you feel in the repair facility, you often get what you pay for.

Unable to format external hard disk as mac os extended (journaled)

Have just bought a 750gb Western digital HDD. To be able to use it to store video to use in i movie it needs to be formatted in mac os extended (journal). However when I try to do this in disk utility I get a volume erase error reporting an error on exit. the resulting disk is then unreadable until it is formatted back to MS-Dos (fat) again. Any tips or have I just wasted my money on a disk that is not compatible. On the box it says it is compatible with OSX 10.2.8+?

Try the directions in this article. They are for formatting a drive for Time Machine but will work just fine for your purposes.

How to format an external hard disk Mac Os Extended (Journaled)?

hello
I connect an external hard disk (2.5' IDE Western Digital Scorpio Blue, WD2500BEVE) via USB or FireWire to my Mac mini. The Disk Utility tool shows an external disk drive of 128 GB - but the disk has 250 GB. How can I format the external USB/Firewire-harddisk 250 GB "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"?
I tried also to format the disk on a Windows PC (Windows XP). But I could not find a software to format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
Any hints on this? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

As I use theses hard disks in a external hard disk case, I'm asking me whether my hard disk cases do not support more that 128 GB disk capacity. Is that realistic?
It is not only realistic but probably the reason your Mac cannot see more than 128 GB of the capacity of the drives mounted in them. It has nothing to do with the interface between the Mac & case (like Firewire) but instead with the controller in the case that connects the raw ATA drive to that interface. Older ATA standards used a 28 bit LBA (logical block address) scheme to access the disk. For 512 bytes per sector this works out to a maximum of 128 GB of addressable disk capacity. The ATA-6 standard, also called Ultra-ATA/100 or just ATA-100, increased the bits in the address space from 28 to 48, with a disk capacity limit of 2 petabytes.
ATA-6 was introduced in 2001, so any external drive case made before then for ATA drives will be forever limited to 128 G. Even now, some come with a controller that does not support the ATA-6 standard, & essentially none have all the hardware to support its full 48 bits of address capacity. However, since 2 PB (2000 terabyte) drives won't be available anytime soon, all you really need is a case that is ATA-6 or better compliant & supports enough address bits for the largest drive you intend ever to put in it.
Case makers don't usually make this information easily available but many now include a "bullet" spec about the maximum capacity their case supports, typically rounded off to simple numbers like 320 GB, 500 GB, or whatever. If you can't find this info, you can assume that the newer the case the more likely it is to support larger capacity drives, or just buy one with a good return policy & test it yourself with the largest raw drive you own.

HT4407 Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?

Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?
My first thoughts were that 'bootcamp' was out of date...needed an upgrade to register windows 7. Since then I am once again met with the same problem... how can it not see the I have already have a paritioned drived ready to be used for installition, is there a way to fix this problem? I don't really want to pay out for 'i-parition' only to merge my 2 drives back into one and start again from scratch =/. Seems silly to do so...what are my options?
Regards Swishi...p.s If anyone can help me...it'll make my day :3.

ONE PARTITION.
You don't need to buy anything but you should have backups.
you can delete #2 you created. Then resize to full drive.
There are already
GPT
EFI
Mac
Recovery
and there needs to be Windows which cannot be higher ID
Reading the instructions first and just swallow whatever pride or inidignation. It is a "my way or highwar" setup and utility,.

Odd problem with partitioning the disk-- it says it needs to be a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume, but it already is? (Screenshots in post)

I have a 1 TB Macbook Pro running Mavericks.
My disk is a single-volume...
Here is the information on my disk:
And I'm trying to use boot camp assist to partition my disk, like this:
But when I do, I get this error message:
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
It already is a single Mac OS Extended journaled volume. Right? Here is an image from Disk Utility:
Any ideas?

Hey there!
It sounds like you are unable to install BootCamp due to an error that your some files cannot be moved, and to format your disk as a single volume, but you have confirmed that it already is. I would verify and repair your disk permissions with the following article next, if you have already restarted your computer and tried again:
Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5821
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.You can verify or repair permissions only on a disk with Mac OS X v10.7 Lion installed.
Click First Aid.
Do one of the following:
Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
Disk Utility repairs the permissions for files installed by the Mac OS X Installer, Software Update, or an Apple software installer. It doesn’t repair permissions for your documents, your home folder, or third-party applications.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next verify and repair the disk with this:

Bootcamp 5 + 3TB HD: The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume

Hi all,
I installed a brand new 3TB Seagate Barracuda HD in my iMac late 2009 after read that apple provides a patch to use 3TB discs with bootcamp with 10.8.3.
I tried to install windows in my 3TB disc 4 o 5 times, reinstalling from scratch, formatting the disc from terminal, etc... I tried everything and I keep getting the same message: The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
The disc has a single 3TB Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition, but bootcamp keep saying that is not... and doesn't allows me to install windows. I read a lot of discussions here and other communities but as I said, none solution worked for me.
Any of you could manage to fix this issue?? Is Apple aware of that problem?
Any idea will be welcome!
Ivan

Hi,
Anybody in the forum have managed to use bootcamp with a 3Tb disc?? or get any answer from Apple...
Regards,
Ivan
