Accessing Hard Disk Information

Hey all, so I'm new to the Mac scene, and have had my Mac for a couple years now. I've always heard things about how everything done on the computer is stored in the Hard Disk, and I was wondering how I access the information in the Hard Disk.

Hello,
One way to see all of your software and hardware listed in one area is the System Profiler which is located in your Applications folder. Under Contents on the left, simply click on each item. The information till be displayed on the right.
By right or control clicking the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, you can view the Capacity and Available drive space which is really important to keep an eye on. Never allow free disk space to fall below 10%, 15% is better.
There are several good reference books available. One is Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual by David Pogue.
The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition by Robin Williams
(I purchased the first Little Mac Book by Ms. Williams for my first iMac in 1998 and haven't looked back since).

Hope this helps!

  • Website can't access hard disk

    My mpog has 1000s of graphics files that can be stored locally, but it can't access the files, how do I allow the site to access folder on hard disk?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.ferion.com but you need an account to get into a game

    It sounds like your hard drive has some data corruption issues or disk directory errors.
    You should insert your Mac OS X installation disc and restart with the C key held down. Once you get to the Installer's screen, you should be able to run Disk Utility. I believe for Jaguar (10.2), it is under the Installer's Installer menu (in the menu bar).
    In Disk Utility, use +Repair Disk+ on your startup drive. Note if any errors are reported, and if so, whether they are repaired.

  • Different information in 1. finder: film capacity 26 GB an 2. in "my mac" hard disk information: film capacity 76 GB?

    i have Problems with my Mac. The Hard disk is nearly full, i send most of my film material from i Movie to an externe drive, but nothing changed.
    But now are very different information about the film volume: in the finder only 26 DB, in the "my mac" HD information /& GB!!! What is the reason?

    Have you updated a lot of events and projects from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10?  If so the discrepancy may be caused by the fact that both versions of iMovie are using hard links to the same original media files.   If this is the case the finder will show the stoarge used by your iMovie Events (Imovie 9) and imovielibrary (imovie 10) separately giving too high a total since most of the content is actually shared.

  • Accessing Hard disks works in openbox but not in fluxbox

    hey guys
    For some reason with thunar, in openbox accessing my hard disks in the sidemenu brings up a password box and i enter my password and access the hard disk, but in fluxbox it says no authorization

    If both these scenarios involve the same root partition, then I don't know what to tell you. If, however, the openbox and fluxbox WMs are on different roots, then you probably neglected to add a pkla file to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ on the fluxbox installation.
    It should contain something along the lines of:
    [Local Users]
    Identity=unix-group:storage
    Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
    ResultAny=yes
    ResultInactive=no
    ResultActive=yes
    and your user should be a member of the group defined in "Identity". Also make sure you have udisks installed.

  • What program access hard disk every 30 second?

    I have a very loud hard disk. The hard disk make a very short noice every 30 seconds, even for a new boot. Anyway to check which programming access the hard disk repeatly so I can figure out if it's possible to make the machine quiet?

    somthing I read about disk flush/sync timings.  There is some sort of 'laptop' mode in some kernels that if set will cause the disk to sync after a period of time in order to let APM/ACPI put the drive to sleep.
    There may be settings for your filesystem to do the same(!?).  I remember old Windoze NT4 had similar problem and was not remedied until Win2k for use on laptops .... yuck, ... I said the W word.
    Here's something I just dug-up:
    Laptop mode ===========
    This small doc describes the 2.4 laptop mode patch.
    Last updated 2003-05-25, Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
    Introduction ------------
    A few properties of the Linux vm makes it virtually impossible to attempt to spin down the hard drive in a laptop for a longer period of time (more than a handful of seconds). This means you are lucky if you can even reach the break even point with regards to power consumption, let alone expect any decrease.
    One problem is the age time of dirty buffers. Linux uses 30 seconds per default, so if you dirty any data then flusing of that data will commence at most 30 seconds from then. Another is the journal commit interval of journalled file systems such as ext3, which is 5 seconds on a stock kernel. Both of these are tweakable either from proc/sysctl or as mount options though, and thus partly solvable from user space.
    The kernel update daemon (kupdated) also runs at specific intervals, flushing old dirty data out. Default is every 5 seconds, this too can be tweaked from sysctl.
    So what does the laptop mode patch do? It attempts to fully utilize the hard drive once it has been spun up, flushing the old dirty data out to disk. Instead of flushing just the expired data, it will clean everything. When a read causes the disk to spin up, we kick off this flushing after a few seconds. This means that once the disk spins down again, everything is up to date. That allows longer dirty data and journal expire times.
    It follows that you have to set long expire times to get long spin downs. This means you could potentially loose 10 minutes worth of data, if you set a 10 minute expire count instead of just 30 seconds worth. The biggest risk here is undoubtedly running out of battery.
    Settings --------
    The main knob is /proc/sys/vm/laptop mode. Setting that to 1 switches the vm (and block layer) to laptop mode. Leaving it to 0 makes the kernel work like before. When in laptop mode, you also want to extend the intervals desribed above. See the laptop-mode.sh script for how to do that.
    It can happen that the disk still keeps spinning up and you don't quite know why or what causes it. The laptop mode patch has a little helper for that as well, /proc/sys/vm/block-dump. When set to 1, it will dump info to the kernel message buffer about what process caused the io. Be very careful when playing with this setting, it is advisable to shut down syslog first!
    Result ------
    Using the laptop-mode.sh script with its default settings, I get the full 10 minutes worth of drive spin down. Provided your work load is cached, the disk will only spin up every 10 minutes (well actually, 9 minutes and 55 seconds due to the 5 second delay in flushing dirty data after the last read completes). I can't tell you exactly how much extra battery life you will gain in laptop mode, it will vary greatly on the laptop and workload in question. The only way to know for sure is to try it out. Getting 10% extra battery life is not unrealistic.
    Notes -----
    Patch only changes journal expire time for ext3. reiserfs uses a hardwire value, should be trivial to adapt though (basically just make it call get_buffer_flushtime() and uses that). I have not looked at other journalling file systems, I'll happily accept patches to rectify that!

  • Why after firmware update to Airport Express 2nd generation on 12 Aug can I not wirelessly access access hard disks connected to airport

    During the firmware install there was a problem so that the status light on airport express was amber. It would change to gree for a short while after re-plugging the USB connection between the Airport and hard desk drives (via a hub).
    I can see the hard disks listed on the macbook (OSX 10.7.5) finder but not the files on the desks. The hard desk listing have also come up on the imac (OSX 10.6.8) but not often and again there are no files listings available.
    A Brothers LaserJet printer sometimes also connected to the hub and then airport also sometimes requires a re-plugging of the USB connection between the hub and airport.

    Apple uses Akamai for their software distribution.
    See
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3923
    The latter (http://swcdn.apple.com) currently redirects to the Akamai content distribution network that hosts the updates. Note that the redirected IP address of http://swcdn.apple.com may vary over time or by geographic region.
    and https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/akamais-state-of-the-internet/id800491468?mt=8
    Many of the large computer companies use akamai for software.. so it may have picked up those addresses from clients behind the Express.. although normally their IP should show directly.

  • Accessing Hard drive information across the network

    Hello,
    Im trying to create a small app to monitor disk space usage of servers on our network. Im using the code found on Ray Camdens site.
    <cfset fileOb = createObject("java", "java.io.File").init("C:/")>
    <cfoutput>
    freespace=#fileOb.getFreeSpace()#<br>
    usablespace=#fileOb.getUsableSpace()#<br>
    totalspace=#fileOb.getTotalSpace()#<br>
    </cfoutput>
    This works fine when specifying local physical drives but it doesnt work for mapped network drives or if I put the path to another server in the init(" ") part.
    Has anyone got this working by pointing it at a mapped driver on the local server or by pointing directly to the server accross the network?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yup, it was to do with permission, cant beleive I didnt think of that. In this regard this isnt a security issue, the servers in question are private servers.
    Thanks for you helpful answer

  • How do I access virtual "Hard Disk 2"?

    I have created a new virtual machine. I have a initially created a Parent drive and set it as READ ONLY. In my new VM I created Hard Disk 1 as a Differencing disk that references the parent drive. I created Hard Disk 2 as a Dynamic Disk. When I launch
    the machine I only have the single virtual "C" drive available. I was expecting another drive to be available. How do I access Hard Disk 2 - or am I not understanding the purpose of the additional hard disks?

    Have you gone into Disk Manager and initialized the drive?  When you create a new VHD, it's just a blank virtual hard disk. You need to initialize, partition, and format it before it's usable in Windows.

  • Setup did not find any hard disk drive in your computer

    I have an old Compaq Presario 7598 Desktop (Windows XP) which I use as a backup machine. Recently when I tried to start it I am getting "Unable to access hard disk,. Operating system not found on any devices". Then when I tried to start with XP Boot Disk (CD), I am getting "Setup did not find any hard disk drive in your computer".
    Can someone help me to resolve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Repeatedly tap the F10 key at boot, you should see information for the hard disk.

  • Hard Disks column either blank or showing zero drives

    The Hard Disks column in the SCE 2010 console is either showing 0 - OK on some of the clients is it monitoring or in the servers group some of the servers have nothing at all displayed in the Hard Disks column. There are also a could of servers showing 0 - OK as well.
    Some clients and some servers show the correct number of Hard Disks and if any are over the 50% or 75% thresholds, for example, this is shown in the column as well.
    The machines I am monitoring are running a variety of Windows versions and are from a variety of hardware vendors.
    I can't see a pattern to be honest. For example, I have some PowerEdge M600 blades and one shows "1 -1 > 50%", another shows "0 - OK" while a third is blank in the Hard Disks column. A PowerEdge 6650 is also blank. They're not exactly obscure hardware kit.
    If there's any more info or investigation you would like, let me know.

    You can e-mail us the logs requested by Stephanie at [email protected]
    Some background on the inventory collection in Essentials.
    The majority of inventory information, including hard disk information is collected by the Windows Update agent and forwarded to the Essentials server. If the Windows Update agent is not reporting back information then most of the inventory information will not display. The exception is Asset Tag and BIOS Serial number - this inventory information comes from the Monitoring (Ops Mgr) agent.
    You can check the basic health of the agents used by Essentials by selecting a computer in in the Computers workspace and then in the preview pane at the bottom, in the Health section click on the link to the right of the word Agents. This will open the Health Explorer window. 
    You will see that the Health Explorer shows the health for the 3 agents used by Essentials:
    OpsMgr Agent (for monitoring)
    Windows Update (for updates, software deployment and inventory)
    Virtual Machine Manager (for virtualization on virtual machine hosts)
    The Health Explorer will automatically expand items in the tree that don't have a Healthy state. 
    In this case, I'm expecting that under the Availability node, the Windows Update Agent will have a warning icon next to one of the 4 monitors used to determine it's health.
    The 4 things being checked for are:
    Agent Configuration
    This checks the group policy to point the Windows Update agent to the Essentials server is in effect and the computer has been added to the correct security groups in Active Directory
    Agent Connection
    This checks if the Windows Update agent has connected to the Essentials server in the last 24 hours
    Proxy Configuration
    This checks that makes sure that if a proxy is being used
    Service State
    This checks that the Windows Update service is running on the comptuer
    The Resolutions section of the Knowledge tab for each of the monitors provides some initial troubleshooting steps. Additional troubleshooting can be done by looking at the windowsupdate.log on the computer.

  • Can't access my account after time machine hard disk restore. HELP please.

    i was attempting to partition my hard disk with boot camp when an error message appeared saying that it could not be partitioned and to backup my hard disk, reformat and restore using time machine, then run boot camp again. i did this and now i cannot access my account. at the log in page my password is accepted but a message appears saying that i am unable to access my account at this time due to an error (error not specified). any suggestions please.
    thanks :-)
    triggs.

    just been reading through various posts on here and it seems that timemachine does not backup file vault home folders. Thanks for the warning message apple. i have wiped my harddrive lost all my home folder and am now panicking becuase some of the data was for a charity that i help out with and can't exactly go asking for the information again. i presume if my old home folder was there i would see it in the user account on my external drives backups? any help would be appreciated but  think i am now losing the will to live.
    Cue the massive shouting match when i have to explain this to the charity secretary

    HELP HELP

    To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
    It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
    The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
    Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
    As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
    Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.
