Adding a second harddrive on split x2

I have an HP SPlit X2, and I have read on various sites that a second harddrive can be added to the base. But I have also read that someone tried this and there were no cables to support a second harddrive in the base. Does anyone know if one this is possible, and two how do you do it.

Hello plloyd1010. If you call this HP number, you will be able to order the kit: 1-800-227-8164. The hours of operation are Monday to Saturday, 6:00am-6:00pm Mountain. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

G5 PowerPC 1.6GHz Second Harddrive

Purchased second harddrive Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 80Gb secondhand. Installed in top bay. Turned on computer. It didnt boot at all. Took out Seagate HD and turned on. Computer booted up no problem. Any suggestions as to why it would not boot up?

hi BDAqua. thanks for responding. I have not tried exchanging positions. I am a little worried I may damage my good harddrive and lose all my info if the Seagate is faulty. The same applies to asking a friend to format - I wouldnt be popular if it caused havoc. As you have mentioned a short, alarm bells are ringing.
Logic told me that the drive should work in either position but the computer failed to boot with both in place so I thought it best to sit back and ask for help.
This is only the second time I have added a harddrive, the first was in a G3 too long ago to remember otherthan it was not a problem. I think the Harddrive is defective so will contact the sellers. I dont want to take any risks.
thanks for your help.

My operating system is Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4) and oracle database inside.
Please I need your suggest and advise, what should I do to add more space on existing raid 1.
Thank You,

There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

I can't get my ICloud started. Each time i try to sign in..it indicates that theres a problem with my email apple address but never indicates what. I added a second email but the same result. Have changed my password numerous times...no result?????

I have followed the instruction relating to Icloud connection.When i went to system preferences, my Apple address is continually rejected. I have added a second email as suggusted by an Apple site but i still get the same message. Im not told why the Apple ID/email is not accepted when it is accepted in all other Apple sites. I changed my password numerous times to ensure it wasnt the password but to no result. It continued to state that my Apple ID was the problem. I live in Malta,Europe. Have new Apple Mac Pro and Ipod. The annoying thing is that ICloud continually send me the problem notice but do nothing to tell me how to fix it? Can i switch this notice off? Help???????

Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Adding a second time capsule?

I've reviewed some of he discussion on adding a second Time Machine but two issues arise. The information relates to older Time Machine software and leads to confusion.
I have an Airport Extreme with S/W version 7.6.4 and would like to add a newer Airport Extreme to back up the older one. Reading the suggestions on adding a new TC didn't cover the newer Time Machines and I could find Apple's instructions for doing it.
Somewhere I read that the new TC could be connected to the old TC but forgot the port setup. Also, newer instructions for adding a second TC so both the old and the new acquire the same data could not be found.
Hope This question is clear. Is there help on this?

The network setup is fairly trivial.
Plug TC2 into TC1. (the hardware is Time Capsule.. TC as per your title.. or is it Airport Extreme as per your question..?? Time Machine is software on your computer.. and totally unrelated to the hardware.)
Makes no difference which way around you do it. Plug WAN of the 2nd device into LAN of the 1st device. And setup the 2nd device in bridge.. wireless is up to you.. off or on?? Roaming or not??
As far as backup is concerned.. you need to be clear in the question. And sorry it is a bit mixed up now.
But I can tell you what you cannot do.
You cannot backup to both units at once. You can however setup Time Machine in the computer to backup sequentially to both.
See Q34 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
The TC itself cannot backup to another TC.
(extreme with hard disk amounts to the same thing.. with caveats)
You can backup one TC to another manually via a computer.. it is slow and I do not recommend it.. if a fault creeps into backup1, you are simply copying said fault to backup2.. AND it is poor for another reason.. Time Machine cannot do it.. you will need another utility eg Carbon Copy Cloner.. and even then you will probably end up backing up a huge amount of data every time.. since TM works so strangely you cannot just backup differences.

I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks. I thought it too loose until I tried it. works just fine!!
i get a solved for my own LOL

Adding a second internal HDD on a Satellite A350-20s

I have a Satellite A350-20s.
It is described in its documentation as having the option to add a second internal 2"5 hdd, and a indeed there is a place reserved for it..
The problem is that when I remove the cover to insert the hdd there is no connector.
So, how to do it ?

Hi buddy,
Well, I have even checked the manual of my Satellite A350 and there you can see that the manual shows second HDD slot. But as Paolo30 wrote installing such a HDD is depending on the HDD controller You can only install such a HDD if you have a second HDD connector.
In my opinion all its ok because the manual doesnt mention that adding a second HDD is possible on every notebook. ;)
By the way: If you need more disk space you can use an external HDD, for example 2.5 one. Such HDDs dont need an additional power supply, you need only an USB cable to connect it. ;)

Re: Second Harddrive in Tecra A9

I have a Tecra A9 12T article-nr.: PTS52E-01T02NGR
Because i have a SSD installed i'd like to remove the dvd rom and install a second harddrive.
i bought a harddrive bay with the right conectors, but allways when i start my computer he tells me:
"CD ROM error" and i can't find the option in the bios where i can change form CD-ROM to HDD.
Can someone help me? thank you!

Hi
As far as I know the Tecra A9 cannot be upgraded with an slim select bay HDD adaptor.
From my knowledge this is possible with notebooks like Portege M400, S100, Tecra M9, Tecra S1, S3 or S4

How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
Thank you
Kate

Hello there, Kate.
Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

Re: Satellite P200-137 missing second harddrive connection

My Satellite P200-137 is missing its second harddrive connection. Regarding the manual and the specifications there should be a second connection, but when I opened the second drive bay the only thing I saw was an empty space for the drive and some solder connections, but no sockets to plugin the drive.
Is this normal: does the 137 model only have one functioning harddisk connection? Is it possible to get the second drive-socket attached?

> Regarding the manual and the specifications there should be a second connection
I think you didnt read the manual properly ;)
It says that this option is available on certain models
Fact is that a same notebook series can be equipped with different hardware parts.
So the specifications are always different.
The P200 series seems to support different motherboards and some motherboards are not outfitted with two HDD controllers. So the notebook supports tow HDD bays but the second HDD controller is available.
Yes, this is a little bit confusing but its definitely nothing wrong with your notebook ;)

Adding a second optical drive

Hi,
I've have just added a second optical drive to my MP, it's an LG, "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B" according to system profiler. I'v left the original apple superdrive as-is, and put this in the second bay. I'm pretty sure I've set it's jumpers to "slave", but it was in an external bay and I don't have a manual or anything, so I'm not 100% sure.
Both drives work fine, on their own, but they don't seem to want to work together. Programs seem to have to wait for the 2nd drive to finish whatever it is it's doing, before they can get access to 1st drive (or vice-versa).
I was under the impression that both drives can be working at the same time, and it would seem pointless having two drives if they can't work at the same time?
I don't have to change anything about the original superdrive when adding a second drive, do I?

Looking at your specs. the drive is an LG. I have an LG as well not the same model but I set my jumper to Cable Select, that is what worked and it is the same setting as the original Sony SuperDrive.
I am certain it will work as it did no mine.

Adding a Second Airport Express

Is there a trick to adding a second Airport Express? My network is created by an Airport Extreme. Six months ago, I added an Airport Express to get better coverage upstairs (no problems). Now I want to add a second Airport Express to extend coverage to the back of our house. I plug in the Airport Express but it never shows in the Airport Utility. I have tried over and over and it never appears.

The second Express can "extend" the signal provided by the AirPort Extreme, but it cannot "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express that is already "extending".
The Express always needs to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the main router in order to "extend" that signal.
Might that be the issue here? The second Express is possibly located too far from the AirPort Extreme?
If we need to do some more checks, is your Mac runnign OS X 10.6.8 as your profile indicates?

Data Migration to second Harddrive (like Hardwrk suggests)

I just built a second harddrive (ssd) into my mac. For the data migration, i followed the hardwrk suggestion, but this was for OSX Snow Leopard, so maybe that´s the reason why I now have both the new installed and the old system when i push "alt" key while booting, although the old system doesn´t exist any more. Now the question: is it possible to delete the "boot area" that the Harrdrive is not recognized any more as a bootable media? I don´t want to format it because there remains the user data and a windows partition. I only want to delete the actually not existing ability to boot, and the recovery partition.

Added a second IP to our server = Now users can't log-in

Hi,
I had a server that was working fine. It had one external IP address. I then added a second external (dedicated) IP address to the same ethernet port, by adding a second port in "Network Preferences" and manually typing in the IP configuration - just as I did for the original ethernet interface when the server was originally configured.
The reason I added a second IP address is so that I could run Apache2 on port 80 on the new IP while continuing to run Apache1.3 on port 80 of the original IP.
Of course now I've screwed up the reverse DNS and such and my users can't login over AFP (though SMB is ok). My initial IP has a properly configured reverse lookup, the new IP does not. The new IP is using the ISP's default domain name.
In a situation like this, am I supposed to configure both IPs to resolve to the same computer name? myServer.company.com ? Or should each IP resolve differently..
Thanks
Woody

How do the users connect to AFP? WAN or LAN, Hostname or IP ?

Reverse lookups (PTR records) shouldn't come into it. If users use a hostname to connect then all you will need is an A record to convert the hostname to an IP. If they use an IP to connect, then no DNS is accessed. So if you cannot connect directly using the IP address then it suggests firewall or config - test for open 548 port etc.

Second harddrive in laptop

I purchased a Satellite P770 recently. One of the reasons I went with the one I did was because it is capable of having a second internal harddrive. I didn't order it with a second drive because I already have a 500GB drive, and was planning to put in a 1TB later anyway (Toshiba didn't have 1TB drives as an option.).
I just discovered that while there is an empty bay, there is no sata port to connect a second harddrive to. It looks like there's a place where a small board would be mounted, and the sata port the 1st harddrive is connected to also has a ribbon cable connector next to it.
I couldn't find anything on the Toshiba site, does anyone know where can I get the parts I need (second sata port board and harddrive caddy)?

I imagine by now you found your answer. If not, the circuit board is available at:
