Apple 1tb sata hard drive....will it work with dec 2006 mac pro?

Annoyingly I bought a 1tb hard drive from the apple store. Read all the information about it on the shop page. On receiving the hard drive, it has stamped on the box : MacPro 2008, mac os 10.5.1. Oh poop. Does that actually mean it won't work at all with my machine, as there was no mention of it on the Apple store site? Grrr.

  • My Hybrid 1TB Seagate Hard Drive will not work in my data doubler caddy installed in the optical bay

    My Hybrid 1TB Seagate Hard Drive will not work in my data doubler caddy installed in the optical bay of my MacBook Pro

    Thanks for all the advice. It looks like I have finally got my MBP working again (after two weeks of pain).
    The WD HD works fine internally, but restoring from TM introduced a whole load more of issues/incompatabilities (see above). Eventually the only thing left was to re-build rather than restore:
    i) mount the WD disk internally and install Snow Lepoard from the orginial installation disks
    ii) get online, and after much trying download Lion (previously purchased). Perfrom all update.
    iii) Connect my Time Capsule, identify my data, photo and music files and then copy them accross by hand
    iv) install all the other applications (e.g. MS Office:mac, etc) from scratch.
    This exercise has shown me that even though tools and procedures exist to address separate issues, when the complexity of inter-dependence is introduced there are a raft of problems that crop up.
    Now I am back in business I will be using TM and CCC to take full and regular copies. I did this previously, which has saved me from losing my data and cherished pictures, but hopefully next time (and I'm sure there will be a next time) the recovery will be less infuriating.
    BTW I got a refund on the Seagate Momentus XT. They guy in the shop said it wasn't the first time he'd heard of this issue with MBPs. Great.

  • WD 1TB External Hard Drive won't work with Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I recently purchased a Western Digital 1TB External Hard Drive. It came formatted for Windows with NTFS, but I didn't think this was a problem as the packaging stated it could easily be reformatted for Mac OS. To cut a long story short, it couldn't. When I plugged it in to my Mac (iMac 21" i3) and tried to use Disk Utility to reformat it, partition it, whatever, it just wouldn't work always returning some sort of error. I resorted to using a Gparted Live CD and succesfully formated it to HFS+ but yet when I plugged it into my Mac it wouldn't mount the disk. After following advice to let Disk Utility 'Repair' the disk, this is the output:
    Verify and Repair volume “external”
    Checking non-journaled HFS Plus Volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Unused node is not erased (node = 1458) [In red]
    Checking catalog file.
    Unused node is not erased (node = 5) [In red]
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Invalid directory item count [In red]
    (It should be 1 instead of 0)
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks [In red]
    Checking volume information.
    Invalid volume free block count [In red]
    (It should be 244164065 instead of 244148705)
    The volume external was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. [In red]
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files. [In red]
    If anyone knows what this means, and more importantly anything I can do to try and fix this, I would really really appreciate the help!
    (Obviously I see it says reformat the disk, but this is easier said than done. Now Gparted crashes when it tries to read it and Disk Utility hangs indefinitely if I try to do anything to it)

    I believe the reasons behind this must have something to do with the errors highlighted by the repair process (as copied above)- errors I don't understand.
    Disk Utility can't repair NTFS volumes.
    If the drive is not seriously damaged ...
    Go to Disk Utility
    Click on the external Drive (not on the existing partition)
    Click on Partition section in Disk Utility
    In the Pane under "Current Scheme" highlite the Partition and then click the "-" (minus) sign down left.
    Click on the dropdown "Current Scheme" and choose a matching scheme
    On Format choose "Mac OS extended journaled"
    Click "Apply"

  • What should I format my wd external hard drive to to use with my new Mac Pro?

    What format should my wd external hard drive be in order to use with my new Mac Pro?

    If you're going to use it only with Macs, use Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It's the fastest filesystem to use on Macs.
    If you're going to use it with PCs and Macs, use exFAT or FAT. I recommend exFAT because it hasn't got limitations as FAT and it's faster, but you need Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later to use it on PCs

  • External Hard Drive Will Not Work

    I  purchased the recommended 1TB WD hard drive.  It worked for a couple of days, recorded some programs-- all of which froze after a few minutes, and now my DVR repeatedly shuts down and reboots when the external drive is plugged in.  Here's the message I get:
    the set-top box will reset because an external hard drive was improperly disconnected
    The only way I have disconnected the drive is by going into settings and clicking on "EJECT" as recommended.
    Would someone please tell me what is going on here?  Thanks.

    Sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with the drive. One thing you can do to try to correct the drive issue is to hold down the power button on the drive. You will get a pop up message that an unknown storage device has been found. Click to accept the new device. The drive should now be connected. Go to the main menu of the DVR box and select the option for DVR.  Go to expanded storage and format the drive. Let us know if further assistance is needed.

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.

  • Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.

    Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.  My OS crashed and they have to wipe the computer to put on a new system. I don't want the latest system if it won't run CS4. I bought Creative Suite Cloud version and had nothing but problems with it and the system I was running. In fact all the problems with my computer started just after I put CS Cloud version on it.

    Thanks for answering. I'll try to be more specific in my question.

  • What is max internal hard drive transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?

    In attempt to upgrade my mid-2007 MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), I bought a Seagate 750GB listed as compatible with my computer on MacSales.com . . .
    Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive
    Installation appeared to go well and I ran an extended hardware test with no issues found.  However, the drive is listed at 5.46 TB (would be nice) and I get an input/output error when attempting to partition.  I can initiate an erase, but after the time I would suspect it would take to erase the drive, I get an input/output error - it seems to appear after the first 750 GB of the '5.5 TB' was erased.  At all times, the drive is not recognized when I attempt to install OS X from original discs.
    I suspect the 6.0 GB/s transfer capacity of the hard drive is not compatible with the MacBook Pro.  The drive came with 4 jumper pins but no jumper and no label diagram to set a slower transfer rate.  I called Seagate, Newegg, OWC, and Apple, but no one has compatibility info for my MacBook Pro.  To them, it appears I am running the first tests of this new technology with an 'older' MacBook Pro.
    My MBP has had no issues - I'd like to keep her going with the optimum internal hard drive capacity, but don't necessarily want to set up a test bench in my house (though my kids would enjoy destroying it) and pay several shipping and restocking fees to test new hard drives.
    The original drive had a 1.5 GB/s transfer rate.  Does anyone know the maximum transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?  3.0 GB/s?  1.5 GB/s?  Thank you.

    No spinning hard drive will transfer data faster then 60-80MB a second. The XT models have a flash storage area that is used when reading and writing data that can make it Appear faster in some situations. That flash memory if only 8 or 16GBs in side, I forget which one.
    The drie is rated to work on 6GB SATA bus but it certainly can not transfer data that fast. It should be backword compatible to work on slower buses.
    Your drive is 750GBs in size. Not wure where you are getting this 5.5TB (that is 5.5 Tera Bytes which is 5500 Giga Bytes. Your drive is under 1TB)
    What are you using to partition the drive? Disk Utilities from the original install DVD?
    You need to install on your old drive, Update it from the Apple Website then clone it to the new drive. The version of OSX you are using may not function correctly with that large of a drive. Or get yourself a copy of Snow Leopard, retail disk for $29 from Apple, and do all the partitioning and installing with that version od OSX.
