Are there any 500GB or 1TB 7mm hard drives?

Ironically, I'm finding that one of the reasons to spluge on a Samsung 830 or Intel 320 SSD is that they offer 512GB, for $1,000 yes, but I haven't yet seen a nice, cheap, spinning platter HDD that offers more than 320GB in the 7mm height.
So, are there any copious, 1TB or 500GB hard drives that will fit inside the Thinkpad X220?

Not a lot of experience yet, but my Twist came with a 7mm 500GB 7200RPM Hitachi: Z7K500-500. I've since purchased another one for experimentation. So far so good.

Are there any clues that an external hard drive is going bad?

My external hard drive is 2 years old. Are there any clues indicating it is going bad?

Open Disk Utility, select your external disk in the sidebar and verify the drive. If it doesn't show any issuue, the disk works correctly

Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi.
Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

Are there any problems with un-compressing a drive?

Bottman wrote:
The only issue that I can think of is if the compressed files are then larger than the available space on the drive.
If you're worried about this, you could uncompress a block of files at a time.
The drive is currently 67% free. I don't know what the compression ratio is but it probably wouldn't cause an issue with drive space.

I have a very important 2TB logical disk (NTFS, Basic, not the system disk) attached to a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine. Write performance has been very slow with large files and I realized that "Compress this drive to save disk space" is checked for the whole drive. Are there any issues with disabling this feature? It's easy enough to enable but I don't know what happens when I disable it.

Any benefit to partitioning a hard drive

Is there any benefit to partitioning a hard drive on a Mac?
John

A very good reason for partitioning a larger drive into smaller "bites" is the usefulness of Erasing a Volume vs a Drive.
This is particularly helpful if you do video work or other works where contiguous free space is needed (free space with no interruptions).
After adding and deleting lots of files, a little "digital lint" gets left behind even after emptying the trash. With several large partitions (i.e. 5 100MB volumes on a 500GB drive) you can have 4 ongoing projects and still have an empty one. Once you're completely done with a video project on one of the Volumes, you just got to Disk Utility and do an Erase on that Volume. The other volumes remain, but that one is now "brand spankin' new" and clean.
Programs like Final Cut Pro like that. Especially during capture.

HT1329 My large iTunes library is on an external hard drive. Can I set up iTunes on my new Macbook Pro and copy the library to it or are there any pitfalls?

I have my large iTunes library on an external hard drive. Can I set up ITunes on my new Macbook Pro and transfer/copy this library to the internal hard drive or are there any problems I should be aware of?

ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.
Phil0124 wrote:
You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine.

Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
It said :
"To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
" <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
<<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
<</a> "
(I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)
How to do these with iweb?

Are there any problems with running PPro CS4 under WIN7...?

I've successfully created a dual boot of WIN XP Pro 64-bit and WIN 7 Professional 64-bit on my RAID10, 2-TB drive.
I've been running numerous basic programs successfully under WIN 7. It has been totally stable for over a month and therefore I am about to transition Production Premium CS4 over to the WIN 7 partition from WIN XP where I've been running it for the past two years.
I'm just wondering if there are any consistent problems that have surfaced with this new OS and CS4?
I've looked through the forums and don't see much, so I have high hopes. But in case I've missed something, what should I watch out for?
Intel DX48BT2 mobo, 2.83GHz Q9550 Core2Quad, 8gb DDR3 @1333GHz, nVidia GTX260XXX, 2TB SATA RAID10 drives, 100GB SATA scratch drive, 2 x 1TB eSATA external RAID 10 drives (LaCie & JMicron w/controller card), LG SATA Blu-Ray Burner.
All drivers & updates are current.
TIA,

Having learned that with ADOBE there is always some nightmare scenario, I am stopping in my tracks until I get more information.
I installed (non-trial) Production Premium CS4 in the Win7 partition without problem. Opened PrPro and exported media using Encore and my preferred codec. So far, so good.
As expected, I got the "Excuse the interruption" message telling me that there were already two copies with the same serial number running - I have one on my laptop and the other is, of course, in the Win XP partition on the same computer & hard drive as this new install.
I chose the "30 days to fix the issue" option.
This was so I could migrate my preferences, keyboard & other presets to the Win7 install and confirm their proper operation before activation.
PITA #1 - In XP, presets, prefs, etc., are located in "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\."
In Win7, they are located in "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\. This is a hidden folder, so you must go to Folder Options\View and check "Show Hidden Folders." I think this is now in Control Panel\Settings ( I got there through a Help link so I'm not sure, but it is not in the folder headers "Tools" anymore).
PITA #2 - After copying my PrPro presets, prefs, keyboard settings, etc., to the above location, I tried to open PrPro to confirm everything. This was about an hour after my previous session. I now no longer get the "30-day option!!!" Only "Activate" "Buy a License" or "Quit!"
PITA #3 - Since I don't know how Deactivation and Activation work, I am not about to go any further. Since both copies are on the same physical computer and hard drive, they obviously cannot both be online at the same time. I am concerned that whatever happens at Adobe's end of this will not see the deactivation or will not properly activate the new install and then I'll be left with nothing operational. If they cannot keep track of the start date of the new install and wiped out the 30-day test period in an hour, I do not have much confidence that the activation process with go so well. I think there are a limited number of activations as well, and I don't know what that applies to or how that works. I can see a scenario where I have to re-activate the Win XP partition to try and track down something and then get stuck there because I've used up my activations and can't re-activate the Win7 partition.
Anyone have any insights on any of this...???
TIA,

I have an imac G5 with a power PC chip running os 10.5.8. and using safari 5.0.6. are there any security threats i should be aware of? s there a

are there any security concerns using my PPC imac g5 running OS 10.5.8 and using Safari 5.0.6?

You could use a browser that does not use Flash or Java, as a safety measure when visiting sites; the Safari browser has no support or recent updates. TenFourFox v 24 is fairly good, and uses later Mozilla code, is compatible with powerPC computer limitations. SeaMonkeyPPC has a similar code, but acts a little different; and there still is iCab, a good browser that will run free, but asks you get a $20. license.
The Safari browser can be used to set a different browser up as system default, so it won't launch and open attachments or web pages; it has a setting in its preferences where you choose another browser as default. As I have four or five browsers and one dedicated to gmail (launched as signed-in, through notifier) that is how I've used the default, otherwise mine are all in the Dock.
There is no new upgrade for Adobe Flash plugin player, etc; but the one in their site for vintage is still available at getflash player at Adobe. Most prompts online are to get you something else, even adware loads up from some not-so-clever efforts to get people to install junk. So go to the source. Someone wrote a patch that is supposed to allow a later version of Flash player to work in older 10.5.8 PPC Mac, but I have not tried it.
The thread of security is mostly based on the user and their caution to avoid odd free software and also avoid some sites that try to get people to load cleanmymac or genieo, or other adware malware voluntarily. Those are troublesome and hard to remove, and can waste processor cycles, slow the computer & mess it up. Mostly from a browser the adware issues arise. For those you see The Safe Mac and read up on the adware removal guide, among others linked on the page: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
So anyway, there is really nothing new on the face of it for obsolete OS X systems users.
Good luck & happy computing!

Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility? That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says. Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use) preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?
Bill in Tulsa

TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
That is C9
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
See A4 in the same reference.
Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.

Are there any additional Captivate themes available?

I have been tasked with designed and producing a series of e-learning courses and although I have ID experience, I am not a graphics designer. There are a handful of themes available in Captivate 8, but I was hoping to have a wider selection. Are there any additional themes available for download? I have found one site (elearningbrothers) but we do not have the budget available. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy

If you're a graphic designer, I would fully expect you to be capable of creating your own themes. It's not that hard.
Google for the Youtube videos by Pooja Jaisingh about creating themes for Captivate 7, then go for it.

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

Are there any 500GB or 1TB 7mm hard drives?
