Are you supposed to hear the hard drive?
Just wondering if i'm supposed to hear my Hard drive in my 5G iPod? I just hear it a little, a sort of soft whir and an occasional soft click or the drive writing or reading. Maybe i'm just over protective. Any thoughts?
Dell Dimension 4400 Windows XP Pro
Thanks A Lot!
I also searched "Noise" throughout the forums (which i should have done from the start!) and found a lot of the same kind of question. Thanks for clearing that up!

Are you suppose to hear the hard drive when you boot up your macbook
everytime i turn on my laptop..i could hear my hard drive go on? is that normal?
It depends on the noise you are hearing, some of the 7200 RPM drives do make a slight noise, but if it is a clicking noise, then you need to get it serviced

Are you supposed to hear the clicker in your headphones?

You can adjust (or turn it off) it by going into Settings I believe.

How are you supposed to fix "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows if it doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1???
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have to uninstall what you can, reboot and delete the named folders, then reinstall.

Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?
I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.. It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
That has three advantages:
Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ... -
Have been trying to find info on upgrading the mSata drive on my Mac but some people say it is possible as others say its not. Wondering if anyone else can provide their own input. I am looking at the Samsung 840evo 500 GB mSata drive and want to know if its compatible.
Thank youIts possible to replace it yes. Its not easy, as you have to dissasemble the MacBook to get to it.
The drive you want is not compatible. The drive in current 2014 MacBoock Pro´s is not even a Sata type drive. Its a PCie Blade type drive.

I've seen it on other apple devices, but not on mine. Is that normal? I would like to be able to see it.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As far as I know, iPads don't show the battery icon while it's being charged. It just only shows for a few seconds when you plug it to the charger, but then it disappears and you can only see your battery icon at the top right of the screen -
Are you supposed to see the 9600gt under "about this mac"?
Hi!
My girlfriend had a problem (black screen) with her unibody MBP 2,8ghz with dual Graphic card. She went to the apple store where they reset the SMC. The laptop worked again after that.
However when we look at "about this mac" we only see the 9400M and NOT the 9600GT. Yes we allready switched over to "best performance".
Is this normal? Or would this indicate that even though the laptop works again, the dedicated Graphic card doesn't?
Is there another way to know what Graphic card you are using?
Please let us know...Yes, you should see both GPUs listed under System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays. If you don't, go back to the Apple Store and consult a Genius.

Where are my passwords stored on the hard drive in Firefox 16?
I recently upgraded to Windows 8 and went from Windows 7, and I just forgot to backup (yeah, I know, it's stupid) my profile with the passwords. The windows.old folder is there, with my old profile and all, but I can't seem to find the passwords. In every article I have read about this it says the same "find the key3.db and signons.sqlite in the profile folder". But there is NONE in my Firefox profile folder.
To see if it had just disappeard from my windows.old folder, I installed Firefox 16 and saved a password. But it's the same there, the files does not exist, at all.
Does it work differently in Firefox 16? Or is Windows 8 just pure evil?hello Nirvasher, it sounds like you may be looking at a wrong folder - this shouldn't have changed with firefox 16. the following article explains how to get into the profile folder: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

You should blur out or cover your login if you post this sort of shot.

My time capsule has no wifi or lights on but the hard drive is running
CCan any one help please? My time capsule has stopped working, there are no lights being displayed on the unit and there is no wifi output, but I can hear the hard drive running.
Check on the bottom for the model number.. A1409.
This is a standard failure for this model.. you are experiencing the wonders of TC build quality.
If at all possible get apple to replace it. I generally cannot repair this model.. the issue is faulty board.. but you can have a go.. if warranty / applecare is impossible.

I have an iMac 5.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2 GB memory and an L2 cache of 4 GB. lately I have been receiving error messages of " start up disk almost full; please delete files." is the start up disk the same thing as the hard drive? I opened the hard drive and from the column on the left of the menu I've selected "search for" and under that " all images" then "all documents" I've deleted a few files from each. Are documents and images that I have deleted from here also deleted from the folders on my desktop?
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Delete any other mail in your Junk folders. Also, look through your Sent Mail to see if there is anything that can be deleted.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!
