I am looking to back up my MAC, and I need to know how big of an external hard drive I need

I am looking to back up my MAC, and I need to know how big of an external hard drive I need. How do I determine this?

Well, they recommend at least 2 - 3 times the size of your hard drive if you are using Time Machine because that keeps making backups until it runs out of space (and then deletes the oldest to make room for the newest).
However, if you prefer to have a bootable clone as a backup, you need about the same size as your hard drive since it is a perfect copy of your system (unless you want to partition and keep an older clone separately).
So, check to see how large your hard drive is and go from there.

HT5409 I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get.

I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?

I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
You can try these steps to solve the issue:
Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected).

My "big Mac" desktop iMac's fan occasionally runs rather loudy and the computer gets kind of hot. This may last for several hours. Is that normal and OK?

My "big Mac" desktop's fan occasionally runs rather loudly and the top of the computer gets pretty warm. This may last for several hours. Is that normal and OK?

Please check the article below for details on finding activities that are using a high percentage of the CPU. You may need to check when the computer is actually running hot to catch the culprit.
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

HT4796 Migration assistant is telling me that it has lost connection with my Mac and to ensure they are on the same network. They are, and an ethernet cable is plugged into them. What do i do?

Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening. My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi. What can I do?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

Sound Issues in Mac and Windows

I'm new to the forums so please don't flame me if there is a solution out there. I have a month old MacPro on 10.4.8. Over the past week my headset sound has been very spotty. Sometimes I can hear music with no vocals. My games play ambient sound but I can not hear characters talk. Videos on the web play with no sound.
If I fire up iTunes my songs play only instruments for left and right channel but there are no voices. I have the same problem with the rear output on the G5 now. Is this a hardware issue? In Windows using bootcamp I have the exact same problem... or sometimes no sound at all..
Any ideas?

Macs and PCs obviously render web pages differently. Unfortunately, many web designed optimize their code for IE, leaving many people with pages taht render slowly or not at all.
Some things I have discovered to speed up my Mac. Go into the network sys pref and make sure that the type of connection you are using - ethernet or Airport - is listed first. Go into the configuration and turn off IPv6 or if it is off, turn it on. IPv6 is new and not all ISPs support it. Having it in the "wrong" state can cause a problem.
Also, if there is anything in the DNS server box, write it down and then use "4.2.2.x" where "x" is 1-6. Some DNS servers are slow and using those values on my Mac and PC made a big difference to me.

Mac and PC using the same itunes library?

I have my itunes library located on a NAS hard drive, which I have been accessing from my powerbook. Recently I purchased a Apple TV and was given a Dell desktop. What I would like to know is; is there a way to access one library on both a mac and pc and be able to make changes from either machines? I want the desktop just to run itunes so i don't have to have my laptop open every time i want stream content to the apple tv, but i also want to have be able to view and change my library from my powerbook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do exactly this - it's straightforward but the setup will be slow if you have a big library. First point iTunes at the folder on your NAS drive so that anything you rip in Windows will be stored on the NAS drive. Then - this is the slow bit - in iTunes on the Dell, do Add folder to library and browse to the iTunes music folder on the NAS drive and add that. Warning: this takes a long time - I have 7,000-odd tunes and it took - well, at least three hours: I left mine running and went to bed at that point.

Back to My Mac and multiple iCloud accounts

I have an iMac at home and a Macbook I travel with. Previously I had just one mobileme account, and BTMM has worked like a champ. I now have multiple iCloud accounts in my household, as my wife mostly uses the iMac and I have the macbook. I very much enjoy the seemless sharing of iCal calendars and the syncing of email accounts over multiple macs and mobile devices. Trouble is to make BTMM work you have to enter preferences-->iCloud and log both computers into the same iCould account. Surely apple must have forseen this sort of problem. I as an indivdual if you have TWO computers and no one else uses them, it's no big deal to have everything on one iCloud account. But with multiple users, with multiple email accounts, that's just not realistic. I thought I may have found the work around when going to System Prefs-->Users & Groups-->and adding multilple Apple User IDs, but that doesn't work.
Any one else frustrated with this? Similar issues with Photo Stream, it would be nice to view other photo streams. Anybody got any ideas? Other than logging out of my iCloud account when away....getting all the warnings about deleting stuff off my mac with regard to iCloud..... and logging into my wifes iCloud account?
thanks

I share this frustration. Over last weekend I needed to leave my computer at home while we went across the country to visit family. I found out there I needed to access my computer and finish an item before I was to return. We brought my wife's MBAir with us just in case, and good thing too. Either way, I was required to sign out of iCloud for her, then sign in as myself. This deleted all her iCloud contacts, calendar, mail, etc. Then it had to reload mine, then when finished i had to do that process all over again for her account. It would seem a quite simple task to allow multiple iCloud accounts to view a set of computers set to any of the iCloud Apple ID's. There is a function similar to this on my TimeCapsule. I can put both of our AppleID accounts onto that device and both of us can see our TimeCapsule and all attached storage while away from home (brilliant by the way), great for accessing movies I have stored on the TimeCapsule. Any results on how to make this work? Thanks

LINUX USB install (NOT LIVE) that works on a Mac and PC

I've installed linux on a USB and I can use it on any pc I want. I just change the boot device and I'm in my private linux os with all my stuff. But if I buy a macbook can I use it on a mac, how?
There are planty tutorials how to make a LIVE USB (boots using ram - like a LVIE CD), but nowhere I can find how to but an actuall install of linux from USB on a mac that also works on a PC, is that possible, it's just a key combination or a boot order in bios or is not posible at all?
I never had a mac in my life, forgive me if this is a simple "Just hit F2, stupid!" question.
Again no ISO, no LIVE, I want the install to have my stuff, I don't want to install flash and my stuff everytime I boot.
Thanks in advance.

You can use a Linux Live USB or CD on any PC is because the hardware drivers are freely availalbe.
On Mac's that's just not the case, until later on someone who gives a ratts behind and runs Linux on a Mac, and is a command line guru can get them and publish them for others to use.
Also Mac's have all sorts of other drivers to control the fans, etc., that if one tries to boot off Linux causes issues.
Installing Linux on a Mac is a big no no, unless your a computer science graduate, because Linux installs it's Swap folder into the hidden EFI partition and reformats the Macintosh HD partiiton with OS X on it and other horrors as it's not a generic PC like people think it is.
You can install Linux into a virtual machine like virtualbox, then OS X is still controling the hardware and virtualbox is taking care of the under the hood things

External Hard Drive Re-format for Mac and PC?

Hi,
This is probably a simple enough question to be answered:
I want to format a new 1TB Hard drive so that it will work on both Mac and PC, I know FAT32 would work, but I need a format that will support files over 4gb (which FAT32 does not). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, whats the value in partitioning a 1TB into 2x 500GB, is this more stable, or is it a simple matter of better organization of files?
Thanks,
Phil.

want to format a new 1TB Hard drive so that it will work on both Mac and PC, I know FAT32 would work, but I need a format that will support files over 4gb (which FAT32 does not).
Your need to support files over 4GB and to be accessed by both Windows and OSx is the defining factor. You can format the drive in NTFS and have Windows access it directly and use [MacFuse|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/34367] with OSx to read and write to that NTFS partition. More information on MacFuse is [Here|http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/how-to-read-and-write-ntfs-windows-pa rtition-on-mac-os-x.html]. The other option is to format the drive in HFS+ and access it directly from OSx and use [MacDrive|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/13831] with Windows to read and write to that HFS partition.
MacFuse is Free while MacDrive will have to be bought for $49.95.
Also, whats the value in partitioning a 1TB into 2x 500GB, is this more stable, or is it a simple matter of better organization of files?
Its both. Think of a big text book without chapters. That would be your 1TB HD. Put some chapters/sections in it and the computer will take lesser time to access and process information. Defragmenting a HD should be easier at 500GB size than 1TB size.

External HD compatible for Mac and PC

Hi, anyone knows how to make an external HD compatible for Mac and PC?
I tried formatting in ExFAT and MS DOS but on Mac does not let to copy big files (aprox 4GB) onto the HD. And if I format on Mac Extended, Windows doesnt recognize.

Thank you OGELTHORPE and JoeyR,
Yes, I tried formatting in Ex FAT, MS DOS, and Mac Extended and did all kind of tests trying to copy from one computer to another. I have being reading in some forums also that some people have the same problem.
Formatting in FAT 32, I had to use fat32formatting.exe from this link http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm because the HD is of 500GB.
But now I have the problem that big files cannot be copied on Mac (aprox over 4GB).
ExFAT cannot be done on PC, I guess is because of the size of the HD. I only tried formatting Exfat on Mac but PC does not recognize.
Fornat it exFAT ON a Windows PC. If you are running Windows XP you need a update from Microsoft so XP can read/write and format drives exFAT. You also nee to be running either XP SP2 or SP3 to install the update from Microsoft.
Let me add that formatting it exFAT on a Mac can cause problems. Windows may not see the drive as formatted. That is why I say to format it on a Windows PC. Then both Windows and Mac will see the drive.

Mac and Windows with dual monitors Question

I use a Intel MacPro running Tiger with latest updates in my church. We use the Mac and Keynote 2.0.2 to present PowerPoint slides on the big screen (dual outputs). Everything was going well until the pastors upgraded to new computers running Vista and Office 2007. Now neither pastor's files will load into Keynote. It comes up with an error. The pastors have saved their files from PP as 2003 PPT files, and they still will not open. Error - unable to open file type. The one pastor went back to XP (dumped Vista) but still used the Office 2007 program and saved as PP2003, but the error still appears.
FYI - I noticed that Office 2007 saves with a file with the extension of .pptx instead of the .ppt. Checking the file they gave me shows that it is indead a .ppt file and not .pptx file. It makes no difference.
I believe it is an Office 2007 problem I'm dealing with. I have taken the .ppt file and loaded it onto the PC running PP 2003 and it loads fine, except for some format problems. I then resave it with a different name and tried to load that file (hoping it was converted) , with the same error showing. The problem is transfered with the file. Other files created with the PP 2003 program load fine into Keynote, so it has to be the Office2007 doing something.
So the questions are, is there an easy fix and still use the Keynote program, OR does Keynote 3 take care of this problem in the upgrade, OR should I install Win XP home or Pro and use parallels (which I have)? Would WinXP Home be enough to support the dual outputs and be fast enough? I am familiar with XP Pro not Home.
Any information you may have, could be a help. I need this resolved soon. I hate having to bring in the old Windows PC, after enjoying the quality of the Mac.

I have no issues streaming video on demand from all of the media sources which you have listed. My Mac mini is the Early '09, so my hardware is not as powerful as the newest Mac mini.
Dah•veed
Thanks David - glad to here the Mini supports dual monitors, and you're not having any streaming issues. Did you have any special settings, like "no hardware acceleration"? Are you streaming HD content?
If it supports dual monitors, then I would think the iPad could be used as a second display and input device - the demos I've seen with Air Display (from Avatron Software") would accomplish what I'm looking for. Here is a demo at http://www.vimeo.com/16950420 showing the iPad working with a Windows machine, but I've seen them working with Macs as well.
Thanks again

Mac and Windows showing different hard drive space remaining?

Hello Guys,
I am using my 1tb hard drive with mac and windows and while checking the space remaining, my mac says roughly 600gb left and my windows comp. says about 500gb left. I am just wondering which one of the storage remaining statements is correct and why they both show different numbers (by 100gb)? If it helps, this also happens to my 16gb flash drive. mac says 10 gb left, and windows says less space left (dont remember actual number, but was roughly 6-8).
Just asking becuase I want to know why such a big difference in size remaining. Could it have to do with the way each OS sees what defines the harddrive as full?
if it matters, my hdd format is MS-DOS (FAT32).
Thanks a lot,
krm1897

haha its been 2 years. And no, i didn't figure it out, but i speculate it may have to do how Mac OSX and Windows reads the FAT file system (my tb hdd was FAT formatted so i could use it on both OS) and calculates remaining space.
That may be right, or it may be completely wrong lol
