Big problem possibly hard disc

My iPod has just recently freezing constantly during certain songs and thus gave me a message to restore it using iTunes. I did this and after recconectiing I types the name etc and then I went tocopy some songs over. After about 130 songs (in the process ofcopying more) it started making very noisy beeps and showed signs of unneccessary hard disk activity,which ater a short pause continued. After I ejected my iPod to see how it was going I discovered that it had wiped every song just copied over, and now it is not recognised by either my Wndows XP Pro machine or my Windows Vista Home Premium laptop and just get told by iTunes to restore it, but can't as the tab doesn't appear. As it only affected certain songs, I imagine that it is a hardarefault. Also before his which has rendered it useless it was very dodgy at turning off, is that a common problem. I bought my iPod at my local Currys on the 28th June last year so i assume they wouldnt have to help with getting a replacement. Any help much appreciated
Currently the only message I get from iTunes is that it cannot read the contents of my iPod

Yeah but I don't know if I still have my receipt though so can't prove the purcahse, and I didn't have internet when I bought it so haven't registered it. Only got as far as proof of purchase yesterday. Also I used my older PC running iTunes 6 (still XP Pro) and it restored it successfully to software version 1.1.1 (like when purchased) and it worked temporarily (with problems displaying artist if album name hadn't been filled etc) then when I copied about 200 songs back to it and it froze and was wiped when I ejected it. Now the "iTunes cannot read your iPod message" has reappeared. I'm suspect that a part of the hard disc has broken and it cannot copy by it

Problem with hard disc.

Hello,I've bought a new Macbook with Retina Display and new hard disc .
The name of the hard disc is "Seagate".My laptop can not see the hard disc.
And i can not understand where the image of disc must come.

Is it a USB drive? If so, have you installed the recent update? Does the drive show up in Disk Utility?

Big problems after hard drive failure - Please help.

About 2 weeks ago, my Macbook seized, and was sent to Apple to repair.
It was found that the hard drive failed, and 2 weeks later I received my macbook back with a new hard drive.
Luckily I had backed up my home drive and was able to restore it using backup.
Now this is where my problems start.
My home drive is not the same name ( I think - I can'r remember too well what it was called previously )
I have my entire music library backed up to an external hard drive, and mounting this hard drive is a REAL pain in the *** now.
Sometime it loads up, sometime it just doesn;t get recognised, and I can put the USB connection in and out 10 times before it mounts.
I have verified the disk, and nothing is wrong.
Does anyone know what this problen could be ?
I have left the external hard drive in during the night, and after the macbook goes to sleep, I will go back to it in the morning, and the hard drive has been unmounted, and I repeat the exercise over again of trying to mount the drive.
Its so annoying, and I just dont know wht to do.
If anyone can help, I;d really appreciate it.

SMART status is a pretty reliable indicator of what is going on. You should back up your irreplaceable files as soon as possible.

Yes, that is a hard drive failure and means you need a replacement.
Post back with more questions and how you wish to proceed. If you wish to procure and install and configure a new hard drive let us know what country you live in and whether you have recovery disks.

A205-S5000 won't boot. Says possible hard drive problem

Laptop won't boot and says possible hard drive problem. Need to recover
personal reports and data, so thinking of removing the drive and using an enclosure
so the data, if still good, can be extracted from the drive by another computer. Question
is, will I be able to create the restore cd's from the hard drive if the hard drive is not the
boot drive ie; attached to a 2nd computer via usb and enclosure.
If it's not possible, I can try to create cd's from a different model laptop (toshiba), same vista os but
what about the product key? I will try to reinstall the bad drive and try a reboot to recovery mode but
I doubt that is going to work or complete. Idea was to get a new drive and try to install recovery disks.

Recovery discs must be from an identical model. If you can't burn them from that computer, best to order them
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
The restored Windows is pre-activated.

There are a few methods:
Restore your system using the recovery partition (I am unsure if you would lose any data on the existing drive - it is most likely you will)
Do a repair install of Windows if you have a Windows XP CD available (I do not know if Vista has this function)
Remove the hard drive from the computer, and plug it into a computer that has an antivirus already installed, using a laptop IDE to USB adapter if you have access to one
Look online to see if you can find more information about how to manually remove the virus - I have been unable to find that particular virus name - are you sure that is the virus you have?
It is likely your hard drive did not die, the virus just prevented your system from booting properly.

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

External Hard disc problem

I just bought a Samsung portable hard-disc (external) but I've run into some trouble.
I don't have a problem transferring files to the hard-disc from my old dell laptop (plug and play), and I can copy the files from the hard disc to my MBP. However, whenever I try to copy files from the MBP to the hard-disc, I get an error messag that goes: "xxx file may not be transferred because "New Volume" (title of hard-disc) cannot be modified.
I tried erasing the hard-disc using disc utility, and that allowed me to copy files from the MBP to the hard-disc. However, after doing so, my dell laptop couldn't detect the external hard-disc. I then formatted the hard-disc and gave it a disc-path on my dell, but when I did that, I got the aforementioned error message when I tried copying files over from my MBP to the external hard disc.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

The reason your Mac couldn't write to the disk initially is probably that your Dell formatted the disk as an NTFS volume (most Windows disk are formatted as NTFS these days). OS X can read an NFTS disk, but cannot write to it.
When you erased the disk with Disk Utility in OS X, it's likely that you reformatted the disk as an HFS+ volume (most OS X disks are formatted as HFS+ these days). Unfortunately, Windwos cannot read or write HFS+ without some third party software.
You have two solutions available.
First, you could use Disk Utility (or the Windows equivalent) to format the drive as a FAT32 partition. Both Windows and OS X can read and write to FAT32. However, FAT32 is a bit of an outdated standard, inferior to both NTFS and HFS+.
The other option is to keep the disk formatted as HFS+, but use third party software to work with the disk in Windows. Google "Macdrive" and you will find some nice software for this. The downside here is that you have to buy a third-party program. However, HFS+ is far superior to FAT32, and at least you can try out Macdrive for free before deciding to pay up and go this route in the long run.

Sap installation is possible in external hard disc

i planned to install sap in my external hard disc its possible,
and its durable , can i conect with lap top

HI,
you mean to say your main OS is on laptop and you want to install SAP on USB.
-> do you want to install it on Linux?
-> installation is possible , but you are getting poor performance.
-> hardware requirement is depends on what do you want to install?

Possible importing assistance for MPEG-2 hard disc camcorders..

I haven't tried this (..I don't have a hard-drive camcorder ..oh; but I do have a FireStore..) ..anyway: for your info, MacInTouch today mentions a program called "VideoPier", whose blurb says:
"VideoPier is the missing link between MPEG2 camcorder and your Mac.
It lets you visualize the clips on your camera that Quicktime would otherwise refuse to open.
VideoPier lets copy them to disk, and export them to any format for viewing (iPod, AppleTV, iPhone) or editing (iMovie 06/08)."
I've no idea whether this plays nicely with QuickTime or not, or causes any problems, or runs smooth and sweet.
But this might be useful for people with a hard-disc MPEG-2 camcorder. Perhaps someone will try it and report back.

I use MPEG Streamclip (free) with the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99) to convert "muxed" MPEG-2, VOBs, etc. to DV or AIC for editing in both iMovie '06 and '08.

Problem in restore software and files from time machine to new hard disc

hello, recently im just change my macbook's hard disc, and i can't open any of my software and also the finder is keep no responding after i restore my files and software from time machine. Got any solution about it?

I see. Don't do that. I do not believe using Migration Assistant is a valid method of accomplishing what you intend.
Furthermore, unless you are using the "Enter Time Machine" feature, you really shouldn't pick and choose what you want to copy from a Time Machine backup... "no user serviceable parts inside". You can certainly find and individual files and folders in the Finder, but you will run into the permissions problems you describle. I would not attempt to circumvent those protections.
As I understand Time Machine, you must either restore a volume from a Time Machine backup, thereby erasing the volume first, or restore individual files and folders by using "Enter Time Machine" when the backup has already been properly designated for the source.
Since your replacement hard disk - the source, now - is technically new, the latter is not an option. It's as if you were trying to restore to a different computer. This can't be done.

Hard disc problem?

Whenever I try to sync songs to it, it transfers normally for a bit, and then hangs up and won't transfer anymore, leaving only a few complete songs and the rest partial or untransfered. This is often followed by my music "disappearing" on my iPod. The space is still used, but it says there is no music on it. This problem has progressively worsened in the past week, to the point where I cannot sync any songs. My previous iPod suffered the same thing shortly before dieing completely. I have tried resetting, restoring, different USB ports, cables, syncing programs, and computers. Is there any way to have this fixed, since I've had my iPod for only four months?

If in warranty you need to contact HP warranty support to fix this otherwise if out of warranty you should copy your data/file to save them and buy a new HDD and if you didn't create the REcovery Media when you first bought the laptop you will need to reorder them from HP and use those to restore it back to Factory install.

X200 exchange standard hard disc for SSD possible?

Hi!
I have the option to purchase a new Lenovo X200; however, my local distributor only offer a standard 250 GB hard disc. I would like to exchange that later for an SSD, but I don't know if a "standard" 2.5" SSD-disc will fit. For example OCZ Series V2 with 120 GB?
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_core_series_v2_sata_ii_2_5-ssd
Two questions:
1) does the above hard disc fit in a "standard" X200 (that was not shipped with an SSD disc)?
2) Any recommendations for/against the above SSD disc?
Thank you very much,
Jorg Conradt

Hi Lenovo community,
I am considering getting an X200 laptop, but I would prefer to have a larger SSD than Lenovo offers, e.g. 250GB:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_core_series_v2_sata_ii_2_5-ssd
In the OCZ support forum, however, many people report problems regarding slow harddisc access with particular laptops, chip sets, bios version, etc.
http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=88
Is anyone running an X200 with a 3rd party SSD (or even with that particular OCZ SSD) and can comment on that?
Thanks for any advise!
Jorg

IPod folder icon, no communication, hard disc error problems

Hi,
For a while now, I've been getting a message when I plug it into my computer: 'ipod_control/device/sysInfo is corrupt, please run chkdsk.'
Last night I ripped a few CDs and uploaded them to the pod. I noticed that not all the tunes had copied over. I tried again a few times and kept getting the error "The iPod <podname> cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-36)". I tried uploading a tune at a time and it was incredibly slow and eventually just stopped altogether.
So I figured it was maybe time to follow the instructions and run chkdsk. This seemed to fix three broken files including the one mentioned above and a couple of tunes, so I rebooted etc and tried uploading tunes again. Same as before.
So then I thought, OK, maybe I need to get the latest iPod software. I downloaded it and went to update it and it initialised OK, then said something about that it couldn't write the new software due to a hard disc error.
Then all it would give me was an exclamation mark and a folder icon on the pod screen.
I then went to the Apple site and followed various instructions about resetting it and putting it into disk mode, to try and run the update there, and the updater hung, giving me only a blank screen without even getting past the initialisation stage any more. I managed to get the pod out of disk mode but all it does now is give me the !folder icon on the screen.
Now the computer won't even recognise it as an ipod when it's plugged in, just a removable disc. When I click on the disc in Windows explorer, it asks me if I want to format it.
I've tried the updater again and it still doesn't get past the initialisation stage. Which means I don't even have the option of doing a Restore, as far as I can see.
Have I killed my iPod? Is there a way I can get it back? Obviously it would be nice to get all my tunes back but if I have to start again, so be it.
Thanks,
Jo
Update:
Never mind.... After more shenanigans with my Windows box, I decided there was nothing else to be done but to zap the Pod and start again. I took it to my iBook which was only too happy to talk to the Pod and reformat it and restore it. I am now reaching for my CD collection....
(Incidentally, the only reason I was using Windows in the first place is because that particular machine is much quicker at ripping CDs)
