Can I externally connect my original HDD?

I have a Portege R835-P55X and I replaced the hard drive. I was able to use a recovery USB to relaod the operating system with no issues. I tried to use an external SATA to USB adapter to connect the original drive externally to get some of the files off. When I connect it to another Windows 7 system the drive shows up but Windows Explorer cant navigate the drive, it tells me I need to format it. If I put the original drive back in the toshiba laptop, it boots up just fine.
I can move the files over the network, but I'd rather direct connect the drive.
The funny thing is after I recovered the OS to the new drive I could not read it externally from another Windows 7 machine. I'm guessing this is related to how Toshiba's recover process writes out the boot sectors of the hard drive but I have not found any posts that confirm that conclusion.
Appreciate the advice.

Yes, you should be able to access the drive directly that way and transfer data files.
Attach to your reply a picture of how things look in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)

There were some bugs in some versions of Samba that caused this.
Have you checked to see whether there's an updated version of firmware available for your ASUS router?

Is there a cd drive that can be externally connected with my macbook pro unibody version approx. 2007? My cd drive is broke and want to upgrade to lion but need to update to snow leopard first.

Is there an external cd drive that can be connected to my macbook pro, unibody, approx 2007. My cd drive is broken and I want to install snow leopard which only comes on a cd.

Yes Any exrernal DVD drive that connecs by USP port will work. It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it to work. I use an Asus, got it from newegg.com. $30US.

Installed a ssd in my mini. How to start up from the original HDD?

I guess I need to buy a dock to connect the original HDD via usb to my mini.
I have windows installed on my HDD with a software I rarely need. It is not available for mac and I do not want to install windows on my SSD.
If I connect my HDD via USB to the mini can I chose on which disk to start up and how?

Can I use disk utilitiy recovery to clone original hdd to a new one

Hi,
My original hdd refuses to boot up, and using disk utility via recovery mode to try and fix it just gives me an error "disk utility stopped repairing the drive, salvage data and format etc." giving an error about invalid node structure or something. Tried using target disk mode with a friend's mac when I was at work but the drive didn't even want to mount. Assuming it's about to die, I have just bought a new hdd (XT Hybrid) and since my mac is pre-Lion era (2010 model) I don't have a built in recovery mode, but strangely enough hooking up my old hdd with a dock and option-booting to it I can still access the recovery HD partition on it.
So I was thinking if i can essentially "clone" my original hdd to the new one using the restore tab on disk utility, and try using disk repair on it to get it working? or is there another app I can use that will do this (being mindful that I don't have access to another mac or the OS on the HDD to run it, so it'll have to be "live", and preferably free)
Or should I just cut my losses and just put a fresh install on it...
Yes I do have a time machine backup, but there's two reasons I want to see if this works - one is that although time machine is quite up to date (within a week I'm guessing, can't remember), it's obviously won't have the new content created during the day(s) before I was able to plug in my external hdd, and secondly since I don't have access to another mac to create a lion install usb drive, I'll have to use the internet recovery, and knowing my internet connection, 4gb download would take probably overnight and nearly a whole day to finish (assuming it doesn't drop out).
Thanks in advance.
Roy.

Tell you what you do
Get out your 10.6 disk, buy a IDE/SATA to USB adpater cable for $12-$20.
Swtich the drives

c boot off the 10.6 disk and Zero erase the new drive to map off bad sectors, format GUID with OS X ext. journaled.

install 10.6, differnt name user Admin account use, software update fully, option click on purchases and reinstall Lion and update.
install programs from fresh sources, and migrate the user account back from your TM drive just to minimalize contamination from older OS X or programs on the bad drive.
if it goes badly, you can log into admin account and delete the user, try again
next get yourself Data Rescue $99 and hook up the bad drive, run that against it and send the output to another drive, then pick through the files.
 Data recovery efforts explained
if migration on the TM drive doesn't work, you can run Data Rescue on that too, a lot more files to pick through.
consider cloning your boot drive, it's a much better option than TM

I recently purchased a time capsule and thought I would put my itunes on it as an external drive as my mac book air only has 120gb. However I can not be connected to the internet and the TC at the same time in order to download the files to the TC. Help?

I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks

Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

Help! (please :) I have a 1GB iPod that's loaded with music for which my computer can no longer find the original files-due to external mass storage crash during recent move. Is there a way to import iPod music back into my iTunes library on computer???

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

Can i remotely connect to my external hard disk from my iPhone/iPad?

Hello,
I just bought a new apple time capsule.
Can i remotely connect it with my mac without a static public IP?
I read that i can not reach it remotely anymore for iPhone en iPad since the last update, is that correct?
So than i want to connect my external connected hard disk. Is this possible with my iPhone or iPad?
I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
Can anybody explain how i can fix this?
Thx
Macbook Pro 2012, iPhone 6, iPad air 2, Apple TV

Apple have no method to connect iOS device to the TC at any time.. LAN or WAN.. so any method you use must come from 3rd party app.
I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
It works as well as any other app can. Remote access must be based on a network protocol and the only ones supported by Apple are AFP and SMB.
AFAIK people have not been successful getting AFP based file apps on iOS to work remotely although I have not checked closely for a while.
So you have to use SMB.. and at least filebrowser has instructions.
http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
It is however unsafe opening SMB at any time. And I suggested people try it with different ports instead of obvious ones.. but that didn't work so why it needs to be 20445 I don't know.. but it does make it fairly obvious.
The alternative method which is really the only safe way to do this is using a different router.. one with built in vpn servers. These used to be expensive but you can buy them now for less than $100.. or use routers with 3rd party. You have to move the TC to being bridged and used as WAP and switch. However that is not a major issue. The vpn router will include a standard ddns client so that fixes not having static IP.
And iOS has good vpn clients built in or app add ons.
VPN is the right way to do this.
And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it has no media extensions. Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer. So you must have an application which can stream from TC to the ATV which means you need a computer with iTunes or you need ipad and some software that can read files and stream it.. obviously apple built the system for itunes and itunes pretty much exclusively.
If you get a WD live TV it can play source material directly from TC.. because it is a true media player. Apple TV cannot.

I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore should be very smooth.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can external connection attempts be logged?

Once upon a time I had a Linksys BEFSR router. A very nice feature was that each
connection attempt was logged and the router also broadcast the connection attempt
info ie the evil IP.
It was very interesting to see all of the attempts by hackers to get into my network...
Does the dual band AEBS offer any way ( via SNMP trap?) to capture connection
attempt information?
Jerry

Yes, just make sure SNMP is enabled in the Advanced pane. And use a SNMP client to monitor the > base station. Any SNMP client that knows the Apple base station MIB should do. If not, you can
download it from here.
I use a utility called AirportMonitor
Hi, thanks for the reply...
I do have SNMP enabled and when I do a walk of the AEBS I don't see any signs of a foreign
(external) connection attempts.
I do something like:
snmpwalk -c public -v 2c router
I just tried increasing the syslog level, to information but nothing new has appeared.
I looked the the screens for airport monitor on the app site but did not see connection
attempts....

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

My understanding is that a virtual pipe is opened up between the two
hosts(client and server [server usually being Forte]), and that will
ensure separation of data that may be inbound to the server from
multiple hosts. I am not sure what happens if the one client makes
multiple connections to the host, perhaps a unique handle is created for
each connection and this will keep the data streams seperate.

I have read where Forte suggests that for inbound external
connections, you
create a single listener task, and for each connection request it
returns a
new ExternalConnection to process. My question is fairly simple :
does
this mean that in Forte's infinite wisdom it can distinguish between
two
different read/write sequences happening at the same time and needing
processing differently? In essence, are we assured that two different
streams of data, writing to what they see as the same port, will be
going
to the correct processing thread? If so...Cool.
