Can't Find A Hard Disc to install

I'd like to add an additional Hard Disc but cannot find one for the older MacPro version. Is there somewhere on this site I can buy one? If not, why? More importantly, where can I buy one?
Processor 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 Install - Can't find my hard-drive!

Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help. I've recently bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite pro L650 (PSK1KA-02D01E) running Windows 7 After a few weeks, things started to get really slow. Then I woke up one morning to discover it stuck on the first screen when I turn it on.
I thought I had a virus, so then decided to do a full re-format and re-install windows. After I formatted the correct partition, I went to install Windows 7 again Only for it to say "windows could not detect a disc drive" it asks me to install drivers for the hard-drive, which I can't seem to find.
it's a sata hard-drive (TOSHIBA MK6465GSX) I think is the model number. I can not find the hard-drive drivers anywhere. The other strange thing, is every now and then, it finds the hard-drive, but states that windows can not install onto that drive (even when I format it, try to add a partition and so forth) I have been into bios, I don't really know a great deal of what I am looking at, but it sometimes states my hard-drive is there, and other times it does not.
I am so desperate to get this fixed. Does anyone have any ideas? I live pretty remotely so taking it back and getting it fixed is not ideal.. but maybe necessary.
Thanks in anticipation..

It sounds like the hard drive is dying. The Win7 install shouldn't need a driver for the drive.

I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve? I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

New computer, can't find my CS5 disc, where to download?

I got a new PC, and I can only find my CS3 disc. I installed it, and then downloaded CS5.5, but I guess my serial number (which I retrieved off My Adobe) won't work. I purchased an upgrade CS5 version 7.0 (which installed fine on my old computer upgrading from CS3), so I need to find where I can download that.
Why does adobe only seem to make the latest version available for download? Where can I get CS5? HELP!!!!!!!!!

You can try Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
I don't know if they have the CS5 downloads, too. You must follow the directions on that page EXACTLY or it won't work.

I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

My iphoto is missing and i can't find my installer disc

My iphoto is missing and i can't find my installer disc. Help me please.

Do you use Time Machine backup? You could restore the app from there.
Did you go through the Applications folder?
Did you try to search for it using the spotlight?
Did you look in Trash?
If it is no longer on your Mac, you'll have to purchase new install discs (Amazon, etc....)
Since you are on G5, App Store and direct download is out of question.

Can't find the hard disk

Hi Everyone, My iMac G5 20" (not iSight) is about 18 months old and I never had any problem with it until a week ago, when it started booting up with white blank screen. I tried to start it up by Tiger, but wouldn't have it, so I went to change the PRAM battery, but broke the clip, now put a new battery and fixed the problem somehow, BUT regardless how often and how hard I tried, the computer can not find the hard disk when it reaches the installation stage. Not by the system DVD or by it's disk utility. I tried the hard disk in my PowerMac, it works fine. I tried another hard disk, just the same. The three lights on the motherboard come on just fine. I have also tried it with the original DVDs (10.3.9) but just the same. Any ideas please? Many thanks

Hi,
Ref: iMac 20" (not iSight) model.
Well, I started it by holding down the option key, like usual it only show the flashing icon the the center of the white screen toggling the small square with question mark, looking for the hard drive.
I boot the iMac by system CD, it takes me through first 5/6 stages and finally does not find any hard drive to install. During this process, when I use the Apple Hardware, it does not find anything.
The hard drive works fine on other machines and other working machine hard drive will not be detected on the iMac.
All three logicboard light come on, showing it works fine, according to Apple manual.
The iMac was working fine, then after started to miss detecting the hard drive a few times during it last two weeks of being used, now it will not detect the hard drive.
Looking from logical point of view, it leads to one of the two cables connecting the hard drive to the logicboarde being faulty, but they have never been touched before as well as look fine.
Would it be caused by backup battery (PRAM)?
Thanks

OS 8.6 reinstall/Cannot find destination hard disc

I have initialised the drive on my G4 power pc and am attempting to reinstall the original OS 8.6 from CD rom. It boots up from the this disc but cannot find destination hard disc to reinstall software to. What should I do?

Hi, pjam007 -
It is sounding more and more like the drive has failed, although it is possible that the controller for the ATA bus has failed. The test for either is the same - get another drive (a known-good one, or a new one) and see if it works. If it does, then the original drive failed; if it does not, then the controller has probably failed.
Caveat - sometimes a too-weak or dead internal battery can cause serious booting problems, although since the machine will boot to a CD it is doubtful that this is the cause of the current problem. Nonetheless, if you do not know for sure that the battery has been replaced within the last four years, or if the machine has been left unplugged for an extended period, I would replace the battery anyway.
While replacing the battery, it would be advisable to also reset the CUDA or PMU, as appropriate -

Flashing file folder - can't find the hard drive-imacG3 - 9.1

When I attempted to start up I got a flashing "?" in a folder. I loaded the hardware test CD and everthing tested fine but no hard drive was listed. I loaded the software install CD and got the message"disk is unreadable. Do you want to inintialize". Options were Standard 9.5 GB or extended. Is there anything I can do other than initialize and lose everything? If I do initialize should it be standard or extended? If the hardware test can't find the hard drive how did the software install disk recognize it. Any ideas? Thanks

Unfortunately both of those must run from a bootable CD or bootable device that isn't the startup volume. And, by the way, both of those applications do cost money.
TechTool Pro comes from Micromat and you would need version 3.0.9 (final for Mac OS9) from them.
DiskWarrior is a bit tricky as the CD is bootable only in Mac OS 10 and can cripple an iMac Slot Loading machine that hasn't had the Firmware update. They include an older Mac OS 9 version on that CD however you would have to install it into something that is bootable.

Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

The detailed problem is that I had used the computer for a long time without turning off. I wanted to give it to someone else so I needed to clean the data off. Before deleting anything I switched off then on and the HD seemed to have developed a fault as the start up routine began then when the Hd started the computer crashed and restarted at the begining with the startup routine and I have not been able to go further than this. I changed the HD for an old one that I had replaced previously which had the same software system, Leopard. This worked perfectly but on switching off then on behaved as the other had.
I figured that if I could start with the restore disc I could clean the HD or at least investigate it. Hence the need for a restore disc.
Would this work or is there something in the logic board that is upsetting the HD and what ever I do will not cure the problem.
Any thoughts??

Be very very careful if you decide to use Terminal. Even a small typing error can cause a disaster. And terminal commands must be typed exactly as shown, including spaces.
Good luck.
