Can't get Solaris 8 to show my second hard drive.

I installed Sol8 on a 1 hard drive intel machine (as the only OS, no windows). Later, I added a second hard drive, and after running the device config assistant (DCA) still doesn't show it in the list of drives under the 'format' command.
Physically, the new hard drive is using middle IDE plug on my IDE 0, original drive is plugged in on the end of IDE 0. The new hard drive is jumperred to slave, original was orignially set for single, that didn't work so I tried jumperring that one to master, no change in results. On IDE 1 I have a cd-rom on the end plug, originally with no jumper, then added jumper for master (middle plug is empty).
In the BIOS, the second drive was detected with the right number of heads, cyl, etc. It calls it my D drive.
I can get to certain screens in DCA to show me the second drive (only in respect to which drive should boot the kernal - I don't want to install the OS on the second drive, I just want it for extra storage).
Am I missing a step, or am I not installing the hard drive correctly? After DCA and reboot, it still only gives me a choice of my origial drive for 'format', and only shows one drive in the SMC.
I don't know what is on the new drive (it was pulled from another PC).

I have the same problem on x86 Solaris 10 that the format command cannot show my second hard drive, the master and slave hard disk are attached through one single cable and Solaris 10 is intalled in the master disk. I tried devfsadm -v but it still doesn't work, do you have any other way to do that? Thank you for any help.

One last thing to add into the mix.
As you know your Router will have to probably need to be manually confiqured.
Your Router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1
The 1st port to the first machine should have an IP of 192.168.1.2
The 2nd port should have 192.168.1.3
Each corresponding port needs to have assending IP addresses.
Checking the paperwork that came with your Router will explain how to manually confiqure it.
Sometimes a complete System reset will also help.
Modem Router and Shutting off all the machines.
When powering back up start with your ISP's Modem and after it has aquired the signal and lights then you can power back your Router, and the same there wait for it to reacquire the signal and the lights each will take a minute each. Now you can restart your computers one at a time and try them. You might want to double check the cable on your troubled machine and also try switching the ports on the router and if none of this works it sounds like a bad Ethernet Card.

I can't get Time Machine to recognize my external hard drive.

I bought a new hard drive when we moved last September and it backed up my files once or twice. Now I cannot get Time Machine to recognize it at all.
I have tried to format it with Disc Utility and only get an error message: Error: Unable to unmount volume for repair. Is there anything I can do with this?

Is the drive showing up in finder?
Did you have it working then upgraded to Yosemite??
Amongst the many many bug in yosemite is a bug/s to do with no longer being able to use USB drive.
Did you try the fixes here.

Personally I would plug it into a computer running anything except Yosemite and you might find it works perfectly.. the issue then is not the drive.

Can't get rid of items that are making hard drive sleepless

I have an Intel iMac with a dead internal drive. I'm now booting and running it off its backup clone drive, an external La Cie Firewire drive. But the drive is constantly cycling, spinning down and spinning up, even when all apps are closed and the iMac seems (and should be) asleep (if the internal drive was doing this and i couldn't hear it, no wonder it died).
I looked in Activity Monitor to see what it's up to when it's supposed to be asleep, and see some repeated entries from outdated stuff- Lexmark Network Services (from a printer i no longer have) and Palm Desktop Background, from a Palm program i haven't used since 2006 and thought was de-installed.
The thing is, i can't seem to get rid of them. It's difficult to pinpoint their exact source thru Spotlight (or Inspect in Activity Monitor), and when i throw what i can trace of them in the trash, i can't empty it, i get a message that says "USB Transport rsrc is in use".
How can i get rid of these items, which are obsolete and might be what is keeping the drive cycling?
I removed a bunch of unneeded items from Login Items, but Lexmark one isn't there. And what is "Transport Monitor" (shows in both Startup Items and Activity Monitor)? Can i delete it from Login items?
Energy Saver settings seem fine- it's set to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. It's just not going inactive.
Suggestions?
I'm having to shut the iMac down whenever i walk away from it to keep from hearing all that cycling from the drive (and wondering what it's doing to the drive).

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode, like if it still changes in 5-10 minutes...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it maybe some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. It also may be Video Card or Airport going bad.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Transport Monitor & Palm Desktop are related...

HELP! Can't get iphoto library to copy to external hard drive!!!

Have read countless directions online about how to copy my iphoto'09 library to an external hard drive. Despite following the directions, opening 2 finder windows and trying to copy the iphoto library to the hard drive, it continues to show a little symbol (a circle with a slash thru it) when I try to drop the library into the hard drive. I have a signature mini hard drive 250GB with lots of storage space left. Any advice? My first Mac and I am having so much trouble getting used to how everything works. This, I cannot figure out no matter what I try. Any help is greatly appreciated!

If not do so and try again. If it still won't, download and run BatChmod on the library with the setting shown below and then try again:

Can't get my Imac to startup from the hard drive...

I'm trying to update an old tray loaded Imac G3. I've put a new hard drive and new ram in the machine. I initiallized the disk and installed OS 9.2 from an official Apple CD. I selected my main drive as my startup disk but when I restart, it gives me the old face on the blinking folder. I ran disk utility to see if the disk was damaged and everything came out fine. I wiped the disk clean and reinstalled but still the same problem. Any guesses... I'm stumped. One other thing, when I'm booted from the OS 9 CD, is it normal for me to get errors that says the startup disk is locked?
Imac G3 Mac OS 9.2.x Tray loaded CD ROM

Hi, braddo -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
One other thing, when I'm booted from the OS 9 CD, is it normal for me to get errors that says the startup disk is locked?
Yes.
When you boot to a CD, the CD is the startup disk. Since a CD like that can not be written to (which is one of its advantages), it is, in effect, a locked disk. Hence the message.
An old tray loader iMac is probably an original Bondi 233MHz machine, or a later 5-Flavors 266MHz or 333MHz model. Those models are subject to the 8GB restriction as described in this Apple KBase article -
Article #25249 - Gray or White Screen After Hard Drive Upgrade
If the new hard drive is 8GB or larger, it will need to be partitioned such that the first partition is a bit less than 8GB (7.7GB is a safe size), and all OS's installed on that partition.
The installer on all OS 9 Install CDs will not check for compliance with that requirement (the installers on OSX install CDs will check for it).

How can I get my MacBook to recognize my external hard drive again?

Hi,
I own a 500GB Toshiba external hard drive, and I've been using it for months now, and up until today it's worked flawlessly. I never formatted it, I just used it as a mass storage device so that I wouldn't have compatibility issues with PC's because of the formatting. For some unknown reason, today the hard drive decided it didn't want to work; I can't see it in the Finder. However, I tried it on a PC today and it's just fine there. I've never disconnected it without ejecting it first or anything else that I can think of that might damage the drive. I'm at a total loss, though admittedly I'm a novice, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking here. What can I do to fix this problem?
Another thing: I just upgraded from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8... could that cause issues?
Thanks! If this is a topic that's already been discussed, please link me to the thread or article.

Does it appear in Disk Utility? (located in utilities folder of applications)
If so is it mountable from there?
And just to check- you are using the same connection (USB or firewire) to connect the PCs and the Mac?

How can I get my data off my MacBook Pro hard drive?

So initially, water was spilled on my MacBook Pro keyboard. I promptly shut it down, turned it upside down, mopped up the water and let it dry out for a day near a heater. The next day it worked fine and continued to do so for about 2 more days until it decided it would no longer start up. Right now it can't make it to the login screen at start up, it just shuts down, the same thing happens in safe mode as well. So, since I haven't backed up my data recently, I was wondering if there was a way I could rescue my data from the hard drive. I did take it in to the Genius Bar, but they couldn't help me since it wouldn't start up in safe mode. Is there a way around this like hooking up an alternate monitor or am I just screwed?

Can I get my bios to recognize a 3TB Hard Drive?

The system is
HP Pavilion Media Center m8430f Desktop PC
The bios version is 5.43
It keeps reading the drive as only 750g
I have the newest firmware for the drive.
The hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001
This question was solved.
View Solution.

UPDATE---
First get the latest INTEL RAPID STORAGE TECHNOLOGY update.
This will allow windows to recognize the drive completely but will only allow you to allocate 1.3tb - which leaves another 746g
Then using the SEGATE DISCWIZARD mentioned by 'Provost'(thank you) will then allow you to allocate the remanding space.

How can I get albums back that are on my hard drive that seem to have

uninstalled from iTunes. I have some songs that are on my iPod, but no longer in iTunes....why did this happen, and can I correct it without having to do each song or album individually?
Thanks!

" I have some songs that are on my iPod, but no longer in iTunes"
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Can't get Quicktime 7 to work after restore hard drive

I had to reformat and reinstall windows XP home. Everything works fine but I can't apply my license key to Quicktime Pro 7.
When I enter the license key from the Email I received it says invalid registration. I still have the receipt and order number as well as the key sent to me at purchase in Oct,05 (8 months ago).
Why won't this key let me register the product??????? It works fine as the FREE version but says my purchase is not vaid.

Use copy/paste from the email to the registrations fields.
Too easy to enter an O where a zero is used. The name must match too including a salutation (if used in the email).
