Can TOSHIBA STOR.E BASICS 2.5'' be used in mac?

I bought TOSHIBA STOR.E BASICS 2.5'' because I read that, although prepared for windows, it could be adapted to be used on mac. HOW?

Thank you so much for this post, I have followed these steps to reformat my new 1TB Toshiba Stor.e Basics as well as the instructions in the link http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html and have received the following error message:
Partition failed
Partition failed with error:
Couldn't unmount disk.
I have received the same message when applying instructions for 'Erase' tab and for 'Partition' tab.
I purchased the HD "new" on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toshiba-1TB-StorE-Basics-USB-3-0-2-5-Portable-External -Hard-Drive-Matte-Black-/360847454928?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160
Please let me know if you can help, thank you so much.

  • Toshiba Stor.e basics 1TB Extremely slow on Mac Book pro

    Hi,
    I've just bought a Toshiba Stor.e basics 1TB and it's extremely slow, it's taken around a day and still 2 are pending to conclude a copy of less than 100 gigas, 3days!!! 
    I've tried formating it with FAT32 and MacOs Plus, same results, what's wrong with this product?

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

  • Toshiba STOR.E Basics 1TB - extremely slow

    Hi,
    I've recently bought this Toshiba STOR.E Basics 1TB USB 3.0 HDTB110EK3BA and it's extremely slow, taking already around 48h for copying less than 100Gb.
    I'm formating it Mac Os Plus and using a Mac Book Pro with USB3
    Why is that happening?
    Thanks
    BR/ Javi

    Why the data transfer is slow?
    Who knows there are many reasons for that you will need to check some few things to get an answer for that
    Fact is that this HDD support the USB 3.0 standard.
    This means that this HDD operates with USB 3.0 performance (~ 130MB/s)
    Fact is that the USB 3.0 HDD needs more power than the common USB 2.0 HDDs.
    The USB 3.0 needs 900mA, the USB 2.0 HDD needs 500mA
    Therefore its recommended to connect such HDD to two USB 2.0 ports using Y USB cable.
    At the other hand the data transmission speed might be limited to the notebook (chipset).
    Maybe your internal HDD does not provide more performance to transmit the data to the external HDD.
    I read some test about this HDD and many users got the great performance.
    Using USB 2.0 ports: 31,8 MB/s write ; 31,5 MB/s read
    using USB 3.0 ports : 105,45 MB/s write ; 108,89 MB/s read
    I recommend you to install some Disk Benchmark tools like ATTO to check the performance using other computer.

  • HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

    I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

    No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
    AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function.  Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
    AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc.  If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.

  • Can i attach and send photo's etc using my mac and my hotmail account??

    hey guys
    for some reason when ever i use apple mail to send aphoto it asks for a password which it wont accetp then.
    just wondering therefore if i could attach photo;s with my hotmail. account.
    happy new year
    code

    1/ if i am in hotmail and want to attach a photo from iphoto with my email. i go into attachments, however i cannot get into iphoto i can however get into photo booth and send one of those pics. when i say i cannot get into iphoto, i mean it is very "shadowed" writing and so the cursor does not turn into a hand and therefore cannot open.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Can I add my MSN contacts to iChat using my .Mac account?

    I was wondering if there is anyway to add my MSN contacts on to iChat using my Mac account. I know that it is possible using a Jabber account and using my MSN account on iChat, but since I am paying for a .Mac account I might as well maximize its capabilties.
    Please help,
    shivsensarma

    You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
    You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
    Read the first two links in this section
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
    The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

  • Can i store my photos on icloud instead of my mac

    I would like to send all my photos to the cloud to free up storage on my macbook air. Can I do this? How do I do this?

    No.  The iCloud is not for storing files of any kind from the Mac.  The fill lowing if from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    This will change somewhat with the release of Yosemite and the iCloud Drive.  But currently what you need to do is enable a local backup strategy to an HD connected directly to your Mac. There is no cloud backup available that can support an iPhoto Library package.  Regular files, yes but not iPhoto or Aperture libraries.

  • How can i store just my photos in iCloud using my iPad

    i would like to take my photos off my iPad air and store them in iCloud. is there a way to do that similar to drop box. Also, if i choose iCloud will i be able to format my pictures in folders like i can do with iPhoto?

    On Monday there will be when iOS 8.1 is released then ... with iCloud Photo Library. But it is still in beta, so I would still do an alternate backup until it's out of beta.

  • How can i store music on my iPhone and use iTunes match?

    I signed up for Itunes match but found the streaming music uses a lot of data and is too expensive.  I then put the music back on my iphone but found that enabling itunes match will delete the music on my phone.  Is there anyway to keep the music on my iphone and also connect to itunes match?

    Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
    I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
    Thanks again!

  • Can not sync my Blackberry 8830 with MacBook using Pocket Mac for BlackBerryto Entourage 2008

    I recently purchased a Verizon plan with my new BlackBerry 8830 Curve. I also downloaded pocketmac for blackberry with the Verizon technical support person. He spent almost 2 hours with me yesterday. We still can not sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar events to my mackbook on Entourage 2008.
    This is the message I get:
    [02:20:57.110] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
    [02:21:01.076] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool. 
    PS, they even typed in locate incorrectly.
    Can some help? I am stressed out that I only have one location where my contacts are located- the BB
    Thanks
    Henry

    Guess what ? Pocketmac for Blackberry just released a new version this afternoon. 4.125.
    I downloaded the new version and it now has a sync for Entourage 2008 and it works BB to Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 to BB.
    Thanks to them for finally fixing this major flaw

  • Can two (or more) macbook air superdrives be used on mac mini

    on the new (july 2011) mac mini, can I connect two or more of the macbook air superdrives?

    I agree with John.
    We don't know how the ports are laid out, but if they're a pair (1-2)(3-4), I'd not plug both drives into (1-2) or (3-4). I'd  start with the outermost ones.
    Please report back if it works.
    And, I can't help but smile that you want to use two superdrives with the mini, because those of use who would have loved Apple to keep a superdrive in the 2011 mini, have been getting flack from those who love the omission, that the technology is obsolete, discs aren't used any more, time to move forward, ...

  • Can not scan with MF4770n. I am using a Mac OS 10.8.5 and using a USB cable.

    The computer and the scan function do not connect with each other.    I can print but not scan.  Not sure what to do?   

    Hi LanceH.
    Unfortunately, the images did not display.  Do you have any type of USB hub or switch connected between the printer and the computer?  If so, please remove it and connect the printer and the computer directly.  I also recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the ScanGear driver. Remove the USB cable and follow the steps below:
    Click [GO] at the top of your screen and select [Applications > Canon MF Utilities] and delete the [Canon MF Toolbox].
    Click [GO] and select [Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Canon] and delete [ScanGear MF, WMCLibrary.framework, and WMCReg.plist]
    ***The next two steps deletes information for all scanners.  You will have to reinstall any other scanners you have connected.*** 
    Click [GO] and select [Macintosh HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices] and delete [Canon MFScanner.app].
    Click [GO] and select [Macintosh HD > Library > Image Capture > TWAIN Data Sources] and delete [Canon MF4700.ds and Canon MF4700 USB.ds]
    Restart the computer.
    Empty the Trash Bin.
    Reinstall the ScanGear driver and try to scan again.
    If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend that you contact us so that we can further assist you.

  • Can you send e-mails from ipod touch using a .mac alias?

    hi everyone,
    i have a number of .mac email aliases set up on my email account, for instance for signing up to websites. when i send e-mail on my mac, i can select which alias i want the e-mail to be sent from. however, i don't seem to have that option on my ipod touch - mail is automatically sent from my main mac.com e-mail address.
    is there anyway to send e-mail from one of my .mac aliases on my ipod touch?

    Not at this time, no. You can submit a feature request to Apple:

  • Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

    I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
    Thanks
    WirelessCharge

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal
