Change the hard disk

Hi!
I´ve change my iPd´s HD and now my Mac doesn´t recognize it.
I suppose i have to install the firmware in the new HD, but i don´t know what i have to do.
Anybody can help me??
Thanks

Connect the iPod and run iTunes. If iTunes see the iPod, it should offer to use the Restore process to format the drive and install/initialize the iPod's software. If it does not offer to do so automatically, but the iPod appears under DEVICES in the iTunes sidebar, select the iPod in the sidebar and use the Restore button on the iTunes window.
If iTunes does not recognize the iPod, run Disk Utility with the iPod connected. Does it show up in the Disk Utility sidebar? If so, select the iPod's drive (not the volume indented under the drive) and go to the Erase tab. Erase the iPod using +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ as the format type. Once that process completes, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. Skip thru any dialogs about syncing the iPod for the moment and use the Restore process to install and initialize the iPod's software. Now you can set it up and sync it as desired.

    It certainly sounds like a bad HD to me. Back up your data and then take it in or call Apple.

  • Can a Apple Center change the hard disk for me?

    I have a mid-2011 Mac Mini that has been upgraded to 8GB of RAM. The thing is, I now want to change the hard drive to a WD Scorpio Black to yield faster loading speeds, but I don't want to mangle around inside the Mac Mini on my own after watching the DIY video. Furthermore, I don't trust Hitachi-brand drives.
    Can I buy said hard disk, and then have an Apple Center do the upgrade for me?

    Noted. Thanks for the reply
    The main reason I want to do this is because I want a faster drive really. Having upgraded to 8GB of RAM, I now notice that the main bottleneck on the Mac Mini is due to the drive being clocked at 5400rpm. The WD Black is a 7800rpm drive with more cache memory, which I expect should reduce the bottleneck quite considerably.

  • What is the best way to re-install my apps data when changing the hard disk

    My MacBook (120Gb disk) is finally full and I have ordered a 500Gb disk to replace it.
    I am fine with changing over the disk but can anyone tell me the best way to reload all my apps and data from the present disk please?
    I have a Time Machine backup on a Network disk, a copy of SuperDuper and also my original 10.5 OSX install disks.
    Thanks

    Roger, since you have SuperDuper, I think the easiest thing to do would be to make a clone of your current hard drive to the new one when it arrives. You will need an external enclosure for the new drive; make sure it's formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Disk Utility will do this for you. Then connect that new drive via firewire or USB, and create the clone from your current drive using SuperDuper. Next, remove the internal drive from your Mac, insert the new drive and boot up. You can then place your older drive in the external enclosure to use for extra storage, though it won't be large enough to use as a cloned backup with SuperDuper.
    Good luck!

  • How to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition when changing the hard disk drive

    I've got T61 and I'd like to know if is it possible (in case of changing the HDD) to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition  on the new hard disk drive? If yes - please let me know how to do that.

    hi you the rescue partition is made automatically when you use your recovery cd's on the new HDD so no problem there!

  • Mountain Lion has broke the hard disk

    I have a Macbook Pro 13' (Mid 2010) with LION which has always worked very properly.
    -Wednesday 25th
    On Wednesday 25th I've bought (16€) and instald Mac OS X Mountain Lion. The laptop seems too slow for me but I didn't mind at that moment, before going to sleep I shutted down the macbook pro.
    -Thursday 26th
    The next day, when I tried to turn on, it stayed at the white screen with the apple and thinking. I tried it for several times, and at one of them after 10 minutes the os started but it worked incredibly slow (It was imposible to shut down it normaly). I called to apple care, they told me to enter in recovery mode and verify the disk. I do it and all was ok. I restarted and as before the mac didn't started or at least started and worked very slow.
    -Friday 27th
    I tried to turn on the laptop with the recovery mode, but I had no response of the macbook pro,it stayed with the white screen. I called again to apple care and after some times I could enter to the recovery mode, but this time the were important errors at verifing the disk and it was impossible to fix it.
    So I went to apple premium reseller near to my home. They found all the hardware ok with their test but they told me to open the laptop and change the hard disk (paying 200€) to solve the problem. I sayed thank you very much and I took a quote at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store for the afternoon. They found all the hardware ok again but they weren't able to fix the problem by this moment. So they told my to leave the computer and they would reinstall mountain lion from 0, without any cost.
    After 3 hours I've recevied a call from the Apple Store telling my that the hard disk was broken and I've to pay for a new one (150€).
    They are not taking into account that the laptop was ok and by installing the new OS and making all the test and restarts that they told me to do are the cause of hard disk's rupture.
    What can I do? What do you recomend to me?
    Thank you very much.
    P.S. : I've always loved my Macbook Pro and I haven't had any problem with it or with Apple, all have worked perfect until this moment and know I feel helpless.

  • Make it easier to change the hard drive

    Apple,
    Please. Please. Please.
    Make it easier to change the hard disk in future iMac's. They break. They need to be upgraded.
    My HD was dying. So I called the local Apple store. My iMac is under warranty. But they said it would take several days (with no specificity) to fix.
    I couldn't be without a computer for hours, never mind an undefined number of days. So I replaced the HD myself. It took 45 minutes. Not counting a trip to the hardware store to buy the right torx set.
    Is it really to much to ask to put the drive in a bay? SATA disk drives are ridiculously easy to replace if one has access to it. On a PC it takes 5 - 10 minutes. Even on a MacBook pro it takes less than 10 minutes.
    MAKE THESE THINGS SERVICEABLE. There is no mystery in changing a disk drive. That is so 1980.

    Thanks for the help
    I started on the installation CD OS X 10.4.2, I used Disk Utility
    to partition the disk according to the document that you have proposed. unfortunately
    I have not succeeded. When I partition the disk, even if I called it Macintosh HD, it
    does not keep the name and it shows disk0s3 instead. I did an erase on disk.
    When I mount the disk it tells me that I must repair. When I tried to repair, I got
    the following message:
    Volume check failed
    The underflying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
    I also had a message:
    Invalid b-tree node size.
    Note: The disc is new, but it has already been formatted on a computer Imac 27 inch 2011 OS X Lion.
          I used a USB 2.0 to SATA cable to adjust the formatting.

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

  • Changing the scratch disk to hard drive

    Hello, I've read the forums on here on how to change the scratch disk. I have a Mac Book Pro and I've downloaded the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CC. I brought a Seagate Hard drive 4TB and it's installed and ready to go on my computer, but for some reason I still can't change it. Whenever I go to the Scratch Disk Preferences, the only option I have to change the scratch disk to, is to the Macintosh HD... What am I doing wrong? I don't have enough memory with the regular Mac.
    Also, I tried the Command + Alt(option) right on cold starting the program, which brings up scratch disk preferences and, still, I do not get the option of changing it to the Back Up drive from Seagate. Help please.

    how did you install the HD

    Hi Jake,
    "Enable Data Execution Protection (DEP) in the BIOS and make sure the Format of drive file system is not fat32.
    1. Uninstall Intel Active System Monitor 3.0, if installed.
    2. Disable "Intel IPMI Service" and "Intel Monitoring Agent" Service.
    3. Open regedit and locate: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\imbdrv.
    4. Change the Start Key to 4 (Disabled).
    5. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E97D-E325-11CE-BFC1-0 8002BE10318}.
    6. Take ownership of the ‘Properties’ key.
    7. Give yourself full permission for this key.
    8. Now locate the properties key; if you see a ‘Security’ entry there, that is your problem. Delete this key.
    9. Try attaching or adding the VHD again after rebooting.
    If above steps did not help, add the Network Service account to Local Administrator group."

  • Replacing the hard  disk on an iBook G3 (700 Dual USB)

    Hi
    I'm kind of regarded as the guy to go and see when anything goes wrong with a Mac, here in Athens, Greece. But I have very little hardware experience with laptops. A friend of mine just brought me her iBook G3 (700 Dual USB), running Panther 10.3.9 to check out. She was getting the initial start up screen (grey Apple, spinning wheel) and once in every ten times or more actually getting into her hard disk. Anyway after a bunch of tests I narrowed the problem down to the hard disk (40 gig, I think). The disc is basically presenting all the symptoms of a damaged disc. I can not even wipe and reinstall on it. When I start up from the Panther system CD, it runs normally, up to the point where I tell it to install, it goes to the next screen where you choose your destination disc, and shows, nothing! Disk Utility on the install disc sees the hard disk and identifies it as an IBM, but the single partition with Panther installed is greyed out. I tells me that the disk can't be wiped because of an ERROR -20. I also tried mounting it on my G4 as a firewire external, and in fact managed to rescue the data, (though it took an hour to transfer 250 kb of data). I even tried to wipe it in my own machine as an external disc, but again the same problem. Strangely enough Disk Utility says the disc does not need repair.
    Anyway, I decided to change the disk and be done with it. But as I say I have very little hardware experience with laptops, and the Apple support pages don't have any documents that show the internal workings of the iBook, except for how to change memory and install Airport cards. Aside from the fact that I still have to figure out where to find a new disc for the machine, I don't really want to open it up until I can check some instructions.
    Can anyone give me a clue how you get inside these machines? I have a Powerbook G4 manual which does shows how to open it up and change the HD, but I'm not sure how similar these two models are internally.
    So I'd appreciate any clue as to the procedure for opening these babies up. Thanks in advance.

    It's not an easy thing to do. Arm yourself with a tiny screwdriver and loads of patience:

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

  • I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7

    I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7, after restart windows I saw that there is not any OS X for selecting by press and hold "Option" key.
    I don't have any backup and the original DVD from the seller. I live in Iran and here there is no any Apple seller or supporting center.
    What should I do to have OS X again ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You probably erased the hard drive by doing that. If you have got a Mid 2010 or later iMac, you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting.
    Then, open Disk Utility, choose your hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If you have got an older Mac, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • More than 1200 bad blocks do I need to change my Hard Disk

    Thanks for your help

    What software and version did you use to determine you had 1200+ bad blocks?
    Was it compatible with Lion?
    Run the scan again and take a screen shot of the results and make sure to save it to a external media and disconnect it, you will need this to perform a warranty call and have the drive replaced.
    After you have backed up your files to a external storage drive and disconnected it.
    Hold Command r upon rebooting and enter the Lion Recovery Partition and run Disk Utility, see if the drive needs repair. I suspect it does. Check the smart status too.
    Follow the
    Restoring OS X 10.7 (new drive, total reformat method)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    Also make a clone of your OS X Lion Partition on a external drive, this way your prepared if the drive dies, you can option boot off the clone. If you get a new drive you have a copy of Lion Recovery on the USB.
    It's highly unusual for a drive to have 1200+ bad blocks, the Zero Erase Free Space will confirm it as it's going to use up all your spare blocks.
    The drive will likely brick, which you then can option boot off the clone.
    Schedule a Apple warranty/AppleCare call if your under it, or order a new drive online from OtherWorld Computing "kits", iFixit for videos or other Mac places online.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    You can read my link provided how to format the drive.
    However if your Zero Erase Free Space turns out fine, then I suspect the software you used or perhaps something else is wrong with your OS X not correctly reporting your drives data characteristics correctly.
    You could be spared a costly repair if that's the case.
    Good Luck.
