Comprehensive Fusion hard drive test - are there any.

is there any software to do a comprehensive test on my fusion hard drive.
I have a new imac and I swear, i hear a beep sometimes while accessing data.
I ran disk utility and it was OK.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

    I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!  I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!

    I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
    I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>.  It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

    Sure.
    If your hard drive is still physically working, simply restore it from your computer's backup.

    Check item #18 of Time Machine FAQ, particularly the material in #3 of the "How to" section.

  • Hard drive crashed- is there any way to burn songs from an ipod?

    hi mac geniuses. my HD crashed. there is a pearl jam concert that i downloaded from their website after i went to the concert. the concert is not available for download any longer. is there any way to burn songs or transfer songs from an ipod so i don't lose this music?? as soon as i plug in my ipod to my 'new' computer, it will be wiped. thanks!

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files (purchased and non purchased) and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • If my hard drive fails, is there any way to get the OS with out having to download it?

    My old white macbook gave up the ghost and my hd just went out.  I was wondering if there was a way to get a disk for OSX 10.7.5.  Also if Apple has some sort of program where I won't have to pay for it as it is a hardware failure that got me into this mess.  
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    In the past, Apple sold OS X Lion on a USB drive, but now it's no more available. The only option to get OS X Lion is to download it from Apple pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting.
    However, as you have a MacBook, the Mac should came with DVDs to reinstall Mac OS X, so use them

  • HT1329 My large iTunes library is on an external hard drive. Can I set up iTunes on my new Macbook Pro and copy the library to it or are there any pitfalls?

    I have my large iTunes library on an external hard drive. Can I set up ITunes on my new Macbook Pro and transfer/copy this library to the internal hard drive or are there any problems I should be aware of?

    ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.

    You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
    The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
    With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine.

  • Are there any problems with un-compressing a drive?

    Bottman wrote:
    The only issue that I can think of is if the compressed files are then larger than the available space on the drive.
    If you're worried about this, you could uncompress a block of files at a time.
    The drive is currently 67% free.  I don't know what the compression ratio is but it probably wouldn't cause an issue with drive space.

    I have a very important 2TB logical disk (NTFS, Basic, not the system disk) attached to a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine.  Write performance has been very slow with large files and I realized that "Compress this drive to save disk space" is checked for the whole drive.  Are there any issues with disabling this feature?  It's easy enough to enable but I don't know what happens when I disable it.

  • Software based hard drive tests?

    Is there a software based hard drive tester out there? I have no idea how to test my now 7 year old hard drive on my MDD,just wondering if there are software based solutions as well as hardware,and where to get them,thanks!

    Excellent,thank you,just one more question,can the power supply be tested the same way,with software?Or am I stuck using a power supply tester,which I dont currently have(a link to a decent one would be nice,if I cant do this with software,that is).Again thanks for this,as I totally forgot which ones were the best :)Oh,and BTW,japamac,I just joined the Quicksilver club(if one exists )and found your blog an excellent resource for deciding on which one to get,as well as which upgrade parts to use.Recieving one this week,with an Radion 9800Pro card.Alraedy have a Firmtec card and am using a 1TB Hitachi jupiter series hard drive.The Quicksilver is a DP 800,and I'm running Leopard.I for one just want to take this time to thank you for all the help you have been to me and everyone who loves their Power PC G4's!!

  • I have upgraded to Lion Os but my Network storage (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work with Time Machine.  Are there any solution available?

    I have upgraded to Lion  OS only to find that my NAS (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work.  It tells me that it is not configured.  Are there any solutions .  Have Iomega sorted out the problem?

    Same issue here.  Based on what I can tell, iomega still has not developed a solution to the problem.  See below:

  • Are there any 500GB or 1TB 7mm hard drives?

    Ironically, I'm finding that one of the reasons to spluge on a Samsung 830 or Intel 320 SSD is that they offer 512GB, for $1,000 yes, but I haven't yet seen a nice, cheap, spinning platter HDD that offers more than 320GB in the 7mm height.
    So, are there any copious, 1TB or 500GB hard drives that will fit inside the Thinkpad X220?

    Not a lot of experience yet, but my Twist came with a 7mm 500GB 7200RPM Hitachi: Z7K500-500.  I've since purchased another one for experimentation.  So far so good.

  • HT5622 My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?

    My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?
    After holding down the Select and Play/Pause button, I was able to restart the Ipod and then it brought me to a Diagnositc test. I have tried doing both the Mannual and Annual test on the ipod however in each test, the ipod freezes on different access tests. The HP (headphones) test, shows the headphones are detected, but then if it tries to play a song to make sure they work it freezes and goes back to the red cross. I have looked at various other questions regarding the FW cable, however I don't believe i have such a cabel. Then the Hard Drive test freezes up and I can hear a ticking noise coming from the drive but it doesnt seem to be spinning. Alongside these test issues, any computer cannot see the Ipod when plugged in (including itunes). Therefore some tests for the USB drive cannot be completed. I do not recall dropping it badly, though I have dropped it previously. Does all this mean there is damage to the drive? Should I instead take it to an apple store?
    Many Thanks

    The stats look fine. Try the DFU Restore method shown in Corrupt iPod classic. It may pay to disable any anti-virus software and use the staged transfer method to reload data, assuming you get that far.
