  • Disk monitoring options for firewire connected hard drives

    I recently connected a 750 gig Western Digital hard drive to my Mac via Firewire. I just learned that Disk Utility's S.M.A.R.T. capability will not monitor hard drives connected via Firewire or USB.
    Does anyone have suggestions on 3rd party applications that might give me some piece of mind that the disk is in good health?
    Thank you!

    Hi David,
    most (if not all) FireWire and/or USB connected external HDs don't report any kind of S.M.A.R.T. status. Even if they do, OSX has not implemented them.
    See here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring%2CAnalysis%2C_and_ReportingTechnology
    Even the third-party tools like SmartReporter or smartmontools can't get informations from FW/USB-HDs.
    Only eSATA connected external HDs are supported.
    Sorry
    Stefan

  • Backing Up & Cloning Strategy for Fusion 3tb Hard Drive

    Hello.  Mac Newbie Here.  My first  iMac is being delivered this week, and in advance of delivery I am thinking and planning a back up plan to instigate right from the outset.
    Can I ask all of you if the following plan is a doable, robust strategy, or any other suggestions/reccomendations please?
    Also to add into the mix, I am also planning on having Windows running on a Bootcamped partition, so below I have accounted and included the back up plan I have for that partition too.
    Here's my plan - your thoughts really appreciated
    1: USB SYSTEM RESTORE:  Planning to make a USB OS Restore flash drive as soon as I can after first boot.
    2 -TIME MACHINE,  I have bought a 3TB USB3 drive to run as a time machine drive from day 1.  Although my internal drive, if you include the SSD element, is just a little over 3TB I don't plan on filling it anytime soon, so figured a 3TB drive would do for a while.
    3: SUPER DUPER or CC CLONER.  Planning to use one of these apps to make fortnightly clones of my entire Fusion Drive.  Plan to re-format and use an older USB3 or USB2 External drive I have until I can find the cash to buy a new one.  Also planning to do my first clone before attempting to BOOTCAMP the drive and install windows - in case that turns out to be a big fat fail.
    4: WINDOWS on BootCamp Back Up Plan.  Not so critical this for me, as only using it for legacy purposes, games, and as a bit of a 'Mac Newbie Comfort Blanket' and planning to run the default built in Windows 7 Back Up programme monthly onto an old USB 2 drive that I have
    That's it - does this make sense?  Am I doing somethign wrong?  Am I reasonably protecting my system and files with this plan?

  • When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.

    When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.  I have ensured that Time Machine is turned off.  Upon some Google research, some who reported this problem were told to delete the folder backup.backupdb, but I do not have this folder on my Mac.  Any suggestions?

    The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
    If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

  • I used up my two downloads for my standard CS5 suite, my backed up program on my external hard drive isn't working. My serial number says it is invalid, what do I do?

    I purchased the standard CS5 suite (photoshop, illustrator, in design, bridge) student package for my laptop (through a download process, not dvd, in which I had two downloads). I used my first one, that followed with my hard drive crashing. I used my second download, and then I had an accident with my laptop and had to purchase a new one. I backed up all of my programs onto an external hard drive and I just tried to re download adobe programs using that. When i enter my serial number it says it is invalid. What can I do? Live chat will not help me because I do not have the current CS6 or CC.

    Double-check your serial number here: Find your serial number quickly
    Serial numbers will sometimes become invalidated if they were hacked and made available on the internet.

  • My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up.  I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order.  What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

    My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up.  I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order.  What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Each version is independent and stands alone. You only need to retain those which programs require. Java programs can be written to require a specific version. If after uninstalling a version, a Java program will not run, that is probably the cause.

  • Time Machine for Macmini second hard drive to networked storage

    I just got a Mac mini with OSX 10.6.5 Server and am a novice OSX Server user.
    I want to backup both the primary hard drive and the second hard drive using Time Machine to a networked file server.
    When I go to the setup for Time Machine on the Mac Mini, it allows me to backup the primary HD but doesn't give me an option to do the same for the second hard drive.
    Is there a workaround for this?

    You may want to use an additional backup method as well, since Time Machine doesn't back EVERYTHING up on a server.

  • So I formatted a brand new hard drive to MAC OS (Journal), I then could save on the hard drive. Not two days later Im back at square one, the program wont recognize the hard drive again.

    So, hard to beleive, but I am having some trouble with Final Cut Pro X.
    This last week I formatted a brand new hard drive to MAC OS (Journal),
    so that I could save on that hard drive.
    Well it went great.
    I saved my project on there and copied a few others over as to free up space on my Laptop.
    Then, not two days later Im back at square one,
    the program wont recognize the hard drive.
    It wont even open the events up off my hard drive,
    as to jog the program into reqcognizing the scratch disk (which worked twice before).
    What happened?
    How do I get the program to re-recongize my newly formatted hard drive?
    Please help!

    The name of the drive, or the name of some folders inside the drive, may fool FCP X into believing it is a camera.
    Also, you should not use the drive for time machine backups.

  • Time Machine - hard drive failed, isn't recognized by Finder

    Hi,
    Yesterday I went to plug in my Time Machine external hard drive to my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010, running Mountain Lion 10.8.2).  The hard drive is a 320 GB Toshiba hard drive that I salvaged from an old laptop.  The EHD is in a Kingston enclosure and connects to my Mac through USB (1 cord for everything).  I have been using this setup for probably about a year at least.
    Anyways, when I plugged it in yesterday, it did not show up in Finder.  The blue light on the outside of the enclosure was still lit, and I could hear the hard drive spinning normally.  I tried a couple other USB cables, but to no avail.  The USB ports work with other things (e.g. my flash drive).  I turned off Time Machine, and restarted my computer several times.  Nothing worked.
    I went into Disk Utility, and noticed that the hard drive itself appears, but the Time Machine partition is greyed out right underneath it.  DU says on the bottom that the Time Machine is Not Mounted, and gives the format (Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)) and the capacity (320 gb).
    When I try to eject through DU, it gives me this message:
    The disk “Time Machine” could not be unmounted.
    Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk.
    BUT, it isn't even mounted!
    I figured that I would just try to erase the hard drive, since it's only a time machine backup.  Nope!  It hanged right at the very beginning trying to unmount the disk that isn't even mounted.
    I've looked on Google and on these boards and haven't found anything that could help me...so...
    Help?
    Thanks!

    No luck.
    I clicked on the hard drive itself (Kingston 320 GB) and clicked "Erase".  I waited about an hour with the only activity being a striped bar at the bottom of DU saying "Unmounting". 
    So I tried just erasing the Time Machine partition.  I immediately got this message (or something along the lines of it):  "Disk Utility cannot erase the disk.  Cannot open disk."
    I tried mounting and unmounting the time machine partition, but would get messages saying that the disk cannot be unmounted, and that the disk cannot be mounted.  Rather contradictory!
    I tried ejecting the hard drive through DU by clicking the "Eject" button, but it said it could not eject the disk because it was in use, or something along the lines of that.
    Any other advice?

  • Move program file to external hard drive?

    Good morning group,
    I am currently working with my 2002 PowerBook G4 12", 867MHz, 40GB, 1.25 RAM, running Tiger OSX 10.4
    I recenly purchased a Leopard 10.5 install disc and want to reboot my laptop to Leopard.  I also purchased Microsoft Office 2008 suite, but cannot find my install disc.
    My goal is to transfer data like my ITunes library, documents and Office program to an external hard drive, delete any remaining content from the laptop hard drive, then install Leopard onto the laptop and re-install the data and programs from the external drive.
    Since i am reasonably intelligent but not overly computer savvy, this seems like a doable event. My question is how do I accomplish this task?   i guess that I am looking for a step-by-step assistance, but do not want anyone to reinvent the wheel; prior to this post, I attempted to search this forum for a solution, but to no avail.  Any assistance would be appreciated. As it currently stands, I cannot even use my IPhone with this computer due to Tiger program limitations, and I do not want to lose Office.
    Thanks in advance, Chardagha

    Get your new hard drive and mount it in a housing that connects to your PB with a Firewire cable. When an external HD is connected via Firewire it is bootable from your PowerBook.
    After you connect the external HD, use Disk Utility on your PB to format the HD to Journaled HFS+. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner app to clone your PB HD to the external HD. Then boot the external HD to make sure everything transfered OK. Then you can wipe the PB's HD and install Leopard on it. Then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer your files from the external HD to the PB HD
    In lieu of M$ Office you can use the freeware NeoOffice. http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
    NeoOffice is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.

  • Solutions for lots of hard drive space?

    Yes, this is a repost from my thread in the getting started forum, but I figured that this board is more heavily populated, and perhaps some professional videographers visit here more frequently to help me out, so I'm posting my question here as well. Here I go:
    Hello,
    Next spring and summer, I plan to be shooting and editing weddings. The past weddings I've done, I use about 12 tapes. ~200mb/min x 60 mins x 12 tapes is about 144GB. That's about 3 weddings in a single 500GB hard drive (and I plan on doing about 20 in a year). Obviously, I'm going to need a LOT of hard drive space. I don't want to consider entirely deleting the media after finishing a project because it seems common that clients wish to change little bits of the video, so I want to keep them for a while longer.
    Right now I have a 500GB HD in a firewire400 enclosure. I don't use the internal Mac HD for media.
    What a photographer said that others wedding videographers do and suggested to me was to buy as many HD's needed for the year (approx. so I guess about 7 if 500GB), set a deadline for those whiny clients for returns or re-edits and such, and at the end of the year, and reformat them all and reuse them for the next year.
    I'm thinking of doing the same, but using the same enclosure for all my hard drives, just unplugging and plugging as needed.
    I've heard of using a RAID system. I can't say I know much about using it but with what I'm using, I don't think it's an option? I am using a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro and I plan on getting an aluminum 24" iMac (probably 2.4ghz unless you can convince me otherwise) as a secondary editing machine, and perhaps to make the dreadful capturing process twice as fast.
    So some of my questions are:
    * can plugging and unplugging HD's to an external closure possibly damage the pins?
    * would storing HD's that are not being used at the moment be safe in those plastic containers that usually come with a HD when you buy one? Or would it be damaging to keep one in there and store it away for a year?
    * is this idea okay or would you suggest another method?
    * slightly off-topic but sometimes I take my external hard drive, put it in my laptop bag, and do some editing at another location. I know it's supposed to be portable but someone told me that external hard drives aren't meant to be taken around like that. Is that true or am I okay? It's just sitting sideways in the bag while I walk/drive, it's not like I'm hiking a mountain and dropping my bag.
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    - I wonder if enclosure manufacturers do special orders of JUST the enclosure without the cables and power adapter? Since I'll likely be buying the same one but plugging one at a time...(maybe one other for another computer)
    Not sure if they will or not. Of course, IMO, it is not bad to have an extra Power Adapter and cables (or more), just in case. You would be suprised how things can get misplaced or when you really would like another FW or eSATA cable. You can call some of these places and ask, it nevers hurts. I have had very good experiences with Firewiredirect, OWC/MacSales and Wiebetech, probably worth a customer service IM window with them or call or email. Worst they can say it is not possible.
    - Alternatively the Wiebtech SilverSata I enclosure seems pretty convenient and maybe I'll expand it with 6-8 additional trays...but again I may want to use another HD in another computer but I'm sure I can figure a way around that...
    If you get a G5 or MacIntel they all use the same drives so if you remove it from a tray you can put it in the computer. I like the SilverSata I because it is relatively small and light and I will often throw a 750gig Drive into a tray when traveling to have a place to capture things and keep copies of photo downloads, audio files for Soundtrack and other files which take up room and a partition for a boot/repair/restore disk for the laptop.

  • Can I clone my Time Machine hard drive, to another HD, and store Off Site?

    Good day All, I love my new Macbook, but am trying to come up with a foolproof method of backing up all my data, documents, and business.
    I have become very nervous about BACKUPS, and want to have an OFF-SITE week old backup done on a external Hard Drive?
    I presently have a 200 gig Time Machine backup/archive, and have a daily clone with Super Duper & Carbon Copy Clone. However these hard drives are at home, so should the building burn down, or should we get broken into, there goes my business and digital life.
    My thought is to buy an external hard drive and clone my current Time Machine hard drive to the external on a weekly basis, and store it off-site or at a friends house.
    Would I be able to do a clone of my TM HD archive, and have it still useable / bootable / recoverable should a tragedy happen?
    I would like to upload it all up to Mozy, or BackBlaze, or similar offering, but 200 gig is way too big.
    Is anybody cloning a Time Machine hard drive and able to restore from it?
    Thanks for reading my post, and am lookin forward to all of your comments, IAN...

    Hi Ian,
    Sorry I missed the discussion last night. I'll tell you how I'm accomplishing the backup task and you can let me know if this is what you're trying to do.
    I now have 2 external HDs. A 1TB Seagate and a 250 GB LaCie. The LaCie used to be my TM backup drive, but it was the same size as my internal iMac drive. I knew I'd eventually need a bigger drive so I bought the 1TB Seagate yesterday and cloned the LaCie drive onto it using SuperDuper. The only thing on the LaCie drive was TM backups. Now the TM backup are on the Seagate. I unmounted the old TM drive and changed the name of the new drive to "Time Machine". I activated TM and it picked right up where it left off. I did test it by restoring an old file. I also changed a current file and made sure TM was still operating as advertised. Everything worked as expected.
    Now I simply used the 250 GB drive to clone my system HD using CCC. It is a bootable backup and can be used to run the system should my internal drive become unusable. I will update this drive once a month with any changes to the system drive using CCC and keep it off-site in a safe deposit box in the meantime. Using this methodology, I don't see why you'd want to swap the drives weekly/monthly. Just let TM run on the large drive and keep the other drive as current as you like. I've decided monthly is good for me. I'm mostly worried about photos, but I keep them on the camera longer than a month, so there's my cover for the month.

  • Is it time for a new hard drive?

    My iMac early 2008 has been running extremely slow even after i reduced 320 gb hard drive so it only has about 150 gigs occupied now. 2 GB memory.  I just ran Disk Utility and it said it "stopped verifiying MacIntosh HD. This disk needs to be repaired. Start your computer with another disk." I haven't done that yet. I have everything backed up on Time Machine to an external hard drive. A friend says the HD is going bad and needs to be replaced. Is that right? All advice greatly appreciated.

    From the given information I'd find a more knowledgable friend. The first thing you need to do is repair your drive:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If the above indicates the drive is OK after repairs are completed, then you can focus on some maintenance to help improve performance:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
