Disk Warrior 3.0.3 upgrade possible on a hard disk copy?

Hi, Folks,
A question for people who have upgraded their Disk Warrior using the downloadable 3.0.3 updater.
I have a Disk Warrior upgrade problem. My original CD (which is upgradeable) has scratches and will not read during the process (which, as you know, makes a disk image of the original disk, runs the updater on the disk image, then burns the disk image to a new CD). So the process stops.
What I'd like to do is upgrade the hard disk installed DW application.
I have checked the Alsoft Web site, but have not contacted their tech support, and googled and checked other Mac forums, with no mention of this -- except Alsoft saying that if you want your HD copy upgraded, do the new CD first and copy the upgraded DW to your HD.
Bummer.
TIA,
M<

Well, contact Allsoft and explain your issue. perhaps you can get the update by verifying your serial number.

Thinking about upgrading my Powerbook G4 hard disk to 160GB

I am thinking about upgrading my powerbook G4 hard disk to 160GB, or even larger if possible...
I have checked the macsales.com website and found this seagate 160GB, is it a good choice? Can anyone suggest a better deal or a better choice...?
but I also notice one thing... it says that any powerbook model prior to 2003 might not support the any hard disk over 120G....
So I am wondering is my powerbook G4 15inch 1.25GHz SuperDrive model able to have a 160GB hard drive...?
Thanks a lot!!!!!

The 1.25Ghz Powerbook came out in fall 2003, so if what MacSales says is true, then it should work.

Is solaris 8 to solaris 10 upgrade possible

Hello,
I read on a post not on Sun that you have to upgrade to solaris 9 from 8 before upgrading to 10. Is that true? I do not know if I am doing a live upgrade so consider this question apart from live upgrade.
Thank you

What do you mean by your statement "and then if it works then place the new layout onto the primary disk and recreate the mirrors.". Do you mean physically put the second disk in the primary disk slot and a new disk in the second slot and build mirrors?
No. To perform a LiveUpgrade while replacing disks, you'd do these steps:
- Break the mirrors on the secondary disk, and remove any meta-databases stored there
- Replace the secondary disk physically with the new one
- Partition the secondary disk with your new desired slice layout
- Run LiveUpgrade and install the new OS and filesystems onto the secondary disk
- Reboot and test the new OS
- If everything goes well, then add your meta-database copies to the secondary disk
- Remove the old boot environment (BE)
- Remove mirrors from the primary disk
- Remove the meta-databases from the primary disk
- Physically replace the primary disk
- Copy the partition table from your secondary disk to the primary disk
- Recreate all mirrors
- Setup the root device for booting, and test that as well.
It's a lot of steps, but it should be straight-forward and it's documented quite well in the LiveUpgrade manuals.

What is the maximum ram upgrade possible on a Mid 2011 iMac 21.5-inch

I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 running OS X 10.9.5 which currently has 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. The Hard Drive has 149.87 GB free out of 499.25 GB. It has been running slow for a while now. I would like to know what is the "TRUE" maximum Ram Upgrade possible. The reason I say "TRUE" is because the specs say one things when I find others saying another. I would like to install the maximum Ram that will increase the speed to its optimum. I have read some information that this particular computer will not take advantage of anything past a certain amount of ram.
So with all that said, I am asking for specific numbers, types of ram, suggestions etc etc...
Thanks

Here's what you can do and need:
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Sources for memory I recommend are:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com

Is a hard drive upgrade possible for an old Powerbook G4?

I just recently got a Powerbook G4 400 (the first version, I think). It only has a 10 GB hard drive and 256K memory. I would like to know if it is possible, or worthwile to buy a newer, bigger hard drive, memory and a new OS. If so, can anyone give me ideas about what to look for, models, etc...???
I am completely lost so thanks for any help!

It is possible to upgrade your RAM and hard drive and install a fairly recent version of OS X on your Powerbook, but I wouldn't call it worthwhile. You'll spend as much or more doing so as the machine is worth afterward.
Your machine is now over nine and a half years old (it was released in January 2001). It has a DVD-ROM drive, so it can't burn CDs or DVDs unless you replace that drive, and its non-upgradeable graphics processor is completely obsolete for any sort of multimedia or streaming video on today's websites, or for gaming. Its CPU, blazing fast for a notebook of its time, is ten to forty times slower than the ones in today's Macs.
The most recent OS X version you should consider is Tiger (10.4.x). To install it, you would have to replace your hard drive and you'd want to add RAM. A new 80GB or 120GB hard drive (you can't use one larger than 120GB in that machine without third-party commercial software and a lot of caveats) will cost $60-$75. 512MB of RAM would cost $35-50 and 1GB would cost $55-80. The kicker is that even a decent used copy of the retail Tiger installer DVD is likely to cost over $100. So at a minimum, you'd be putting $200 into a machine that right now isn't worth that much, and wouldn't be worth any more than that afterward. If you're OK with that, go ahead, but don't expect that the result is going to resemble the experience of getting a new Mac in 2010.

Upgrading the 60 GB Hard Disk

Now that Apple is offering up to 200 GB hard disks in the MacBook, I wonder if I can upgrade my 60 GB MacBook drive. Previously I was told (Apple Store) that 60 GB was the largest hard drive I could use in my MacBook.

would you say that it is better to buy a 200 or 250GB HDD by my self und keep the original 120GB as a external instead of upgarde from 120 to 200GB for approx. 130 Euro if I buy the MacBook ??
I would buy the 250 GB because it is a 5400 RPM drive. The 200 GB Apple offers is 4200 RPM. I would not upgrade at apple. I would buy the stock MacBook and then later you can upgrade the drive and the RAM yourself.
These are very good instructions on How to Upgrade Your MacBook's Hard Drive. The apple instruction linked to by Kappy are good but they left out the Torx # 8 needed that Michael mentions.

Upgrading 12" Powerbook G4 hard drive & OS X 10.5--please help?

So, I’ve decided I want to venture into upgrading my Powerbook G4 hard drive, RAM, and OS. Currently I have:
512 RAM
1.5 Ghz
80 GB 5400 HD
Mac OS X 10.4.11
What I would like to upgrade to:
1.25GB RAM (max)
1.5 Ghz
160-320GB 5400 (7200 if possible) HD
Mac OS X 10.5
Now here comes my questions. The RAM upgrade is straightforward. The HD upgrade seems simple enough when using tutorials on ifixit.com. I am wondering though, does the HD need to be ATA-100 or could it be ATA-133? Are DMA, Ultra DMA, UDMA, DMA-100, ATA, ATA-100, IDE, and EIDE all the same thing and all compatible with the 12" powerbook G4?
Assuming the hard drive speed is 5400 and I have RAM maxed out, are there performance differences between say a 160GB 5400 HD and a 320GB 5400 HD? Would it be better just to get the biggest HD that is compatible with my PB?
Also, FRYS.COM has "retail hard drive kits" and "bare HDs" What’s the difference between the two?
Finally:
Once I figure out which HD I want, I will have new: Hard Drive, RAM, and a Mac OS X 10.5 DVD Purchased from an Apple Store. I will install the RAM. Now I will be left with a HD and OSX 10.5 DVD...how do I get the new OS on the new HD?

The hard drive needs to be a parallel ATA 2.5" notebook hard drive. ATA-100 or ATA-133 or the others you listed don't matter. You cannot use a serial ATA or SATA hard drive, that's important. Here are two online stores and their parallel ATA drives available: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150380%201035907 889&name=ATA-6 and http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on 2.5" ATA laptop drives).
You'll note there aren't any 7200rpm drives listed, as they aren't made anymore for the parallel ATA interface. Choose whatever size works for you, and if increasing the size, make sure you have capacity to backup the new, larger hard drive, as you fill it up.
You only need the bare hard drive. There can be a difference between a retail boxed version versus OEM, as the warranty can be different, but that's about it.
After you install the hard drive, you insert the first OS X disk in the system, boot holding the C key down (so the system boots from the disk), choose Disk Utility from the menu bar, and partition the drive. Once done, you can do the OS X installation. If you don't hold the C key down and the system wants to install OS X, after you tell it what language you want, as soon as a menu bar appears, then you can run Disk Utility.

The disk copy of "File_Name" was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?

When saving a Photoshop CS6 file I am suddenly getting this message: "The disk copy of “File Name” was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?" I am not connected to a network and I had not downloaded any new software when it started. How do I fix this? and will this cause any file corruption? -Thanks

Chris, thanks. Yes, I realize that something outside of Photoshop is modifying the file but how do I find out what is causing it or how do I stop it? I had not added any new software or upgraded anything when this started and I have never had this problem before. I don't use any font managers. I do have a virus barrier but, as I've said, I have had this software for awhile and can't imagine why all of a sudden it would be interfering with my file. I spoke with Apple to see if the problem might be on their side but they seem to think my Mac is running fine. My biggest concern is will this cause my file to become corrupt? Before closing out yesterday, I created a new document and copied everything from this file over into the new document and renamed it in the hopes that it may help... Maybe something was wrong with that original document. Not sure that will work but will find out today. Also, I haven't worked on any other files since this started. So, I'm not sure yet if this is happening to this file only or if it may happen to future files. -Thanks

Your disk copy of image was changed since last opened or saved (Mac OS)

I am occasionally getting a message that "the disk copy of image was changed since the file was last opened or saved". The OS is 10.6.6 and I am using CS5. It happens on no specific file. All of my files are pretty big. The current one that this is happening on is a psb that is 3.26 G unflattened. I have from ignorance always ignored the message and saved anyway. I have never detected any damage or discernible changes to the files after ignoring the warning, but after searching Adobe forum and reading a thread about this happening in CS4, I guess I should be more cautious and do a save as and change the file name. I started this thread because no one has reported the issue happening in CS5.
The files were all given to me by ftp as either psd, tiff or camera raw files. I work on duplicates of the originals in no other program but photoshop and opened and closed the files a few times before getting the message about the disk copy being changed. All of my files are saved to an internal harddrive and backed up on a time capsule device. I am on a network, but am the sole user of the network. The files are worked on and saved to an internal hard drive on the same computer. They are never opened on another computer which is usually turned off. I am running no virus protection software except what ever is native to the OS. The only other applications I am running when getting this message are safari, mail and sometimes bridge.
Why am I getting this message and what is causing changes (that I can't detect) to the disk copy?

Really, damn
I wonder what it can be. I'm 100% sure its nothing running in the background changing the files in my workflow.
I checked everything and its funny because it is the same on 3 Mac Pro here ???
So it must be a bug some where in Adobe's files/apps/etc
Some combination of files, setup or what ever making the error come up.
I never had it before i upgraded to 10.6.x Before all Mac Pro was running 10.5.8 with PS CS4 and it worked alright.
Then i upgraded all our Mac's to the latest to get the 64bit feature and PS CS5 and even the newer CS5.5
And then it started and its also with the newest PS from CS5.5
First i thought i found the problem because i saw a post at Extensis forum about the Suitcase FM core and Fontsense
extension for Photoshop and i deleted the extension from photoshop plugin folder and i was happy at first but then again.
It came back after a wile.. Sucks. Not that.
I wonder if its really because PS thinks the image was changed. I know it suppose to be that way but in our situation it is
something else. A bug ofcause and i have been trying to figure this out the last 3 days and even yesterday i used 7 hours
in a row to find a solution but i never found it.
I really hope we can find a way other than reinstalling Mac OS X and Photoshop. I do think if we formatted the drive and
started all over it would help but i don't want to do that because it will take me for ever to set up from scratch, yarggg
What do you think ? Do you have any idea whats so ever what could course this ? any ideas

MacBook Pro-'the disk copy of "file name" was changed...'

My MacBook Pro has been running very slowly. Occasionally, the message 'The disk copy of "file name" was changed since you last opened of saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?" when attempting to save photoshop files. It also tells me my start up drive is nearly full but it is not. I'm guessing the these are related. Anyone else experiencing this?

I also just started experiencing this.
Quick Specs:
MBP 8GB 2.3Ghz 1.7 (Early 2011)
256 SSD
OSX Lion 10.7.2
I have seen this with Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver CS 5, and Eclipse.
I am growing concerned that this is either the SSD starting to fail or possibly the new Spotlight index algorithm.
Would really like to see if anyone has a fix.

Recounting My Successful Experience Upgrading My Solid State Hard Drive

I just successfully upgraded my solid state hard drive from
60 gigabytes to 256 ; the machine is a Lenovo T400s - while the upgrade is
still fairly fresh, I thought I’d share my experience – maybe someone else will
benefit – most of what I’m about to relay was provided by Zoltanthegypsy and
GMAC-R60 – I thank them again for their advice - but I will try to add some
additional thoughts based on my experience – for the most part I was able to
use the tools provided by Lenovo – my original hard drive had 3 partitions, S
(system), C ( windows + my programs & data), & Q ( Lenovo stuff like
backup and restore, the factory copy, etc.) :
Create a “factory state” copy of the machine to
DVD or CD soon after purchase – I say soon after purchase because it appears that
a minimum amount of hard disk space is required – my 60 gig was almost full and
I got a message that there wasn’t enough space – I can still make the copy but
I’ll have to move some things off temporarily – this step isn’t really related
to the upgrade but it is a good idea – Start/Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools and you’ll see
the option – and as Zoltanthegypsy has pointed out you will most likely not be
able to do this from the new hard drive after the restore operation covered
below – I haven’t proven this out but I do know that my Q space on the new
drive is smaller than before – something was lost and it’s most likely the
factory state – and so keep the old hard drive long enough to make that factory
state copy to DVD or CD.
The next step was a full backup to a Lenovo
external hard drive – it came with one partition - the external that I got from
Lenovo has a small keypad and is password enabled – this fact will come into
play further on – as GMAC-R60 noted a pop-up will appear giving the option to
create rescue media – you want to select this option so that the external will be
bootable.
When the backup is complete you want to swap hard
drives making sure to first unplug & remove the battery .
There may be other ways to do this next step but
here’s what I did – I powered on the machine and let it go through what
appeared to be a BIOS routine – note that my external was attached to the
laptop but it wasn’t activated by keying in the password – after the BIOS
routine was finished I activated the external by typing in the password and then
did a Control/Alt/Delete – the machine restarted and booted from the external –
with hindsight I probably could have connected & activated the external
before powering on but the instructions that came with the external suggested
something different which didn’t work for me .
I was now able to go into rescue and recovery
and do a complete restore to the new drive – but to my surprise the extra space
that I bought with the new drive ended up all in the Q partition – and Windows
Disk Management didn’t enable me to reallocate the space to C.
And so I purchased Disk Director 11 Home by
Acronis – a $50.00 investment in a tool that I’ll probably never use again but
I’m now able to use an $800 solid state drive rather than trying to recoup some
money via Ebay -– within minutes I was able to reclaim the space and I now have
enough C space to last the lifetime of the laptop – especially since all
pictures go on a stick & my demographic isn’t into video games .
One useful piece of information that I got from
a user on the Acronis forum was that all of the Lenovo tools like rescue and
recovery, etc. are available for download from the Lenovo website – and so if worse
came to worse I could have deleted that Q partition, stretched C using Windows
Disk Management , and then downloaded the Lenovo tools into C.
One thing I’d like to learn to do would be to
perform all the steps outlined above but without using the Lenovo tools – using
Windows 7 tools instead but not having a Windows CD , i.e. how do you boot

It went something like this:
(On the stock drive)
Plugged in a blank USB HDD, and a blank USB flash drive.
- HDD formatted in NTFS, flash drive in FAT16.
Ran the recovery media creator.
- Created bootable media on flash drive, and put the recovery image on the HDD.
Once done, shutdown, removed the battery, swapped the drive for a 500GB Scorpio Black (freshly NTFS quick-formatted). USB HDD and flash drive were still attached.
Booted, and used F12 to select the flash drive for booting.
It booted into the Windows Recovery Environment and I chose the Lenovo restore factory image option at the bottom of the list.
From there on out, I just clicked through the wizard, and it restored.
Upon finishing, I unplugged all of the external media, and had it restart. It then booted into OOBE as expected.

Invalid checksum or cannot mount image errors with disk copy

I just upgraded my B/W G3 from OS9 to OS X.2 and only have Internet explorer 5.1 for Mac for internet browsing. I can't even access the Apple downloads page and alternate browsers download as .dmg files. When I click the download I am prompted to pick a location....(I tried to open the files directly through applications/disk copy and that option is grayed out; I can only save files to the desktop) so I saved the files to desktop and when I try to use disk copy to open them, I get either invalid checksum or cannot mount image errors. I am a brand new Mac user and understand this is not Windows and all and I understand the process of dragging the icon to the apps folder, but I can't get that far, I am getting these errors and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, the icon that appears on the desktop after the download is an image of a hard drive, but on a sheet of paper, not an image of a hard drive itself.
I think this has to do with the errors, but don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions?

a few updates-corrections:
I am running OS 10.1 with the latest update being 10.1.5
I have upgraded the RAM to 896 mb with some memory chips I got from Ebay...worked like a charm!
The only browser I can get to install and run is Camino, which crashes sometimes but is way better than IE5 for Mac
The majority of downloads I find on the internet stil give me the cannot mount image error
I tried the firmware update but it wants OS9 installed....but I am pretty sure I ran that before I installed OS 10.1.....OS9 still exists on my hard drive, but is not accessable in 10.1
When I can get an image mounted, a lot of times the program loads in the dashboard, but immediately closes out
With all these issues, I am considering upgrading to OS 10.4 but am hesitant since I don't know if that is the core problem
This old Mac is really cool and a refreshing change from Windows and I don't want to give up on it, but I don't want to keep spending money on things that don't work.

Disk Copy

I copied a laserdisc to a DvD +RW (using a DVD player/writer) and
wanted to copy it to a DVD+R. This is to have back-ups of my movies whenever my laserdisc player croaks. (although I lose some quality)
So I put it in my Mac and started it playing to test it, cancelled,
opened Disk Utility, and selected the New Image icon. It started
copying my DVD, but after a while the Disk Utility Progress changed
to:
Unable to create "My Fair Lady - part 1.dmg". (Input/
output error)
I tried again a few times, including once trying to write to my LaCie
drive. Same error.
1. How do I trace down my error?
2. Is it possible to skip this step, copying my DVD directly to my
Mad Dog portable drive? I have no interest in "breaking" protection.

My solution was to buy a DvD player/recorder. It seems to have one problem in that when I record to a rewritable disk, it always has an empty last title. But if I record to a non-rewritable disk, I don't think I can label the titles.
It's copying the created and finished disk to a non-rewriteable disk where I'm having problems. A month ago, I copied 2 of my movies using the procedures in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2059?viewlocale=en_US
but now I'm getting the I/O error I mentioned in the earlier message (this forum doesn't make it easy for me to read my previous message while writing this reply).
I need to resolve that error - but what I'd like is to go directly DvD to DvD without buying an expensive program designed to break DvDs to copy them.

Changing burn speed in Disk Copy

I am using 10.2.8 so I use Disk Copy rather than Disk Utility to burn a disk image (.dmg) to a CD. It doesn't give me an option to change the burn speed and I can tell by the quick result that it is using the full 8X speed of my burner. I want to use 4X which from my experience with this burner is more reliable. How can I change the burn speed?
If you want to suggest that I buy 10.4, hold off and let someone answer the question about 10.2.8 first. Thanks.

Is the burner original Apple equipment or a third-party unit added later? On some Macs (what kind is yours--it may be helpful to know), third-party drives do not get fully supported without a little third-party software. I installed a Lite-On 52X burner in my Beige G3 with 10.2.8. According to lots of places, that should support Finder burning but it doesn't fully; like you, I get no speed control. Even after upgrading to Panther It did not fully work.
At the suggestion of the burner's reseller, I use the freeware BurnX Free. Problem's gone for me but I haven't tried it with .dmg burning.

Virtual Disk copy - abort- still copying - HELP

I started a virtual disk copy from one repository to another.
This particular disk is 2 terabytes, so very sizeable.
I decided about 200 Gigs through to stop and do something else so I clicked Abort in the Jobs.
I then check the jobs and yes it has a finish time of 235pm yesterday afternoon.
Today I check my repository and the file is still building. Like the file copy did not stop even though the job is confirmed that it was aborted.
I really don't want it to place this 2Gb file on my repository.
Its about 550Gigs through now.
Any ideas on how to stop this thing?

I suspect the job has been aborted, so that no further tasks will be run. However, the in-progress copy is not aborted. This is possibly a bug, but I suspect it's not because we don't abort in-flight processes when you hit that button. Just the job itself. You could just kill the copy process yourself now that the job has been aborted.
