Does anyone know about a hard drive being corrupted by travelling from a Mac to a PC then back again?

Ok, so I wrote a bunch of data to a Seagate ST2000DL003 3.5 inch 2TB Hard Drive - mac formatted - then put it into a PC and it couldn't read the drive. But when I plugged the drive back into the mac pro the drive was unreadable/corrupt. Does anyone know what's happened and is this data recoverable?

Use Disk Utility "Repair Disk" and see what it says. It may be trivial and easily fixable.

  • Does anyone know about the Mackeeper? Is it needed to protect my mac?

    Does anyone know about mackeeper? And is it needed to protect my macbook?

    Don't download mackeeper!
    1st: when you get the pop-ups, they will get worse over time. I heard from other people they even could'nt open their Safari anymore. The problem with mackeeper pop-ups is that they you can't view a website before you press some buttons of them (wich leeds to problems) and that they aren't pop-ups from the site you're viewing (so the site you're viewing don't get paid for it).
    To avoid this pop-ups: download glimmerblocker!
    Really search on internet if you can trust it (I also did), but you'll see it's safe. Really great software. Since I downloaded it, and put it on, I never got these problems anymore!
    I never downoaded mackeeper but still the pop-up would show up more frequntly over time, really frustrating.
    2nd: When you download it, you got some serious problems. It isn't good software at all. It slows your mac to a new level. I don't know what to do  in this case.

  • Does anyone know the maximum hard drive size for a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226)?

    I have a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226). Is there a limit to the sized hard drive that can be installed? If so, what is the largest hard drive I can put into it? I have a 500GB HD that I upgraded to from the 320 GB that was in it when I bought it. I'm now trying to install a 1 TB or 750 GB drive, but after cloning with 'Carbon Copy Cloner' and installing it, I get the "?-folder" flashing when I start up. I'm pretty confident in CCC because if I use it to clone to another 500GB HD, it works fine. The problem only occurs when I try to use larger drives. Is 500GB the largest HD I can use in this machine? If so, can anyone point me to a spec sheet so I can be sure the next Macbook I buy can be expanded to suit me.
    Thanks in advance.

    You said:  "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
    YES!  See the my old instructions below.  What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key.  Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots.  This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
    Ciao.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • TS1424 Does anyone know about a problem 12001 downloading a movie?  The download was stopped and will not start again.

    This occurred whilst downloading.  The download stopped and now I can't start it again.  Even if I try to purchase it again I can't, as it says 'downloaded' instead of the price tag.  I'd love to know the answer as we are in the middle of the third season of 'Game of Thrones'! Thanks.

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

    Hi folks,
    Does anyone know about the JTF_PF_REPOSITORY table & its purpose? we looked at the data in this table and it seems like it is storing a whole bunch of page related data.
    Can this table can be purged?
    Any pointers will be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Why do you want to purge this table?
    If you want to delete your personalization or pages just use functional Administrator responsibility or use jdr_utils.delete_document().

    Does anyone know about how to get the blue light @ the top of the left corner of the Samsung Galazy 3 to quit flashing continuously?

    It would appear you have some sort of notification set up and have yet to look at the app which is sending the notification to the phone.
    You would have to first determine which app is sending the notification and then change the settings in that app to disable notifications if you no longer want to be alerted by that app.
