Does iMac G5 support 1.5TB hard disk?

I want replace the HD from 500GB to 1.5TB in an iMac G5 2.1G, does it support?

Wondering if you got the 1.5T to work. I got a Dual G5 Tower and it sees my new 1.5 (option drive) but on format, using disk util, the system encounters a major crash with the only option is to do a cold reboot.
Running the latest OS/patch level.
let me know and thanks

Problem of 1.5TB hard disk with msi p7n sli platinum

I have just bought a new 1.5TB hard disk (Western Digital). Bios can detect the disk but when i boot into Windows (XP sp3) its does not show?? can anyone tell me how to fix the problem. I have updated my mobo bios to 1.3 which is the latest available from the MSI site.
Thanks in advanced

Did you initialize the disk yet? Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and then click on Disk Management. You should now see the disk listed there. Right-click the disk and initialize it. You can get to disk management directly by hitting the WindowsKey+R, type diskmgmt.msc, hit okay or enter, and the disk management box below will show.

HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
Thanks for the quick reply!

It does. But you need a whole lot more free disk space than that. Having 8 GB of RAM wouldn't be a bad idea either.

My mac pro does not start up because then hard disk is formatted

My mac pro does not start up because then hard disk is formatted, How can install the operating system.
regards,
Tassew

Did you erase the hard drive yourself? If not, what exactly are you seeing, and what happened immediately prior to you starting to see it?
Your profile indicates that you are/were running Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.4) on a retina MacBook Pro, so you should be able to hold down command-R at startup to enter recovery mode, and you can reinstall the system from there. But whether or not you need to do something else first depends on your answers to the questions above.

Help! My iMac doesn't see the hard disk!

My old, reliable iMac (the old sunflower flat panel) suddenly froze up and when I did a hard break and restarted it, the dreaded folder with a question mark appeared.
I tried starting it from an installation disk--which it did with no problems except it still didn't see the hard disk. I tried inserting the Apple Hardware Test disk, which worked. I ran it and it said everything was OK, but when I hit the Restart button it still didn't see my hard drive.
I'm at my wit's end because, being a freelancer, I have a lot of important information on my iMac, which I stupidly haven't backed up for a long time. I have a little hope because the Apple Hardware Test ran and didn't find any problems (the Mass Storage test passed, which I'm assuming is the hard disk?).
PLEASE! Can anyone help me? My main objective is to get my data off of the disk and onto either my PowerBook or my external USB hard drive.
Thanks for any advice,
Karin

Are you saying your drive did not show up in Disk Utility? Did you Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

I think we have all been there! If you need help with a better backup strategy, let us know!

You can retrieve data using Target Disk Mode to your PowerBook. That's if the drive shows up.

Does formatting the macbook pro's hard-disk many times harms it?

Hello everyone,
I want to format my macbook pro, but before i do the formatting, because i formatted it before many times
So, does formatting the hard disk many time reduce the performance of the hard disk? and makes it less doing its jobs than before?
or it is fine to do format as many times as i want? Because i want to install the system again
Thanks guys

You shouldn't have a problem. If you do it a lot (but a lot) of times maybe your hard drive could have some problems. But when you format the disk the only thing you do is restarting the partitioning table. If you securely erase your content all disk will be set to 0 values and maybe will have better performance.
You shouldn't worry about it. If you use a SSD you shoud consider a little more than with a HDD. SSD's havve a number writting cicles. But with a really intensive use for a normal-advanced user a good SSD can last more than 5 years without a problem.
My experience with a Windows computer tells me that after reinstalling Windows more than 30 times, in all benchmarks HDD scores the same.
With mac I've been more lucky and I only had to reinstall once!
Go on with your formatting!

Support for larger hard disks...?

just a question regarding hard disk compatibility...
i am planning to purchase a faster, much larger capacity hard disk, but i always think a lot regarding compatibility.
from my previous experience, i used a driver from a known hd company but unfortunately it ruined my old board. Now, i just have to be sure whether that hard disk that i will purchase will run in my system.
What are the things that i should know before i purchase a new one? (i am planning to purchase a 40Gb 7200 hard disk)

... so, what motherboard do you have, and what BIOS-version? I would be VERY surprised if your new HDD would NOT be supported, btw!

MacBook does not see content on external hard disk

I copied my user directory from my PowerBook to an external hard disk. Now i have a MacBook instead and it cannot see my files. I can however see files from another user. If I look at the filesize and how much is in use, then I can see that there is more on the external hard disk. It also says I have the right to read and write.
What should I do?

If you can see the home folder on the external disk and it has a red circle on its icon, drag the folder to your desktop and type in your administrator password when prompted.
If you cannot see the home folder in the external disk but know where it is, navigate to the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and enter the folder's name as the path.
If you cannot see the home folder and don't know where it is on the hard disk, copy and paste the script posted here into the Script Editor in your /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, run the script to show the invisible items on the disk, locate it, and do what you want with the contents.

Does Time Machine support an external hard drive attached to Airport?

I was interested in setting up my external hard drive to my Airport Extreme base station and use Time Machine wirelessly. I have seen a few different answers on the forum and I'm wondering whether this is possible. (I do not have Time Capsule.) If so, can you provide an easy step by step as to how to set it up. Thanks!

Yes it's possible. Connect the drive and open Airport Utility. Click on the Manual Setup button. Then click on the Disks icon in the toolbar. Select the disk and turn on Sharing.
You can then open TM preferences where the shared drive should appear in the list of drives. If it does not show up then you will need to "mount" the drive by selecting Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu, then double-clicking on the shared drive's icon to login as a registered user.
Note that this is not supported by Apple.

T60p does not boot from new primary hard disk (Single-boot Linux/Fedora 14)

Hi,
I have just upgraded the primary disk in my T60p laptop (model 8742-C4G.) The BIOS recognised the disk fine, I partitioned it, marked the first partition as bootable, and then copied the OS (Fedora 14) and all my data back onto it. Then I installed the GRUB bootloader using the following commands:
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> find /grub/stage1
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
I've also tried installing GRUB with "setup (hd0,0)" instead of "setup (hd0)", without success.
This ran fine, exactly like with all the other PCs I've successfully performed this procedure on in the past. However, this laptop is refusing to boot from the new disk. There's no sign of any activity, either - just a flashing cursor in the top-left corner of the otherwise blank LCD panel. So I'm guessing that either the bootloader is failing immediately, or the laptop isn't executing the bootloader at all.
The laptop is running the very latest v1.18 BIOS, and there are no beeps, POST errors or anything like that. My previous disk booted into Fedora 14 without any difficulty at all, of course.
Can anyone suggest why the T60p is not booting, please? And also how to fix it? Is there any extra initialisation that I need to do in the BIOS, for example? (I haven't seen any...) The disk *does* appear in the BIOS's list of bootable media. Or maybe there's some special code that needs to be written into the MBR that GRUB doesn't know about?
The disk is a 320 GB 7200rpm Western Digital drive, and the Lenovo/IBM salesperson assured me that it was fully compatible with a T60p laptop without the need for any extra firmware.
Thanks in advance for any ideas, because I'm completely stumped at this point.
Cheers,
Chris
N.B. This is a Linux laptop, and so Windows-centric suggestions aren't going to help me.

You said you can't get into Windows safe mode, have you installed Windows on the hard drive? Are you able to get into the BIOS for the controller?
If you aren't able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM. If you are comfortable installing RAM and you have some extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try swapping out the RAM.
Was your hard drive damaged through some event, or did it just stop working?

Does iMac MC309 support final cut pro ??

Hello Dear Mac User , yesterday i bought my first imac and i am so happy cuz i am leaving windows forever !!
i bought the MC309 i and i have a doubt if i can use the final cut in this version thanks a lot guys !

Final Cut Pro has the following requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. All of them are better
2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM recommended). it has an 8 GB of RAM minimum
OpenCL-capable graphics card or
Intel HD Graphics 3000 or later. see the line below
256MB of VRAM. The iMac has a 512MB minimum
Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher. All have 1920 x 1080 or higher
OS X v10.6.8 or later. All have 10.7
2.4GB of disk space. not an issue
The biggest issue is one of video capture. Video capture works best if the video input device and the video storage device are on separate buses. So if you have a Firewire Camcorder, your hard drive should either be your internal drive, or an SDXC storage. USB is much slower, and you will have lag in live recording. Many USB Camcorders compress their video during capture. Partitioning your drive when you first set it up, will allow you have a scratch partition to store videos that are being edited before you send off to another storage medium for production. Disk Utility can then erase that partition without affecting the rest of the drive. Since you have no room for more than one internal hard drive, that's what iMac users often have to do. Ask more on the Final Cut Pro forum. You can't be running 10.0.x. Edit your profile on Discussions to show you are running some version of 10.7.
