Duplicating Laptop Harddrives
I was wondering if there was a way to duplicate mac harddrives in bulk. We have 300 harddrives and doing them all individually with firewire is a real pain. We are looking for something that can be done with a network switch (connecting 10 laptops to a network switch and using 1 main laptop to image from). does anyone have experience doing this?
thanks
Hi jarrad134,
sorry no experience on my side (I only have to deal with the 4 HDs in my Mac Pro ;- ) ).
Have a look at the DeployStudio Forums http://www.deploystudio.com/Forums/index.php
Might be some people around, who can help you with the more specific questions.
Take care
Stefan

I use a Windows XP Laptop and Firefox browser ( free don't remember the version). My hard drive crashed today 31.07.2011 and I installed a new hard drive with installed Windows XP. I have just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 ( free version) and would like to retrieve all by previous bookmarks and HISTORY.

How do I retrieve the music off my iPod after installing a new hard drive on my laptop
My laptop harddrive was just replaced, and I didn't have my iTunes backed up. When I went to sync my iPod with my new iTunes, it says that my iPod is already synced to another iTunes library, so I can't sync it to mine. But that old one was on my dead hard drive. How can I retrieve my music off my iPod?
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I have had lots of trouble running iTunes on my old Celeron based Presario. My dad is going to buy me a new, Centrino based Windows laptop (I know, I already asked him for a Mac and he said no).
Can anyone recommend a make, model and minimum configuration for my new Windows computer, one that works successfully with iTunes? I'm only interested in hearing from people who have a positive experience to share (sorry, my dad says misery loves company, but now we want to get past all that).
Thanks for whatever advice you have to share.If your going to use it just for basic music playing with iTunes and some video things, and your getting a laptop with intel centrrino, all you want to pay close attention to is your RAM and harddrive space. Most PCs now come with atleast 512MB of Ram if not more. that will be enough.
On the harddrive side, most laptop harddrives are pretty small I think. You can always get an external harddrive to connect to it tho. -
Recovering songs after laptop crash
My laptop harddrive crashed and had to be replaced. I have all my songs on my ipod "original" but they won't synch w/ itunes. I have autorized the computer with itunes store but it just does not synch back into Itunes library.. I hate to have to import all my personal cd's again. HELP!
ThanksThe transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

Compaq NX7010 Grandpa needs help to upgrade the harddrive
Hello youngsters
Please forgive me if I go straight to the point:
I have had my NX7010 now for almost 6yrs and she is still treating me well. The only problem I have is that I need to replace my laptop harddrive (40Gig currently) as it is making some noises on startup.
I have asked around and you youngsters keep on telling me that I need to through her AWAY INSTEAD OF HELPING ME.
Well I have learnt that if a LADY (Compaq nx7010) treats you nice, you keep onto her even if she is a bit slow at times
At present I have updated the bios in 2007 and no updates are available for my laptop anymore but I want to know of I can install a 500gig or maybe a 320gig harddrive in her to keep her going a bit longer as I can't find any 120gig harddrives anymore that is new. I am just worried that I won't be able to use the full space of the harddrives seeing that my bios only supports up to 137gig. My laptop is 1.6g CPU, 1.25g RAM, DVDrom and using WinXP service pack 2.
Young ones, please give me simple answers that does not have the high-end names and abbreviations you all use?Hi:
I had an nc8000 once. Nice machine. Pretty much the same as an nx 7010 except heavier. Had a slightly better graphics card too.
But it had the same chipset as yours, but mine had a 60 GB HDD. It ran very nice with 2 GB of memory in it.
I really don't think you should exceed the limitations of the BIOS. I'm not sure that it can handle drives in excess of 120 GB.
If you live in the USA, here is a link to purchase a brand new WD 120 GB 5400 RPM HDD, which hopefully will work with your notebook.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136130
If you want to stick with what the maximum drive HP offered in that notebook (80 GB, 5400 RPM), then get this one.

Harddrive failing - what to do?
Hi all
I strongly suspect that my laptop harddrive is failing. Sometimes I get
Buffer I/O error on hda
and other errors. I booted the computer with a knoppix cd and ran e2fsck but it quit after some time stating something like
Cannot read sector blah. Ignore?
. I can still boot the computer. Backup of important files have been made.
What should I do to detect for sure, that the drive is failing?
Can I make an image of the disk to put on a new drive, that I have?[/quote]Just an FYI. I used to work as a computer forensic examiner, and I taught quite a few people how to conduct investigations. One of the things that I ran across was people who would intentionally attempt to destroy their hard disks, in which case you get similar errors (but my job was to get the evidence).
As simple as it sounds, if you have a hard disk failing, there are a couple of very simple things you can/should do to to preserve your data.
1. Turn the computer off until your ready to do a proper backup. I've seen people simply run bad drives into the ground by 'ignoring' errors or spending lots of time making a diagnosis. Your first priority is a backup. Once you've done that, you can fool around with manufacturer tools.
2. Go buy an identical drive, and do your best to make an image of the original. dd usually works great, even when there are errors. If you buy a larger drive, you can dd the original image to the new drive as a file, and then use loopback to mess with the contents of the old drive. Just don't plug in or power up the damaged drive until your ready to image.
3. And finally, while your imaging - keep the bad drive sitting upright (on it's side) instead of sitting flat. In the event you have had heads that have crashed or made contact with the platter surface, putting the drive on it's side minimizes the damage.
Of course, there are more complicated (and expensive options) available, but if you react quickly you can usually save most everything on your drive. -
Move pictures from external harddive to laptop
I am new to Elements, and mistakenly thought when I did an "import" it would move the pictures file (close to 9,000 pictures) onto my laptop harddrive. It did not. What's the best way to have Elements use the pictures that are on the harddrive ( I don't want duplicates of all the pictures!)
The organizer can move pictures or folders of pictures on another master folder or drive.
The interface is slightly different according to your Elements version, but you have to be in 'Folders' view mode, which shows your drives and folder trees in the left panel.
To move folders with their subfolders elsewhere, you simply drag and drop the folder. You can drop on another drive.
To move individual files, you select (highlight) them in the browsing space on the right and move them on the correct destination folder in the left panel. You can also use the File/Move menu.
Be prudent not to move in a folder with the same file or folder names.
What is extremely important is not to move folders and files outside of the organizer via your Explorer/Finder. The files links would be broken in the catalog and you would have to 'reconnect' them. -
Looking for help to increase performance on a DB XML database.
I'll try to answer all the questions in the Performance Questionnaire from here.
1) I'm primarily concerned with insertion performance. The best I've seen so far is about 6000 inserts/per second. This is running inside a VMWare VM with 3 GB of RAM. The VM is set up with 2 CPUs each with 2 cores. The host machine has 8GB of RAM with a dual core 2.67 GHZ i7 (2 logical cores per CPU). The best performance I've seen is by running 2 threads of execution. A single thread only gets me about 2500 inserts per/second.
This is all within a very simple, isolate program. I'm trying to determine how to re-architect a more complicated system, but if I can't hope to hit 10k inserts per second with my sample, I don't see how it's possible to expand this out to something more complicated.
2) Versions: BDBXML version 2.5.26 no special patches or config options
3) BDB version 4.8.26, no special patches
4) 2.67 dual core, hyperthreaded intel i7 (4 logical processors)
5) Host: Windows 7 64-bit, Guest: RHEL5 64-bit
6) Underlying disk is a 320GB WesternDigital barricuda (SATA). It's a laptop harddrive, I believe it's only 5400 RPM. Although the VM does not have exclusive access to the drive, it is not the same drive as the Host sytem drive. (i.e. Windows runs off of the C drive, this is the D drive). The has a 60GB slice of this drive.
7) Drive is NTFS formatted for the host. Guest, ext3
8) Host 8gb, guest 3gb (total usage when running tests low, i.e. no swapping by guest or host)
9) not currently using any replication
10) Not using remote filesystem
11) db_cv_mutex=POSIX/pthreads/library/x86_64/gcc-assembly
12) Using the C++ API for DBXML, and the C API for BDB
using gcc/g++ version 4.1.2
13) not using app server or web server
14) flags to 'DB_ENV->open()': | DB_SYSTEM_MEM
| DB_INIT_MPOOL
| DB_INIT_LOCK
| DB_INIT_LOG
| DB_INIT_TXN
| DB_RECOVER
| DB_THREAD
other env flags explicitly set:
DB_LOG_IN_MEMORY 1
DB_LOG_ZERO 1
set_cachesize(env, 1, 0, 1) // 1GB cache in single block
DB_TXN_NOSYNC 1
DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC 1
I am not using a DB_CONFIG file at this time.
15) For the container config:
transactional true
transactionsNotDurable true
containertype wholedoc
indexNodes Off
pagesize 4096
16) In my little test program, I have a single container.
16.1) flags are the same as listed above.
16.2) I've tried with an empty container, and one with documents already inside and haven't noticed much difference at this point. I'm running 1, 2, 3, or 4 threads, each inserting 10k documents in a loop. Each insert is a single transaction.
16.3) Wholedoc (tried both node & wholedoc, I believe wholedoc was slightly faster).
16.4) The best performance I've seen is with a smaller document that is about 500 bytes.
16.5) I'm not currently using any document data.
17)sample document:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?>
<Record xmlns='http://someurl.com/test' JID='UUID-f9032e9c-7e9a-4f2c-b40e-621b0e66c47f'>

<User name='root'>0</User>
<SecurityLabel>unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023</SecurityLabel>
</Record>
18. As mentioned, I'm looked to get at least 10k documents per second for insertion. Updates are much more infrequent, and can run slower. I am not doing any partial updates, or replacing documents. In the actual system, there are minor updates that happen to document metadata, but again, these can be slower.
19. I'm primarily concerned with insertion rate, not query.
20. Xquery samples are not applicable at the moment.
21. I am using transactions, no special flags aside from setting them all to 'not durable'
22. Log files are currently stored on the same disk as the database.
23. I'm not using AUTO_COMMIT
24. I don't believe there are any non-transactional operations
25. best performance from 2 threads doing insertions
26. The primary way I've been testing performance is by using the 'clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME)' calls inside my test program. The test program spawns 1 or more threads, each thread inserts 10k documents. The main thread waits for all the threads to complete, then exits. I'm happy to send the source code for this program if that would be helpful.
27. As mentioned, I'm hoping to get at least 10k inserts per second.

=================== -
I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
Thanks so much!!!!!!how to use iTunes to sync is in the

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

Issue Restoring Windows 7 (factory settings)
My laptop Harddrive failed and I replaced it with a new one purchased from HP. I also ordered the Windows 7 re-installations CDs.
I have removed/replaced the Harddrive but get the following error message while trying to install Windows 7 onto the new harddrive: "Windows could not complete installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart installation."
I've tried restarting the installation twice with the same results. Ending with this error message.
How do I get past this and complete the Windows installation?I figured this out. I initiated the installation again and this time, instead of restarting at the end of the 2 disk, I selected the "Restart Later" option. The laptop proceeded to unzip additional software for a while, and at the end allowed me to initiate Windows for first use. Then I Restarted and Windows started up correctly.

I have a problem with my newly purchased U500-1DD notebook. I didn't like the way the auto-manager partitioned the hard-drive, so I went ahead and formatted all partitions and split them according to my needs. The problem is that the laptop, although it came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, didn't have the Windows 7 install cd/dvd nor any other ultility cd/dvd's. I went and downloaded a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit from Microsoft's MSDNA whatever, installed it, but when I try to activate it using the cd-key on the sticker on the back of the laptop, it says invalid cd-key.
I rechecked the cd-key and I wrote it correctly. On the sticker it says Windows 7 Home Prem OA . Do I need a special Win7 kit or something ?
Thanks in advance.Hi -- I couldn't find the "message user" button.
I have a similar problem -- well, I'm not there yet, I'm in the planning stages of replacing my laptops harddrive. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7, and I have the "Windows 7 Home Prem OA" product key on the sticker slapped to the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have an OEM copy/iso of Windows 7.
I suppose I could wait for the call in thing to happen, but I would like to have everything ready and set in stone before I dive into this project.
Now, I've seen that you can get the OEM version off of torrents, but I don't really like that idea. I've never trusted torrents, and with something as important as an entire operating system I REALLY don't trust torrents.
So, my question is did they give you an official link to the OEM iso? If they did, I would really be that. (and, if it's up on an official website, I don't think there's any problems with posting the address here)
Thanks! -
PSE 9, external hard drives and moving to new computer
I had an old desktop running PSE 3, yep...3, and my husband bought me a new laptop. Laptop's operating system would not run PSE 3, so I purchased PSE 9, reconnected all my "misplaced" photo files, loaded PSE 9 on the old desktop and converted all files to 9. NOW, I am ready to move everything to the laptop and am unsure what would be best.
I have a large collection of photos and have always stored them on an external harddrive that I just plug in when needed. I purchased a second external hard drive that I am now using for backup ONLY, so I have 2 external HD's - (1) storage and (2) backup.
New laptop has PSE 9 installed and has a some newer photos in the organizer that are presently stored on the laptop harddrive. I have not done any tagging on the laptop because I didn't want to complicate matters. I now want to import my old catalog photos (stored on the external hard drive), including PSE tags. The part that causes me confusion is that I want to continue storing the photos on the external hard drive where they are. It seems counter productive to import, make new files on the laptop, then export back to where they were all along.
Gosh, I hope I'm making sense here. Anyone have any suggestions - simplest of terms, please, regarding how to get access to my photos and tags moved to the laptop if the fewest and easiest steps?Ken, I am struggling with this. I have renamed the external harddrive with my photos, found the catalog and copied it to the external with the photos and have connected this external hard drive to the laptop (new computer).
I am now at step 5. of your first response. I have browsed and found the catalog, now my only two options are new or convert. I don't think I need to convert because I have already converted to from 3 to PSE 9 and don't really think it's a "new" catalog.
I need an "outline for dummies", please. If I didn't have so darn many photos, I'd be tempted to just start over. If it helps, I have written tag info to my files.
Thank you for all your patience and help. -
Running Apple TV off of an external drive?
Can you run the Apple TV off of an external drive with out having to run you itunes? I have a laptop that I am trying to keep all of my music and video on an external drive instead of the laptop harddrive.
Buzz.
External drives can be connected and used in a number of ways.
Connection can be achieved either as an external device to your mac/pc or as a network drive, which can be achieved either through an extreme, a genuine network drive or even I believe with a direct connection to the ethernet port on the tv (with hacks).
Consensus seems to favour keeping the itunes database files in their default location.
If you choose to copy files to your itunes folder in your itunes prefs and let itunes organise your library for you, you will use the external HD for all your media and when it is unavailable so will all your media. You could also organise the library yourself and choose just to keep large movie files on your ext HD, this would mean you can still play non movie files in itunes on your laptop when it is used on it's own, but need to connect the drive for your movies. -
How to open files (NOT copy) from external hard drive
Hello there,
I have a Western Digital My Passport external harddrive. I bought the hard drive so I could take stuff like my music off my laptop harddrive, free up space and make it run smoother.
Problem is, every time I select a music file on the ex harddrive to play in itunes, the file is copied to the laptop harddrive! Completely defeats the purpose.
Does anyone know how to stop my laptop from copying music files and just get it to play files from the external hard drive? I have looked and looked but to no avail - this is my first Mac and it is the one issue that really bugs me.
Any help will be much appreciated!
N.B. it doesn't seem to do this with other file types (documents etc.) just music files/files supported by itunes.How are you selecting the music files? I have my entire music library on an external drive. If you go to preferences in iTunes, their is an option to select where your music library resides. I think it is under advance but I'm not sure since I don't have access to my mac.
