External hard drive set-up

Hi all,
I have an iMac (Intel) with a 1T Seagate external HD, connected by firewire 400, running Tiger (10.4.11). I just purchased a 3T LaCie external. I've daisy chained the 3T off of the 1T. My question is what do I do now? Should I partition the 3T drive? If I do, how many partitions, 3, more, less? Also what settings should I use. If it matters, I plan to use it to edit FCE projects. Any and all advise is greatly appreciated.
Also, is there anything else I should do or know that I'm not asking about?
cheers,
Jack

Hi Studio X and Martin R.
Thank-you for your advise. I really appreciate all of the professional help on this forum!
cheers,
Jack

  • External Hard Drive set up for Mac and PC

    Hi there.
    I have a Lacie 1000GB external hard drive conected to Power Book Pro. I don't know much about it but was wondering if I could partition some of it off for my PC back up. As my Powerbook is for buisness (editing) I try and keep it away from emails and things, which I use me PC for. When I first purchased the Lacie HD, after setting it up with the mac I then tried to connect it to the PC to do a general back up of documents, etc. but it wouldn't allow it. Can anyone help with this? Sorry the info is a little vague...

    You need to have a partition for OS X and one for your PC. Partitioning will erase your drive.
    Open disk utility in the utilities folder in finder. Choose your external drive.
    Choose partition and then under volume scheme choose 2 partitions. Pick the size of the partitions by either dragging the center bar with the dot on it or type in the size. Pick the partition you want to be your mac partition then choose option and pick guid partition table. For format choose mac os extended journaled. Pick a name for this partition
    Now pick the other partition and under option choose master boot record. Under format choose MS-DOS file system. Choose a name for this partition.
    Now in the right hand corner choose partition. It will take a while so be patient.

  • Can't write to external hard drive set up by Windows

    We have a 300gb Maxtor external hard drive. I had set it up using the Windows laptop I use for work.
    The Mini that we have can read, but not write to, this external drive. I just went back and set the Security properties to allow Full Control for the Everyone group. That did not work; the drive is still read-only for the Mini.
    Additionally, when it's hooked up to the Mini, the hard drive starts spinning for no apparent reason. When it's doing that, you cannot eject the hard drive. It will whir for several minutes; at times, we've had to reboot the Mini to get the thing to stop.
    Is there a Mac OS setting somewhere that needs to be changed to allow the Mini to write to the drive?
    Why is the drive spinning for no apparent reason? Is there something we can look at to find out what's happening with it?
    Any other suggestions for fixing the problem? I'd like to avoid reformatting it, if possible....

    Sounds like the drive is formatted in NTFS. Under OSX, your Mac will be able to read, but not write, to an NTFS formatted drive.
    If you format as HFS or HFS+, the Mac will be able to readd/write to the disk, but the Windows box will not be able to recognize the disk.
    Since it is a 300gb drive, FAT will not work (FAT does not recognize drives that large).
    It must be formatted as FAT32.
    It can be formatted as such on either the windows box or the Mac.
    You can partition the disk, one HFS+, one FAT32, but the windows box still will not be able to recognize the HFS partition, and the Mac will be able to read/write both.
    So...for maximum compatibility and cross-platform usage, format the drive as FAT32.
    As for as the periodic drive spin, it's possible Spotlight is updating it's index.

  • FW800 v eSATA & External Hard Drive set-up questions

    Hi there: I've loosely got 2 questions to the wise here...
    I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 17" and have extended my collection of external drives. I have:
    - 300GB Lacie (connected via FW800) after years of service, now semi-retired used solely as a clone of the system drive
    - 1TB Seagate Freeagent (via FW800) currently used as 2/3 Timemachine and 1/3 general non-important storage
    - 2TB WD MyBook Studio II (via FW800) to be used as a FCP scratch disc.
    I've only had the Seagate for a day and it's behaving ok but seems quite warm to the touch, whilst the WD (arrived today) seems to run much cooler.
    I have thought of changing things so that:
    - 1TB Seagate becomes the scratch drive
    - 2TB WD becomes 3 partitions: 1/ small amount of storage 2/ timemachine backup and 3/ a scratch disc backup
    My logic being that (a) the Seagate will be in use less and (b) that I will be able to back-up capture/scratch stuff. There are two possible downsides to this:
    - That I will effectively half my capacity for scratch, although at 2TB I might have over-estimated my need in any case.
    - I give up my potential for eSata for the scratch disc.
    So as well as general advice about my set-up (or proposed set-up) I'm asking whether eSata would be sufficiently faster to justify purchase of an Express/34 card and restricting myself to only using the WD for scratch.
    Now give yourself a medal for reading through all this!

    Your need for both space and for speed is determined by what codec you're working with, how much of it, and to what complexity. I'd start here to estimate how much space you need:
    http://www.videospaceonline.com/
    And if you like, you can use my Digital Acquisition Codecs chart to find your codec bitrate:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0f3cee79d16c357cd5a101cf914073b415dd66068b14f 2a8
    eSATA is definitely faster than FW800, but whether you really need that extra boost is something for you to decide. And remember, you can always daisy-chain your backup drive (or connect it via FW400 or even USB-- it's just backup after all), allowing it to backup your scratch files even if they're on another disk.

  • How can i unlock my files from an external hard drive set up previously on windows?

    hi
    i created some files on an external hardrive when i had a windows os on a laptop
    i am trying to unlock them files to sort or delete them the external hardrive is now connected to my imac
    i would know any passwords but there is no option to unlock they are read only files?
    do i need to open through a windows program again?
    or any other way?

    thanks in advance if anyone can help

    Mac OS X can't write to NTFS drives by default. Drag them to the internal drive first.

  • External hard drive not readable anymore after a blackout.

    We had a blackout yesterday and now my external drive comes up as not readable, it has all my iTunes as well as photo's that are not replaceable. When I attempted to repair permissions, it would only allow me to delete and re-format the hard drive, which I haven't done as I don't want to loose all my stuff. I can't even access my time machine to go back to before the black out. Please help.

    Do not attempt to perform a permissions repair. That is not related to the problem you are experiencing.
    Do you have that external hard drive set up as a single partition or multiple partitions? If multiple partitions, are all the partitions failing to mount?
    Regardless, you are going to have to move to a more robust (and expensive) method of recovering your data than is available with the tools provided by Mac OS X. Your best chance of recovering your data without spending an inordinate amount of money is DiskWarrior:
    http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    If the data is very valuable to you and you really really can't lose it, then you might care to try a profesional data recovery laboratory. It is extremely expensive – thousands of dollars whether they are successful or not. There are many good labs; here's one:
    http://www.datarecoverylabs.com/
    In the future, you simply have to learn to keep redundant backups. Keeping active files on the same device as your backups makes no sense at all; you might as well not bother creating the backups if you're going to do that. Read here for good advice on backups:

  • External Hard Drive for large itune library

    Every time I click a song I have to "locate." Is there any way to have resolve that in one step without having to do it on each song?
    TRacy

    How do I do it?
    My external hard drive is connected to one computer. It gets turned on first. Then the other two. They are connected by a LAN. I have the external hard drive set to mount on the other two at startup. Now the external hard drive is connected to all three at the same time. iTunes on all three point to it, but the Library.xml file for each computer is on it's own startup disc. Only the music files are shared.
    If you are happy with the location of your files and you don't care about playlists and play count etc., open iTunes WITH THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE DISCONNECTED and delete everything in the library and close iTunes. Them turn on and mount the external hard drive, open iTunes and do File/Add To Library and point to the external hard drive.
    Moving the files by hand instead of letting iTunes do it in the first place is one reason iTunes can't locate them now.

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I thought I set up my computer to store my I tunes library to my external hard drive.  However, I recently found out that my library is stored on my main C drive.  Does any one know how to tranfer the libray from the C drive to an exteranl dirve.

    I thouhgt I set up ITunes to store my library on the external drive.  However, I recently sound out that the library is stored on my main C drive.  Is there someway to move the library to the exernal drive and still have everything function correctly?

    If you go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced then you can change the location of the iTunes media folder.  Keep in mind that if you do this and you unplug your external hard drive, iTunes won't be able to locate your music and you may get the little red "!" marks.

  • How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive

    How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive? Is this even possible? I had a friend tell me it woudl be a good set up to get a time capsule with my Macbook Air to use as a gigantic external hard drive but then was unbale to wlak me through the setup after I bought the equipment. Any suggestions?

    It depends on what you already have equipment wise..
    Just bridge the TC..
    I cannot walk you through it either if you use v6 airport utility.. due to my refusing to run Lion until it gets network issues sorted.
    Download and run the real utility http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Go to manual setup..
    Internet tab
    Connection sharing.. select off bridge mode in the drop down box.
    You can then if you like turn off wireless under airport wireless.. The TC is now a plain network client with hard disk.
    Personally I would keep the wireless on but sort the channels manually if you already have a wireless AP or router.

  • I just got a new laptop.  How do I install iTunes and set it up so that I can still store my 80 gigs of music on my external hard drive?

    I would also like to set it up so that if I unplug my external hard drive and take my laptop somewhere else, I can still have access to iTunes on said laptop.  I realize that I wouldn't have access to the music that is on my external hd but I can still access the music that I have purchased from iTunes, right?

    If your external drive has the right ports, you should be able to plug it up to your Mac and copy over your photos and wav files. You'll probably (I don't know this for sure as it's been a long, long time since I've dealt with wav files) need to convert the wav files to MP3 or some other format (but I would try opening them directly from iTunes, first - wait a second... yes, iTunes will open wav files).
    There are only a fixed number of ways that Windows drive can be formatted and a Mac can read (though not necessarily write) them all. So you should have no trouble with that.

  • Can't set up an iPhoto library on external hard drive: access privileges

    Hi all
    I am trying to set up an extra iPhoto library on an external hard-drive to store some of my photos.
    I get the following message: 'iPhoto cannot create a new library in this location because you do not have enough access privileges.'
    The external hard drive is Formatted: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), is 500g capacity and is empty. Also 'Ignore ownership on this volume' is ticked.
    I am the administrator of this computer (imac) which is running Yosemite 10.10.1
    Any clues as to what I need to do to make this happen? I'm not much of a techie!
    Cheers

    Once you've confirmed that the EHD is formatted correctly and all is well (run Disk Utility and repair the disk) try the following to create an almost "duplicate"  library on the EHD:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the EHD as the location where you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • How to set up iTunes with an external hard drive so that there is not a double location for the iTunes Media folder

    Hi,
    A very helpful postee got to the end of his knowledge level, so I am posting this for you tech guys to sort out. Bit long because I've tried to set it out step by step. Briefly I'm new to iTunes and my laptop has a very small hard drive and is virtually full and due to be replaced. So I want to use an external hard drive.
    Now I know that iTunes installs itself to two locations: 1. Programs Files 2. Music. And its the Music location that bothers me.
    I asked about using an external hard disk to store the actual AAC files. I was advised that in order to change the loaction of the iTunes media folder I was should employ preferences/advanced/ and this is what i saw (as you would expect):
    Then I hooked up my hard drive, hit 'change', and this is what I saw:
    I was a bit worried by the lack of pathway details, but assumed it must have done something on the external drive, so I looked on  it and this is what i saw (highlighted):
    But compare this with what was in the directory I attempted to reproduce, viz in the iTunes folder in /laptop/Music/iTunes:
    A ton of stuff. The only stuff that corresponded with what iTunes had created on my external hard drive was in Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder:
    Now this suggests that there are TWO locations for my preferences. The advanced tab only allowed me to ADD an extra location, not REPLACE the original.
    So:
    1. Which of the two locations will iTunes choose when I add music? Surely it will go with the original pathway laid down in the directory when iTunes was installed, and ignore my external Hard Drive? I mean, how can there be two automatic locations?!!!
    2.. I don't mind itunes library being on my laptop as this is just a list, but it obvoiusly has to have a pathway to the site where the actual AAC files are stored.
         so surely it won't work unless the whole lot is on the external hard drive: library, extras, genius, the lot?
    4. How then do I get it all on the external since merely changing "preferences" doesn't do the job?
    5. Is this perhaps the reason why so many people report that iTunes does not recognize their external hard disk:
    http://www.ehow.com/info_12199596_external-hard-drive-not-recognized-itun es.html
    I just don't want this to happen to me. Any answers?

    As I've replied to your other threads...
    Easy method 1:
    Move or Copy entire working library from current location to the root of your external drive. Press & hold down shift (option on a Mac) as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Choose when prompted, then browse to ..\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl on the external. If you copied the library across then test your new library works properly after renaming the original folder, before deleting the original folder to recover space.
    Easy method 2:
    If you haven't really started to build your library. Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Create. Browse to the root of the external drive. Create the library as ITunes. Drag your media into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.
    Complex method:
    Required if you've already tried other things and now have media & library scattered around. See the post make a split library portable.
    in addition...
    In all cases the idea is to get a library folder called iTunes containing a media folder called iTunes Media with all media inside this media folder. Once you have the library in this shape it is easy to reconnect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method if the drive letter changes, move the library to another computer, and backup the library by cloning the folder to another drive.
