Extra internal hard drive use for all programs in stalled

who to use internal hard drive for programs install?

Kind of hard to figure out what you are asking... Let's assume it's, "How do I install applications on my Mac's second internal hard drive?"
There are two ways applications are installed: Manually and automatically. When you install an application manually, you can just drag it to whatever location you like on whatever volume you like. When an application is installed automatically by an "installer" of some kind, it's going to go, by default, somewhere on the boot volume; most likely in the Applications folder at the root level of the boot volume.
If you're using a late-2012 Mini, there is the extra complication that if you have both a HDD and an SSD installed internally that the OS will attempt to link them into a single Fusion Drive volume. If that's the case, the two drives are treated as a single volume and the OS handles on which physical drive any particular bit (including applications) is actually stored. So if your two physical drives are a single Fusion Drive volume, just don't worry about it.
If your two drives are separate volumes, you can boot from either (assuming you have the OS installed on both volumes) and install applications wherever you like. In many cases, it's a simple matter of dragging-and-dropping to copy an application from one volume to another. Some applications will be happy to run from any location on any volume. Others will run from any location on any volume but will need their various supporting files to be present in the proper places on the boot volume; such supporting files are usually installed by an "installer" but sometimes when the application runs for the first time.
If you need more, or more specific, information, try to form your question in complete sentences and be as clear as you can. Read it back to yourself before pressing the ADD REPLY or SUBMIT buttons to be sure it's something another person will understand.

  • Turning off an extra internal hard drive

    I have a extra internal hard drive via a DataDoubler, and I was wondering if it was possible to turn the extra drive off whenever I'm not using it? I only have music, movies, and other large files on it (to keep them off my SSD), and I don't want it to just sit there spinning when I'm not using it (wasting my battery power).

    Are your prefs configured to spin down drives when not in use?
    Is Spotlight set to index it or ignore?
    You can use AppleScript to unmount the drive if you like...

  • G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9

    G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9. I installed OS X over a year ago, and could never get it to recognize 2 previous internal disk drives. When I run OS 9 it works fine.

    rob:
    I think I'm beginning to get the picture. "Missing drives" refers to the two that do not show up on the DT when you boot in OS X. Now, some more questions for clarification.
    1. Is each of the drives formatted Mac OS Extended or HFS+?
    2. What do you have on each individual drive?
    3. What OS is installed on the Master drive?
    4. Are OS 9 and OS X installed on separate drives?
    5. If they are, is there a particular reason you want it so?
    6. Can you use the Startup Manager to select the startup disk?
    7. Which is the default startup disk?
    Lots of questions, I know, but it will help me to get a picture of the set up. I think I have an idea of what is going on, but I can't be sure until I know more.
    Good luck.

  • Apple TV & Time Capsule's Hard Drive Used for iTunes Media Only !

    I would like to use the Time Capsule Hard Drive just for my iTunes. Not Time Machine. Time Capsule will be my Wireless Base Station (router) as well. But I'm going to plug my Mac Mini into the Time Capsule via Gigabit Ethernet. Will this work & how well (fast) will it stream the media from my iTunes to the Apple TV? I'm not synching any files on the Apple TV's Hard Drive. All Video & Music will be streaming! I know this is not what Time Capsule was intended for, but will it work & again, how well will it stream ? Is there a downside to setting it up this way ? Also, I'm not buying any Movies from the iTunes store. Thanks in advance!

    OK, so having my Mac & TC hardwired by Ethernet, is like having the Hard Drive inside the TC hard wired to my Mac? Correct ? I'm sorry to repeat myself but I'm just trying to understand all this. I'm bad with Networking! So you think I should be streaming OK even with watching a movie I have in iTunes (which lives on the TC Internal Hard Drive) on my Apple TV? My Apple TV will be used Wirelessly. No Ethernet to Apple TV. Again, I appreciate the help. I don't want to buy it & find I can't do what I want. B&H in NY have the older TC 500 GB Model for $199.95 And I have a crappy router currently. So I figure I can kill 2 birds with one stone.( I love Birds. It's just an expression! If it works, it would be ideal for my situation.

  • How do I password protect the external hard drive used for Time Machine backup

    Can anyone help me to put password protection on the external hard drive I use to Time Machine backup my iMac internal hard drive?  I use Snow Leopard 10.6

    I think that was FileVault 1.  Starting with Lion (10.7) Mac OS X uses FileVault 2, which is whole disk encryption.
    Based on complaints seen in these forums, I would say FileVault 2's only complaint has been when people forget their password/encryption key (it seems an encrypted disk does prevent anyone without the password from accessing the data, including the real owner).  Otherwise it does not seem to be causing any serious issues.  Your Mileage may vary and objects are closer than they appear in your side view mirror (standard disclaimer).  Of course this is all academic while you are using Snow Leopard (10.6).
    There are other whole disk encryption packages available, such as PGP Whole Disk Encryption, HOWEVER, I would not advise it for your Mac OS X boot disk, as it has been known to be a problem when you try to install operating system updates or upgrade to a new version.  NOTE:  I have not seen PGP Whole Disk Encryption discussed much, ever since FileVault 2 came along.

  • HT3275 My time machine backup hangs up when partly completed. It seems to back up 7.4 MB out of 159.8 MB, and then keeps on turning but nothing seems to be happening. I tried troubleshooting it by doing a disk utility on the external hard drive used for T

    My Time Machine seems to be hanging up (stopping) beforew completion. I'm running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my iMac G5, and I already trouble-shot the external drive used for Time Machine by using Repair on Disk Utilities. So--what gives?

    IMac G5 with Mountain Lion.. amazing.. I am pretty sure support for early Intel stopped at ML and support for G5 long before that.
    Load the widget and see if you get error message that the TM is ejecting the drive.. before the backup is complete.. that is one of those nice.. features.. Apple has made available in recent updates.. sometimes called bugs.

  • "Extra" Internal Hard Drives won't mount - swap, /, and /home work.

    Hello All,
    *** I'm updating my post finally. Sorry it's so long, I'm not entirely sure what is and isn't relevant.
    *** Also I think it's a mix up with RAID causing the issue, as I'll address below, but in case I'm wrong I wanted to include the other information that came to mind before I noticed the RAID issue (because the RAID issue doesn't make a lot of sense to me).
    First off, I'm running Arch64 and KDE4 with my system up to date. Also I have Gamin installed and not FAM. I use ReiserFS on all of my partitions and drives.
    I have six hard drives in my computer, all of which are SATA drives. One is a WD 150GB Raptor with my swap, /, and /home partitions on it, the other five are for extra storage on what I call my media-server (they mount to /media/media-server/1 ,2 ,and so on). They only have one partition each. Of those five the first (/media/media-server/1) is a WD 1TB drive, the other four are WD 500GB drives of identical model.
    All of the Raptor's patitions, swap, /, and /home mount just fine.
    On top of that the 1TB drive mounts just fine. But the four 500GB drives will not mount at all. They show up in Dolphin, Disk Utility, KwikDisk, KDiskFree, and Partition Manager. However, their size is not shown and/or marked N/A, except in Partition Manager, where their size is shown. They are not seen by 'df'.
    Output from 'df':
    df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    udev 10M 308K 9.7M 4% /dev
    /dev/sda2 25G 7.7G 17G 32% /
    none 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm
    /dev/sda3 112G 90G 22G 81% /home
    /dev/sdb1 932G 919G 13G 99% /media/media-server/1
    *** As for removable media, it's being a bit odd. When I first wrote this post removable media, specifically USB flash drives and SD media cards mounted fine. A while after that they'd show up in Device Notifier, but wouldn't mount. Just a little while ago they wouldn't show up in Device Notifier and wouldn't mount. Now they show up fine and mount fine again. This is possibly unrelated, I'm not sure.
    Depending on what method I try to mount my hard drives I either get an 'only root can mount that' error or else a HAL drive busy or already mounted error, followed by a 'drive is not mounted' error when I use umount to double check.
    *** Permissions are working better now , Dolphin isn't giving me the 'only root can mount' errors anymore. Still can't mount the drives though.
    All of this output is from when the drives are listed in /etc/fstab:
    Konsole output:
    mount /dev/sdf1
    mount: only root can mount /dev/sdf1 on /media/media-server/5
    sudo mount /dev/sdf1
    mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
    umount /dev/sdf1
    umount: /dev/sdf1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
    sudo umount /dev/sdf1
    umount: /dev/sdf1: not mounted
    Dolphin output:
    An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
    Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
    org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
    Partition Manager:
    The file system on partition /dev/sdf1 could not be mounted.

    mount: /dev/sde1 already mounted or /media/media-server/4 busy
    mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
    This is from when the drives are not listed in /etc/fstab:
    Dolphin output:
    An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
    Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
    An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
    I have tried listing (with the UUID method and the /dev method) and not listing the drives in /etc/fstab, and I have 'hal' and 'dbus' daemons in /etc/rc.conf (and I've tried using only the hal daemon and not the dbus in /etc/rc.conf). I've also tried not listing 'hal', 'dbus', and 'kdm' and only booting to terminal and then mounting the drives manually, that doesn't work either.
    Here is my /etc/fstab (back to using UUID's):

    I attempted to add the other drives to /etc/mtab but they get overwritten upon a reboot. I've drived mounting the drives from konsole and dolphin.
    All my drives used to work. At one point I had Chakra installed and had this issue after an update, however after thinking about it the problem may have actually started after the power flashed on and off here. I couldn't fix it so I installed Arch64 and KDE4 (the normal KDE from the Arch repos, not KDEMod) thinking maybe it was a Chakra specific issue. That fixed it at the time. It later happened on my Arch install. I reinstalled Arch again and the issue was gone. However the issue is back. Again I think it was after a power outage/flash but it was also after an update that included a kernel update. Best I can remember each time it's happened has been after a kernel update and power flash. So I can't say for sure which is the cause.
    Oddly though if I boot from a live disc (in my case a Chakra Live DVD) I can mount and access all of the drives just fine.
    Another oddity, is that in 'Disk Utility' (palimpsest) there is a 1.5TB RAID-5 array listed. The only thing I can figure is that that is what is making the individual drives busy.
    Here's a screenshot from Disk Utility of the RAID-5 array:
    http://theavataroftime.com/sites/defaul … enshot.png
    After talking to a friend I remembered that quite a while back (over a year) we had messed around trying to setup a RAID array and dual boot WindowsXP. However, we never could get it working quite right, not even just in Linux without dual booting. I really can't say what all we did/tried, it's been too long. I realize that's not much help but...
    Anyway I'm pretty certain I deleted everything RAID related at the time and turned it off. However I must be mistaken or I guess the array wouldn't be showing up.
    I apologize, I really know nothing about RAID or RAID controllers. I do have an onboard RAID controller, but it's not a full fledged hardware RAID controller. It's onboard, but doesn't have it's on proccessor like good hardware RAID would. Or that's the way I understand it. Perhaps 'hybrid' is the proper term?
    I checked in BIOS and my onboard RAID controller is off.
    I take it that my attempts at setting up a RAID array before are still in the MBR (on that note I use GRUB and have never used LILO)? That's the only place I can think of that any leftover RAID configurations wouldn't have been wiped during reinstalling and reformatting the drives and partitions? I've reformatted my drives completely and changed the size of swap, /, and /home on several occasions since then, as well as formatting the media-server drives to ReiserFS (not sure what FS I was using when trying to setup RAID before. Perhaps FAT32 since I was trying to dual boot).
    I clicked the stop array button in Disk utility, and then all the options except start array went away. Then I clicked start, and instead of my four media-server drives being listed at the side of Dolphin there was one 1.4TB drive. I rebooted and now it's back to the 4 500GB media-server drives.
    I'm worried about losing a bunch of data, so I'm hesitant to start experimenting. How should I go about getting rid of the remnants of the RAID array safely?
    Also here's a screenshot of MediaServer5 from Disk Utility. The other 500GB drives have the same info minus the names and labels of course:

    *** I had forgotten about dmesg output. It's quite long so instead of copying it, here's a link to it:

    Thanks for advice on the matter.

  • Can I replace internal hard drive using only my system recovery disc?

    Hello Everyone and thank you so much for your help!
    I have a Vista Desktop and have determined that I need to replace the hard drive. 
    I am hoping that I can set the jumper pin on the new hard drive to primary, remove the old drive, install the new drive and turn on the computer with the System Recovery (SR) Disc in my DVD drive, boot off of the SR Disc, and run the SR.  Will this work or am I just dreaming? 
    On thing that might cause issues is that the original hard drive is 640GB, and it is no longer available, so the new one I have is 500GB..Everything else about the 2 drives is the same.  Old drive: WD6400AAKS, New Drive: WD5000AAKS. 
    Thank you extra much for any advise you can provide!
    Cindy
    P.S.. In case it would be helpful to know why I think I need to replace the hard drive...in the mornings when I go to turn the computer on, the hard drive activity light never flashes even a single time and the computer doesn't boot.  Through trial and error I have figured out that by doing this:
    1) removing power from the computer
    2) disconnect then reconnect both connectors to the hard drive
    3) reconnect power to the computer
    4) depress the computer On button
    that  the computer will boot and all is good for the day.  However, I turn off the computer at night and the next morning have to follow the above procedure.  Only removing power from the computer for 30+ minutes does not work, it seems to be necessary to disconnect the hard drive connectors.
    This all started at the same time I got a virus on the computer that I was supposedly able to remove.
    I have done the following to try to resolve the problem with no success:
    1) Ran the diagnostics and passed all Tests, tests say hard drive is okay. (day 1)
    3) Cleared the CMOS by removing the battery on mother board (day 1)
    2) Did a System Recovery (day 2)
    3) Ran Boot.exe /FixMbr (day 3)
    4) Ran Boot.exe /FixBoot (day 4)
    5) Ran Boot.exe/rebuild bcd (day 5)
    I am thinking I must also have a virus on the boot sector that did not get written over when I did the System Recover...but I am a novice computer geek, so I know I could have missed something. :-)

    Its easy Pal! You check your HDD first but not in the way you did. Just follow the steps with your old HDD.
    1. Try a clean install(delete the partitions while installing OS) of other OS like linux or XP or Windows 7.
    2. If it works properly the your HDD is OK.
    3. Then work for some days with the OS installed to check the condition of HDD.
    4. If any problem happens then you need to buy a new one or if its recently bought, go for RMA.
    5. If there is no problem, then do a clean install(delete the partitions while installing OS) with your Vista Recovery.
    6. Use a Better Security with MSE/Avira/Trand Micro
    For Replacing with a different HDD, you must consult nearest HP Service Point for the change in your hardware configuration, so that they will register with Microsoft with the new HDD.
    Note: Give the old and new HDD to HP Service Point employee.

  • Best Internal Hard Drive Update for Macbook Pro 13" early 2011?

    Hey everyone,
    I was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinon as to what might be the best hard drive to update on for a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011 model. My budget is about $100, and i'm looking to increase the size of my current hard drive (which is a 320gb hard drive). I know that SSD are out of my budget range as anything even reasonably priced only gives me about 200+ gb of memory. I'm wondering if anyone has had any particular experience with the Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive (found here: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ). It boasts SSD-like speeds at a fraction of the cost, and its right around my budget, but perhaps its too good to be true? I saw the other thread about this hard drive question, but it didn't seem like anyone had any personal experience with it.
    Anyways, just wondering if this one here is a truly a good deal, or if anyone has any better suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
    ********P.S. Just as a side note, I'm wanting to increase the storage on my computer because i'm wanting to use bootcamp to install windows, and I want an ample amount of space to store movies, games, pictures and music. Not sure if this is even relevant, but i'm wanting to start doing a little bit of beginners programming stuff, so i want to make sure that i'll have enough empty space on my hard drive to do whatever it is i need to do. As it is, I've got about 62gb in movies, 81gb in photos, 41gb in music and 14gb in apps.....I'm really pushing the limits of my storage......*****************

    I have two of those Seagate SSHDs, using one as the internal drive in my primary MBP.  Boot and shutoff times are dramatically less than before (using 7200 rpm HGST HDDs).  In other respects, I have no complaints regarding the drive performance.  I can recommend them based on my limited experience (~3 months).  The $99 price does look very attractive.
    Note that when you install a HDD of larger capacity in a MBP, it should be reflected in your backup strategy.  Do you have a backup drive to accommodate the additional data that you will be able to store on the new internal HDD?
    Ciao.

  • Cleaning virus-infected files on external hard drive used for Time Machine

    I am kinda reposting this with some extra explanation since I didn't really get any good respnses on my first post:
    I am running McAfee VirusScan and it locates and cleans virus infected files just fine on my computer, but when it finds infected files on the external hard drive I use for Time Machine backups, it says "Repair Failed". Is there a way to clean infected files on my Time Machine backup drive?
    I had found a virus in several documents on my Mac, which I cleaned, but it seemed to infect a bunch of the files located in Time Machine as well. I know these files shouldn't harm my Mac, but I still don't like having virus infected files. They seem to propagate and I don't want to give them to any of my Windows-using friends.

    Hi,
    Usually (but not always), virus-infected files aren't system-related, so if they cannot be repaired, there should be an option in VirusScan to delete them or quarantine them instead of repairing them. Assuming that you are archiving Mac-related files and not archives of Windows files, then it should certainly be safe to just have VirusScan delete or quarantine them. An alternative is that you could delete them manually. But before you do any of this, be sure to take a look at the filename and its location in the folder hierarchy to make sure that you aren't removing a file that's critical to the operation of some piece of software.
    Hope this helps,
    Ken

  • "Speeding up" extra internal hard drives...?

    In addition to the "stock" 250G, I've installed a 750G and a 1T. The 750G is for random storage, and the 1T is for my iTunes and video stuff, etc...
    However, every time I use iTunes, launch a file, or even bring up spotlight, etc, both drives seem to have to "get up to speed".
    This is a bit surprising, becacause I assumed if I went "internal" instead of "external" the speed of access would be at least CLOSER to that of my main drive.
    Is there any way to speed them up?
    Or, at least, keep them from constantly "going to sleep"?
    tia,
    e

    Ed,
    I have 4 internal drives and there were times when I would have to wait 5-10 seconds for multiple drives to spin up, which can be very annoying. But there is a cure.
    There is a Power Management setting called Disk Sleep Timer that can be found under the Power item in System Profiler. The default setting for Leopard is 180 minutes, but your Mac's default setting may be different. You can access System Profiler under the Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Information.
    This setting can be changed by typing the following command in Terminal:
    sudo pmset disksleep ?
    Replace the ? with the number of minutes you want to set and press <Return>, then when prompted, type in your password. If you use a setting of 0 (zero), the hard disks will never sleep, unless you checked "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver Control Pane.
    I may use a little more power having the hard drives running full time, but to me it's worth it in reduced frustration.
