Getting the computer to recognize the new HD

I just installed a second hard drive in my computer, but when I booted up my machine, I can't seem to find it. How can I get my computer to recognize this second one? I'm pretty sure I installed everything properly, but I'll check again if people think that I may have messed up. Thanks for your help.

Lou,
the front drive bay in the MDD's is on a separate bus from the optical drives - ATA66 for the front bays and ATA33 for the opticals. Drives in the front bay should be set to Cable Select, main (Master) drive on the end black connector unless there are problems with drive addressing with two drives in the bay, in which case you go to Master/Slave jumper settings.
And although the ATA66 bus is slower than the main ATA100 bus for the back bay, the performance hit is negligible in average use and you actually get better drive-to-drive copy speeds with the two drives on separate buses.

  • How do I get my computer to recognize my new iPhone?

    I have a new iphone and I would like to transfer my music files etc. to my new phone but when I plug my new phone into my computer, nothing happens.

    Thank you.  A little more information, like where the menu is--would make the answer perfect. I did find the answer and did managed to authorize the computer so I saved the app to Itunes.  Happy for the quick response.

  • I have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update..  how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

    i have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update..  how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

    First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • When trying to get my music from itunes a message pops up on my computer stating the disk cannot be found, what is this? I cant get the new music i purchased

    when trynig to get new music from itunes a message pops up on my computer saying the disk cannot be found. I dont know what this is, now i cannot not only get the new music i just purchased i seem to have lost all of my other music i already has as well. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem a get all my music back?

    Thanks for all of your help. Took the old girl in to a techie at London Drugs and my HD had failed, simple mechanical failure after 5 years of useful service. They mentioned that it was a pretty massive failure as they were unable to extract ANY information whatsoever. For those of you wondering what the warning signs were: slowing down of all processes, especially opening applications; freezing up when running an internet applcation and browsing at the same time; occasional starting up with a flashing folder with the dreaded ? (which would restart the first few times once I disconnected all peripherals, including the keyboard); finally full failure with only a white screen showing upon start up.
    I am getting a new HD, will reinstall from Time Machine and there will be peace in the valley.

  • Our computer died the other day. I was therefore unable to deactivate it. How do I reinstall it when I get the new desktop?

    Because our desktop computer died several days ago, I was obviously unable to deactivate Photoshop 6. Once I get the new desktop, how do I go about re-installing it?

    You can activate on up to 2 computers. If you have not used up the second activation, you can go ahead and install/activate on the new one and call Customer Service to release or reset your activations.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

    Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?

    BUMP.
    I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:

  • Getting the New software 6.0 For blackberry curve

    I would like to get the new software for my curve but i dont know how to. i havent gotten an update and i keep checking. is there any way to put it on by going to a verizon store or off the website?

    Hi,
    To update your Blackberry Operating System (OS) software, follow the instructions I will provide.  You can check which version your device is running by going to Options>About on your device.  Here are the instructions:
    How to Update your Blackberry’s Software
    1. On your computer, download and install Blackberry Desktop Manager (BDM). The program can be found on the CD that came with your Blackberry or from Blackberry’s web site at the following URL: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/  
    2. Download the upgrade file for your device. This can be done from the vendor’s web site, such as Verizon’s at http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/  
    3. Click on the downloaded upgrade file and install that file your computer. Now the upgrade file will be integrated into BDM.
    4. Attach your Blackberry device to your computer and backup your device’s settings before upgrading. This is important so that you do not have to enter your contacts, etc back into your phone again.
    5. After backing up, you are ready to begin. With BDM running on your computer, click on Application Loader.
    6. Under Update Software, click on Start.
    7. Now you will be presented with a list of available software upgrade options. Select the proper upgrade by placing a check mark next to the one you want to install and click next.
    8. Follow the prompts and your software will install on your device. It is important to remember that the whole process can take 30-45 minutes. Do not unplug your Blackberry from your computer during the upgrade.
    9. Once you receive the message on your computer the process is complete, you are done.
    Hope this helps,
    Doc
