Hard Drive Format after installing Tiger?

Hello!
I recently bought OSX Tiger and upgraded my system, after stalling for so long. It works great, for the most part. The one problem I am having with it is pretty major though.
I work with ProTools as a musician, and ever since I have installed Tiger, when I go to start a new session, it says 'Session must be on an audio record volume.' I went into 'Show Workspace' to try to assign it as an audio record volume, but then it says it isn't a valid audio volume. I know this is false because I was just recording on it last week when I had Panther as my OS!
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

If you don't get an answer here, you might try the ProTools forums or the Apple forums where the music makers hang out (Logic):

  • My Hard drive will not install tiger..

    I got a new hard drive and i believe i formatted it correctly but when i put the second disc of tiger in, it freezes! can anyone help?! I've used these discs before and they have worked!

    You must put in the language 1st.
    That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

  • Hard drive unusable after installing in powered on MBP

    Hey all,
    I have a 2010 13'' MBP that has a 250GB hard drive, and recently I had a chance to upgrade to a 2010 15'' model. Since the previous owner planned to move his HDD out of the Mac, I would have to install my own HDD. I've nearly filled the drive to capacity, so I decided to upgrade to a bigger hard drive, and then put that in the bigger MBP. I got a 320GB laptop drive, performed a fresh install of Mavericks on it, and during the initial run with Setup Assistant I migrated everything off of the 250 to the new drive. After the setup was complete, I booted into the fresh install with my data to ensure everything was working, and it appeared that it was fine. I then shut off the machine, and disconnected the 320GB from the Mac.
    I opened up the 15'' MBP, removed the prior owner's HDD, and replaced it with my new 320GB HDD. What I didn't know was that the MBP was still powered on: it was simply in sleep mode with the lid closed. I hadn't thought to check to ensure that the Mac was off before I did the drive replacement.
    As a result, when I opened the lid on the Macbook, the machine woke up, and was still displaying his desktop and open applications. I quickly closed out of all the applications and shut the laptop off. When I rebooted, it was as I feared: the machine went straight to the OS X Utilities menu, and when I attempted to repair the drive in Disk Utility, I was warned that the drive couldn't be repaired. The drive also did not appear with the Mac partition in Disk Utility: it was just displayed as disk0s2.
    I've tried repairing the drive with Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, and Drive Genius, and none of them have been able to recover/repair the parition. Is it possible that when I replaced the hard drive while the MBP was still powered on, the current session somehow damaged the hard drive's partition or file table?

    Based on your description, you closed applications that were opened with another drive. This would certainly seem to have the potential to really screw things up. Given the situation, it probably would have been better to hold down the power key and do a hard shutdown to prevent writing anything to the wrong disk.
    Why not just reinstall? You've tried pretty much everything else. Repartition and reformat your drive first, then migrate from the old one.

  • New hard drive - format and install OS X

    My old hard drive crashed and I replaced it with a new one on my IMac 27" (EMC no 2374). Now I am trying to install it OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard threw a flash drive because I don't have the cd but it freezes. When pressing Option at startup I get the the choice to install Max OS X but when I press enter it freezes with the Apple logo on the screen. The keyboard (wired) dies, also the mouse.
    Must I have the cd to format a new hard drive or is there any other way?

    You'll need to contact Apple and order a set of Original System Discs for your model iMac for a small fee.
    Not sure where you got the USB of Snow Leopard but USB sticks of Snow Leopard only came with the Air model Mac computers and that won't work on a iMac. It is Model Specific as are the discs that come with all Mac computer when Mac computers came with DVD discs or thumb drives.
    You'll need them anyway to reinstall the included iLife Apps. Those aren't included with OS X.

  • Hard drive halved after installing os x mavericks

    I updated a macbook pro to mavericks from mountain lion and when it was done my data was gone and the hard drive is now only 250 GB instead of 500GB
    Please help. how can i get my data back and what happed to the hhd
    thx in advance

    I had the same problem when I installed Leopard. I re-partitioned and re-formatted the drive and everything has been happy since. I know Leopard and Time Machine do some new, low-level things to external hard drives so it may be that the file system really is corrupt but it doesn't bother any other systems.
    I don't if any 3rd party disk repair tools could repair the drive. Such tools aren't much cheaper than a new drive anyway. Plus, hard drives aren't as reliable as they used to be. It is always good to have a new external drive on deck these days.

  • Hard drives damaged after installing Snow Leopard :(

    After installing Snow Leopard all software seemed to work fine. Then I found out that e-sata doesn't seem to work well with Snow.
    I've tried two different e-sata cards, including CalDigit's FASTA-2e, which CalDigit claims works fine with 10.6.
    My external enclosure appeared and immediately gave me a kernel panic. I tried several times with different working drives and now they are all heavily damaged. Kernal panic after kernal panic, I am noe having a difficult time accessing the data.
    Now here's the strange part...after going back to Leopard 10.5, my internal drives all seemed to be infected as well. After using Disk Warrior and apple's disc utility, I got those working ok.
    What could be going wrong here? I installed Snow. It was fast. But it wasn't worth it...at least not yet.
    If there's anything else I might be doing wrong or any way to fix these drives now, please let me know.
    Thanks all!

    It seems that Sonnet is not yet compatible with Snow Leopard either. That issue was covered here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2114442&tstart=0.
    Anyone know if RocketRAID eSATA for Mac works with Snow? Apple sells it...

  • Hard Drive Fail after install Photoshop CS6?

    Hi! I downloaded Photoshop CS6 six days ago. Three days later my hard drive failed... and now can not find the installation. The repair put my system back to a previous time when the computer worked fine. Did this erase the install???
    Thanks,

    What is your operating system & version?
    If Windows, how was the system reset - by System Restore?  Or a complete restore from backup?
    While a System Restore will leave the installed programs in your Program Files, all registry data and system files will have disappeared.  So either way you will have to reinstall.

  • Where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?, where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?

    I'm looking in finder but can no longer see the hard drive. Where has it gone to?

    If I understand correctly, you can edit what is shown in the side bar within the "Finder Preferences".
    under the "sidebar" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown in the side bar of Finder.
    under the "General" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown on the desktop.
    Hope this is what you are after and this helps.

  • Hard drive disappears after install of 10.4.3

    Just upgraded from 10.2.7 to 10.4.3,
    I have a powermac G4 with 4 hard drives (two 40gb and two 120gb). The two 40gb and one 120gb drives were recognized after the upgrade, but the other 120gb does not show up anywhere, including disk utility. All drives have been functioning properly prior to the upgrade. I also have one internal superdrive and one external DVD-R drive (both are recognized).
    Any ideas appreciated...thanks in advance,
    -Erik

    if thats the case then it most likelyt is a hardware issue and not a problem with os 10.4 it might be worth your while to make sure though and find someone with a 10.2 or 10.3 disc an see if its listed in that setup, or you could check to see if that hardrive is visable in another computer that would at least rule out the possibility of the harddrive malfunctioning, but you may7 just also want to try another harddrive bay it could just be as simple as the serial cable being toast or at worst one of the buses being toast, but i believee your mac has four bays so definatly try that. and if worst comes to worst and none of these things seem to work then try calling apple.
    i hope one of these things will help and give you insight on this issue, good luck!

  • I want to clean out my hard drive and re-install Tiger

    I am copying my user folder and bringing it on to an external Hard drive. Is there anything that I should know before I do this. How do I make sure that I'm not deleting anything that I don't want to be deleted. What are some things I need to know. thanks

    You may want to clone your whole drive to the External HD with Carbon Copy Cloner...

  • After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

    After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

    You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

  • Hard drive formatting problem

    Hi there,
    I've been stupid and I'm looking for some advice.  What happened was I went and tried to install Windows 8.1 on my iMac, had a problem with the installation process and whilst in the Windows installer, I ended up screwing up a partition which has ended up as free space which OSX disk utility won't let me format, delete or repartition.  It won't work either from within Mavericks or when booted from either a recovery disk or a USB drive Mavericks installer.  I've got everything backed up so a complete hard drive format is fine, in fact I already tried that, so starting from scratch might be easiest. If anybody has any ideas how I could fix this I'd be grateful.
    At the moment the drive is showing four partitions, Macintosh HD is 2.5TB OS Extended (Journaled), disk1s4 is 314.6MB OS Extended (Journaled), disk1s6 is 134.2MB OS Extended (Journaled) and Free Space is 499.98GB Free Space.
    Macintosh HD is working fine.
    disk1s4 I'm unable to delete, merge or reformat.
    disk1s6 is between a rock and a hard place, because...
    Free Space is just flat out unusable.
    System is 27" iMac 3.5GHz Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 3.12TB Fusion Drive
    Any help would be appreciated, I'll try not to screw up this time...
    Thanks,
    Kev

    Hi malevolus,
    It looks like the partition map of your iMac’s fusion drive is corrupted. Fortunately since you have a backup of everything, we don’t have to worry about data loss. Reformatting of a fusion drive does require some special steps though. See this article -
    Mac mini (Late 2012), iMac (Late 2012 and later): About Fusion Drive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5446
    In Particular -
    Troubleshooting
    The version of Disk Utility that comes with Fusion Drive is unique. Earlier versions of Disk Utility can't be used with a Fusion Drive.
    If your system will not start because you see a flashing question mark or another alert:
    Press the Power button and hold it down to power off your system.
    Press the Power button again. After you hear the startup chime, press and hold Command-Option-R to start up to the Internet version of Mountain Lion Recovery.
    A globe should appear with a "Starting Internet Recovery" message. It is now OK to release Command-Option-R. 
    A progress bar should appear and Internet Recovery should start and ask you to select a language.
    Once you select a language, click Disk Utility in the window that appears and then click Continue.
    If your Fusion Drive can be fixed with Disk Utility, you'll see a Disk icon with red lettering. Click the disk icon.
    A dialog box appears offering to fix the Fusion Drive (shown above). Caution: Clicking Fix will erase your Fusion Drive. If you have a Time Machine backup of your Fusion Drive Mac, see Mac 101: Time Machine for information on how to restore from a Time Machine backup once the drive has been erased.
              8.  After the process is complete, the volume will change color to black. Quit Disk Utility, click Install Mac OS X, then click Continue to reinstall OS X                         Mountain Lion.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
