Hard Drive New PS4 Question

Just bought myself a new hard drive for my ps4, I know how to swap it over but was just wondering if i need to format the new drive or create any folders or anything before i start? Or does the playstation take care of that? Mainly asking because the new drive has some seagate installer stuff pre installed (i just bought a usb 3 external drive and took the drive out of that, was cheaper lol)

yep, got the update ready, cheers. If i recall right i should also change the ps4 settings so its not primary anymore before starting?Be careful, you don't want the update file, you need the full firmware file (the is a difference, and the full firmware file is much larger)

  • New Hard Drive still have Question Mark Folder

    So I first got the 'Question Mark Folder' and had to keep running Safe Boot Mode to use computer. Finally got around to replacing the Hard Drive, but this Question Mark Folder still comes up trying to turn the computer on and now trying to setup the new hard drive. Won't let me do anything. I've tried all of the button combos/recovery mode/etc. Tried inserting both a backup disk of Mavericks and Snow Leopard, nothing. Is there any other problems that could cause this? Maybe a dead SATA cable? or something else small hopefully?

    My newest Mac just did the same "folder of death" dance. It's too late for you now, but you might consider a passport backup drive.You can get 2&3 T-bytes now fairly reasonably priced. A given with computers is they will crash, just a question of how bad and when, so you can be prepared for the next time.

  • Have macbook pro early 2011, blank hard drive (new), no install DVD, inadequate internet connection. How do I install an OS in the thing ?

    Have macbook pro 15" early 2011, blank hard drive (new), Install DVD not available and an inadequate internet connection.
    How do I install an OS in the thing ?
    Can I purchase an installation disk? (I think it originally shipped with snow leopard 10.6.6)
    My first time with Macs and I would love to get it going.
    Thanks....

    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes
    international calling numbers.
    You can upgrade the firmware to enable Network Restore: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. After upgrading you can do the following:
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • New Hard Drive: Mac Face/Question Mark on boot

    I installed a new hard drive in my fathers iBook G4 1.33 GHz and installed Leopard. I instantly had problems after the installation was complete and the computer restarted. I got the Mac Face/Question Mark for a second and then it booted to the installation CD.
    I used disk utilities to verify and repair the disk and permissions which both finished successfully. I tried to reboot with the same result: Mac Face/Question Mark for a second and then it booted to the installation CD. I decided to erase and reinstall Leopard. Installation complete - Restart - Mac Face/Question Mark. I decided to turn if off for the night.
    I powered up in the morning with short-lived success, as I got the Leopard Welcome video. I set up the system and did some software updates, which eventually required a restart. Boom. Mac Face/Question Mark. I decided to hold the option key on my next restart to see if I could select the hard drive installation over the install CD. I was able to do so, and it booted fine to the hard drive. I continued my software updating, installed some more software like iLife '08, Firefox, Open Office, Stuffit Expander, etc. After all my installation and updating, the system operates great, except when I have to start up. I still have the Mac Face/Question Mark.
    I have a theory that the hard drive jumper is set incorrectly, but I don't want to waste 45 mins. cracking the thing open to find out. Can anyone confirm? I'm open to all other theories, of course.

    No jumper means Cable Select (CS). This would mean that the cable from the motherboard to the drive has a blue connector at the motherboard and a black connector on the end where the drive plugs in. The gray connector in the middle is the Slave position. Master/Slave relationship is determined by where on the cable the device is plugged in.
    The CS cables and the setting was not used very often until around 2004 or 2005. Until that time all of the connectors on the cable were the same color and the Master/Slave setting was determined by the jumper on the drive.
    It's very possible that you are trying to use a drive that's been setup for the newer systems as Cable Select, when actually you should force the drive to be a Master by installing a jumper on the proper pins.
    Are there two deviced on the cable besides the motherboard, and are all of the connectors the same color? Or is the connector that plugs into the motherboard black? Then you are probably not looking at a CS buss.

  • Installed new hard drive and flashing question mark appears

    I bought a new hard drive for my macbook pro (mid 2009) because my original harddrive bit the dust... I purchased it off of amazon which states that its specifically for macbooks and the reviews appeared to back it up. I saw a lot of people with great reviews of the same model of macbook that I have so I figured it was the best solution.. I connected the new hard drive but I am getting the dreaded flashing folder/question mark. Is this normal before re-installing the OS x? Heres the problem, I am out of town on business and do not have the original OSx disc on hand. So my question is, is the flashing question mark normal upon installing a new harddrive? and if so, is there away to install the OSx onto the new harddrive without the disc?
    my macbook was running mavericks before the harddrive went to poo, however I did try to re-install mavericks before i ultimately realized that I needed to new harddrive. I noticed that rebooting my mac with command+r would give me the option to reinstall mavericks without a disc or anything. the next question I have is, would this still be do-able on the new harddrive? I tried the command+R option on the new harddrive but nothing happens.
    Can someone help me out here, I am getting a little desperate as I have gone over a week without my mac and theres so crucial things I need to get done! Luckily I have all my stuff backed up on an external hard drive, I just need to get the mac running again. Thanks for taking time to read!

    1. Yes, it is normal. If there's no OS on the drive, there's nothing to take the computer past that point.
    2. No, there's no way on that Mac model. You need to use an existing system(see #4).
    3. Not on that Mac model; it doesn't have the Internet Recovery system, and there isn't a recovery partition on the new drive.
    4. If the backup drive contains a bootable clone of any compatible OS, or a Time Machine backup created from Mac OS X 10.8 or newer, connect it and restart the computer with the Option key held down. If it doesn't contain either, you can't.

  • New hard drive, flashing folder/question mark

    I have a late 2009 macbook. I recently bought a 750gb seagate SATA hard drive. I tried cloning the current hard drive in disk utility which seemed to work fine but would not work when the hard drive was actually inside. Instead I simply got the flashing folder with the question mark inside.
    I tried re-formatting it and cloning it again with 'SuperDuper' but had the same problem. I restarted the macbook and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion but then it says that the hard drive is locked.
    I don't understand what could be the problem. Any ideas?

    If this is Seagate's 750 GB Hybrid (XT750) model, then you should know it doesn't always work in older Macs. Suggest you go for the XT500 model which is older and will work or do not use a hybrid model. Also, some drives that support 6 Gb/s SATA interfaces will not always work in a computer that only supports 3.0 Gb/s or less drives.
    EDIT:
    It's critical that new drives be prepared correctly as follows:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the desired hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • New hard drive, pages & keynote questions

    I recently got a new hard drive for my macbook and I lost my word, powerpoint, etc applications. I have tried to download pages and keynote from the app store, but it says that my computer needs a software upgrade. Every time I try to do this, it upgrades my computer, but I still cannot get these applications. My computer is a 10.6.8, and it says that I need a 10.7.4 for the pages and keynote. I have tried to upgrade to this, but it keeps saying that i need like 10.7 first, but I don't understand why I can't just upgrade immediately to 10.7.4. Do I really need to upgrade through every step to get to where I need to be in order to get these applications? If someone could help me I would appreciate it, I need pages and keynote for my school work.

    You need to either phone the Apple Store and order a download code for Lion, or purchase Mac OS X 10.8 if your computer is compatible, or install the DVD version of iWork.
    If you previously purchased a version of iWork compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8 from the Mac App Store, contact the Mac App Store staff.

  • Toshiba Satellite a505-6005 hard drive issue and questions regarding options I may have

    Issue: start up computer and windows does not start. It eventually goes to a startup repair screen and eventually says "resolving disk errors...", and that's if it even gets to that screen. Unfortunately I never made a recovery disk or system image discs (I know that was not smart). I did however kept my files backed up so that was good.
    Steps I took: Took it to Best Buy and the tech advised me that the Black Tie 2 year protection had expired on Jan 30th 2012, and so it could not be repaired for free. I asked the tech there how much it would cost to fix and they had advised me that it was most likely a hard drive issue and that it would cost nearly $400 to replace/fix it. So I decided to buy a new Asus K53E-BBR14 laptop since it was not much more. When I got home and loaded everything up and got the computer to how I want, I went ahead and made a recovery disc and system image disc's. I tried using the recovery disc that I had made with my Asus in the Toshiba laptop and boot it from the dvd drive and it did not get anywhere. So I ASSUME that it really is a hard drive error because the RAM worked just fine in my new laptop and "repairing disk errors.." means something is wrong with the hard drive:
    Now that you know the background of what has happened my questions are as followed:
    1. Can I buy a new hard drive for the Toshiba and use the recovery and system image disc's i created on the new hard drive that i install in the toshiba? and just removed the bloatware from Asus (or does that not even get added to the disc's I created)?
    2. If so, will it prompt me to enter the Windows 7 product key? and therefore using the product key located on the bottom of the toshiba?
    3. What other steps could I take to make this toshiba laptop salvageable? This way i can turn around and sell it.
    Thanks,
    Russell States

    Also,
    I noticed that i can purchase (well pay the shipping anyways) recovery media from Toshiba. Can I use that on a new hard drive installed in the toshiba?
    BTW ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool and no problems were found with the memory. and i do not care about the old hard drive as I have MY files backed up. I just want to try to get this toshiba laptop back to being "like new".
    Thanks,
    Russell

  • Hard drive and FCP question

    I got lots of short questions and a semi bigger one.
    I plan on editing HD and standard definition video with my iMac using FCP. My hard drive is 130 gig and I need a bigger one. My current fire wire ports on my iMac are both 400mb/sec and that is too slow for HD and I was told I cannot get that upgraded. The guy at an apple store told me iMac's use lap top hard drives and there is no big improvement from my current 130 gig.
    I looked my hard drive up and I believe it is actually a desktop hard drive if I'm not mistaken. The model number is ST3160812AS. So does that mean I can get a desk top hard drive upgrade? If so I was looking at the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 750g 7200 rpm. Is that a good choice?
    How do you upgrade to a new hard drive anyway? Who installs it? Me or can I get a professional to do it for me for a small fee? How do I get all the current data on my hard drive on to the new one?
    Where I usually do most of my editing the computers have two hard drives. One to hold the footage and transfer the data to the other one which is actually doing the editing. My film teacher says this is the best thing to do, but obviously I can't do that since two hard drives in my iMac is out of the question and I can't get a fire wire port fast enough to support a hard drive that isn't just for storage. Can that hard drive I was looking at handle doing the two processes on its own? Do I have any other options?
    Thanks in advanced.

    You shouldn't worry about the transfer rates on FireWire as much as the drives.
    Most hard drives are not going to be able to sustain transfer rates of 100 Mbps --
    you probably need an array for that. It's moot, however, if you are using consumer-grade
    HD (with rates around 25 Mbps).
    Very useful info on the video data rates on various formats, JDM -- thanks.
    However, I'm a little confused by the disk drive data rates you quoted. It appears that
    the numbers you mentioned are actually MBytes/s (MBps) rather than Mbits/s (Mbps).
    The OP's current internal HD (ST3160812AS) is a 160GB Seagate 7200.9 family drive
    spec'd at 83MBytes/s max sustained throughput. (That applies only to the outermost
    tracks, when the drive is nearly empty. It'll be about 40MBytes/s on the inner tracks.
    So, when nearly full, the internal drive is about the same speed as a FW400 external.
    The 750GB Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 is slightly faster (ca. 85-90MBytes/s maximum,
    when empty, and half of that when nearly full). That's fairly fast as today's large HDs
    go, but not quite as fast as the new Seagate 7200.11 family drives (105MBytes/s max)
    or WesternDigital's WD7500AAKS (98MBytes/s, max) -- but they're all more than fast
    enough to saturate a FW400 link, even when the external drive is nearly full.
    BTW, from the spec sheets, I see no indication that any of the four drives mentioned
    here are "green." They all have similar power requirements; if anything, the Hitachi
    consumes the most power, and the Western Digital the least. (That seems to agree
    with tomshardware.com's observation 7K1000 drives run hotter than most others.)
    It is nice to see that today's fastest 750GB drives consume no more power than the
    best-performing 160GB drives of a few years ago.

    Don't attempt to replace the drive in your iMac. Keept it for the OS and software

    Good advice! Regardless of the size of your internal drive, save the data-flogging
    for the easily-replaceable external drive.

  • External Hard Drive/Time Machine Questions

    The hard drive on my four-year-old-plus MacBook Pro is apparently failing, and I can't afford a new MacBook Pro yet. So I bought an external hard drive, hoping to clone my hard drive and run my computer off the external hard drive if the main drive crashes.
    At the moment I can't afford an Apple external hard drive, so I bought a non-Apple model. So I was surprised when it asked if I wanted to use Time Machine to back up my data while I was setting it up. I chose yes, though I'm not even sure if I've set it up correctly.
    OK, let me start from square one...
    My external hard drive has 1 TB of storage space, and I initially formatted it in one big block - no partitions. If I want to boot off a cloned hard drive, will I have to partition it, so I'm booting off a particular partition?
    If I do have to partition it, I understand I can use Apple's Disc Utilities to do the job. Can anyone tell me if there are any special steps or conventions I need to follow? I'd probably create a partition of about 200 GB for my cloned hard drive. (I'm currently using about 120GB on my internal hard drive.)
    In fact, I might make two separate 200-GB partitions, cloning my hard drive to one partition, then cloning it to the second partition a few weeks later, just for security.
    My first Time Machine backup is scheduled to begin in just half an hour or so. Will it merely copy all my files to the external hard drive, or will it create an operable clone? Approximately how long do you think this initial backup will take, using firewire?
    Also, once I get my hard drive cloned, I'm thinking of booting up with the clone and upgrading to Snow Leopard. If everything works fine, then I'll upgrade my main (internal) hard drive to Snow Leopard as well.
    Sorry for all the questions. I think I understand the basics; there are just a surprising number of details to figure out.
    When I can afford it, I hope to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro 13" or 15" and an iPad, which I'd like to take to work with me.
    Thanks for any tips.

    yes.
    you would need to partition it and use one partition for cloning and the other for TM backups.
    i don't recommend such a setup, however. it's like putting all eggs in one basket - if (not when) the external fails, you'd have lost both backups @ the same time !
    If I do have to partition it, I understand I can use Apple's Disc Utilities to do the job. Can anyone tell me if there are any special steps or conventions I need to follow?
    yes.
    you can use the instructions in [this|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] user tip.
    I'd probably create a partition of about 200 GB for my cloned hard drive. (I'm currently using about 120GB on my internal hard drive.)
    the partition for the clone needs to be just a big as your startup disk (e.g. 120 GB). the partition for TM backups, otoh, would ideally be 2-3 times the size of your startup disk.
    more information [here_|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/1.html].
    Will it merely copy all my files to the external hard drive
    it will back up everything on your startup disk unless you specifically exclude files from backups.
    or will it create an operable clone?
    no.
    use software such as _*Carbon Copy Cloner*_ to clone your system.
    Approximately how long do you think this initial backup will take, using firewire?
    the initial backup could take overnight - depending on how much data is to be backed up.
    Also, once I get my hard drive cloned, I'm thinking of booting up with the clone and upgrading to Snow Leopard. If everything works fine, then I'll upgrade my main (internal) hard drive to Snow Leopard as well.
    yes, that will work just fine. in fact, some users recommend this technique even if the internal drive is not about to fail - better muck up a clone than the regular startup disk.

  • Upgrading Itunes with an external hard drive and another question

    Okay so about a month ago I transferred my itunes library to my external hard drive. I have since purchased and downloaded new music/video to my Ipod. Here are my questions if anyone can help me please.
    1) Because I moved the library to the external, does that mean I also moved the Itunes program OR just the place where new music is downloaded/purchased and save to?
    2) Upgrading to new Itunes on this computer, will that ruin what I have in my library or just upgrade and keep everything the same like it is now?
    3) Horror story I heard is that when I upgrade, I may have to re-purchase music from Itunes in order for it to play on new Itunes. If that's true then I am paying like $400+.
    I'm not a dummy, but this Ipod and music are very, very important to me. Any help would be very appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Gusaphit

    so because you have kept your itunes folder and library on an EHD, I take it you have also deleted the actual Itunes program folder from your computer's C drive?
    Not the program folder, iTunes folder where your music library and ancillary files are kept. I haven't had my iTunes music on any internal hard drive on any computer for years.
    I am trying to delete the music/movies off of this PC as it is my work station as well.
    What steps do I need to take in order to successfully ensure that my Itunes will be secured on my EHD and fully operable should I want to add more music, purchase more music, or delete/re-arrange music as I am doing now.
    Check in Preferences>Advanced to make sure that iTunes is pointed to your EHD. If it is, you should be fine. Then, just to make sure that everything is where it should be consolidate your library: File>Library>Organize Library.
    Follow-up: If I move the program over to my EHD does that mean I can use any PC to download music into the Itunes library from my EHD?
    I don't think you want to move the iTunes.exe file to your EHD. As I understand it, iTunes isn't really happy there and it takes some work to get it there. Just move the library.
    I'm asking because you responded and you're cute.
    Very happy to help but really, I'm not that cute.

  • Macbook butchers hard drives-New hard drive where to buy and how to install

    Hey.
    I have one of the last generation Macbooks and my hard drive died on me again. this the second hard drive and I only have the device for 1 year and 10 months.
    Last time it fell under warranty but that has expired by now. So I am left with following questions:
    1) Is it normal for a Macbook to kill 2 hard drives in less then 2 years? Could it be somthing about my Macbook specific or the way that I use it?
    2) I don't really feel like spending at least 200 euro's at my Apple reseller to have a new hard disk installed... So I was wondering:
    2.a which hard drives are suited for my type Macbook
    2.b where do I find them / at which price (within Europe / Belgium)
    2.C where do I find a manual about how to install it myself?

    Hard drives do fail. That is an inescapable fact and a primary reason why backups are always recommended.
    Two hard drives to fail within two years, although unusual, would have nothing to do with your Mac and more to do with the actual hard drive.

    Replacing the hard drive in your model MacBook is very easy. Instructions on how to do so are even in the User's Manual that came with your MacBook. If you no longer have the manual, you can download it from here:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macbook
    Additionally there are also excellent tutorials on youtube - just type something like "MacBook hard drive replacement" or similar in the search field.
    Internal 2.5" SATA hard drives can be bought virtually anywhere and are very cheap - a 500GB internal 2.5" SATA hd, for example can be found on-line for as little as 50 Euros (maybe less).
    I'm in the UK and whenever I need to buy internal hard drives I do so on-line from ebuyer.com:

    Other similar sites are equally as good.

  • Hard Drive, Bridge CS4 QUESTION

    Yesterday my Seagate 1 TB hard drive (fairly new) was acting strange in relationship to Bridge CS4.  Bridge was having problems reading the files from it and the light on the hard drive was dimming and brightening up in repetitive fashion.  I always back up, but just got back from Africa and have about 4000 images on that drive yet to be backed up, so this scares me.
    Strange thing is that when I go to the drive through Windows (XP) the drive acts fine and the images come up fine and they come up fine in PS too.  So this makes me wonder if this is an issue with Bridge.  I have had some Bridge issues in the past and have thought about re installing PS and Bridge.
    Question is: do you think the problem is with Bridge as apposed to the hard drive?
    Thank you.

    It could be due to the process of indexing the new files.
    Is your cache big enough? Have you purged it lately?

  • Disappearing Hard Drive, new Mac Pro

    I have a brand new Mac Pro with 5 hard drives installed.  My "MacHD" home drive is a 1TB that came with the computer and I installed 4 more Samsung 2TB drives into the available bays plus rigged up a bay in one of the CD trays areas.  These drives are named "Drive 1/2/3/4" 
    Yesterday I hooked up a Lacie Minimus 2TB external to my computer for the first time and went through the setup and formatting process to make it one large drive on the mac.  Then I named the drive "Portable 2TB" and copied over one large folder (1.15 TB) from "Drive 1" on my computer to the "Portable 2TB" Lacie drive that I just hooked up.  It took 4 hours and then I shut down my computer for the night and everything seemed OK.
    This morning when I turn on my computer, my Samsung "Drive 4" internal drive somehow thinks that it's the Lacie "Portable 2TB" drive.  ALL THE INFO THAT WAS ON "DRIVE 4" is gone and it's just that 1 large folder that I copied over to the external drive yesterday.  What was yesterday called "Drive 4" on my desktop is now named "Portable 2TB" and there is even a Lacie logo!  I go into disk utility and it still says it's a Samsung drive.
    My question is:  what is going on here?  Is it possible that the Lacie setup process I went through yesterday formatted the wrong drive on my computer?  Did it reformat "Drive 4" instead the Lacie external like it was supposed to? 
    Another clue: when I attached the external again this morning it made me go through the formatting process again, as if I had never formatted it yesterday and never copied that huge folder over to it...

    In that case, your question should be addressed to LaCie tech support. I have no idea what their software does. Apparently what it does isn't very desirable.
