Harddrive from a powerbook g4 17 into a powerbook g4 1.33 ghz with OSX Tiger already installed.

Hi,
Quick question.
I have put a harddrive from a powerbook g4 17 into a powerbook g4 1.33 ghz with Tigeralready installed.
Was this and is this a bad idea or is it ok if I just check/repairpermisions or wil this cause lots of problems and I should reinstall OSX?
I know with windows this would never work but I don’t knowif OSX really controls how the mac runs of if its just the firmware alreadythere.
First boot it worked and I was in Tiger for about 5 min but then I added ram and it just try’s to boot into OSX now but after 20min of waiting I reset the powerbook.
thanks.
Sam

thanks, I think your correct normnod but Im not sure if it includes updates and if they are machine Specific.
It was from 17 inch 1.67ghz to a 12 inch 867Mhz and like a say it boot the first time but now I get a small
blip sound when I press the power button and no dong sound so maybe I did mess something up.
I did try pulling the battery and using shift > control > option andpower and I got no boot and blank screen again
(this is model A1010) sorry its wrong title.
and then the second time I got fan sound a dvd rom drive running but nothing on the screen and again no dong.
seeing if leaving it without its battery overnight will help by resetting everything.
I might have apple jack installed on the harddrive already if thet will help? but i still need a dong to get into that.

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

Installing a ssd into a mid 2010 15 inch MBP with a clean Mavericks install

I have the above mentioned computer, and it is beginning to show signs of hard drive issues. I have tried to repair it with disk utilities, but it won't and says I need to reformat. The current hard drive is a seagate hybrid with a little ssd and a 750 gb 7200 rpm drive (the original drive was cloned over, so this hard drive's software has been in use through updates and new OS's for a little over three years now). I am running Mavericks now with no problems, but I wanted to do this before a catastrophic oops. To be honest, the hard drive probably isn't bad, just had some os read/write errors over the years that have built up (probably because this was my first mac and I did not know how to use it at first).
How do I go about upgrading to the ssd? Do I need to make a bootable usb stick so I can format the new drive and boot enough to download mavericks from the app store or does mavericks keep a portion of itself in the computer memory so it can help recover from a hard drive crash?
Honestly, I don't know what other questions to ask (yet).
David

The easiest way would be to put the SSD into a 2.5 enclosure then boot into the Recovery partition by holding down Command and R at boot. Use disk utility to prep the new drive then install to it.
Those few errors you're talking about could be due to a faulty SATA cable. That will really show itself with an SSD, so if you get a lot of errors after moving the SSD in, that's a likely culprit.
By the way, the easiest way to do this if you don't need a clean install is with Carbon Copy Cloner. Just clone your existing drive to the SSD.

Want to upgrade from Lion (Mac OS X 10,7) to Maverick (Mac OS X 10.9) with Boot Camp already installed on my hard drive?

Just get this iMac 27" Core i5 2,7GHz with a splitted Hard Drive.
Work with Lion and Window 7 and wish to rise up my hard drive section for
Mac to 10,9.5 without touching the Windows partition? Is it possible ?

Yes. Back up both systems and upgrade Mac OS X normally; you probably won't need to use the backup immediately.
Note that unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer before Yosemite came out, you won't be able to get it.

Possible to put in harddrive from a macbook pro?

Hi,
I'm selling my macbook pro. I upgraded the harddrive in it to a 320 gb harddrive, and I was wondering if it would be possible to simply take that harddrive, as is, and place it into a macbook. Would it have the drivers, etc?
Thanks!

Physically it should fit and be compatible. My guess is that it will probably boot, but could result in strange things with the drivers. Some people here have tried swapping the drive from an older MacBook to a newer Macbook, with strange results.

Can I burn "mavericks" on USB harddrive from windows ??

I have one MAC. computer , and its OS damaged ... I have "mavricks" on PC >> Can I burn it on a harddrive from PC ??
IF not __ PLZ addvaice me what i have to do >>>>>my MAC. computer can't boot and apper this

I don't know how you would get the Mavericks installer on your Windows PC.
Boot into Recovery on your Mac and reinstall the OS.
To boot into Recovery hold down cmd-r on restart.
You might just try resetting PRAM as that might fix your problem. Hold down cmd-opt-p-r after you hear the startup tone. Keep holding them until you hear the tone two more times then release.
If it doesn't boot normally, you'll need to reinstall the OS using Recovery.

Upgraded harddrive from a failing drive, can't resize the partition

I have an iMac (27 inch). I upgraded my HDD 1TB drive to a 3TB drive because my original drive was failing. I used a stand alone drive cloner (Bytecc BT-340) and after 8+ hours (because of the bad harddrive) I was able to copy the drive.
I had a bootcamp partition and I attempted to boot into windows, the computer hung up indefinitely. Upon reboot the computer would give me a progress bar under the apple logo, it would make some progress, then the computer will shut off.
I made a 2nd attempt at recovering the hard drive info successfully from the original 1TB back into the 3TB. My First step after that was to delete the bootcamp partition to make sure I wouldn't repeat the problem again. Now I can't seem to resize my 750GB partition for my 3TB harddrive. I get a message "Media Kit Reports Partition too small".
I have only attempted to use Disk Utility for this, my issue is that I don't have a reliable backup of my information. I'm only using about 25% of my hard drive capability and I would like to resize my partition but I don't want to chance relying on a failing drive as a backup. Any suggestions?

Here's your only way out. Create a new partition in the free space. Use Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper! to clone your current volume to the new, empty partition. Then verify everything is OK, delete the bottom partition and expand the remaining one.
Your alternative is to buy iPartition 3.3.1 which can handle the problem - $45.00.

When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods
Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
Here’s where I’m at now
The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV. With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
Example - In FCP Audio /Video Settings
Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
Capture Preset    - HDV
Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
With the setting above and Sony’s ilink off- window alert reads…
“Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
With the iLink on - I get the same window alert. Unless I capture in NTSC
For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

FCP 6.0.6
Mac G5
Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall. I think we have the same menu system. I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format. Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall. I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def. Best wishes.

I just changed the OS from Vista to Windows7. I have a folder on the same computer with the old iTunes library. I installed a new version of iTunes from scratch. How do I move my music library, etc from that backed up folder into the new iTunes folder.

I need help with moving my music library.
I recently upgraded the OS on my computer from Vista to Windows7.
During the process it copied my iTunes library to a folder on this same computer (marked it Windows.old)
Once the OS was done, I installed a new copy of iTunes on the Windows7 but it now has a blank library (folder)
How do I move my music from its current folder location (on this same computer) into the new iTunes library folder ???
There don't seem to be specific instructions on how to do this.

My situation may be different from yours since all mu music is ripped from cd's not bought from iTunes, but I would think the premise is the same.
Doesn't matter what is in your library.
When I moved computers I literally dragged and dropped the music where I wanted it to be. THen when I opened iTunes I imported the files back into iTUnes
This creates a new library with all the same items but you lose a lot of info: Ratings, comments, date added, custom EQ, playlists, etc.
If you simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder, it is the exact same library, not a new library. No info is lost.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.
