Help! i lost my drive (and my iweb site material)

i lost my drive and don't want to lose the site i designed. how do i get my pages from the site to my macbook so i can continue to update?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I suggest you go to varkgirl's site and download her Automator application to backup the Domain.site file frequently (after each edit or session on it):

Of course this won't protect against a drive loss unless you're backing up to another HD (which IMO is really cost effective insurance against data loss).
Do you Twango?

Help with new hard drive and data recovery

I have a macbook pro 13" from early 2011...last week the hard drive crashed and after a few hours at the genius bar had to got tekserv to recover my data and get a new hard drive and update to 8GB of Ram. When I got my macbook back I was given an external hard drive that had everything from my old hard drive saved by the users on the old hard drive. I was hoping I could just transfer the user over to the new hard drive but since I had to restart the computer as a new computer I am not able to just reassign my old profile as the new one on this laptop. Maybe I've done something wrong but at this point I transferred all my documents over, moved my music and pictures over but I have a few things I can't figure out that I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. Do emails that were in my mail program from both gmail and my verizon.net program get saved somewhere or do I have to just assume those were lost?
2. my iTunes library is now there but none of my playlists are there. Should those have been saved somewhere in my iTunes folder that I should see them? I'm concerned about syncing my iPhone or iPads to iTunes without those there.
thanks for the help.

Desperate Help Needed - Lost Hard Drive

The story goes ....
Last night I added a new account to my G5Imac and put some parental controls on and everything seemed fine.
I logged out of that and went back to log into my account (administrator account) and everything fine.
Shut down the computer and logged in this morning into my account and I have lost all my photos, movies and music etc.
I have checked the Hard Drive and it says that out of the 240GB I have 65GB left which would suggest that all my stuff is there somewhere.
Can anyone help me on this ?
I dont fancy losing 4,000 photos and 40GB of music !!!
Help before I panic !

Neil Egan-
Try logging out.
Log back in under the original administrator of the "amystest" Mac.
From amystest you should be able to see NEIL'S MAC.

Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
And your data drive to 60%.
Backups can go a little higher.
Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
Why?
To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Need help finding lost hard drive space on my Power Mac G4

I have a Power Mac G4 that is just about out of hard drive space. Why? I have no idea. I only have about 7 MB left of the 512 MB that came on the machine. I have backed up most pictures, documents, etc... to an external hard drive and have barely anything left on the desk top. Does anyone know what might be working 'behind the scenes' to eat up hard drive space or what I can do to gain any back? I'm not a huge 'techie' so any advice past 'empty the trash' would probably be helpful.
Thanks very much for anything you can do for me.
Tony

I believe you mean GB instead of MB when referring to hard drive size/space.

Help! Erased Hard Drive and can't get my library from my iPod to my HD

HELP! I recently had to erase my hard drive and start fresh. I have Mac OS X 10.3.9 cleanly installed. I now have the problem that I can't get my music library from my iPod to iTunes. Many, many hours went into transferring my CD collection into iTunes. I can't fathom going through all of that again! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can download the songs from your iPod back to your HD with several freeware programs, try out Senuti:
http://wbyoung.ambitiouslemon.com/senuti/
I had the same problem and after installing my OS new i was able to copy back all the songs from my iPod to iTunes. Wasn't able though to keep the playlists, but maybe you find a way how to copy the songs including playlists.
Hope that helped,

Help! Lost the Driver's CD

Is there anyway to find the drivers that came with the MSI FISR mobo? I lost the CD.

...download it to a floppy, it's a small zipped file...go to My Computer A Drive and right click the folder and choose Extract All...make sure the extracted files are put on the floppy...
...put that floppy into the needy machine and go to the Device Manager (press Windows Key + Pause/Break key > Hardware tab > Device Manager)...find the network adapter, right click it and choose Properties...click the Driver tab and select Update Driver...just follow the wizard, it will search removable media (the floppy) and install the driver...
...sounds complicated, but it's not...

NEED HELP BADLY W/ USB DRIVE AND iBOOK!!!

I have an ibook 1.2 ghz and store everything (music,pics,etc.) on a Seagate USB 100 GB hard drive. Well, last night, the usb plug came out of the hard drive and now my ibook does not recognize my drive. When I plug in my drive, it says " THE DISK YOU INSERTED IS NOT READABLE BY THIS COMPUTER" and 3 choices INITIALIZE , IGNORE or EJECT. However, I downloaded a demo called Filesalvage, and it showed all of my files were still on my drive. Everything I own is on this drive 60 gigs of music, 15 gigs of photos. Can someone please shed some light on whats going on and how I can restore my drive back to normal?
I do own Tech Tool Pro 4. Can I use Tech Tool without spending 90 bucks on File Salvage? Any help is greatly appreciated.

HELP!! my laptop says that I've lost my driver and I cannot use my dvd rw!!

I cannot seem to find my driver!! It's gone! And I have tried reloading it,but my dvd drive doessb't work! How can I get it reinstalled? I have a Compaq presario ,CQ60 615DX

Hi,
The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook. So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the CD or DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD. Download the relevant ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a CD and then also burn it to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, insert the CD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart the notebook again to see if it will also boot from this disc. If the notebook will not boot from the CD, it may just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart to see if it will boot from this disc.
Let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

Lost Hard Drive and didn't back up Itunes

Help.... Need some basic information here. My hard drive was corrupt and needed to be replaced....needless to say I did not backup my Itunes before my computer died. I have all of my songs in my IPOD, but am afraid to connect to the re-installed ITunes software since there are no songs in the new library. I am afraid the songs currently on my Ipod will be lost if I reconnect to new Itunes that has nothing. Also, I downloaded the Itunes off the web, but I am thinking I need to re-install the ipod software as well. In the meantime, I cannot download any more songs to my ipod. Thanks for any help!

ITunes library help - moved to external drive and now my apps are gone?

I moved my iTunes library to an external drive, but now my apps are gone? I do have iTunes match and iCloud, so my songs are all on the cloud, but none of my apps are showing...
I copied everything over, consolidated, but I must have messed something up as I think I have too many library files on the external drive now. I can see all my files on the external drive, but they are not showing up when I open itunes. It looks like it linked to a new copy of a library as only my most recent apps are showing, nad none of my existing ones are on itunes. What should I do to fix this? How do I know which files to delete?
Thanks.

I followed the instructions from Apple support to move itunes to an external drive, did what it said (obviously I messed something up). I then started itunes and missed the part where it says to tell itunes where the library was, and consequently itunes created a new library with none of my apps or anything in it.
All of my music is on icloud and I als ohave itunes match, so all of my music is on the cloud.
I have read some of the other postings to delete the newly made (and missing apps) itunes library file and ithen point it to the correct library file, but I am now paranoid I would delete the wrong one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Need help installing new hard drive and wiping the old one for Windows XP.

I’ve searched to try and figure out the answer to my question and haven’t been too successful, so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a new Mac Pro that I haven’t even turned it on yet because I’m waiting for some upgrades to show up. Here is what I plan to do, I’m unsure of what I need to do and what order to do it in:
It has a stock 250GB hard drive that I plan to wipe and install Windows XP on. I have a new 750GB drive coming that will run Leopard which will be my primary OS. Once I have this set up, I will probably try running VM Fusion which I assume I can install later on. Here are my questions:
When I put my new blank 750GB drive in to install Leopard, will OS X boot up off the Leopard install disc to then allow me to do the install?
When do I wipe the smaller drive to put Windows on it, before or after I’ve installed Leopard on the new drive? How should I wipe it, using the Bootcamp setup assistant or Disc Utility? If I wipe it after installing Leopard, will I be prompted for which drive to boot from?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use Windows, but I think the proper order to do things would be this:
First, if your Mac Pro came with Tiger installed, when you start it up for the first time, you'll need to go through some initial setup, create an administrator account, etc. You can go ahead and do this.
Afterwards, you can install your 750 GB drive. Next, you can insert your Leopard disk, and go to System Preferences/Startup Disk to choose to start up from the disk. (Alternatively, if you just choose "Install Mac OS X" from the disk, it will instruct you to restart the mac.)
When the mac boots from the disc, install Leopard on your 750. Once you have that done, and have booted from that drive, you'll be able to erase your 250 in Disk Utility, and then install Windows on it.
