Help with external hard drive please????

I am ready to chuck my computer out of the window I am so frustrated!! I really hope someone can help... Fingers crossed, here goes...
I have two macs - a MacBook running OSX 4.11 and an iBook G4 running OSX 3.9. I also have an Iomega external hard drive. I reformatted it when I bought it for the MacBook, and have been using it fine.
Now, I want to move a load of music from my iBook to the external hard drive. But when I plug in the hard drive, the iBook says 'MAC OSX CANNOT READ THE VOLUMES INSERTED' and gives me options of initialize, cancel, or eject.
I don't want to initialize as I'm assuming this will re-re-format the ex hd and lose the stuff I have on there already.
Is this the case?
Why won't the Iomega talk to the iBook? (the Iomega website says macs need no drivers for their products...)
Can anyone think of any genius ideas for getting the info off the iBook? Bearing in mind that there is no DVD writer, my internet connection is a teeny 2mb/s and the largest alternative storage device I have is a 2 gigabyte photo card (which i have been using, painstakingly, but is causing me massive grief by taking all night to upload from the ibook and then all day to transfer to the hard drive via the macbook, and losing a bunch of files in the process => AAAAAGH!!!!!). I've also tried firewiring the ibook and macbook together but they don't recognise each other. I created a network and accessed the iomega from the ibook via that but the 2mb/s broadband was so slow it would have taken all week, and the machines crashed anyway.
Thoughts? Ideas? Inspiration? Magic wand????
THANKS

Ok, deep breath & relax...
What format & partition table is the drive in?
On the macbook with drive installed, Open up Mac HD/Applications/Disk Utility.app
Select the drive from the list. If the partition scheme is GUID, then 10.3 won't be able to see it.
& changing requires a reformat of the drive.
So, what I would do is hold T while booting the macbook until the firewire logo shows on the screen. plug the 2 macs together via firewire 400 cable. your macbook should now show up as a firewire drive on the ibook.
drag & drop the files you want to move. eject the drive when done & press power on the macbook to exit this mode. press power again to boot.

Need help with external hard drive!

Hi all,
I have been having trouble with my external hard drive.
My mac is reading the disk however all my files from the hard drive are missing?
In disk utility is seems to show that there are files on the disk but I cannot see them?
At the bottom is shows that there are files on the disk!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Here is a screenshot of my disk utility

Ok just to clarify the format issue...
Just move the data from the external drive, format and then move it back if you want, as JiveMasterT explained.
If the external drive is FAT file system, then you don't need to format the drive unless you are planning on using the drive as an OSX backup.

Help with external hard drive connection

I have two external hard drives. One is connected to my PCMCIA card firewire and the other to the original firewire port. When I get into the final cut pro program, the program shows little red slashes through my different things that I have put into the computer. I need to know how to retrieve those files. The computer does show that the external hard drive is connected, but it shows that the media is offline. I have done this before I just want to know how to reconect the media. I think it should be easy. Please help.

Have a read of of your Final Cut manuals, Volume IV, Chapter 6, Reconnecting Clips and Offline Media, then experiment with ctrl-clicking the offline files and selecting Reconnect Media.
If all is well and you have a good naming convention for your clips, a simple search should reconnect everything. If you have changed volume names or have a whole collection of files named 'Untitled Capture' then you may be in more trouble.

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:

Help with External Hard Drive

Ok, I have all my music on an external hard drive, and a brand new version of itunes that is completely blank. I'm trying to transfer the music from my external hard drive into Itunes but am having trouble. I've gone to file - add to library - and then chosen my music folder in the external hard drive, and Itunes starts to look like it'll load the songs in, but then nothing happens and the main song menu remains completely blank. Any ideas?

Help with external hard drive and firewire?

2 questions: 1) Does anyone know if there is a hub made for the firewire 800 to allow more than 1 device to be hooked up at 1 time? ex... capture deck and external hard drive.
2) I was cleaning up my external hard drive. I ejected it and now it won't come back on line when it is plugged in. Any Advice?

Most external FW enclosures have 2xFW800 ports that allow daisy-chaining multiple drives.
There are FW800 hubs available, but I don't recommend them if you intend to use with a camcorder or deck. Ditto regarding daisy-chaining a camcorder or deck with a FW drive ... the camcorder/deck usually locks up the FW bus if you have daisy-chained it with a FW drive.

I once had a connection failure to an external Firewire Hard drive. It turned out that the Firewire port on the iMac had stopped working. The eventual solution that solved it and got the Firewire port working again was to reset the SMC and Reset the PRAM:
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Help with new Hard drive Please!!

HI
I have a K8n Neo that i have been running fine with a 80GB edie hard drive that has been running fine for the last 3 months.
But i decided to upgrade to a SATA hard drive ( Samsung 160gb spinpoint )
So i fitted the hard drive connected all ok!
But when i try to load windows xp pro i get a error!
It says:-
An error occurred while setup was updating partition information on:
131070 mb disk0 at id0 on bus0 on atapi [MBR] set-up cannot continue??
I do not think it can be the hard drive as this is the secound one that i have tried!
Can someone PLEASE help me before i go MAD!!
Lots of thanks
Numpty 69

numpty,
the following steps helped me to seamlessly migrate from IDE to a 160 GB SATA Maxtor.
First of all I hope you still have your old IDE HD set-up as a bootable device with OS installed. Unplug your SATA drive and revert to your old PATA drive as boot.
Second, shut down your computer, plug in your new SATA drive and follow this thread for single SATA drive set-up Single SATA or Multiple Drive Array Setup FAQ
save and exit BIOS, re-boot and enter BIOS again. You should now see your SATA drive in the boot order.
Except: I do not see from your specs whether you run XP with SP2. If not, you ran into the issue of the 128 GB limit and XP will not recognize your drive.
Do not set it as boot yet. For me, it even worked out to turn off SATA RAID again.
Third, boot OS from PATA drive. XP should now recognize your new SATA drive and start installing the SATA drivers (I used the nForce 5.10 and had no issues). Re-boot into OS, you should now see all drives with proper drivers installed in the hardware tab.
Fourth, get yourself a HD cloning tool. I used True Image 8.0 but there should be enough freeware cloning tools around, maybe even from the HD manufacturer itself and clone your old PATA drive to the new SATA.
Fifth, re-boot into BIOS and set the SATA drive as boot now. Save and exit BIOS, re-boot and XP should now be starting from the SATA drive.
Hope it works, I keep my fingers crossed

Need help with replacing hard drive please

Can I upgrade to a hard drive that has SATA 3 interface with my Macbook Pro mid 2009 model?

It may well work and be backward compatible as jk said, however your machine was spec'd for one type of drive. For me, even if the older technology for the same capacity was slightly more in cost, I'd want to put that in my machine rather than something that may not be fully compatible. Just my opinion.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Issues with External Hard Drives

I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

Permissions repair complete
My concerns are:
* Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
* There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
Thanks!!

Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

How do I transfer photos from mac to external hard drive please

How do I transfer photos to a external hard drive please?

This answer may need to be expanded a bit. If your photos are in iPhoto and you are moving iPhoto's library to an external drive, once you've dragged the library to the external drive you'll need to let iPhoto know the library has moved. Hold the option key and double-click iPhoto (or click on the iPhoto icon on the Dock). You'll get a fileselector menu to select the library - point it to the external drive. Once you've established that the copied library has copied correctly you may drag the library on your computer to the trash and empty the trash.
Warning: You do have a backup of your entire computer, right? Just in case something goes awry with the process having a backup is always a good idea.
