How come only half of my 250 gig firewire drive is available?

i just installed a new Samsung 250 gig IDE drive into a firewire enclosure. I know that there will be some overhead for formatting and such, but only 127.8 gig is available out of 250 gig. Am I missing something or is this normal. How can I get it to recognize the entire drive?

How old is that enclosure? Sounds like it has an ATA controller inside that doesn't have support for 48 bit addressing and can only address 128 gigabytes.
Send it back and get an enclosure that supports the ATA-6 48 bit addressing standard or don't use a drive larger than 128 gigabytes in it.

    Each email account can have its own alert or notification settings.

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.

  • How come only 5 users a day can access shared music?

    I just moved into the dorms, and all the other people's shared music keeps saying that it will only allow 5 users a day to access others' shared music. How can we change that so we can all share each others' music?

    Sorry, but you can't change it. That limit was incorporated into iTunes by demand of the record companies and is not user-settable.

  • HT1420 how come only certain songs are authorized on my computer but it wont allow me to authroize others?

    some of the songs on my itunes libarary are saying they are "unorthized" therefore I cant play them, it tells me that I can only authorize five computers but when i try to find and delete other devices that are authroized it says that my computer is the only one.

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
    You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

    I only subscribe to 2 podcasts. Both were transferring just fine and then one day only 1 podcast would transfer and the other one disappeared from my ipod. I am still subscribed to the missing one and I still get daily downloads to my computer. I can see it in my podcast directory on my computer and all the boxes are checked.
    Can anyone help?

    Check you iPod>Podcast settings. Is it set to only sync "unplayed podcasts" or "all podcasts".

  • How come changing from 4:3 to 16:9 no longer available ?

    Hi there,
    All these while, when I render files in FCE4, the outcome of the mov files is in 4:3 format. I always convert it to 16:9 using Quick Time Player (Ver 7.6.6) on my iMac via Windows > Show Movies Properties.
    But I just purchase a new 15" Macbook Pro & it comes with Quick Time Player ver 10. But I cannot find the option Windows > Show Movies Properties anymore ?
    1. Where is the Windows > Show Movies Properties in Quick Time Ver 10 ?
    2. Can I install both QT Player version 7.6.6 & Ver 10 together on the same machine in Macbook Pro ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can install QT Pro 7.6.6 to get the Movie Properties window.
    You should be able to copy it across from your iMac.
    QT Player 10 is something of a dumbed down version.
    You can use both on the same Mac.

    Thanks Ian, managed to download QT 7.6.6, it makes wonder why Ver 10 is a dumb down version instead ?

  • How come IMAC does not recognize my Seagate hard drive that I used to use on my PC...I have a lot of documents on this that I need to use

    Could you help me, I would like to use my Seagate hard drive that I used on my PC on my IMAC but It does not recognize it and I have a lot of documents I need on this small hard drive....

    Please provide more information. Do you mean the drive cannot be seen in Finder or on the Desktop? If it is visible in the Finder sidebar but not the Desktop you just have a setting to correct Finder - Preferences - General Tab and make sure External Disks is checked.

  • How come when I try to sync photos from iTunes to my iPhone, only half the photos show up?

    All of the photos are compatible (JPEG) for syncing, but only half of them are syncing onto my iPhone 4S.
    I'm using iPhoto 11 to manage my photos.
    Is there something wrong with the actual photos, iPhoto 11, or is it iTunes?

    Has your iPad been synced to a different computer?
    Do you have apps on your iPad that were purchased with a different iTunes account than the one you use on your computer?
    Have your ever successfully synced to your own computer before?

  • OK HERE IS WHERE I AM AT HARD DRIVE WENT DOWN UPGRADED TO A 250 GIG AND NOW NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL OSX ON THE POWERBOOK G4 17

    I have a powerbook g4 17 and it recently went down the hard drive sounded like it was eating itself so i replaced the hard drive with a 250 gig and now i need help on how to get osx onto the powerbook it will not boot from disk i will start all the back at 0s9 if need be can anyone please help me i miss my g4

    Do you have any OSX disks?
    It won't boot from the new hard drive yet because there is no OS installed.
    You need to use an OSX disk, put in your mac, then when turn on, hold down the C key (to boot from the CD).
    Hold it down for a long time until you hear it noisily reading from the CD drive.  Once OSX starts up (from CD) you should go to Disk utility and you will need to format your new hard drive.
    Once formatted, you can then install OSX. 
    Everything is done from the OSX install disk.
    If you don't have one, you can buy a retail copy from Apple (not Snow Leopard), or from Ebay.  Make sure it is a retail copy, not disks that came with a Mac as they only work with the exact model of Mac it came with.

  • Importing from an iPhoto library only half appear in the application but half are left in the library,how to move on?

    when I import from an upgraded iPhoto library half the photos appear in the application but half are left in the library. How do I get my iPhoto to show all the photos?

    Thank you this. It is the version that came with Yesomite which asked me to upgrade the file from an earlier version of iPhoto 6. This  did and it it rebuilt the Library. when I came look at the photo on the latest iPhoto only half go them appeared. I was opening the library that comes from the choice when you hold down command and option keys at the applecation start up. The other photographs were in the updated library but did not appear on the screen in the application window. They are present in the library but not showing in the application. IS that I have not given the time for them to load? This seem unlikely however. Thanks again
