How do I get my power mac g5 to see my WD Velociraptor WD5000HHTZ

I have purchased a new WD Velociraptor WD5000HHTZ for my Power Mac G5. No matter which tray I put it in on boot the Power Mac does not see the hard drive yet if I put it in an external drive it sees it no problem. Any Ideas.

According to this note SATA controller of your Mac is compatible with 1.5 Gb/s SATA drivers.
Western Digital WD5000HHTZ is a SATA 6 Gb/s.

  • How do I get the Power Mac Quicksilver 867mhz software?

    I got the computer at a university surplus sale with no hard drive.  It seems to power on  fine but of course has no OS.  I put a hard drive in it and tried to load OS 10.3.5 from gray discs that came with an Ibook G4 but it said "bundled software cannot be installed on this computer."   The unit originally shipped with some version of OS 9xx.   What OS software will load on this machine to get it going?
    Thanks!!

    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire

    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

  • I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

      I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

    That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

  • I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

  • How do I get documents from mac to iPad

    How do I get documents from Mac to iPad?

    If you just have a few that you want to view, you can e-mail them to yourself and use the viewer in the mail app to view them.
    If you have several or want to save them on the iPad or edit them then you'll need an app. Apple has iPad versions of Pages, numbers and keynote that should sync between your mac and iPad.

  • How  can I get rid of "Mac Protector" ad?

    How can I get rid of "Mac Protector" ad?

    To get rid of it, just force quit the browser. If you installled it, or its installer ran:
    First, restart in Safe Boot by holding the Shift key down at the chime. Or, alternatively, open Activity Monitor in Utilities, set to Active Processes, find the program and force quit it. This will keep it from running, so you can remove it.
        1.    Drag the MacSecurity program -- or whatever it's called, MAC Defender, MacProtector (installed in the Applications folder by default) to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
        2.    Remove item of same name from the Login Items for your Account in the OS X System Preferences (if it exists).
        3.    Go to your Home folder Library>Preferences and Application Support (may not be one there) and search for any files with one of the above names and trash them. Empty the trash.
        4.    If you use Safari, go to Preferences>General and UNCHECK "Open "safe" files after downloading. Keep that unchecked.
    If you paid for it, they have your credit card #. Call your credit card and dispute the charges. Also, cancel the card ASAP.
    As a precaution, change your password.

  • HT1600 how can i get my lion mac to mirror?

    how can i get my lion mac to mirror?

    What Mac do you have, only early 2011 or later (mid 2011 for some) supports mirror, even with Mountain Lion.  If you mac is older it won't work.  You can get an app such as airparrot to to it for about 10 bucks.
    If you mac is a 2011 or later, when you are on the same network as your apple tv, home sharing on and all set up the mirror icon should be next to the clock and be good to use.
    Good luck,

    I have to use microsoft office 2007 and 2003 for windows and I'm using a macbook pro, How i can get the on mac?

    You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.
