How do you clean or de-frag iMac Hard Drive

My Imac runs slows and frequently get the spinning wheel and apps become unresponsive.
How can I do a HD check and also de-frag the disk?

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • How do you save your DVD to your Hard Drive, and then convert to iPod?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering how you save your DVD to your hard drive and then convert it to the iPod Video.
    Please respond.
    P.S.
    I know that it's been discussed all the time, but none of the posts are useful for me.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

  • How do I get info off my iMac hard drive now that it's out of the computer?

    I was in a car accident recently. I'm okay, but I'm afraid my iMac did not survive. Before taking it to the insurance company to drop off the computer for reimbursement, I brought my computer to my local Apple Store to see if they could extract the data from the hard drive. (I've had this thing for years, so one can see that I would like to have what's on it.)
    The Apple Store regretfully told me that they did not do this type of work and referred me to a nearby tech store that specialized in extracting data. I went there and they quoted me $80 for the hard drive's physical extraction and then another $30 for the information to be transferred onto a USB drive (or the equivalent). I was called a day later to be told that the mission was impossible, but I could go somewhere else that would charge me $1699 without tax and without a guarantee that they could actually perform the job.
    Let's face it - that's a lot of money.
    I went home and researched how to get my hard drive out of the computer and did so without much hassle. I've since then turned in the other parts to the insurance company as they were broken and useless.
    Now I have a hard drive sitting on my counter without any idea how to get the information off and onto an external storage unit. Is there any way I can get the data myself?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
    If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
    (Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

  • HT1750 How likely to fail is my 2011 iMac hard drive that's included in the recall?

    I just got a recall notice saying the hard drive in my Imac is likely to fail and I need to get it replaced.  How likely is this to really happen?  It's the 1 terabite drive and works great right now.  It's only about 2 years old.  Also, if I take it to the Apple store, will they do a mirror image of it or do I need to reinstall everything incuding Microsoft office myself?  I am not happy about this, given what this computer costs.

    As nick101 said, you'll be a lot less happy if your drive fails and you lose data.  I do have to say that I don't think that transferring your info is part of the service.  I looked at Apple's website and they say that YOU should back up your information before you bring it in for service.  Anytime I have been at the Genius Bar you must sign the paper work that states that YOU are responsible for backing up your information.  Apple is not responsible for data lost as a result of component failure or replacement.
    If you are not doing regular backups of your data already, you are fllirting with disaster.

  • ?: How do you move files to an external hard drive

    Hello everyone,
    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5
    I am starting to run out of internal HD space as my images in Photoshop are very large (over 1 GB ea.)
    I currently use an external hard drive for Time Machine but would like to use a different external hard drive just to have my photo images on it.
    Im assuming that i would purchase another external hard drive formatted for mac, plug it into my MBP and simply drag my image files from my MBP onto the external hard drive icon. After that just delete the images from my MBP HD. Is that all there is to it?
    I wasnt sure if there was a step in there where you have to tell your MBP that the new external hard drive is NOT for Time Machine, but is simply to transfer image files onto (?)
    Please let me know if this is how it works and how to do this.
    best to you all and thanks so much for your help
    take care,
    rick

    Rick,
    the “EDIT” note in my last response was an “oh yeah, I should mention this” moment that I’d had after initially responding with my single “yup” sentence. You had mentioned that you were already using Time Machine to back up your internal hard drive to an external hard drive. I’d wanted to clarify that your new external hard disk should not be simultaneously used as a Time Machine backup drive; it should be treated just like your internal hard disk, in that it gets backed up by Time Machine (a “source” drive) rather than receives Time Machine backups (a “destination” drive), which your current external hard drive already does.
    As far as my recommendations, I’ve had good results with the Hitachi hard drive series with five-year warranties. I’m currently using a Samsung 840 PRO SSD as my internal disk; so far, so good, but I don’t have long-term experience with it yet. (The 840 PRO has a five-year warranty also. As you can tell, I prefer drives with long warranties.) Since you have a 2009 MacBook Pro, getting your new drive in an external enclosure with a FireWire 800 port (and getting a FireWire 800 cable for it, of course) will allow the best performance when reading from or writing to it. Since it will be holding large images, performance will probably be an important criterion for you.
    To set up your new external drive to be backed up by Time Machine, plug it in to your MacBook Pro, open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences, unlock the lock in the lower left corner if it shows a locked padlock,  press the “Options…” button in the lower right corner, and make sure that your new external drive is not in the list of drives excluded from being backed up. If it’s not there, then you should be good. If it is there, then you’ll need to select it and press the “-” button to “subtract” it from the list of excluded drives.

  • How do you start up from an external hard drive

    I read the one post about this but i was un clear. Im trying to find out how to do this for my friend with a G3 that is no longer working. They have an external hard drive that is firewire and the newest version of tiger. So if someone could give me a step by step guide how to install tiger on the external hard drive and then run it that way, that would be great. Thanks to anyone who answers and helps.

    I was fooling around with my iBook and an external harddrive where I used CarbonCloner to clone my system. When that was done I found this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459
    Here it says I should:
    Press Option-Command-Shift-Delete during startup
    Bypass primary startup volume and seek a different startup volume (such as a CD or external disk)
    I tried this and my iBook started up from my external harddrive....I think.....i actually couldn't tell the difference by looking at the desktop, everything seemed exactly the same, I guess because I booted from a cloned system....but when I used the keyboard sequence above, I noticed my external harddrive spinning and thought it was doing the work to start up my computer.
    I don't think starting your computer using Target disc mode is right for you....

  • How do you transfer music from an external hard drive into iTunes on a mac, but not write the music into the mac's internal hard drive?

    I am trying to load an external library with about 700 gigs of music into iTunes on my mac, but of course my mac's inter hard drive is much less than that. Is there a way I can load the music onto iTunes without importing it into my computer? I use this hard drive for DJing so it is plugged in the majority of the time. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.

    Do you use both the internal and external drives for storing music or just the external drive?  If both, hold down the option key while dragging media to iTunes to get it to leave the media where it is and add the track location information to iTunes.  A better solution would be to relocate the entire iTunes library to the external drive and run it all from one place.  This will also make it easier to make backups of the library as you should since you are using this in a professional capacity and your livelihood depends upon it.  We can provide advice on how to do this once we know more about your setup (is there an existing library already, and where?)

  • How do you transfer files from an internal hard drive in a broken Mac?

    My iMac G5 broke a while back, the power comes on but nothing comes on my screen and the fan goes into overtime. I don't mind not fixing it but I would like to take the files from my hard drive. How would I go about this?
    I've tried using a firewire cable but to no avail.

    all i can think of is to remove the HD from the Mac, put it in an external enclosure, and use data recovery software such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage to retrieve the data.
    good luck !

  • HT3500 how do you transfer data from an external hard drive to a mac time capsule

    I am trying to use my Mac Time Capsule as a wireless external hard drive for my MacBook Pro, so how do I transfer the data from a toshiba external hard drive, to my Mac Time Capsule?

    Drag and drop or copy and paste files just as you would do with any normal Finder operation.
    The Time Capsule is located under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and double click the folder that appears representing the drive....named Data....unless you have changed the name......to mount the drive on the desktop.
    Drag/drop or copy/paste files to the icon on the desktop or to the open window there.

  • How do you lock the name of a hard drive?

    I have looked quite a bit through the forums and cannot find an exact answer concerning locking the HD name not the entire drive, just its name. Over the years I have several times, I quess parked the cursor over the name of the hard drive and some how highlighted it and started entering text only to find that I have been typing in the drivename box. Not always a problem, when you catch it right away. I'v come back and found my Macintosh HD named -T, Q or whatever key strokes might have been entered. I have lost drive partitions because I couldn't remember the name I had given it.
    all models   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   earlier Mac OS systems as well
    all models   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   earlier Mac OS systems as well

    The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

  • Now you can upgrade your internal iMac hard drive to 1.5 TB!

    It is now possible to upgrade iMac white, iMac aluminum models 2007 and 2008 with internal 1.5 TB hard drive!

    Most Macs and PC's built before 2003 were limited on their stock internal HD capacity to a maximum 128GB HD per IDE/ATA HD. This used to be an issue that affected your internal HD options. However, due to recent advents in Mac OSX and hardware, SATA HD's can be used up to 1.5 TB for desktop towers. Remember one other thing, Make sure you have an equal capacity HD to backup your HD if you do so. Mega HD upgrades also mean MEGA data loss in the event of failure.

    My backup is done with Shadow Protect, which as well as providing incremental backups - it adds any changes to the back up every 18 minutes - it also allows you to keep an image of your boot drive.  This image has t be accompanied with a bootable CD, so if your boot drive crashes, you can be up and running again in minutes.  I've never needed that feature, but I have lost two data drives in the last two years, and Shadow Protect came to the rescue both times.  One of thos drives was have a raid0 with many hundreds of hours of video editing.  It would have been a huge disaster to have lost that.
    One of the best US$90 I ever spent.
