  • How do you reinsatll snow leopard from an external optical drive

    Both my hard drive and superdrive crapped out. How do i reinstall from an external USB optical drive?  I am having a complete brain **** at the moment!

    If your replacing your internal hard drive, why not also get the Superdrive replaced?
    The OS X install disk supposedly won't boot from a external optical drive, only the internal one.
    To OS X onto your new internal drive, your going to need another Mac with optical drive to take 10.6 off the disk and place it onto a bootable USB. Any Mac should do, as the 10.6 installer isn't going to be booted .

    Other methods, requires another compatible Mac.
    If you have machine specific 10.6 disks and you have another exact model of Mac, you can use a SATA to USB adapter (or enclosure) to use boot the second Mac with the disk and install 10.6 on the "extenral" drive, then place it back inside the other Mac.
    If you have the 10.6.3 white retail so called "upgrade disk" for 10.5 (it also has the full 10.6 on it) and you have another Intel Mac that it's OS X version originally came with anything 10.6.2 or earlier, then it will boot that disk to install on the "external" drive, then it can be placed back into the other Mac.

    Another internal drive access method is to use Firewire Target Disk Mode

    Also one can use a external drive to install the compatible OS X version onto, then option key boot the Mac with the new drive off the external, install Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the extenral to the newly formatted internal drive.

  • Use macbook pro optical drive with mac mini

    Just received my new mac mini. Wonderful.
    I would like to keep my old 2006 Macbook Pro 2,2 and use it as a DVD drive. It is running 10.7.5.
    Would you please give me some advice and pointers?
    Also, I have a few files on the old MBpro I would like to transfer to the Mac Mini. What's the best way?
    Finally, what else could I do with the old machine? It was a fine computer, and it feels sad being underused.
    Thanks,
    K.

    Amazing.
    It took just a few minutes to find answers to my questions. Congratulations for such a user friendly OS.
    I just had to connect everything and open the finder on my mac mini.
    So, here is what I found:
    - "Remote Disc" is the name of the feature to share the optical drive
    - not every type of disc is supported though. Why? How can I watch a DVD on my 27'' display?
    - the MBP files show up in the finder, i can transfer them
    - using "share c=screen" I can see my MBP screen. Should I use that feature to watch a DVD on the 27'' display?

  • How do I get COnfigurator to use my external Hard drive?

    I have a Macbook Air with a really dinky hard drive with which I am supervising 100+ iPods and other devices with Apple Configurator.  I filled up the hard drive after six months with Configurator stuff.  I bought a 2 Tb passport that I hooked up to the macbook and it immediately showed up.  Will the Macbook automatically start adding new files for Configurator onto the external drive as if it were additional space on the hard drive?  Will I have to move Configurator to the external hard drive?  How do I go about doing this?

    disclaimer:  I do not know here apple configurator save the data.  I assume it saves the data in the home folder of the account on which it is run. ~/Documents is most likely.
    1) I'd move our home folder of account you run apple configurator under to the external hd.  Here is how:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1164891/keeping_mac_os_and_data_on_separate_driv es.html
    ( your going to have to scroll down a bit.  there are a lot of ads on the above page.  look for "Keeping Mac OS and data on separate drive
    You could create another account for daily office use when you do not have the external hd attached.
    2) another option would be to copy your entire "hd" to the external hd & boot from the external hd.
    fyi: Holding down the option key then power on. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!
    Give SuperDuper a workout on your own system. Clone to your heart's content — for free. See what else is possible. When you're convinced that SuperDuper is a terrific solution — and a great value at $27.95 — you can register right from the application and start using its advanced features immediately!

  • Using an external hard drive with Mac & PC

    Hello. I am still using a 2005 PPC iMac running Tiger. My photos are stored in Aperture and Lightroom 2, however they are all stored on my computer's hard drive. I want to remove them from my computer and store them on an external hard drive instead.
    My flat mate has a Windows based PC laptop and also has stuff he wants to store on an external hard drive. We were thinking about going halves and getting a Western Digital 2TB hard drive and sharing it.
    I understand that the hard drives can be shared for both formats using FAT32, how would this format affect my Lightroom/Aperture Libraries? Or would it just be better to get an individual hard drive each? If so can you recommend any good ones for use with the mac that are not too costly?

    Fat32 will limit File sixes to 4 GB & have some naming restrictions.
    A few options...
    You could format that HDD as Fat32/MS-DOS, but you'd be limited to 4 GB Filesizes.

    (The second one is referred to in the first item.)
    Wouldn't you think a MS OS knows how to format a drive correctly using that format, I do. It is Apple Mac that is not doing it correctly.
    Kindly note that the word "correctly" does not appear in my post. I'm not quite sure how the statement,
    "the Mac OS X exFAT filesystem implementation is not compatible with Win's default cluster size for exFAT"
    can be interpreted to suggest that any OS is not "doing it correctly".

  • How do I burn an iMovie using a bus super drive for mac book pro

    I have a new mac book pro using the maverick operating system.  I also have a ubs super drive.  I am trying to burn an i movie to the dvd to be shown on a dvd player. It is saving as a mp4 and will not play in the dvd player.  How do I save the movie to play it in a dvd player.
    Thanks

    For that you need iDVD. If you don't have it:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • How do I use an external hard drive on Mac and Windows?

    How do I format an external HD for use on Mac and Windows? She has two laptops and have to use both.

    format the external for Mac and use MacDrive or HFS+ for Windows on the windows side.
    use the FAT32 format and live with the "4-GB-per-file" limit
    format the drive NTFS and install e.g. the NTFS 3G driver on the Mac.

  • I had tried installing windows 8.1 pro with many different solutions like using Bootcamp or using gdisk part and upgrading the disk part from hybrid to EFI also tried Using Lenevo external Optical drive which doesnt worked my internal drive is damage

    I Am fed up after getting error after errors on the installation of windows 8.1 in my late 2011 MBP 15" 750 GB HDD and OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 and i am trying to install windows 8 or 7 and the error doent go away also i tried various other methods like gdisk part to make next button appear and Afte next button appear i am getting the error after the check list is done
    please someone help me out i am getting paranoid in this and i am going to be a threat to society because its making me insane.

    1. You cannot use the Lenovo external drive, because you already have a built-in SuperDrive. Get your internal drive fixed.
    2. Your Mac does not support EFI Boot, because it is a PreUEFI model based on How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support and the following list. If you force it with EFI boot, some of your hardware GPU/Audio will not work properly.

  • Installing Win7 on a macbook pro using a mac mini as external optical drive

    hi everyone,
    My 2 year old son watches movies on my macbook pro. He stuck something in the optical drive making it unusable. Repairing it is 200 to 300 euros (ouch).
    I want to install win7 via bootcamp and I'm using my mac mini (october 2009) as an external optical drive. These are my steps:
    1.hold the "t" on the mac mini
    2.connect it to the macbook with a firewire 800 to firewire 400 cable
    3.Power up and hold the "alt" on the macbook
    4.I see the optical drive on the boot screen and I choose it
    5.Then I get a blank screen and a few seconds later the "missing operating system" message appears.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible to install win7 using a mac mini as an external drive?
    PS1:I already have partitioned the HD with bootcamp.
    PS2:I've upgraded the hard disk drive of the macbook with a seagate momentus 500GB hard disk. Don't think this is the problem, thought I should mentioned it.

    Hi Mike,
    For reference it is called "IP over Firewire".
    Connect the two computers with a fire wire cable. System Preferences > Network > Configure IPv4: > Manually > IP address: 192.168.3.1 (and .2 on other) > Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Leave the other fields blank. Do this on both computers on the computer you want to allow access to or both for two way access go to System Preference > Sharing > Select a service to change its settings. Turn remote Login on.
    On the MBP go to the Finder Menu > Go > Connect to Server > Type in the IP address of the Mini 192.168.3.2 (Whatever you gave it)
    With this configuration you still have full use of the Mini and certain apps can use Xgrid and use the processor of the mini when it is not doing anything. I would keep the Mini as 10.4 unless you really need both machines running Leopard. As noted before you cannot boot the MBP from a HDD that is Apple Partition Scheme and vice versa you cannot boot the PPC from a Guide Partition Table.

  • How can I create DVD Label using Photoshop Elements 10?

    How can I create DVD label using Photoshop Elements 10?
    Richard

    You can create the design for a DVD label in Create>More Options. Once you have the label set up, you would copy it to a template for the labels you plan to use. (The PSE template makes one label, while most printed labels are two-up.)

  • MBP Late 2010, How can I install Win7 Boot Camp using External Optical Driv

    Hello:
    I have a new MBP purchased in February. It's not the 2011 model. I replaced the Optical drive with an SSD drive and put the optical drive in an external enclosure. The Optical drive works great, reads, writes, etc. My Windows 7, Pro 64bit DVD works also, tested on a PC.
    I use the Boot Camp assistant to create a partition. It them reboots and never starts up from the optical drive. I get an Apple logo alternating with a stop sign.
    I have got back to OS X by starting with the Option key and choosing my OS X volume.
    I tried booting to the DVD by using the option key, that did not work. I then choose the EFI option which allowed me to hit any key and appeared to boot from the external optical drive. Windows setup screen came up and I hit enter to start the file loading process. It eventually stopped when the progress bar was all the way across the screen. Then nothing.
    Questions {Please give definitive answers, not guesses, thanks :)}
    1) Is it possible to setup a boot camp Windows installation without an internal optical drive? Yes/No.
    2) If yes, how?
    3) I see the rEFIt utility has helped some but I read mixed reports. Will this help me boot and run Windows setup from an external optical drive? I don't want to install it if it's not known to be a certain fix.
    4) Is my only options to reinstall the optical drive?
    I chatted to OWC the vendor that sells the bracket. They had no idea how to install a Windows BC partition without an internal drive.
    I am seriously discouraged by what seems to be Apple wanting to control everything. I had a Mac Pro and Air book in my future but now, it's on hold.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    I tried what you are doing with a 2007 MBP, and could not get any Windows CD s to boot from an external optical drive, firewire or USB.
    I think this is fundamental to Windows which won't boot from an external USB drive either even on a Windows machine (although I believe there may be complex ways of achieving this). I don't think this is Apple trying to control the world.
    I ended up taking the MCE Optibay out and putting the original optical drive back in.
    Just possible that something has changed between a 2007 MBP and 2010 MBP, but I doubt it.
    If you want the second internal HD, you have two options:-
    1. Put the Apple optical back in, install Windows, then take out the optical and refit the SSD. The external optical will still be able to install windows apps and data etc, just not boot any windows install CDs or utilities (like Paragon rescue disks). You will not be able to do a Windows repair install without refitting the optical.
    2. Parallels, which has come a long way in the last two years. I am 99% certain that Parallels will install from an external optical.

  • New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

    The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support.  I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7.  After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7.  When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are  found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices.  I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

    Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.
