HP Mini 1001TU - Hard drive spare

Hi,
I'm from India. The hard drive is corrupted in the HP Mini 1001TU laptop. It is 60 GB HDD. I have enquired most computer accessories shops in Chennai. Could somebody help me how can I purchase the spare for the HDD? Do you know any dealer in Chennai? or Can I able to purchase online?
I have searched also in http://partsurfer.hp.com/. It is not available.
Thanks in advance

Photo library on Time Capsule and want iPhoto to recognise it rather than import to Mac Mini small Hard drive

As heading states, I have 100Gb of photos and want to have them "sorted" and viewable through iPhoto. at the moment when i add photos it is importing them from the TC to my mini's hard drive duplicating the pictures and using up valuable space. Is there a way of pointing iPhoto to the photo folder on TC as you would music and videos for iTunes library?

Yes there is but you shouldn't.
Here's why:
1. Is this a wireless connection? If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Problems with a Referenced Library
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
How to do it:
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
Issues?
1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
You cannot rename the files.
Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save byte of storage space.
3. If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Maxtor Mini External Hard Drive slows or crashes my macbook

I recently bought a Maxtor Mini external hard drive since I work with a number of large files, mostly CS3. Anytime I plug in my external hard drive, my computer slows down (trying to save a jpg, takes 15 minutes, copying a 20MB file from the external to the internal hard drive takes around 20 minutes). Anytime I open ANY application on the macbook, while the Maxtor is plugged in, the macbook crashes.
When I bought the Maxtor, I formatted it for my Mac, with the CD that came with the external hard drive.
Any suggestions?!
thanks!

You shouldn't need any CD provided by the manufacturer to format the drive. I can't see any particular format type causing that problem though. If you don't have anything you need on the drive now... try formatting it using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
http://www.larryjordan.biz/assets/articleimages/lj_journal01.jpg
Try that first and see what happens. Like I said... I don't really see any particular format causing the problem you are having... but since we don't know what the CD you used did, it's best to start clean.
Do you know if you actually installed anything on your computer from the CD?

Mac Mini replacement hard drive - will any 2.5" SATA drive fit?

I want to upgrade the hard drive in my Early 2009 Mac Mini. I see lots of good info online about how to disassemble and reassemble the Mini. But I can't find any info about hard drive compatibility.
Will any 2.5" laptop SATA drive fit the Mini? I want to make sure that all the connectors and mounting holes will line up correctly. I am thinking about Western Digital Scorpio Black.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks for the help!

How can I sync iPod Mini after hard drive reformat?

My son has an iPod mini. Recently, we had to have our computer hard drive reformatted and had to reinstall iTunes. When we try to sync the mini, it shows up with all it's songs, but the songs won't update into the library, so the desktop iTunes has nothing in it. Anyone able to help me with this? I'm sure it's an easy fix but for now I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance for any help you can shed on this.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sounds like you have to transfer the songs from the mini back to the computer first.
Check this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797426#797426
Before there is a next time, consider backing up the songs on your computer on CD-R or DVDR or external hard disk before doing a reformat.

Mac mini internal hard drive not recognised during internet recovery

mac mini 2.3GHz OS X Lion
I turned on my comp and got the folder with the question mark. Went into recovery and am not able to do any of the proceedures. I can see something in the disk utility, but it is not mounted. I was able to recover an old internal drive connected with a SATA wire, but not what I was looking to do. Have had this less than 2 months. I wish apple had better steps to follow for recovery. Just want it to function the way it was bought. Any help is appreciated. First time posting!

Sounds like either a failed Hard Drive or other Hardware problem.
Contact Apple or your local AASP and make an appointment to have it looked at.

AirPort Disk doesn't work with LaCie Mini Hub & Hard Drive

I got my new La Cie Mini Hub and Hard Drive yesterday, backed up the PB and did a reinstall...no problems.
This morning, I hooked my LC into my AEBS went through the setup in AP Utility which saw the drive with no problems. But the AP Drive Utility doesn't see the drive. My AP firmware has been updated, and the software too. I even went through the setup in this posting:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4230118&#4230118
Any ideas that I may have missed?

I am dealing with the same issue, jeppeo. I have a 320 GB Seagate external HD (with both USB and Firewire). The Airport Disk Utility does not recognize the drive. It does, however, recognize my Kingston 1GB USB stick. Thus, I know the system works, it just doesn't seem to be working with the Seagate. It may be that the Seagate, and the LaCie you are using, are simply incompatible with the AEBSN. If that is the case, the only option might be to purchase a drive that is known to be compatible with the AEBSN, or any other drive and simply try plugging it in. I am considering buying a Western Digital drive (as many of their models seem to be compatible) and then testing it out. If it doesn't work, I will return it.

Upgrading Mini Mac Hard Drive

I have a mid '06 Mac Mini (1.66 MHz w/80 GB HD) and want to upgrade to the largest HD possible. When I bought it Apple did not offer an upgrade.
Is this doable?
Thanks!

I just replaced the hard drive in my 2007 mini. I stayed with Hitachi since that is what Apple supplies with new machines. Hitachi has 2-1/2 inch SATA drives up to 750 GB in both 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm. Naturally the 7200 rpm models have higher transfer rates. The only issue I can think of with 7200 drives is higher heat generation.
I just visited an apple store and checked out their new mini and found it has 7200 rpm Hitachi drives in the server version. I also spoke to Apple Care and Hitachi and both of them assured me 7200 rpm drives are fully compatible.
Hitachi's web page for 2 1/2 inch TravelStar drives is
http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-drives/mobile/
You may note that Hitachi has Standard, Bulk Data Encryption (BDE) and Enhanced Access (EA) versions of their drives. Both the original drive in my mid 2007 mini and the drives in the new mini at the Apple Store were standard version models.
The best price this weekend here in Chicagoland for the Hitachi 320 GB drive I bought (7200 rpm) was at MicroCenter. Hope this helps.

HP Mini 1030NR - Hard Drive Question

Right now I have the 16GB SSHD in my netbook. It seems kind of sluggish.
Is there anyway for me to upgrade the hard drive to a HDD instead of the SSHD?

I have the same HP mini 1030nr 16GB SSD. It was also very sluggish.
After I installed an SSD accelerator (FlashFire09c), it becomes very usable and is comparable to my Toshiba M70 100GB HDD.
In fact, the time from cold-boot to load-up internet browser is less than 50 sec. Much faster in most applications except those are CPU intensive.
If you like, visit the site and try for yourself.
http://flashfire.org/xe/?mid=home
IMO. It is no point to upgrade this model to HDD.

Backing up IPod Mini after Hard Drive Failure

Hi I recently had a new hard drive installed and had to reinstall mi Ipod software. Luckily I had made a back up Data DVD with all my songs.
However after loading the disk every time I try to play a song through Itunes I get the message "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found would you like to locate it". I can't locate the song. The only way to play my songs through Itunes is to have the back up disk loaded.
The songs are playing ok in my Ipod but its good to be able to listen to songs whilst on line.
Please can someone help.

My mac mini's hard drive won't go to sleep!

I don't know what happened? a couple of days before my wireless track pad and keyboard would have trouble connecting when computer is waken after sleep mode. Then one day my mac mini just suddenly stopped going in a physical sleep state. When I go to the apple sign and put the mac mini to sleep the screen turns black like usual but once its put to "sleep" the light indicator on the mac mini will not blink neither will I hear the hardrive slow down. whats going on. This is the standard $700 model mac mini mid 2011. I pretty sure its a software problem rather than a hardware problem. I have made no customozations to the mac.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 2
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 3
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

How to get data off a G4 mini with a failing hard drive.

For the record, here's how I ended up solving the problem - I had to invent this combination of approaches and it's not documented on any Web postings I could Google up during a week of working on this:
Situation: Your G4 mini's hard drive dies (unbootable), AppleJack was unable to fix it, and DiskWarrior 4 can't rebuild it and actually crashes before it reaches its Preview stage.
Why is this situation such a puzzle?
* When booted in single user mode, the Mini does not recognize an attached Mac in Target mode, so you can't copy your files to there.
* diskutil can't help you find any attached FW drives since diskutil is unavailable (because sh /etc/rc fails due to disk hardware errors). Even though mount is available, all possible guesses of the attached FW partition name fail ("disk2s2" through "disk7s4" all fail), despite previously confirming what the FW drive or target-mode Mac's partition name looks like to other working Macs.
* Attaching a USB hard drive fails because the USB drivers fail to load, again presumably due to disk hardware errors.
* Booting from OS 10.4 (Tiger) Install DVD doesn't help, because even when running Terminal from the Install DVD, an attached Target-mode Mac is not recognized (diskutil shows no attached devices), and since the 10.4 Install DVD does not include mount_fat32, it's also not possible to mount an attached USB drive.
* Solution! *
Use an OS 10.5 (Leopard) Install DVD to boot the G4 mini. Even though the DVD reports that the old mini is incompatible with Leopard, go ahead and accept that result, and then you can run 10.5 Terminal from the DVD on your G4 mini. Unlike 10.4 Install DVD, this one includes drivers to recognize and mount an attached USB drive, even FAT32 (Windows) formatted drives. So now, in Terminal, you can copy files from your dead hard drive to the USB drive. Whew!
Note: This solution is possible and probably generally useful to people since if you have a dead G4 mini on Tiger, you probably do what I do and go buy a replacement new Mini, which of course comes with a Leopard Install DVD. And generic USB drives are easy to borrow or cheap to buy or you already have one.
Message was edited by: alanngnet

P.s. Additional details that might be helpful to people:
- When you boot Leopard on your old Mini, click "Ok" when it tells you it's incompatible. Then Terminal will be a menu option under "Tools."
- You'll need to have familiarized yourself with basic Unix file commands (practice on another Mac first, for example). If your hard drive is dying, time is of the essence, so learn your commands before you start up your dead Mini.
- Tip for Unix newbies: The crucial commands you'll need are ls and cp. http://www.ss64.com/osx/ is a handy reference manual.
- Hopefully when you run "ls /Volumes" you'll see your mini's dead hard drive listed there as "Macintosh HD" (or whatever you may have previously renamed it). If it's not listed there, you're really hosed. But try again later, maybe when it's as cool (temperature) as possible.
- The destination path for your USB drive is also viewable with "ls /Volumes", e.g. in my case it turned out to be "/Volumes/Elements" (where Elements was the brand name of the drive).
- Don't use dd or ditto en masse because the hardware errors on your drive will screw things up. Instead selectively pick out the files you really need to recover and cp them. Be sure to use -p option to preserve file date/time. I used a lot of "cp -Rpv oldminifolder /Volumes/MyUSBDrive" to copy all contents and subfolders from folder "oldminifolder" to my USB drive. It will also be helpful to use "ls -trl" to see the chronologically most-recently-modified files on your old mini so you pick out which files to copy (e.g., files newer than your most recent backup).
Hope this helps, and thanks to the many other posters out there on the Web who taught me many Unix tricks this week.

LaCie EDmini USB hard drive- "No LaCie Disk mini has been detected" warning

This 250gb drive is 4-5 years old. I haven't used it in "ethernet" mode in years and had been using it via USB only. It used to work on my macbook and now it does not. I am running 10.5.8 now and it worked a while back. Recently, the macbook has had to go back to Apple for some serious work - which resulted in a complete archive and reinstall of Mac OS. This drive DOES work on my mac mini (also running 10.5.8) but NOT my newer Macbook.
I've tried to use the LaCie "MacOS_EDminiUpdater" package 2.0 software - yet that also does not recognize the disk. It's a Catch-22: can't update a disk that can't be recognized. I have read in some Apple discussions that there is some sort of intel/Mac OS firmware on the LaCie website for download - yet no direct link to the file was given. I downloaded the only thing related to "Mac Os and Intel" and installed it. It's a Mac OS driver it claimed and this also did NOT help the drive get recognized after a shutdown of both laptop and external harddrive. USB cable is brand new, power source is just fine. Help!

Maybe try this...
Put your mac mini in target disk mode,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Plug the firewire cable into the Macbook at one end, and the Mac Mini at the other end.
Go to System Preferences and select Startup Disk,
Select the Mac Mini's hard drive as the boot disk and reboot the macbook. If you do this, it may be able to help you determine whether the problem is software or hardware. Hope this helps.
