I cannot install a music software (from east west) in my second Hard drive

I have a mac with two hard drives.
The second drive is partitioned into two data drives.
Whenever I am trying to install a new software it gives me only the choice of installing it in the main hard drive (boot drive that came with the mac).
The other two partitions of the second hard drive show a red exclamation mark.
The reason I do not want to install the software to the old hard drive (boot) is only because there are 50GB left and the software I need to install is 117GB!
Please help me figure out what is the problem.
The only reason I purchased the second drive was only because I wanted to install that software ...
Thank you

You mean to clone the existing boot drive so one of the partitions is a boot drive?
Yes.
If yes, I did it and it did not work..
Some installers require that the drive be the active startup disk. Restart the computer with the Option key held down, click on that drive, and press Enter.

  • How do I get all my music library from my iPad to iMac after hard drive replacement?

    Recently my iMac hard drive crashed and was replaced with a new one.  Thankfully the entire music library was still on my iPad.  However, with the new hard drive, iTunes will only let me move over the purchased tracks from the iPad to the iMac.  This is not good since most of our music was purchased on CD and loaded into iTunes.  iTunes states that you can only sync with one computer and the iPad is showning a different library than my iMac.  How do I fix this?  Apple is holding my legally purchased music hostage!

    No, they aren't holding it hostage. You are relying upon Apple to provide a service  you should be doing by backing up your computer properly.
    Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to sync music/videos from iphone to computer - lost ext hard drive

    I recently lost my external hard drive where I was storing all my music, videos and photos.  Long story, but the backup was not occurring.  I have precious video and music on my iphone (some original, not purchased) that I don't have the data for, but the iTunes libraries are still intact.  But the libraries are pointing to a drive that doesn't exist.  I have purchased a new hard drive that has the same drive letter as the original one.  Will iTunes create a new folder and sync my music and videos to the same place, or do I need to recreate exactly the same path?  Also, if something like this will work, will it sync, bringing the files from the iPhone to the new external hard drive? Please, can anyone help?

    Thanks for your reply, KiltedTim!  After reading on some additional resource sites and evaluating suggestions and reviews, I did try a 3rd party software which worked beautifully!   The software allows the user to store the data into different folders by content type, including subfolders, too.  I completely understand Apple's theology to make the sync a one way deal for copyrighted content, but when the unthinkable happens, it sure is nice to at least have an option to preserve anything personal and legal that you have on your iPhone that you lost on your hard drive, mainly music, videos, voice memos, text messages and notes.  I am completely respectul of the protection of copyrighted music...I am just very glad that the people that created the software "had my back" this time for my precious family memories and the time saved trying to reimport all my music CD's!

  • How to install Arch for dual-boot with Win 7 (on 2 hard drives)?

    Hello,
    the TLDR first: how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for 2 hard drives to dual-boot Arch (64 bit)and Win 7 (64 bit)?
    Long version: So, I have the following hard drive & partition layout:
    On my first hard drive (250 GB big) I have: Win 7 64 bit, all the programs for Windows and of course the EFI partition
    My second hard drive is 1 TB big and formatted in NTFS and it only contains data. It has 2 partitions, one is about 750 GB big and used for simple storage.
    Sidenote 1: sometimes my disk management (Windows' own gparted) shows either the little disk or the big one as disk 0. Don't know what exactly this means, but I have never ever experienced any problems whatsoever during use.
    Sidenote 2: the UEFI motherboard (ASRock H67M) cannot boot into Legacy mode.
    I want to install Arch on a ~200 GB partition on the second hard drive (the one with 1 TB). (click here if you want to see a screenshot) I am posting this because I am confused with how exactly I should deal with the whole "2 hdds & UEFI" thing.
    So how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for this setup?
    For partitioning I suppose I would have to use fdisk or cgdisk. I used cgdisk before and found it to be straightforward. Then, because I have experienced my fair share of problems with rEFInd, I'd like to use GRUB.

    First thing you should do is become familiar with your motherboard.
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=H67M
    This will probably help you out in understanding the sidenote 1 thingie (hdd's on sata3 and/or sata2 connectors)
    As on sidenote 2, according to the manual it seems to be possible to boot legacy mode,  see Storage Configuration.

  • Windows 200 PC with SP4 won't boot after install of iPod software from CD.

    I installed the iPod software from the CD of my new iPod mini. It requested that I reboot the PC, which I did but it never rebooted. It hung and would not even boot in safe mode. After many attempts I booted to the boot console and when throught the install repair process. The PC will still not boot.
    Is there any way to bring up the PC without having to rebuild it?
    Has anyone found a way to get the PC back to it's original state, without a disk re-format?
    Does Apple have a solution?
    Any comments from Apple Support or their QA team would be of interest

    Last know good does not work. I don't receive any error messages. I did the repair but PC still will not boot. The starting windows bar goes about three quarter of the way to the right and then it just stops. It does this regardless fo which boot mode I choose (ie. safe mode).
    I do not have the iPod plugged in during this process.
    Is there anything else I can do or that we can try from the console command mode?

  • Cannot find a mounting to install a second hard drive in my Qosmio x70-A

    I have looked all over the internet and have gotten no where in my search for a mounting for the secondary hard drive bay in my laptop.  Anybody know where I can get one?  
    Also I've included pictures of the secondary drive bay and the primary bay.  From the looks of it I can't use the same type of mounting in the secondary bay as in the primary.

    I have the same issue, and have found Toshiba support to be completely unacceptable on this.
    After getting bumped around from sales to tech to sales because "we don't answer that question, you have to talk to the other guy", I finally got a "straight" answer from sales:
    "Sir, we DO NOT sell that part, and therefore I CANNOT tell you a part or model number for the part you may need to install that second hard drive. The only thing you can do is talk to our parts supplier over at National Parts (1 800 524 8338) and ask them to provide you with the model numer or sell you the part."
    At this point, I was annoyed, but thought that at least with a straight answer I could proceed.
    After a very short hold time with National Parts, a very kind associate answered the phone and listened to my tale of woe. Unfortunately, she was unable to help and said:
    "Unfortunately, sir, I have listed that while there is no caddy for the second hard drive slot on you X70-A specific model, there is supposed to be a mounting bracket. Unfortunately, we have been trying for MONTHS to have Toshiba give us the part number, spec, or any other information other than 'mounting bracket', and therefore I'm afraid we have neither a part to sell you nor a part number for you to go looking for one".
    At this point annoyance is full-blown anger. How is it possible for Toshiba to make something that should be SO SIMPLE so VERY VERY VERY complicated and impossible.
    "Sorry, if you didn't want to spring for the dual drives when you bought it, you're hosed forever sucker." Does not seem like an excellent customer service strategy.
    This was the FIRST Toshiba I'd ever decided to spend my hard-earned money on, and now it's a machine I can't upgrade because they can't get their act together with their parts supplier or in-house over a 3 dollar bracket?
    UNACCEPTABLE.
    The pictures the original poster shows are exactly what I have, no need to add more o fthe same.
    ANY help, Toshiba?

  • How to I transfer my music from my ipod to the new hard drive?

    My windows laptop crashed two months ago and I lost everything on it.  I was able to get the hard drive replaced but all of my music is on my ipod (nano - 2nd edition, I think).  Only a small percentage is purchased via itunes.
    I have been googling how to now move my music from my ipod to my new hard drive but most solutions assume that I still have the old laptop/hard drive.  I know I was able to do this previously when the hard drive crashed, but I can't seem to remember now as it was about 5 years ago.  I'm afraid to do anything just now as I don't want it syncing to an empty library and have my ipod wiped clean.
    Is there any way of moving the music from my ipod to my itunes library on the new hard drive??  Please help as I don't want to have to reload over 100 cd's

  • TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

    I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
    iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
    Thanks

    The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
    To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
    If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.

  • I cannot get files from my desktop to my external hard drive

    Does anyone have any information on why my external hard drive would not be allowing me to move files from my computer to my external hard drive?  I have a Seagate Free Agent external hard drive.  It has 1TB of space that is no where near being used.  It will show up on the desktop when I plug it in, but i cannot move anything to it.  Also, I have a few movies on the external hard drive that I cannot view for some reason.  Does anyone have any input on why that could be?  It gives me the pop up window that says "a required codec isn't available."  Any onformation will be very helpful.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    More information would help. How is the external connected? Does the external appear on your Desktop? Has the external been formatted for a Mac? What method do you use to transfer files? When you try to move a file to the external, what does happen?

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.
