I have an Advaned Format WD drive,will it work with Lion?Does Lion even support AF?

I have a "new" mid 2009 MacBook, and I'm replacing everything on it so I can use it for school. I want to use Lion, and decided to get a new hard drive to compliment the upgrade.I ordered a WD Scorpio Black drive...but just realized it had Advanced Format in the description. I noticed alot of reviewers said it worked with their MacBook Pro's, but dont know if they succesfully got AF to work or not...sounds like there would be a serious performance hit if they couldnt get it to work.Does Lion have any way to format the drive in AF?Is it even necessary?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

    You need to install the Windows version.  The serial number for the Mac version should work with the Windows version.

    Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?
    If it Ain't broken don't try to fix it.
    Be Happy you don't have to deal with all the changes and inconsistencies that Lion has created between it and older Mac OSs

  • 1.5 TB Seagate drive will not work with Airport Extreme.

    I have a 1.5 TB external drive connected to airport extreme.  I cannot get this drive to be recognizedby the computers connected to the Airport Extreme.  The drive show up as "-1.4 TB - Seagate FreeAgent 0138"  under disks in Airport Utility can plug it in directly to my Mac Air and a PC and the drive will work. When I plug the drive in directly to a PC or Mac Air,  it is recognized and can be used. 
    I can plug in a 250 GB external drive into the Airport extreme and they will work.
    Also,  the 1.5 TB works when plugged locally to a PC or Mac using USB. 
    Anyone know how to get it to work with the Airport Extreme?

    Assuming that the drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS FAT32, you almost always need to use a powered hub with a drive attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme...even if the drive has its own power supply.....because the USB port is under powered and will not supply enough current to most hard drives.

  • I have a Cinema Display M8149. Will this work with the Mac mini?

    I have the first generation of Cinema Display M8149 and it is still working beautifully! I need to upgrade now my first gen G4 and I am wondering if I buy a mini will the display work with it? If yes, do I need to buy the newest mini or could I buy a used or refurbished older mini and have the monitor still work. What adapter would I need? Thank you!

    This

    says the M8149 has the ACD connector (Apple Display Connector)
    The ACD looks like:

  • Does anyone have a solution to HDV 720p25 files not working with Lion?

    I cant play or edit 720p25 HDV files with Lion, does anyone know how to fix this bug?

    i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released.  I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD.  All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
    Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh?  I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
    APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
    I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
    Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process!  They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

  • Microsoft Office will not work with Lion!

    Have just installed Lion, now I can not use microsoft office (Word,XL,PPS), message says "POWERPC applications no longer supported" Any help appreciated.

    Sounds like you are using Office 2004 or earlier and if so, as the error message provide indicates, PowerPC applications are no longer supported with Lion, and Office 2004 was witten for Macs with a PowerPC processor. The reason PowerPC applications worked on Macs with Intel processors prior to Lion was due to what is called Rosetta, which is no longer supported with Lion.
    I believe Office 2008 or whatever the next version was after 2004 and Office 2011 is supported since these are witten for Macs with an Intel processor with OS X.

  • I have a PC and my itunes will not work. It won't even try to load

    My library works but when I click on itunes it will not even load. I even wait for it to pop up but it won't.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Will entorage work with lion

    Before I upgrade to lion I wanted to make sure entorage will function properly as it has with snow ...

    If it's '04 it won't run in Lion, Microsoft don't have native Intel code on this version and you'll need Rosetta to run Entourage which Lion doesn't support/offer. You can also click on the word "Entourage" in bold text to the right of the Apple logo and then click About Entourage. This will tell you the version.

  • Will iMovies work with Motion 5?

    I am getting more and more into film, abandoned buildings are getting crazier the more I go through them. I want to share my videos on YouTube but I would like to have an introduction on the videos, will iMovies work with Motion 5?

    Hi Appleman756,
    I'm not sure how integrated you want them to be, but you can export your Motion project to use as the intro for your iMovie.
    Motion 5: Share to iMovie, GarageBand, and other Apple applications
    Share a Motion project to iMovie
    Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
    Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
    This menu provides a list of codecs.
    Choose None from the “Open with” pop-up menu. 
    Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu.
    If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether to export the entire sequence or the portion between the In and Out points. 
    Click Next.
    Enter a name and location for the exported file, then click Save.
    Motion renders and saves your movie, which can now be imported into an iMovie project using the File menu. For more information, see iMovie Help.
    Best,
    Nubz

    I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
