I have lion.  where is the hard drive? stupid question.  i know.

hi, i have snow leopard but have just purchased macbook pro with lion.  where can i find the hard drive?  with snow leopard you just go to a finder window but lion doesn't have it listed there?  i need to upload a color profile, etc.  the directions tell me to go to the hard drive first, then library>colorsync>profiles....and i could do all that if i could complete the first darn step!!!  thank you community.

Make sure that this option in Finder's preferences is checked:

    Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Technically there is no "hard drive" in the Retina MacBook Pro, as all models come with "flash" storage which isnt a "hard disk drive." So if you are wondering why you are not hearing classic hard drive chatter and spin-up sounds then this is the reason.
    Other than that, logically the devices are treated the same, so as Kappy mentions you just have to enable it on your desktop or go to your computer name in the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or otherwise go to the top level of the system's folder structure to reveal any mounted volumes, including the internal drive.

  • I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk

    I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk. How can I proceed?

    I recently completed a clean install of Lion on an internal SSD. After wiping it clean, I used a thumb drive with SL on it to boot and then another thumb drive with Lion on it. It worked just fine. The only thing to be aware of is that if you use the thumb to install Lion from... it will not install a recovery partition and you'll have to use the thumb in the future.
    That's what I wanted anyway so it's working out just fine. Good luck.
    I should add... I used the SL thumb to actually boot from and used Disk Utlities to wipe the internal SSD. It does work and there are Apple posts that can guide you through the thumb drive process. I used copycat to create both the SL boot and Lion.

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area.  If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures?  Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

    When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area.  If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures?  Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

    You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How do I install lion and format the hard drive?

    How do I install lion and format the hard drive, as though this was a new mac.

    If your Mac is a 2011 model and originally came with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple then you can use the Internet Recovery HD system to Wipe/Erase the Complete drive and Re-Install Lion.
    If it is an older model, even and early 2011 model, that did NOT come with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple you can not sell or give it away with Lion installed on it. You have to install the original version of OS X on it.

  • A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection.  If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
    If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose.

  • My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  How do I transfer my itunes to my new computer without messing up my ipod?

    My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  I have a new computer, I want to install i-tunes so I can purchase more music, but I'm afraid to attach my i-pod to the computer, because I want the music already on it saved.  How do I transfer the music on my i-pod to my new computer?  I don't have access to the old computer at all, just the i-pod.
    I'm not real computer "savy", so easy to follow instuctions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • Where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?, where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?

    I'm looking in finder but can no longer see the hard drive. Where has it gone to?

    If I understand correctly, you can edit what is shown in the side bar within the "Finder Preferences".
    under the "sidebar" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown in the side bar of Finder.
    under the "General" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown on the desktop.
    Hope this is what you are after and this helps.

  • Where is the hard drive located on a 13" Macbook Pro Early 2011?

    Thinking about upgrading, just wondering where the hard drive is located?  I've read lower left and lower right?
    Thanks.

    depends where you're looking - it's on the lower right if you're looking at it from the top.
    it's on the lower left if you flip it over - bottom side up

  • Where is the hard drive located on the 15"? Possible problem.

    I just got a 15" MBP refurb and have noticed that when I open the lid, from it being in sleep mode, I have about 2-4 seconds of "muffeled clacking". It sounds like it is coming from under the Return key. I thought it was the optical drive, but I'm wondering if it is the hard drive. No problems other than that during normal use. None of my iBooks or my other PowerBook had this problem.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    The hard drive is located to the left of the trackpad under the palm rest. The optical drive is on the other side. The location you refer to would be near the location of the right side fan.

  • HT1711 My computer caught virus,  My songs are listed in my library, but the music files are gone!  I have them on my  separate hard drive but don't know where to put them back on my computer so itunes recognizes them.  Help !

    My computer caught a virus.  My entire drive was wiped clean, however, I had recently done a backup to a portable hard drive.  When I got my computer back from the tech, and logged into my itunes, my library shows all my songs, but NONE of them have a music file associated with it - therefore I cannot play it.  I have located the music files on my external hard drive, confirmed they play, but don't know how to go about getting them from my hard drive to my computer.  Can someone please help me?????

    In iTunes, go to File > Add to Library and select the files/folders you would like to add.
    You can also choose to consolidate library after that to move them off the external.

  • Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

    Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop.  My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed.  I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  HELP!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

    .dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).
