Im at a serious loss with this new HD install.....

I dont know what else to do. I recently tried to instala new HD in my computer
Seagate 500GB SATA II 7200rpm 16mb
Performance
Rotational Speed: 7200rpm
Buffer Size: 16mb
Transfer Rate
Serial ATA (G/s): 3.0G/sec
Average Seek: < 8.5ms
Average Latency: 4.16ms
I have received a numerous amount of helpful advice from many member in this forum, and to that I thank all of you but I have still yet to get a resolution to this problem.
I installed the HD in the bottom bay, booted up Mac, went to disc utility (nothing shows up), went to system pre (nothing there) swaped bays, bootable works in bottom but does not work when new drive is on top bay, only works when I hold down option key to select drive to boot from. Returned that drive, thinking it was the HD that was broke, received a new one today and to my surprise still nothing worked. Please any help would be greatly apprecited and accepted. I reset PMU, NVRAM on the first install but not the second. The original drive I have in there right now is a seagate, can this be causing the conflict? PLEASE ANY HELP

I am having similar problems with a 7200.9. (500Gb, 3.0 - SataII)
Tonight I will be setting the jumpers to limit the transfer to 1.5 instead of the drive's 3.0. Hopefully that will alleviate my problems (SBOD after a few minutes in Tiger, pretty much regardless of what I am trying to do).
I have read in these forums that only part #'s ending in -301 have the SSC enabled by default, but I am not convinced. Seagate support was unable to confirm this. If it's SSC, I think i need a whole new drive. I dont have a PC with a floppy drive to deal with their utility for toggling. I am not aware of a way to disable SSC with the jumpers...in fact I am fairly certain you cannot do it this way.

  • What can I do simply  to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new  iTunes on my new Mac?

    Friends,
    I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
    Now,  I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
    When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
    But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized  iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
    What can I do just like that, simply  to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new  iTunes on my new Mac?
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
    As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

    My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

    Why would you make a new account?  This will likely cause many problems.  Just get you old account enabled.
    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • How do you adjust settings or is this not even possible with this new program?

    I just loaded 4.1.  How can you adjust settings with this new thing or is it not even possible?  Like how can you adjust bitrate or do you have to use the templates as is?

    I'm not sure what the weird button you mention is. You mean the gear button?
    In any event, and as you've found out, the answer is yes. Create a custom setting – either by duplicating a preset, or using the plus button in the settings pane. Depending on the format, the available adjustments will be different they're accessible from the Inspector.

    I am absolutely frustrated with this new phone. My old phone, a 3G, took a total dump, so, I bought this new 4G with Siri and I cannot get it to update. I keep getting the same error message that I got with the 3G error "3014". I am ready to throw it against a brick wall!!

    The support document that you refrerred from explains it, however I have posted it here.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync vers

    I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
    I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
    Nothing works. Please help.

    Hi mongoose00318,
    On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
    NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
    Does this help?
