IMac i7 SSD+HDD Boot Problem

I've just bought a 27" iMac with the SSD and 1TB drive. The problem is that when i boot the machine it asks if i want to from Macintosh HD or Recovery HD. Ideas? Thanks.

Boot from the Recovery artition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, if that fails use the Recovery Partitionto Install the OS again.

Need help with workflow: New iMac with SSD & HDD and Pegasus Promise

Hello everyone! I've decided to upgrade my iMac and ordered an i7 with the SSD and HDD drive configuration as well as the Pegasus Promise 12TB drive. I've been researching as to what's the best way to manage both the SSD and HDD drives and I really haven't seen an end-all answer. Now with the purchase of the Pegasus Promise, I'm more confused as to what's the best approach to take. Here are my thoughts:
1. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive and the HDD for the users folder.
2. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the HDD for the users folder, and photos and pics onto the Pegasus.
3. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the Pegasus for the users folder, and the HDD for ???
4. Just use the Pegasus drive as the boot drive and use it for everything. (being that it's a RAID drive, then all my files are backed-up already)
Majority of my space-filling files are my iTunes folder, tons of pictures from using Aperture, and iMovie for videos.
Thanks in advance for everyone's input and help!

I'm working on a similar premise. i7, SSD, HDD, Promise raid, etc.
I'm nowhere near as savvy as a lot of the people here, but after a lot of research I decided that focusing on how the Pegasus gets configured is the most important for me. My concerns are for a business in photography, btw.
I can't budget the 12TB unit so I'm trying to make the most of either the R4-8tb or th R6-6tb.
I'm planning to launch the applications from the SSD. I will use the Mac HDD for typical non-photographic files, iTunes (mine's not so big), and standard fair. This is all backed up via Time Machine to a 3TB Western Digital MyBook for the time being.
As for the Pegasus, I believe I've settled on: taking an R6-6tb unit, placing the 6th drive in my firesafe from the moment I get it. Configuring the remaining 5 drives in a level 5 setup. Leaves me 4TB to get started and buys me a few succesful quarters to plan on daisy chaining another unit when memory is needed. This way, I may not have maximum possible drive space, but I've got a replacement drive on the ready should I experience a drive-failure. Then, I'm not sitting on pins and needles while I await a replacement; they'll simply be shipping me a new "spare".
I still need to actually speak to someone @ Promise to make sure this will work, as I stated: I"m learning as I go here. If this is an acceptable Raid setup, you would have 8TB available to you.
Personally, I am far more comfortable running systems in series and building the size as I go (to a point) than putting so much data in a single array.
[Edit] The raid bay is mainly for the Lightroom catalog, and I use standard external drives to store redundant backups off-site (1TB at a time).

Best setup for iMac with SSD & HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders

Best setup for iMac with SSD and HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders?
Computer:
iMac 2.93 GHz Quad core i7, 8GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD
There is not much info from Apple about the best way to set up an iMac with a Hard Drive and Solid state drive. I’ve looked at a few of the forum posts across the web and came up with a plan and lots of questions. (I do use photoshop frequently, but not on a professional level):
1. I will keep OS and Applications on SSD
2. About moving the home folder: I saw some posts about moving the whole home folder, but it makes more sense to me to only move selected fodlers withing the home folder tomake the best use of the SSD. So will keep the home folder on SSD, but move certain folders (document /music/iphoto/download) to 1 TB HDD via instructions I found on the macintoshperformanceguide website:
cd
sudo cp -r Documents /Volumes/Master
sudo rm -rf Documents
sudo ln -s /Volumes/Master/Documents Documents
3. I would like to get 8 more RAM when I can afford it
4. I will attach an external hard drive for most of my documents and backup storage
5. Now here is where I’m not sure what’s best:
a. Should I partition my internal 1 TB hard drive and use the first partition as a scratch disc for photoshop and other applications? How much should I partition? Is there any benefit to this if the rive is partitioned?
b. Should I use an external drive as a scratch disc?
c. Any advice on a good 1-2 TB external drive?
d. Should I just leave things in factory settings?
Don't assume I know the basics - I got all the above just by searching around. Any advice and commentary is appreciatedThanks.

Thanks for the advice and the links. yes, I would like to speed up ps as much as possible.
I wonder if putting the scratch disc on the same drive as the OS would cause them to interfere with each other? Even if they are on different partitions, they would not be able to be accessed at the same time, or could they? That's why I was wondering if I should place scratch disc on the internal HDD -- but then I don't know how much to partition for it (or to partition at all?)
ALso, I read on a few places that too much read/write on the SSD wears it down over time? Is this more of a theoretical concerns - it does not make sense to me since it has no moving parts!
thanks again for the advice ... I'm gonna go digest those links

Big Aperture Library - iMac with SSD HDD - how to?

Just ordered the new 27 inch i7 iMac with SSD plus 2TB HDD , and want to plan the move from my old MBP.
I currently have a managed Aperture Library which is about 400GBs (on an external drive). Clearly this will not fit on a 256GB SSD, but I'd like to get some speed benefit from the SSD.
So I'm thinking I'll change to a referenced library, placing the masters on the 2TB drive and the aplibrary on the SSD.
To get there, I plan to to go through the following steps, and my questions are, do you think this is a good approach? Is there a better way? Can you see any risks?
Make a backup copy of the aplibrary on my old Mac to an external drive
Open it on the iMac
Relocate Masters from this aplibrary to the 2TB drive
Close down Aperture.
Copy the (now smaller) aplibrary from the external drive to the SSD
Open it there.
I tried these steps between external hard drives with a small (less than 5GB) aplibrary to test the concept and when I opened the copy of the (now smaller) aplibrary, all worked fine. The copy of the aplibrary knew where the masters were.
Background:-
My thinking is that the performance should be quite good since the library will be quite small (I'm guessing about 30GBs) and accesses to this library will be to quite small items (average in my test is 0.2 MB per item), whereas the images are quite large (up to 25 MB per image). Hard disks are better at moving big items and SSD benefits tend to be higher for reads and writes to small items, since there is no seek time or rotation time. Of course the system and applications will be on the SSD as well.
PS I may even try this approach on my MBP, putting the aplibrary on the internal drive and the images still external.

Interesting!
Thanks, Ernie.
I am expecting that Aperture will launch faster since the app will be on SSD, but I also expect that due to accesses to the aplibrary, Aperture will be much faster. For example, the aplibrary will contain the previews, thumbnails, metadata and adjustments. I don't really expect that Aperture will transfer images being edited to SSD, rather that it would simply read them into RAM directly, bypassing the SSD.
What I definitely WILL do is to try to observe the performance differences with the library on SSD vs HDD.
I can see this turning into a science experiment for me!
PS, I will have 12 GBs of RAM, the original 4 plus 8 more

I haven't encountered this problem with any other drive I've put in there, so I'm guessing it must be SSD-related. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Do you think it's defective/worth replacing? It's more of an annoyance than anything, and the drive has no other visible issues other than on initialization.
Yes, I do. Healthy drives don't timeout on simple DMA initialization requests.

17" iMac Core 2 Duo - boot problems - 10.6.8

On startup it gets to the solid blue screen and stops. I can put it to sleep by momentarily pushing the power button, then clicking the mouse to wake it. When it wakes, I get the desktop display, but nothing responds. If I insert a DVD or CD in the optical drive, that gets the machine to start responding normally.
I've started up from the OS disk (10.6.3) and repaired the disk and permissions. The disk initially showed some problems, but now passes the test.
I leave the thing on all the time now because of the boot snafus, but I would like to solve this issue somehow.

You should try a reboot now that you've unplugged the external drive. A bad external drive can shutdown the startup process. By the way:
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Also, the hardest thing your iMac does is startup, let it sleep, you'll get more life out of it, honestly.

K9A2 CF Sata HDD BOOT Problem

Hello all.
Got this nice MB yesterday, and everything got running without problem.
Today, a few hours back, my computer shut itself down, and after that
it wont boot with ANY Sata HDD. The computer boots up, you get a 1-2 second
glimpse at the BIOS data, then the computer shuts down.
I don't have any problem with my sata burner. With that my computer boots up OK.
I have tried to flash the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.6, and still the same problem.
Beside the Sata HDD trouble, everything else is working flawlessly.

[MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) P67] Frequent boot freezes with A3 code / SSD HDD problems

Hello
I experience frequent freezes on boot with black screen and A3 code. After turning off power and rebooting it usually boots OK but then very often Windows fail to load restarting itself just when logo starts to appear. After another boot Windows usually starts OK.
A couple of weeks ago however those problems led to situation where I experienced a total freezes of Windows when accessing certain files on SSD drive. I've read that low level SSD HDD erase might help with that so I've done that and reinstalled W7. A3 code freeze still happens from time to time and yesterday Windows froze again. I've turned the computer off and after restart MoBo didn't see the SSD drive at all. I've opened the case, checked the connections and restarted again. A3 freeze again. Another restart and this time SSD was detected and W7 loaded properly.
According to this doc (http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMI_Aptio_4.x_Status_Codes_PUB.pdf) A3 means 'IDE Enable' so I guess there is a problem with one of the HDDs (SSD most likely). I've updated BIOS to the latest version (I guess that also clears the CMOS, right?) but the problem still persists.
What else can I do to fix that issue?
EDIT: Just wanted to mention that I haven't had any problems with that SSD drive on the old mobo (different CPU type/socket though)

A3 means 'IDE Enable' so I guess there is a problem with one of the HDDs (SSD most likely)
Please unplug one by one to find out which device is causing this.

Imac G4 20 inch 512 mb ram 1.25 ghz boot problem

i have a boot problem with my imac when i start it up it keeps on loading forever i have made a video so you can see the problem any suggestions on what the problem could be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh2jhTf0MHI

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Discussions!
While I did look at the video you posted, nothing was clearly evident in there;
so you may have to see if it is possible to start the computer from an install
disc, with C key held down, and use Disk Utility in the Installer's menu.
You may be able to see if you can 'verify' the hard disk drive, and if so, it
may be possible to 'repair' the Macintosh HDD. Some kinds of errors may
not be repairable by Disk Utility's tool options; but you could secure erase
the entire hard disk drive, and reformat it, then install a new system if that
may be the only way to make the computer work again.
Though the internal hard disk drive, or other hardware may be behind the
failure to get past the gray start screen with busy wheel, etc.
You may be able to try & see if the computer could start up in SafeBoot
mode, this is usually achieved on a startup by holding the Shift key down
and keeping it held down until you see there is a hint that the OS may work
but I usually suggest to keep the Shift key held down until you see the Login
screen (in Tiger) or a preliminary window appears in Panther, with SafeBoot
in a dialog box. In SafeBoot you can read system Console Logs, to try and
detect a hint of what isn't working, in those reports.
In SafeBoot, if the computer gets that far, it would be running in a reduced
version of OS X and you could also check the computer to see if the
hard disk drive shows up as Verified or passes SMART, etc. You can also
run Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' in Safeboot. Generally, after any
use of SafeBoot, you'd restart the computer; or try to.
The computer probably could use more than 512MB of RAM; the total it
can use, is 2048MB or two 1GB chips; each is a different style chip. The
lower more easily accessed RAM slot can use on 200-pin PC2700/DDR333
laptop chip similar to that which the 'mid-2005' iBook G4 uses, by specs.
There is a chance the data on the hard disk drive may be corrupted enough
to not get past the startup point; if you can't get a rise out of the computer
with Disk Utility or SafeBoot, or other localized means, you may have to get
and try to use a version of Disk Warrior on bootable CD; one most likely to
be similar to whatever OS X version is running in the computer.
Also, the hard disk drive may be worn out or have a defect; so due to age
and wear, that may be on its way out. There are several reasons why the
computer may get stuck at that stage of startup. There also are articles you
can find in a search, by using words such as ' Mac OS X gray screen start'
and other different ones, provide other responses. Some can be helpful;
in that owners with similar issues have posted online dozens of times, and
some of them get similar replies. You can test a validity of any consensus.
Without knowing more about the status of the computer, its hardware or
software; its history and use, etc; a reply can only focus on a few items.
• Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during Startup: (10.4/10.5/10.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
• Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1411
Some suggestions include resetting PRAM/NVRAM, among others
Most topics are searchable, and some pages have links within them.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mid 2006 iMac Boot Problem (Since latest firmware update)

I have a Mid 2006 17" iMac. Ever since the latest firmware update in early December, about every other startup I've been having boot problems. After the white screen with the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel it goes to a blue screen like normal, but instead of the 'Loading Mac OS X' white window popping up it stays blue and the spinning loading wheel starts. I've left it loading for quite a while before and nothing changes. I have to do a force shut off by holding the power button. and then I start it up and it will boot normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Actually, I think it'san early 2006.

How to use ssd as boot drive and hdd as storage on a macbook pro 13

Does anyone know how to use SSD as boot drive and have HDD in optical bay as storage on a Macbook pro 13. I mean in that both drives work as one . by formatting using mac software . I would like to run all programs and OS but would love to have my downloads and useless data on run on my 1tb 5400rpm hdd without me have to manual send it there..

Each drive mounts as a separate volume. There is no convenient way to make them look like one contiguous volume.*
Franky, with an hdd and a ssd I would recommend you put your home dir on the hdd and leave the ssd for the OS and your key applications. It's relatively easy to do and I think better than moving only portions of your stuff.

1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
- Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
- Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
- Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
- Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
- Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
- Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.

Problems with iTunes after installing an SSD/HDD on my Macbook Pro

Hello everybody,
I decided to install a SSD on my Macbook Pro, replacing the optical drive with it, then I set up the new disk to be the boot drive and left the HDD on its place to store media and stuff.
Obviously, my library now is on the HDD, but when I try to delete a file via iTunes I get a partial elimination, or no elimination at all. The songs remain on their place on iTunes. I have no idea why. My only theory is related to the TRIM option: I have a small application that enabled it on both drives, so maybe it may be a pain for the HDD?
Any help?
Thanks!

First, spinning hard drives don't use TRIM, so you can't enable it on your HD, only your SSD.
Is your SSD your boot drive? Where do you have your iTunes media stored? There's a right way and a wrong way to change the location of the media - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449.
Good luck,
Clinton

Triple Boot w/ SSD/HDD Setup

Hi guys,
I previously had a dual boot setup w/ windows 7. Recently, I upgraded my HD to a 500 gb WD caviar blue and moved it into an optibay along with putting in an intel 320 series SSD. I was wondering if it would be possible to triple boot with having my Mac OS install on the SSD and Ubuntu/Windows 7 on the HDD(therefore having 3 partitions on the HDD, one for my mac data(music,movies, etc.), one for windows, one for ubuntu) My SSD is 80 Gb and therefore would not be sufficient for accomadating all of the OSes so I would need to put it on the HDD. Another complication would be the fact that I am only able to use the external superdrive, but I have already made USB sticks of both OSes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well, I haven't tried this, but... the documentation says if you have more than one internal disk you have to disable one of them. I also don't know if Boot Camp Assistant will work on a disk that doesn't have Mac OS X on it at all, or if it just has an MBR. I know it gets ****** with three or more (visible) partitions, and will not even let you download/create the support driver USB stick, which is b.s.
However, if you can figure out a combination that Boot Camp Assistant will be agreeable, BCA 4 has the ability to somehow make it possible to run a Windows install image from a USB stick on certain Apple hardware. This is mentioned on page 4, in the middle paragraph, of the 10.7 Boot Camp Install Setup document PDF. But even if your hardware could support this, BCA may not let you do it for other reasons which of course it won't tell you why. It just won't let you. (Per usual Apple's error messages are not at all useful.)
Otherwise, I think you're going to have to remove the SSD, put the HDD back where it was, put the superdrive back inside the computer - do your installations - and then redo the surgery to get back to SSD + HDD.
Windows and Ubuntu install drivers based on the computer used for installation. With Ubuntu you might be able to get around this by rebuilding the initrd/initramfs after you get the drive back into your laptop, but I don't know if you can successfully get Windows to cooperate by moving the drive from one computer to another.
Basically you have a very custom situation and Apple doesn't tend to support custom anything. They provide tools for an extremely narrow type of support and if you deviate from that standard - well, you're on your own. So you have to blaze your own path.
