Installed HD but computer does not recognize to format

I have a g4 mdd, with 80 gig standard HD. Just installed a 160gig as slave drive. On startup no icon appears on desktop for new hard drive. The computer recognizes it in 'about this computer' as a 145 HD. I then ran disk utillity to try to partition or format but computer does nothing...left overnight as well. Is the size of HD causing the problem? I would like to install tiger.
thanks.

Your OEM drive was or should have been set as Cable Select which is what the MDD is designed to use and the cables support.
I would take it out, change it to CS, and move it over to the other ATA bus as well where it will not have to share bus.

  • Must have OS 10.6.5 to be compatible to the iphone 5 but the computer does not recognize the device

    I downloaded OS X 10.6.5 in order to sync my new iphone 5 to my mac.  After doing so the computer does not recognize the iphone.  I switched the backup from iCloud to sync to the computer when plugged in but nothing happens.

    If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

    I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

    I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • Computer Does not Recognize IPOD

    I have tried everything I can think of and any help would be great.
    Narrative: I have two 60GB IPod, two 4GB Nano. I purchased each of them approximately 6 months ago and all have worked very well out of the box. About two weeks ago (I believe I can time it to the date of the last update actually) the two 60GB stopped being able to communicate with the computer(acutally, within two days of each other - not both at the same time). One day it worked great - the next I came up with a "USB device not recognized" error. I tried as much of the 5 r's as possible (I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, itunes, made sure I had up-to-date hardware drivers, etc.) The one thing that I could not do was a restore as the computer does not recognize the ipods there is no way to use the restore software. The two nanos consistently have had no issues (other than not being able to hold all the information I need to carry).
    I've removed/uninstalled the USB ports and let them get rediscovered - no change
    Updated motherboard BIOS driver - no change
    uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, etc - no change
    thought about really hurting the ipod - no change sigh
    Dreamed of kicking the ipod into the air Pele style - no change
    Details: 60GB Ipod, Dell Inspiron 6000, Windows XP SP2, Latest drivers (to the best of my knowledge). Cable is tested (still works on Nanos and I've tried all four cables that came with the four ipods to no effect). USB ports recognizes all other devices that are tested.
    I can't think of anything specifically that I left out but any help you can think of would be great. I have read through most of the posts regarding this issue; however, most of the threads have devolved quickly. About the only fix I have seen that would work is "you should have never purchased a PC in the first place, get a Mac and it will work fine." This is, of coure, not an option.

    hiya!
    hmmmmm. that model is a Dell notebook, isn't it?
    if so, we'd better quickly check on this possibility:

  • Somehow my calender was erased. How do I restore it? I have time machine. Fortunately it was synched with Outlook, so I still have it there. But Ical does not recognize the Outlook file. Is there a way to restore from Outlook? resi

    Somehow my calendar in iCal was deleted. It was not archived. I have Time Machine. How do I restore? Fortunately it was synched to Outlook, so it is not lost. I would like to out it back in iCal but iCal does not recognize the Outlook file.

    Thank you. It's all back to normal (took around 7 hours on the late 2009 iMac). Time Machine's become better now compared to the last time I used it to migrate everything automatically (Snow Leopard days). With Maverick's Time Machine, it's almost like a cloning (except for the password) tool now. But it's always great to name the account and maybe the hardisk the same names so can just replace a newly installed OS.
    God bless. Thanks again.

  • Computer does not recognize powershot a590 is

    When I plug the camera to my laptop with windows 8.1 with the usb cable it came with the computer does not recognize the device. When I hit device trouble shooter same thing. I can not run the software cd because my new laptop doesnt have a cd drive. I did go to the canon site and upload the software thinking that may solve the issue, but when I get to step two of the installation and I connect the camera per directions it again can not find the device.
    I can not seem to find a driver alone for a manual installation.
    Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated!!! 

    Hi sasbuckeye!
    Thanks for posting about this.
    The drivers needed are built into Windows, so no additional driver installation is required.  I would like to gather some additional information to help determine what is causing the issue.
    Is the camera still recognized at all by other computers?
    Is your laptop connection to AC power?
    Are there any devices connected to your laptop other than the camera?
    If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.
