Installing a 2nd hard drive and my USB stop working

Hello! I have a G4 digital audio with a Quicksilver processor installed. I have the IBM Deskstar hard drive as my master and am trying to install a 2nd 80gb Western Digital internal hard drive. The computer is recognizing the 2nd drive to reformat it, but all of my usb accessories have stopped functioning. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

mdfpaf, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you place the jumper(s) on the 2nd drive to designate it as Slave. Since it's recognized, you probably did.

I had Itunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed

I had ITunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed. I tried to install a new copy of ITunes and it keeps looking for the ITunes that was on the one that crashed. How do I keep ITunes install package from looking for the old install.

No reason to. I always a cloned copy of my operating systems so I can reclone it back in case the the one I use dies.

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

I installed a new hard drive and trying to reinstall FCP2 and on the install disc i get the following message - "You can't open the application FC Studio.mpkg because power PC applications are no longer supported"

I installed a new hard drive and trying to reinstall FCP2 and on the install disc i get the following message - "You can't open the application FC Studio.mpkg because power PC applications are no longer supported"

Because you are running lion.. FCS 6 is a Power PC app and Lion doesn't support Power PC anymore.. So you can't install it.. Three options..
1. Revert back to Snow Leopard.
2. Purchase FCP X...
if you can't stand FCP X
3. Call apple directly, 1800-MYAPPLE and ask to purachse FCS 3 for $999... (its FCP 7)
I just got FCS 3 today through apple phone sales..

I recently installed a new hard drive and don't know how to install the software.

I recently installed a new hard drive and now when I turn it on, it just shows a blinking file with a question mark on it. What do I do now? How do I install the software if I can't get on the internet from my MacBook? Can the apple store do it for me?

Which operating system version did you have?
We also need to know which exact model Mac (almost always include this information when you post - saying MaBookPro is almost as bad as saying "Ford car" in terms of the variety of submodels) because some newer models can boot from the Internet.

I just need to know how you get an iTunes library off the original hard drive of a mac and onto an external hard drive and still have it work normally?

First, note that this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to contact Adobe, you'll need to call or write them on their main site.
That said, as the note says at the top of the forum, you're going to have to provide us a lot more information if you want us to help you. "Stopped working" doesn't tell us much. Does this mean that it was working in the past but then stopped? What stopped? What did it do that it's not doing now? What were you doing when it stopped? Was it when you were adding video to your project, for instance?
What operating system are you using? If Windows, have you manually gone to Windows Update and made sure you've got the non-critical updates, which don't download automatically to your system? Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements?
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from your camcorder to your Premiere Elements project?

You can find your current profile using about:support pasted into the location bar then click on "Open Containing folder. That is where you will want to replace your old files into.
Next find your old profile on your old HD, see

With Firefox down replace the profile files you decide to replace.

Power Mac G4 Won't Boot after Installing 2nd Hard Drive and Additional RAM

Hello. I am using a Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics) that I bought a few weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine until I tried to add an additional hard drive and add more RAM to the machine. After I closed the case and plugged it back in, it won't start up at all. No sound, no lights, nothing spinning, nothing. I removed the added hard drive and RAM, but it still refuses to start. I don't know what happened. Hopefully it's not a logic board failure or anything else equally bad.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

I'll ask a moderator to move your thread. Try replacing the clock battery, and hitting the CUDAS switch.

Installing a new hard drive and using Time Machine to Restore system

I just upgraded a Macbook (2006) hard drive and had problems importing the Time Machine backup. The problem was that the initial install discs were for Tiger, which did not support Time Machine. After numerous attempts at a work-around I solved this problem the following way:
I connected the 2006 Macbook (with new hard drive) to a newer Macbook (with Firewire port) - one with install discs for Leopard (which supports Time Machine).
I launched the newer Macbook with the install disc (#1)
I connected the two Macbook via firewire cable.
I launched the 2006 (new hard drive) Macbook in the Target Disc mode.
I connected the USB external hard drive containing the Tme Machine data to a USB port in the newer Macbook.
Next I went to the Utilities Menu on the Macbook (operating from the Install Disc) and selected Time Machine. I followed the prompts to match the source and destination. The process worked fine.
The above assumes that a new hard drive is properly formatted using Disc Utility per Apple's guidance prior to the Time Machine restoration described above.
Cheers.

Bill,
No, the glass is half full!! In this case, we (collectively) have three things to brighten our day:
1) That I was mistaken, and that your usage is completely legitimate. I definitely prefer this to what was inherent in my erroneous assumption, and I do not mind being wrong (not in the slightest).
2) That we can be clever enough to overcome obstacles, then go out of our way to share our newfound knowledge with others. More specifically, that you have done so.
3) That we are willing to police ourselves, if and when one of us might go astray. Even if I was wrong in this case, isn't it nice to know I am willing scold someone for being less than honorable?
Perhaps my greatest mistake was the assumption that, if you had the proper disks at one time, you would still have them, or would have said so in your initial post. My apologies. Technically speaking, the media for a given OS should always be somewhere in your possession when running that OS. In practice, however, I strongly believe that some "wiggle room" exists, guided by common sense. In this case, I believe that the fact that you purchased said media gives you a pass, regardless of whether or not you know off the top of your head where it is.
There. Are you still saddened?
