Installing a new 250Gb internal HD for a G4 MDD only formats as a 80G why?

i recently bought an internal 250Gb as an extra internal drive for my G4 MDD DP 1.25Mhz, managed to format it ok and got it to be recognised and all that but it only mounts as a 80Gb drive and not 250Gb... any way i can change this? or fix it? as im sure its not the drive at fault as casing says 250Gb... many thanks

There is probably something wrong with your jumper settings on the drive.
I don't see you mentioning what drive make, and most vendors do have online chart or diagram of the jumpers. And they vary from vendor to vendor (Hitachi and WDC use a different pin position, but most drives today ship as Cable Select, which is what you should use).
No mention of whether you tried to put this on its own bus or share with another drive which once in a while has some effect.
If there is only one drive, it should be on the black end cable connector.

Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

I can't install the new software 8.2 wireless from the phone only when I connect to my laptop

need help to install the new software 8.2 wireless from my phone

Howdy Punya,
It sounds like you are unable to get your phone updated by downloading it directly to the device, and it only works when you connect it to iTunes. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article with different troubleshooting depending on the issue that it is having:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
If that does not resolve, or doesn't address the issue, can you elaborate on what is happening when you try?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I was installing a new update on my MacBook Pro. With only 20% left it said "an unknown error had occured, please restart your computer." Now that I've restarted - I can't log in!

Ok, my MacBook haven't had any issues earlier, until today. At first Safari was acting kind of weird in that sense that a lot of letters were missing when you went on certain webpages, so I thought of updating since an alert-window popped up and notified that new updates were ready to be installed. So I opened up App Store through my Applications-folder and selected update.
First it asked if I wanted to connect my Mac to a powersource but since I had charged the battery to 79% I didn't think it was necessary. So I continued, computer restarted and began installing the updates.
Everything went fine until it was approximately three minutes left. An error message popped up and said something like "An unknown error has occured. Please restart your computer and try again". I pressed OK, rebooted my computer and when it asked for my password I typed it in. After I pressed OK, the computer indicated it was the wrong password. I tried multiple times and sometimes with different passwords... so now I can't simply log in! What's the problem?
TL;DR - Updated mac, failed after five minutes and now I can't log back in since "I have the wrong password"

How to create new Wage type specifically for IT14 and IT15 only

Hi Gurus,
I was assigned to create a new wage type to be used for Infotypes 14 and 15 only.
Another thing is to have this for % deduction rather than having a fixed amount ($).
Appreciate all your help.

New Portal add-in for JDeveloper

Hi,
I just installed the new Portal add-in for JDeveloper 9.0.3 which additionnally to the existing JPDK portlets supports now the new standard JSR168 portlets generation.
When trying to generate standard portlets, the wizard starts OK and all the screen are there, but when clicking on the finish button to generate the code, nothing seems to happen and no error message or anything is displayed !!
Any suggestion ??
My operating system is W2K workstation using JDeveloper 9.0.3.2.
Thanks,
P.S. I have followed the installation instruction (copying the required files into the jdev/lib/ext directory and the jdev/lib/patches directory).

George,
It sounds like you haven't followed the download and install instructions for the portlet container (called 'PDK Standards Preview' on portal studio).
Although the jdev addin can build portlets suitable for **any** jsr 168 compliant container, part of the install depends on jar files in the JWSDP 1.2 distribution which you download as part of the container install.
Check the jdev addin install doc again, specifically pre-requisite number 2.
If you don't want to use the Oracle JSR 168 container, then just download JWSDP 1.2 from java.sun.com and grab the same jar files from that. Although, note that in this case the deployment instructions in the tutorial article will not apply - as they are oc4j/jdev specific. You'll have to figure out how to deploy into your chosen container yourself.
Regards,
Gareth

Moving from original HD to a new larger internal one

My Power Mac had a 150G internal drive. I just installed a new 250G internal drive. I'd like to move all the information from my old drive to the new 250G drive and use that one as the boot drive. I will then be able to use my external 250G drive as my Time Machine backup. How do I move everything over from the old drive to the new one and then boot up from the new one?
Thank you very much.

Ludwig22,
Regarding iTunes...
First, insure that your iTunes Music folder with all of its music files is located in the Shared folder. Next, launch iTunes and open iTunes preferences from the menubar. Click on the Advanced icon, then under the General tab check to insure that the iTunes Music folder location is that same Shared folder. If it isn't, click the "Change..." button, navigate to the Shared folder, and set it as the iTunes Music folder location. While you're in the "General" window, check mark the options to keep the Folder organized and to Copy files to the Folder when adding to library.
Close the preference window, quit iTunes, and navigate to your Music folder in your Home folder. If your iTunes Music folder has been duplicated there, drag it to your Desktop. Compare this folder with the one in the Shared folder until you're satisfied that it is indeed a duplicate. If so, you may delete it after launching iTunes and looking to see that all appears to be in order. Leave the remainder of the files in the iTunes folder alone or you'll lose your Library data, artwork, playlists, etc.
Open iTunes preferences in the other user accounts and point iTunes to the Shared Library, just as you did in the first paragraph, above, so that your other accounts may access the music files stored there. Note that they, too, already have individual iTunes Music folders within their individual Music folders. These may or may not already have music files in them different from those in the Shared folder. Again, move them to the Desktop, do comparisons, consolidate the Library(s) if necessary, and launch and check iTunes, after which you may delete the individual user "iTunes Music" folders as well.

HT4718 I want to install a new internal hard drive for my Macbook (13in, Late 2009) and restore to factory settings. However, I want to keep my Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I want to install a new internal hard drive for my Macbook (13in, Late 2009) and restore to factory settings. However, I want to keep my Mac OS X Snow Leopard., which I downloaded from the app store. How can I restore computer with the updated OS?

What I did on our two computers was partition the hard drive so that both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion can be used on the computers. This allowed me to be able to retain/use older applications and games on the Snow Leopard partition. This will allow you to do a clean install of Mountain Lion on the newly created partition. The Mountain Lion installer has a button that allows you to select another drive so you don't install it over Snow Leopard. I cleverly name one partition Snow Leopard and the other one Mountain Lion so I wouldn't confuse the two (I never claimed to be smart).
To partition, you need to have sufficient free hard drive space (I suggest 50 GB minimum). Boot off the Snow Leopard DVD or the disks that came with the computer and use Disk Utility to partition your hard drive into two partitions. If you plan to make Mountain Lion your primary OS, then you can reduce the size of the Snow Leopard partition so most of the free hard drive space is available for Mountain Lion. While booted off the disk, you can install Snow Leopard on the partition you want it on.
Restart and download Mountain Lion, remembering to select the correct partition before installing. I would make a copy of the installer and move it out of the Applications folder because the installer self destructs.
After getting all that sorted out, I found that while booted in Mountain Lion I could access the Snow Leopard partition. That allowed me to drag files and applications from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Applications that won't work with Mountain Lion will be grayed out with a slash through them.

Best config for adding new 250GB HD

Greetings:
My G4 at work shipped with a 40GB drive that filled up quickly with design projects, etc. I'm on the brink of a huge catalog project, and I was down to less than 3GB of space, so I dumped all the archived stuff to an external and now have 25GB of free space to work with.
Hoping to prevent any storage/performance problems in the future, we bought a 250GB Maxtor (internal) and the Sonnet ATA/133 PCI card. At first I was thinking of partitioning the new drive to form scratch, boot and storage sections. After reading some threads here it seems partitioning would cause more problems than solve them.
So what then, would be the best configuration for the two drives to work together? I am doing some pretty heavy design work with Adobe CS and will be installing Tiger. Any ideas for the best setup for speedy and efficient operation? It'll be the first time I've added an additional HD to the rig.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Time Pilot!
I really can't tell you the "best" way to set up your drives, but I will say that I personally run partitioned drives when it suits my needs. I still use PS 7.01 and use a scratch disk on a partitioned volume, which I also use for video import and editing. I also have a volume set aside on my second internal drive for backups/archives, in addition to the clones I keep externally.
I wouldn't recommend partitioning without good reason, but I wouldn't condemn it, as some may. I've successfully done it for years. Perhaps the biggest mistake folks make when partitioning is to create too many partitions, or partitions which are too small to be useful down the line. If I could give a general guideline, I'd say that fewer partitions is better, resulting in more space per partition while minimizing wasted space. Do what makes sense for you, rather than be hamstrung during daily operations. Alternately, add yet another drive.
Regarding the card and new drive... your original drive should already be jumpered as Master, but you might check to insure it's not set for Cable Select. Put the new drive on the Sonnet card, jumpered as Master and connected to the end connector on the ribbon cable. You can leave your old drive on the logic board's bus if it's the original drive that came with the Mac. Unless it's an ATA-100 or -133 drive, you won't get any better performance from it if you install it on the second controller on the Sonnet PCI card. After installing the PCI card and drive, do a PRAM reset when you boot the first time. Then launch Disk Utility and format (initialize) the drive, using the Erase option. Format the drive with Mac OS Extended and check the box to install the OS 9 drivers, whether you plan to run OS 9 or not. It takes up no user-accessible space on the drive and you might be glad the drivers are there if you ever have to do a firmware update which OS X might not be able to handle, or something similar. You might also take the opportunity to overwrite zeros to the new drive before putting into service. This takes a few hours and is not essential, but is good insurance. The zero-overwrite process will identify and map out any bad sectors which may be on the drive, precluding their future use and insuring against consequent data corruption. If you plan on partitioning, switch to the Partition tab when you're done.
If you want to move your current startup volume to the new drive, use a cloning utility to do so. You can use the Restore option in Disk Utility, but most folks seem to prefer a third-party alternative like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper!. The former is donationware and the latter is freeware for full volume cloning. Both are very simple and effective.
If you have questions, please feel free to post them and one of the Members will be glad to help.

For those who have installed a new hard drive...

Like many of my fellow Mac-Heads, I am running out of storage spae on my little G4 12-inch. I have the 80G Fujitsu and would like to upgrade for more space. There are some 120G notbook drives on sale right now, and my scenario would go something like this:
1. Get the 120G Samsung ATA drive
2. Buy an eclosure to make the new drive an external drive
3. Run Disk Utility and copy my 80G drive contents onto the new 120G in the enclosure
4. Follow the online steps and intall the new 120G drive into the drive bay in my little G4 12-inch (looks fun and do-able!)
5. Run this configuration for a while, maybe a few weeks, and make sure it is all kosher with the new 120G drive inside.
Once complete, this would give me a new 120G internal drive and a whole 80G drive of external storage.
Problem is, I am not sure that it would work. You see, the 80G drive is partitioned and do not know how this would affect my swap.
Has anyone tried this, and what effects, if any, would I incur in the trade? How would the formatting of the new 120G drive be affected, aside from the usual "loss" of a few Gigs in the formatting process? Would it end up only being able to see the size of the original drive? (I am technically competent in the physical swap so that is not an issue.)

I did this about a year ago, but I went from 40 to 80gb. I pulled the 40 out and installed the 80. I put the 40 into a firewire enclosure. I installed a fresh copy of 10.4 onto my new 80gb. And then I transfered all the files I needed from the 40 to the 80 - i.e. back onto my powerbook.
I was lucky in that I went from 5400rpm to 7200rpm and my little revision A 12" seemed zippy again. - till I crammed it full again within 6 months. The real solution is to have a honkin' external hd to keep the really big files on.
Of course, I backed up the 40 on a separate 40gb external before I began.
Haven't looked back and I now have a small 40gb "rescue" disk.
