Installing a Seagate 500 GB Internal HD in a G5 PowerPC 1.8Ghz Dual Core

I have just installed a Seagate 500GB SATA Hard Drive in my PowerPC, and wanted to optimize the performance to handle some intense Final Cut Pro activity. The original 80GB Maxtor 6Y080M0 is hardly big enough to store the program empty, so my First Question is: Do I configure the system to use both Drives, OR, Should I mirror the 80GB to the new 500GB & then REMOVE the 80GB to REPLACE with another 500GB Seagate?
If I were to do the latter, What is the easiest way to do the mirror/switch procedure, versus what is the BEST procedure.
Second Question: Do I leave the Jumper ON or OFF for the 1.5Gb-3.0Gb/s setting?
I am not very computer savvy- but if given good instruction I will follow it to the letter.
Thanks for the help!

First problem Solved! I put the Seagate 500GB into lower slot B, plugged the Hard Drive into the waiting connectors, turned on the computer, let Disk Utility initialize the Drive, Downloaded the program "SuperDuper", Backed up the 80GB Start up Drive, then made the 500GB the new Start-up Drive. Voila! Super simple!
Once I verified all was well with the new setup, I then went on macsales.com and bought a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA II 32MB Cache for $132 bucks! If you're wondering how these new Seagates measure up to Western Digital & Hitachi, just check out this article @ www.barefeats.com/hard94.html and see for yourself.
Anyway, I got the 750GB today, so I took out the old Maxtor 80GB, put the 750GB in it's place, which by the way, I had to borrow the screws from the old drive as well as taking the spares from out of the Drive Bay before I got the 750GB in slot "A" and the 500GB in lower slot "B". Done.
Boot-up, OS/X loads as usual, Disk Utility sees the new drive, Initializes, I start SuperDuper, copy 500GB to 750GB, make 750GB the Start-up Disk, Re-Boot, Done-638 gigabytes free space!
The first Mirror Back-up took about an hour and forty minutes to move 65 gigabytes from the 80GB to the 500GB. When I did the Mirror Back-up from the 500GB to the 750GB it took 64 minutes! These drives ran without a sound, no heat, the fans never went above idle, and transfer rates were between 14MB/s & 24 MB/s, which basically worked out to about a Gig a minute!
What really blows me away is how much cooler and QUIETER my G5 runs now. So go for it, if I had it to do all over again, I would have bought two 1TB Drives and been done with it, but we'll see how this goes for now.

Seagate 500 gig 7200.10 not recognized

I installed a seagate 500 gig 7200.10 SATA drive into my G5. On boot-up it says the drive is not supported. I'm running OS 10.4.8. It gave me three options 1. initialize 2. Ignore 3. eject. Checking the system profile, the drive is there. Here is the system profile information of my original HD:

Do I initialize or is this drive not supported. Is there a way to maunt this drive? I was under the impression from all the forums I've visited, that this drive was not a problem. Even Seagate's presales said that it would work.
Thanks for any information you guys have.

"Do I initialize or is this drive not supported."
Yes. Naturally you'd need to format/initialize the drive before you can use it.

Dual Core Intel - can I install non-universal software?

Can I install the non-universal version of Adobe Creative Suite onto my new G5 dual-core duo?

Yes you can, I've done it myself and it works pretty good.
Usually doing this results in slower performance because the application's binaries aren't a type Intel's processor can read. So Apple's application Rosetta compiles these binaries and translates them to Intel to be read by the computer.
This all happens while you running the application, which is why performance is slower.
Not to worry much about the technical terms, I'm sure all you want to know is if it's possible, and it is.

500 GB internal HD in late 2007 iMac?

I need to purchase a new internal HD and found a 500 GB Hitashi from OWC. I am curious to know if my iMac (late 2007 20" 2.4 Ghz) will be compatible?

Hello SpeAker-HeAd
I'm very happy with the WD Caviar Blue that replaced my factory installed 160GB Seagate HD a few months ago. I installed the new WD, booted from the clone on my Maxtor FireWire, set the partition scheme and format, then Restored from the clone with out a hitch.

Apple branded ROM Seagate 500 GB Hard Disk for G5 1.6 GHz

I've been reading all the threads here regarding adding/replacing the internal HD's in G5's.
I just bought a used Power Mac G5 1.6 GHZ/80 GB/1 GB RAM/Combo Drive (didn't like that surprise... it was a built to order....guess I'll be getting a Pioneer replacement for that too).
This G5 is in my recording studio and I need to add a large drive as the media drive for my digital audio recording projects since audio generates large files like video applications do.
I've been using the Mac since it was first released in 1984. As a result, I remember all the years of Apple's "special" ROM in their hard disks which made it more of a pain to use other HD's from various sources. Since I did have drives from different suppliers, I've used the old Silverlining software from LaCie over the years to deal with drives that Apple Disk utilities couldn't/wouldn't see.
I see that OWC has a special on Apple branded ROM Seagate 500 GB and 750 GB drives.
The text states that the drive will have a one year OWC warranty.
So I guess the two questions are:
1. Does it matter any more if the ROM on the hard disk is an Apple ROM or will anything pretty much work. Are there any advantages to having a drive with an Apple ROM in it? Would these be a "better' candidate for use as a boot drive beacuse of the Apple ROM?
2. What's up with the one year warranty? I see the other comparable drives are usually all 5 years.
Should the one year OWC warranty be of any concern? Obviously, 5 years is better than one year.
I'm assuming these are a discontinued item or were bought from Apple as OEM stock?
So should I care more about the longer drive warranty or the Apple ROM on these seagates from OWC?
Thanks for putting up with another G5 internal HD question.
John

I forgot to put the OWC link in that takes you the Apple ROM 500 GB Seagate I referenced in my original post.

Seagate 500 GB Drive

I have an interesting situation with Seagate 500 GB drive I recently installed in my Sawtooth G4. The drive is a Seagate 7200.10.
My computer recognizes the drive, and really, the drive works. However, If I connect an ultra 133 cable to it, my computer cannot download/convert a music CD from iTunes.....My computer crashes. My computer can read files from this drive, and save to it from applications like Word. iTunes will even playback songs that are downloaded to this drive. So everything works, my computer just won't download to this drive from iTunes.
Now here's what's weird. If I connect this drive to my computer via and old IDE cable, my computer will download to it from iTunes, and it works fine for every application I use. The old cable I am referring to is a 3M IDE cable that reads AWM 2651, VW-1, 105 C, 300 V, 28AWG.
The suspect Ultra Cable reads AWM 20276, VW-1, 80 C, 300 V, 30 AWG.
I connect large drives to the motherboard via a SIIG Ultra ATA controller.
So, can anyone give an explanation for this strange occurrance.
Thanks,
Ray

Hello Ray,
There are a couple of posts on the SIIG card. It may prefer Western Digital to Seagate drives, and it may prefer cable select to master/slave cabling. Mine worked initially when I used already an already formatted drive - I think an ATA-100 Seagate drive with the factory supplied 80 conductor ribbon, but I don't remember for sure. Might have been a mule. Disaster struck when I went to erase and install OSX (Tiger).
Not sure what the diference in cables would be; I think the 80 conductor ATA-100 cables simply supply a ground for each pin.
Hope I'm not leading you astray with a red herring; I still think it's the card, somehow. Don't know how you'd check it. I've used Acard and Sonnet controller cards - and also some awfully raggedy cables - with never a problem.
Regards ..... Jon

Cf 10 500.0 Internal Server Error

I can't believe Adobe has the nerve to charge what they charge for ColdFusion, but they can't even make it install correctly on IIS 7.
How do we get past the 500.0 Internal Server error in IIS 7 when trying to hit the CF Admin page after install?

@MonkeySaysWhat1,
The mandatory update thing is to patch a problem with Adobe's security certificate (this is not the fault of the ColdFusion development team but of the top-level Adobe security certificate process) which then allows you access to the rest of the ColdFusion 10 updates. Adobe rebuilt the installers already to integrate a previous mandatory update, but a new mandatory update came out after that.
And while it would be nice if Adobe reissued installers after each update comes out, that is not really feasible. They would have had to do that 15 times to date (counting 13 updates and two mandatory certificate updates). How would people keep track of which version of the installer they had? And if an update breaks a previously working build (which has happened), how could people revert back to a previous build to at least be functional until the broken update is fixed?
Anyway, now that you have installed the mandatory update, follow Anit's instructions to remove the IIS connector, and re-enable the internal port so you can access the CF Administrator using the built-in web server. Then apply the latest update (update 12 is the latest that is relevant to Windows as update 13 only fixed a Mac OSX issue). This will include a bunch of web connector fixes. Once update 12 is installed, run the Web Server Configuration tool to reconnect IIS.

How Big a Backup Drive is Needed for a 500 GB Internal drive?

I just bought a MacBook Pro (15 inch, mid 2012) with a stock 500 GB internal hard drive. I want to buy a USB 3.0 external drive for a Time Machine backup drive.
Bearing in mind that I don't keep photos or any significant quantities of big visual media (movies, etc.) on my Macs, it will take several years to even fill my internal drive halfway.
How large an external drive do I need for a backup? One vendor has suggested 1 TB, but I wanted to check with the community before purchasing.

See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #1.
You also might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQs.

Can you mention what are the settings done in Receiver HTTP channel.....the request that you send to target is not in proper format.
One reason could be incorrect Content Type.....is it text/XML ?

The message "fails" in the receiving system with the following error:

try sending the same XML message picking from moni and check whether you are getting same error or not?
if you get same error then check at web server for logs there you can find exact error.

Help with opening up a Seagate Barracuda SATA Internal HardDrive on my Macbook Pro!

Hi Everyone!
I have two questions that I would really love someone to
help me out with!!
I really need help trying to open three Seagate Barracuda SATA Internal HardDrive that I was given to edit
dailies for a feature film! I tried all three and only one worked - however, didn't opened but wanted me to intialize
it and reformat it so it can be discovered and opened. But all three contain video and audio files within them, so I cannot
reformat these drives!
And with the other two, apparently they can be opened on a PC but I have to edit my dailies
on Final Cut 7 - and from what I know, Final Cut Pro is not avaiable for PCs!!
If there is anyone that can answer these two question, please respond soon!!
Thanks!

I suspect those HDDs are NFTS formats. Paragon may be the answer for you then:

Regarding Final Cut, I suggest you post that part of your query on the Final Cut forum where you will have the best chances for an accurate solution.
Ciao.

Wiki Server :500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request

Greetings,
10.6.6 server
Out of the blue our wiki server decided not to work anymore.
This issue is limited to the wiki server. (all other services work fine)
Users can log in authenticate and edit personal preferences, blogs etc.
I have removed Globalindex.db and sessions.db and allowed the index to rebuild with appropriate starts stops of teams. I have cleared out old users who's plist preferences could not be loaded.
All data is in place.
AFP permissions are solid.
User gets "500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry." selecting a wiki or blogs, very polite but repeatedly unhelpful.
As soon as a user clicks on an group the following error shows in the log:
2011-02-09 13:45:34-0600 [-] Exception rendering:

I run many different kinds of systems here and I'm kind of stumped as I am not a developer.
any help at all would be great! thanks.

Hi,
Although this forum is for 10.5 server, after looking through the log errors my guess is that you have a corrupted PageGenerationTemplate.py file. I would replace the file with one from a backup file dated before the problem started.
Once you replace the file restart the web service.
