Iomega 500gb HDD Tv recording
I bought an Iomega 500 gb HDD, & in the instruction manual it tells me to use disk utility if I have a mac to reformat from NTFS to Mac os x journaled. Now I just want to know that if I do reformat, will I be able to record tv on my sony bravia tv when I press record on my tv remote?:) thanks,
Chris
You will if you have EYETV, but your remote will not control the TV, your MBP will.
Ciao.

It is safe to say that i need help..................
let me start at the beginning.
I have 1 2008 imac. always a pleasure never been a problem. Attached to it i have an iomega 500gb ext drive. also been ok.
until now!!
The HDD would not mount. Disk utility suggested that it was ok so i tested the imac HD. I got error code 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD- 1502. This doesnt worry me at the moment.
I attached iomega to my Mac book pro and again it would not mount. The disk utility did tell me that the iomega needed repair. it advised that i should wipe it and restore.
So I used the MB Pro disk utility to create a DMG. and saved it to the desk top. I then erased the iomega. did a repair and it all seemed ok. So then i try to do a restore.
After a very long time it said internal error with the dmg. using disk utility i did a convert dmg (compressed) and saved it to the iomega. middle of the night job!!
got up this morning and indeed it had sent the DMG to the iomega. But i could not open it. The iomega itself seemed dandy asking me if i wanted to use it as a time machine etc and it mounted ok and i saved a small jpeg to the iomega as well. I then thought that maybe when i did the convert as a compressed file i made a mistake. i'm guessing it should be a read and write so i started all over again.......... wiped iomega (which was quite quick) then tried the convert tool again.....it trys for a while then says there is not enough disk space...........I'm not sure which disk it is refering to.??
I have purchased a 1tb hard drive today incase the iomega is some how full up.
So really my question to the world is .........Help?well no reply from the community. sniff- do i stink!? - probably a little bit. If i have lost all that data then I'm gonna really really pong.
Any ways i have purchased a 1tb usb HDD and have managed to duplicate the dmg file onto it. however still unable to mount the **** thing. so now i have ordered disk warrior which will be in my possession tomorrow.
fingers toes eyes crossed. -
What is the best USB 3.0 (small) ext HDD for recording my music on
Hello everybody!
i start with saying...........
A Happy Newyear!!!!!
I wish you all the very best and love.
Now for my question.
I would like to know what is the best portable usb 3.0 external HDD for recording my music on.
Because since today i am a very happy new owner of the new Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz, with 8 GB of Ram and 256 GB of Flash.
.... and yes it has the Samsung Retina Display
Since 8 years i use Logic Pro and because the flash is only 256 Gb i want to record on a external drive
and not on the internal storage (and especially now with usb 3.0).
But i would like to know what is the best portible external HDD for this function.
500 GB is enough for me because i have 2x a 2 TB for my Mac Pro and Macbook pro where i make back ups from all my music (2 back ups just to be safe).
Some Examples i saw:
- WD My passport USB 3.0 - 500 GB harde schijf
- G-Technology 500GB G-DRIVE Slim USB 3.0-harde schijf
- LaCie 500GB Rugged Triple USB 3.0 externe harde schijf
- Freecom Mobile drive mg 500 GB harde schijf
- Western Digital My Passport Essential SE USB 3.0 500 GB harde schijf
I would really like some good advise in this.
Hope you guys can help me out with this.

The Hague, NetherlandsI cannot speak specifically about any of those Ext HDs because i don't own any of them..
But...
Make sure the external drive is 7200rpm.... and not 5400rpm or a 'green' drive with something called "varipower' or a similar name... -
Iomega external HDD - Should you eject them or just switch macbook off?
Greetings
I have an Iomega eGo HDD (Mac Edition) which I connect to my macbook via Firewire 400 and backup using Time Machine. It doesn't have a power switch on the HDD. When I want to switch my macbook off should I right-click on the Iomega icon on the desktop and click on Eject "Iomega_HDD" and then unplug the firewire cable and power the macbook off? Or can I just turn the power off on the macbook and leave the HDD connected?
Any help appreciated as the online support for the HDD doesn't mention this? I know the mac sometimes gives error messages if you disconnect devices without exiting them properly, so I just want to make sure I'm doing it right and not damaging the HDD. Can anyone help please?You can just shut down the computer (as long as the HDD stays plugged in till it's done shutting off). Finder will automatically eject all disks before shutting down.
Just make sure to eject if you're unplugging, that's all! -
I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.
Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

I want to upgrade the 500gb HDD to an SSD on an S230u with windows 8 but want clone the drive
I want to upgrade the 500gb HDD to an SSD on an Thinkpad Twist S230u with windows 8 but don't want to lose the data and programs installed on the drive and have to start over. I tried to clone it but no software could do it. I tried acronis and EasyToDo. I was able to clone it with a duplicator but it wasn't bootable. Am I to assume that what I need to do is the following - 1- Create the recovery media on a 32gb usb stick. 2- back up the drive using Acronis (or other) 3- Physically replace the drive 4- boot to the USB Recovery Media and bring the system back to it's original state out of the box but with the SSD Drive. 5- Use Acronis (or other) to restore back up made of the 500gb prior to removal. Thanks in advance! Scott Fischer
Before you start cloning your HDD with acronis, you have to prepare the SSD:
at first: connect your SSD with USB to your notebook and
1. Start CMD.EXE as Admin
2. type: "diskpart"
3. type: "select disk x " x = Letter of your SSD
4. type: "list partition" the drive should be unformatted
5. type: "create partition primary align=1024"
6. type: "active"
7. type: "format fs=ntfs" --> wait some minutes
8. type: "assign letter=x" --> For example "x"
9. type: "exit"
Start acronis true image 2013 (trial version)
select "Backup" without empty sectors
you can select any partitions, so also the the invisible lenovo backup paritions
The Backup can be "Restore"-d to the SSD, incl. GPT (MBR like in UEFI Systems)
After all, the SSD is ready to use. Booting on USB gives here a blue screen. I tought it was my fault. It isnt. You can build in the SSD into your SATA Port and Windows 8 will boot very well.
Sorry for my bad english -
I want to clone my existing original equipment 500GB HDD to a new 1TB replacement HDD. How to?
G'Day,
I'm gettin too big for my old 500GB HDD, so I bought a new 1TB HDD.
Now, I have the set of rescue disks I made when I first fired up my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU Laptop. I could use them & fresh install all the original computer software & OS, but then I would have to start from scratch & re-install all the software I have installed, besides redoing all the tweaks & modifications I 've made to the Windows 7 OS since day one---over a year ago.
Really not how I want to spend the next week or two +/-.
I'd like to clone the orig. 500GB HDD & all its contents to a new 1TB HDD.
Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small issue. I've been told that if I do just that I will have about 500gb of new available space, but I was also told I won't be able to create any new drive partitions on the new HDD because of some way the existing partitions on the original HDD are created.
1. Is that true?
2. If not, where can I find a failsafe procedure for accomplishing the clone, & then creating 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.
3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse don't give me brain cramps with techno lingo..tnx)
Some additional information that might be important.
At present my HDD has this configuration:
Now that ( Q ) Local Disk Is diferent. It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes Used, & I dont have access to it.
My wife's computer...a different Laptop model CQ62... also has the same drive,
but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter...also 0 bytes available & used---also no access to it, & like below, not showing in Dmgt.
This drive does not show up in my DISK MANAGEMENT Configuration: http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg
Thanks for your time & consideration.....Bobby
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese
This question was solved.
View Solution.Ok....it is done!!
I used my friends HDD CLONING DOCKING STATION exactly like this one, but he purchased it 2 years ago from a different seller.
All I did was take my Original 500GB Drive & placed it into slot A (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1TB Drive into slot B (the second slot behind Slot A..the middle - Slave). I turned the power on the Box. I waited till the drives spun up & were ready, & then all I did was press the red button on the Box...
The 25% light started flashing & the cloning began....
About 40 minutes later the 50% light started flashing & the 25% light stayed steady.
This meant that 25% of the process was done, & it was proceeding to 50%. \
This sequence continued until eventually all the lights were on steady (25% thru 100%) which meant the clone was complete.
I estimate it took about 2 hours & 15 minutes to clone completely.
I shut down the Box by turning off the power. I then removed both drives.
I carefully installed the new drive into the notebook computer, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged in the notebook's power supply/charger/adapter.
I then crossed my fingers & hit the notebook's power button.
Within seconds my notebook was booting up as always. I just had to check to make sure I really did install the new drive...& yes the one on the desk was the original, which definitely meant that the drive booting my notebook was indeed the new drive I just cloned to.
My notebook booted flawlessly!! without a hitch. Exactly as it always had.
I used My Computer Management Administrative tool--Disk Management & made a simple volume for the 450+ GB of free space, assigning the next available drive letter -- in my case Drive (F) & I named it as well.
Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write to the new partition/volume. As I noted earlier, I probably wont be able to boot from anything but my (C) Drive, but that's fine for me.
So, what did I learn?
Well, firstly, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can upgrade to 1TB of HDD without any modifications.
Using the Cloning method I did definitely saved me at least 1 full weeks of re-installation work if I chose the Fresh install method using the Backup/Rescue Disks I created when the computer first was started way back when.
Outside of the 2+ hours of time it took to clone the drive, the 15 +/- minutes to originally remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (all of 5-10 minutes) the procedure was a clear cut simple one, which I know could have been done otherwise, but not as simply as the method I chose.
Pepe, thank you very much for the time you spent researching my questions & responding to my post.
I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks were not realized, & in the end it was possible to accomplish the task contrary to our initial concerns---matter in factly with the greatest of ease.
Here are some pics of the Clone Station (the Box) exactly like the one I used:
Cheers to all,

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?Ouch, well there is a problem.
This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
Emtpy Space (100GB say)
This is what you want
EFI (hidden)
Lion (100GB say)
Bootcamp (100GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
And you only have four partitions.
You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
This is what your going to need to do.
You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware. -
Help please: iOmega external HDD not mounting
Hello,
I hope someone can help me 1) solve this problem and 2) give me some tips on how to avoid if it was self induced.
My iOmega external HDD won't automatically mount. It does not display in Disk Profiler. In System Profiler I can see an unknown Firewire device which I believe is it. It has data on it currently so I'd prefer not to have to format it! I tried searching some other threads but they tend to be very specific.
Thanks!Hi, za_. Is this a bus-powered portable USB2 drive? If so, it probably demands a little more power than the port it's connected to can provide. In that case, the problem can be resolved by supplying power to it from (a) an auxiliary power cable that draws additional power from your Powerbook's second USB port, or (b) its own AC adapter, if it came with one, or if one is available as an option for it. If the drive enclosure has no port on it for an auxiliary power input, then (c) you'll have to interpose an AC-powered USB hub between the computer and the drive. Option A is the best, because it isn't bulky and preserves the portability of the drive. Option C is the worst, because it's the bulkiest of the three.
If your drive isn't a 2.5" portable unit, please supply exact details about what model it is and how it's powered, and we'll see about other explanations for the problem. -
iMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 GB "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?
I've tried cleaning up the HDD from HD tool twice and pressed command-option-P-R while restarting the Mac afterwards. The avaliable HDD space "improved" from 1.3 MB to 121 MB after the first restart and descresed down to 119MB after the second restart. I have kept very little AV files as well as doucment files. My application programs are just several GB. Is this a system problem. Do I have to reinstall the system?
Much appreciate any advice!!

I'm a bit confused about optimal/correct set up for L530 ThinkPad equipped with 16GB mSATA SSD cache drive and 500GB HDD. ExpressCache is installed and works properly.

Please advise.
Thanks.

500GB HDD for White 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?
My current HDD is a 120GB FUJITSU MHW2120BH and I desperately need to upgrade the HDD. I would like to use a 500GB and have found this Seagate http://thurly.net/7wq which I believe should fit but would like to know if will or if there is a better 500GB HDD to use?
Thanks.Thanks for that.
The XT500 Hybrid is twice the price of the other HDD so I'm not sure paying the extra will be worth it.
Guess I will just have to see how I feel when ready to order. -

what is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro. This is a pre unibody machine.
I am upgrading at the minute and can't make my mind up. I need a 7200rpm drive, but have heard some stories concerning overheating etc.
These are the drives I am looking at: Seagate Momentus, Hitachi Travelstar and Western Digital all 500GB, running at 7200rpm.If you haven't already, you might look a the user comments at http://www.newegg.com on those hard drives.

500GB HDD in SPLIT 13-M100EIA Model
Hi,
I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this...
I am about to purchase a Split X2 but before I do, I want to know if:
1. A 500GB HDD can be installed inside the base of the SPLIT 13-M100EIA X2.
2. If I can upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB
Thanks.
Link to the system in particular is
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=ie&dlc=en&docname=c03942882&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_ie...
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello Dean / Huffer, thanks for the reply
About the Service manual, I just wanted to be 100% certain
that it also applies to the 13-M100EIA model, cause
it looks more like a generic manual for all 13-M*** models
rather than being model specific.
2. "Why not just order it directly"? Well finance
I live in an EMEA region,
Customizing directly from HP would cost US$1,300
Shipping to my country would cost me about US$425
Total = US$ 1,745
Buying the basic offering locally costs about $970
Upgrade about US$150-200
Total = US$1120-1170. Makes more sense, dont you agree?
Besides should there be a problem in the future,
HP service and support would not even touch it, if it were purchased outside the region.
