Is it possible to make two type of partitions onto an external drive?

Hi,
I'm on an intel iMac using Tiger and I know to back up my hard drive I need to choose the GUID partition and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order to be able to boot from the partition.
So if I make 4 partitions is it possible to make 3 partitions GUID Mac Extended (Journaled) and then make 1 that is Apple Partition Map? I tried it and I couldn't figure it out using my Tiger Install disk and selecting Disk Utility option.
My sister is using a Powerbook PC G4 also using Tiger and I want to make a bootable copy for her as well but just wondering if this can be done?
S.

Niel,
Thanks, so if I format it all as APM I can either clone OSX 10.4.11 which I have on my internal now. If I do a backup of my intel and Powerbook PC both of those will already have Tiger on them so do I need to do another Tiger install on each of those partitions?
Also by doing it this way I can't boot from a parition onto my intel can I?
Guess I'll have to weigh whose system is more important or just back up her drive as GUID on my computer and she can restore from it if she has too but won't be able to boot from it.

Is it possible to make a type cast in TestStand?

I've got the following problem.
I use a receive function which waits for an undefined package. (struct package).
The problem is i can't specify the module with the exaxt package.
Generally in C i define a Pointer and create enough buffer for it. Is it the same in TestStand?
Is it possible to make a type cast?
for example:
i've got these packages
struct packet;
struct data;
the function does not know which structure to receive.
err = receive(buffer,maxlen);
how do i specify the buffer variable?
can i create a type "void" with a String to have enough buffer.
and then to make a type cast, for example "Locals.dataobject = ((data)Locals.buffer)"
any ideas?
thx for help

Unfortunately there is no way to do type-casts in TestStand. What you could do is write a wrapper-dll in C, that has for example two parameters for both possible structs. The dll then takes one of the parameters, does the typecast and passes it on to your original dll.
From TestStand you can pass the struct(or better container in the "TestStand language") you want to use to the accoridng parameter of the wrapper-dll, leaving the other parameter empty or with some default-value.
Hope this helps!

When I make back-up by time-machine on external drive,my computer do the same on his Hard Drive...

When I make back-up by time-machine on external drive,my computer do the same on his Hard Drive...So I loose all of the capacity of the HD...I notice that only today but the problem is critical...The backups on the HD take 400 Go on my 500 Go SSD...
I've got a MBP Retina 15' Octobre 2013_Processor 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7_Memory 16 Go 1600 MHz DDR3

Click on the  icon on the menu bar and retrieve this display:
(This is from mine)
What is listed under 'Backups' are the 'local snapshots'. In my case I do not have any.
Run a Time Machine update and the Backups should be reduced.

Is it possible to make this type of network with router i have?

I have Linksys WRT54GC router at home and i share internet to all my PCs through the router.
Is it possible to share internet firstly through my PC, and then through this router to all other pcs? If it is possible how i should configure my router? If not - do i have to buy some kind of switch to make this type of network?
Example scheme:
(Net)
---------------------------- PC1 (with 2 NIC)
(routing) /
router ------/
| |___ PC2
\___ PC3
I have now this configuration of my PC's and router, but internet on PC2 is not working, but PC2 and router see each other. But ping between PC1 and router (192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2) says "no response":
MY FIRST PC:

Router:

It is not clear to me what the exact problem is. The screenshots show that everything is correct. The second PC should have internet with this setup. PC1 won't be able to ping the router on 192.168.0.2 if you block ICMP (anonymous WAN requests) on the router. That setting should be on the Security tab.
I would suggest to set up the WRT as simple wireless access point. That way you still have full LAN connectivity between all your computers. To do that, you have to temporarily wire a computer to a LAN port of the router. Unplug the gateway computer from the router! There is only a single computer connected to the WRT at the moment.
Open http://10.10.10.1/ or whatever LAN IP address you have set on the WRT at the moment. On the Setup tab, change the internet connection type to "Automatic/DHCP", change the LAN IP address from 10.10.10.1 to 192.168.0.2, disable the DHCP server. Now press the save settings button. You'll loose the connection to the router. That's OK.
Now rewire the router. Connect a LAN port of the router to the gateway computer. Do not use the internet port on the WRT! That is the basic setup.
Now wired computers connected to the remaining 3 LAN ports on the WRT should have LAN and internet access. In the same way, wireless clients connect into the ICS LAN and have internet.

Is it possible to make two different backup over two external HD with time machine?

The problem:
Into my iMAC I have 1) work (text and design and photo) and 2) photo (my hobby)
Directory of work is quite light, and Time Machine is very appropriate
The directory photo is very big, many Gb, and TM cancel old backup of work and photo.
I want, if possible:
To make the backup of Works on the first external HD, excluded the files of directory Photo
To make the bacup of photo on the second external HD, excluded the files of directory Works
Thanks,
architettomario

Using TimeMachine you can have more than one backup drive but only set up a single set of exclusions. To do what you want to do will require another backup program. For example you might use TimeMachine to back up your documents and then another program, such as ChronoSync, to back up just your photos.

Can i make (for example) 3 partitions on my external Hard Drive, and make different formatations for each, so i can share files of one of them in a pc and mac?

Hello ...
My name is Rui, i'm from Portugal ... (so please be patiente with my english, it can get a bit confusing)
so... first of all ... i have to say ... i'm still a pc user ... i don't have a Mac ... yet ... they are sold out right now in the shops near me ... i am waitting for them to arrive so i can pick up mine ... (i wish in a couple of days i will be entering the Mac world ....) ... i'll be picking the "entery" iMac model, the 21,5'', i5 with 500gb hard disk ... well .. i know it's the cheapest one (i hope it is a good machine tho) ... but it's my entering Mac world too (my only apple products till know were the ipod ...) ... one of my concerns are being the 500gb hard drive ... that for my pc experience is a little bit short ... that makes me a little scared (but paying 300e for the next model to have a 1tb disk, it's not a good option for me right now) ...
so..
I've been reading a lot about iMac's ans OS X so i can get familiar with this all new world ...
and i couldn't get any answer for some of my doubts... so i decided to ask you Mac Users ..
My idea is to have an external HD to store files (and not to fill the 500gb of the iMac) ... and i am wondering if it would be possible to make this ...
- make three partitions on the external Hard Drive and
- the first be formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled) mode
- the second on fat 32 - so i can store and share files with a mac or pc
- third be reserved for Time Machine
i wonder would that be possible... or would make sort of incompabilities ... would it work all well ?
hummm ...
I hope someone can help me with this ...
... if it is a silly question ... sorry ... but please remember, i've never had a Mac computer (i'm waiting for my 1st iMac to be available on store) ... so a lot of things are "flying" in my head right now ...
... and of course .. sorry for my english ... i hope you all understood me ...
thanks (obrigado) a lot for your patience...
Rui from Portugal

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)

Make a second copy on import to external drive and copy the file by date

In earlier versions I made second copies of files imported to an external hard drive. The files would import and automatically create a capture date file folder in the same manner as importing by date to the primary internal drive. At some point this feature seems to have gone away and now I get a folder on the external drive: p:\\pictures\2014\Imported on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. What I would like is: p:\\pictures\2014\2014-04-22
Is there anyway to force this to happen? I really hate having to manually move lots of files and create folders to keep the system I have had for years that organizes my files by date of capture on both the primary and backup drives.

Short answer: No. That is the way it is.
Why? The Make Second Copy during Import is designed to be a backup of your memory card processes-not a back up of your files as you store them on disk. It is intended to be a transient copy that allows you an immediate backup until such time as a File System Level backup can be performed, allowing you to have two copies so that you can reformat your memory cards.
I agree it would be nice if the folder storage strategy was duplicated for the backup as it is created for the import but that is not something you can set the program to do currently. I remember it behaving differently versions ago but do not recall exactly how it used to work.

How can I merge two iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive?

Today I was in a One-to-One at the Apple Store. I want to merge two i-Photo libraries into one. One library is on my Air, the other is on my iMac. Both libraries have been moved to an external drive. When I try to move one onto the other, they won't go. Yet I am certain that while at the store today, the person there started to merge them. He did not need the library manager software in order to do so. We stopped the merge in order to move on to another issue. Now that I am home, I can't get the libraries to merge. What am I failing to do? Thanks!

The only way to merge two libraryies is to use iPhoto Library Manager which will merge two libraries and keep keywords, titles, faces, places, and other metadata intact.
If one imports one library into another library every image file in the first library, originals, thumbnails, face files, etc, get imported as an original photo. You will end up with a total mess. DO NOT IMPORT ONE LIBRARY INTO ANOTHER LIBRARY!
If you have backup copies of your libraries get them back and use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them.

Make use of Seagate 120gb SATA as external drive for imac

I have a nice seagate barracuda 120gb drive in my PC, which I virtually don't use. I was wondering whether there is a way I could use the drice as external firewire drive for my iMac g4 1ghz. Can you actually leave it in the PC and connect to it via a Firewire card in the PC or do you need to take it out, put it into a case with Firewire adapter and use it that way? If so, can you recommend a decent case at good price?
Thanks,
Matthias
imac g4 1ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. I believe your choices are:
Network the two machines such that you can share the storage space.
iFelix's Tech Pages provides details of the set-ups required, you can network over Ethernet, Firewire or Wirelessely.
Or get a SATA to FW/USB2 enclosure. It should be firewire as you need FW to boot a PowerPC OS X Mac from an external drive.
I don't believe a PC can do Target Mode so that rules out that option.

Merge Two Macbook iPhoto libraries Onto 1 External HD

Hi. I have backed up my iPhoto library from what I'll call MacBook "a" onto a 1tb external hard drive. I did this buy dragging the iPhoto icon over. It worked.
I also have a very small iPhoto library on Macbook "b." I would like to merge this Macbook "b" library onto the same external hard drive. When I have tried exporting the files from macbook b, however, they photos are copying to the hard drive, but not to the iPhoto library.
Is there a way to merge two distinct iPhoto libraries, from two distinct computers onto 1 external hard drive?
Thanks.
John.

If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager

Is it possible to make two different backups for one device?

So, here is the problem: i got an 8 gig 4, and since for now i didn't have enough money to buy, which i would like to have, a 64 5. I found out recently that social medias are wasting my memory, which also a problem that we can't delete caches. I'm just curious that if we can do more than one backup files from one device?

You can back up to both iTunes and iCloud. The following link has a section on using the two methods together. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
Also, the following link gives the location of the iTunes backup and suggests including that in your regular computer backup -- which would effectively give you multiple backups via iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946

Is it possible to install two OSX`s on one internal hard drive?

I tried to make a new, 30GB free partition formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but I can`t install OS X 10.6 from my original DVD there. Says "Mac OS X can`t be installed on this computer". Why?

I thought about some solutions,but I don`t know if any of them is true.
1) The original OS X DVD recongizes, that it has been installed and not erased yet and it doesn`t allow second installation.
2) My MacBook has replaced internal hard drive because of an error. In an authorised Apple service they gave me a new one with preinstalled OSX. But I don`t think that OSX install DVD is matched with hard drive.
3) DVD is broken.
Please help.

Is it possible to store photos taken a trip , on an external drive connected to iPhone 4s 32 GB?, Is it possible to store photos taken a trip , on an external drive connected to iPhone 4s 32 GB?

I've just acquired an Iphone 4s 32gb model. If I take many photos on a trip, which together
with the apps already installed, they will soon fill up the memory.
What is the best way of storing them till I get home and d/l to my iMac?
Is it possible to connect a USB stick etc. to keep them on or ???
many thanks in advance
Alan

If you have wifi hotspots during your trip, you could store them online with solutions like Dropbox (not sure the photo stream would be helpful in this case but can't say for sure)
