Looking for the best hard drive digital camcorder!!

I was in the store today and asked a couple sales reps, each giving me their opinions that personally didn't sound like "educated" opinions. I want a hard drive camcorder with 60 GB and that is the "best" meeting that criteria. Should I look at Canon's, Panasonics, JVC, or Sony??? I want it to be super easy to use with ease of DVD creating as well. Battery life should be good also. Vista compatible a must. I would appreciate any "educated" opinions that I can get. Thank you..

1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu one. Set the format type to MS-DOS. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to MBR then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
The drive should be usable on both a PC and a Mac.

What's the best Hard Drive for TM? USB or FIrewire?

What's the best Hard Drive for TM? USB 2.0 or FIrewire 400 or 800?
Any recommendations would be great. Need about 1TB.

The most recent is 1TB, and cost about the same as the previous one which was 500GB. The first d2 was only a little cheaper and was 60GB!
Same experience here! They keep the price about the same but you get double the storage, so the price of storage has been going down big time! But now I find myself ******* after Drobo Hey, that editor whacked me for "l u s t i n g" that isn't foul language is it?

You posted this same question 24 hours ago, which has a reply. Did you have questions on that answer or did you want further discussion? You could reply to that thread, there's no need to start a new thread.

What is the Best Hard Drive for a Powerbook Pismo 200 and best size for sto

I have a Power book G3 Pismo 2000 which came with a 10 GB Hard Drive. It is almost full and I want to upgrade the Hard drive to a bigger and I do not know the best hard drive and what is the maximum space I will need? Can you recommend size and Manufacture?

I bought a 80GB Toshiba for my Pismo. It seems to work well. I believe the largest drive that will be fully recognized is a 120GB drive.
Here's a good place to see your options. Go to this web page at OWC and get a listing of your upgrade options for your Mac model.

You can get the product models and specs, and shop around, but OWC has pretty good prices.

What's the best hard drive I can put in my mac book 6,1?

What's the best hard drive I can put in my mac book 6,1? Is there a solid state hard drive available? I've been through two hard drives in the last 3 years, which i primarily blaim on how much I have to move my computer around at work while the drive is spinning.

Yes there is and SSD for your Mac. I just ordered an SSD for a MacBook 6,1 from OWC. http://www.macsales.com/
Also check Crucial and Kingston.
I ordered the DIY Upgrade Bundle: Mercury Electa 3G SSD.
That MacBook is only capable of 3 GB/s so the 6G SSDs are overkill.
I recently upgraded the memory from 2 GB to 8 GB. It cut the boot time by a factor of three. That is only a $100 upgrade.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

I'm looking for the best Mic in

I'm setting up an office-to-office videoconferencing system. I've got the video down, but I'm looking for the best audio I can get. The sound will be stereo output, but I need really good microphone input. Echo cancelling is a must, but the Windows XP echo cancellation sounds like a bad telephone connection. Does anyone have any ideas? Are any of the mic inputs better on one SoundBlaster than on the others?

What is the best hard drive configuration for disk/media cache?

I just installed a 480 GB PCI SSD for my boot drive. I also have a 240 GB SSD and a 1TB 7200 rpm hd. Can anyone suggest on which drives to place my source files, aep files, media and disk cache and output for the best read/write speed? Thanks for any advice. Same question for Premiere Pro too, if you know!
I'm using a Mac Pro dual proc, 12 core, 40 GB.

Looking for replacement internal hard drives for a MacPro

Looking to replace internal hard drives in a MacPro. Was thinking about 3TB. Any recommendations?

Look in System Report for the link speed available. (Mine says 3 Gigabit.) Get drives with at least that speed; going beyond that won't get you any more performance.

Looking for an external hard drive for my ibook...

I know there are a lot of posts related to external hard drives, but I have very specific needs that haven't been answered as far as I can tell. I run Tiger 10.4.11 on my 1.33 ghz ibook (which WON'T DIE) and need a hard drive that:
1) is Mac-friendly
2) Can be set to do auto backup when I plug in my computer
3) has at least 500GB storage
4) has at least a 3-year warranty
5) can run, power-wise, off my USB hub (though this is the least of my concerns, frankly)
6) can be used with a Macbook when I buy one next year (very important)
I'm not so concerned with speed, as I will mostly be doing backup at night, while I'm asleep. Does such a drive exist for around $100?

1) is Mac-friendly
98% of the drives meet this criteria
2) Can be set to do auto backup when I plug in my computer
I don't know any drives that will do that. Some have buttons that allow you to do backup by pushing the button.
3) has at least 500GB storage
4) has at least a 3-year warranty
A lot of those available.
5) can run, power-wise, off my USB hub (though this is the least of my concerns, frankly)
Look for a "portable" external drive.
6) can be used with a Macbook when I buy one next year (very important)
Any drive that matches the criteria above.
Does such a drive exist for around $100?
Yes many. You can watch Dealmac.com for hard drive deals. It is pretty easy to get 1 TB for $100 these days.

Maximum size for the internal hard drive

I have an Intel based 24" Imac. As soon as my Apple care runs out I want to replace the internal hard drive with something larger. Does anyone have information on the maximum size I can install?? I currently have 320gb, but am looking to increase to 1tb but I don't know if my Mac can handle it.

1TB will definitely work as this was even a build to order option when it was for sale. I'm pretty sure as long as you're not using FAT32 whatever size you put in should be compatible.

Looking for fast internal hard drive

I want to replace the existing hard drive in my iBook G4 with a faster one (7200 rpm). I realize the battery time will suffer. Does anybody have any specific recommendations (as to which brand)?
Thanks.

Most of the newer specifications of modern drives I've seen are
for the SATA type of hard disk drives now common in new Macs.
Since these won't work inside an older model, you still may find
some PATA/ATA/IDE compatible drives from the same manufact-
urers and through vendors of Mac specific or compatible hardware.
{Of major brands, sometimes you can find a similar spec HDD
in their line-up that is almost as good as their new SATA line;
here's a page with some that won't work in your iBook, but they
do have names and the manufacture brand. They may offer ATA:
http://www.barefeats.com/note03.html }
The slower spinning drive, may be fine; get one with a larger buffer
and enough free space so the system and applications have plenty
of room for Virtual Memory demands, and make sure the basic RAM
amount is as much as the machine can support.
Some of the newer replacement PATA drives use less power and
have better technologies than those older models in early Macs.
So, if you can find actual reviews and specifications for side-by-side
comparisons (of non-SATA vs other non-SATA) for your application,
that may give you an idea if the faster-spin rate drive is an advantage
you could live with; or something best left for another year's upgrade
when you eventually may get a newer architecture portable Macintosh.
I'd go for the 5400 slower drive, large capacity, with larger 16+ MB buffers,
instead of a faster 7200 drive, in a portable computer on limited batteries.
But I've read of others who did OK by the faster drive. Not sure if they stuck
with original equipment batteries or were able to actually gain run time with
those newer technology batteries which say they have a longer life. Of the
new batteries, you may need to get their brand of reconditioner/recharger
in order to hope to get their longer specified battery life; & charge two at a
time outside of the computer; making sure to calibrate and run them all often.
Good luck & happy computing!

Looking for the best app that has a timer for self portraits for my Iphone 5

I am looking for recommendations for the best app for my IPhone 5. An app that allows you to take your own picture without having to hold the phone. Something with a timer?

Thanks, I checked it out but it didn't mention anything about having a timer so you could take your own picture without having to hold the phone.
