Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 Compatible with My G5 1.87 Tower (2003)?

Okay so here is the deal. Have a drive in my g5 towe since the original seagate 160 gb I have been told has read and write problems urrgggghhhh not sure of warranty since I bought this mac second hand. So they gave me another drive the one listed above but the cables currently in the 2nd drive are not compatible not sure if I can do something or not. The drive in question is a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 ATA/ 133 HD I have a Mac G5 1.87 900 running 10.4 any help would be great!!!!

Just go out and buy a new SATA drive or two from OWC

The DM9 is older than your G5, and the DM10 was the first Maxtor that turned heads and was a winner (as was DMIII). But drives have come a long way.
If you only have one, it is overdue for some backups, reformat and replaced - keep it for emergency boot drive.

Seagate plus compatible with mac book pro

Is seagate plus compatible with mac book pro and how do I know its backing up, where can I see the backed up files?

Hello and welcome.
Click on the desktop - next to the Apple click on "Finder - in the drop down menu click on "Preferences" - under "Show these items on the desktop" click on Hard disks and External disks. All disks inside the computer and connected outside will appear on your desktop. The external hard drive will be orange in color.
When you first connected that Seagate it should of asked you if you wanted to use that drive for Time Machine to backup to.

Maxtor DiamondMax HD Compatibility with Mac?

Hello Forum,
I'm about to install a new Internal Hard Drive in Bay 2 of my G5 Dual.
Calling all you tekheads out there being A1 Macintosh savvy! Can someone confirm that the Maxtor DiamondMax +22 7200RPM SATA II/300 500GB 32MB Cache - OEM Internal Hard Disc will be fully compatible with my 1.8 Ghz G5 Dual Power Mac before I begin the installation?
Any tips for a smooth install, formatting, partitioning etc?
Just for peace of mind.
Cheers,
Technoapple.

I am currently running 2 of those drives in my G5 dual 2.0. I have that setup for about 2.5 years now, and am getting ready to retire these drives for a pair of 1TB WD black caviars.
I set mine up as RAID 0. I installed both drives, then booted from the original install disk (note this was 10.2), ran disk utility from the install disk prior to install to setup the RAID, then ran the install. It takes a little while, but is pretty straight forward.
Remember when running the disk utility from the install disk, as soon as you see the menu bar at the top of your screen, you select disk utility from that. It is not an option in the install screen which will be center of your monitor.
If you do not need the RAID setup, of course you just need to install the drive, boot your system normally, and run disk utility to make sure all is setup, but OS X should see your drive and be ready to rumble without any problems.

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo-F problem with Maxtor DiamondMax plus 9 slave.

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=95536.0

it has a 150gb FAT32 partition and a 100gb NTFS one.
Old mobo was a FIC AN11, but that is probably erroneous now.
As for the motherboard not recognizing it, the ide cable was loose. after fixing that, it is detected fine in bios.
And computer management now shows "Online" for the drive after I initialized it, but still shows unallocated under it. It is not unallocated.
Anything I can do to ensure I don't lose information?

Is Advanced Port Replicator III plus compatible with Portege R200

I just ordered a new Portege R200 and the above port-replicator... however, I note that the R200 isn't listed in the supported notebooks list for that replicator! Can anyone confirm if I have made a mistake and need to change the order?
Will

I have visited the Options & Accessories area on the Toshiba European site and as you already said the Portg R200 is not listed in the list of compatible notebooks.
So I presume the Advanced Port Replicator III plus (PA3474E-1PRP) does not support the Protg R series.

Maxtor Diamondmax 20 & iMac G3 600MHz

Hi,
I just got an iMac G3 600MHz (Mac OS 9.2.2) on eBay. However, the HDD produces a really high pitch noise that makes working on this beauty a real torture. I cloned the original screaming HDD onto a new Maxtor Diamondmax 20 (120GB, 7200rpm) using my Macbook Pro with Carbon Clone Copy, and swap it into the iMac. However when I start it up, I have an icon with a floppy and a question mark.
I played with the jumper settings, but had no success, either as a Master, Slave or Cable Select.
Wondering if the Diamondmax is compatible with this iMac, as the original HDD has a Maxtor as well but has a different jumper pin set.
Anybody with any suggestions? Thanks.

If you boot the iMac from the install CD, does the hard drive show up in System Profiler? It sounds like reformatting the disk with a MBP may have put a partition table on the disk that the iMac is unfamiliar with.. try reformatting it on the iMac, plugging it back into the MBP, and cloning it that way.

Maxtor 6Y160MOSTD 160GB DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA/150 -- on -- MSI K8N Neo4 Plat...

Hello there... I have a Maxtor 6Y160MOSTD 160GB DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA/150 on my MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. I've had this problem before but it wasn't important enough to report until now.
I have the latest BIOS (1.B)
Now... I did have a dual boot - XP and Fedora Core... then I decided since Linux would only install the base text system, to get rid of it. I formatted using Windows disk manager. BUT the GRUB MBR was still on there. It resulted in an error. So I took my winXP disk and popped it in. I tried to first repair the MBR. I used the command BOOTCFG DEFAULT. that didn't work. So without thinking I decided to reinstall XP all together. When It got to the restart, the GRUB was still there, therefore didn't boot. Well what I ended up doing is trying the repair again. Used the command FIXBOOT - didin't work. I tried agian. Repair - found the command FIXMBR DUH! So I ran that and it recognized that the original MBR had been replaced. So I fixed the MBR and rebooted. XP wanted to install. So I let it. I came back some time later and found out it was stuck on "Initializing Devices...". At first I thought it was the graphics card. b/c linux had problems before probing the graphics card. I decided out of the blue to swap my 160GB HDD for a smaller PATA 2.1GB HDD and installed XP seemlessly. The obvious reason: XP couldn't detect the hard drive. The reason this is confusing is because I installed XP before on my HDD and no problems. I tried figeting with the chords, switching SATA slots. No luck. I really wanna know whats up with that. Help PLEASE.
Did I leave some info out?

Have you tried to download the Firmware for your HDD? Maybe you can refer to this site ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=profile;u=77029

NForce4 (Neo4) & Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA II NCQ compatible?

I've stumbled across a few forum threads here where people identified having trouble with the Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 300GB 16MB cache SATA II NCQ drives (6B300S0) with MSI nForce motherboards. Seemed that it may have been that the mobos weren't compatible with SATA II or NCQ. But the threads all went cold without resolution, or further complaints.
Was this issue fixed with a BIOS upgrade? Does it affect all nForce motherboards, or just the Neo2? Has anyone tried a SATA II drive with NCQ, or more specifically a Maxtor 6B300S0 or 6B250S0, with any of the MSI Neo4 motherboards?
As my sig shows, I'm considering using a SINGLE drive, not a RAID configuration. My K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI should be here in a few days.
Thanks

Well, since I was so critical of MSI tech support, I feel that it's only right that I give credit where credit is due.
I received my MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI today from ZipZoomFly.com. The motherboard was missing the D Bracket 2 & the external dual-port Firewire PCI bracket. I called ZipZoomFly over 3 hours ago to report this, & was told I'd hear back within an hour concerning how they'd handle this. Still no word from them.
I called MSI tech support & they confirmed that I should have received both the D Bracket 2 & the external dual-port Firewire PCI bracket. The MSI tech took my name & address & said that he'd FedEx them to me. Wow, that's great!
I also asked the MSI tech about support of the new AMD Athlon 64 Venice E3 core processors. He said that MSI Taiwan is currently testing the Venice core processors to evaluate their compatibility with MSI motherboards, & will issue BIOS updates as necessary. He told me to watch the MSI BIOS update web page.
I read a review at xbitlabs.com that stated that the Venice core processor (3800+ model was tested) worked with the K8N Neo2 Platinum & K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI, with only a few issues that should be fixed with BIOS updates. PC Perspective reviewed the 3200+ Venice core processor & reached 2.8 GHz on the standard 1.4v, with standard AMD air cooling! That's impressive! I want one!!!
So today's call to MSI US tech support was all positive.

Is Windows Server 2012 compatible with HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printers

Hello,
I am wondering whether HP officejet pro 8600 plus printers compatible with Windows server 2012 - I have the driver installed on the server and deployed - installation of the driver and all was successful but it won't print from the server or on a user's computer from the deployed printers list. No error message comes up, I just click print and nothing happens. If I install it individually on the user computers - it seems to print as a 'network printer' but won't print from the server, and if it can not print from the server then it can not print from the deployed printers list. I was looking up on driver compatibility list online earlier and could not find Windows Server 2012 mentioned on the list - only server 2008 and below.
Essentially what I am trying to find out is whether this officejet pro 8600 plus printer is compatible with our server.
Many thanks,
Michael Peters

845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

Hi!
My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
Please, help me as quick as possible.
Best regards
Martin "Kenickie"

System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
But it doesn't matter.
Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

Is CS3 Design Standard compatible with Windows 7 64-bits and MS Office 2010 Pro Plus?

Hi,
I have been googling around to see if Adobe CS3 Design Standard is compatible with Windows 7 64-bits with MS Office 2010 Pro Plus, but I couldn't find a decent answer.
If anyone here has any idea on this, please let me know.
As far as i know Adobe CS3 comes with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro which is not compatible with MS Office 2010, so I am sort of worried that I will need to upgrade my CS3 to CS6.
Any advises are welcome.
Thanks.

I don't know if Acrobat 8 is Win 7 64 bit compatible or if it's supported. The rest of the apps should be fine.
But I do think you'll have issues with Office 2010 files being placed into InDesign.
Moving to CS6 is something you should be thinking about very soon. You only get upgrade pricing until the end of the year, but I highly recommend taking a look at Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month for the first year it's a bargain.

Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.
