My color classic needs a replacement hard drive, please help me find one

The dead drive that was removed is a Conner CP30085E 85MB 3.5in SCSI 50 PIN. Also I have OS 7.1 is there a later system that would work. Note the tools floppy disk boots perfectly.
Thanks for any info

"...they had a Quantum apple drive 84 mb SCSI drive for $99. Talked to the owner and he said the older apple drives are really getting scarce."
Scarcity doesn't justify egregious price gouging. An 84 MB SCSI hard drive should not cost that much. Did you try an eBay search for a "50-pin SCSI hard drive?" I just did and found some larger drives for far less than either of the prices you got from 4drives.com. It doesn't have to be an Apple-branded drive, although that helps when some third-party drives aren't supported by Apple's disk formatting utilities. You can also check eBay for an OS 7.6.1 retail version/universal installer disk or OS 7.6 and then download the OS 7.6.1 Update. I'd want at least 16 MBs of installed memory to run OS 7.6.1, but your Color Classic is maxed out with a pair of 4 MB SIMMs plus 2 MBs of the 4 MBs of onboard RAM, for a total of 12 MBs.

Random file on hard drive, please help me find out what it is

Hi all,
I have had this file sitting on my hard drive, when you click and open from hard drive icon there is a file sitting there called mds-crash-state. If i try to delete it it says enter my user password, so ididnt thinking it could be important. Anyone able to shed some light on this and if i can actually delete it without killing my machine?

Go and trash it. The 'mds-crash-state' file may be created if the Metadata Server crashed or was unexpectedly closed during the indexing process. The presence of this file can prevent Spotlight from indexing the volume in the future.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Help Needed To Replace Hard Drive Satellite M45 S351

My hard drive died and can not be reformated. I just ordered a new one that should be arriving in a day or two. All I have is the Recovery DVD that came with the laptop. Can I insert it when I boot up with the new HD and reformat the computer? I do have a full version of windows98 and an upgrade version of XP. Any help for a novice would be apreciated.

After you replace the hard drive, you should be able to boot from the recovery disk and follow the prompts. It will install a binary image of the original drive with all of the correct drivers, utilities, etc. The system will look just as it did when you bought it.

HT1752 I need a replacement hard drive for model a1311 iMac

I removed my old hard drive, which is an original WD 500GB from my mid 2010 iMac, to try to replace with a seagate 1T but I found out that the original hard drive (thermal sensor) has 8 pins and my new one has only 4 pins. What should I do?

Hi, only Apple has those special drives as far as I know, but there are workarounds...

Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor. Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable. When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
Fixes people have used in the past included:
• Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
• Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
HDD Fan Control
HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.  It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating
Instead of HDDFan Control, get the free SSDFan Control

Need help with replacing hard drive please

Can I upgrade to a hard drive that has SATA 3 interface with my Macbook Pro mid 2009 model?

It may well work and be backward compatible as jk said, however your machine was spec'd for one type of drive. For me, even if the older technology for the same capacity was slightly more in cost, I'd want to put that in my machine rather than something that may not be fully compatible. Just my opinion.

I need a replacement hard drive for a 2004 G5 PowerPC iMac.

I picked it up for free at a garage sale, then opened it up and saw that ithad no hard drive. I don't know exactly what to buy, so if anybody could give me links to some on Amazon or Ebay that would be great. I don't really care about the capacity of the hard drive. Thanks!

Generally speaking any 3.5", 7200 RPM 1.5 Gbps SATA hard drive will do. 3 Gbps are too fast for it, and some may not down step without the proper jumper setting.

As the tile states, I have had to replace a crashed hard drive and now iTunes does not see my phone.
All my addresses and calendar info is on my phone. How do I transfer that to my Mac.

According to this thread, you may want to reinstall iTunes completely, which does might make sense because the iTunes that was installed was an older version updated with several patches, then the Leopard upgrade may have yet an older version of iTunes. But - I would try it.

Actually, it will run without the fan assembly in place, which is a bad thing, IMHO.
Semantics, eh?
I should have said "NO, it shouldn't be run without the fans."
(It's all fine, and I appreciate being kept honest.)
I guess it's like not running a machine without a heat sink installed on the processor, some things which we consider not needing to be said must be said.....
The good thing about running without a heat sink is that it is self-correcting, as it were, one way or another. Actually, it would probably be noticed very quickly by the system in that the CPU die temp would rise to the danger point and the machine would crowbar down on its own, so long as the die resisted fracturing.
That being said, I was somewhat surprised that the missing fan didn't trigger any particular response on my machine. (I didn't check the system log when it happened, nor did I look at startup diagnostics on System Profiler (incuriosity on my part, I guess) because I just shut down and shoved the fan assembly back in.) Having spent a goodly amount of my working life in an integration lab dealing with all the things that slipped through the cracks in the floor, I have a reflexive reaction to seeing one of those things pop up, like allowing the machine to go merrily long without a subsystem in place designed to protect the machine.
Reposing much confidence in your advice and assuming that others do as well, at least if they have spent the least little bit of time on these forums, I only added my comment to point out an unexpectedly missing element of protection in the Apple FW/SW world, i.e., the ability to boot without the fan and seem like things are A-OK.
I'm going to go stir the liquid oxygen tank now. What can go wrong with that?

I can't copy files to External Hard Drive : Please help..

Evening,
I've just bought a Macbook and am just getting to grips with it. This is my first question on this forum...the first of many no doubt.
Problem I've got is that I can copy file's from an external hard drive on to the MAC but I can't go back the other way and copy file's from the MAC on to the external hard drive - it says 'New Folder cannot be modified'.
When I go into 'Ownership and Permission' of the external hard drive it says I can read only.
The Hard Drive is a Octigen USB 2.0 drive if that helps..
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help

How confident are you that MacFuse/ntfs-3g is a reliable option for ordinary humans? It is at version 0.2.2, not long out of beta, the FAQ mentions slow write performance and other rough edges (possibly fixed in the current version), and this is a comment by the author as of 1/11/07:
"Small disclaimer: Please note that MacFUSE is a complex piece of software, and it is a work in progress. We believe in releasing early and often, so we're releasing it now so that the community can help us to make it more robust."
I have no need for it whatsoever, but if I did, I would have concerns about using it for a backup drive.

Moving iPhoto library to Ext Hard Drive please help

What are you seeing, when you are opening the iPhoto library in the copied Pictures folder? An empty iPhoto window? Error messages?
Is your external drive formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled)?
Do you have the same versions of iPhoto on your iMac and new MBA? What are the versions?

Had to reformat my hard drive- PLEASE HELP!

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can somehow help me. I tried tech support but they didn't have much to offer in the way of iTunes support. I own a video ipod. I manually loaded each of the albums I had stored in my "my music" folder on my laptop into iTunes and then onto my Ipod.
All transfering and syncing has been done on my laptop. I recently had to reformat the hard drive on my laptop. Prior to doing so, I was able to move my music files to my desktop however I do not have Itunes loaded and running on my desktop. I now have "RE" downloaded the iTunes software to my laptop but I'm scared to sync it because I know it's going to "wipe" out my IPOD.
Can someone accurately advise me on how I might go about getting my music files back into my iTunes library without having to make backup cd's of some 200 albums or manually reloading each album. Is there anyway of doing this without wiping my Ipod clean? There's got to be a fairly easy way to do this.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Shooey

You should be able to move your iTunes music folder from your desktop (where iTunes is not installed) to your laptop where it is. Set up your iTunes on the laptop to specify where you want your iTunes music folder to be (in advanced preferences), quit itunes, then move your files from the desktop. Start up iTunes and it should all work.
This is how I moved my itunes when I replaced my old G4/733 with my newer G5 2.5DP.
Note: don't discard that backup on your desktop until you make sure everything works OK, including syncing your iPod.

HP dv4t not detecting hard drive, please help!

Hello, its been just a little over a year since I've bought my HP dvt, and of course the problems start as soon as my warranty has ended.. It's been working fairly fine most of the year, and then just all of a sudden while not even doing anything of importance on computer last week I got a blue screen error..
Ever since then I have had so much problems. At first it just started out with closing the screen and reopening it crashed the laptop in a couple minutes..
The main problem now is, it just does not detect the hard drive when booting up! Sometimes (rarely) it does though.. I thought it was a windows problem, so I did fresh clean install of Windows 7 and reformatted the hard drive. Then I ran CHKDSK and it did it stuff and said volume clean at the end.. It worked perfectly for a couple of hours, was able to close screen and open with no problems. I downloaded "Hard drive sentinel" to monitor my hdd health, and it said 90% which is apparently excellent. Yet as I was installing adobe reader, it crashed, got the blue screen of death and has not been able to boot up since
Can anyone tell what is the problem with it? Anyone else have similar problem? I've tried to reformat again with CD but it doesnt even recognize any drive to install on..
Important thing to note is that, in the BIOS screen when i run the HARD DISK TEST, it does recognize it! So i dont understand why it doesn't load the operating system or cant see the hard drive anywhere else!!
What is at fault even? Is the motherboard dead? Althought the bios screen loads fine so does that mean its OK? Is it the hard drive? CHKDSK and the hdd health monitor thing said it was ok right before the crashes..
Please help, I have my first computer science lab in like 2 days with my laptop breaking just a couple days before it with barely any money left to buy a new laptop

Time to replace your Hard Drive. BACK UP NOW!!!
This will be the 3rd HD in a new HP HDX 18 for me (6 months old).
Open up the HD bay and take a look at the model of the HD.
If it is a SEAGATE MOMENTUS 7200.4 they are known to fail in as little as 1 month from install, and do not last more than 6 months.
Google the brand and you will see that most people are reccomending that you remove the SEAGATE product ASAP (data recovery is next to impossible) and replace it with something else.
I had just finished setting up the PC as I wanted it, OS, programs / Bios, software upgrades, then without warning the 2nd HD went.
I lost EVERYTHING in my C drive, was just preparing to do a full BU and Mirror Image after deleting both from my D and External Drive.
HP is replacing one piece of crap with another, I will be shopping for a different brand for the C drive after the laptop comes back from repair.
There seems to be no end to this BS with SEAGATE drives.
DO A FULL BU NOW!!!
