My Hard Drive Won't Slow Down! please help

Hi everyone,
I just got my B&W powermac up and running again after some upgrades: a radeon 7000, 500 Mhz Sonnet G4, 1gig of RAM... Well all of a sudden my hard drive just spun all the way up and will not slow down no matter what. I went to system preferences and checked "put discs to sleep when possible" - Nothing. I ran Onyx and cleared all my caches and what not - Nothing. I have restarted, reset my PRAM, pressed the CUDA button... I'm out of ideas. And my hard drive is raging like it is booting up or something so I don't know what to think. Please help me slow my hard drive down. It is a WD Caviar 40G, and I am running OS 10.3.9 and it is totally up to date. Thanks so much for any suggestions!

I don't think it's a ribbon issue. I checked it out. As for the jumpers, I'm not really sure exactly what to look for. I have only messed with jumpers one time and I was following a chart to set up a slave drive on a Dell and it was a long time ago... On My B&W, what exactly would I looking for if it was a jumper problem?
Thanks again, in advance!

External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
thanks

Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

How do i not have my photoshop linked to my macintosh hard drive because it slows down the program by using my hard drive space

how do i not have my photoshop linked to my macintosh hard drive because it slows down the program by using my hard drive space

Which version of mac os x and photoshop are you using?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
How much ram do you have?
Photoshop needs to use your hard drive for scratch space.
If you have more than one hard drive (not partition), you can assign photoshop's scratch disk to another hard drive.

In Yosemite: External Hard Drives Won't Spin Down

Since installing Yosemite, my external (and perhaps internal) drives won't spin down in energy saver mode: 'Put hard drives to sleep when possible.' I'm using Seagate Barracuda 2TB internal drives in external Voyager Q drive bays. They seem to be getting a little too warm, I can also feel them spinning.
Thanks!
Steve

Thanks for those diagnostics & remedies. Those are good to know. Performed all of them but the problem persisted. I tried swapping out different drives and discovered that it was one particular Seagate drive that wasn't spinning down. So that was the culprit. Going to check out the Seagate discussions here or on Seagate and see what can be done, probably nothing.
Thanks much!
Steve

Major External Hard Drive Issues... Please Help!

Hey Everyone,
I own an Iomega Silver High Speed USB 2.0 Hard Drive 250 GB... I used to use it to store files for my old XP machine... and would now like to use it for my Macbook running 10.5.2 since my PC died.
The problem I have:
The drive does not mount on the desktop and when I go into Disk Utilities, it shows the drive as having 744.9 GB of space rather than 232.9 GB as it actually has.
Furthermore, I cannot "Erase" or "Partition" the drive because I get the error "Resource Busy". However, when I plug the drive into a Macbook running Tiger and try to partition the drive, the blue progress bar at the bottom jumps to 1/4 done and then does not move at all.
I have plugged the drive into a Windows XP machine and it cannot partition the drive properly either..
Please help! You guys are my last hope since I called Iomega... who say it is clearly NOT a hardware issue and referred e to Apple Tech support who did not resolve the issue and had me on hold for 40 minutes...
I beseech you, please help fix my hard drive... I don't need the data on it, I just need a hard drive that works as soon as possible...

Hi! "However, when I plug the drive into a Macbook running Tiger and try to partition the drive, the blue progress bar at the bottom jumps to 1/4 done and then does not move at all." If the disk is damaged (which is is) then the format would likely take 12-24 hours to complete so if you interrupted it it could have damaged the disk. I have a new disk that I never could get partitioned and is damaged beyond repair. Ok try this restart the computer with the disk off. Then turn the disk on and see if it brings up the message that the disk is unreadable and takes you to the disk utility. Also sometimes changing usb ports or trying to format it on another computer works. Tom

My external hard drives seem to slow down my iMac

Hello,
I've encountered an odd situation in that the external hard drives I use to hold all of my files seem to slow down the performance of my iMac. I have two Lacie 1 tb externals plugged into my 2006 2.0 Ghz iMac with 2 gig of ram. I've had these two externals for about two months and for the same amount of time, any other item (ipod, card reader, thumb drive) I'd plug in would take several min to mount onto my computer. From there, the data transfer from my external or internal hard drive is slightly delayed and slower as well.
I unmounted these externals today and plugged in a thumb drive to test and it immediately mounted to my computer! I never thought an external could effect the mounting of other, smaller, externals!
I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this problem? My itunes music files are stored on my externals and I'm a photographer, so I'd need regular access to my externals to get to my pictures.
Thanks for all your help. I can usually find the answer to my problem by browsing around in discussions, but I find this situation to be a bit of a unique one!

Sorry, It's connected to my iMac via Firewire 400. I have the externals connected to each other via Firewire 800.
In regards to types of files, I have my itunes library, photo (Raw Canon 50d files), Adobe (photoshop, indesign, illustrator) and Word files all on the external. I basically moved everything off my internal and store it all on my external now, so I'm accessing it a lot through the day.
I'm wondering just why you did that. Surely you know that F/W 400 is much slower than your internal HD?
I'd be inclined to move things that involve heavy I/O during editing (photos and videos, especially) back to the internal. I suspect you'll see a large improvement.

External Hard Drive won't shut down

New MacBook Pro 15" and Tiger my Lacie external hard drive does not turn off when the computer is shut down.
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You need to provide more information about the drive. Is it bus powered or AC powered? If it's bus powered, you should probably contact LaCie support and ask them. If it's AC powered, then naturally you'd need to shut it off separtely.

I am trying to troubleshoot an iMac that is exceedingly slow. The primary culprit is that the hard drive thrashes almost continuously. It doesn't matter if the computer has just been turned on and there are no applications running or if there are a dozen applications running, the hard drive will be doing something. The Activity Monitor shows see a lot of disk activity, both disk reads and disk writes.
I repaired permissions using Disk Utility, which didn't help.
I also ran a full disk scan using Tech Tools Pro but it found nothing.
I downloaded a demo iDefrag and had it analyze my disk. It looked like the disk was heavily fragmented. I am considering purchasing it and running a defrag, but everything I read says that there is no need to defrag a Macintosh hard drive so I'm holding back.
Any advice on what next steps I should take to troubleshoot my Mac?
Thank you,

Run the ActivityMonitor and see what is happening.
As noted here, you may be running out of available RAM, the usual cause of "thrashing" or there may be some other app running wild.

Restoring iPhoto contents from an external hard drive results in duplicates! Please help!

Hi Folks,
I have an iMac 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo computer that had it's DVD fried and I gave it to Apple to fix it. They did and they also upgraded me to the Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4. I am not sure if I am a fan of this OS but that's a different story. I had backed up everything to an external hardrive (not using time Machine). The external drive is a Hitachi and came with it's own back-up software for the Mac. I was able to restore everything except iPhoto properly. By the time I specified the directory that contained my library information, I ended up getting duplicates events/pictures of EVERYTHING to the point where it has eaten up more than 100GB of my 350GB hard-drive
Now I have been looking through all of the duplicate events that iPhoto created, I see that most of them are thumbnails. I also downloaded photosweeper Lite to find duplicate pictures and that didn't help. I am a Unix hack and could write some sort of script to compare the fine names etc but I know that's not a practice that's encouraged and I really don't have the time to putz with it.
So can you please let me know how can I re-restore iPhoto properly please given what was in the back-up hardware? Here is what the directory structure looks like in the external drive:

The content of the above directory is:

Sorry to hear of your difficulties.
Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the back up to the Pictures Folder on the MBP and launch iPhoto. It will do the rest.
Alternatively, you can leave the library where it is and hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the Library on the Back Up disk.

Successfully imported pictures from camera, backed up on external hard drive but now there is no sign of the pictures on hard drive or Iphoto...PLEASE HELP???

I successfully imported 2 photo shoots from my camera.
Once imported, as always, I saved the photos onto my external hard drive.
Normally I would also keep the images on my camera until I have finished the job and handed the finished product to the customer although on this occasion I had to delete them due to an extensive shoot and the need for space.
Last night I was hoping to start editing the shots so opened up my hard drive to find the 2 folders there but both were empty! I then opened up Iphoto and I can't locate them anywhere. My library only seems to date back to July. Could this mean my Iphoto is full so has not saved the images and they are now lost forever???
I've checked all my trash cans etc to ensure they haven't been accidentally deleted and they haven't.
Please help?!?!?!
Many thanks in advance
Damsel in utter distress! x

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Upgrading 12" Powerbook G4 hard drive & OS X 10.5--please help?

So, I’ve decided I want to venture into upgrading my Powerbook G4 hard drive, RAM, and OS. Currently I have:
512 RAM
1.5 Ghz
80 GB 5400 HD
Mac OS X 10.4.11
What I would like to upgrade to:
1.25GB RAM (max)
1.5 Ghz
160-320GB 5400 (7200 if possible) HD
Mac OS X 10.5
Now here comes my questions. The RAM upgrade is straightforward. The HD upgrade seems simple enough when using tutorials on ifixit.com. I am wondering though, does the HD need to be ATA-100 or could it be ATA-133? Are DMA, Ultra DMA, UDMA, DMA-100, ATA, ATA-100, IDE, and EIDE all the same thing and all compatible with the 12" powerbook G4?
Assuming the hard drive speed is 5400 and I have RAM maxed out, are there performance differences between say a 160GB 5400 HD and a 320GB 5400 HD? Would it be better just to get the biggest HD that is compatible with my PB?
Also, FRYS.COM has "retail hard drive kits" and "bare HDs" What’s the difference between the two?
Finally:
Once I figure out which HD I want, I will have new: Hard Drive, RAM, and a Mac OS X 10.5 DVD Purchased from an Apple Store. I will install the RAM. Now I will be left with a HD and OSX 10.5 DVD...how do I get the new OS on the new HD?

The hard drive needs to be a parallel ATA 2.5" notebook hard drive. ATA-100 or ATA-133 or the others you listed don't matter. You cannot use a serial ATA or SATA hard drive, that's important. Here are two online stores and their parallel ATA drives available: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150380%201035907 889&name=ATA-6 and http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on 2.5" ATA laptop drives).
You'll note there aren't any 7200rpm drives listed, as they aren't made anymore for the parallel ATA interface. Choose whatever size works for you, and if increasing the size, make sure you have capacity to backup the new, larger hard drive, as you fill it up.
You only need the bare hard drive. There can be a difference between a retail boxed version versus OEM, as the warranty can be different, but that's about it.
After you install the hard drive, you insert the first OS X disk in the system, boot holding the C key down (so the system boots from the disk), choose Disk Utility from the menu bar, and partition the drive. Once done, you can do the OS X installation. If you don't hold the C key down and the system wants to install OS X, after you tell it what language you want, as soon as a menu bar appears, then you can run Disk Utility.

External hard drive from pc to mac please help

My HP motherboard fried but the hard drive was fine. I extracted it, and put it an external enclosure and made it external. I plugged it in and it shows up on disk utility, but now I don't know what to do. I want to be able to transfer my old files to my new Mac. It says disk1s1 (the part with all of the files) isn't mounted. Should I mount it? will this erase my old data? Thanks

Hello jnorris5
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If the drive shows up in disk utility then it should show up in Finder (desktop). If it does show in Finder then all you have to do is drag and drop the files that you want to the Mac.
As the other poster stated you may be running NTFS file system on the ext drive, this is not a problem if you're only reading or copying the files. If you plan on writing to the drive with your Mac then you'll need to either format the drive (once you get the data off) to OSX Extended (Journaled) or FAT. You can alternately use a third party program such as paragon or macdrive, suggested by the other poster.
But if all you want to do is get the data from the drive to the Mac then just plug it in drag and drop the files.

No internal hard drives seem to work! Please help!

Hello,
I'm really hoping someone can help with this as I am losing my mind! I wanted to upgrade the internal hard drive of my 2009 Macbook Pro from the stock 250GB to a 500GB. The first try was with a Western Digital Scorpio Black (7200 RPM), the second try was with a Hitachi 5400 RPM, and the last try was with a Hitachi 7200 RPM. None of these have worked. I first noticed the problems when trying to perform a backup. Both Time Machine and SuperDuper would fail. When I tried the first drive, the OS loaded fine. But after install, the system lagged really bad. Opening applications would take much longer than they had before and even opening new windows, writing files and such seemed to cause the system to choke. Removing the hard drive and running from an external enclosure produced the same results. The drive checked out in Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. So at this point, I assumed there was something wrong with the drive. Fast forward to the second drive...At first, everything seemed fine except that I was not able to complete a backup via Time Machine or SuperDuper. However, now I was having a rough time even getting the OS installed with the drive in the computer or plugged in via an enclosure. I tried using the restore disks, a retail copy of 10.6, and a disk image of 10.6 as well. On the off chance that the OS did install completely, the system would revert back to its laggy behavior. I just thought I had EXTREMELY bad luck and purchased another drive. Same results across the board.
During attempts at backups, the system would lock up and I would have to to a hard shutdown. After that, Disk Warrior would usually find a boatload of errors to fix. But it would successfully repair.
I should also mention that I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB as well. In fact, I suspected a RAM issue, so I even bought an extra set of a different brand! The first set was from RamJet and the next was Patriot RAM. In addition, I tried using single RAM sticks; one in each bay at different times.
The laptop is at the Apple Store now. But the "genius" thinks it's a bad hard drive! I tried explaining to him that this was the THIRD hard drive to go in and that the one that was in worked perfectly when using it to boot up an iMac. I did ask him to replace the SATA cable as well thinking that maybe something might be wrong with that. But at the same time, the computer had its issues while the hard drive was in an external enclosure as well. Could it be that these newer Macbook Pro's are just really picky about what drives go in? Or am I looking at some other strange problem? Everything was working just fine before the attempted upgrade.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming that you've already tried the brightness controls, you can try an SMC and PRAM resets.

IPhoto 6 and iTunes 7 on a hard drive that is failing! Please help

On my iBook G4 I have a hard drive that no longer mounts after an unsuccessful attempt to update to Leopard. What I need to know is if I am able to extract any data from the drive, what files do I need to save my iPhotos an iTunes data. Everything else on the drive is replaceable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

For iPhoto you want the iPhoto Library which by default is in the pictures folder - you want to drag it as a single entity to a new drive (do not move it in pieces)
Best post in the iTunes forum for iTunes advice
May I also take this opportunity to suggest that you must start regular backups - this will happen again

My external hard drive won't restore? Any help?

Hi I have a Iomega Ego external Hard Drive 500gb. I've been on Disk Utility and followed the verify disk and it told me to go to the repair disk. Once I did this I was told to restore the disk. I've gotten this far and placed the correct source and desination but I keep getting this message - Unable to scan "My Drive" (resoucre busy)
Any suggestions are welcome
Thanks
Alec

Bummer! But when I looked this drive up, it seems like it's a current model, so I'm assuming it's fairly new?
Unfortunately, I'm not really an expert on external drives, but I'm thinking that if the drive is relatively new, and still spins up, then it should eventually be possible to access it again. Maybe if you could clarify the circumstances of the crash a bit, it will be possible to get this sorted out. I'm not entirely clear on just what happened.
First, could you describe the crash--what exactly did the drive do? Was a cable bumped or anything like that? Or did something happen just out of the blue? And does the drive still spin up?
I am assuming that you checked the obvious things like making sure the USB port was working and the cable itself was OK. I gather that Disk Utility can see the drive, but all the options are grayed out so it can't do anything? Is your PC a different computer, not just Windows on your MBP? I gather that the PC can also see the WD drive, but can't mount it? I know nothing of PC's so I don't know any PC troubleshooting.
One thing that might be worth trying is calling Western Digital and talking to their tech support people. I believe that WD has a 3 year warranty on their drives, and I expect they would be most familiar with the drive and what the problem with it might be. For example, it might be that some component in the enclosure went south and is keeping the drive from mounting. It could be that the failure of some component in the enclosure is what caused the original crash. It might even be worth trying the drive in a different enclosure.
Good luck!
