My Mac G5 crashed 2 years ago, and I am trying for format a 3 TB internal harddrive.

Hi There,
I am trying to format a 3 TB internal harddrive, so that I can reinstal Final Cut Pro 4 on to this new drive, in order to continue editting video. My last hard drive crashed and I was unable to pull anything off of it, so I am starting from scratch. I did have two hard drives, one died and the other one is where all my applications were stored. The 2nd drive is still good, but I running out of space for my video files, hence the reason for this newest drive.
I am working off of a Mac Pro G5 and I believe I was running the OS X 10.4 software. I have the start up disk to install it on my new drive. However, when I try to format the drive, my computer stops working and my mouse pointer begins to spin a rainbow ball and then I end up having to quit disk utility. I am half afraid, I will eventually make the new drive non-operational. So I need a little help.
My questions are these as follows:
When I try to format the 3 TB hard drive, should I consider partitioning it?   What is the up scale to partitioning a hard drive? What is the downfall of that option?
Also, I am able to verify the disk, however the disk shows up as untitled and it only shows up as 746.4 GB, where as I thought it should show up as 2.7 TB. Am I doing something wrong?
I would greatly appreciate some help in this.
Thanks.

So I was able to format the 3TB hard drive, but it only formated it as 736GB
Oh, only 10.4.11 & up can see the new Adavanced Format Drives properlly, they now have 4096 Byte Sectors instead of the old 512 Byte sectors, so that explains the shortage there.
The Highest you can go is 10.5.8
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

  • Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since. Did they sell me a faulty netbook?

    Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since.
    Did they sell me a faulty one?

    They say it happens with laptops
    Well... yes... it can happen with all computers, but that's certainly not a resolution.  Are you working directly with Apple or a different service provider?  If something (Word) has not been working since day one... even after repairs, then they haven't fixed it (provided you told them about the problem).  
    Basically, as others have said... if you've been getting the service you've described directly from Apple, I would give them a call and express your concern.  You're in good shape while your warranty is still effective.  Get them to fix it to your satisfaction.  If something isn't working as it should, don't be afraid to say something.

    Please have a device you've lost a year ago and is now asking for Aastgl and restore the iPhone5 firs

    What is 'Aastgl' ?
    If you mean activation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    then you will need to type in the account id and password that it's locked to, or remove it from your account (e.g. via http://icloud.com), or ask the person whose account it is to remove it from their account.
    If you mean your answers to your security questions, then the HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • I'm so annoyed because I do not remember my security questions. I made my Apple ID 5 years ago and it is impossible for me to remember these questions. I've tried to reset them but I don't remember the password to my original email adress to reset them.

    I'm very annoyed with this. I have tried countless times to recover my security question answers, but they were made years ago. I do not understand want to do because when I do go to reset them, I can't remember my email address I used to set up my whole Apple ID. I just want to buy music and apps. Please help me?

    Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail
         1. If you have a valid rescue email address, then use this procedure:
             Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
         2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
             have a Rescue Email to use this option.
         3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
             These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.

  • HT1338 my mac pro has 4 years already and the battery lasts for 10 minutes top. why should i do? get a new battery or what?

    please help me what should i do

    Assuming you mean a Macbook Pro laptop and not the Mac Pro tower, then batteries wear out.  4 years is a long time for a battery to be in constant use.  In general I've ended up replacing my laptop batteries about once ever 2 years, and at that time I'm often down to 30 to 45 minutes of battery life.
    So if you are not ready to get a new Mac, by all means get a new battery.

  • What happens if you set up you mac email 17 years ago and forgot the answers to your security questions?

    I started my mac email account 17 years ago and I can't remember my security question answers so I can change my password. What can I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

I'm confused and shocked with this inf. Note: My macbook pro was purchased at B&H. Also, the reason I was trying to get assistance is I'm not able to send attached files via email from my macbook.

  • Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

    Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

    Just download, install, and activate using your serial number.  You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines.  If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
    Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
    If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.

  • I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    Thank you For your time and thoughts!
    I went by the Apple Store and they told me that there was a "Flat Rate" repair service for this particular part where they would replace the logic board along with the USB ports for $350. Seems like best avenue. All of this would have been moot but my wifi in the computer also doesn't work so I was using my phone as a hot spot and tethering it to the computer for Internet access when the last port quit. This left me with no internet and no printing capabilities on the computer I use for my business. Basically became a nice paperweight. lol
    They will ship it off Monday and I should have it back Thursday!
    Again, thank you!
