Need an external HD compatible with OS 9

Can anyone recommend a good External HD compatible with OS 9 (160GB - 500GB). Thanks for your help

Hi, coolins -
Yes, they are easy to use. An external hard drive can be used just like a large floppy - you can drag and drop files to it, or save files directly to it via simple navigation in the Save or Save As dialog window. You can copy a multitude of files at once - select a group of files, folders, or mixed files and folders on your internal hard drive and drag the group to the external drive; Finder will copy (not move) the group to the drive.
As far as setup goes, although the drive may come preformatted for a Mac (or not; most won't), it should be reformatted before you use it. Unfortunately, OS 9's Drive Setup utility (which can be used to do that for internal drives) is not capable of formatting an external drive. Some drive manufacturers will furnish a formatting utility with their drive; for those that don't, you will need to use a 3rd-party utility. The one that I use is the VST formatting Utility. Another option is to use a machine running OSX to do the formatting - OSX's Disk Utility is capable of formatting a firewire (or USB) drive. In any case, be sure to select Mac OS Extended (also called HFS+) as the format for the drive.
Once the drive has been formatted it will appear on your desktop as an icon, on the right-hand side where all drive icons (those for hard drives, floppies, aip drives, CDs, etc.) appear. You can open it by double-clicking it; change its icon; and even rename it (provided File Sharing has not been enabled for that drive).

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac.

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

Hi, How do I communicate CANopen device with anyother CAN device? What things needs to be made compatible with 2 CAN devices to communicate?

Hi,
I have to communicate CANopen device with other CAN device which uses GMLAN.
So in general, How do I communicate CANopen device with anyother CAN device?
What things needs to be made compatible with 2 CAN devices (i.e, one is CANopen and anyother CAN device) to communicate?
Please reply.
Thanks,
Najmu

Hello,
The two devices need to be connected with a CAN cable and while carrying out the communication, one device should be the master and the other should be the slave. Also you should maintain the same protocol (Baud rate, Arbitration ID etc.) at the two devices.

External webcam compatible with Presario CQ56 z-2100

Need to find external webcam for Presario CQ56z-2100 that is compatible with its AMD V140 processor, 2.3 Ghz. Looking at Logitech but requirements are for 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. Will it work for my Presario?

Just need something reliable for calls. I also realized the upload speed requirements of 1Mbps are way more than our internet service provides (250 Kbps). Looking for whatever works reliably with Skype considering the low-speed upload.

Muvo Slim external charger compatible with Zen Nee

Hello.
I'm new here. I have a Muvo Slim and I bought the optional USB charger for the player so that I could charge the player without using my computer. I just need to plug the player using the charger to the power supply while the player is charging.
Now the problem is, I just got myself a Zen Neeon last month and I'm wondering whether the Muvo Slim's external charger is compatible with my Neeon? I noticed that both players are using the same USB port and I even charge them through my computer using the same cable. It would be very good if I could use the Muvo Slim's charger for my Neeon because it will save a few hours of electricity leaving the computer turned on everyday. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
Cheers.
-Rizal-

I've heard the Slim charger works with the Micro, and the Micro charger works with the Neeon. So by deduction it should work. If you want an official answer though you'll have to ask Creative Support.

Is isight external camera compatible with mac mini?

I just bought an old isight camera from ebay. I used a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect to my late 2012 mac mini. I test to cam using facetime but the screen said no camera connected. So I connect the isight with my old macbook to test the camera, and the connection is fine.
I wonder if the old isight cam is still compatible with mac mini. If so, that might be the problem of the fire 800 to 400 cable.

Other users, including myself, could not get the barrel iSight camera to work on the 2012 Min with Mavericks. It did work on my late 2009 Mini except the mic did not work. It does work on my late 2013 Mac Pro desktop except again, that the mic does not work.

Any external HDDs compatible with Tablet 2?

Hello everyone,
Lenovo Solution Center is reporting that the 64 GB of storage in my tablet 2 is running out, and I would like to connect an external hard drive to it and move some programs and files to the hard drive to free up space in my tablet.
Someone else had a similar problem and was suggested that they use a micro SD card, but I don't have any that has enough space to fit my apps. And I'm not sure if some intense desktop programs such as Microsoft Office will be able to run off a removable micro SD card.
Any compatible devices you might be aware about - perhaps the new Thinkpad Stack system announced at CES?
Thanks,
Student Thinker

Why not just plug an $8 16 GB thumbdrive into your dock? I have a hard drive hooked to my dock but I still use thumbdrives for many things, for instance I can get it to boot to my Macrium restore thumbdrive from the dock and reload a backup image. It's also faster to write large files to a thumbdrive and transfer them to another computer than it is to do it over WiFi. I also have a 32Gb micro SD drive and pointed the Windows Libraries ( Documents, Music, Photos, and Video) to that drive just like I do on my machines that have a SS hardrive .... Point your TEMP folders to that also and that will free up some space and make the onboard storage more responsive since it doesn't have to constantly erase a block (Or wait for the OS to send a TRIM command) before it writes new information to that block. Fortunately Windows does do a real good job using SD cards like a hard drive unlike Android devices that usually bork the SD card when you need it most and the only solution is a full reformatting. That's why the Google Nexus 7's and the Nexus 10 don't even have a built in SD card slot
You have to understand how solid state storage works and it';s different from a hard drive which can overwrite information while with solid state storage it has to erase a used block before it can write to it again and erasing a block is one of the slowest operations a soilid state drive does. Because of the need to erase a used block before a write you will start to get a noticable slowdown at 75-80% full and by 90% it will be unresponsive and often unusable and crash the system especially if you are doing something that writes a lot of files back and forth to storage. That's why these devices generally suck for large file size photo video or sound editing

Do I need an external raw editor with Aperture?

Sorry for the simple question - I'm an unsophisticated photographer just dipping toes in RAW stuff
Does Aperture have the same functionality as the external RAW editors like Sony Image Data Converter and the various Canon tools etc?
What I am asking is - do I need to install these and use them as external editors or can I achieve mostly the same thing in Aperture on the raw/arw images?
I don't agonise over the detail but I would like to tinker and experiment, but having an extra tool is a bit annoying.
Cheers, Z

Aperture is a generic third party raw converter, like Lightroom, Aftershot, DxO, Capture 1, and several others.
Canon DPP, Sony IDC, etc are specific converters for their own brand of cameras only. As such they offers features that make use of manufacturer knowledge about the raw, the sensors, the lenses, the camera settings and so forth.
The third party solutions like Aperture compete pretty well in terms of the basic raw conversion, but only have limited access to some of the camera specifics, so can't fully compete when it comes to some of the cameras advanced processing options (for example diffraction compensation offered in some recent cameras)
Where third party solutions compete is in their ability to support raw from multiple brands of camera and by providing a much larger set of additional features.
Aperture provides excellent features to support the entire workflow process from initial capture to final publishing.
Its raw conversions are generally excellent in terms of the detail/noise balance. Colour and tone is usually a bit neutral or flat and needs adjusting to taste to make them pop, but the use of presets can make this fast and semi-automatic (contrast this with Lightroom which applies a profile that gives a much punchier default conversion). However, specific results will usually vary by camera; Canon, Sony and Olympus and Fuji conversions are usually well regarded, while Nikon users seem to be the most vocal about apertures flat conversions.
The use of in camera settings (tricks) designed to extend dynamic range can impact the raw processing. Where Aperture can read and understand the settings (like Fuji's DRx00% settings) it does a good job, but I see occasional issues reported from Nikon users about issues when using its ADL feature.
So whether you will need an additional raw tool will ultimately be down to what cameras and lenses you use and you own impressions of what you think of Apertures conversions for that equipment.
Unfortunately, there is no longer a demo version for you to try for yourself, although I've seen some comments here about purchasing and then asking for a refund if you are not happy, but I doubt that is official policy but perhaps contact App store support and ask.
When I bought the wrong Bourne movie in iTunes, at first I thought they'd given me the wrong one and complained. Then I realised it was my mistake so told them to forget the complaint. They emailed back saying they had refunded my purchase as it wasn't what I intended to buy. I've had several other dealings along related lines and I have to say I've never been on the wrong end of one their decisions, they have always played very fair with me.

HT3770 I have recently bought a external hard drive and I was told to down load a Fat 32 in order to work with my MAC/ Is this right and how do I find the download and how to install to make my new external drive compatible with my MAC?

What is a Fat 32 which I am suppose to download inorder to work on a MAC for external drive to be compatable ?

Bad advice. You do not need or want FAT.
You want GUID and Mac HFS Standard Journaling.
You don't download when you write files, or when you format or erase a drive.

Car Cradle for Charging and External Antenna Compatible with Tour

Is there a car kit that allows easy charging and connection to external antenna for the Tour? I had Comfort Cradles by Bury for my last two BlackBerrys, but I just was disappointed to learn that Bury does not have or even plan one for the Tour. Any suggestions? If I had known this before, I probably would have stayed with my 8830. Thanks.

To answer my own query - I just spoke to someone at Smoothtalker and was informed that Smoothtalker will be releasing a charging cradle, with external antenna conttection, for the "Tour" in "about a month."
I still would be interested in hearing from anyone else with any information concerning this.
Thank you,.
