Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac
Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac & Window8 seperately... for couple of days it works great for both window & OS mac But nowadays, my pc gets restart automatically while using window & even I cant access to my Mac OS........... I got some error in window (error80070003) ...>>>>> Now how can I format whole drive & recover my Mac book OS.without boot disk.
I can't find that model. If you open System Profiler in the Utilities folder look for the Model Identifier over in the right hand display. What do you find for the model ID? If your computer supports Internet Recovery here's what to do:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. If Mavericks is not installed, then you can reinstall it by re-downloading the Mavericks installer.
You will need to use Boot Camp Assistant in order to create a new Windows partition, then reinstall Windows.

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

I have just purchased a new my book hard drive and would like to connect it to my time capsule and store my itunes and iphoto contentent there to free up space on my internal hard drive . Can this be done and what is the process?
I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy. -
Can I install Aperture on an external Ilmega hard drive attached to my IMac and run Aperture from there to use it with photos on my IMac iPhoto library?
It's usually best to have applications on the boot drive, so I'd turn your idea around: run Aperture from the internal disk and park iPhoto and maybe iTunes libraries on an external - which would free up space on the internal.

Any need to partition hard drives for FCS or CS4 on my new Mac Pro?
This is my first post here but have learned a lot recently just by visiting various threads. I'm new to Mac and Final Cut Studio so I have a few questions about setting up the system and hard drives. I've read about partitions on hard drives on various sites but I wonder if that is outdated advice at this point. I will be learning FCS and CS4 by working on various SD DV and HDV/AVCHD projects so I want my system flexible but as high performance as I can muster. I will be working mostly in FCP and AfterEffects for a while and do intend to burn blu-ray discs eventually.
My system is a current Mac Pro quad core with 8gb RAM with current versions of final cut and adobe suites. I will do a clean install with snow leopard. I have a 640gb main drive and I've purchased three 1tb Western Digital black internal drives. I am wondering if I need to partition my main drive because I may want to also run a windows OS eventually for blu-ray playback. The other 3 drives are intended for project files, media/capture and back-up respectively. I don't have the budget for a RAID at the moment. So my questions for this thread are:
1. Do I need to partition the main drive now or should I wait until I need to do so with boot camp/windows installation later?
2. If I should partition main drive now, how much should I dedicate for the second partition on the OS drive for eventual windows 7/blu-ray playback?
3. Should I partition any of the three additional drives?
4. If I should partition any of those additional drives, how many partitions should I make and what sizes should the partitions be for each drive?
5. Is my plan for my four drives a sound one for my purposes? (os, projects, media, backup)
Thanks in advance for any help.Hi, and welcome.
1. Don't partition your system drive until you need to. If you choose to run Windows via Bootcamp, you'll have to, in which case, 150GB will be plenty if all you want to do is playback (may even be overkill). However, you can probably do just as well running Windows under Parallels or VMWare, whch would be my recommendation. Performance is very good, and the ease of moving from OSX to Win makes them very convenient. Parallels (which I know better) automatically resizes the amount of space it needs to meet your usage. You can also run your Parallels virtual machine from somewhere other than your system disk. I imagine VMWare provides similar features. Both are well thought of.
2. Your disk use plan is OK, with one caveat - if what you're working on is critical to you, you should also have an external backup. With backup on an internal drive, there's a (very small, but definite) risk that, if the Mac Pro hit a disaster, your backup would be lost. I'd suggest an external Firewire 800 or eSATA enclosure and, either another drive, or just use one of the WDs there instead of internally.
3. Don't partition the other disks either. Just make sure they're formatted MAC OS Journaled (do this via Disk Utility). Another benefit of Parallels/VMWare is they allow Windows to read/write Mac formatted disks.
Hope that helps -
Need some help with backing up external hard drive using Time Machine
Hi all, I'm trying to work out the best way to back up multiple iPhoto libraries using Time Machine.
At the moment I have got an iMac and Macbook Pro, both of which have an iPhoto library (with different content). Currently these are not backed up at all. So what I want to do is back both up to an NAS drive, which I know is straightforward.
What I also want to do is create one iPhoto library on an external hard drive that I can use with my MBP, and then delete the iPhoto library on my MBP to free up some hard drive space (it's running slower and slower and I'm hoping that this might help it run quicker).
So, as I want to have the library on two seperate drives in case one fails, what I want to know is whether I could use Time Machine to back up my external hard drive as well as the internal drive of my MBP? Also, would I need to have the external drive connected at all times for Time Machine to "see" it?
I hope that makes sense, all I seem to be doing currently is going round and round and can't work out whether what I want to do is possible or not.
Thanks in advanceIf I understand your goal correctly, you're considering using Time Machine as external storage, and it doesn't work that way. Time Machine keeps around what it can, and older stuff gets flushed as the storage available to Time Machine reaches its lower threshold due to the addition of newer stuff. When the older stuff gets flushed is not predictable.
It is possible to have several Time Machine backups aimed at the same target (this can be done with Apple Time Capsule, for instance), though you might want to partition the disks to ensure that the intended amount of storage is available. Different NAS drives have different features here.
NAS is only as fast as your network connection, and that's almost always much slower than the in-box I/O connections; a local disk will be far faster than a NAS disk, just because of the bottleneck that is wired gigabit Ethernet, and most WiFi is slower and sometimes far slower than wired gigabit Ethernet. FWIW.
If your MacBook Pro is old enough and you have $$ but aren't in a position to spend $$$$$ on a newer model, then consider an in-place drive upgrade.
If your network connection is fast enough to transfer the amount of data you're dealing with in a reasonable time, there are also hosted storage options.
You can use a NAS drive as storage independent of Time Machine, and relocate stuff there. (You'll still want to have backups of that data, as NAS drives — even NAS with RAID — can still lose files, become corrupted or otherwise ruin your data day.
As for your performance, keeping about 10% or so free on the disks is the local preference, but it's worth reviewing the performance of the whole system — Performance Monitor, Console.app, etc — to see if there's something else going on, or if your system load and personal performance expectations are exceeding what your MacBook Pro can provide. -
I need some help deciding on a External Hard Drive..
I have heard a lot of good things about G-Technology, Seagate and others.
I am having trouble trying to find a difference between them all. I like the style of the G-Technology but I cant tell a difference between some of there models like the Graid 2 or the G Drive besides price. I dont yet understand all the different ways to connect about all I know is Firewire is faster then USB
second I dont know how to back up stuff. This is what Im looking for. I want to just have as much unused space on my mac book pro as possible. So I want to throw my videos, music, and photos onto the external and not use up my internal hard drive on the laptop.You don't say what you'll be using the drive for, but for many, the hard-drive world is divided into two camps: video applications and non-video. If you're not doing video work (as in Final Cut Pro, FCE/HD, etc.), then slower speed drives (5400 RPM) and busses (Firewire 400, USB 2) will usually work fine. Also, you can get by (often) with less space. However if you are doing video production, you'll need speed (7200RPM) as well as capacious size (because video takes up an incredible amount of space).
I have used a number of different Firewire drives--LaCie, Maxtor, Seagate, and... most recently, G-Tech (RAID Mini). I've been relatively happy with all of them, though less so with the Maxtor (quality control issues--I've had a couple of them take a dive way before they should have). Also, the LaCie units seem to have more 'connectivity' issues than the others. I like the Seagate 400GB unit just fine, though it's not as fast as the G-Tech.
What I'm getting to is that if you can afford it, the G-Tech is the drive to get. Faster than anything I've ever owned. Completely reliable whether bus-powered or AC. Awesome quality, reliability, speed etc. It's tiny, so I can take it in my laptop backpack and do video production anywhere. This drive is the best computer peripheral purchase I've ever made, and I've made a few. Soooo worth the money.
For backups, I use a combination of SuperDuper! (for backing up my System etc.) and Apple's Backup (everything else). Neither has the feature set of Retrospect (which I use at work), but at home, I don't need that. These work fine.
Just my opinion. Hope it helps. -
Help! I had to have a new hard drive put in my computer and now it doesn't
I had to replace my hard drive and then the company that did that put in windows Vista Ultimate for me and I have heard that I will lose everything that is in my Ipod since it will have to reformat itself...what can I do? I don't want to lose all my movies and music...
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here, you'll also need to check out which ones are Vista ready as the may not all be updated to be compatible yet: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -
I have an imac and ipad 2 which I am currently trying to back up to the computer in order that I can wipe the pad completely and pass it on to someone else as I now have a new pad.
The problem I am getting is that the ipad back up cannot be complete as there is not enough space available on the computer?
I have a 1TB and a 2TB external hard drives available with space on both so how do I back up the ipad to one of these then load back onto the new pad??Mac - How to Move the iPhone & iPad iTunes Backup folder to an External Hard Drive

Format Hard Drive for Capture w/ FCP and use on PC?
Can someone tell me how I can format a hard drive that will ultimately be used by a client with only PC's -- so that I can capture video on my Mac using FCP?
In the past, I thought FCP broke up captured video into 2 GB segments when a hard drive was formatted for MS-DOS. But tonight I formatted my client's external hd using Disk Utility and the drive wasn't even available under system settings on FCP.
I'm really not at all PC-savvy anymore...can someone tell me if there is way to do this?
If it matters, I'm capturing home video from several sources: Canopus ADVC-300, and mini-DV tapes using a Sony camcorder.
Thanks!
JennyThank you so much. The NTFS-3G did the trick. I have one more dumb question (again...I'm completely PC-illiterate). Would .dv be the best format for me to capture video again for a client who is a home user of a PC? I was planning to capture with FCP (in .mov format) -- but perhaps for ease of use for the client, I should use Toast or iMovie and capture in .dv?
Again...thanks for your help. This is the first time I've encountered this situation!

If I install parallels on my mac mini, can I pull my PC hard drive out, use a hard drive enclosure, and run my PC programs through the mini?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Moreover, you may be able to start your Mac directly from your PC hard drive and run Windows as you did with your PC. To do it, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and choose the PC hard drive.
If you want to do it in Parallels, you have to set it up in order to use the PC hard drive as the virtual hard disk -
Need urgent help in a simple java program that adds up even numbers and..
The task is to write a program that allows the user to enter 8 integers and then displays the sum of the odd integers and the product of the even integers
what i did so far is
public class Computation
private int n;
private int even;
private int odd;
public Computation()
even =0;
odd = 1;
public Computation(int num1, int num2, int num3,int num4,int num5,int num6,int num7, int num8)
n = num1;
n = num2;
n = num3;
n = num4;
n = num5;
n = num6;
n = num7;
n = num8;
for(int i=0; i<=n; i++)
if(n%2 == 0)
even += n;
else
odd *=n;
public int getEven(int n)
return even;
public int getOdd()
return odd;
import java.util.*;
public class Tester
public static void main(String [] args)
System.out.println("Enter any three words");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int num1 = input.nextInt();
int num2 = input.nextInt();
int num3 = input.nextInt();
int num4 = input.nextInt();
int num5 = input.nextInt();
int num6 = input.nextInt();
int num7 = input.nextInt();
int num8 = input.nextInt();
Computation compute = new Computation(num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6, num7, num8);
System.out.println("The Summation of the even numbers is: " + compute.getEven( ) + "\n" +"The product of the odd numbers is: " + compute.getOdd());
}The result i get is always zero.. however, i think the problem lies in the first class when i constructed the numbers and sat them all to one object "n",
i need help in fixing this bug,,

You know how to declare a method, right? You have several in your code, so I assume you do.
You already know how to check if a given variable is even or odd. You already showed that code, so I assume you do.
Now put those two together and you'll have a method that decides if the value passed to it is even or odd.
Now put the desired action in each of the branches of the if-statement and you're almost done.
Now call the method with each method from your constructor and you're done. -

I'm thinking of getting an ipad but due to having too many songs/movies etc I'm running out of space on my Macbook (250gb). I want to access all my music on my phone and ipad and macbook from any internet connection... Is there a way of doing this?
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
Non purchased movies such as home video can't be uploaded to iCloud and would require a third party cloud storage solution.
