New hard drive, can't find my original discs, on line?

Hi - never used this before, don't know how it works.
Anyone?

Call Apple and order replacement DVD's, you will need the serial number and a credit card. The discs are specific to your computer.

    I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?  I can see them in the folder using windows explorer.

    This is the first time I've asked a question using the forum.  Is my question understandable?

  • After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

    After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

    You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

    MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD,  so I did what  I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'.  im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

  • In which folder of my Seagate 3TB external hard drive, can I find my iPhoto photos from my iMac (iOS X Maverick)?

    The Seagate 3TB external hard drive backs up the entire internal hard drive of the iMac.
    Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
    Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
    Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.

  • Do I need a new hard drive & can I use Leopard?

    I have a PowerBook G4 17" 1.5Ghz with OS X 10.3.9 on the original 80GB hard drive, I've been getting a lot of problems with the computer acting very slowly and getting 'hung up' with the color wheel spinning endlessly, during which nothing responds, I can't force quit, the only thing I can do is force a shut by holding down the power key. Sometimes it takes a long time to start up. I've tried re-installing the OS but still the same problems. I ran the Apple Hardware Test which gave this error code "2STF/4/3:ATA-100 ata-6-MASTER".
    Does this all mean that my hard drive is going down and I need a new one?
    Can I use any size hard drive e.g. a 250GB one?
    Also - If I put a new hard drive in can I then install Leopard?
    All info received with many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    That code means there are problems with your hard drive. If you look at Disk utility (on your hard disk in applications/utilities) you may see that the S.M.A.R.T. status shows a problem. Or if you have SMARTreporter installed, it may not be green.
    You can certainly use up to a 160GB hard drive. There was a discussion recently suggesting a BIOS (basic input output services) limit to 160GB ... I don't know if that's real or not.
    If you do replace your hard drive, you might consider the slight price premium for a 7200rpm drive. You'll appreciate the extra snapiness in response time. And yes, you can install Leopard on it. After installing the new hard drive, boot from the DVD drive and use disk utility to format the hard drive in mac os extended (journaled) format. Then you can install Leopard.

  • New hard drive - can't back up to time capsule

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my imac. I successfully migrated all my data etc to the new hard drive. However, i can't back up to the original "backup" on time capsule. Time machined trys to set up a completely new backup for which there is insufficient space. Thus, I need to know how to back up to the existing backup, or. preferably, format the timecapsule disk to creat space and do a completely new backup. Please assist.

    plectical, welcome to the discussions!
    Time Machine / Time Capsule "sees" the new drive on your iMac as a new computer, so that is why it is attempting to back up the entire contents of the drive.
    I don't believe there is a way to tell Time Machine to continue with your current backups, but you might want to check with Apple to confirm.
    If there is not, the best option you have is to erase the current contents of the Time Capsule and start over with a new, complete backup of your iMac.
    To do this, you would go Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Disks Icon (top of pane) > Disks Tab (just below icons)> Erase Disk.
    Once complete, you would need to set up Time Machine again by opening System Preferences > Time Machine and selecting your Time Capsule as the destination for backups and start the process again.
    Allow plenty of time (overnight, maybe longer depending on much data you have to backup) for the first backup and use an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule directly to your computer if at all possible. Ethernet will be much faster than wireless and there will be less chance of errors on the large initial backup.
    Once the initial backup is completed, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will be much quicker.

  • I have a new hard drive, can I pull my contacts and ical from my iphone?

    I have a new hard drive and I would like to pull my ical and contacts from my iphone to replace what I lost but when I sync my phone it doesn't bring the data onto my computer and if I choose sync calendar and contacts it seems to want to erase the phone and replace with the blank computer data. Any ideas?

    If you are running OSX Lion and iOS 5, you can sync via iCloud.
    What versions of OSX and iOS are you running?

  • If I install new hard drive can I still restore from time machine?

    I'm planning on updating the hard drive in my macbook to a 320gb drive. I currently have a drive with around 120gb of space. I know there are programs available to back up the entire hard drive. But, I've been having issue with my computer lately and I would rather just start over and just back up microsoft office because I don't have the key anymore and my iTunes library. Can I do all this from just my Time Machine back-ups and reinstall everything else? Or is the best way to make a bootable back up to my new drive and then install the hardware in my mac book.

    I did this just a few weeks ago. I replaced my 80g hd with a 320g hd. I used time machine to backup my computer. All I had to do was swap hard drives. Use the install dvd to start computer. i then used disk utility to properly format the new hard drive (mac journaled). Then I used the restore option. That was all I had to do. Everything from my old hard drive was put on my new one in about one hour. Time Machine backs up your entire hard drive unless you excluded anything. So you can have a clean install of everything just the way it was on your old hard drive just by using Time Machine.

  • Installing a new hard drive--can I use target drive?

    I'm about to put a new hard drive in my Pismo, and I'd like to do it this way:
    a) back up my current hard drive to a G5 iMac using Ethernet and Carbon Copy Cloner
    b) install the new hard drive in the Pismo
    c) move the old data back to the new drive by setting the new drive as a "target" drive and using CCC to transfer the data back via Ethernet.
    Am I missing anything? And in step C, will I have to/can I format the new drive using the iMac and Ethernet?
    Any suggestions and/or cautions would be appreciated.
    Pismo 500 MHz, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You need to use a FireWire cable and FireWire Target Disk mode to do what you describe. Mac OS X cannot be installed over an Ethernet connection unless one of the two machines is running Mac OS X Server or there is a Mac OS X installation on the target computer in addition to the one you will be cloning. The cloning operation will not erase the destination drive, so it may need to be reformatted first; a Mac OS X installation can only exist on a disk which is formatted as Mac OS Extended or UNIX filesystem, and UFS should only be used if you have a specific reason to do so.

  • New hard drive, can't install OS

    I had a new hard drive installed for my iMac and am now trying to install my OS so I can restore from a backup.
    I tried verifying the HD and repairing the HD but messages I get in the disk utility are "Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed" both times.
    Any ideas?
    The hard drive was installed by a certified repair technician so the hard drive is compatible for the machine.

    You will need to reset both the Partition Map Scheme (to GUID) and Format (to Mac OS Extended) before you can install OS X and use it to boot an Intel iMac.
    1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    6. Once thats done then you can do a clean Install, Restore from TM or a Bootable Clone.
    At this point it is unnecessary and safe to stop the current Erase job so that you can Partition and Format the new drive.

  • New Hard drive - Can't install OS X

    Hi
    I have a fairly old macbook (unsure what make etc) I bought it as a restored one in 2012.
    Recently I got the grey screen of death with the folder and flashing question mark. I took the macbook into apple where i was told that the harddrive was dead, the kind gentleman told me I needed to order a new one - which I did - The HDD Scorpio BLU 500GB 2.5 SATA 6Gbs 8MB.
    I fitted the new hard drive fairly easily - however i still got the flashing ? in the folder. Again I went back into Apple and they said I needed to reinstall OS X onto the new drive. Now as I don't have the disk I managed to borrow it from a friend - it takes about 5 minutes but finally gets to the select a language screen which i do and then it goes to "Install Mac OSX" and the title below it says "Select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X" only there's no disk to select!?
    Is this because I've bought the wrong hard drive? Not fitted it properly (somehow!?) Am installing the wrong operating system or is the machine just dead?
    I have another appointment with apple next week but wondered if anyone could offer any advice?
    Thanks

    How is it formatted?
    In order to install OS X, it must be formatted as Mac OS Extended and GUID partition mapping.

  • Importing CD's to external hard drive-can't find folders...

    I'm importing CD's to an external hard drive, but I can't find the folders. I've changed the Folder Location to the external drive, and I'm not copying them into the Music Folders. They don't seem to be saved on the external drive, nor are they in the Music Folder in the internal Hard Drive. They're playing OK, even though a few full CD's are not automatically playing unless I find their original location.
    Should I load the iTunes.app into the External drive? How can I ensure that the songs are loading on the external drive and not the internal drive? If they are saved on the internal drive, how can I transfer them to the external drive, and have them play regularly? I have this external drive for the exclusive purpose of saving my music, and I'd like to import quite a few more cd's, but I'm waiting to make sure that I'm doing it correctly.
    Thank you, in advance.

    I appreciate your help, but I realize that I need to be more specific.
    I burned several CD's onto my orginal Mac Hard Drive. Weeks later, I added the external hard drive via a USB port. Then I copied the iTunes Music Folder (the original music files) to the external Hard Drive, and put the original into the Trash. Now when I import new CD's, it saves them to my external drive by default, which I chose through--Change Folder Locations. All of this is fine, it's what I want.
    1) When I choose iTunes, and go to the Library, all the songs are listed, original and new. However, it won't play all of the songs. It asks to find it in the original location, but only a few of the folders are listed, a few of the originals and all of the newly imported CD's.
    2) When I import new CD's, how can I be assured that it's saving them on the external drive only. If the CD takes, let's say 500MB, it doesn't seem to register as taking up 500MB of space on the external drive.
    What does consolidating the Library mean?
    I know it may sound complicated, but I feel it's an easy problem to alleviate, and I'm missing some simple step.
    Again, thank you in advance.

  • New Hard drive, can't access certain aspects. Help needed please

    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea laptop.
    I've been having problems with the hard drive so got a new one installed.
    My main issues are since getting it back, I can't access any of the original HP installations etc (I've downloaded all the drivers I know about through HP).
    The 2 main things I'm missing are 2 things that came with the laptop.
    1: Beats Audio sound system 
    2: Video Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5)
    and I have no idea how to get them back. Can anyone help. Do I need to install specific drivers? I can't find any trace that they exist on my laptop now apart from the stickers on the laptop! Any help is greatly appreciated. 
    I never had any CD back ups for the laptop. I do have the old HP back up etc saved on a USB but I don't know enough about the folders and files to know what I need to look for. (I still have the old hardrive.)
    Again, any help is massively appreciated. Thank you!
    Tony 

    If you used your HP Recovery Media, all factory install drivers and software would have been installed. If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
    If a generic Windows 7 installation disc was used, you will need to install all HP specific driver for your computer. Please try IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver, Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver, and AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver to resolve your missing drivers issues. Windows 7 64-bit driver for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.
