New hard drive - Disk Permissions not working

Recently had my Hard Drive relplaced, and while updating ran in to multipul issues.
The main one being with iTunes, I can't download songs I purchased from my iPhone & when I try to do it manually it tells me the my permissions need to be changed. So I ran a permissions verification on DiskUtility and it's telling me a whole bunch of stuff doesn't match up.
Should I run a repair?
Any other ideas?
Also, my last hard drive had no issue installing Mountain Lion, and this one refuses.
Any one else have this issue?

Yes, that has AFT. See MKxx75GSX.
I uploaded all the drivers..
But the point is that when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, all the drivers are already properly installed. Everything should work as it originally did.
I would perform the restore again and immediately install this driver.

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

I have a new hard drive. iPhoto does not show as purchased in App Store although I had it on the old hard drive. How do I reinstall it without buying it again?

Thank you.

Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

I have installed a new hard drive but can not recover from the HP 2 recovery disks

My computer: HP Pavilion dv9825nr
Windows Vista Home Premiu. SP 1
My old computer (I have a new HP laptop) had a bad hard drive so I bought a new hard drive - 488599-001, as recommended by HP.
When I try to restore using the diskds I bought from HP, I get an error: 0x400110020000100A.
Windows does not recognize the hard drive and I read somewhere tghat the Vista restore disks are problematic.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Good timing for expert day :-)

Hi:
If you think you did something in the BIOS, just set it to its defaults, save and exit.
Here is what you need to do to make your own vista disk...
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

Hard drive broke. ipod not working with new computer

Hello,
My computer hard drive recently died on me.
I got a new hard drive installed and I downloaded a new version of itunes (I think the latest) but when I connect my ipod to my computer, although it turns on the ipod, my computer isn't reading the ipod. I tunes isn't being started up and when I start it up manually it doesn't read my ipod either.
Someone at work here suggested it may be that the version of itunes I have installed is not compatible with the ipod I have. My ipod is a couple of years old at least. Can that be possible?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

New hard drive. Will not boot from install dvd.

Earlier this week, I dropped my computer.
It was probably a 3 foot fall.
Computer froze, so I restarted and got the flashing folder with question mark.
Started in internet recovery, and disk utility confirmed that I had killed my hard drive.
Got a new hard drive and installed. Started in internet recovery, formatted hard drive. Disk utility says it's good to go.
Was given the option to install Mavericks, but keep getting an error message.
Attempted to restart from install dvd that came with the MBP. Tried every startup shortcut there is.
Optical drive recognizes the disk, but I always get stuck on the gray screen with the wheel.
Reset PRAM. Reset SMC. Same problems. I do not have access to another mac or a PC with admin rights.
I'd rather not brave the Apple Store this weekend in the snow in a town that never gets snow (people drive poorly on a good day!).
Any tips?
Got the MBP in 2010, new. Was running mountain lion when I dropped it.
Thanks!

Yiou can't use Internet recovery on a 2010 Mac notebook to install any version of OS X on it. That is why you are getting that error. You have to use the original System reinstall discs that came with it to install OS X on a new drive or use the OS X reinstall disk to restore from a time machine backup.
Since your system doesn't seem to want to completely boot from that disc you should try an external DVD drive that connects by USB port as the built in superdrives are known to fail or partially fail at any time. Don't buy an Apple external Superdrive as they only work on Mac computer that did not originally come with a built in DVD drive. Any Brand external DVD drive will work on your Mac except Apples own external DVD drive.

HELP w/iBook, New Hard Drive; OSX does not detect

couple of months ago, my ibook was acting up
I thought it was the Hard Drive... because at first, the position of the laptop affected it (it would like freeze, and all i had to do was stand the laptop up and then i'd be fine) so i thought it was hardware......
I checked the disk utility.....
and SMART was reporting serious errors......
so i felt it was the HD gone bad, after the many times of "banging" it around (nothing big tho)
and then......
it didnt start anymore
it would "freeze" and get error
so it was basically dead....
I FINALLY got a new Hard DRive for it and i was thrilled
I had CompUsa install it for me for $30....
I was gonna install osx myself.....
I picked it up
did the "Apple Hardware Test"
just to do it.....
everything checked out fine....... "Mass Storage - Passed"
I put the OS discs in and im clicking away "continue, etc"
it comes to the point where it asks me to choose a destination
a partition on the hard drive i presume......
and there's nothing there
my hard drive just isnt listed.....
I figured the hard drive just needed to be formatted......
aftere eventually realizing that there's a disk utility available during installation....
I thought i had figured it all out......
but upon opening the disc utility....
again, the utility did not detect the hard drive....
did CompUsa not plug the hard drive in right? is that even possible?
OR........
is the hard drive i bought not compatible?
I ordered from:https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
who specialize in mac stuff.....
I bought my laptop early 2004, and according to the site, i should be fine...
I then figure out my laptop is a 2003 model? 800mhz, etc. but even then,
the site says all 2003 models are supported.....
ahh.....
why is OSX not detecting it?
I wanna format, partition, and have my ibook back for good.....
and why does my "apple hardware test" say that my mass storage system is fine?
I tried searching for solutions....
I read someone whom had a similar problem....
and it turned out it was an OSX problem, not hardware....
anyways...
I sure dont hope that's the case, since i already bought the new Hard Drive...
im so confused....
do i tell CompUsa they didnt install it "right"?
someone please help
thank you

I'm not sure why everyone's so fixated on the hard drive's partitioning and whatnot... that wouldn't have any relation to whether or not you could boot from the Mac OS X install disk. From the sounds of it, your problem is that you have no bootable system on the hard drive and can't boot from the Mac OS X install disk, correct?
If that's right, then the problems are very simple indeed. First, your machine may not meet the [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html], thus can't boot from a SL install disk. If this is a 2008 MBP, that's unlikely.
Second, you could be using a bad disk. The most likely explanation, in my experience, is that you're using the gray disks that shipped with a different machine. You did say that it was a retail disk, though, so I'm assuming that's not it. You could also have a retail disk with a system that's too old. You [can't install an older system than what your Mac shipped with|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186]. That also doesn't seem likely if this is indeed a 2008 MacBook Pro. Or, perhaps the disk itself is defective.
The other possibility would be some kind of hardware problem, perhaps involving the optical drive.
One way to determine what's going on is to try booting with the gray disks that shipped with your machine. If you can't boot from those disks either, you're probably looking at an optical drive problem. If you can, try running [Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509] to rule out other possible hardware problems.

New hard drive and itunes not getting along

I purchases a new external hard drive for my i mac dv 400. the hard drive was getting too full. I need to put itunes on the new hard drive but during install it tells me that i tunes needs to be in the start up volume. what does this mean? is it still possible to get the bulk of itunes on the new drive. or am I stuck again

Hopefully someone there can help me with this problem which is related to backing up using external hard drives and two MACs. I back up using my Laptop and G5 by periodically copying the most up to date Itunes library to the other one. I use the external hard drive to copy them back and forth while at the same time, having a 3rd copy. However, everytime I do this, when I go to play a "purchased" song from my purchased songs in the library, I get the message that this is the 2nd and then 3rd and the 4th....computer I am downloading to and I only have 5 allowable downloads. Evidently, Itunes is not recognizing that this is a same computer that I have been using as a back up. Hopefully this problem is clear to those of you reading this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

After restoring from Time Machine to new Hard drive, system will not boot

I replaced my hard drive on my Macbook (2008 model) with a larger drive. I then put in my Snow Leopard disk, and followed the steps to restore from Time Machine backup. a few hours later it said it was restored, but when trying to boot up, I just get a blue screen with an occasional flicker to the Leopard screen. I tried an earlier back up as well but with the same results. Any suggestions??

Same exact problem here just yesterday, folks.
Got a bigger hard drive on my MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo) and installed it. Followed the restore procedures from Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/333319/the-secret-of-the-time-machine+assisted-hard-drive-swa p). Then got the blue screen immediately after the chimes.
I only managed to transfer my old disk content by using CarbonCopyCloner.
Having said that, your solution looks uselful, Portland Mac! :

But I would not say the following:
Portland Mac wrote:

Am I mistaken, or did you do a fresh install after restoring your TimeMachine backup?
In any case, I found an interesting Apple article that might confirm that there is a problem: [Mac OS X v10.6: Issues after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine backup made with a different Mac ("Restore System From Backup…")|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3243]. Or is it a completely different thing?
And another discussion that might give some good advice: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12578529#12578529]. Personally, I will now do as the man says: two backups, on two different external hard drives, using different apps, the other one being CarbonCopyCloner...
For info, and I don't know whether that matters, my backup disk had been full and some past content had been erased automatically by Time Machine. But I don't think this should have mattered...

Need to wipe hard drive, Lion Recovery not working

I've been having problems with this mac and want to completely wipe my hard drive and only put on the Lion operating system, my itunes music, iphoto folders, and a few folders that are already backed up on an external hardrive. My cd-rom drive doesn't work, so I need to use the online Lion Recovery to safely reinstall lion after I clear my hard drive. When I restart and hold down CMD-R, it doesn't bring me to the Lion Recovery/Disk Utility window. It only shuts down after a while. I've tried this many times and I'm not sure why I can't get into the partition so I can reinstall Lion without using a disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could tell me exactly how to put on the select items above (not an entire system backup) that would be great. I just need a complete computer makeover because it's a 2008 macbook pro and its been slowing down a lot. Thanks!

Well by the sounds of it you have a hardware problem of some sort, perhaps not.
Your going to need a friends Lion Mac and Admin access to do this trick to copy thier Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
Once you have that you can option boot off the Recovery USB and wipe your entire drive (use the Disk Utiilty > Erase and one selection from the right to securely erase and map off failiing sectors, takes longer but better for your drive and data), then install Lion from Apple's servers with your Apple ID and password.
Setup with the same User name (different password ok) if you want to preserve your iTunes playlists, next hook up your storage drive and return files into their old Music, Pictures etc folders.
No settings will be transfered or anythng else, you set up everything fresh and new again, aka "Erase and Fresh install method" of #20 here
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Later you should be looking at making a option key bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner to another blank external drive, this way you can boot off of it and reverse clone in case of problems.

Repairing Disk Permissions - Not Working with Lion

I simply am not able to repair disk permissions when my Mac is booted normally - the disk utility hangs and never stops - when I boot in recovery more I can run the utility just fine - and then boot as normal. I am wondering what might be causing this or if anyone else is having a similar problem?

With Lion, it is best to do any disk repairs via the recovery partition
And why do you say that? I have heard no such thing, and this was never the case with previous systems. It has always been recommended to repair permissions while booted from the system whose permissions need to be repaired. Do you have documentation that this recommendation has changed?
Joe, repairing permissions works fine for me without needing to boot into recovery mode. Are you giving it plenty of time to finish? Sometimes it may seem to be frozen... sticking on "less than a minute" for well more than a minute, for example. Have you repaired the hard drive (which you do need to boot from the recovery partition to do)?

Moved Music to New Hard Drive - Required folder not found??? pls help

Hello
I have recently purchased a new external hard drive as my crappy Dell was full to the brim with music.
I have moved all my music files over to the hard drive and re installed itunes.
Now when i drag my music folder into the itunes library it updates but the shortly after an error message occurs that says:-
'Itunes Libray music file cannot be saved. Required folder not found'
Previously i have saved my itunes folder within my music folder?.
Now everytime i close down itunes all my music has gone from it!??
Any suggestions....sorry if being really ignorant..not too profficient on computers..
Thanks in advance.

I think itunes by default looks inside you my music folder. In the itunes preferences screen there is an option to select a new folder to your library. Change the path to the music folder on your external drive. Make sure to always have the drive turned on before launching itunes though.
You may also be able to replace the my music folder with a shortcut to the music folder on the external drive. This behavior may not work in windows though so I'm not sure.

How to access internal hard drive with screen not working

Veteran Mac user from Spain,
I am a graphic designer and i have a MacBook Pro 17 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (Santa Rosa) which i purchased in October of 2007 along with a 23 inch Apple Cinema HD Display Monitor which i have hooked up to my MacBook when i am working at home. About 2 months ago the right hand ventilator started making a very loud noise but because i had a lot work on i did not have time to send it away to be fixed. Then about a month ago the fan stopped working and i was very concerned that my MacBook was going to overheat but to my surprise the temperature never rose above 60 degrees, so i continued to work and every thing seemed to be okay. But a couple of weeks ago i was online and the computer suddenly froze up and when i restarted it all i got was a black screen on both the MacBook and the Cinema Display Monitor. The hard disk seems to boot correctly and the keyboard on the MacBook also is responsive (volume, brightness controls, caps/number lock, etc… are all responsive and the retroilumination on the keyboard also works). So on reading up on the forums i discovered that the graphics card NVIDIA 8600M GT is in fact faulty. I called apple and explained the problem and they told me that i will also have to replace the logic board.
On discovering the problem i realised that it would take a while to be fixed and i would need another Mac to continue working. So last week last week i purchased a Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Cinema Display and everything is working fine, BUT i desperately need to access my work folder on my MacBook's internal drive.
Can anybody tell me how to transfer the files from my MacBook (late 2007) to my Mac Mini without the screen working on my MacBook?
If it helps, my MacBook is running Leopard 10.5.8 and the Mac Mini is running Lion 10.7.2. The Mac Mini has an Intel i5 processor 2.3 GHz.
I would really appreciate the help, it is very urgent and i need to find a very quick solution, clients depend on it.

Thank you very much for your swift response.
I am going to try the second option that you propose because as i mentioned in my first post, i had my MacBook Pro hooked up to my Apple Cinema HD Display monitor and both screens were black.
Just one question…
Will the hard drive need an extrenal power source?
I am guessing that it will use the Mac Mini's power supply but i just want to make sure.
Thanks again! You have been most helpful.
