New hdd

Recently, my hard drive crashed and so i got a new one. my whole music library was linked to all my music which is on an external hard drive. after installing my os (windows xp professional), all applicable updates, drivers for my Belkin firewire/usb2.0 card, itunes and downloading the newest updater software, Windows still will not recognize the Ipod at all. it is charging through the fireire port, and my external is plugged into the usb (and working at 2.9 speeds), so i know the card is working. i'm sure this question has been asked numeous times, but seriously, what else can i do?

Hi,
Vendors pre-formatted their HDD's, SSD's therefore no need to reformat again and Recovery media (DVD's or USB) from HP will put everything in order for you.

Portege R600 - How do I install XP on a new HDD?

I did the mechanical install of a new hard drive, and know it's correct.
Now, I want to install XP - not Vista. However, nothing I have tried will enable the BIOS to recognize that new drive. Toshiba XP "alternative media" disk should include the SATA drivers, but it doesn't work.
What did I miss?

The new HDD is SATA, similar to the original 160 but larger.
I don't know how to check whether it's visible in the BIOS -- ??
I installed the drive, then tried to use the Toshiba alternative OS disk - XP. It didn't see the HDD. So, I tried a new XP install disk, which also didn't see the HDD.
It seems to me that the Toshiba alternative OS disk - XP - should have the SATA drivers on it. No?

HDD on IdeaCentre A730 is bad. Can't clone it and I can't figure out how to restore to a new HDD

There is something wrong with the HDD, I'm assuming bad sectors. Every once in a while files won't read. I can still boot from the HDD, and all the files that are important seem to be fine. I bought a new HDD of the exact same specs to replace it, as I don't want to continue using it with the uncertainty that some file I save won't be there later.
I thought I could clone the drive, and I've tried a few different software packages, but they all fail when they can't read a certain section of the HDD. Making a recovery USB didn't work, as it seems to expect the original HDD in the machine (it needs a certain partition that's not there on the new HDD).
I'm willing to do a clean install but I don't see a way to do it? There aren't any windows 8 cd's, the recovery USB doesn't seem to work unless the original HDD is still there.
Any help would be great!!

Hi baj, welcome to the forums,
sorry to read about your situation, you're probably right about the drive failing. Hopefully you've backed up all your important files already; if you haven't I'd treat that as Nr. 1 priority. When cloning I have always reverse cloned; new drive mounted in the system with the original attached through USB or whatever. My preferred cloning software is Acronis.
Something that has worked for me when cloning a "suspect" drive with probable defective sectors is when cloning to select a sector for sector copy, (takes longer), but also select to ignore errors during the process. Results have been mixed and running checkdisk on the new drive has helped on occasions.
Another "trick" which can sometimes influence / improve the process is to cool the original drive using coolbag ice pacs laid on top of the original drive in a plastc bag, so the drive doesn't get wet from the condensation, during the process.
If the clone completes and the drive is only half way useable your USB recovery drive may work, (can't be sure on this; never been in the situation so if you get that far let me know please)
Also there is the option to call support and request a set of recovery discs, which they may charge for, but you would definitely be able to install the new drive with them.

Recently bought a new HDD, and encrypted it, and it no longer works on any machine, help?

Recently bought a new HDD, and encryped it and it no longer works...
Does anyone have any idea how or why?
I can't seem to press anything except repair and verify...

I followed what it said on another one of these discussion forums, by going onto the disk and changing it to encrypted, created a password then pressed erase, and it no longer will open at all, even on normal windows

HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music. Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from. Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files. I have not had to reinstall iTunes software. The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music. I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable

Hey everyone,
I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized. The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it. To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new. The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility.
Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
Thank you

jc1388,
Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.
best of luck

How i can install Mavericks on new HDD because my mac hdd broken

i have macbook pro A1286 hard disk damage . i buy new HDD and fix it on my mac , then how i can install Mavericks ?
i try many times but i cant finish this problem because i cant access to disk utilities or recovery mood because already the hdd is new&empty .
Please Help
[email protected]
Thanks

It's going to be impossible to install Mavericks unless you have a working Mavericks-USB-installer or an "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" that YOU have downloaded from the App Store in the past.
You should use a Snow Leopard install DVD to install 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on your Mac. From there, you can use your "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" to install Mavericks. If you don't have that, you can download and install Yosemite from the Mac App Store instead.
If you don't have either a Snow Leopard install DVD or a custom made Mavericks-installer-USB, you should call Apple and buy a Snow Leopard install DVD from them. They're still for sale.
The other option is to use another, still functioning, Mac and connect the two using a firewire cable. Then you can use Target Disk Mode to install Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac http://support.apple.com/nl-nl/ht1661

My hdd is gone and now I have a new one without my old key - how can I get my stored data on my new hdd?

all data on my old hdd is lost after an crash. so i changed it with a new hdd. but the old sync key is not longer available. I generated a new key so i lost all my old date stored with sync... is there any way to restore the old data from my old hdd sync key...?

Sorry, no. The SyncKey is used for encryption / decryption during the Sync process, without the Sync Key that was used to encrypt your personal data as it was uploaded to the Sync storage server your data is worthless. Plus, when you generate a new Sync Key for an existing account, all the data that is saved on the server for that account is deleted for your security.
Do you still have the old HDD? It may work long enough for you to extract your Firefox data, if you put that drive in a USB drive enclosure and access it as an external drive. <br />

From old website and iWeb to new HDD and iLife '08?

I wasn't sure which category to post this in but this may seem more relevant to my issue.
I put a new HDD in my mac some time ago and also upgraded to Leopard OS. I created a site using iWeb 6 which still have saved on my original HDD which i now have for external use. I just bought iLife '08 but yet to install it as I would like to update the website I was working on rather than start from scratch. The site mainly consists of photos and videos where I used iPhoto and Quicktime Pro a lot. I have also copied my iPhoto library onto my new HDD.
What is the best way for me to copy and continue updating the site I was working whilst upgrading to iLife '08 so I can enjoy the benefits it has and use the features to help me progress with the site?
Any help much appreciated

Put the domain file in :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
Open iWeb 06.
If you start using iWeb 08, it will find your domain file and updates it to iWeb 08.

HDD failure - can you import photos & music from iPod to new HDD?

My Hardrive gave up the ghost last night (flashing folder with ?) I have taken it back today to have a replacement HDD under warranty.
The only backup I have as such is all my music and photos on the iPod. When I get my MB back with the new HDD is there a way to get iTunes to import all the music & album artwork? aslo will iPhoto be able to import the photos (which are all on the iPod at full quality)?
Needles to say I will be buying Time Capsule in the next few weeks as it's going to take me ages to redo all the speedsheets and documents that were not backed up

There are a number of programs that can transfer data from an iPod to a Mac. Senuti is free but I don't know if it does just music or can transfer other data as well. At any rate, hit your favorite Mac download site and search on iPod.

New HDD, asking for pw, no option boot

Hi all,
I'm trying to ready my 17" Core Duo iMac, 2006 model for sale. Along the way, Apple geniuses helped me diagnose a failed HDD, so I bought a new one, and replaced it yesterday. When I log in, it all looks great, until I get to a login window asking for a Name and Password! Under Mac OS X logo, the fine print says "freelance6osx" if that's any clue for anyone.
Now the plot thickens. I can put in various install disks, the one that came with the machine (10.4), and one that came with my newer machine (10.6), and hold down any number of keys, and the best I can get with either the C key or option key held during boot is a very brief flash of a ? folder before it happily goes on to boot from the new hdd and whatever "account" is there on it. (there are sometimes more, sometimes less, encouraging whirrrrs of the CD in the drive) No single user boot, no safe boot, no resetting PRAM is possible, try as I might. I am always sent back to the login in window, and obviously have no clue about either user name or pw. I'm royally stuck!!
Any ideas?

Here's the solution: I had to use my Snow Leopard (purchased) install disk. The disks that came with this machine were for an older OS, and the one that was for another machine, while it was Snow Leopard, also was incompatible. But the SL install disk allowed me to boot from the disk, and I'm on my way.

MBP disk0s2 IO error, but some time boot fine.. new HDD doesn't solve this problem

Hello, Apple and all.
Yesterday I get hung a computer after sleep (first time in half a year after replacing the Logic Board).
After turning off and on again, notebook can't determine internal HDD, but this disk if use USB-SATA adaptor work perfectly.
Resetting the SMC / PRAM has not solved the problem.
Replace HDD, also has not solved the prov
In the end, I bought a new HDD, the store I installed it and formatted.
At home, he first worked, then it stopped again determined.
When the laptop lid is screwed on to the bottom of the bolt is not all, the laptop works... should tighten them all, again there is an error, this time "disk0s2 IO Error"
What could happen ?

Could just be the cable. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648100?start=45&tstart=0 .

CS5 Design Standard. Will not activate on new HDD following transfer from old HDD. Shows Error 213.10 Have serial number/s etc.

I recently encountered a problem with a HDD drive. So I had to replace it with a new one. Fortunately I managed to recover the data and applications on the original drive.
However when I transferred and installed the Adobe CS5 Design Standard suite on the new HDD it will not open any of the Adobe applications.
It prompts an error 213.10 each time. I can't see where to deactivate or reactivate.. please advise suggested course of action.
Also, will I be able to successfully access my previous files after the reinstallation/activation?
Many thanks
R

Reinstall properly. Activation cannot work because in the technical sense it simply isn't there. You screwed it. Run teh cleaner tool if necessary and contact support to reset activations.
