Opening PDF causes spare Hard drive to spin up

Hello,
I use Adobe Web Premium CS3 on my desktop. The OS and software are installed on the primary drive. I have a spare hard drive on the desktop that is used infrequently. After an hour of using my desktop, the spare drive usually spins down due to no-activity.
Now, anytime after this happens, if I open a pdf (from the desktop or the web), and try to scroll thru' it, there is a delay - till the spare drive spins up. Once the drive is up, I can browse the PDF without a problem.
I'm guessing that the Web Premium CS3 installation (or a subsequent update) installed something on the spare drive that is needed for Adobe to read PDF.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks
Note: The OS is Win 7 (x64) Ultimate. Acrobat is version 8.1.7

Adobe CS5 programs have trouble opening folders on external hard drives under 10.10.2

Just upgraded 2 mac's to 10.10.2. One is a late 2013 Mac Pro, the other is a lot-of-the line, BTO iMac 5K. (Processors and Ram are not an issue)
Both InDesign and Illustrator (CS5) are having difficulty opening folders on external hard drives. Mac Pro is connected to a 5GB LaCie d2 via thunderbolt cable, while the 5K is connected to a 2TB WD my book studio for Mac via FW800 with an apple branded Thunderbolt adapter. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Using the File>open command then drilling down to the selected folder on the Hard Disk drive, the finder sits blank with the spinning beach ball going.
Other local folders open up quickly and populate file lists with no problems.
Some folders on the external drive can be accessed through the File>open finder dialogue however they are folders that contain fewer sub-folders and files.
Update while typing this...
Both Folders that were giving us problems contained a shortcut. Hiding that shortcut inside anouther local folder seems to have cleared up the trick. This is a short term work around and I am wondering if Apple is aware of this issue or if others have found the same problem as I have and if this work around fixes their issues?

How long have you been running 10.9?
In my case the external drives go to sleep and have to wake up. Not much to do with Mavericks, just hardware sleeping to save energy. Note that 10.9 is much more energy aware and may put things to sleep more often. That may be a fair trade off

IPod Photo refuses to sleep when hard drive is spinning

I am own an iPod Photo 60GB running the iPod Software 1.2 (for iPod with color display).
I cannot turn my iPod Photo 60GB off/put it into sleep mode while the hard drive is being accessed or spinning. This normally means that some music is playing, but it also can happen when a track is paused. This issue occurs for both ways to put an iPod into sleep mode: 1)"Sleep" from the menu, or 2)holding the play/pause button for a few seconds. Attempting either of these methods of turning my iPod off/putting it to sleep while the hard drive is spinning results in the iPod NOT going to sleep. When I select the "Sleep" item from the menu, I can hear the "click" sound, so I know the selection of that menu item is being detected by my iPod.
Generally speaking, this issue happens when I have just removed my iPod from being docked with my computer, and it starts playing a track because I hit the play button accidentally while disconnecting the iPod. Usally the first thing I want to do is put the iPod to sleep, because I am going somewhere and don't want to use that battery when I'm not listening to it.
My workaround: If I select a track at the end of an album/playlist, and then fast forward to the end of that track so that NO music/sound is playing on my iPod Photo 60GB, and the hard drive is not spinning, then I am able to use the "Sleep" menu item or the hold the play/pause button for a few seconds method. Also, if I let the track play for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two until the the hard drive is not spinning anymore, then I am able to put my iPod to sleep. But shouldn't the sleep feature work immediately? None of Apple's documentation or TIL articles suggest otherwise.
This problem is not related to the hold switch being in the "hold" position, as I am trying all of this with the hold switch NOT in the "hold" position. Also, it is not related to the battery power being low, as it happens with a full charge.
I have read threads with a similar issue to mine, however the clarification needs to be made that this "bug", as I'll call it, only occurs when the hard drive is spinning/being accessed. Many people have mentioned troubles with putting their iPod to sleep while listening to a Podcast. This makes sense because some Podcasts are too large to fit into the iPod's RAM cache, and so the hard drive is accessing the Podcast through it's entire length. None of these threads have any useful input from Apple Computer support other than the suggestion of resetting the iPod or restoring the iPod's software. In both cases, the suggested solution DOES NOT fix the problem permanently.
With the hopes that because ALL iPods that Apple sells currently will most likely have this problem, by starting a "new", more detailed thread on this issue, perhaps Apple will get this message to a higher level and actually do something about it.
I would highly suggest if you have an iPod Photo (any size) or one of the "new" color iPod's, that you try seeing if you can put your iPod to sleep when your hard drive is being accessed, and if not - Please Post on this Thread. The more posts that come up on a thread, the more likely that someone with Apple will notice.
Thanks for reading...

To elaborate more on what Rob said. Since the iPod is a hard drive based device(similar to your computer) the disc inside spins and there is a needle to read the data.
What you are suggusting would be like yanking the power cord out of your computer in mid install of something, the chance of data lose is there and if happened enough bad sectors can arise. Should you do that? No, Would you do it? In most cases not.
A bad sector would in most causes make the ipod freeze when accessing it or make it fail its disk check and requiring replacement.

Why are my external hard drives always spinning up?

DESKTOP MAC.
I came home to my Mac after a day away, and found one of my external hard drives had been running apparently all day. The only thing I had open was Camino and iTunes, and also Activity Monitor.
DESKTOP MAC.
I often find the other hard drive(s) spin up at seemingly random times, for instance as soon as I sat down and started browsing the Web, the other external hard drive also spun up.
Why? I didn't do anything which would call for them to be active.
Is there any way to tell if certain applications have incorrectly placed important files on the external HD's (i.e. Safari putting its cache there, or iTunes linking to songs on an external)?
Are there utilities which can tell me which applications are banging on which disks or volumes?
DESKTOP MAC. Not laptop. Please do not give answers which use the words "sleep", "clamshell" or "battery". Again this is a desktop Mac not a laptop.
Oh and one other thing. It's a desktop Mac. Not a laptop. External drives are USB. Also it's a desktop Mac.

If it is a desktop machine, you want the hard drives to keep running all the time; it is disastrous to their longevity to be stopping and starting repeatedly.
I have a Seagate (that is NOT a recommendation) that I bought at a local PC outlet, and it insists on stopping and starting every 35 seconds or so, when I am not using the machine.
I found the utility Keep Drive Spinning on Apple’s web site ( www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/keepdrivespinning.html ) and I added it to my login items. During the boot process, it shows a dialogue; I click on a volume on the drive and type in 33 (seconds).
Thanks, Jon Stovell!!
p.s. There is a setting “Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible” in System Preferences: Energy Saver. This should be off, for the same reason; this is strictly for laptops, in my opinion.
p.p.s. If I leave my machine on, while I am not using it for a day or so, I put it to Sleep; under those circumstances, Keep Drive Spinning does allow the machine to sleep properly.

Will not open leopard on external hard drive

I am running Lion on an iMac 27" 4 core and I am trying to open on an external hard drive loaded with Sow leopard but the screen shows the apple icon and just sits there with no loading spinner. I also have a 13" macbook pro and have no trouble in opening the same external disk with snow leopard. The imac also does not like opening from the dvd.

If by opening you really mean booting, then most likely it can't handle the differences between the iMac and the MBP. There are differences with machine-specific builds. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2681 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186 for details.

Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

MBA supposed to be sleeping but hard drive is spinning.

Help. This has happened to me more than 5 times so I know this is not a fluke:
When I leave my office, i put my MacBook Air to sleep and put it in my briefcase. When I arrive home (an hour later) my MBA is super hot and sounds like the hard drive is spinning. It is literally overheating. It's as if it woke up in my briefcase and the hard drive starts to spin. This makes no sense as i quit all the applications and make sure the shell is actually closed.
This does not happen EVERY time but has now happened enough that i know it is not a fluke. The only way to stop the hard drive from spinning is to hold the power button down until the computer just shuts down. Has anyone else had this issue? Sometimes the computer is so hot that i actually smell "burning". Clearly if i didn't notice it for 2 or 3 hours the MBA would just "melt down".
Any ideas?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
"smell burning" isn't good obviously.
Try Resetting the System Management Controller
If that doesn't make a difference, definitely take it to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider.
Make sure all you don't have any applications running when you put the MB Air to sleep.

Hard drive stop spinning after a while

I have a Lenovo laptop, running Arch Linux + KDE. I noticed that when I am on battery, the hard drive stop spinning after a while, and it's very annoying to listen the disk starting again, and again. and again. I'm not interested in save energy with this, so how can I deactivate it?
I thought it was the laptop-mode, but I runned a systemctl status laptop-mode.service, and the service is inactive. Any idea of what could be triggering this?

man hdparm. Check out -B and -S flags. hdparm -B255 -S0 /dev/your_drive should disable any powersaving settings altogether.
You could use udev rule to run hdparm when you swithch to battery, but there are probably more elegant solutions as well.
KDE might handle this via its own power settings as well. I haven't really used KDE ever, so I'm not sure about this, but it's still possible.

Hard drive remains spinning at 5,000 rpm, and doesn't spin down by itself!

OK, I thought this was a fan problem until I installed the iStat Pro widget, and discovered that my hard drive was spinning at 5,000 rpm even when no operations were being performed. It doesn't slow down on its own, and I have to put the drive to sleep to get the rpm to return to around 1200 rpm, which seems more normal to me. However, over time (perhaps 20-30 minutes) the rpm gets back up to 5K again. But the CPU fan stays constant at around 1200 rpm. This doesn't seem normal to me. Oh, and Apple just replaced the hard drive on this five-week old iMac. Before I got the new drive, it was not noisy, and did not rev as high, and stay high. Any feedback about this situation would be helpful. I think I'm probably going to end up taking it back to the Genius Bar (sigh)...

Hello grejambri
That does sound like a problem with the Hard Drive or it's temperature sensor.
One thing you might want to do is run the Apple Hardware Test to see if it reports a problem with the HD's temp. sensor. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
Then be sure to record and report any test results to the folks that replaced your Hard Drive.

2010 MBP 13" hard drive never spins down... ever.

Hi Folks,
I have searched - and even found others with a similar problem - but the threads died out without a solution, so....
I have a pretty new 2010 MBP 13" 2.4ghz with stock 250gb HDD (I think it's a Toshiba, IIRC). I noticed that the palm rests were vibrating constantly and there was noise that never went away, so I investigated. It is the hard drive under the right palm rest, which is constantly spinning. My hands feel like I just came in from mowing the lawn!
Now, I just came from ownership of a 2008 MB which also had the Core2Duo processor and which I used about the same. No new programs or new usage to speak of. Yet that hard drive was not spinning all the time; in fact, it was usually spun down and only spun up from time to time.
I do have the preference checked for "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" on both battery and AC. I downloaded iStat and I can't see any reason for it not to spin down. i.e. light use (or even with all programs closed), cool CPU, CPU 90% un-used, very few page outs (not sure which of this would affect HD though).
Still, it NEVER spins down.
It's not clicking or making any of the "I'm a hard drive about to die" type noises. It's just a constant spinning hum.
Can anyone help me with this? It's making me dislike what should be a nice upgrade from my MB and iBook. Of course I am still under warranty, but I'm 4 hours from the Apple store, and plus I just like to try to figure things out on my own if possible. Gaining understanding of how things work is a plus too
Thank you in advance for any help

I don't know if anyone will click on this since I already marked it solved, but I will try it and then if not I'll start a new thread. Just don't want to clutter up the forum if I don't need to.
So anyway, it was stated earlier in this thread that it is not possible for the internal hard drive to spin down while the computer is turned on, and that the system pref for "put hard disk to sleep (i.e. spin down) when possible" check box could only really apply to external drives.
I'm no expert, so although I sure thought the drives in my previous Apple laptops were spun down most of the time (I'm a light user), I figured that okay, they must have just seemed like they were spinning down, and my new one must just be really noisy (even though the "noise" sounds just like my older drives did when they "spun up," but I guess they were just doing something else).
But okay, so this morning I was reading Anandtech's really great and thorough review of the new MBP's and in the maximum battery life test they did this:
+Light Web Browsing+
+Here we're simply listing to MP3s in iTunes on repeat while browsing through a series of webpages with no flash on them. Each page forwards on to the next in the series after 20 seconds.+
+The display is kept at 50% brightness, all screen savers are disabled, but *the hard drive is allowed to go to sleep if there's no disk activity*. The wireless connection is enabled and connected to a local access point less than 20 feet away. *This test represents the longest battery life you can achieve on the platform while doing minimal work. The results here are comparable to what you'd see typing a document in TextEdit or reading documents.*+
Doesn't this seem to indicate that my original understanding was correct, and that internal hard drives do have the ability to spin down under light use? It sounds like it to me. My typical usage is exactly what they are talking about above, and apparently their hard drive spins down during such use, unless I'm completely mis-understanding them. Mine also seemed to in my previous Apple laptops.
So now I'm feeling frustrated, as I hate having an issue that I can't get to the bottom of. Whether or how I can fix it or not is secondary, but I want to understand how it is supposed to work!
Thank you very much to anyone who reads through, and even more if you reply

Hard drive constantly spinning up and down when asleep

Hi all,
I have a problem with an external USB 2.0 hard drive connected to my Mac mini (late 2012).
When I put the computer to sleep the drive spins up to speed, stops, then immediately starts to spin up again. This goes on and on.
I understand that drives will periodically spin up when asleep for spotlight indexing etc. However this seems like strange behaviour, it just repeats spinning up and down in an endless cycle.
I have had the drive for a while now, as my time machine backup. Interestingly this problem only started after I rearranged my desk when I set up a second monitor. I have a USB 3.0 drive (my scratch disk) that behaves normally.
I have drives set to not sleep in preferences.
I have searched around but can only find posts about people not wanting to wait for drives to spin up when they open finder etc.
What do you think? Could the drive be on its way out? It is a Samsung spinpoint f3 1tb in an Iomega enclosure, for information...
I appreciate any help,
Cheers,
Mike

Hi BDAqua,
I should have noticed this earlier but it appears the problem is with the mini waking from sleep and thus causing the drives to wake.
When I put the mini top sleep (without the external drives powered on) it constantly wakes and sleeps. The displays dont come back on (untiul you click the mouse or hit a key etc.) but you can hear the internal drive spin up and the sleep light comes on, then goes back to blinking until it wakes again.
I have realised that it must be due to the second monitor that I have connected via the mini display port. It is connected using a mini display port to hdmi cable I bought from play.com. Something to do with the display and thunderbolt is casuing the sleep function to misbehave, I think.
Here is the console log that was created after sleeping the mini, allowing it to go through its weird sleep/wake cycle then fully waking it up again.
Hope that makes sense, it is late and I am tired!
Thanks for all your help.
Mike

Acrobat 9 Pro - Closing Causes Extended Hard Drive Activity

This issue started after a year or more of clean running and automated Adobe updates. My installation is up to date according to Adobe.
Dell Precision 4300 laptop, 4 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro, all patches etc. up to date.
The problem I am seeing only occurs when I attempt to close Acrobat. Using Windows Task Manager to obtain some of the details, the summary is as follows:
View a 200 KB single page PDF document.
Shut down Acrobat (simply closing the document and leaving an empty instance of Acrobat open doesn't cause any trouble).
Acrobat window remains open for a protracted length of time, hard drive is active constantly.
At this point, Task Manager shows acrobat.exe using 28 MB of memory and this number remains constant while the window is visible on screen.
Acrobat disappears from the screen.
Hard drive activity continues, but now Task Manager shows the 28 MB of memory ramping up. It eventually peaks and holds at 336 MB!
During this time, the I/O Read and Write associated with the Acrobat.exe process continues to climb. In this test, the final number is 1,100 MB and 700 MB respectively. Seems a little extreme for a 200 KB PDF!
The acrobat.exe process eventually disappears from Task Manager and the hard drive activity ceases. This takes a couple of minutes and happens every time I close Acrobat! I have got into the habit of simply leaving an empty window open, or killing the process via Task Manager.
If I try to do a shut down of the system immediately after closing Acrobat (while the drive is still working hard), I will get a warning that acrobat.exe isn't responding, or sometimes, that font capture isn't responding. If I wait, the process eventually completes on its own and the computer shuts down.
I have tried the 'repair installation' option in Acrobat. No joy. None of the other CS4 applications seem to have this problem... Photoshop just closes without any drama.
Ideas?

I have the same problem of HDD activity after closing any pdf file, whatever the file size.
I'm done with adobe acrobat..
This is not only the problem.. I installed the Acrobat 10 and I found that I cannot modify the toolbar by drag and drop and I cannot add the (properties) bar to the main toolbar (or even the buttons of the properties bar), So the properties bar still floating and when i resize the acrobat window or dock the window to the left or to the righ i have to move the properties bar over the screen...
In Pro9 the properties bar can be a part of the main toolbar, BUT sometimes the properties bar goes disabled and I have to close the Acrobar and reopen it to return the propeties bar enabled again. So, it seems to me adobe acrobat solved the problem in Pro10 by not allowing adding the properties bar to the the main toolbar...
Recently I solved the annoying options dialog box by renaming some plugin files!!
Why the Adobe Acrobat takes 2G of HDD space!!!..
Now I moved to Nitro PDF Professional software and it has all the Acrobat features of editing, viewing, drawing...etc and it takes less than 100M of my HDD...and this what Corel PDF Fusion do as well. The Corel PDF Fusion has the highlight text, editing text and page actions..etc but it doesn't have the drawing feature yet, maybe because it is v1.0 in 2011
tens of new PDF sofware in the market... Wake Up acrobat team...

External hard drives always spinning....is this normal?

I have a few external hard drives for my Mac Pro, a couple Weibetech 1TB drives, and a Drobo device that I just got to work as a backup. I just switched to this Mac Pro from a Macbook, and I am noticing my external drives are always spinning, and sometimes get pretty warm. Is this normal? The drobo's fan has been on all day, and I am not using it for anything. Is this normal?
Also, if the drives are not spun up, I notice that when I do certain things, my computer spins all my drives up, and wheel spins, even if what I am doing has nothing to do with that drive. I would think that the computer would wait until you tried to access the drive to spin it up.

I've seen the useless spinup of external drives accompanied by the spinning beachball too.
It usually happens when Finder or Spotlight are started/accessed/used. (for example, I press cmd+space to open spotlight, then I have to wait for my external drives to complete spinup before I can do anything... it just sits there, showing me a spinning beachball...)
I worked around this by telling Spotlight not to index my external drives, but now I can't use Spotlight for searching files on these drives...
Let's hope this is handled better in SL...
As to why they're sometimes on all day and sometimes not, no idea. Try the free application "What's Keeping Me?" to see if there is any process still attached to a file on that drive. Perhaps some process is keeping OSX from putting these drives to sleep...

Mail Won't Open (after removing external hard drive)

Hello,
I recently pulled out my external hard drive improperly (pulled out the cord before disconnecting it). Since then my Mail has not opened. When I click on the icon it just bounces and never opens.
I have tried just about every suggestion on this board for the same problem, For example:
- I have repaired disk permissions
- Moved cache files to the hard drive
- Deleted plist files
- Reinstalled mail from my startup disc
- Reinstalled Tiger altogether
None of these have worked and I was wondering if anybody else had any suggestions. Below is the crash log that appears. Thank you!

Hello, have you tried this full route?
This can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't help & you can afford to redo any Mail Rules...
Trash these files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/... MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup

Opening PDF causes spare Hard drive to spin up
