PowerPC G5, 2005 - how much does portable hard drive hold? Model MA034

I am trying to figure out how much this USB portable modem holds. I bought this computer in late 2005 - just found it, had been misplaced for obviously a number of years.
I might not even be sure if it is the portable modem and could possibly be the ethernet adapter. How does one tell the difference?

Hi Sara,
Had I been paying closer attention to the subject line, I would have seen you were merely confusing what you thought was a portable HD with what I guess was Apples answer to the Macs they made without modems. Glad that page cleared things up.
This is a good community, come back often, y'hear?

How do I find out how much of my hard drive space is used up

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Computer is running very slow. I cleared downloads and reset Safari, emptied trash, etc. How can I find out how much space I have left on my hard drive?

As you appear to have at least OS 10.7 installed, you can simply highlight your hard drive and press the SPACE bar to get this:

How much space on hard drive, how much space on hard drive

How much is a hard drive 1(303) cost?

I bought a hp laptop in 2010 and about a month ago it stopped working. When I ran a test on it, it said 303 failed (hard driver 1) . So it's useless right now.

We need to know the model of the laptop. Assuming it is a standard 2.5 inch wide 9.5 mm thick laptop SATA drive, you are looking at $45-100 US depending on the size and speed of the drive. If we knew the model we could link you to a manual with pictures showing how to do the replacement and we could link you to a good place to get a good deal on a drive. Also need to know where you live (just the Country).

How much does an iPod shuffle hold?

Earlier today I found an iPod shuffle (1GB 2nd gen silver) on 5th Avenue in New York on my way to the Apple Store. I was wondering how many songs it holds total? It works and everything too!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

How do i Check Hard Drive space in OS X Mavericks?

I don't know how to check my hard drive space, how much space I have left? On Mountain Lion i just checked it on Activity monitor. Now everything's just charts and graphs on activity monitor. Can someone please tell me how i can check ((((NUMBERS NOT CHARTS OR GRAPHS)))) how much space my hard drive has left?
Thanks

Showing the status bar does NOT always show the disk space available.
I can open a new Finder window, and if it opens without the toolbar, there's no 'disk space available' to be seen anywhere. In the status bar there's just the title of the window, repeated. In the path bar, there's the path. But nowhere is the disk space available to be seen. The "show status bar" command under the View menu has already been selected -- if you go to the View menu you will see only "Hide Status Bar".
But - if you show the toolbar (View > Show Toolbar) and then hide it again - voila - the disk space is now to be seen in the status bar at the top, though it wasn't there before you toggled the toolbar view.
This is a Mavericks design bug, which - maybe - will get fixed, somewhere along the line.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

You were told wrong. Apple considers the hard drive and RAM to be user-replaceable parts. If they didn't, they wouldn't provide instructions for changing them yourself.
What type of HDD would you reccomend me purchasing? Looking to get something 750GB+
I favor Seagate. Others have different preferences. Avoid so-called "green" drives.

Does anyone know how to format a Toshiba 1.5 TB canvio portable hard drive for macOS10

Hi
I have just bought a Toshiba 1.5TB Canvio portable hard drive. It needs sto be formatted for Mac (OS10.5). I was told to go to disk utility, format using FAT32.
In disk utility - erase there is an option MS_DOS(FAT). Is this what I use?
Thanks

How can I reformat my portable hard drive?

I have a Seagate 1TB portable hard drive, connected by USB to my MacBook Pro.
I use it as my Time Machine.
I have been getting error messages saying the drive is not working.
I have tried to repair it via Disk Utility but get this message:
Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
1. How can I repair it and protect the files I have on it?
2. Alternatively, how can I wipe it and start again as a new Time Machine?
Thank you

In Disk Utility select that external drive then click the Partition tab. Then select One partition from the Partition Layout drop down and make sure it is set to a GUID partition table, that is under the Options button, and the format is set to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then Click the Apply Button. If the drive is still good it will be partitions and formatted and then can be used for a TM backup drive.
But I suspect either the drive is failing or the electronics in the drive enclosure are failing. In the first case there isn't much you can do about a failing hard drive except replace it. On the second part if the enclosure electronics are failing then you can take the physical hard drive out that enclosure and connect it to your mac with a SATA to USB adapter or put it in another enclosure.
Then you have the simple fact the Apple Mac notebook computers always seem to have a problem with these USB Bus powered external hard drives. It seems the USB port on Mac notebook don't put out enough power on the USB port to fully power up these type of drives. They do some times but not always. One work around for that is to use a Y USB cable that connect to 2 USB ports at the same time to supply more power to the drive.

HT1338 how much does it cost to get the latest version of safari

how much does it cost to get latest version of safari

What MichelPM suggested is the SAFEST solution. Firefox is a better browser than Safari, and you will not be faced with any potentially crippling consequences of a full OS update.
You will presumably have to update your system at some point, and you should prepare for that by maintaining a full, up-to-date backup of your current main system on an external hard drive. You can use SuperDuper ($25) or Carbon Copy Cloner (the legacy version, 3.5.7) to clone your current system to an external drive. This drive will be bootable and will provide you will a safety net if you decide to install Yosemite at some point.

How can I get iTunes to find dislocated files on my portable hard drive?

I have had to move my music files onto a portable hard drive to save space but now when I plug my portable hard drive in and try to play tunes the exclamation mark comes up. iTunes can identify individual mp3's when I want to play them, through a manual file search, but is it possible for iTunes to find all the music files at once either when I ask it to or even better identify them automatically for me?

It looks like too many changes already had taken place in the 'iTunes Library' file, to start from the original situation.
You can of course restore all the links manually, but you're probably still busy doing that next week.
Try to rebuild the library, using the instructions in this article:
How to recreate your iTunes Library
You could loose some information.
BTW. If your library mainly contains MP3's and AAC's and Apple Lossless, you won't loose any track related information (artwork, name, artist, album etc.)
That information is stored inside the song file.
Other information is stored inside the library files.
More info in: What are the iTunes library files?
You already made changes. Some links probably point to the external disk and some point to the internal. So I'm not sure re-creating the library will give satisfactory results. I hope it does of course.
If it's all a mess now, you could consider to start from scratch.
By doing this, you will loose all playlists, ratings, podcast subscriptions etc. but not track related info as mentioned above.
To do this, trash the 'iTunes Library' file and run iTunes. you will start with an empty library. Drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' folder on it.
All music will be added to the library.
Consider this as a last resort. Try re-creating first.

My harddrive failed, how much does Apple charge to replace it?

Hi,
My hard drive failed today:( Already called AppleCare and he diagnosed the problem but I don't have AppleCare so I'll have to pay for it.
How much does it cost to have Apple replace it? It's a 320GB HD on my 13" MacBook Pro.

I was quoted $600 a few years ago to replace a 350GB with a 500GB and it was a poor Seagate issue at 5,400 RPM.
So it did it myself for $300 and got a higher quality 500GB Hitachi drive (before WD bought them) at 7,200 RPM, so my old machine is still fast.
I recommend a 7,200 RPM 500 or 750GB drive, even a 1TB will future proof you well. The added speed gives added performance for a slight drop in battery life perhaps.
A SSD in 480GB size is about $1200-$1500 or so, even $1800 for the new screamers, that's just for the drive, not including Apple's mark up.. Not worth it IMO.
Throw some more RAM in it while you got the opportunity I think you machine can handle 8GB , use the free MacTracker to find out,, you might be able to stick more in there than Apple says.
Apple quoted me $435 plus tax to upgrade my 4GB to 8GB,( it's only $200 something if you do it with a new machine as they keep the new 4GB RAM.) The same 8GB RAM can be had at Crucial.com for $70.
So it certainly pays to do it yourself, Apple clearly doesn't want your business.
Doing it yourself doesn't void your AppleCare or warranty as long as you don't break anything.
You have 10.7, so your machine had 10.6 before, you need to format the drive HFS+ with a GUID then install 10.6, then to 10.6.8, then AppStore option click on Purchases and install Lion again, then all your third party programs from fresh sources and files manually from backup. (no migration assistant if you can help it) In that order for best performance.
If you have a factory Lion Mac or not 10.6 disks, then you need a copy of yours or anothers Recovery Partition using this on 1GB+ USB formatted GUID OS X extended journaled, hold option boot from it to install Lion. You will need your Apple ID to download Lion I think.

Portable hard drive suggestions on how to set it up.

Hey guys! I have a question and I'm looking for some advice. I got a portable hard drive for Christmas and since I'm not sure how to set it up I was wondering if I can get some help from you guys on how to set it up according to my needs.
The portable hard drive is 320GB and what I want to do is set it up for time machine to back up my MacBook, and also be able to read and write on the portable hard drive using a PC, Mac, and my PS3.
I'm assuming I would need to format it into Fat32 so my macbook can write to the hard drive? Also from my understanding PS3's can only detect fat32? So would you guys recommend me formatting it into fat32 and how would I go about doing that? Plus do you guys have any other suggestions? I wish I could use the portable hard drive for boot camp but maybe I'll just transfer my iTunes library on the hard drive and sacrifice my MacBooks HD space for boot camp? Thanks! And happy new years

No idea about PS3.
TM needs a Mac OS extended Journaled format which cannot be seen by Win.
I would leave a Disc only to TM which is a complicated but serious easy and affordable backup.
Fat 32 could be OK to transfer files between Mac And Win systems but you will need to copy files manually to it. More.. Fat system is not so safe and stable as MacOS.
Teoretically you could partition your drive with Disc Utility into 2 Discs and use one for TM and the other for rest. I am not 100% sure if you can do it (I mean use TM on one of the Partition Formatted as MAC OS Jour) but you can try. As I wrote I would not do it.
