RE-POST Never got a reply... Hooked up Classic iPod and drive crashed...

Hello there!
This one will be interesting I am sure.
I have 3 internal drives in my 2.66gHz PowerMac with 4gb RAM:
–one 500gig that is my start-up with OS 10.5. whatever the latest update was
–one tera for time machine
–one 250gig which my original drive with the old OS 10.4.11
NOTE: no partitions!
i hooked up my iPod classic and had to hard start it to get it to mount. my keyboard stopped working and I had to restart. i restarted and i got the good tone, but then i got a "bad" apple and then it automatically used my old 10.4.11 drive to boot from.
i restarted from my leopard disc and went to disc utilities. the 500g drive didn't even show up in the drive selection tray. i repaired everything on the 250g and made that the startup disc but still cannot get disc utilities to "see" the 500g drive. I can't even restore to it from time machine.
I also looked at sys profiler. the drive slot basically comes up empty. I am going to move to another slot and try it. but is it pretty much fact that my drive is shot?
HELP!!!
Thank you one and all!!!

After reading that link you know as much as I do - probably more! The cause of the non-bootability is pretty obviously the commandeering of LUN 0 as explained (beautifully!) by 'baltwo' here.
The reasons why I don't say "ask WD" are the incorrectness of statements they make (and contradict) on their own site, the bits they omit, and their wrongful attribution of blame to others - these things make me feel more like saying to everyone: "don't ask WD anything about drives"!
Hey folks, I'm just the messenger!   I didn't decide to tell people to beware of WD drives; I decided I had to warn people that WD say - but not clearly and not at the point of sale - that their external drives are not suitable as boot devices. ...and I get upset when I see people treated shabbily and very, very upset when I see their data being put at risk.

  • Never got a reply on my podcast submission

    I did what I was suppose to do and never got a response to my work and submission. What's the deal?? What did I do wrong?

    You should have received an automated acknowledgement of your submission - are you sure it didn't get spam-trapped? After that it can take several weeks for a podcast to be accepted.
    You could try submitting it again - if you are told the feed has already been submitted then you will know that it is in process - and if not, then you may get started that way.

  • Hook up my Ipod and then Itunes Crashes

    Was working like a charm a week ago. Came back from a trip and hooked it up and Itunes will not open now when I try to hook up the device. I have a Shuffle that has had no issue's at all. I have reformatted this Ipod to Windows on my Pc Laptop and then tried to hook back to mac. No deal. Same thing. Crashed again. Does not even give me chance to do anything, Freezes up then closes. I saved all my stuff and then deleted Itunes as was told to by the help section on the support pages. Restarted it and the same deal still happenened. Crashed the second i hooked up my 30GB 5th gen video model. My computer will see the device which is bizzare but thats it. I am now really stumped and need some help of any kind please!!
    Thanks

    You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • TS1436 I just installed itunes 11 on my new computer.  I hooked up my ipod and created a new playlist from my library.  I wanted to burn the playlist to a cd but after I insert the CD, there is no "burn to cd"option. It's not under "file". please help!!!

    I installed Itune 11 on my new Dell Inspiron, windows 7, computer.
    I wanted to burn a cd from a new playlist I created in my library.  The "burn to CD" option does not come up anywhere?  It's not under "File" and the "tool"at the bottom of the page does not have an option for "burn to cd."
    I've made many cds in the past off of OTHER playlists so I'm not sure why it's do difficult now?  What am I doing wrong? 
    A huge issue to begin with was the songs that Icloud recognized on in my library when I first installed the Itunes 11.  I since was able to "hide"all the old songs but that didn't help my "burning to cd" issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I"m spending way too much time trying to figure this out.
    Thank you!!

    Good lord.
    I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Is "Burn Playlist to Disc" showing up in the contextual menu now?

  • I am disgusted. Have created many idvds in the past. Never had problems getting full screen. My hard drive crashed and now that I installed a new one, I am not able to get full screen on my dvd. Help! It is for my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

    Does any one know how to make idvd in full screen? I have done it many times before, but its not working now.

    Unless I don't understand what you want to do, don't you just load your competed DVD in your computer, open DVD Player.app and then type Command + F to enter full screen mode?

  • I got rid of iCloud on my iPod and iPhone and I continue to get messages that are sent to my iPod on my iPhone that I do not wantt

    I keep getting messages on my iPod that are being sent to me that I no longer want. I keep getting them I both my iPod and iPhone because they are both backed up with ICloud with the same iTunes account. I deleted the Icloud accounts on both devices but I still continue to receive updates and messages from my iPod. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    You can't possibly delete icloud.  Maybe you turn it off.
    anyways on both devices go to settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.

    Have your friend put them back on.   That's how the songs got on there in the first place.

    When I started my PC this morning I got a pop-up message stating that CC has damaged files and required downloading from www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp. Indeed, CC did NOT work and subsequent attempts to download CC never got beyond the initial installer box. The posted link also appears to be bogus I am at my wits end here. Have other users experiences this issue? Is this a clever intrusion?
