Size limit for internal drives?

I have a G4 Silverdoor with dual 1.25 GB processors. Currently, it has three internal drives, 120 GB each. Is there a size limit to the fourth drive? I was thinking about getting a 400 or 500 GB internal drive.

Is this your system? Mac Upgrades
They say:
Internal Hard Drive Upgrades
The PowerMac G4 Quicksilver can can take internal IDE hard drives of sizes up to 120GB. Up to two extra drives can be added alongside your existing hard drive - a straight replacement is obviously possible as well.
If you want to use a larger hard drive you will need to install a high-spec IDE controller into a PCI socket. See the expansion cards section at the end of this page for details on available cards.
It is also possible to use the new SATA drives in this machine, with the purchase of a SATA controller card.
G4 AGP Mac OS X (10.4.8) RAM: 1.12 GB; ATI 9800.

Is there a size limit to internal drive?

For some reason I remember there being a size limit for internal drives on the Power Mac, dual 2.0 GHz G5. I have one 250 Gig drive installed, and want to add another 500 gig drive. Will the drive exceed the size limit?
If the size is ok, does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, reasonably fast 500 gig drive?
Thanks.

I'm so glad you asked about this. I just bought a G5/1.6 GHz that has an 80GB and I wanted to install a 500 GB second drive but the manual did say that the maximum total between the two drives couldn't be more than a total of 500 GB between the two drives.
Do we know people that have done/are doing this? I use my G5 for audio recording and that's why I wanted a large second drive and I was thinking that since I'd already had the 80 GB drive already in the G5 I'd have to put nothing larger than a 400 GB in the second drive slot so I wouldn't go over that 500 GB limit I read about in the manual.
Excellent news if this really is the case that there's no limit to the size of the additional hard disk.
Since we're on this topic, (I realize this is probably covered elsewhere), but does this same theory apply regarding the 4 GB memory limit that Apple states in the owners manual for the G5 1.6 GHz model?
It's got four DIMM slots for a maximum of 4GB using four 1 GB DIMMS.
Is it possible to use four 2 GB DIMMS and get 8 GB of memory running in these earliest G5's?
The other two other models of the G5 that were released with the 1.6 Ghz were the 1.8 GHz and the Dual 2.0 GHz G5's and they have eight DIMM slots and are capable of using 8 GB.
So I was wondering if this too was due to Apple not having access to 2 GB DIMM memory modules back in those days (2003) that would have allowed the G5/1.6GHz models to run with 8 GB RAM installed in four slots?
Thanks guys, really glad I found this post before I bought a smaller hard disk because of what I read in the manual.
Best,
John

Is there a size limit for hard drive boot partition?

I have been using Drive Genius to adjust the size of my boot partition larger. But it doesn't seem to allow for much increase, even though I deleted the second partition and tried to apply the disk space to DH1: (boot - there is a single partition on the hard drive now.)
It recognizes only 59.53gb and the drive is I think around 130gb. Anything beyond 59.53 is unusable since I deleted that second partition though I could probably get it back with a second partition.
Is this a Tiger issue or a Mac issue? It resized it bigger somewhat, so it seems to be something about the particular size. I want a really big space for my applications and so on.
Thanks. Didn't know where to post this question.

You don't want to make a disc image. You want to clone to an external drive:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Once you finish the clone open Startup Disk and set the clone as your startup volume, then click on the Restart button. You should now boot from the clone. You can then repartition the internal hard drive the way you want, then clone the external drive to the internal one.

Is there a hard drive size limit for G5 imacs?

I recently added a 1.5 TB firewire drive to my father's iMac. Since then the system has been hanging frequently and I have not been able to restart the machine remotely using either Timbuktu or ssh sudo reboot.
Is this drive too big for leopard to handle on the G5?

HT4863 How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

Size limit for flar file with Sol 10 WANBOOT

There seems to be some kind of a size limit for flash archive files used by wanboot. When I try to wanboot jumpstart, I get the following:
Processing profile
- Opening Flash archive
ERROR: HTTP server returned an invalid archive file size: <-1256985017> bytes
ERROR: Invalid HTTP headers were returned from the server
ERROR: Flash installation failed
Solaris installation program exited.
The flash archive is about 3GB. I'm doing the WANBOOT using the "boot cdrom" work-around, because the V100 I'm jumpstarting doesn't support the newer OBP parameters.
If create a new smaller flash archive like so:
mv sol10.flar sol10.flar.old
dd if=sol10.flar.old of=sol10.flar bs=1024K count=1024
cutting the flar down to 1GB. Then I do the wanboot. I don't get the error, and the jumpstart proceeds. Of course it would eventually have a problem when the cpio file reached premature end.
So is there a prescribed limit to flars with WANBOOT. I'm assuming it's 2GB, but if so, why?
No I haven't tried creating a compressed flar: that's next.
Thanks,

Any help would be much appreciated.hi. i spent a long time on this issue...and got it working reliably for more than 10 gb flars.
there are two issues- 1) apache must be 64 bit capable, and 2) you need the latest wanboot miniroot, for solaris 9 and one for solaris 10. i worked for a different division of a major car company based in stuttgart (take a guess) than i do now, and we eventually received the support we needed from sun, through the early release program. i do not know any details about if, how, or when those miniroots are otherwise available. at some point, i can only assume they will be generally available to all, if not already.
if someone knows more about this availability issue, i would also be interested in this issue.
thanks, dls

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

Is there a size limit for uploading files?

is there a size limit for uploading files?

You have max 20GB storage.
Upload anything you want up to that limit - be it one file or many.
The only limit after that is the speed of your internet connection since extremely large files can take hours to upload.

Maximum time/size limit for Beehive Conference recording

Hi, What is the maximum time/size limit for Beehive Conference recording?
Thanks
Chinni

Looks like I found the probable location of this size limit. Looking at the web.config file in the
ExchServer\ClientAccess\Sync folder there is an entry for "MaxDocumentDataSize". THe value is currently set at 10240000:
<add key="MaxDocumentDataSize" vaulue ="10240000">
So this is 9.75 MB or there about, which sounds about right. I will try increasing this limit at some point to verify.
Can anyone confirm this?

Size limit for files uploaded to htmldb_application_files

Hi,
Is there any size limit for files which are to be uploaded to htmldb_application_files (and then stored as BLOB in db)?
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
the only limitation is that the BLOB data type is 4GB
large.
So you can store max. 4 GB data in BLOB.Did you mean BFILE? Depending on the version, size limit is between 8TB and 128TB, as in the 10g2 documentation:

Thanks a lot.

The only way to increase the fonts on your desktop would be system wide by going down a notch on the resolution. Some people won't do it because it increases the pixel size so the fonts won't be quite as sharp; I decided I'd rather have that than having to squint continuously. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Scaled > this will give you all resolution options available. No harm in trying - just check the default (top) choice again if you don't like any of the others.
It's a b*&^ch getting old . I still use the screen zoom instead of decreasing resolution, but maybe soon ...
