  • Can I use 'Macintosh HD' folder time machine creates like any other hard drive folder?

    Very simply, is it possible, after using Time Machine to back up my Laptop, to use the 'Macintosh HD' Folder it creates like I would any other hard drive by selecting and extracting specific folders and backed up items as I see fit instead of going in to the Time Machine software and asking it to restore the drive to one of its 'backups' -essentially governing what exactly goes back in to my freshly cleared out laptop's internal hard drive? Will I run in to any problems? I am asking as I have picked up a software bug that I need to wipe off laptop hdd that would still be in the backups I have done and go back on to the laptop if I just asked Time Machine to restore.

  • Can't copy folder to hard drive. Why?

    I can't copy a folder from an external drive to the hard drive!
    A message comes up: "The operation can't be completed because an item with the
    name  ".DS_Store" already exists."
    What does this mean and what do I have to in order to be able copy the folder?
    Have been using Macs for many years and have never come across this issue before.
    Thanks,
    iHope

    Looks like Wikipedia discusses this file:
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store
    Perhaps you are logged in as a regular user and some permissions on that file are preventing you from over writing it.  Maybe a different account has full permissions over the existing .DS_Store file.
    You could try creating a new Top level Folder and copy into this new folder.
    Or you could log into an Administrator account and using the Terminal App delete the .DS_Store file at the comand prompt.
    You could also try deleting the .DS_Store file from the Folder on the external drive,
       using the Terminal App would be the easiest
        to delete a file that is invisible to the Finder App.
    example:
      prompt> cd /Volumes/System/Drop/
      prompt> ls -al .DS_Store
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 user  wheel  12292 Dec 27 16:12 .DS_Store
      prompt> rm .DS_Store

  • How do I restore a folder after hard drive replacement?

    At the end of November, I bought Panther, primarily for the Time Machine application. I installed the OS and set up Time Machine to back up my Users folder (not the entire hard drive) to an external hard drive. Last week, my internal hard disk crashed, and was replaced under the AppleCare warranty.
    How do I restore my Users folder to the new hard drive? I have told Time Machine to use the external hard drive, and all the folders are on that external hard drive, but when I go into Time Machine the application doesn't recognize that anything has been backed up. On the right edge of the window, the bars don't have date labels when I scroll over them.
    Online Mac help says that it is possible to restore an entire hard drive, by restarting with the disk utilities DVD. However, I don't think that would work for me, since I backed up only the Users file, not the entire internal drive.

    You can not easily change the "short name" of an Account -- the name which is used for the Home folder among other things.
    You CAN create a new account with the naming your want (System Preferences / Accounts) but if you are having file/folder permissions problems they may still remain due to the fact that the system actually knows accounts by numeric IDs that are made visible as the "short name".
    This can be a little tricky to sort out.
    One thing you might want to try is using Migration Assistant and pointing it at your Time Machine drive as source. Tell it you just want the Account (no applications or settings). It may be able to create a new account (bearing the original name) and bring your files over for you correctly. You will have to set account preferences yourself, and since you didn't save system files on your Time Machine, you will have to re-install applications from the original application install sources.

  • Premier Pro Project: Created on one External Hard Drive, Transferred to Different External Hard Drive, Project Will Not Open

    Here is my problem listed in simple steps:
    I created a project in Premier a couple years ago on a G-Raid mini external hard drive.
    I backed up my project folder on a LaCie external hard drive. 
    The G-Raid mini hard drive died.
    I cannot open my project from the LaCie drive.
    When I attempt to open my project, I get 2 error messages:
    First:  "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
    I say "Yes"
    Second: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I say "OK", and that's the end.
    My understanding is that the problem has to do with the fact that my original scratch disks were created on the G-Raid mini hard drive, and that Premier will not open my project because the code for my .prproj file directs Premier to a hard drive that is not connected.  I have tried to edit the code in TextEdit, replacing the name of the old hard drive with the new one where the code reads:
    <project.settings.lastknowngoodprojectpath>
    This did not work.  I also tried changing the name of my new hard drive to match what the "lastknowngoodprojectpath" reads as in the code, but that did not work either.  I have searched high and low on the internet for someone who approaches the types of error messages I receive from the perspective of trying to open the project from a different hard drive, but I cannot find anyone who is specifically giving advice about this.  Any suggestions?

    I doubt that the error concerning the sequence preview preset file or codec has anything to do with the scratch disc location.
    Here are two posts specific to the second error message:

  • Music Library keeps defaulting to iTunes folder on Hard Drive

    I have gone into advanced preferences and changed my iTunes folder to a folder on an external hard drive connected to my Airport. It works fine until there is n interruption in the connection. Then, the iTunes folder always defaults back to the original iTunes folder under Music on the hard drive. Because I have a very large music collection, it takes a good ten minutes to change back to the external folder. Also, because of the size of my collection, storing he music on my Mac is not an option.
    This happens frequently because my airport connection frequently disconnects for a couple seconds and, then, automatically reconnects.
    I have even attempted to trash the original iTunes folder but the computer just creates a new empty one to default to.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I have my iTunes Music Library on an external hard drive connected to of the three Macs on my home LAN. If the machine with external HD is not on and I launch iTunes on one of the other machines, the folder location reverts to the default location as you described. When I boot the host machine and then reestablish all the LAN connections, I simply relaunch iTunes on the other machines and they all happily find the correct Music Folder locations. A relaunch of iTunes is all that is required.
    If you are playing iTunes and a relaunch is not possible, you need to look strengthening the Airport signal to avoid an interruption. I don't use any wireless setup so I'm not familiar with that procedure.

  • TS1989 My iMac G5 has flashing question mark folder, no hard drive, no DVD-drive, no target drive - help?

    A friend has 'kindly' decided to upgrade my father in law's iMac G5 and apparently found that it ceased to work following an aborted process. I have no idea what he's done but there was a Leopard DVD in the optical drive. The iMac boots to the smiley face folder but scrolls through 2 black screens and one grey screen first. A question mark appears at first then it changes to the smiley face folder with the question mark appearing occasionally.
    I cannot get the iMac to see either a hard drive or the DVD drive. No start up disc at all. I have tried starting up in target mode and the target mode sign doesn't appear on the screen nor does the hard drive show on the other mac.
    Starting up holding down either 'C', 'X' or 'R' doesn't produce any results. Starting up with 'alt' pressed down produces a screen with a padlock image followed by a white slot to write a password in and a greyish button with an arrow. None of the passwords associated with the machine have got us past this screen.
    I can also get a command line on screen by holding down the startup button, hearing a loud beeeeep (firmware update signal?) keep holding down and a white screen with very small text invites me either to write 'mac-boot' or 'shut-down'. Both commands require a password to be effective and so do not work.
    Following startup troubleshooting advice has allowed me to identify that there is both a start up button inside and an SMU  reset button. Three of the four led's come on fine and there are no problems with the starter button on the back panel.
    I'm loath to change the hard drive at this point as I'm not sure if the HD is duff or something is wrong with the hardware and that another HD would be damaged.
    Stumped.

    I'll copy what BD wrote:
    Is it a USB KB or flakey Wifi?
    < be sure to use a usb keyboard >
    Your suggestion of removing the PRAM Battery and all power & peripherals was great.
    < I didn't think of disconnecting the peripherals. Do it. >
    I think also, removing all RAM, Iif possible), then trying to start it a few times, might do it to.
    Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
    It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option boot will show a lock, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.
    Force Removing Password Protection
    1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
    2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).

  • What do I need to create a wireless external hard drive?

    Here's the situation. Hubs and I have just combined households. Between us we have a Macbook Pro laptop (10.5.8. mine), an HP laptop (his), a westell router from century link and 3 external firewire/usb hardrves, one of which serves as my time capsule. We also have a wireless printer.
    One of the external harddrives has my tv shows and movies, downloaded from itunes, stored temporarily since my mac is out of space. We'd like to be able to access our external harddrives wirelessly, so that I can move my itunes library and media files to one and access them wirelessly, have my time capsule hooked up permenantly, and so he could access his moies/shows/music on his external hard drive wirelessly.
    What do I need to create a wireless hookup for my external hard drives that is compatible with macs and pcs, and is relatively easy to do (neither of us are particularly tech savvy, but with the right instructions we can do okay)

    That router you have is really not a router. It is a DSL modem that does have rudimentary router with one port.
    What you really need to do is set the westel into Bridged Ethernet mode, that disables the router function in it, and get yourself a good router that has a USB port to connect a USB drive or printer to it. there may be models that have more then one USB port so you could connect multiple devices to the router.
    It isn't hard making these changes but i won't go into it here. For that go to DSLReports.com and look up your ISP and then the FAQs for your ISP. More then likely someone has posted detailed instruction on how to do what I described above for your model Westel modem and your ISP.
    Or follow Csound1's link to a wireless NAS (Network Attached Storage).
    Good Luck.

  • Moving iTunes music folder from hard drive to external drive

    I see a couple of topics related to iTunes folder locations and losing track of where the file are. What's the right way to migrate from having the iTunes music files on my hard drive (C:) to using an external drive...without having to re-map everything manually? I'm running out of space on the C: drive!

    There's actually hundreds of those topics. It gets asked daily.
    Did you still have a specific question after reading several of them?

  • MacBook won't startup - question mark in folder - is Hard Drive the problem

    My 10 month old MacBook 2.0 gHz running 10.4.9 will not start-up. After 9 days of running with just putting it to sleep (once a log-out, log-in); I came down after breakfast to see the screen-saver -- but nothing else. OK I usually do a restart every 1-4 days, so now's the time.
    That's when I hear a slight click-tack, click-tack and after 20-30 seconds see the folder with the Question Mark.
    I've tried starting with control-command keys held down; tried resetting the PRAM and even resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)-- but nothing works--
    I have lost only about 48 hours of information, as I have a backup from late 9 April 2007 (with 17 years of information...)-- and I am using SuperDuper! to transfer that to my G3-733 -- to one of the 2 hard drives I have on that Mac.
    BUT WHAT about the data I've lost-- 2 days is not the end of the world, but the apple service store near me says it will take 10-15 days to get my MacBook serviced...
    I PLAN TO PURCHASE DISKWARRIOR 4 in a few hours and try that. BUT since Disk Utility cannot see the hard drive (likely it has 'crashed', right? There is essentially nothing to see, right?-- I don't know how my $100 towards DiskWarrior is going to help or??
    ANY SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.
    Thanks and regards,
    Steve Schulte on 12 April 2007

    Well thank you again and I've clicked on SOLVED here-- You really have made my day (after I thought it had been ruined!) Writing to you from Belgium, it's nearly 6pm and the MacBook goes to the shop tomorrow.
    Fortunately with SuperDuper! I have essentially lost nothing other than 2 days of out-going eMails and some other reports-- and now incremental backups will be a DAILY event!
    One last idea: Is there any way to possibly activate the hard drive? I mean it stopped working while just sitting there-- it's not like I dropped it or anything-- just sitting on the coolpad! If I could just get it to spin I could (maybe) copy the data-- the computer works fine otherwise-- I've booted from an external HD with 99% of the files saved (as previously mentioned)-- just too bad...
    OK "Live and Learn, or at least you live..."
    Again-- super help-- thanks!

  • Create a new bootable hard drive with XP - without CD reader

    All,
       Since couple of years my Satellite CD reader is dead. Most probably an hardware failure, the CDs are spinning but that's all ... unbale to read them at all.
        As the PC is getting slower and slower, I decided to refomat and re_image it.
        As I can't use the CD reader, I have to create the bootable hard drive (with the XP-Home edition provided when I bought the laptop)  using another machine (A DELL or a Toshiba Portege I have also at home).
        For that I remove the hard drive fro, the satellite and put it in the other machine, and then reinstall windows ont it.
        Everything went fine,  untilI plug back the satellite hard drive to its original host (Satellite machine.
        It refuse to boot and stop just after loading the MUP.Sys drivers  (classique as the hardware is diffrent)
       My questions are :
       1. Any way I can create a proper bootable drive for Satellite 5105-S501 in such conditions (any place I can download  an image for it)
       2. I can' enter the BIOS (ESC key do not let me in, F1 and F12 same ...). Any way to force to enter in the BIOS
           ESC key just show me the message : Type F1 for default :_°
    Thanks

    Malcolm:
    Thanks so much for replying to my question! I am new to MAC and have Tiger and Windows XP on separate drives. I will be removing the drive with Tiger and putting in a new drive to load Leopard and I wondered how that would effect accessing Windows XP since the Windows drive will remain in the system. Is there anything I need to do with bootcamp, since Windows was loaded using the Beta version of bootcamp, and bootcamp icon currently shows in the Windows XP taskbar. Tiger was pre-loaded when the computer was purchased. In fact I had to backdate the beta bootcamp version in order to get it to work. I hope this is not asking too much, but I wondered if there would any problem with Windows after the Leopard load.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

  • Organizing with the photo library folder on hard drive

    I am a teacher, and I was told that I should NOT do any organizing within the actual iphoto library folder on the hard drive b/c this could corrupt my picture files. I do understand how to use iphoto itself as a photo organizer, but it is frustrating when trying to locate a picture for use in a Word document. Therefore, it made sense to me to organize the folder in the hard drive into the same categories as in my iphoto library. Is there an official ruling from Apple on this? Is this not a recommended practice? How in the world can anyone find the photo they need when you can't drag directly from the iphoto library? Thanks for any help you can give me!!

    I do understand how to use iphoto itself as a photo organizer, but it is frustrating when trying to locate a picture for use in a Word document.<<<</div>
    If your photos are properly organized in folders and albums, locating a picture is a snap. In fact, that's precisely where iPhoto shines. I honestly don't understand your difficulty.
    Therefore, it made sense to me to organize the folder in the hard drive into the same categories as in my iphoto library. Is there an official ruling from Apple on this?<<<</div>
    Using the finder to muck around in the library is an invitation to bleeding ulcers. This forum has posts daily from users asking for help in undoing the damage they've done to the library. In both the iPhoto "Help" screens and in the Technical Articles available at this site you'll find the words: "If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
    How in the world can anyone find the photo they need when you can't drag directly from the iphoto library?<<<</div>
    Well, let's say that I want a photo of Uncle Joe that was taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2004. I open iPhoto and open the 2004 folder. From inside "2004," I open the Thanksgiving album and look for Uncle Joe. When I find a pic that I like, I drag it to the desktop (or wherever else I want it) and a copy is made for me lickity split.

  • All Applications Appear Outside Applications Folder On Hard Drive!!!!!!!!

    Normally when you open the Hard Drive you should see the Applications Folder together with several other items.
    I have just noticed that ALL my applications are OUTSIDE the Applications Folder and the folder has no disclosure triangle.
    I cannot make the apps go back into their folder out of sight.
    If I double click the folder all the apps appear normally.
    Everything seems to work normally except the apps are always visible in the HD folder.
    Any ideas on what has happened and how I can make them appear as they used to?
    I don't know whether it has been like this for a while and I have only just noticed it?
    Ian.
    PS. I have noticed that the folder was Modified an hour ago.

    Hi again Ian,
    The HD window was not fully open and the left hand edge (containing the disclosure triangles) was covered.
    By moving the blue lozenge (at the bottom) to the left, all was revealed
    LOL!
    Have a for having the guts to come back and confess.
    Guess who's face is redder than usual!
    Not surprised…
    Still, red faces all round really, we missed it
