3rd gen iPod will not complete the RESTORE process with new Hard Drive

I have an 3rd gen iPod and I have replaced the hard drive with a newer MK2006GAL. The drive formats fine with a USB cable, formating Mac OS Extended Journaled. It will not complete a "restore" when connected via FireWire in iTunes or with any ipod updater utility. this happens on any mac (we have several). It will not even see the iPod updater when connected via USB and it says MUST CONNECT WITH A FIREWIRE CABLE. It will not format with Disk Utility when connected with the Apple FireWire cable only USB. This is the second new hard drive I have tried. I thought the first "replacement drive" was bad. Turns out it must be something else. Does this sound like a bad battery or motherboard or bad FireWire cable to you? The connectors look fine (under magnification). other problems, while this iPod will not Restore properly, it also will not turn off.
Would like to know if anyone else has seen this trouble.
thanks.

It still will not format. Does anyone know what a 1429 error is?

Display bug with new catalyst driver & xorg

Hello everyone,
I have just updated catalyst (fglrx) from fglrx 8.40.4 to catalyst 7.11-1 and Xorg server from 1.2.0-5 to 1.4-5. Indeed I have an ATi Radeon Xpress 1100 (RS485) on my laptop.
Everything is well except...this bad bug :
almost each time a window is created (xterm, dialog box which pops up, firefox ...; there are maybe other trigger events) a strange blurred square appears at the bottom right corner of my screen, and my cursor has a strange trail, as if a piece of widget was attached to it. The cursor trail disappears quickly, but not the square. I have to switch in console mode and to go back to X to make it clear. It is composed of pixels of different colors.
Does someone have the same problem ?
Moreover the driver gl (or gl2) does no more work with mplayer, I have to use the x11 one, but glxgears is ok and I have, according to glxinfo, direct rendering enabled.

There are many problems with the latest AMD xorg driver. To fix the display corruption, add
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
To your fglrx device section in xorg.conf
Also, try disabling AIGLX - it's not working well and is known to cause some problems.
In xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model

Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model
I have an Xserve rack mount model Xserve 2.26 Quad Core (EMC# 2279) with an Apple RAID card, 24GB RAM (running 10.9 Server software)
Purchased two Western Digital 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64MB Cache Black WD1003FZEX drives
It came with three 160GB SATA drives. I'm leaving one of the original 160GB drives for the OS, but I want to replace the 2 other drives and set it up with RAID 1 (mirrored). I bought 2 brand new Western Digital 1TB SATA drives and formatted them on another Mac through Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting. I then placed the new drives in the Xserve and booted it up. After I login it immediately gives me 2 error windows saying...
"Apple RAID Card
The Apple RAID Card installed in your system requires your attention."
It has two buttons underneath this message allowing me to either select 'Ignore' or 'Open RAID Utility'
I've tried to RAID the drives the Disk Utility and through the RAID Utility with no success.
I have both drives mounted on the desktop, as separate drives, but I really need to set these up as a RAID 1.
I've been reading other forums, where others have been able to get this to work by using a jumper on certain pins (5 & 6)of the drive to back down the transfer rate to 1.5 Gb per second. I tried that and it didn't work for me. Maybe I used the wrong pins -- I just don't know. I'm also wondering if there is some Apple firmware that is required on these drives? I'm asking for help from anyone who has gone through this same issue. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE -- I had an issue with the RAID card battery, it was dead and I have since replaced it. But I am still unable to setup the RAID 1 drive configuration. Does anyone know if it has something to do with the faster transfer rates on these new drives. Maybe they need to be clocked down with certain jumper settings on these Western Digital drives? Or am I fighting a losing battle because these drives don't have Apple firmware? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Problems with new catalyst

I Have a problem with newer catalyst version 4.7 and 4.8..sometimes the screen goes totally black,it's like the montitor goes into sleep mode or screensaver.
This can happen at startup or after while the only thing i can do is to restart the computer by turning it off(or reset).
With cat 4.6 and the drivers before everything works fine.
I tried fastwrites on/off(no good)
Disable Vpu recover(no good)
Raise agp voltage to 1.6V(no good)
I also tried asus own driver but the same thing happens.
However i came to think of if there is anything i should change in power managment in bios because the comp won't wake up from sleep mode when pushing on the keyboard or moving the mouse(this is with cat 4.6 wich works great otherwise)
I hope someone have an answer to my mysterious problem

I have never got my 8x AGP to work, its always hard locks when I use it...dunno why I don't really care. When I upgrade to a pure 8x AGP card i might if it still happens. Actually if it continues to happen there is a good chance I will get rid of this board and get the nforce probable. But at any rate, setting AGP to 4x has always fixed every video card problem I have had since putting this computer together. So try that I suspect it will fix your problem as well.
Also note that we have very similar setup's so try it and let us know if that works out for you.

Will Time Machine with Leopard Sync With New Hard Drive and Snow Leopard?

My computer is a 20" iMac that I bought in late 2008. The hard drive had trouble so Apple repaired with disk utility. Week later, more trouble so they did full hard drive erase. Data was backed up on Time Machine, 500GB also bought in 2008. After full hard drive erase, and reinstall of basic software, upon reboot, computer would power on then immediately off. It doesn't get past white screen. They advised a new hard drive install is needed.
A computer friend can install a hard drive just fine for me. However, I do not have the Leopard install disc. He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared. I'm afraid because my Time Machine last backup was with Leopard, not snow Leopard. I do not have my application discs with me, they are in storage in another state. Thus, if upon adding replacing hard drive and installing Snow Leopard my computer won't be able to sync FILES and APPLICATIONS from Time Machine because its on Leopard I will have a problem.
How can I either 1)Get a Leopard install disc and do that with the new hard drive install OR 2)make sure that a Snow Leopard install with new hard drive won't prevent my Time Machine from being able to install the saved FILES and APPLICATIONS if I don't have original APPLICATION (ie Aperture, Photoshop) with me? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That Mac should have come with Leopard. If so, call AppleCare. They'll send you replacement discs for a nominal fee.
Once this is sorted out, make a 8-10 GB partition on an external HD or your internal HD, and use the Restore tab of Disk Utility to copy the Install disc to that partition. Then you can boot and run from it instead of the physical disc. It will boot and run much faster, too.
He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared.
If he does, and doesn't provide a retail Snow Leopard disc, you must buy one ($29). It's a violation of the license to share software, and you'll need a SL disc to do things like restore a Snow Leopard backup, or the Snow Leopard Apple apps, or repair the internal HD.
Your best bet is to stay with Leopard, at least until you have access to your 3rd-party software discs.
What you can do, however, is borrow his Snow Leopard Install disc (assuming it's a white Retail disc, not a gray one that came with his Mac), and use it to do a full system restore from your backups. That's not a violation of the license, since you don't install or use OSX from that disc; you just use the Installer utility on it to restore the Leopard OSX and all your data from your backups.

Wanting to upgrade Sawtooth 400 with new hard drive and more memory

Have been reading a lot of posts today on the above upgrades. Am quickly getting confused on all of the info, especially on the hard drive upgrades...
Purchased my Sawtooth back in Dec. 2006 on eBay. Should have been using it all of this time, but my budget wouldn't allow me to put more memory (it's got 256MB now) and a new hard drive in it. Tired of seeing it in the way just sitting there!
The G4 has OS X 10.3 on it. Would like to upgrade to Tiger. Is there a firmware update that needs to be done before upgrading to Tiger? I know that 256MB of memory really isn't enough for Tiger. I thought about getting at least a 512MB stick to make the total memory 768MB (wish I could afford to max the memory). Others have said that OWC and Crucial have good quality memory.
The System Profile shows that it has 10 GB and 60GB hard drives. Imagine the 10GB one is the original. The 60GB was probably added on later. Don't know how old the 60GB is. That's one reason I'd like to replace it to at least a 120GB drive, so I can start fresh without worrying about the 60GB dying. (Do understand that any drive can die; new or old...) Have read about the 128GB size limit on my G4. Don't think I'd use most of the 120GB, so I'd like to stay with that size. Budget won't allow to install a PCI card to allow larger drives anyway. Should I remove the 10GB one as I don't think I'd be using it at all?
I installed a Seagate 120GB Barracuda Ultra ATA/100, 7200RPM, 8MB Cache, 3.5" drive (new, got it on eBay for $40!) in my iMac G3 400. Would like to find the same kind of drive for the G4, if it would work. If the same drive would work in the G4, does anyone know where I could purchase one? Will look on eBay etc. in the meantime.
Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions.

Got the Seagate HD installed, PRAM battery replaced and missing PCI cover replaced. Sure wished that I had the extra memory to install now, but I haven't had the chance to order it yet. I know it's easy to do, but I'm going to have to move the Mac to the table and it's heavy for me to lift (bad back).
Anyway, I started to install OS 9 on the Seagate and have hit a stumbling block! Didn't have this problem when I replaced the HD in my iMac, but it was only a 120GB drive (it needed the firmware updated).
I've looked at other posts on installing OS 9 and even on Apple's support documents and can't find what I exactly need to do! Am getting more confused about it the more I try to find the right answers... Hope one of you can help me some more.
I was able to boot the Mac up from the CD (it's the white one with the orange "9" on it). I clicked on the "Mac OS Install" icon, click on "Continue" (on the "Install Mac OS 9) dialog box, and then it says: A valid destination volume can't be found. To continue the installation process, mount a valid volume for software installation." The destination disk options is grayed out. I then clicked on the "Utilities" icon, and then the "Drive Setup" icon. It shows a list of drives and I clicked on the <not initialized> Type ATA, Bus 2, ID 0, LUN 0 and clicked on the "Initialize" button. Then it says: New Partitioning: 1 Mac OS, Initialization Options: None. If you click on Custome Setup, it says that the Partioning Scheme is "Current Volume," 131072MB (131GB?), under Volume Info Type it says Mac OS Standard. The "OK" button is grayed out. If you click on "1 Partition" on "Partitioning Scheme," then the Volume Info Type says "Mac OS Extended, with Size showing 131071MB. The "OK" button is not grayed out. I didn't go any farther with the OS 9 installation, as I don't know what the heck I'm doing! Don't want to mess something up. Do you or anyone who has helped me with this posting, know the steps I should take next? The Seagate Owner's Manual says if you have a system that can't read the entire 160GB, to just partition the drive for 137GB for now if you don't want to add a PCI controller card etc. For now, all I want to do is use the 128 or 131GB (according to what it says) of the 160GB drive without using a different card or software to recognize all of the 160GB. Do I just do one partition or two... and what else? I'm completely lost...
Sorry for the long post, but had to write down the steps I took, so someone could tell me what to do next.
I don't think you have to worry about PRAM settings; they pretty much take care of themselves - and regenerate when they have to. The time to think about PRAM is when you introduce new hardware and catch your Mac expecting same old, same old, and it isn't.
It was kind of hard to get the old PRAM battery out of its holder. I pryed the right side retainer tab just a bit with a screwdriver to get it out. Noticed that one part of the retainer at the base was cracked! Hope I didn't do that! Put some super glue on the crack (was on the outside only from what I could see). Cleaned off the battery contacts with a pencil eraser and dry Q-tip before installing the new battery. It seems to stay in place even though with the side retainer cracked. If the side retainer would break off the next time the battery would need replacing, would the battery contacts hold it ok? Or would the whole logic board have to be replaced? I put a SAFT 3.6v LS14250 battery in it. The old one was a SAFT LS14250C. Hope the "C" at the end doesn't mean anything.

Running itunes on two pc's with external hard drive library

Hi All;
I am working with two laptop pc's, a large external hard drive and my iphone. I am in the process of putting my cd library onto an external hard drive and I plan on plugging the drive into either laptop to play my music library wirelessly using apple airplay. Both laptops are running windows 7 and I use the latest version of iTunes.
Initially, I transferred my music off my laptop onto the external drive (following the 'consolidate library' process provided in one of the help menus) and then successfully told iTunes where to find the library on my external hard drive (E:/itunes Music). I then did this with the 2nd laptop. Then I resumed downloading music from cd's.
All of my music is successfully saving to my external hard drive (E:). However, when I download on one laptop and then go to the other, I can't always see all of the albums. I got frustrated, started checking and unchecking things, now I'm sort of lost. iTunes has never been my favorite program.:/
My questions are below:
1. Can I use two laptops and my external hard drive interchangeably?
2. Right now, I get the message 'please choose an iTunes library' but when I direct it to the E: drive and click 'open' it keeps opening into my music files and doesn't open the program. If I try 'create library' I see this:
3. Now that there is a new library, I see this:
but previously I had it set to look like this:
My question is- should I have both boxes checked? Only the top one? What do they mean, anyway?
Ideas, suggestions and links welcome.
Thank you!

Making some assumptions:
The iTunes Library.itl file located at E:\iTunes Music\Music\iTunes 1 is your current/active database
When you run iTunes all your media files can be located and will play
You have free space on your external hard drive - at least as much as currently used for your E:\iTunes Music folder
If one or more of these are not valid, STOP HERE and report back - some parts of the procedure below would be different.
Before starting I would strongly suggest taking a backup of your E: drive as insurance against anything not working as it is supposed to.
Exit iTunes
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to drive E:
Select Organize > Folder and Search Options, then the View tab - make sure that the Show hidden files, folders and drives option is selected
Create a new folder E:\iTunes - this will be the new starting point for your iTunes library
Navigate to the folder where your library files are currently stored (E:\iTunes Music\Music\iTunes 1) - you've already provided a screenshot of this, but with the Show hidden files, folders and drives option selected you should see one more file:
(sentinel is a hidden file that iTunes uses while running).
Select all five files in this folder:
then right-click > Copy or press Ctrl-C.
Still in Windows Explorer, navigate to the E:\iTunes folder you created in step 4, then right-click > Paste or press Ctrl-V. At this point the E:\iTunes folder should look like this:
Now hold down the Shift key and start iTunes. You'll get this prompt:
Click on Choose Library..., navigate to E:\iTunes and select the iTunes Library.itl file (that you just copied into this folder). Click Open. iTunes will start and show your library with the same content as before.
Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced. Click the Reset button, which will change your iTunes Media folder location to E:\iTunes\iTunes Media, which is what you should want it to be (ignore the I: drive shown here, yours should be E:)
Click OK - you should get this prompt:
Click Yes. This doesn't actually move your files, there's one more step. Still in iTunes, select File > Library > Organize Library... When you see this prompt:
check the Consolidate Files box and - if not greyed out - the Reorganize files ... box. The click OK. iTunes will now start copying your media files to the new, preferred location and layout. The time taken to complete this process depends on the size of your library - for a small one it'll be a few minutes; for a large library considerably more. Allow the process to finish.
Once complete, your library in iTunes should look exactly as it was before - you should be able to select and play any of your songs/albums. However, if you right-click > Get Info on any song and select the File tab, you should see that the file location has been updated:
and if you go to Windows Explorer and navigate to E:\iTunes\iTunes Media you'll see a Music subfolder which in turn contains one folder for each artist:
In your case the drive reference at the top will be "My Passport (E:)" and the folders listed will be those for your library.
Successful completion of all these steps should now have brought your library into the "portable" or "well-formed" layout. Just to make sure everything's working:
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, rename your E:\iTunes Music folder to something like "Old iTunes"
Restart iTunes, without holding down shift. Your library should be available to you as in step 11 above - however, its worth testing a significant sample of your music just to make sure that everything is in the right place and plays correctly.
One point I didn't cover is the case where the other (older) iTunes library you have - the one where the iTunes Library.itl file is on the C: drive - may be referencing albums/songs that were not in the library that was on the E: drive and that the procedure described above will bring into a more standard format. If this is the case then there are a couple of approaches that you can use to merge the two libraries - report back if this is the case.
If this last point doesn't apply, you can now go ahead and delete the renamed E:\iTunes Music folder - otherwise there will be a few more steps to go through before you can finally get rid of this.
Finally, once you've completed everything successfully, work out how you're going to create and maintain a backup of your library. With the approach described above all of iTunes' data is in one place - E:\iTunes. I would suggest using the method described in turingtest2's notes on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy ... remembering that "Hard drives fail. Always. You just don't know when its going to happen."
Apologies for the length of these notes - however, based on your description of your current setup I thought it worth going through all the steps to bring it into a more conventional layout.

My late 2012 mac mini boots slow with new ssd drive

So here is the situation. I purchased a 128gb ssd drive, installed it a usb enclosure, formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), cloned it with carbon copy cloner 3, used the option key during boot up and selected the ssd drive and it booted my mac mini and it functioned perfectly. I than tested it for dozens of reboots and it worked fine. I then took apart my mac mini and removed the original hard drive and installed the new ssd drive. When I boot to the ssd drive it still takes 47 to 53 seconds just like the old drive. Aren't ssd drives supposed to be a lot faster?
My solution or tip is as follows; The reason it takes so long to boot is because the mac mini doesn't know you replaced the old drive and it is looking for it during the boot process. Finally it can't find the drive so it boots to the ssd drive. All you have to do to correct this is click on "system preferences", select and click on "startup disk" and select your ssd drive and click on "restart". After these steps your mac mini will now boot in about 17 seconds. Issues solved.

Yes, my solution fixed the issue. I went from a 47 to 53 second boot time to a 17 second boot time. The ssd drive is significantly faster than the original drive that came with my late 2012 mac-mini. This is my first post and I wasn't sure how to post this as a tip. I have another tip regarding usb 3.0 hubs.

How to control two different processes with one DAQ output board

Hi! I posted this in the Signal Generators forum, but I'm reposting here in case someone on this board has suggestions for a way to get around my problem programmatically (ie. within LabVIEW). Thank you for any help you can provide.
Patrick
I have a PXI-6722 8-channel, 13-bit analog output board, and with this I want to independently control both the temperature (thermometer excitation/heater control) and magnetic field in my experiment. Unfortunately, it appears that I cannot do both simultaneously, which is totally unacceptable for my application.
Currently I'm using separate VI's for field and temperature control. This is the start of the problem, because in DAQmx you can't have 2 output tasks on the same card at the same time. In order to remedy this situation, I used MAX to create a global task containing all 8 13-bit analog outputs. However, it now appears that each time I do a write operation on this task (from whichever VI) I must write to all of the task channels, rather than just the channels I want to change. This would be fine for the temperature controls as they are of the type "set an output voltage value and hold it until told differently," so I could re-write the currently held values for channels that are not being changed. Magnetic field control will not work in this way, because we need to do very smooth field sweeps which require an analog waveform to be sent and sampled at a high rate (so that the steps are as small as possible). So if, for example, a thermometer's excitation voltage or a heater's power need to be changed during a field sweep (as is often necessary to maintain a constant temperature, via PID), then the sweep will be disrupted, potentially causing a dangerous magnet quench.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could make this work? It seems very wasteful to buy a second output board when I still have lots of free channels on the first.
Thanks,
Patrick

I'd probably create a third process that just updates all output values on the card whenever necessary.
One way is to send messages via queues from the temperature and magnetic field control routines to the third process. The third process doesn't do anything unless it gets a message from one of the two other processes. The message should contain the channel task ID to change along with the new value. Use the LabVIEW queue VI's, using a type definition to specify the message type either when you create the queue or use the variant VI's. Once it gets a message, it updates the changed channels, not modifying the others (use a shift register to store an array with the current set of output values).
Hope this helps.

IPad won't sync with old iMac with new hard drive.

The new drive recognizes the iMac, and the photos on the iPad were successfully imported into iPhoto, but 2 home videos on the iMac will not transfer. I have tried to manually drag and drop, different cords and ports, over wi-fi, etc... The Summary box says the iPad has never backed up to this computer, but when I try to do that, it tries and then stops with no error message. The Movies tab has the two videos I want to transfer, but the sync button is gray. I have hard rebooted the iPad and restarted the iMac. Also deauthorized and reauthorized the iMac. I suspect that somehow the iPad is not recognizing the new hard drive. Is that possible? Any suggestions? Thank you for your help!

I don't mean the latest version of iOS. I mean the latest version of iTunes on your Mac.

Problems with new Audigy driv

<p class="MsoNormal">I have just installed a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Model SB0090 to replace my old SB Li've. When upgrading from older Audigy drivers to the latest drivers available on the Creative support website, I find that they cause serious problems with my 4. digital speaker system (Boston BA7500G). With either of the newest drivers installed, when I adjust the volume using either the Creative Surround Mixer or the Creative Remote Control, it causes the rear speakers to stop working. Closer investigation revealed that moving the volume slider in Creative Surround Mixer had a strange effect in Windows Audio Control Panel. Upon opening the Speaker Volume tab in Windows Audio Control Panel, it revealed 8 speaker channels (suggesting that it detected the Audigy card as a 7. when in fact it only supports? 5.). When I moved the volume slider on the Creative Surround Mixer (in either direction) it had the effect of moving all but three of the speaker volume sliders in the Windows Audio Control Panel (Right Channel, Left Channel and Channel 8) to zero, with the result that the rear speakers stopped working. Inm other words, Windows was insisting that the speaker setup was 2. and not 4. as in the Surround Mixer selection. ?It made no difference if either or both of the checkboxes ?Synchronize with Windows Control panel? in Creative Audio Console or ?Move all sliders at the same time? in Windows Control Panel were checked or not. This problem is present in both SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe and SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe. It does not appear to be present with the older driver SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe, so for now I have rolled back to that. In fact, with SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe Windows Audio Control Panel only shows 2 channels in the Speaker Volume tab; Left Channel and Right Channel, but all speakers in my 4. system work and the controls in Creative Surround Mixer and Remote Control all work fine. I would like to be able to take advantage of the fixes available in the two newer drivers but they cause me serious problems. Can anybody help? Finally, the presence of a beta driver on the website suggests that a newer version is coming soon. I wonder?if this issue be addressed with the new driver.

I have some problem as you with new drivers SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe and SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe. Only in my case I use SB Audigy and headphone 5.. Always when I check 5. in Audio Console it reset to 2.. I can set 2. or headphone only.Message Edited by AlkaliX on 09-3-2008 09:53 AM

Help with new hard drive

Only a select few of us have found ourselves in this position. I am a student who takes his laptop to school for learning purposes however after doing a long night as the sound technician at a school show I put my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 13" 4GB RAM Intel Core i5) into my bag put it over my shoulder and started to walk when I felt like a sudden weight had been lifted off my back and I heard the most colossal bang as then I find that the bag has snapped and my MacBook Pro is on the floor. When I get home I hastily go and check it and I find that there is a sizable dent in the side of my laptop where the hard drive is, so I open it up the hard drive and the SATA connection are fine and my mac still works so I continue to take it to school when a couple of days ago it completely freezes up and refuses to do anything so I turn it off and wait till I get home and then boot it up and all I get is a white screen so I press command and R. I then get I dialogue saying "INTERNET RECOVERY PLEASE WAIT", I read up on internet recovery and find it means something has gone completely wrong with my system. My hard drive has broke. So I go to school and they give me a small 60 GB hard drive spinning at 3,200 RPM which gave me some time to look for anew hard drive online whilst I could still do work on my laptop. I then find a Seagate 1 TB SSHD for £70 on Amazon so I go for it. Now I have followed all the instructions on how to install the drive which is supposedly Mac compatible I then boot my MacBook Pro up holding command and r it then boots into internet recovery I then go to restore the system through Time Machine Back-Up to then find that the SSHD isn't recognized. So I take it out and put it in my now 12 Year Old Power Mac G5 and in registers fine I then formatted it to Mac OS X Extended Journaled and partition it as GUID Partition Map for Intel Macs. I re-insert it into my MacBook Pro and go through the process again however it is still not showing up.
My Question is...
Am I doing something wrong?
Or
Is it the Solid State Hybrid Drive?
I can't Plug the new hard drive in via a SATA to USB and install Mac OS X Yosemite and my files because the only medium that has all my files on is my External Hard drive for time machine back-up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

"It also seems a bit backwards since you have to erase a hard drive with nothing on it to format it"
At least you are not erasing anything important!! Always worth reformatting a new HD in my opinion, Apple does not make the HDs so you never know what they may have been formatted as/with/on/by etc... Also if you take time to ZERO out any data (see security options button) you would identify/isolate any bad blocks before you start using (highly recommended). This would lead to far few problems later, as you know for sure you have a sound and working disk! Definitely NOT backwards! Just good sense.

Restoring computer with new hard drive & Logic Board using Time Machine

My MBPro totally crashed and just got it back from Apple with a new hard drive, logic board, optical super drive, one new 1GB ram chip, and a new video display panel. My questions are two fold, first, have I had so much replaced on this machine that I need to use Migration Assistant instead of Time Machine to restore it?
Second, If I am suppose to be using Time Machine, I'm having no success! My TM backups were done on a network drive via Airport Extreme with a HD attached to it. Through the Snow Leopard disk utility, I can access the partition with the backup on it, but then it hangs on "opening TM backup". After about a half hour, I had to do a hard shut down (no other option). I did this several times, same result. So the question is;
Can I plug the HD directly into my MBPro and restore it that way? I'm not sure if I can do this as I know the backups are different for hard wired and networked drives.
Or can I use an ethernet cable and plug Airport Extreme with the external drive attached into my laptop?
Thanks for any help!

no. you can do a full system restore from TM using the restore utility on the snow leopard DVD.

snow leopard disk utility?? what exactly are you doing? disk utility is not involved in restoring from TM in any way.

no, this is not how you should do it. connect the AEBS by ethernet. then boot from the snow leopard dvd and use "restore system from backup" from the Utilities menu. it will let you find the backup on the network and do a full system restore from it.

Restoring with new Hard Drive

My dad had to clean out my hard drive earlier this year, so all my data was lost. I downloaded Yamipod, the program that takes music from the ipod. But now, when I want to add songs to my ipod, it says that it's corrupted and I need to restore it.
I tried to copy all my songs via Yamipod, but it's not recognizing it either.
The ipod still works but it doesn't work with iTunes.
I don't want to lose all my songs! Help!
