Use BD disk for data storage?

A blue ray disk can hold 25gb of data as opposed to a DVD 4.7gb.
Is there any way I can store standard original footage AVI from an old DV camera via firewire on a BD disk and use it later on for
archive or editing some time in the future?
That way I could store a whole DV tape on a BD disk.

Yes. Use a program, like the great, free ImgBurn to do BD-Data discs. Just Copy your files/folders to the blank disc.
You might want to see this ARTICLE, however. Just something, possibly potential, to think about.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to use a 2nd partition for data storage?

The 40 GB hard disk on my satellite L10 was delivered with two 20 GB partitions (drive C and D). I now understand (by reading this forum) that it is preferred to use one partition for data storage.
Until now there was no need to use the D-drive. But by now I need the extra space.
How can I use the folders structure in windows XP home (My Documents etc) and put the data on the D-drive.
We work on this computer with several accounts.
I tried to move one folder out of My Documents to the D-drive, but then it can be reached by the other users. Should I use shortcuts towards the D-drive? I hope there is a simple solution.
Thanks in advance.
(I tried my best to write this in English....)

Hi
I didnt tried it before but you can try to make your personal folder on D partition. The notebook administrator should set the security settings that can be found under folder properties. Go to Security tab and check all permissions for other users. Choose Deny option for all of them.
I believe that on this way you can use your data folder alone and be sure that other users can not read or execute any of your private data.
Please let me know if it works properly.
Bye

Use an external HD with Airport Extreme to access it for data storage from computers connected to the WiFi network?

Can I connect My Passport HD into my Airport Extreme's USB port to access it from my computers (27" iMac 2012 now using Yosemite) on that Wifi network for data storage and retrieval purposes?

Yes, if the AirPort base station's hardware supports 802.11n. The drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), FAT16, or FAT32, and may need to be connected through an USB hub with its own power supply.

HT1452 I have a Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive on my Mac. I've used it for 4-5 months with no problems, but now cannot add to it (I use it mostly for photo storage) to it. I can still access information previously added. Ideas?

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

New disk for Data Pump

Hi to all,
OS: Windows Server 2003 EE 64bit, Database: Oracle Database 10g
I do not know whether this question is for here, but …
I have a database server with four SCSI hard drives. The last hard drive I added (300GB) in Disk Management is set up as Layout:Simple Type:Dynamic. All of my other drives are set up as Layout:Partition Type:Basic. The new drive I want to use as location for DATA PUMP dump files.
This new drive I don’t plan to put with another disk in mirror or any RAID configuration, as is the case with other existing hard drives.
Whether to leave it as Dynamic or to put them as Basic?
I was curious as to what the differences are, and if I continue to use it as Dynamic will I have any issue?
Thanks.

you can copy the old backups to the new drive but don't do it using finder. clone the old TM drive to the new one using either Superduper or the restore tab in Disk Utility.

Can nano ipod be used as a separate data storage?

Can nano ipod be used as a separate data storage? if so then can any file be stored e.g. .doc, .jpg. Also does the PC need anything like software for the data files to be accessed and transfered. If it doesn't then that means file can be transferred computer to computer in a couple of minutes meaning the nano ipod can be used similary to pen drive.
nano ipod Windows XP

To tie together all the responses here:
You can picture the iPod as having two different personalities. One is the music player, and this is run through iTunes. The other is a data storage device. This is optional, and you have to turn it on via iTunes, but once you turn it on, you use it via Windows just like any other removable drive. If you have it set to the "split-personality" then the two sides really have nothing to do with each other. iTunes manages the music, Windows handles the data side.

Using number datatype for date column

Hi
Is there a side effect for using "number" datatype for "date" column?
If so, what is the disadvantage?
Many thanks

Oracle provides date arithmetic and a number of functions for manipulating DATEs. None of them work with numbers.
For example,
SELECT    TRUNC (order_date, 'MONTH')     AS order_month
,       AVG (ship_date - order_date)     AS avg_delay
FROM       orders
GROUP BY TRUNC (order_date, 'MONTH')
;order_month involves a DATE function; it's pretty easy to find the month that conatins order_date.
avg_delay involves date arithmetic. It's extrememly easy to find how much the time passed between order_date and ship_date.
Depending on how you code dates as numbers, doing either one of the above may be just as easy, but doing the other will be very difficult. You'll waste a lot of effort converting the NUMBERs to real DATEs whenever you need to manipulate them.
Validation can be very difficult for NUMBERs, also.
Watch this forum. It's a rare day when there's not some question about how to get around a problem caused by storing dates in a NUMBER (or VARCHAR2) column. Don't add to that. Always use DATE columns for dates.

Sorry but that makes no sense in English. Only your mobile phone company (i.e. "carrier") can enable the Personal Hotspot feature.

Can't use Time Capsule as data storage beyond Time Machine?

I had thought that my 2TB Time Capsule could be used for:
1) Wi-Fi router
2) Time Machine backups of all my Apple computers
3) Data storage, i.e. a shared drive among all computers in my home to store/transfer files like a network drive
But from what I've been reading, it appears that #3 is not an option. I was going to erase my TC and start all over so that I could allocate maybe 1.5TB to backups and half a TB to storage for my home machines.
Is this not possible without physically dismantling the TC as suggested elsewhere? If so, then I guess I just have a WiFi router and space for backups.

In addition to the comments from LexShellings, if you want to reserve a given amount of space on the Time Capsule disk for your shared files, you can set up a Disk Image using Disk Utility on your Mac to do so.
What you cannot do....without a lot of effort and also voiding the warranty.....is "partition" the Time Capsule drive in the traditional sense.
But, since the Disk Image will reserve the space that you want for your shared files, it acts like a partition on the Time Capsule disk.
Before you set up the Disk Image for your shared files......you might want to think about how you will back up that Disk Image to another drive....so you have a backup of the shared files.

Equium A100 - can I use E drive for data saving?

My Equium A100-27 has an 80GB hard drive, this is slit in half C drive and E drive.
I understand that the E drive is used for system recovery purposes but can I also use it to store data on?
If I do use it for data how much room should be left clear for system recovery?

Hi
I think the E partition is used for Recover image. The Toshiba notebooks are preinstalled with an Toshiba recover disk creator. This tool allows you to create a own disk. And the image is placed on the additional partition

Tiger Archive and Install Using External Disk for Archive?

Any way to do an archive and install by moving the saved stuff to an external usb drive? My 10.4.3 install disk is offering me only erase and install, I was updated to 10.4.8 and quite invested with software, etc., would really like to at least try archive and install, but of course the main drive is too full for that.
As an alternative, is there any way to use single user mode command line to locate and move files before doing the erase and install?
Finally, I gather I cannot boot os 9 with my mini. Is there any workaround for that?
Thanks for any help.

> One of the unexplained mysteries to me is what users are supposed to do about iTunes libraries?
Create and maintain a backup saved to an external drive or media (used for backup purposes only) as should be done with all other data that is important to you - for this very reason and for other important reasons. It isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever.
Since an iPod can be accessed/used via Disk mode as with any other external drive, many use their iPod for backup purposes which is a big mistake IMO since this isn't what an iPod is designed for. There are ways to retrieve music from an iPod but if you have your iPod preferences to automatically launch iTunes and update with iTunes and/or don't have Disk mode enabled, it makes it much more difficult if not impossible.
Do you have access to another Mac that supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode? If so, you can connect your Mini to another Mac this way to retrieve your data and then you should probably consider reformatting the drive (which completely erases the drive) and then re-install Tiger and all software.

TS4009 Refund for data storage purchase for iPhone

What is the email address or phone number to get a refund for iCloud data storage? Apple says simply to "contact Apple" without more specificity.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57#U
Follow the link. If you are in the US just scroll down to US & there's a link to email and the contact phone numbers. You can also use express lane.
I received a full refund of my ICloud storage purchase 43 days after purchase! The CSR were phenomenal and just friendly & professional - great experience! I might have lucked-out getting the reps (Shelley & Joshua).
I called: 1-800-MYIPHONE
The wait was maybe 2 minutes max!

Can two macs use same disk for Time Machine backup with Airport Extreme?

Hi
I use a Western Digital disk as a wireless Time Machine backup connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme and it works great. My question is: can my girlfriend use that same disk for Time Machine backup from HER computer too? (I don't mind formatting the disk if needed.)
If she can't, is it then possible to connect a USB hub and have two disks hooked up to the Airport Extreme?
Thanks for helping. I am constantly in awe of all the help people like you give people like me. Thanks!!!

I've gone through the manual setup and the assisted setup and can't seem to get my MacBook to use the Time Machine. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, as the Jolly Giant points out....+this type of configuration is not supported by Apple+, so it's difficult, if not impossible, to provide a fix for something that Apple says that you cannot do. Reference these Apple Support documents regarding this topic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
Your situation is not unlike other users who try this and find that one computer may backup...(usually for a limited time before corruption issues start to creep in)...but another computer cannot backup. Count me as one of those users who thought that because things seemed to work that I had somehow "beat the system".
I started getting the corruption error messages after 4-5 weeks of successful backups, so I figured that it did not make sense to continue to try to get a second computer to backup (yes, I too could not setup a second Mac to backup).
Sorry, I could not get a second machine to backup, so can't tell you how to accomplish that goal. If you want to continue to try backing up this way, you might want to also think about a second backup strategy...just in case backups become corrupted on the WD drive.
Maybe if Apple says you cannot do this, they just may be right?
