Using internal hd as external...

I've just upgraded my internal hard drive, and now have a spare 40gb hard drive. It was suggested that I make it an external hd by putting it in a case, and I like that idea for storing photos (my current external is older, and is more bulky and runs off mains power - not wonderfully portable).
It's the original hd from my laptop. All I know is that it's a toshiba - I have it in front of me, and don't know what all the numbers mean, so if someone tells me what I'm looking for, I can give more details.
What kind of case should I be looking for? I would like it to run off my computer's power. Anything else I need to know?
Cheers!

Hi,
You want a firewire enclosure (it will be bootable with your iBook) for a 2.5" ATA drive. Owc has good enclosures.

Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.

Need more storage - larger internal drive, or external drive?

Good day...here's a little background before I head into my question.
I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with a 320 GB hard drive. I have an 2 GB WD External Hard drive...I've partitioned 500 GB that I use for my Time Machine backups and use the remaining 1.5 TB to store additional files, mainly music and video files. I rarely keep it plugged in to my MBP....I'll plug it in to do the odd Time Machine backup every couple of weeks, but that's about it. I like taking the MBP to the living room to use and the idea of having to plug and unplug an external hard drive several times a day is something I've decided not to do. Additionally, I access most of my photos/music/video through my Apple TV to play them on my TV/receiver. I also have no need to use the cloud as I don't require access to my media files when I'm out of the house.
My internal hard drive has been filling up over the last year and as it has, I've been dumping video files to my external hard drive. If I need them again, I'll simply transfer the odd one back to my MBP and add it back to the Itunes library. However, even with the odd purging, my internal drive is now filling up, mainly due to photos and videos of the little kids. The time has come, I need to do something.
I know that I have the option to store my Itunes library on an external drive (and this would quickly fix my storage issue as about half the 320 GB of space is my Itunes library), but I've been hesitate to do so. I do have an Airport Extreme Base Station downstairs and a PC Desktop as well. In reviewing these forums, I understand that I can transfer my Itunes library to my external hard drive, connect it right to the AEBS and access my Itunes files on my MBP from there. However, as I buy new music/videos from Itunes or add other media files to my Itunes on my MBP, would they automatically transfer to the Itunes library on my External, or would I have to add them each time? Is it still pretty seamless to transition to having my itunes library on an external hard drive without a lengthy list of things that you have to "put up with"?
In an effort to resist too much change, I've been thinking about simply replacing my 320 GB internal drive with a 1 TB internal drive so that I can keep things pretty much as they are...keep the Itunes library on my MBP and continue using the 2 TB external for backups and some additional storage space.
So, with that, I'm curious to hear any feedback on how to approach this...am I complicating things, are there any suggestions on how I could be organizing things way better? And finally, is your advice to increase the internal hard drive, or should I quit overthinking this and just move the ituens library to an external hard drive?
Thanks!

large external HD
A computer should never be considered a data storage device, only a data creation/ sending/ manipulation device.
All mega-storage should be a "grab and dash" item to store in a fire vault etc. Easily unhooked from a main computer capable of lightning strike, failure, easy erasure, etc.
And never ever rely on one backup ever. Recipe for disaster.
There are currently only 3 HD manufacturers, WD, Seagate, and Hitachi/Toshiba (recently acquired by WD).
No such thing as a "windows" Hard Drive either, .....only a Win formatted HD. A HD is a HD ... whatever it says or is formatted in when you buy it,... you can format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
All personal conjecture aside, Hitachi/Toshiba are the best 2.5" HD, same used by Apple inside the Macbook Pro
..... also those running literally 1000s of HD in server farms agree on this.
That being said, WD are not recommended as an internal HD for a Mac.
Most reliable 3.5" class HD are Seagate
The LaCie drives carried in the Apple stores contain 3.5" Seagate HD
Most reliable 2.5" class HD are HItachi/Toshiba (same as used by Apple in the macbook Pro).
MUCH empirical data (and my own as well) says that Western Digital are the worst
WD has some compatibility issues with Mac.
Best bang for the buck in external 2.5" HD, is the Toshiba Canvio Basics HDTB120XK3CA 2 Terabytes 2.5" External Hard Drive
I have 4 of these tiny 2TB drives, ....theyre highly rated, and phenomenal
Currently theyre $120
http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-HDTB120XK3CA/dp/B00ARJD56K
People running server farms and see 1000s of HD, and failures will all tell you the same, in 3.5" class, get a Seagate, and DONT get a WD.
7 out of 10 HD failures have NOTHING to do with the HD.......if a HD fails (and they all fail) , its usually first 3 months or less
7 out of those 10 failures AFTER 3 months is NOT a bad HD, but a cheap/junk SATA connector and circuitry which connects the external HD to your computer.
Seagate large BACKUP HD 3.5" had gotten, for a while a bad reputation, but it had nothing to do with the HD, rather the cheap SATA connector interface that it was plugged into in the external casing.

Internal display dead, external display works fine

Hi,
I left my machine unplugged over the summer. When I came back, the internal display was dark.
The machine was making all the right noises at startup, and the Caps Lock key worked, and I could make it beep louder and softer with the volume F-keys, so I hooked it up to an external monitor. It works perfectly with the external monitor.
I went through the troubleshooting procedures - zap the pram, reset the power manager, boot from a CD - no video on the internal display.
While connected to the external monitor, I ran the System Information program and looked for the internal display device. It wasn't there! Only the external one shows up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I can post screenshots or System Information reports if anyone wants them.
Thanks,
Doug

Someone took it off my hands. They're going to use it with an external display.
Thanks all!

I use Djay for my Apple and I would like to use TC as an external hd to access from Djay, however when I look for my external T1 drive I cannot find it in iTunes so I can load onto Djay? Any help?

Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

     was set up with external number assignment.
System Response
     For periodic posting of depreciation, you have to create a document
     number range with internal number assignment, since the document numbers
     are assigned from Financial Accounting.
Procedure
     Change the number assignment for the number range 22 from external to
     internal in Customizing for Asset Accounting. See SAP Note 890976 for
     more information.
But no ranges for that particular year having, if any changing that one it s not come edit or deleating
ple any one help me

Gangadhar reddy

Hi Gangadhar,
after 4.6C the Internal Number Range was changed into external Number Range due to technical requirements.
As the error messages due to posting manual into the affected number ranges could not be hindered in this case with ERP2005 the desicion was made to rechange to internal number range. Note 890976 describe what to do here.

AFAB:AA776 "Create document number range ## using internal number assignmen

Good afternoon
I ask for your guidance to see if anyone knows me that is generating errors in the transaction AFAB AA776 "Create document number range ## using internal number assignment", the peculiarity of this is that I'm in an environment that is proving to migrate V5 to V6 ranges in environment QAS is marked as external and no problems to run on v6 change in SAP itself. Test by removing the flag marking for external control and run, causing an alarm is that it does not work as in my QAS v 5 and that I should remove this flag is removed and remove it in all the years this range of numbers is that it can hurt if you make this change.
Can anyone guide me please.
Thanks for the support.
good day

Hello ,
Kindly have a look at the below notes that will help you resolve the
issue :
890976 - Converting closing report to internal doc number assgnmnt
If note 890976 has been applied in your system already (package
level is = or > SAPKH60005), so what you need to check is the
following :
In transaction FBN1, in your company code you should see that the
period and number range in question is ticked as external.
Please untick the indicator for "External" and press enter. If this
box happens to be uneditable then untick the number range for the
previous year and press enter. All other entries will update
automatically.
Here is a brief explaination to why this change has been made:
Before ERP2005(RAPOST2000 exists as of release 4.70)the number usage
was external, because RAPOST2000 internally managed the document number
handling. As this was not possible any more with the New General Ledger
functionality, and as the usage of internal number ranges is much
simpler and more efficient, we changed the number range management
inside RAPOST2000 (and by the way also the new periodic posting report
RAPERB2000).
Please kindly check the attached notes 683313 for your reference.
I hope this provides some clarification.
regards
Ray

How to differentiate an internal from an external candidate in E-recruiting

Hi experts,
I need your help. I'm creating a Z report to show the % of internal and external candidates who were hired or choosen in a selection process. I will have two columns the first one will show the internal candidates and the second one the external candidates. I'll also display the reasons why a candidate were reproved on the selection, for this reason I also have to separate internal from external candidates.
I've seem some threads where you say that the best way is to find the relation NA<CP<P. Is this the only way or there is any other way as a module function where I put NA and it show me if it's an internal or external candidate.
I'll really appreciate any help!
Best regards,
Thais

Hello Thais,
reportig in SAP E-Recruiting is quite difficult due to the missing historization in some infotypes. A lot of changes are not historized so it is not possible to get any other valid information than the current status. Looking back into the past is in the best case unsure in the worst impossible. External candidates become internal candidates on hiring and internal candidates become external candidates on termination, maternity leave, ....
It is very difficult to get the percentage of external und internal hirings based on e-recruiting data. It is much easier to get this from the HR core as (at least in a perfect world) you just count hiring actions and org. change actions. Of course not every org. change is usually an "internal hiring" in e-recruiting.
If you want to get these numbers purely from e-recruiting data, the best approach from my experience is getting the candidacies in hired status -> get the application for the candidacy -> get the publication for the application -> get the publication channel candidate type. This information is not changing over the time and not depending on the candidate. Restrictions of this approach are usually direct assignments from talent pool, if internal and external candidates can release their profile. If you do not request an application for the candidacy you can not determine the candidate type. Furthermore in many organizations the e-recruiting process ends with hiring the cadidate. Noone maintains rejections for the no shows so you get too many hirings from the e-recruting data. But perhaps this approach works in your scenario.
Kind Regards
PS: The method mentioned above works fine to find out if a candidate is currently an internal or external candidate. Unfortunately these methods are often to slow for mass use in reporting. So from a performance point of view reading HRP1001 relations and HRP5102 INACTIVE flag is the better solution.

Can I use Time Capsule as external drive with a Time Capsule?

I have a Time Capsule set up with AirPort and it works well for backups. Can I buy a second Time Capsule and plug it into this TC with ethernet and use it as an external drive?

jshafer wrote:
So, you are recommending using a USB drive into the TC or using an NAS plugged into the ethernet port...is that correct?
Yes, correct. USB drive is not fast but it is still mostly going to be faster than wireless.. it is of course slower than ethernet.. so what you are using on your clients dictates what is the rate determining step of the network.
Am I correct in thinking that an NAS using ethernet connection would be faster than USB?
Does a true NAS have its own internal backup system?
Yes, to both.. but remembering the client has to be able to make use of it. ie is also ethernet.
True NAS is faster than TC as they use RAID systems.. more reliable.. you can replace disks in the raid.. TC is sealed.. and all decent NAS will be able to back themselves up to a USB drive.. on incremental basis.. which is major shortcoming when people try and use the TC in this role.

Can iPhoto use files on an external hard drive?

I am nearly out of space on my iBook hard drive, and would like to move all my photos to an external USB hard drive. Of course, I would then like iPhoto to be able to use the files just on the external drive. Yes, it's a bit slow, but until I get a new laptop, I'm hoping that will do. It seems, though, that when I import anything to iPhoto, iPhoto wants to put it on the iBook hard drive. All help/ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, lllapides. First, make sure the USB drive is formatted Mac OS Extended. iPhoto definitely won't use it unless it is. Then copy your entire iPhoto Library folder, intact, from your internal to the external drive. Open iPhoto while holding down the Option key, and when invited to find your library, navigate to the external drive and do so. If you aren't allowed to choose that library folder, or the library fails to open after you've done it, or the internal-drive copy of the library opens instead, there may be a problem with using a USB drive. This procedure would work fine with a FireWire drive.
If the library opens up normally from the USB drive, you're all set. Wait to trash the library folder that's on the internal drive until you're absolutely sure everything is OK.
It should go without saying, but if you don't have room to keep a copy of the library on your internal drive, you'd better have a third drive on which to keep a backup copy. Working without a backup is an invitation to disaster — and sooner or later, disaster will accept the invitation.
