Using two HArd disks

Hi Folks, my friend has an Ipod and uses Itunes. He has, an external hardisk, and his Lappy. he uses the external, for backup. where ALL his Itunes stuff is.
So he converted some cds into itunes format, via itunes, and it stuffed them into My Music <on c:>
I copied them to E: extrnal, changed itunes in menu->edit->preferances so itunes was looking at e:\My Music.
Now the thing "remmembers what was on C: but not on E:
How do we sync it? I do not have one of these gadgets. My friend is computer iliterate, so a really simple explanation as to how to do this would be nice, that i can email to him.
if anyone knows of a user guide, for this thing (itunes) that would be cool too. the latter is for me.

Time Machine does not do automatic backups when laptops are running on battery power although I believe you should be able to use Back Up Now by selecting it by control or right clicking the Time Machine icon in the dock. Apple hasn't said why they did things this way but I presume it is to allow the user more control over what tasks precious battery power is used for.

HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

When two Hard disk damage in RAID Level 5f

Hi,
Please help me. Two hard disk fail in RAID 5. Is it necessary to create new array or only replace failing Hard disk only?
Thank you
Md Jamal Uddin

Hi,
A RAID 5 array only allows for recovery in the event that just one disk at a time fails. If two disks in a RAID5 array fail at the exact same time, you need to recover data by restoring a backup.

Error: The Boot Camp partition "/dev/disk0s3" used by Hard Disk 1 is not supported.

I installed Lion a couple of weeks ago, and had Parallels 5 installed, but it would no longer run. Unfortunately, I spent the money to upgrade to Parallels 6 prior to seeing the advice to get Lion to run with 5. Oh well. But now, it won't run with 6 either. What to do?
Here;s the error again:
The Boot Camp partition "/dev/disk0s3" used by Hard Disk 1 is not supported.

You should be able to do this using the Boot Camp Assistant app. There is an option to "Restore the startup disk to a single volume". That should eliminate the Boot Camp partition without harming your Mac OS partition. Even so, make sure you back up your Mac OS X partition data before you do this, just to be safe.

In PSE will I use more hard-disk space by using iPhoto plus Organizer for photos?

I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library. I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space. I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

For information my iPhoto is v 9.5.1 and would seem not to like .dng files so won't load them (I am using the Adobe RAW to DNG 8.3 Converter at the moment mainly because I would have to upgrade to PSE12 to get the RAW plug-in to process my Lumix G-6 RAW files, which is fairly expensive and, even then, my iPhoto would still be the same version unless I upgraded that as well!).
I can load the RAW files onto iPhoto but when I then send them to PSE or iPhoto itself for editing they seem to be automatically converted to .jpg and do not have the usual RAW editing selection palette. However, the PSE Organizer seems happy to accept the .dng files (but not the RAW files) and when sent to PSE for editing I do get the RAW type palette, so it looks like storing my .dng files in Organizer is a good idea and, therfore, I might as well store other photos there as well rather than run two different organizers - I will leave the photos in Bridge as they are.
If you are talking about photos not in iphoto, this is correct. If you use "from iPhoto" you will get automatic duplicates of the originals in a new location. If you export them manually and use from files and folders, yes, the organizer just makes a thumbnail.
This paragraph made me think! I'm pretty sure that when I decided to transfer my photos from iPhoto into PSE Organizer I used "from iPhoto" as this seemed the easiest way. Does this mean that I have duplicated the file size of my iPhoto library and am therefore using much more hard-disc space than if I had used "from files and folders" (getting just thumbnails)? The transfer seems to have pulled in a lot of folders! If this is the case, is there any way to go back and do it again but "from files and folders" next time?!
This is all rather complicated it would seem (or I'm making it that way!) and I really appreciate your help.

Using two hard drives with Boot Camp?

Hi,
I have two hard drives in my mac pro. They both show up on the mac side but when I use windows only the one shows up. Is there a way to have access to the second hard drive using windows?

You need to install a product like MacDrive. This will enable Mac OS Extended format support for Windows. Be aware that if you do something like this all of your Mac files and OS will be vulnerable to Windows "issues" such as viruses and spyware etc. It is NOT recommended.

Details needed for using two hard drives with one iTunes library

I posted this under the iTunes section but now that I think of it, it's more of an Apple TV question since I'm only concerned about how it affects my 2 ATVs.
I have a MacMini(G4) that acts as a media server for our 2 ATVs. I use one library on the Mini which has been using an external 750GB drive. However, I'm at nearly 95% capacity now and want to invest in another external drive and use both. So the question I posted on the iTunes section was...
"With far too much content in iTunes (mostly for the Apple TVs) and after reading numerous posts about using external hard drives with iTunes I'm convinced that using two external drives is my best solution.
However, I did want to understand a bit more about the details of how iTunes will manage or at least keep track of, the media. Specifically, I'm thinking of the case were I add a movie to iTunes library (of course it will not copy the file into the iTunes folder).
What will occur if I later change any of the tags for the movie (e.g., name, genre, year, etc.). Will iTunes update this information and then update the Apple TVs once they resync with the iTunes library?"
So for the very knowledgeable folks here on the ATV section, what exactly does iTunes do in this case? Will my genres be updated correctly if I change something even though the content is not copied to the iTunes folder?

If you want to use two external drives to store your itunes content, there are a couple of ways you could go about it.
You could choose to have just movies (for example) on one HDD and everything else on the other. You could further choose to have your itunes music folder on one HDD and have all content copied to it by default. When it comes to movies (in this example) you can place these on your second HDD and add them to itunes by using OPT-drag, which will temporarily disable itunes from copying the file to your itunes library.
You could also entirely disable disable itunes copying files to your itunes music folder from the itunes preferences and manually manage all your content.
Personally I'd just buy a 2 TB (for example) drive and ebay your old drive once you have moved everything from it to your new one.

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Using 4TB hard disk

Hi, I have a HP X1600 G2, then I bought 12 x 4TB hard disk for increasing the disk space for this unit.
What I want to do is using the hardware array to configure the following:
3 x 4TB RAID-5 plus 1 Spare to create 3 Logical Drives.
Then Spanned set it to a total of 24TB drive within the system.
Is it going to be work, or not?
As I read the article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773268(v=ws.10).aspx
Said to use 2TB drive to be able to get a 64TB in total.
Thanks in advance, Fortuno

Thanks Shaon,
Yes, after I setup on the RAID controller, with GPT on the hard disk, I am able to create the spanned set for 24TB on the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 that comes with the unit.
Thanks again!

If an iPod is in "use as hard disk" mode, could I drag and drop songs to it

After countless attempts to sync my iTunes into this iPod I just obtained, with iTunes, Finder, sometimes both programs hanging and freezing up, since I pick "use iPod as hard disk" as an option, couldn't I just drag and drop my iTunes tracks into the iPod via just a pair of Finder windows? I mean if it can work like a USB drive, I think it wouldn't be impossible to do the same with my songs, since they are just files as well, since I am having such a horrible ordeal syncing this iPod. I am on the verge of my 6th Restore in almost as many days and at best I could load songs into it one by one, but sometimes it would even balk for the most curious reasons such as:
song running over 5 1/2 minutes in length
song consisting of mp3 I d/l-ed elsewhere independent of iTunes Store
song purchased from iTunes a very long time ago
the 4th or 6th song in a row being synced, no matter the type
I have little idea why this iMac is giving me so much guff, as my sister has the same model that works without complaint for her.

Curses, foiled again! Maybe you additionally have an idea why my 4th gen 20 GB iPod seems to make Finder, iTunes, and occasionally Disk Utility hang and stop responding when all I am trying to do is attempt to make the iPod work as designed ie: accept my iTunes songs, keep them and have them available for playback. It is fully charged, yet most of the time it chokes when I am trying to Restore it, so every time I do manage to restore it, it takes about 4 or 5 incremental attempts of completing Restore until I get it going again. Then I am only able to get it running by manually loading the songs one track at a time until I get up to about 30 or so and it unravels upon my attempts to put all of them on, even adding them manually one song at a time.

Targeted Disk mode only shows one of two hard disks...

Got a new computer to transfer old info to from my dual g4 1 gig mirrored. When i set in targeted disk mode only one hard drive shows up. I confirmed both are set to cable select and only the master is showing. If I swap the drives the master is the only one that will show up. Any ideas on how to get both showing up at the same time?

Only the Master drive can be used in Target Disk Mode. See

For those of you using two hard drives..........

I have two hard drives, and really want to set them up properly so that logic is running on the main drive, and the secondary drive is for audio/samples etc. So for those of you that have done this, what is the best way? Specifically -
1. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder need to go on the secondary drive?
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive? Is it just a matter of moving them and then redirecting logic when it can't find the files?
Your input on the best way to utilize two drives is most appreciated - what has worked for you, and what hasn't.

. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder
need to go on the secondary drive?
Leave the instruments folder where it is, and put your samples folder on the external drive.
You can alias the instruments folder to whereever you want, but you don't really get any performance advantages doing so.
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you
re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive?
Two things to note - you don't need to do anything. When the EXS24 loads an instrument, if the samples are not at the location specified in the instrument, it will search for them, and when it finds them, it will write the new location back to the instrument so next time it won't have to search.
So, if you've moved your sample folders, the first time you access an instrument it will take some time to load while Logic hunts for the samples. Subsequent loads of that instrument will be as fast as ever.
Now, you can use the Project Manager (or Redmatica's EXSManager) to do this relinking for you across multiple instruments or your whole library.
In the PM, do an expanded scan. Then, select your instruments, and choose the "resolve samples" function - Logic will relink instruments with their samples and update the instrument files with the new locations. This can take some time with a big library.
Any more questions, post back.

Time Capsule use as hard disk only

Can I use my Time Capsule as hard disk only?
Since I have an iPod, iPad, iPhone I intend to save and all my files, including my itunes media in one place and easily access it wireless trough Time Capsule.
If the answer to my question is yes Can I have a setp by srep explanation...
I came a few articles and youtube videos but so far not been able to do it

If you want to have internet, then the TC has to be connected to your modem or router..
The TC can create its own wireless network. But then you have one wireless network for internet and another one for TC hard disk access.. And you cannot combine them.
So the best way is to bridge the TC.
Steps are simple.
Download 5.6 utility and install it. (you can probably do it from v6 but it has fewer controls and options).
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to manual setup, and click the internet tab.
Go to connection sharing down the bottom.. choose off bridge mode.
Update the TC.
Now plug it into the main router by ethernet.. and the TC will be part of the existing network but not interfere with it.
Wireless should be ok.. but if you need to you can also turn off wireless.
There are several posts with pictures.. I will try and find one for you.
