What flash drive will work with OSX version 10.4.11

I have a 2003 i mac OSX Version 10.4.11 with thousands of songs and pictures that I want to back up to save or transfer. The flash drives and external hard drives I have looked at all say they only work on OSX version 5+. What is the best way to save my music and photos?

I'm not sure why a flash drive would say 10.5 and up for the Mac OS. I have three, one bought in January 2012, and they work on all our Macs with USB ports going back to a G3 minitower from 1998 running 10.3.9 to which I added a USB expansion card. Works the same on that relic as it does on our newest iMac quad-core i7
Virtually all flash drives come formatted for Windows. You can leave that formatting to have a cross-platform device if needed or, if you never plan to use it on anything but a Mac, you can use Disk Utility in your Applications folder to reformat as Mac Extended (Journaled), which is how your iMacs hard drive is likely formatted

    Hej
    iMovie'11
    iMovie History 08, 09 & 11These are NOT AN EVOLUTION FROM Previous versions (iMovie 1 to HD6) but a totally new application.
    iMovie 08 (v7) 7.1.4 (aug 2007)
    • A new way of storing project and an event library as well
    • A totally new product in a pre-release state. Far from a working application.
    • Lacks even basal functions
    • No Speed-up or down or reverse
    • Lot’s of video-formats lacking
    • No cont. TimeLine - Bad logic
    • No good for interlaced SD-video from miniDV tape aimed to a DVD release.
    (Discarding every second line makes quality as VHS in LP or EP mode = BAD)
    • NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    • Color tools got much BETTER - nearly usable - even sort of a copy function
    • Direct share to .Mac and YouTube
    • More Cameras supported even AVCHD (need of Intel CPU)
    • Do not run on G4 or older - G5 minimum
    • Need of 1.9 GHz G5-Mac,
    (Can run on 1.8GHz G5 iMac if installed on external boot hard disk and speedier Mac - can’t install directly)
    • Mac OS X.4.9 minimum
    • QuickTime 7.2 included
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)
    • Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
    • Pic in pic, green screen but rudimentary
    • Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
    • Speed-up/down and reverse
    • Bl/W, Old age etc
    • Still - No Continuos TimeLine
    • NO - Possibilities to enhance by use of third-part Plug-ins (all investments lost)
    • NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x - 9.0.4 (2011 july)
    • Will be - Intel Only
    • Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
    YES
    • Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
    • True Story-board - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
    • Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubber-band - Yes
    • Trailer creating tool
    • ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
    • Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
    • More Camera support e.g. 24fps
    NO
    • not 64-bit only
    • The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
    • Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line - Questionable - Some indicates it to be able to loss-less Exports - Has to be proven
    • Plug-in facility ? - NO
    • No free text tool
    • Tool to mask an identity e.g.. band over face or un-sharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
    • Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refer to a totally different
    thing connected to Story-board and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie

  • What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    The reason you're seeing this is that you have somehow gotten an outdated copy of Mail on your system.  One possible reason is that you moved Mail out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder), in the process preventing it from being updated.  You'll want to put Mail back directly in the Applications folder if this is the case.  The other possibility is that you have somehow installed, restored or copied an old copy of Mail on your machine.
    In either case, as long as Mail is in the right place, applying the combo updater will update Mail to the current version.  Software Update cannot do that because Software Update sees that you are using the current version of the OS and believes there is no need to update, while the combo updater "forces" installation of all updated files.

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

  • I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

    Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

    Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
    Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
    If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

  • What external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL running Windows 7

    Hi,
    When in Spain I need to use dial up to the internet via Telefonica.

    What external modem will work with the L500-1XL running Windows 7 ?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi
    Youre right Satellite L500 doesnt have an internal modem so you need an external one.
    I think you can buy every modem that is at least compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your authorized service provider or favorite computer dealer

    It's rather difficult to recommend a drive....
    What drives did you already try?
    Are you trying to use the SuperRaid drives?
    Do you need a normal 2.5" drive or mSATA drives?
    Honestly, any drive should work, it just may not work perfectly. For instance, Samsung 840 Pro drives are known to only operate at SATA II speeds, even when installed in the SATA III slot.
    Any Sandforce 2281 based drive should work fine. Intel 520 series should work well, along with 530 as well.

  • What racing wheels will work with my iMac for F1:2013?

    I'm trying to find a racing wheel that will work with my 1-year new iMac that doesn't cost >$200 that I can use with F1:2013.
    I have an old USB Xtreme Racingwheel for PS3 & PC. The steering part works but none of the buttons or pedals work or will re-map inside the game.
    I've looked at the RacingSimWay S1 racing wheel, but like everything else I find, it only lists Windows requirements.
    Suggestions?

    Hello,
    Have you tried installing an emulator on your mac, configure your xtreme racing wheel and then running the game with it. Worked for me in a flight simulator for a joystick but in principle should work with the wheels too, maybe 'Joystick Mapper'?
    Hope it helps

  • What wireless printer will work with ipad2?

    I am looking for a wireless printer that will work with ipad2?

    Those that will work without any additional apps (the printer and iPad juset need to be on the same wifi network) are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 - i.e. they are AirPrint enabled
    Some printer manufacturers also have their own apps in the store which add support to more models, and there are also third-party printer apps in the store (but an AirPrint enabled printer would probably be better as you don't need additional apps for them).

  • Will office 2011 or 2008 work with osx version 10.8

    I just upgraded to osx version 10.8 and now my microsoft office word and excell are useless-do I have to purchase moffice 2011?

    I've got a couple of niggy small problems with 2008 but nothing anywhere near major enough to want to pay for an upgrade. I have the feeling it would work a little better had I installed it under Snow Leopard or Lion first rather than clean installing under ML but that's not worth the hassle for me at this point.

  • What hard drives are compatible with OSX Snow Leopard Boot Camp?

    Recently when the video card in my desktop Mac died, I decided to make some upgrades, one of them being the hard drive. After doing some research, I fixed on the Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5-Inch and had it installed at the same time as the new video card. I installed OS 10.6.8, opened up Boot Camp Assistant, set the partition sizes: 2.5 TB for my Mac side and 500 GB for the Windows. XP wouldn't install so I ordered Windows 7 and began trying to set up the Windows partition. Each time I tried, I got the same error -- Windows 7 couldn't install on the 500 GB partition since it was formatted GPT which was strange since when I looked at the partition inside of Disk Utility, it said NTFS. While troubleshooting, I came across the following:
    ・Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive.
    ・The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    ・In a 32-bit MBR world, a disk larger than 2TB is probably invalid, and different OS's and tools react wildly differently when this is forced beyond 2TB.
    I called Western Digital to confirm which of their drives were in fact compatible with Boot Camp and they replied since Boot Camp was a third-party application, they have no information on compatibility. They told me to call Apple to get the information. Before purchasing a new drive and sending back the 3TB WD, I want to be sure I know which specs to look for in a hard drive in deciding whether it is compatible with my machine. Any helpful advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are the specs for my Mac:
    2006 24" iMac 6,1 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    OS 10.6.8
    Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4

    Thanks for responding to my question. I guess I'm not sure I understand your reply though. I had no problem installing OS X on the 3TB WD Caviar Green and WD assured me that if I wanted to install only Windows 7 on it, there would be no compatibility issues. The problem lies with wanting the drive to be dual-bootable I guess via using Boot Camp (I know of no other way to go about it). The tech at OWC (where I bought the drive) said he had never heard of any problems with being able to install both Mac and Windows OS on the drive. In fact, he gave the same reply as yours: most hard drives should be able to work perfectly fine with your Mac. It's just that I can't get XP or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) to install on the 2nd partition, making the drive I have now not dual-bootable. The tech said 2TB hard drives were different and should solve the problem but when I asked him for any discernible spec I could look for in shopping for a replacement drive, he couldn't give me one, i.e. most drives should be okay. I have paid to have the 3TB installed and will have to pay to get the drive taken out and a replacement put back in -- I want to make sure whatever drive I put in this time allows me to have 2 partitions: one for my Mac OSX system and the other for my Windows enviroment (either XP or Windows 7).
    If there is a work-around not involving Boot Camp, please let me know. I thought the reason for using Boot Camp as opposed to Disk Utility to create the dual-bootable drive was the benefit of using Mac drivers on the Windows side.
    If there is another way, I don't understand why PC world made this blanket statement:
    "Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive."
