What format should I use for Maxtor One Touch III external hard drive

I'm not sure if I'm on the right forum section, but hopefully you can help. I just got a Maxtor One Touch III external hard drive with the firewire 400/usb 2.0 port. I installed the cd and followed the manual and it told me to format it. I went to disk utility and went to the "erase" section, but now it wants me to choose the type of format: mac os extended (case-sensitive), mac os journaled, mac os (case-sensitive, journaled) and so on.... Can anyone tell me what those formats mean/do, and what is the best one to use? Thanks!

Case sensitive is really if you are using some old UNIX programs that you have brought the source over to OS X and compiled them. And the UNIX programs have to expect a case-sensitive file system.
I'm betting this isn't the case... or you'd know what a case sensitive file system is.
So go with HFS+ Journaled

Powerbook 15" w/ Tiger won't read Maxtor One Touch II External Hard Drive

Hi all:
For some reason my G4 Powerbook can't recognize my Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive. I am trying to find a firewire cable that fits, as the Maxtor just gave me a USB and says that the cable won't work with mac. I am trying to find a cable that has a "printer type" end and a firewire end. Will it help? Where do I find it?
Thanks,
Chris

No the printer type end, won't work in Mac OS X either. The software that is included with One Touch does not work well on Tiger or later. Instead I recommend not using that software, and instead using Shirt Pocket Superduper for backup. Or look for EMC/Dantz to update the drivers for the included software to Tiger. I think the One Touch does have a Firewire 6 pin connector which is Mac compatible. These ports look like the Firewire port on your G4 Powerbook. Port number 2 below is a Firewire port:
You can buy the cable from the Apple Store, or any major Mac mail order shop such as Macwarehouse, Maczone, Macconnection, or even CDW.

What format should I use for new FCP slide show to DVD project?

I want to edit a slide show movie. I have all of the high resolution images. I plan on authoring the project to DVD 16:9 anamorphic with DVD SP. Later I would like to author to 1920 x 1080 HD on Blu-Ray. ( I can't afford Adobe BR authoring software at this time, I want to start with the DVD) I am looking for advice. I want the quality of DVD and future Blu-Ray to be best possible quality. I'm thinking there are two options I might use:
1. Edit the FCP project in HD 1920 x 1080. Use Compressor to convert the sequence to 16:9 anamorphic for DVD SP input. I am thinking I will have the HD sequence ready for the Blu Ray in the future. I like this approach. Is the conversion possible with compressor? What exact format and frame rate should I use for the FCP project?
2. Edit the FCP project in 16:9 Anamorphic. Compress for DVD SP input. I am not fond of this option. I don't look forward to making rectangular pixel images in Photoshop for one. That will be a lot of work for this project. I won't have an HD sequence ready for Blu Ray in future, I will have to start a new project from scratch to make the HD version.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Edit in a 1920x1080/30p Pro Res sequence settings.
Export that to a self contained movie current settings, and use which ever SD DVD preset to encode for use in DVD SP.
The self contained movie can eventually be used in Adobe Encore for blu ray authoring.
But having "high resolution" images/photos means nothing in video.
1 dpi is sufficient at 1920x1080 unless you plan to pan and zoom, in which case double the pixel size, not the dpi.
300 dpi produces no better image than 1 dpi.

What format should I use for video in Director 11.5.9?

I'm running Director 11.5.9 on Windows7, 64 bit with Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.4GHz with 16 GB RAM.
I'm trying to insert some videos into an existing Director program written in 640x480 rez. A QT movie looks awful at full screen. AVI doesn't run at all. Some mpeg xtras no longer work with Director 11, so what formats do I have available to work with in Director 11?
Thanks.

Hi,
all this, with the exception of the Maxtor software, should indicate a no-problem with that HD.
Personally I have always avoided the provided software, since it is not needed for external HDs.
If you have access to a Windows PC try connecting the HD there and see what comes up.
And if you don't have valuable files on that HD, you might repartition it there as well.
Could be a rare case of a 'dynamic disk' http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314343/en-us which is something that Macs can't handle.

What format do I use for internal drive?

I want to install a new internal harddrive into my Macbook. What format should I use for it?
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
MS-DOS (FAT)
ExFAT
I know MS-DOS(FAT) is what I should use for external to work on mac and windows. Can't remember which to use for the internal. I have an Intel-based Mac.
Thanks for your help.

I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE on MacBookPr0?

Need more Ext HD storage for iTunes on my MBPro Is anyone using a MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE this drive on MacBookPro, is it any good? Advise

The Maxtor one-touch models, comes with a EMC Retrospect startup item to run its backup software. I tend to disable this functionality, as it often is not updated for the operating system actually being run and can cause problems with setting up. Instead, I use Shirt-Pocket Superduper for backing up. I'm not sure the Maxtor is bootable on a MacBook Pro, but when you first get it, you'll want to reformat it with Disk Utility to have a GUID partition for optimized backing up for the MacBook Pro.
If you plan to use it with a Windows machine, you'll not be able to use it for full backing up, but at least data files will store on it, if you format it FAT32. Your alternative is still to format it GUID, but get MacDrive by Mediafour for your Windows machine to be able to read the drive, or network it use the built-in networking of the Mac as described here:

HELP Maxtor One Touch III 1TB External Fails after upgrade to 10.5.7

Hello,
I was using a Maxtor One Touch III for my iTunes music (over 400gb) and when I upgraded to 10.5.7 last week my Intel Mac Pro froze several times, causing me to hard power down the computer.
My External drive now makes a clicking noise when it starts up for about 30 seconds, then stops, power light stays flashing. It does not mount.
I have tried Disc Utility (repaired permissions and repaied main internal drive after update), Disc Warrior and now Data Rescue II. All are not seeing the external, and I have tried it via both firewire and USB.
I see other people are experiencing this with other drives, has anyone had this issue with an external like mine? I had over 400GB of music, movies, etc on this 1TB drive.

ok here's where I'm at with this debacle.
I've checked my internal disk for reduncancy and have decided just to wipe it, replaced it with a 1TB SATA and used time machine to roll my data back on there. That will take care of the freezing, etc. I also had some issues with some of the 14GB of RAM I had installed (6GB of it was not "Mac Approved" but worked), but I think helped caused this issue of freezing with the update. So now down to 8GB of RAM (nuts!)
As for my external maxtor. I took apart the enclosure and mounted the SATA drives internally in my mac pro, then used Data Rescue II to get what remaining items I could off of one of the drives. The other drive is toast and just continues to keep clicking, etc. I thought by eliminating the maxtor power supply and mounting it internally I may have better luck. Not so much.
To your question about reporting to apple- I spoke to several tech specialists I know very well @ Apple and all were very helpful but most agreed that once the drive begins clicking and not mounting, there is a good possibility of your data having been lost. So aside from using a "Data Recovery" company and exhausting thousands of dollars, I am resolved to the fact I will just take the music I was able to recover (about 1/3rd of what was lost) and Ill spend the next few months scanning in discs I have, and contact apple about re-downloading purchases.
Moral of the story- BACK UP YOUR DATA! I had everything else (other than my 400+GB of music) backed up in about 3 places including time machine. Thank GOD since I have 250 GB of photos which I wouldnt be able to fathom losing.
If you had the same problem and were able to resolve I am envious, so far this has taught me not only to back up EVERYTHING but not to jump on the update bandwagon until all of the bugs are gone.
In the process I have lost hours of time but was able to learn more than I ever wanted to know about hard drives.
Keep us updated if you get resolution.

Mac Book Pro MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

Need more Ext HD storage for iTunes. Is anyone using a MAXTOR ONE TOUCH III 1TB 1000GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE this drive on MacBookPro, is it any good? Advise

That drive is fine. No reason not to use it.

I want to format my hard drive so i can have files bigger than 4GB what format should I use?

I have a new hard drive that I want to format so it will work with both mac and PC (windows) but I have files that are bigger than 4GB, what format should I use?
It needs to work with both PC and mac because I need to go between two computers etc

If both of these computers are connect to the same router, both are in your home or place of work (Both are in the same location), it is very easy to Network them so you don't have to use DropBox or the external drive to share files between them.

yea thanks for that, i have drop box so i use that for some of my smaller files. Im just new to the mac so this is all a learning experince thanks for all your help everyone!

What method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width

I have a four table. Only one table which are on top have a table header. I want that when user resize the topmost table with a mouse other table colume also be resized automatically. So I want to know that what method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width.
Thanks
Lalit

maybe you can implement a interface ComponentListener as well as ComponentAdapter with your topmost Table.
for example:
toptable.addComponentListener(
new ComponentAdapter(){
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){
table1.setSize(....);
table2.setSize(....);
/*Optionally, you must also call function revalidate
anywhere;*/
);

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

What t_code should be used for migration?

Hello there,
our user wants to migrate "output vat" account after being audited.
actually , they start using SAP from 1st. January.2009 but now needs to migrate for reconciliation purpose.
Journal should be 40) output VAT / 50) Beginning Balance-BS.
Since this output VAT does not need any tax code and base amount, i think normal FI transaction like F-02 is not an answer.
Furthermore, LSMW is not strongly recommended at this time, considering line item to be created.
Could you let me know what t_code should be used for this case?
BR.

Hi
Note down the G/L accounts you are posting.
Option 1 :In OBD4 see the account group. change the tax category mandatory to optional field for running the lsmw. afte completion, set the status as earlier.
Option 2: goto fs00-> see the field status group.-> double click on the FSG-> see the taxes -> make the fields optional.
with regards

Maxtor One Touch III won't Mount

Similar problem to others. Hard drive won't mount on computer despite being able to identify it within the Airport utility. I have tried numerous suggestions already listed including: Hard Resetting multiple times the Express, Reformating Hard Drive, Restarting computer, Using different computers. My external hard drive WILL MOUNT if I do a direct USB connection into the computer.

I just set up my new AirPort Extreme Base station,
and I can confirm that it DID mount my 500 GB Maxtor
One-Touch III which I purchased this week.
I am using 'n' only on 5GHz.
I had to open up the AirPort Disk Utility. Then a
window popped up asking for a password. I used the
password that I set to make changes to the Airport
base station - NOT the password you use to access the
network.
I am copying stuff to it now. I was hoping it would
be faster, to be honest. 2GB has taken 13:30 to
transfer. According to my math....thats about
2.5MB/sec.
Thank you for the response. I am unfortunately am not asked for a password. I am not however using your configuration as I have an older laptop that does not have a 'n' card.
