Which hard drive brands does Apple use in the iMac G5?

I am wanting to replace the Western Digital hd that came in my iMac G5. I know that some iMacs have Maxtor hds built in and yet others Hitachi drives.
I was wondering whether anoyone has a Seagate drive...I usually use Seagates, however I was told they are running really hot. Not what you need in an iMac G5.
My WDC drive usually runs at 52.5C...how hot is yours running?
Cheers,
Jurgen

Hi Rod,
Since Coriolis have open tickets with both Apple and WDC, there is hope that, at one point, Apple will honour the problem and exchange the drive(s).
I will likely not buy a new drive in the meantime since I learnt that the SATA drives are totally different from the ATA drives...in other words, the WD drive would end up in a drawer since it is incompatible with the hd enclosures [Oxford 911 chips] I have.
In summary, my panic since November [or since Drive 10 in 2001] was justified...the time wasted was incredible. Without DiskWarrior, I would have re-loaded the operating system several times. Great piece of software. Now I am confident that the OS X update combo will resolve the current systems problem. If not, I simply re-install. Just have to defrag the WD drive using the inferior DriveGenius.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Jurgen

Iphoto library on external hard drive now does not show all the photos when i access it from macbook

i backed up iphoto library to an external hard drive. Deleted photo library on the macbook. After transferring some new photos to macbook from a camera, when i access the iphoto library on external hard drive only the new photos show up. Originals are still in files, but don't appear when opening iphoto library on external hard drive.

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Hi - my Imac's hard drive keeps starting and stopping, when the imac is idle. The Imac is working perfectly otherwise. Any ideas?

Hi my 4 year old Imac's hard drive keeps starting, whirring briefly, then stopping, when the machine is asleep. Doesn't do it when in actual use. The Imac is working perfectly otherwise. Any ideas?

Gracias mi amigo; there are a lot of options on the side bar in console, but I think I can see the issue - calendar agent - thousands of entries, all identical. Recently installed outlook 2011, so ? conflicting with Ical?

3 months old MBP & hard drive crashes - Does Apple really cares????

3 months old MBP hard drive simply crash and died on me, when sent to Apple centre the lady only concern is why didn't I purchase a apple care protection plan. Telling me other failures may result in costly replacement of parts and long lead time after warranty period. It seems to me Apple really cares is to make money and more of it.
I have been using PCs all my life, when the whole world was trying to stop me from getting a MAC. I went ahead believing that Apple have taken steps to improve their product. All my previous laptops works perfertly fine for at least 3 years. My reasoning is MBP cannot be such a lousy product that cannot last that long. Or is Apple confirming the truth that their MACs will not last their users anything more than 1 year thus encouraging users to buy additonal warranty.
The question is "Is Apple product so unreliable that we have to buy additional protection plan from day 1"
I hope some one can give me some answers, it is not about the money but the data that stores inside that has become too damaging for my business.

"Is Apple product so unreliable that we have to buy additional protection plan from day 1"
By no means. Don't take some salesperson's attempt to push AppleCare on you as any indication other than her personal opinion. Sometimes things break. It's unfortunate, but it happens. If things didn't fail, we wouldn't need warranties at all. And with electronic devices it's more likely to happen early in their life than it would be later. I might point out that Apple buys hard drives from the same companies that every other computer manufacturer does, so the hard drives have exactly the same chance of failure in a Mac as they would have in any other computer. And you have a one-year warranty on your computer so having the extended warranty at this point is irrelevant.
s Apple confirming the truth that their MACs will not last their users anything more than 1 year thus encouraging users to buy additonal warranty.
No more than any other company that sells an extended warranty for their product is saying that. If you want to purchase an extended warranty, it's up to you. The majority of computer owners, for almost any brand, never have need for a warranty at all, much less an extended warranty. But out-of-warranty repairs can be expensive enough - and again, this is true of any computer, particularly laptop computers where the components tend to be more expensive - that many people opt for extended warranties to ensure that for the duration of the extended warranty there will be no unexpected failures and consequent costs. It's like buying fire insurance for your house; the likelihood that your house will catch fire is small, but the cost involved if you don't have insurance is so great that I'd wager you do indeed have fire insurance if you own a house.
it is not about the money but the data that stores inside that has become too damaging for my business.
That's why you make backups. Any hard drive can fail. Or your laptop might get lost or stolen which would of course not be Apple's fault nor the fault of any of their component suppliers.

Do you have any problem with your current mkinitcpio setup, or why do you ask this?
If it works with the defaults, it's probably a good idea not to mess with it.
Okay, that's that and now for the adventerous part...
Here's a minimal setup that works for me:
MODULES="pata_hpt37x sd_mod jfs"
HOOKS="base udev"
You'd probably need to use pata_atiixp instead of pata_hpt37y, and whatever filesystem you use for / instead of jfs. In case you use encryption, lvm etc., take care to include the necessary hooks.

Is it possible to restore a 3TB Fusion hard drive to its original configuration on the imac late 2012?

Hi,
i have a Late 2012 imac running on Mavericks. I have been struggling to get boot camp to partition my drive in preparation for Windows dual boot.
i found this doc:
http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-part ition-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive
I proceeded to follow but had no success in the final results. I decided to try and revert my Fusion drive back to it original configurations. (one drive)
After following the docs above i had 3 partitions on my hard drive:
Macintosh HD
WIN
MacBonus
I then tried to remove my WIN partion and it turned blue indicating the drive was full. I am now unable to remove this partition i also deleted the MacBonus partition and now that space seems to have completely gone from my mac and i do not seem to be able to repartition this remaining space.
I basically have made a pigs ear out of this and am very confused as to what to do.
Can i revert my Fusion drive back to its factory settings and then re-install a fresh copy of my OS Mavericks on to it?
Any feed back from you pros would be really appreciated
many thanks Paul

Actually, I got a solution from Apple Care's senior advisors, and wanted to see if it'd still be useful to share =]
Here it is:
Go to Terminal under OS X Internet Recovery (Cmd-Opt-R)
Enter - diskutil CoreStorage list
Identify disk's numeric serial number
Enter - diskutil CoreStorage delete <serial number>
After this, open Disk Utility again and a box should pop up asking if you want to fix the drives in red text.
Fix, then reinstall OS X.

Which market segmentation does Apple use for the iPhone?

What SSD brand/model that use in the iMac 2011 model?

I am thinking get the New iMac that release couple days ago. I wonder what SSD brand/model that they are using? I don't want to pay $600 for some crappy SSD.

Apple always uses the crappiest components in their computers. This assures that they constantly fail and fall apart within days.
What sort of goofy question is this? Go to an Apple store, find a demo, open System Profiler to find out.

Hard Drive replacement does not let HP System Recovery execute.

I have a HP Pavillion HP3 (H8-1114) and I want to replace the hard drive on the machine. However when I try to run a System Recovery from the HP Recovery Dvd's I created using the HP software that came with the PC, it tells me that the Hard drive size does not match, and the recovery process fails. As much as I hate to say that I don't want to live off a bare Windows 7 Image, and drivers.
What I Am trying to do is: downgrade from the 1TB hard drive to a 250gb hard drive due to the fact that after using the computer for 2 years the Operating System has failed me more than 5 times, and rather than wiping the entire 1TB hard drive, I just wipe off the 250GB hard drive, reinstall from recovery discs, and when I have Windows up and running, then let apps know where everything is. (Example, I have Steam, and when ever I used to do restores on my old PC I just tell steam that certain games are located on another hard drive, Windows Libraries, {Music, Videos, Photos} etc. etc. etc.)
is this possible or AM I going to have to back files up and restore them everytime I have to do a system restore? What if the stock hard drive really fails and I can't install the operating system I bought with my HP computer into the new hard drive because it just won't do it? And is it possible to tell the recovery software to just use a partition in the hard drive instead of having to wipe the entire drive and continue the recovery process?

Since the HP Recovery discs will not install on a hard drive that is smaller then a predetermined size, I would consider recovering the HP OS (using the HP Recovery Discs) to a 1TB. After the OS is on the 1TB, it can be shrunk and "cloned" to your 250 GB hard drive. Once this is done and all the drivers are update and all the software is installed, you can create a "system image" that can be restored to the hard drive at a later date.
This way you don't have recover the OS, update the drivers, and install all your software everytime the system craps out on you.

I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
So you may not need to install Windows at all.
