Windows 7 want do format my N9 ?!?!?

Hi
i got a new N9 (because the old one broke down) I tried to copy my mp3 collection to the phone...
But if I connet the phone via USB to my notebook (win 7 prof) and tell the phone to behave as mass storage, windows ask me if i want to format the new drive
If the phone works in "synchronisation" mode, I find a mediaplayer in my windows explorer, but with only 512 kb (KiloByte!!!) of free memory?
What I'm missing here?
I also installed Nokia Link
It also shows only 1 MB of free space and nothing on the device...
restarting don't change a thing

Windows 7 wants to format my HDDR500E04X external hard drive

I've been using a Toshiba HDDR500E04X external hard drive for over a year to back-up files. Today, I plug it in and Windows 7 tells me I need to format it before use - as if it were a brand new drive. I've tried unplugging and plugging several times, as well as rebooting the system, but nothing changes.
The drive hasn't been dropped or otherwise mishandled. Any ideas? I realize that if I format it now, all data will be lost.
Thanks,
John Z.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

Windows 8 installer doesn't want to format the boot camp partition

Hello,
I followed this instructions : http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/45898/how-to-install-windows-8-on-a-mac
All works but the installer doesn't want to format the boot camp partition, i click on "option" > "format", i wait like 3-4 seconds (so not enought to format 100Go) and then same error "Windows can't be installed on this partition".
Any idea ?
I have :
Macbook Pro 15'' 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5
Mac OS X v10.7.5
1 Drive : 320Go
1 USB KEY that i used to install osx lion, so i think it's not the problem.
1 Windows8 64 downloaded from my university, and it works on a PC.

I have the same issue. Dec. 2013 13" macbook pro with 1tb ssd. Windows 8 Pro (have the box/cd).
Why is it that I can find every computer problem I ever have in a thread somewhere where someone else had the same problem too....but the threads never have solutions. There should be a name for this phenomenon.

Check the iPod Hardisk, with DiskDiagnostic as posted here by tt2
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17776595#17776595
It wont fix your problem, but help us both, in troubleshooting, and reducing frivolous suggestions.
If your report says high Realloc or Pending Sector, then it's time to have your hardisk replaced.
Have a nice day!

Itunes not recognising my ipod and windows asks me to format

Itunes is not recognising my Ipod when I connect to my PC. I've been using it for 8 years so this is out of the blue. I get this flashing up:
"Microsoft Windows
You need to format the disc in Drive N before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
Bottom right of my screen
Safely remove hardware and eject media gives me the option to "Eject Apple iPod USB device"
I did that and now find my iPod has wiped all my stored items and I've had to reset date etc. Is this a Windows or an Apple problem?

I'm afraid I got so frustrated with the PC crashing that I threw in the towel and ordered an iPod touch this morning after tentatively syncing my mini iPad this first, with no problems, just in case it was the PC. Iv'e changed it to wifi syncing now as a further precaution.
If I can get the Classic to work again I can at least try to sell it as a functioning model.

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!

I want to format my external drive so that my new imac and my pc can read and write ,what should i do?

i want to format my external drive so that my new imac and my pc can read

Start by partitioning the drive as required for the Mac:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Now click on the Erase tab in the main menu, then select ExFAT from the Format Type dropdown menu. Click on the Erase button. This format is read/write on both the Mac and the PC. If you have a problem with it on the PC, then format the drive the same way using the Windows formatter.

Says I need to format disk in drive E: but I dont want to format it!

I recently needed to get a new hard drive because my Laptop would not start up, and from then when ever I put in a USB or SD card, it says that it needs to be formatted although it works perfectly fine on other computers. Is there anyway I can get it to
work on my laptop because I really do not want to format it. And it would also say that "the volume does not contain a recognized file system"
I have used a recovery tool but they don't recovery everything that I need.

Hello,
I'd ask in the Windows forum on Microsoft Community.

Bootcamp windows 7 startup kills formatting of ext esata drive

I have Lion and Bootcamp installed on my MacPro 8-core (2007 version). I have an external SansDigital esata 5 bay tower connected via a HighPoint Rocket PCI portmultiplier card. The tower contains JBOD disk for Mac OS X backups includind a 2TB drive for TimeMachine.
A crazy thing happens when I boot to Windows7 using Bootcamp. After my Windows session, when I reboot my Mac to Lion, the Mac formatted drive in the 1st bay of my esata tower becomes unreadable. I get an error message when booting that the drive is unrecongnizable and do I want to format, ignore or eject. It happens 100% of the time.
Now I have to remember to have the esata tower turned off before using Bootcamp to keep the 1st bay drive from being killed. I used the same hardware with SnowLeopard and Bootcamp with no issues for a few years. My Lion upgrade was a clean install.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Bud James

It might be that the fact Windows under BootCamp does not run in AHCI mode. It could be, the drive is not switching modes properly.
There is software on the net (AHCI Enabler) that patches the MBR for AHCI mode. The help file indicates, how to adjust the registry PRIOR to this operation. It also allows backup of the MBR, and restoration.

Why do you want to format your computer? That is a very 'Windows thing' to do but is not commonly done on a Mac.
What problerm are you trying to solve?

Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

NavarroSergio,
since you have a Late 2011 model, you can use OS X Internet Recovery to start fresh.
First, you’ll need to completely erase your internal disk. Boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (typically the first item in the list). On the right-hand side, click on the Erase tab. In the Format dropdown menu, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”; in the Name textbox, enter a name for the reformatted volume (“Macintosh HD” is typical). Press the Erase… button, and erase your disk. When the erasure is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Shutdown from the Apple menu.
The next time that you start up, OS X Internet Recovery will download your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X (either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3) from Apple’s servers, and then install it. When it finishes, you’ll again see the welcome video just like when you first got it. Fill in your relevant information as you did the first time, and when you log in for the first time, run Software Update to get back to 10.7.5.

I want to format FAT32

I have a hard drive in a USB enclosure and I need to format it FAT32 from my Mac. Can I do this and confirm that it's FAT32?
chris

First: Check to make sure MS-DOS (FAT) shows up, this is FAT16 NOT FAT32 as everyone says it is. I am 100% sure as I checked the block size on linux and windows.
This part can get very TECHY for some, so don't go any further unless you know what I am talking about.
If you are not seeing MS-DOS in the erase or partition tabs this means the MBR (Master Boot Record) has not been added to the Hard Drive. Doing so will ERASE everything.
Adding MBR (open disk utility):
1. Click your HARD DRIVE on left you want to format
2. Click Partition Tab
3. Click the "Volume Scheme" Pull down, Partition 1, 2 and so on.
NOTE: Before you begin, if you have a Firewire 800 Drive, i recommend you partition most of you space as Mac OS Extended. This is so you can take advantage of the Speed on FW800 and size of individual files. On a FAT32 partition you have a limitation on a single file size. If you are NOT doing video then this is not really a problem for you. I think the limit is 2GIGS per file in FAT32, on Mac OS Extended its unlimited.
4. Once you select a partition type you should see the "Options..." button enabled.
5. Click "Options"
6. Select "Master Boot Record", Click "OK"
7. Set your first partition to your larger of the two, (Example: 300gb to Partition 1, 200gb to Partition 2).
8. Select the Format you want under "Format" menu, do this for both partitions or a single partition if you choose to do a single FAT32 partition.
9. Click "Apple" when done, keep in mind this will erase everything on the drive
Tech Part: This may damage the drive if not used correctly. Be very careful what you type. BE WARNED!! I am not responsible for your damages.
1. Select the drive you want FAT32
2. Right Click the drive select Information (or press Apple+I)
3. Disk Identifier is what you are looking for, should be something like disk1s#
4. Right Click the drive select Unmount
4. Open a terminal (Application->Utilitiies->Terminal.app)
5. Type:
newfs_msdos -F 32 -v "MyDriveName" /dev/rdisk1s#
The drive should be the same exact name as you noted above, only with the "r" added to the beginning of the name.
Be sure to DOUBLE check everything, this will wipe the drive.
After running newfs_msdos, you can mount your drive by going back into Disk Utility right click the drive and select Mount.
Also, be sure the first step of checking if "MS-DOS (FAT)" is an available option. If it is not, you will get an error when running the newfs_msdos command on the drive when inside "Disk Utility" and repair will NOT work on the drive.
I hope this helps someone. As it took me a few hours of playing around to get this to work correctly. I still don't know why apple does not have FAT32 as an option yet you can do it via the command line.
