X2100 M2 hard drives missing power adapter part?

We just ordered a X2100 M2 with 2 250GB SATA hard drives. The system and hard drives came from two different vendors because of our procurement system. The hard drives are Sun branded, and they have the neat little pull lever on the front. They slide into the X2100 fine and lock into place. However, they are using the old style power connector, which does not match up to the X2100's new style power connecter. Is there supposed to be some sort of adapter that plugs into the drive's power pins? What is up with this?

What prong part? You mean the prongs to plug it into the wall AC socket? What can't you use the old one from the old adaptor?

Mac Pro 2008 Not Recognizing SATA Hard Drives After Power Failure...

So we recently had a weird power "outage" where the power still seemed to be surging some (my monitor was blinking wouldn't turn completely off until I yanked the plug on it), and to my dismay, when the power came back on, I started having boot issues with my Mac. Luckily I had a couple of identical dual-quad core machines sitting around (workgroup environment), swapped my hard drive into one of them, and was back in business on-the-fly.
However, I'm now trying to troubleshoot the faulty machine (qihout throwing parts at it yet) and am stuck at an impasse. With the hard drive of the secondary machine cross-installed into the one that got "hit" by the outage, I simply got the chime and then it stuck on the dreaded gray screen, and out of all the boot options, the only one that would get me a different result was to try to option-boot into the Startup Manager, which would still give me the gray screen but also a mouse cursor after about a minute. Zapped PRAM... reset SMU... even swapped CMOS battery... all to no avail.
So I started yanking things. Memory.. video card... and finally the one and only (swapped) hard drive. The last one did it, and I was finally able to option-boot, start up from the Installation CD, and ultimately, D-boot into the hardware tests on the CD. Ran both normal and extended tests and everything checked out fine, with no errors (and based on the potetnial error messgaes I read about, these tests check everything from the logic board to the power supply, and voltage across both).
Now I'm torn and not sure which route to go from here. Machine seems to operate relatively normally when booting from CD... all hardware tests pass... Super Drive works (not sure it that's SATA or PATA, but guessing the latter at this point)... it just won't take a hard drive (which I verified is fine in another computer), regardless of which of the 4 bays I put it in. I'm also hard presed to believe that the power outage/surges caused the SATA cable(s) to go bad yet nothing else, which still have me leaning towards SATA controller on the board or a power supply issue despite the fact the tests passed.
Thoughts, opinions, or comments... from experience or otherwise? Thanks in advance!

Look hatter. I'm not saying it doesn't, but "prevention" is not why I started the thread. It was to troubleshoot the already existing problem, and you suggesting I run out and drop a combined $1000 on UPS units for each of the five 2008 Mac Pros I still have in my department is neither contributory to the thread topic nor cost-effective just to (possibly) prevent another (what seems to now be) $10 cable issue yet another 6 years down the road. Thanks, though. :/
Well it wasn't the power supply, nor apparently the SATA controller (I don't believe at this point). I finally got the hard drive to recognize and boot again, but ended up having to use one of the two extra SATA connector ports on the board (which I can only assume are handled by the onboard SATA controller as well) and a 4-pin molex to SATA power adapter connected to the power output for the secondary optical drive. As such, It very well may just be the "Hard Drive Harness Cable", although I need to order a male to female SATA extension cable so I can hook the drive up directly to the data side of that the drive bay connectors to determine whether it's the data side or the power side causing issues. I'm again assuming power, since the extra SATA ports seem to work, I'm pretty sure the drive isn't spinning up fully, yet the bays obviously 'recognize' there's a drive in there (thus the gray screen when one is plugged in).
Anyway - I'll update when I get to that point, primarily for posterity's sake, as I found several "unresolved" gray screen threads on the web (and even in these forums) that sounded just like mine yet offered little ultimate help. In the meantime, does anyone want to speculate on whether it's the cable itself or maybe the SATA chain power plug on the board could be bad? It looks to be pretty close to the main power input connector on the board, so just wondering if (worst case scenario) something could have popped on the board between the two? Seems unlikely, but...
Either way, I can always work around it all if necessary by utilizing the same setup I got it to boot with.

Won't let me copy to hard drive post power surge

Ok, to make a long story short, I hope, I had an electrical fire (everyone's ok) that involved and destroyed my laptop's power cord and as part of that fun I seem to have had a power surge that has reset some of the defaults on my computer but not all. Some of the folders I created prior to the surge are gone, etc. The only real problem is that the permissions on my internal hard drive seem to have been reset. Below are the things it will and will not allow me to do.
-- I cannot copy files from a flash drive, cd or external hard drive to the internal hard drive. I get that circle with a line through it. Clicking and dragging, copy/paste, nothing works.
-- I can move stuff that is already on the internal hard drive from folder to folder.
-- I can save email attachments to the internal hard drive.
-- I can copy stuff from internal the hard drive to a flash drive, cd or external hard drive.
-- I can read the files on flash drives, cds or external hard drives, such as a movie file, just fine, they run without a glitch. The peripherals did not suffer any resets as a result of the fire/power surge. When it happened the computer shut down automatically and I think that saved the accessories from being damaged because the computer is the only thing that showed any changes after it happened.
And before someone asks, yes, I checked, I have 40 GB of HD space so it's not a space issue.
I right clicked on MAC HD and did the Get Info and looked at the details of the permissions on various files and tried shifting some of those around but even though it says Read and Write it still won't let me copy to the internal drive from other sources. Interestingly when I got to the User file it was marked Read Only but changing it to Read Write didn't help. Something I did once worked but then it stopped working so I have no idea what it was. I put everything back the way it was. Could somebody please help me? My computer is old and dieing a slow painful death but if I can make it last a little longer that will make my life so much easier. Please let me know if you need any system info or anything.
*Thank you!!*
PS. I'm not posting this on the peripheral thread because the problem isn't really the peripherals, it's the system not wanting to play nice with others, so that's why I put this over here.

Hi. It's not a dumb question, cause if it is then my answer is really stupid, what's a repair permission? lol I don't know what that is so I guess the answer is no, though I can guess from the name it's a program to fix permissions if the files get messed up? I knew how to change the permissions in Get Info but past that I was getting into things I don't know so I figured it was time to ask for help or I'd be on here asking how to un-erase a hard drive. jk So how would I do that and is there anything else I should do?
Sorry if my initial post was a bit defensive. I had a moderator give me flak over some minor thing on a post once and I was supremely frustrated with this problem. Sorry if it came out kinda angry. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Power Adapter Part Number

Have a HP G63-355DX (HP Product #XH068UA#ABA) that is missing the AC Power Adapter to charge the unit. I have found the specifications listing for the unit, but not the HP part number or the HP spares part number. The adapter is a 65W, 18.5V and possibly PA-1650-02H is mentioned when I try searching.
Can you provide the HP part and Spares (typically ending in -001) for this unit?

Hard drive missing

Hello there! Before making this post I searched for similar topics to see whether any of those suggestions could work for my case, but alas none have so it's time to post yet ANOTHER "can't find hard drive" post. Apologies if you're bored of these.
About a week ago my computer froze while running Safari. I took it as a normal freeze up and tried to Force Quit by going through the menu. Nothing happened so I shut it down using the Power button. I'd done it before and so didn't think much of it. Then a day or two later I turned it back on and got the lovely grey screen with the flashing question mark and two faces. I tried fixing the error w/ the installation disks, but when I click on the Disk Utility it doesn't read that there's a hard drive to format/repair. The installation CD is the only thing that it reads. I've also tried to just re-install the entire operating system even though I don't want to lose anything (I'm willing to do it though if that's the only way), but when asked to select the destination where to install the system, there's no hard drive to show. Nothing shows up. :o( I'm not that computer savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's my iMac G5 20" that is giving me issues. Bought it in late 2004, so it's one of the early models if that helps determine an effective way to fix!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Went and bought a new hard drive instead. It was hurting my head trying to figure things out and saw no point in buying software that may/may not help. The hard drive seemed pretty dead. :o(
Put the new hard drive in. The system install disc reads it (yaay!) but now I get the "You cannot install MAC OS X on this volume. You cannot start up your computer using this volume." sigh How do I fix THAT problem?
Keep in mind again, I am not that computer savvy. Could it be my version of Mac OS X that I'm trying to install? Is it too "old" for the new hard drive? Was considering upgrading to Leopard if this doesn't work out... if that's at all possible.
Help!

Hard drive and display adapter issues

My computer did a scan and repair of hard drive errors when I booted up today. After this happened the integrated graphics says its driver is currupted or missing and I can no longer change my resolution. I am now stuck in 4K.

Do a restore operation to a date before the error. Then do a malware/virus scan.

Time Capsule as a hard drive missing data

I've had a time capsule for a few years now, and have been using it both through Time Machine to back up my computer, and as an external hard drive to store photos and videos. The hard drive on my computer had been reaching capacity, so I sought to move my pictures onto the time capsule (as you would on a hard drive) and then proceed to delete the files from the hard drive on my laptop. I was doing this again last night and went to double check some photos I had stored a few months ago, only to find that I can no longer access them! The strange thing is, the file names of my lost photos are still visible, but I am unable to access them.
Can anyone help solve this? I don't want to continue to move photos onto my time capsule if it will continue to be unreliable for storing data. I may just resort to purchasing a separate hard drive for my file storage, and simply using my time capsule for time machine.
I am using a 2008 macbook and running snow leopard (OSX 10.6.8). I purchased my 1TB time capsule in 2010.

Can anyone help solve this? I don't want to continue to move photos onto my time capsule if it will continue to be unreliable for storing data. I may just resort to purchasing a separate hard drive for my file storage, and simply using my time capsule for time machine.
Conceptually I think there’s a tendency to view the Time Capsule as a kind of fail-safe storehouse for computer data, almost as if it were a traditional time capsule preserving physical objects for future generations, decades or even centuries later. In reality Apple’s Time Capsule relies on a hard disk drive that is pretty much the same as, and likely no better at preserving data than, the disk in your MacBook. Thus if you copy files to the TC and delete them from your MacBook, you're simply moving stuff around. You still only have a single copy of the files, and they’re still stored on a prone-to-failure hard disk drive. And in the process the basic backup function of the Time Capsule has been utterly defeated.
That has never stopped me from doing exactly what you’re doing, but I tend not to store anything on the TC except useless crap that I won’t miss too much when the TC disk fails, corruption or a read/write error occurs when connected to the TC, or the whole thing just burns up due to overheating. I gather you value your images and videos more highly than this, and consequently I think your idea about purchasing an external hard drive is probably sensible. If connected directly to your MacBook, it should provide more reliability and speed, and you can then also use Time Machine to back it up to your TC as well.
Unfortunately, I think the inaccessible zero KB files shown in your “2009” folder are gone, if they were ever really there. I wonder if when you copied them to the TC back on April 2 there was some kind of connection failure or write error that you didn’t notice, which aborted the process, leaving only these empty ghost entries behind in the disk’s index. In any event, it looks like there’s nothing there now.
You also seem to be running very low on disk space and might want to think about a new 2 or 3TB TC.

I need to replace one of my hard drives for Power Mac G5

Hi guys, I've been having some trouble turning on my computer. I found out that one of my hard drives (I have two) have been damaged. The damaged hard drive is 250 gigs. Its a MAXTOR hard drive and on the top right corner it says "DiamondMax 10" Then right below that... "250GB SATA150 HDD".
My second hard drive is fine, it has 150 gigs on it. However I am not able to start up my computer with that hard drive. Anyways, my real question is (or two questions)...
1) Is it possible to "upgrade" and get a hard drive that has more memory (such as 1tb) or would I need the same model to replace the bad hard drive?
2) Where can I find a replacement? Please list some sites or retailers.
Thanks guys

1) Is it possible to "upgrade" and get a hard drive that has more memory (such as 1tb) or would I need the same model to replace the bad hard drive?
You can move up to 2TB if you want to, as those are getting pretty reasonable at this point. I have had a few Seagate 1TBs in backup service for a while (SATA300 versions) and have recently moved all to 2TB Hitachis because the 2TB Seagates were not 7,200 RPM. The Hitachis have been so far a breeze, but I only have a couple of months on them at this point.
Concur with BD about the "avoid green" thoughts. The SATA300 drives I obtained have all been "plug and play" with no jumpers needed, so that's another plus.
2) Where can I find a replacement? Please list some sites or retailers.
All over the place. As to retailers, out here, Best Buy and Fry's have been good, but I don't know what you have in your neighborhood. Online are all sorts of vendors and perhaps even a little more price competition, but you should not be surprised by the price variance on the same items from different sites. One thing you can do is zero in on a candidate drive and then Google the part number for wider coverage.
BTW, are you talking hardware damage or directory damage?

Second hard drive missing thread error

Hello, I've got a macbook pro with 10.8.5 running. I have had a second 1Gb hard drive installed in the optical bay and it's been running for a long time with no issue. I booted up today and noticed the drive would not show up in finder. I ran disk utilities and it said there was a sibling link error and it suggested I repair the disk using disk utility. I ran disk repair and a new error popped up during catalog file check: there are 5 missing thread record (id = xxxx) errors and two "Incorrect number of thread record errors". Then it says the volume could not be verified completely and ultimately ends with Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk...disk, and restore your backed-up files. I noticed the volume name changed to disk1s2 and I can't mount it. Now I'm stuck. I looked at recommendations for more elaborate disk repair programs that can be purchased but I see so many negative recommendations on all of them I'm not compelled to purchase. I definitely need to recover the data on the drive so I am pretty disappointed at what disk utility seemed to do to the drive (it appears to me to be worse since the volume name is changed (before I ran disk utilities when I had the sibling error I saw that the volume name was correct) and I can't do anything with it.) I'm stuck and could use some good advice. This is not a boot drive just a data drive.
Also if anyone could say what this sibling error was and what the thread errors actually are that would be a bonus (I'm an old timer hardware engineer and just want to know )

Normally, those errors are WRT the disk's directory. You need something stronger, such as DiskWarrior, TechTools Pro, or Drive Genius. All of are reliable and should do the job. Disk Utility has many shortcomings and repairing disk directory errors is one of its biggest.

Motherboard crashed, hard drive missing LR and 100 gigs of photo files

able to save drive, put in ext ensclosure and hooked it up tp laptop. am able to open My Pictures folder, only 10 gigs worth of pics visible.
should be 126 gigs. most programs still on drive and accessible: i tunes, all canon photo software, etc. the LR catalog is nowhere to be found.
when this drive was in the desktop there was 25 gigs free space left. viewing the drive hooked up to laptop it also shows 25 gigs free.
wondering if this info is false. if not, where are my missing files and LR ???
i do have my stuff backed up but not sure if all of it backed up, specifically some photo files.
have tried booting from the drive instead of from laptop drive, windows would not allow. desktop was xps, laptop is vista. during that boot i actually saw the xps logo come up a couple of times but then it went to vista.
any help would be appreciated.
a tech friend suggested hooking drive up to his linux os which i am going to do this weekend.

Sounds like you have two problems. 1) Unable to load LR onto the second system (laptop) and 2) the hard drive with original system files has a corrupted file system due to motherboard failure and system crash.
Problem 1: LR license activation allows loading onto two (2) systems. Did you load LR on two systems prior to the crash, which is now preventing you from activating the copy on your laptop? You may need to call Adobe Tech Support to "free-up" the license on your crashed system.
Problem 2: You will need to some data recovery work, due to a corrupted file system on the original HDD. There are numerous data recovery software applications available as freeware or for purchase:
http://reviews.cnet.com/data-recovery-software/
I only have experience with Acronis True Image Home 2010, and definitely would NOT recommend their products due to bugs and poor tech support. Perhaps someone else on the LR forums can suggest a specific data recovery application?

T43 Hard drive missing in bios

Hi Everyone,
I got an "Operating system not found" error after restarting my thinkpad T43 laptop.
I checked the bios startup and hard drive was missing. so removed my hard drive and connected to desktop and was able to get all the files. Looks like my hard disk is fine.
I tried resetting the CMOS battery as well - didn't solve the problem.
Is there anything wrong with the motherboard?
What else do I need to check before making sure that motherboard is faulty?
Thanks in advance..
Raj

Three things I can think of:
a) HD disabled in BIOS (easy to check)
b) HD not sitting right in the caddy and/or slot
c) Defective/dirty/??? connector on the board
Check it out point by point and let us know...good luck.

Airport Utility Missing, Hard Drive Missing

I can longer find my hard drive on the new Airport Extreme AC. It worked when I first installed the
Airport Extreme AC, but now it is missing. I tried to use Airport Utility to fix it, but that program
is also missing.
I can't download 6.3.1 Airport Extreme because it won't work with Yosemite, and there is no
way for me to download another copy of Airport Extreme 6.3.2. I'm caught in a catch-22...
Any ideas?

Do you have another device in the network .. another computer.. any iOS devices.. you can use airport utility on any of those.
If yosemite has failed.. boot to recovery on the computer and reinstall your previous OS. You will find it works heck of a lot better than Yosemite for now.

Hard Drive Missing Space

Okay-so I just noticed that my hard drive has just 33.85 GB of space available for use.
The drive's capacity (after formatting etc) is 111.35GB
So, finder is telling me that 77.51 GB of hard drive is IN USE-okay, fine & dandy.
Problem is that using OmniDiscSweeper and Disc Inventory both show a max of 48GB IN USE which should leave 63GB available FOR USE, not 33. Both programs include/account for HIDDEN files.
So where is this mysterious 30ish GB of hard drive being used?
Trash has been emptied and even when I manually add up files in finder, I don't find the space either.
Permissions have been verified, the disk itself has been check for errors-nothing.
Sleepimage takes up just one gig so it's not there and it's not in the swapfile either.
There are no extra partitions (which is clear anyway since it shows 111 capacity).
I've searched for an answer all over the web but all I'm seeing is that people suggest looking at the hidden files (which are already accounted for by DiscSweeper) OR that it has to do with the byte conversion (1,000 vs 1,024) but that would only account for a percentage nowhere near 50%.
That's quite a bit of hard drive to be missing. Suggestions? I'd like to have that 30ish gb back.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
I've used WhatSize to look at hidden files and total files. Maybe try it to see if it pulls anything different. You need to use a version before 4.0 as the vendor crippled the program in demo mode. This one is 3.9: http://www.free-mac-software.com/whatsize/

Time Machine Hard Drive Missing

Specs: 1-year-old iMac (2.8 GHz i7 etc) running OS X 10.6.7.
Until a last week (and possibly this issue is related to my recent 10.6.7 update), my Firewire-800-connected external Lacie backup drive (2 Tb RAID) showed on the desktop faithfully. This is my Time Machine backup however I use it manually to safekeep various other files. Now it no longer shows up on the desktop and yet Time Machine still works fine, a clear indication that everything is connected + powered properly and there is data integrity.
Yes, of course I have checked the Finder Preferences to ensure External Drives are supposed to show up. It does not show up, nor does it appear in the left column of Finder windows.
I have also looked at the drive using Disk Utility where it appears in the left column as always. I am able to Unmount, Mount, and Eject the drive but that is all. Time Machine now provides the only access to data on the drive, but this does not represent everything on it.
appreciate any suggestions of things to try or ideas what may be amiss.

just got back to taking a look at this...
appreciate the suggested terminal commands but no luck. I get this with both command line versions:
(hard drive name):~ (my user name)$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/HQ 2big Quadra RAID
chflags: /Volumes/HQ: No such file or directory
chflags: 2big: No such file or directory
chflags: Quadra: No such file or directory
chflags: RAID: No such file or directory
(hard drive name):~ (my user name)$
and yet I know the named path is accurate as commandshiftG does bring up a finder window for the drive. plus that's the path Disk Utility shows.
also, as I mentioned, it isn't showing on the desktop of the other User account (and I would prefer not to create another account and delete it later unless this is sure to prove something)
mystified. thanks for any add'l suggestions.
