MacBook :: Hard Disk Upgrade And EFI Clicking
Aug 20, 2010Has anyone had any luck with upgrading the current 2010 MacBook's hard disk? If so which drive did you use? I've just upgraded using a wdc5000bevt scorpio blue and it seems to be giving me these EFI related problems (constantly parking the heads). Has anyone successfully tried the Samsung hm641ji drive?

MacBook Pro :: Can't Upgrade Software Because Of Lack Of Hard Disk Space
Apr 21, 2012I am trying to upgrade my software and its says I don't have enough hard disk space. Im sure I have not used 350 gig worth of memory.When I see what is using my memory I hardly have any space use by music, pics, videos, but then it says "other" and it show my entire drive is being used. I assume I have recopied somthing or backed something up several times. Any suggestions how to get rid of large files!

OS X :: Lost Hard Disk Driver Icons After Snow Leopard Upgrade
Nov 1, 2009I recently just upgraded to Snow Leopard two days ago. Since then, I have lost the Hard Disk drive icons and I don't know how to get it back. In fact, I have no icons on my desktop at all except for the external hard drive that I have plugged in. How do I get my icons back? Especially the main hard disk one.

Intel Mac :: Any Way To Upgrade OS X If Startup Disk Full?
Jul 5, 2012My 2009 mac has been telling me the start up disk is full so I thought to save iphoto and itunes to an external drive. But I have been advised to upgrade the os first as I am still on snow leopard. Before I buy lion (I can't wait for mountain lion) can I upgrade while the start up disk is full? Or will it not let me (it won't do the updates that are coming through at the moment)? If I save iphoto and itunes to the external drive first will I still be able to access them/ properly?

Intel Mac :: Hard Disk Is Indicated As Saturated?
May 24, 2012My hard disk has been indicated as saturated for the past weeK. Despite the fact that I freed Space (90 Gigas of movies) the next day when I opened my mac the Hard disk saturated warning comes up, and when I read the information on the hard disk; effectively there are 0 octets available. It is as if someone is using my computer to store data.
I haven't downloaded any new files and I haven't been working on any stuff that requires huge amounts of space. The situation is that even if I want to save a letter or any small file I have to make space simultaneously. I tried going into preferences to see if there are any malwares installed but it won't open, another thing is that 'mail' no longer downloads my emails so I have to consult them directly on Gmail.
I would be most grateful for any advice or informationon haw to solve this problem,

Intel Mac :: Won't Boot From Hard Drive Or Disk?
Apr 1, 2012Gray screen and 'prohibited' logo appeared today without apparent reason.Forced a power down by holding power button. Restarted....eventually reached user login screen but froze again on login attempt after password entered.
Restrated again by forced power down but only got gray screen and spinning gear.
Have now spent many hours going through most conceivable options including...
following instructions on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 re gray screen troubleshooting
have disconnected peripherals; reset smu, smc, and pram;
safe boot w shift key did nothing; Â
safe boot shift+v produced a screen of text that got as far as com.apple.launchd 1
but then several lines of text appeared repeating twice eaxctly same, each headed by disk0s2: I/O error. with [ErrNo 5], then
dyld: Library not loaded:Â Â and Reason: no suitable image found
final line ends with The System bootstrapper has crashed: Trace/BPT trap:5Â
I have tried installing from the original install disk several times but holding C key or Option/Alt key or D key gets no response and I cannot get the install disk to eject either holding down mouse button, eject buttonÂ
I haven't done any recent upgrades or installed new software, no new peripherals attached.
Is this a dead hard drive or does someone have other suggestions that might work?

Intel Mac :: Disk Utility Can't Find Hard Drive
May 7, 2012I had to power off my iMac by Pressing the power key and holding it several times over the last few weeks. The last time it wouldn't reboot - I'd just get an apple icon. When I tried a safe boot I'd get the icon and it would change to a no entry sign.Next I started up from the snow leopard installation disk with the intent of repairing the iMac disk. The installation disk worked but when I opened disk utility it only found the installation disk. It didn't find the iMac disk.

IMac (Intel) :: Will Not Boot Hard Disk And Recovery
Jun 1, 2014The problem is that the mac will not boot period.When I press the Option on start up, it takes me to a screen where I could select to boot from the Macintosh Hard disk or Recovery 10.9 disk.Choosing either of these still does not boot up the computer.Â
I think that the hard disk is damaged but what I do not understand is why I can still get the option to choose the Hard disk or the Recovery disk.I am waiting to hear from Apple Support on when I can take my imac to the genius bar and I was wondering if there is anything I can do before then. Intel imac 27-inch bought refurbished in November 2010 with imac apple care.Intel quard core processor, 4 Gig RAM, 1 terabyte HDÂ

IMac (Intel) :: Hard Disk Is Full And Can't Get To Safe Mode
Aug 26, 2014I turned on my iMac (20in 2008 model) and after the apple logo appears, I get a gray screen that says "process 1 exec of sbin/launched failed". I'm pretty sure it's because my hard disk is full. I tried booting up in safe mode, but my wireless keyboard battery died. I put in new batteries, but I need to get to the desktop to reconnect the keyboard. I tried using a usb wired keyboard, but it doesn't power up until I'm on the desktop screen. I don't know what else to do. I need a keyboard to boot to safe mode, but I need to be fully booted to work the keyboard.

IMac (Intel) :: Moving Files To External Drive Not Creating Hard Disk Space
Sep 2, 2014My 500gb iMac (purchased April 2010) is about at capacity. 350gb of space is taken up by home movies (.mov) in iMovie. I bought an external hard drive and have moved about 200gb over to that drive.Â
After transfer, I deleted the original Events off iMovie and emptied the trash. I checked in both iMovie and in Finder and no longer see those files present on the Mac. Â
I thought this was going smooth and everything worked perfectly, but….when i went to check how much storage space i created on the Mac, the amount of available space barely budged (i moved 200gb of data to the new drive and i created about 30gb of space on the Mac).Â
Are these "deleted" files hidden somewhere and I need to go delete from somewhere else? How do I make sure I get back the storage that i need?Â
IMac Intel :: Lacie External Hard Drive Doesn't Show Up - Sporadically Appears In Disk
Feb 19, 2009Odd stufff, I have a 500 gig Lacie ext HD that my user uses on her Vista machine...
I am setting up a replacement for the Vi$ta machine, which is a 24 inch imac.
I plugged in the ext HD and nothing happened after I powered on the ext HD.
I checked disk utility and it showed up but as a 2TB size ext HD...
I unplugged the Lacie and plugged it back in and all the info showed up correctly.
But ALL the buttons under "First Aid" are greyed out so I cant verify permissions, disk, or repair disk or permissions.
