I purchased a GoFlex Desk for Mac with the FW800 adapter. No issues with stability or performance.The only thing that is weird is related to deletion of files:
1) When I set a program to auto-clean files (for example, deleting source rar files after unpacking) it doesn't work
2) Whenever I try to delete a file, I get a warning that "This cannot be undone", and it's doing a permanent delete rather than moving it to trash.I've verified that I'm not using any Seagate drivers, and the drive shows up as the "Orange" generic external drive.

I go to finder, click on FreeAgent GoFlex Drive (external hard drive) under devices, click on movies, click on imovie projects, then select a current project I'm working on, it doesn't initiate or appear in imovie?

I am Running a 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3. I run time machine to backup to an external Seagate 3TB, FreeAgent GoFlex Desk, FireWire Drive. When the Mac goes into sleep mode, the Seagate drive un-mounts. When the Mac wakes up, I get an error that the drive was not properly disconnected and the drive is no longer mounted. The only way I can get the drive to remount, is to remove power from the drive for several seconds and then reconnect it.

Seems like pretty good deal, although only 2 reviews it seems to be very good. I heard a lot of good things about Seagate, especially their warranty.
I was leaning towards WD but I've heard a lot of reliabilities issues with their MyBook's actually.
Anyone have this drive? I would go 1.5 TB but I hear current HDD technology isn't up to snuff yet to make another more than 1 TB reliable .. though that could be false.
As title. Heard a lot about the temp sensor that might cause this an issue? If its a problem, would it work if i installed it as a 2nd drive?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a MacBook 13" with a 1.83capsule GHz Intel Core Duo and the internal hard drive quit on me. I can't even get disk utilities to see the disk, much less mount it. Fortunately for me, I have a Time Machine on an external HD, and another external HD that I was able to install OS X 10.6.8 (using updates) so I can use the computer. I am looking at a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 250GB 2.5 Hard Drive-SATA 3GB, 8MB Can I do this? As the original HD was 60GB, will there be any problem using the 250GB drive? Also, I need to know how to install it (Actually, because my hands shake, I am going to ask a friend to do the actual work).

I have an iMac that is now close to two years that I have been a little unlucky with. Two times the harddrive has crashed and had to be replaced. Last time I managed (learned from experience) to make a TimeMachine back-up. I can see on the external drive that 160gb are in use but I am unable to gain access to the files. The main thing is a lot of pictures that i would really like to recover. It is now about 4 months ago this happened so new pictures have been uploaded in the meantime.

I think I have a slight issue with my 7200rpm 500gb seagate drive. Once or twice every hour it seems to stop and start up again. Kinda klicks. It causes my computer to freeze for about 3 seconds. Whats causing it? Is it faulty? I should also mention that it didn't do this when i first got it. This is the model without the SMS.

My 500 GB disk is sounding funny and I have a grey screen. I have bought a new disk Seagate Barracuda ST1000M003-9YN162. When I try to format the disk I'll get input-/output error. My iMac is 24", white 2006, model 6.1?I'm using the startup CD.

Where can I find the serial numbers of the defective Seagate 1T hard drives that were in iMacs? I tried Seagate site. Not the iMac serial #, I know about the recall program. We are looking at a refurbished (not Apple) iMac & it has a Seagate 1T HD, naturally, we want to know if it is one of the bad ones.

I have been having problems with Time Machine and a Seagate GoFlex external drive. I've partitioned the external drive as a backup startup disk and a backup particition using Time Machine. It will work fine for some time and then not function as planned.
For example today, my Software Update indicated there were available updates. One was a System Installer. I chose to update. When the update was complete, my backup was no longer available. Time Machine indicated the drive was now "read only", and that a backup could not be completed.
As I said, this external drive and the setup I have works for sometimes a month or better, and then I run into some kind of problem like this, and am forced to erase and partition the drive all over. This sure does defeat the expectations for an external drive backup.
I've contacted Seagate several times. They've had me download a utility that keeps the drive from going to sleep.

I have a Seagate 200 GB hard drive that I formatted to MAC extended Journal and is ready for backup. The Seagate drive came with a Backup CD disk called bounce back express, a 2004 product from company CMS. It did not come with an activation code. Can I use instead Time Machine to do backup instead on external drive? If so will Time Machine incase of crash fully restore to another disk?

be more heathier for the mac pro to have longevity if it were on top. I guess if it were on top of a desk, the mac pro would collect less dust + able to breathe alot better for less stress on the logicboard/fan? I'm seriously thinking about putting the mac pro on top of my desk.

View 19 Replies View RelatedI have been noticing more MacPros kept on top of desk rather than on the floor. Why is this. I think it's too big to go on a desk, even a big one. Is there something I don't know about. I guess the 'dust bunnies' may be a bit larger on the floor but it's also cooler. Getting to the back is just as much as a pain in both places.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been placing it on top of my desk, which is pretty huge BUT I noticed that including my 17" mbp on the desk and the additional of a second monitor, I need more space! I've been thinking about placing the mac pro underneath my desk, pushed to the far back. I do own a shihtzu that does have the occasional hairball popping out somewhere random and I try to vacuum twice a week. With that information, do you guys think that moving the Mac Pro on the floor on a carpet would attract that much more dust as to the Mac Pro being on top of the desk?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI just purchased an 11" MacBook Air and I'm loving it! I'm using it with the 24" Apple cinema display and was wondering what some of you are using as a stand. There doesn't seem to be much available to accommodate the smaller size. I'm currently using an mStand that I had from owning my just recently sold MBP. I'm considering a TwelveSouth BookArc, but I'm not sure if it will fit the 11" Air. Can anyone confirm this?
I'm looking for something that's not only aesthetically pleasing, but also something with a smaller footprint that will free up some desk space. Please share your thoughts, ideas, opinions, and solutions!
I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for a computer desk/workstation. I'm willing to spend some $$ on something, and am just wondering if there are any pieces out there that you guys really like. I use a Mac Pro, which I like to keep on the desk. Besides that, I don't have that much hardware -- MFC printer that's pretty big, but that will probably be replaced by something that has a smaller footprint. I'll be putting it in my basement, so size isn't really a huge concern.
