Intel Mac :: Format The Internal HDD On It?
Mar 13, 2012
I tried to install Lion on iMac 2004 (2008)Now the HD has a problem. I won't unmount via Disk Utility.The partition with the system shows a circle with a slash through it.The Mac will boot into other systems on both the internal and external drives. But the system on the internal is broken. I used the system restor to start up Lion.There are hundreds of gigabytes missing. The HD is formatted in 2 partitions. One for Lion, one for Tiger.I want to get rid of the Tiger partition. Disk Utility tries but can not unmount the Tiger partition.I think I have to reformat the HD back into 1 partition and instal Lion on that.The Lion partitioin only has 15% free space. I can't just go ahead and use it.Â

How do I transfer all data from my old internal hard drive to a new internal hard drive? I have an iMac with a 320gb internal HD that is full and I am replacing it with a 2tb internal drive. I have several external drives; 1 tb, 2tb and 3 tb. The 2 tb is being used for Time Machine. Do I have to buy an enclosure? If so, where would I get an inexpensive one? I also want to partition the new internal drive for Windows, and I'm not sure how much space to use for that. I plan to use Windows to check my work in PowerPoint created on my Mac for clients on PCs.

I would like to format a partition on an old iMac (mid-2007) that is compatible with Xubuntu 11.10. According to Disk Utility the current partition is formatted with Mac OS Extended (journaled). None of the other format options appear to be likely candidates.Certainly the existing format does not appear to work. What must I do?Â

Does anyone know if Apple plans to create a bluetooth version of the larger keyboard?   I have the small, bluetooth version - but it's too cramped. I'd much prefer the larger one.Â

How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?Â
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.Â

I'm running Snow Leopard on my new Macbook Pro. I've got a 1.5TB External hard drive that I'm trying to figure out how to format in HFS+ with Apple Partition Map. I can figure out how to format in HFS using Disk Utility, however it still does it in GUID format and I do not know how to do it in Apple Partition Map.
Googleing this for hours has lead with all kinds of information on how to go to GUID FROM Apple Partition Map but not the other way around. I know GUID is the new hottness.. but this drive will be used exclusively to connect to my XBOX 360 and it supposedly only reads HFS+ when its formatted with Apple Partition Map. (I have tried it with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID, and the XBOX does NOT recognize it) I do not want to use Fat 32, (I know that that is the other major option) beacuse it limits file size.

the ONLY output device listed in my system preferences is Digital Output with Optical Digital-Out Port. I NEVER used headphones or any external speakers. I don't know what turned the Internal Speakers OFF But I would like to turn them back on. I can't find any thing any where in the OS that would do that. Any one has ANY Clue to why this would happen?

So I was using Boot Camp assistant to install windows. Everything went smooth until windows crashed. Said it was missing a file, blah blah. My brother had just handed me his W7 Ultimate (instead of home which I just installed) so I figured I'd just reinstall Windows completely. Went back into Boot Camp assistant and accidently clicked "Erase disk and create a single partition for Windows."
I have lost all my pics and music that were stored on there, backed up so thats not a big deal. But how can I reformat that drive to be used by my mac again?
The "Restore disk to a single Mac OS partition" is grayed out.

I've got a Transcend 8GB usb drive and i want to erase everything on it but i can't. I know that the best way to do this is the Disk Utility (Because Finder can't erase them too. When I drag and drop to the bin, it says "43 files cannot be deleted")Â
When i attempt to format, this message appears from disk utility:Â and also, another message appears at the same time.I just wanted to format my disk. But i can still see the content in the disk. But can't copy them to desktop.Â

I'm using Macbook Pro(2010, 10.6.6) and a PC with Windows 7. I need to transfer image files from both laptops to an external drive. I formatted the external drive in exFAT and wanted to know if there are any problems that might occur in the future. I already know there is an issue with such programs as Carbon Copy Cloner. I primarily need the drive for backup of the images and not system backups. Do you have any file corruption or other problems formatting in exFAT?

I usually listen to any output from my iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz, 27", early 2010) through an external amp and speakers, via the analog output (headphone socket). However - I recently disconnected the jack plug to listen through the machine's internal speakers but was greeted with silence. I checked the volume via the kb controls - the mini display appeared on screen suggesting that the volume was set on full, though I could not adjust it at all. I reconnected the jack plug and sound came out from my external speakers as usual. On disconnection, no volume. I searched the forums for ideas, and came across this support article: [url],,, which I followed to the letter.
When I open 'Sounds' in System Preferences, the only output option available to me is 'Digital Out' - there is no option for internal speakers or headphones. However, if I plug in the line-out jack, the options change - only 'Headphones' is available (no 'Digital Out' any more). Following the article, I checked to see if there was a red light in the digital output socket, which there is not.

I have checked all sound levels including Audio Midi in utilities. In system preference the output is Digital Optical and nothing else is available to select. It also says this sound output has no controls - is this correct? The sound icon in the menu top right is greyed out and I can't adjust the level. I have an Apple TV and have turned off airplay on that? Also have checked computer speakers (not Apple TV) in iTunes. I had this problem before but rebooting fixed it. My son plays Minecraft on this computer and watches millions of uTube stuff. He may have used his earphones then. Could this be the problem? Nothing is muted in sys pref or utilities audio midi. The chimes work when starting up. The mic sound levels are moving.
