View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a rocketfish adapter to connect MacBook Pro to a Toshiba TV with HDMI. I can see all icons and apps on the Mac but only the typical Mac background screen on the TV (you know the stars and northern lights). No apps are showing on the TV. So, there is a connection because I can see the trademark Apple background on the screen, but none of the apps are showing while I work away on the Mac. I did the same thing with my Sony TV tv and I was able to see everything on the Sony screen. Is there a compatability problem with the Toshiba or is there something I need to do to reconfigure the Mac ?

I have a moshi Mini DP to HDMI adapter, HDMI cable (Monster Digital Audio and Video) and a Toshiba 26SL400U LED TV. According to what I have read about my MBP it supports audio out through the MiniDP (under the System Profiler Audio(built in) it shows HDMI / Display Port Output) Following the instructions for the Moshi adapter (sold at the Apple Store) I hook everything up MBP>Adapter>HDMI Cable>TV. Turn the TV on and I should be able to select the HDMI option for audio in System preferences and I should be able to select the display as well.

So I just got a Toshiba Canvio 3.0 750 gb and I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch running lion. When I plug it in the light apears in the hard drive, but it doesn't show up in finder or disk utility, so I can't use it or reformat it.

So I took the advice of 9to5mac (might have been my first mistake) and ordered the Toshiba Canvio Plus 1tb portable external drive with the goal of removing the 2.5' 12.5mm 5400rpm hdd and transplanting it into my 13" Macbook Pro.

Unfortunately, the case has a (sort of) "unibody" design to it - there are no screws! I don't want to void the warranty by cracking the damn thing open.
Obviously, the Momentus XT will be faster because of its Hybrid structure with the 4gb SSD cache, but how much faster in reality compared to the 1TB drive. I'm coming from the stock 250GB HDD in the 13in MBP (Mid 2009) and am looking to upgrade. Just don't know which to get as I would like speed and more space.

I went to genius bar yesterday because some problems with the privies hard disk drive. They gave me the toshiba as a replacement. I wasn't required to sign any paper after that. Before when I got a replacement iphone or macbook charger, they both asked me to sign a paper. I don't know why this time is different. Also I heard that Toshiba hard drive is worse than Samsung's.By the way, I didn't erase my documents in previous hard drive, will anyone be able use or read them? Well, I saved many account passwords in that hard drive.

Toshiba's Portege R500 has been doing battle with the MacBook Air since the start of 2008. But now they've got a new slimline machine to square up to Apple's razor sharp beast and Voodoo's slinky Envy. It's called the Portege R600 and they're saying it's "the world's thinnest and lightest laptop."Despite getting official approval over in Canada, Tosh hasn't given up much regarding specs, just saying that it'll weigh in at 2.1 pounds, have a battery life up to nine hours and pack a Core 2 Duo processor under the hood.

The tv is a Toshiba WLT66 32" with a Mini D-Sub 15 pin connector and my MBP has the mini display port on it.
Do i need the Mini DVI to VGA for vision? I need one about a metre long. The one's i've seen on Apple Store uk are all short (about 15cm)Not sure what audio cable i need though. My TV has HDMI port plus the usual L/R phono type sockets on it and the MBP just has the usual headphone socket.
looking to purchase this hd and use it inside my macbook bc i can get an amazing deal on it vs buying the WD blue 750gb..will this work or is it setup like the new passport essentials are where the micro-usb port is part of the hard drive?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe four I have narrowed it down to are the Apple 13" Macbook Pro or Macbook, Asus UL30Vt, and the Toshiba Protege r705. I can obtain each for $1100, $950, $720, and $800 respectively.

I just bought a new 1 TB external hard drive for back up purposes. When i connect it via USB to my Snow Leopard macbook pro, it gives me a "this disk not readable by this computer message". I click ignore, and it lets me do whatever i want to the disk - read, write, etc. I have tried repair disk - tells me it's good to go, and tried reformatting several times - thought not zero disk data or the 7 pass bs.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to get 500GB, and got stuck with either WD Blue Scorpio or cheaper external portable HDDs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a bunch of research and found a bunch of conflicting information. My question to you all is this:are there any good, portable external hard drives that support both FireWire and USB?I have an iMac and an MB Pro, but a lot of people I know don't; I would like to use the FireWire and still be able to use the hard drive with others' computers who do not.I was looking for something that: did not require an actual electrical plug (wanted the USB/FireWire to be used as the power source)is at least 1TB (would prefer 1.5TB)is (preferably but doesn't have to be) rugged.I plan on doing some traveling and whatnot and just throwing it my bag; I'd probably go a while without having a chance to really maintain it, hence my wanting these things.
The main ones I was looking at are the LaCie MiniRugged, LaCie Rugged, Transcend Storejet 25H2P and 25M2, and the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex.Unfortunately, I've either heard bad reviews or they don't meet all my criteria. The LaCies, for example, were said by some to be outdated, flimsy, etc. (and the mini doesn't have a FireWire port).The Transcends don't do FireWire, nor does the Seagate.In case anyone was wondering, I included the Seagate becaue I have a friend who just got back from a year-long trip bumming around Asia with it and it stood up fine (but, again, no FireWire) I was wondering if anyone could suggest anything.

I believe that is the one without WD's free fall sensor (or whatever it is called)?
I can get a very good deal on it (41€). I plan on copying my stock 250GB Toshiba drive 1:1 to it with Carbon Copy Cloner.
Would this drive be good?

View 16 Replies View RelatedSo I currently have a Lacie "Porsche designed" 320GB external hard drive which I use for Time Machine. The major problem is that it is huge and requires an external power source. Also, the rubber bits on the bottom came off because I have had it for a while and so now whenever Time Machine backs up, you can hear the drive on the table.
I have been thinking about getting a portable drive like a WD Passport Essential because it doesn't need a power source. Does anyone have any experience of these drives with Time Machine or any others to recommend?
Also how much will running the drive when my 13" 2.53 MacBook Pro is on battery power affect the battery life? Secondly, if I have a 250GB internal HD, how big an external drive should I be looking at?
I recently bought a Western Digital Elements 640 GB portable hard drive. My brother formatted it on his PC & it "cannot be modified" on my MacBook. However, I used Disk Utility to format it, rendering it modifiable on my MacBook &, according to my boyfriend, who uses a PC, unmodifiable on a PC. Is there any way to format the hard drive such that it can be used on both a Mac and a PC, without having to do backups & reformatting each time I switch between the two?
