Dec 12, 2010I just bought a used macbook pro, 15" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, and I have previously been using a 13" macbook, on which I recently upgraded the hard drive. I'd like to pop that hard drive in my new MBP, since it is bigger, and has all my data on it, but I'm not sure if this is a safe thing to do - if there are hardware specific aspects of the OSX environment that will be unhappy in a new machine. I'm running OSX 10.6.4..

Applications :: Move Time Machine From Bigger To Smaller Harddrive?
Apr 2, 2010I have snow leopard. I have a 1TB time machine set up. After all I just realize that it is too big for what I actually need. I think half of that would be more than enough. I have another 500GB hard drive. I was wondering how can I move my time machine files from a Bigger hard drive to a smaller hard drive.
All discussions, post and forums explain how to do it from smaller to a bigger hard drive using Disk utility. But that did not work for me, there is a error saying that the source is bigger than the destination. Does anybody know how can do this? basically using the apple computer and trying to avoid 3rd party software.PS, The back-up file inside the 1 TB hard drive is much less than 500 GB.

Jun 7, 2009I'm trying to create a partition for Windows, but I'm getting the message "disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." A poster in another thread concerning this problem said that to create a partition, Bootcamp needs continuous space or something. I do have many large files, and I had up to 3 GB free out of 180 a few minutes ago until I deleted some files to get about 58 GB. I tried partitioning with 45 GB and got the error message. I also tried lower numbers, but nothing worked. I'm assuming it's because my files are fragmented. Then I looked up defragment in the forums and found that many people are against it whether it's because it "slows down the computer" or "it is unnecessary." Now I'm in a bind because I don't want to reinstall my OS, but now I'm hearing I shouldn't defrag either.

Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS X Extended (Journal) volume. Restore your information to the disc and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
What does this mean and how do i do this? I opened disk utility and can't work it out.

IMac :: Partitioned Hard Drive With Old Hidden Files?
Jul 19, 2009I partitioned my hard drive to in order to have an option of running tiger or leopard and thought that the partition would wipe my hard drive clean and was acceptant of this; however, I recently noticed that my disk space is running dangerously low and have discovered that all the crap I had on my hard drive before is still lingering in the depths of my hard drive. Anyways, is there any way I could just completely wipe my hard drive because I have a complete mess of duplicate files and songs that I don't want to even bother sorting through.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: External Harddrive Ate My Files?
Jun 30, 2009I am a rookie in Mac. I have a lot of multimedia which I store on external harddrives. Recently I have experienced my iMac freezing on me, specially when I am accessing the harddrives using my frontrow application. Eventually I got a database error when receiving mail to my Entourage. It was suggested that I repair permissions using the disk utility. This I did, however it never actually repairs anything, it just lists the stuff where the permissions differ. Anyway, straight after I 'repaired' permissions, my harddrive showed empty. No files left!!! 1TB data gone .
the way I understand it, it is a possibility that the file that lists the addresses of all the files on the disk may be the one that was wiped. I am hoping the data is still there and that someone has a nifty tool that will sniff it out for me.
OS X :: Moving Files From IMac To Maxtor Harddrive?
Jun 7, 2009The case is this: I have a 200 GB Maxtor harddrive onto witch i want to copy all the video, zip and other files from my imac. I have allredy copied most of them by using a memory stick and taking it over to a PC and from there over to the Maxtor. But the files i have left on the mac is to large for the memory stick.
The Mac can only read, and not wright the Maxtor. But i just can't understand that i can just copy the files from the Mac to the Maxtor via a PC, but not directly?? isnt there a way to copy the files directly to the Maxtor?
I don't know much about filesystems but on my imac it says someting with RAID and aufofs. I have also understood that i can format the Maxtor to FAT-32, but some of the files are greater than 4 GB, so that wont work right?

Mar 15, 2012Saw today in Lions new layout under "This Computer" that my harddrive contains 147GB (out of 320 GB) of movies.
Is there any clever way to track those movie files.
The movie files are probably spread all over the computer. I have for instace made a great deal of Final Cut clips
that tend to be saved in several copies spread in different folders. Besides that, I probably have film and film clips in every imaginable file format that have been saved and forgotten through the years :-) (my iMac is from -07)

Mac Mini :: Can't Open Files From External Harddrive
Apr 24, 2012Today i was finishing a 7min HD Video Project for my class, on a mac tower, when i got the I/O error message while exporting it. It got worse from there. Untill today i have had no problem viewing/opening/editing files from my harddrive.
Now, i cant even open the FCP project. It says final cut pro quit unexpectedly while using the kgcore plug-inWhen i try to watch a quicktime file, the movie will play for a few seconds, then freeze and force quit.I try to copy any file to my desktop and it says The Finder cant complete the operation because some data in(filename) cant be read or written. (Error code -36)
I ran disk utility to verify the disk, and it says that everything appeared ok.I also ran disk repair, and it also said nothing was wrong with the harddrive.I have tried to do all of these things on 4 different computers today, 3 towers and a Mac Mini.All the same results, down to the exact second and mb of the attempted transfers and watches.

OS X Mavericks :: Cannot Move Files To Different Folders On MacBook Pro
Sep 8, 2014A few days ago, I started being unable to move files from one folder to another in Finder or on my Desktop, using a drag and drop motion. I can move the files if I copy and paste them from one folder to the next, but that is incredibly laborious. I have not changed any of my user settings lately, so why this is happening all of a sudden.
I am currently using OS x 10.9.4.
