How do i find out it's S.M.A.R.T status?

Ok, starting to calm down, just panicing because the drive holds some of this years uni work which isnt marked yet. I'm, cool! Ok, so applecare... what number can i call? (UK Based) And what steps do i follow to get hold of the data on my HD? Bearing in mind i'm good with computers but i'm a...

Ok... I'm currently running a post because my powerbook isn't very happy, but while i'm posting that i'd like to know a little more about partitioning. What do you do? Why do you do it? When would it be helpful? How is it done? Thanks guys. Rich

I would give them a call but my powerbook is out of it's complimentry applecare range and i'm a student. Money is really hard to come by at the moment. How would i copy over some of my more important files to a CD if i can't log in and when i can that 'loginwindow' process is using all my...

I hit the button and the following occurs: -- Incorrect block count x2 Overlapped extent allocation x2 -- Then the fun really begins... -- Invalid key length Volume check failed ERROR: The underlying task reported failiure on exit (-9972) Repair attempt on 1 volume: 0 HFS volume...

Another note: I verified the disk permissions and repaired them without any problems but when i tried to do the same with the disk (verify and repair disk) in first aid it threw up an error both when verifying and rerpairing?

Ok.. now it's gone completely nuts. Tried what you suggested and somewhere along the line it now cannot start up from the right place. Whenever i startup, whatever keys i'm holding it gives me the 'flashing question mark'. When i start with dvd 1 in, it boots fine without me holding any keys...

I have tried to use disk utilities and check my disk permissions and such but once again i don't have the memory to do it and it freezes. It must have something to do with the 'loginwindow' process but i have no idea what to do, i have tried to quit and force quit the process and it states...

Hasn't even got enough memory to shut down without holding the power button!!!

Hey, Still panicing... Waited for the 'ahhhhhh' startup noise and held shift, the apple logo and loading sign showed up (still holding shift), then it went black and turned on again... 'ahhhhhh', still holding shift at this point. When do i let go? No sign of the Safe mode text? When i loged...

Friends at macosx... My powerbook has given up. Basically it all started with iTunes going (not sure if it's related? i have dropped a post earlier in this forum), i had an unknown error -51 and it didn't show up any of the music in my library. Following this (all in the space of a day or...

I have used iTunes without even a hint of any problem since owning my mac. Recently brought an external hard drive and now host my 30+GB of music there, again, without any problems. Today, very suddenly nothing shows up in my library when i open itunes and it shows an unknown error (-51). Has...

Is that 5 computers at one time or only five can access it at all?

Afternoon all, I have set up a wireless network of ten computers. Half mac, the other pc. All of the macs plus one of the pc's can share itunes without any issues. Two other pc itunes users can't seee our music or share theirs? I have had a look at the firewalls and security settings and...

I'm looking to plug my powerbook into a standard uk tv wall plug. Do i have any options? Is it even possible? What is the cost? Thanks in advance for your time guys! Richard

Just the job. I was wondering why nearly 10mb's wasn't showing, thought that there may be something hidden but i guess it is normal, very misleading! Also managed to find the format option on the phone. Thanks for your reply! Richard

Afternoon all, Just a quicky. I have a mmc card that i'm using in my Nokia 6230i. I want to format it and completely clear the memory so i have 256mb again. How do i do this with in plugged into my mac? Thanks in advance. Richard

I am dual screening my PB 12" with a 17" CRT monitor and when i disconnect the display i have similar problems. In the past i have sent the machine to sleep before disconnecting the display, hopefully when you wake it up it will format correctly?

My iTunes sometimes doesn't like the order in which i choose to burn cd's: To ensure it burns first time without spitting the cd out i open up itunes, select my playlist, insert the cd, wait for it to register, hit the burn button, wait or it to ok the cd on the lcd screen and then hit burn. If...

I think that if you are looking for advice on illegal software you should find it elsewhere. From what i gather the users of MacOSX.com hold very strong views against pirate software. I am a second year graphic design student and use £1000's of pounds worth of software at uni that i can't...
