    Cannot mount external drive in Sierra

    I have a WD My Book that is setup as my time machine backup drive. Normally, it is connected to my Airport Extreme base station, and backs up wirelessly. Recently, my mac keeps telling me that the back drive is full. I have checked, and the backup bundle takes up about 1.1 TB of the 2 TB...

    Good PCI IDE cards for a G4 Sawtooth?

    Currently I have 3 HDs in my G4 Server, but one of them is in the zip drive bay. I want to get it out of there and maybe add another drive, but I need an IDE controller. Are there any good, inexpensive options?

    External USB-C drive that's also a Hub

    CalDigit's AV Pro 2 apparently also acts as a USB 3 hub, which is pretty handy considering I have a 2016 rMBP. Are there any other drives out there that do this? I'm in the market for a Time Machine backup drive and I'd love to know what my options are. Thanks in advance!

Can't figure out what's eating the rest of the space. About the mac shows system files as 400GB. That's...

    MacBook Pro will only recognize one specific internal hard drive

    I'm working on a friend's MacBook Pro that would start to a flashing folder with a question mark. The directory was out of whack, so I repaired that. Then found out the hard drive is physically failing, so I cloned everything over to a new drive. I still had problems with drives being recognized...

    HD (with OSX on) not showing in recovery mode?

    Hi all. So I bought a new HD for my Macbook Pro mid-2012. I've installed Mountain Lion (lol) onto the HD from my other Macbook, in recovery mode. So I've plugged the HD in, started in recovery mode, and nothing's showing on Disk Utility – except for a 'disk0' drive with 'Mac OS X Base System'...

    What remains if you install an ssd upgrade?

    I have got a Macbook Pro 13 inch from early 2015 with Retina Display, that was purchased late last year and has the OS Sierra on it, and it's got a 128GB storage, I am going to be purchasing an upgrade for it. What will still be there when I change out the hard-drive?

    I am working with one of our clients who is using a Mac (that we do not usually support) but I have been working with them to move over files to an external drive. We copied their entire user library (say 700GB) and moved it over to the drive without any issues. What we have tried to do since is...

    With APFS, will old HFS+ external drives need to be replaced?

    I'm thrilled at the idea of Apple's new file system. More stability? Faster? Better error protection? Yes please. As a video professional, under-the-hood improvements like these are way more interesting to me than the cosmetic and incremental updates of the last few versions of macOS. But quick...
