310 - 1125f HARD drive
I try to know what physical size hard drive to buy to replace the one that just started my 310-1125f. When I bought this refurbished from TigerDirect back in September 2011, I thought that it was a lot until I've opened the case to improve memory and found the RAM socket latches were broken. I currently hold my RAM with a range of plastic beside the business. Now the HARD drive is faulty and I guess that a standard 2.5 SATA HDD up to 2 TB would suffice, but it would be good to know without having to open the case. I'm just worried about what I'll find when I go to replace the HARD drive. The HP support page has been great. Although the specifications of the product don't tell me the physical size of the HARD drive, you used to be able to order replacement parts. Not that I would ever order a spare part of HP because of the huge markup, but at least you could get a part number and cross to an affordable item. Now, I can't even to do.
Someone please confirm the physical HARD disk size so that I don't have to open the case twice.
Thank you.
Hello
Very interesting. I have that the information should be on the User Guides but not. It actually turns out to be 3.5 "HDD as shown:
"Storage characteristics are almost identical between the previous TouchSmart 300 and 310. It uses a desktop class hard drive although the size has decreased to 750Go compared to the previous 1 TB. This should provide a good amount of storage for most people, unless you use a lot of digital video. A double layer DVD portable player class writer resides on the left side of the screen. He is also a card reader memory 6-in-one at the bottom right just to top audio jacks. »

And HP part store it also says use 3.5 "HDD:

Hello
I need to buy a new hard drive for my computer Touchsmart 310-1124f. I would get one this weekend and install it. Does anyone know where I could buy one? Would be somewhere like Best Buy who wear or should I go through HP. Also when I look for one, what should I look for? Thank you. John
Here are the specifications of your desktop HP TouchSmart 310-1124f. According to the specification, this model uses a 1 to 7200 RPM SATAII disk 3,5 '' hard. You can access this type of hard drive to Best Buy, Fry, target, Staples, Wal-Mart, etc.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Processor and internal hard drive upgrade advice
First here's all the specifications of my computer. HP Touchsmart 310 1125 y. 8 GB of RAM is the only change that I've done so far.
Here are the specifications of mobo as well.
For the processor, I am interested in upgrading to
OK now my question is being the 65w TDP my computer will be compatible with it? Also with this processor I'll be able to tell the difference between the 2 or is even worth the hassle? Another thing, this processor will be too fast for the other components of my computer? I'm new to all this, so, be liberal with your advice...
Regarding the upgrade of the internal drive I mentioned. This computer would benefit from that? I have a 750 GB hard drive at the moment, but I use hardly any of this. I know that the SSD computers of the give a boost enormous speed but I don't know if it's 1 compatible with this desktop computer market.
Thank you very much in advance for any advice!
I would not bother with this upgrade of the processor. If you do, he's going for a Quad Core or at least a Triple Core, and frankly even it's not going to be really noticeable except in some programs like Photoshop and a few others that are put in place to take full advantage of more 2 processor cores.
Yes by all means the SSD is the way to go. See pages 15 to 17 of this manual of hard drive replacement instructions:
You will need a 2.5 inch adapter 3.5 inches, but those who are easy to find and you can use any SATA SSD on the market.
I like this one:

Bad hard drive or simply noisy
OK, so my hard drive started to make sounds ringing about 1 week ago. Recently, about 2 days, it is whenever I put my PC to sleep and then wake it upward, the hard drive starts to make knocking sounds, freezes and I get a blue screen. Then the PC restarts, it also takes more time to start and the hard drive continues to make the sounds hitting until the windows is loaded.
Im not sure if it's the hard drive or something, I ran the diagnostic test of the HP hardware on the drive and everything seems fine.
I posted a picture of the exact error code.
IM thinking that it might be something with the system files, so I could do a factory restore and see if that helps, any comment is very appreciated

Hello
I suggest to install an application called CrystalDiskInfo. This will tell if the hard drive will fail, no matter what file system on it.

When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?
So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.
You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

How to change back to SSD HARD drive?
My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10. Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

How to use an SSD with your HARD drive
If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.
After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.
Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.
Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

Seagate external hard drive / / no display
Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.
Help, please!
Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.
Another thing I tried was still unplug HD plugin MBA on sector and re - a SMC.

MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive
My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.
Hi vishesh97,
Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!
We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.
Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:
For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility

Backup of two mac mini hard drives
I have a Mac Mini 2011 with two 500 GB hard drives. I have apps and General things about hard drive #1 and #2 only has pictures and videos. Will be Time Machine backs up both drives to my external hard drive as one or two separate back ups? I see files of backup HD #1, but not sure if the HD #2 files are also there. I can't find an answer in the support documents. Ideas?
Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and check if the disks are in the exclusion list.

My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.
Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.
The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.
Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...
You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?
By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?
Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

How to recover data from my macbook pro drive to an external hard drive?
My Mac pro does not work. Is it possible to back up my data through safe mode? Problem is that I accidentally deleted my last backup in my external hard drive. I'm just trying to retrieve photos and videos.
Perhaps. What happens when you start up the Mac normally?
You have another Mac?
This Mac starts to recover? (need of Lion or later)?

The hard drive on my MacBook (2011) crashed. I could not successfully reinstall OS X (it try to install Mountain Lion - perhaps because of the age of the MacBook). Bit then it crashes when it does real settle.
Can I create a new partition and try to install OS X on this new partition? How do I do that?
Or maybe I'm better of restoring a backup Time Machine prior? If I restore from a backup time machine, I lose my data since the last backup time machine (my last backup was March 2016, and I need the data from March 2016 before).
I'm not super technical, so please provide feedback that I hope that I can understand how to run.
Thank you!
The hard drive on my MacBook (2011) crashed. I could not successfully reinstall OS X (it try to install Mountain Lion - perhaps because of the age of the MacBook). Bit then it crashes when it does real settle.
You don't mention if you replaced the hard drive or all just try reinstalling OS X on top of the existing. No matter, what method you are trying to use to do? Recovery Mode, Internet, Time Machine backup or an installation DVD restore recovery Mode?
I'm also assuming you don't have any other form of backups to restore from, for example, an external USB drive with a copy of the internal hard disk fairly new clone of your MacBook... correct? If this isn't the case, I strongly suggest that you consider to do so move on... especially if any of the data on the hard drive is essential for you.
What would be recommended would, at this point, the following basic steps:
- Run Apple Hardware Test to verify that there is no problem with your MacBook hardware. You won't waste time trying to reinstall the software on the disc if it is faulty.
- Perform a Recovery Mode (will install this latest version of Mac OS X that you MacBook was running) or the recovery of Internet Mode (will install the version of Mac OS X initially supplied with your MacBook) to re - install OS X.
- Restore from Time Machine.

Complete hard drive well messages have a lot of space.
Hello world
IM using a MacMini 2012 with 16 GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD stock.
I don't know what to do. My MacMini gives me error messages all the time say that my HARD disk memory is full - but it isn't.
I already emptied the trash. I was transferred to GB´s videos on an external HARD drive. Sometimes, the memory is more and what is reduced without having done anything.
Today I had 1, 76 GB of free memory and wile watching a video the same 'lack of HARD disk space"message.
The amounts also vary a lot. Yesterday he showed me 210 GB of videos (green) - today after the transfer not 10 GB of videos, it says now that I just left 12 GB and the difference is now on color (yellow) data.
Can someone help me please...
Hope I explained myself good enough.
Thx a lot in advance!
