Merger of Split drive

Hi, one of my clients wanted an SSD in its iMac 27 "and carries the iMac to Apple repair center.

They swapped the drive plate rotation with the SSD, and when he came to collect his iMac they told him that they also installed a new OS x disk.

He thought that all his data was still on the old drive that was out of the iMac...

At the point where it connected this drive 'old' with an external drive bay it says something like "this disk belonged to a unit of fusion and is unreadable you want to fix.

It turned out that my client has already had an SSD inside her iMac that has been configured as a drive of fusion with plate spinning disc.

The guys at Apple has changed the drive plate rotation with the SSD and done a fusion drive now the two SSD drives and installed a clean OSX on them / it.

My question: is it still possible for my client to get hold of the data on the disk from spinning plate?

Thank you

iMac 27 "end 2103, El Capitan OSX 10.11.4

It's weird. It makes no sense to create a player from the merger of two SSD drives.

If he has saved his computer before he considers, Yes. If not, no.

  • Creating a new iTunes merged on external drive library

    I'm currently using 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 - I got lots and lots of problems with iTunes and libraries corrupt and have got to the point where I did all my playlists and so on are lost.

    I'm done with all my music files shared between two folders - there are duplicates between these records, but as far as I know, nothing is actually missing. As I don't have enough space on the hard drive of the current computer to consolidate those two files, I have them have copied onto an external hard drive - now I want to consolidate the library on the external hard drive in order to pass all the music to a new version of iTunes on my new iMac.

    Can someone tell me how can I do? I guess I need to move the iTunes application itself on the external drive to consolidate the two music files here - it is a simple process, and it will work?

    First of all, you must certainly not move the application iTunes itself.  Secondly, as you said you copied your separate music files on the external hard drive you should still have them in their location of origin - otherwise, you should copy them back again before proceeding and make sure you can always play your music in iTunes.  The function of the iTunes "Consolidate library" is to copy the media files from their current locations to another of your choice, and update the iTunes database so that all references to the location of your media files are correctly updated.

    The correct procedure to follow is:

    1. External hard disk, create a folder called "iTunes", then in this folder, create one called "iTunes Media.
    2. In iTunes, select iTunes > Preferences > advanced, and then change the setting for the iTunes Media folder iTunes/iTunes Media on your external drive
    3. Now select file > library > organize a library..., check the files to consolidate and, if not grayed, the reorganize files.. box
    4. Click OK - iTunes won't copy each multimedia file that is located in a valid entry in your database for iTunes to the hierarchy of standard folder in iTunes/iTunes Media external hard disk
    5. Once this process is complete, check that your music plays again - when you have verified the results, you can then delete the original files that iTunes has just copied your media since.

    This will produce a working library with all media on the external hard drive, as you have described.  However, at this point, you have a shared library with the database of iTunes and other data to support on a single disc and your media on another.  Manipulation of backups, migrating to a new computer, replication to other computers, etc., works best if you have the complete library on the external hard drive - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  • The faulty Synaptics Touchpad on x 2 13-m121sa Split driver causing frost and lack of response from the mouse

    Edit: I found a solution, scroll down.

    I had problems with my new Split x 2 similar to those already explained in the forums by other users. The symptoms are:

    1. unusual hanging or freezing of the mouse pointer on the screen and the use of gestures temperament (two fingers to scroll, zoom, etc.).

    2. slowdown in the computer in general; acting lethargic and freezing during light use or after closing the display.

    The symptoms seem to change according to the duration of the computer was operated and are affected by the screen from the dock of disconnection/reconnection.

    Being very good with these things, I decided to investigate and discovered the following:

    The root cause of both problems is the driver for the Synaptics Touchpad. While the latest version available on the HP website (17.0.10.9) seems to solve all unusual freezing of the pointer it has a large memory leak. In other words, when you move it on the touchpad pointer uses the memory of the computer. This is normal, but the problem is that the driver for the touchpad does not return memory; It cannot be reassigned. In other words, after a few hours of computer use (or to have the display closed) memory reached saturation point and the version of the computer to a halt.

    If you encounter the same problem take a look for yourself: open the Task Manager and look at the performance tab. Under the brief entitled you will find a value for "Non paged pool. With the computer idle, this number will not rise, but move the mouse and you will see it go gradually upwards without return. I have confirmed this to be the Synaptics driver using the Windows tool poolmon.exe - the culprits are the Irp and SynT.

    About the solutions, I tried a lot - but there is no absolute solution.

    You can uninstall the Synaptics Touchpad driver and the problem will disappear - the memory usage is no longer freezing or high. But unless the driver that the computer is to use the standard Windows driver - there is therefore no multitouch gestures like scroll or zoom in.

    I tried to install the generic Synaptics driver available on their site, and the computer will not allow him. Regardless of this, I forced the installation of the driver, but the generic driver does not work with this Touchpad anyway (error code 10). I tried the latest version (17.0.19) and a former one (16.2.21) without success. Even earlier (e.g. 15.x.x) refused to run on the grounds of incompatibility.

    HP support suggested a "Refresh" of system setting to factory, but put aside from the huge inconvenience of time and losing files - I know that this does not work either. Apparently a clean install worked for a single user - but for this you need an installation of Windows or USB disc that I did not - and I am skeptical that it would work anyway.

    So now I use the touchpad driver Windows standard without being able to scroll, zoom or use them slide-in gestures of Windows 8.1.

    If a representative from HP is reading this, I strongly suggest that this issue be escalated. A simple update to Synaptics could solve this problem which is causing the computers people freeze and lose your support staff time.

    TL; DR: Driver HP Touchpad is defective and causes a memory leak. Synaptics has generic drivers do not work. And the standard Windows drivers are not satisfactory.

    SOLVED!

    Through my own research I found a solution. While the most recent driver listed under this model is 17.0.10.9 it is actually a newer version which doesn't have this problem: version 17.0.10.16!

    I am always disappointed that HP has not suggest this solution themselves, given this driver was published in November 2013! HP if you're reading this: Please allow this driver for this model in your support pages.

    In any case, the solution is:

    1. open Device Manager (Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Device Manager)

    2 in the 'mice and other pointing devices' open «HID Synaptics TouchPad»

    3. in the "Driver" tab, click "Uninstall".

    4. the pointer will disappear - restart the computer

    5. download the new driver from here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk & lc = on & softwareitem = ob-127354-1

    (if that link fails try to search online for 'synaptics driver 17.0.10.16')

    6. open and install the driver

    I hope this helps. HP, please send my consulting fees through PayPal (!)

  • Replace merge with ssd drive, cannot be done?

    My hard drive of my iMac 27 ", end 2012, is running out. It has a fusion of 1 TB drive.

    I asked the service guy how much it would cost to replace the 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD drive.

    He said that one cannot do. He claims that the only thing that can be installed is a 'disk original Apple', given that she is a fusion player, he has several sensors that a regular disk or an ssd, does not.

    Is this true? I thought drive merger was only a software technology "pair" a small disc with an older hard drive ssd.

    Of course, it is possible, but understand that the HARD drive in the computer has a special sensor used for the detection of the temperature and the fan control. In addition, what you ask is probably not an Apple authorized the change. A Fusion drive uses the features of Mac OS X CoreStorage to create the Fusion drive and manage. However, in itself a Fusion drive does not require any special equipment unless one you have used flash PCI-e instead of a real SSD memory.

    If your computer is no longer under warranty and complete loss of any future Apple support doesn't bother you, then you can make the change yourself.

  • How to merge the C drive and unallocated space

    I recently had a new 1 TB HDD in my count and then I had to download Windows XP Pro as my old hard drive crashed. In under disk 0 disk management, I (c :)) 128.00 GB and to the right, I have not allocated 803,52 GB.)  I'm not sure how it happened.  I guess that something I had put on Windows XP Pro.

    My question is that I can combine the two together.  The C drive and the unallocated space.  There are no other disks shown but C.  Thanks Reta

    It happened because you have installed a copy of "gold" Windows XP, (an original version without a service pack).  Released as Windows XP did not support 48-bit LBA so it truncated the disc to 137 GB (128 GB binary) and the rest of the unallocated disk, slipstreaming of service packs for the Windows XP CD would have allowed windows to correctly see the entire disk.  The only way to solve this problem now is to use a third-party partititionneur.  You can use the free trial version of BootItNG to merge partitions.  You do not need to install BootItNG, when you get to the Setup screen simply cancel the installation and you will enter the maintenance mode where you will be able to partition work.

  • How to merge the C drive to the D drive

    My local C drive has 100 GB on it. I have another volume of disk D with gb 122 on it.

    Now, I know that this question has been asked many times before, but I am still very confused with how you can actually merge the two into a main C drive.

    I find it very strange that ASUS (my computer) performs the main drive that is smaller than the other partition.

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Merger of iMac Drive need defrag?

    Hello

    I have a question for a long time I use windows and os x, and when I was on windows I analyze my hard and when I delete a large file I see Create a lot of distance between the files, so that was delay to read some files and use the defragmentation and which is really helping quick access my files and less pressure on my hard drive

    There's my basic question ' Mac think about it? How? " because there is no program for mac except IDefrag, which is not yet in the App Store

    Thanks for listening

    Defragmentation or erase free space accomplishes nothing. Apple moved space disk on the fly, so that all the big files are overwritten and the smallest are copied during the first. It may even be dangerous to do any of these procedures on an SSD.

  • 100 GB Vista full boot need to merge with the E drive.

    I have vista, my startup diskc: disk is full Iwant to merge the e drive?

    100 GB full Vista, 1 disk boot hard need to merge with the E drive part.  HOW?

    Hello

    What is the size of the E:Drive?

    E: drive may be the recovery disk to reinstall the OS, if there is between 5-15GBs.

    Do not touch, except to make the recovery of the disks.

    Here is the info on the recovery disks >

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: or E: drive of recovery should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If E: is not the recovery disc, with disc of Vista management you must use all the space of the E: drive, doesn't not part of the E:.

    See if this applies to your situation.

    Save all data on E: > E: remove > and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where E: was.

  • Organizer of the PSE 14 create pictures twice on HARD drive

    In fact, what happens when I import photos from an image folder on my hard drive in 14 PSE Organizer?  Is it creates copies of these files?  Where on my drive hard Organizer stores its imports?

    Lightroom Noob says:

    Thanks again Michel for all the good info.  This may sound as if I prefer pressing the folder structure for a catalog, but it's just that until recently I had little choice. I'm new to Photoshop Elements, having received PSE14 this past Christmas and up to install about 2 months, I had to rely on the structures of folders to organize the photos on my hard drive!   Now, I'm just trying to understand how better to implement the PSE Organizer.

    This is a common situation and generally elements users begin using the Organizer only when they really feel the need for a more powerful organization. I have friends who are perfectly happy with their own folder organization. They are also much better than I remember when a given event took place or they have their own hierarchies of folders for other subjects.

    So what about my example question (posted yesterday), I think that tell me in fact to pass the sentence rather misplaced files in my files, I just catalogue them properly organizing using the PES - am I not right?

    It's true in general, but there may be good reasons to separate your files in different folders or different disks and volumes. If you have your photos on multiple disks, you can keep a single catalog and manage everything. It's perhaps a good solution to get more disk space.

    With the Organizer, you also have the choice to separate your photos in different catalogues. It is a choice with the following main rules:

    -different catalogs are ok (and recommended) for totally different activities (personal professional vs...)

    -different catalogs are NOT the solution to work faster. Size of the catalogue is negligible for speed.

    -You can easily merge or split catalogs.

    I should also mention that if you have reasons to prefer a folder with a navigation software organization, you can use Adobe Bridge:

    Re: Where is bridge in items 10?

    Re: elements does support bridge?

    I'm partial to the Organizer, but the bridge can be what you want.
