external hdd not recognized by mac with wii games?

the "emo v

Hello all, to get straight to the point i have a 500 gb external USB hard drive and i have a few wii games on it for my soft modded wii. I had been putting the games onto my hard drive from the wii until recently i found a website that i can download custom games such as guitar hero led zeppelin, nsmb the next levels and so on and so forth. Anyway the point is that after a few years of going through the PC i bought the new 2012 iMac and i got wbfs manager 1.2 on it but when i plug my hard drive into my mac it says that it can't use it. I've tried going through Disk Utility and mounting it manually from there but it just stayed greyed out. I would like to put some more custom games on it but i can't get it working right. I have all of my games at home on the hard drive and some from a few friends and i don't want them to be erased.

Thank you

Macbook Air 2012 installing windows 7 on an external hard drive with a fake windows 7 CD?

Thekidtrio

Ok so. I want to install windows 7 on a mac. I've done it twice, the last time was with a Macbook Pro, and i bricked it. I don't wanna make that mistake again. So i want to install windows 7 on a external hard drive and use it on the Air, is that possible?

Answer
You can't brick a computer lol. Also to install windows on a mac base pc you have to use bootcamp simple as that.

Mac, Linux and Flash?

Austin W

I'm going to buy a mac, the mid 2012 13 inch, non retina. i have been finding some stuff out and its been raising questions. one i cannot store anything on my current computer so its all on an external HD. I'm running ubuntu 10.04 so one issue, will mac OS X mountain lion read the hard drive at all? I found that all the file types are compatible except .odt and .mkv which i can convert all of them and I'm almost finished I just found an app for the .mkv videos. Also i watch a lot of anime.

So here is question 1 : will may favourite sites like youtube, anime44, anime shipuudden, fanfiction.net and anime seed all load quickly and will i be able to stream the flash videos?

Question 2: will I be able to open my external hard drive and copy everything to the mac without having to format and loose all 200GB of my precious data?

Answer
The answer to both questions is yes. If the drive is formatted as Ext2/Ext3 then these utilities will do the job:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-ext2/

You can also just mount the drive across the network and copy data that way.

Should I go with internal or external Hard Drive?

Jake

I am talking about the late 2012 Mac mini (2.3 ghz). I can't decide wether I should install a second drive inside the machine or just go with a USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. The second drive will be mostly for time machine backups and maybe some other stuff. Thanks!

Answer
For backups it's always a good idea to have them physically separate from the machine. In case something happens with the laptop or it gets stolen, the internal drive would be lost too.

Can I install an operating system downloaded to my computer to an external mac harddrive?

Sahra S

I already have a USB connection to the external drive to my computer
The OS for the Mac is OS X Tiger (10.4.6) and I'm downloaded this OS to my Hp Windows 7 laptop and it's in the form of an iso image..How do I proceed?

Answer
Which operating system and which computer are you downloading it on?

An external Mac hard drive can be set up as a bootable OSX system drive.
It has to be formatted with GUID partition map, and formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which would be normal for a Mac drive.

You need to have a workable installer, which could be on DVD or in an ISO file.
If you have a Mac machine, you can clone the drive to the external with Carbon Copy Cloner and it will be bootable.
