Re: HDD Disposal Data Security
lol... when u touch surface even without magnet it is already gone! :) 2010/10/17 Tina K. penguir...@gmail.com The eight year old HDD in my iMac finally died. Never having had an out-of-warranty HDD die before I decided to take it apart and see it's construction for myself. This is what brings me to my question. Are the rare earth (?) magnets that control the actuating arm strong enough to erase the data on the disk itself if they are simultaneously applied directly to both sides of the disk? It's not terribly important as I intend to physically destroy the disk, I'm just curious about this.

iTunes De-authorize issue on a G5
Hi all, Does anyone know how to de-authorize only one computer (out of the 5- station quota) on an iTunes account? My wife reached her limit with a new netbook a while ago - I bumped up her home office with a new (to her) G5, which needs authorizing. So far, the only options I can find are to tolerate the present state, or de-authorize all 5 stations in one fell swoop (which means all prior purchase records are lost-not good). I am sure that some of the stations being tagged are previous older Macs that did not get de-authorized. Any help would be appreciated.

MDD won't start after cloning
Hi, I have a problem that doesn't go away. I made a startup disk with Disk Utility, a clone because DU just copied the blocks, but that disk won't boot my Mac. I get the login screen even though I am admin and never see that screen normally. The same if I start up in Tiger or Panther. When I enter my correct name and password I am still denied access. This is very annoying. I checked the disk and permissions but still no go. I changed the permissions with Info to my name and still no go. I have all security features switched of as I am the only user anyway. What the h***? TIA for your suggestions.

We're concerned that de-authorization will wipe out the data that's been purchased. I'm of the opinion that de-authorizing (all 5) then re-authorizing your new Macs should not have a bearing on the data, but the Mrs. Isn't so sure, and, yeah, it is her stuff!

Dana, No, you can still authorize or deauthorize computers individually. Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize, go to the Advanced Menu, and then Deauthorize Audible Account. It will ask for your iTunes account handle and password, and you will be all set. And no, even if you deauthorize all computers from your iTunes account, and start from scratch, no purchase will be lost, ever -- unless you delete all your HDDs or something. Even then, it is possible that you could download again your purchases. I am sure that some of the stations being tagged are previous older Macs that did not get de-authorized. I had to deauthorize all my computers once for similar reasons. Rest assured that nothing will happen to your media. The process here would be similar, but in reverse: go to your account, deauthorize all computers, and then authorize one by one using the Advanced menu option in iTunes. HTH, Felix Thank you for the response, Felix. It is good to know - so appreciate it!

The same if I start up in Tiger or Panther. Disk Utility isn't probably the best utility to clone with. A better alternative would be Carbon Copy Cloner as freeware, or SuperDuper! as commercial shareware. When I enter my correct name and password I am still denied access. This is probably a cloning problem. Cloning by copying block-by-block has this problem because symlinks may be wrong on the new HD, as well as various other things. Disk Utility doesn't correct these issues, but can still work in many instances. My advice would be to try an boot as Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This will ditch all the old cache files and regenerate new ones which will likely be better for this clone. If you can't use your ~user name password to login, you can change this by either booting an OS X Install CD/DVD and using the Change Password command from the Menu Bar; OR, use instructions from here to change the password without an Install disc: http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/ I changed the permissions with Info to my name and still no go. I don't know what you changed, but this isn't a good idea. In Leopard you can't do this from the Get Info window, and if you need to do this at all, it's better to use a utility like BatchMod to change these. I'd run Disk UtilityRepair Permissions again to reset the ownerships permissions back to their correct default state. Once you can get booted by using either your old ~user password, or by refreshing or changing to a new one using the instructions I gave above, you can go to System PreferencesAccounts to make sure it won't give you a login window at startup again.
