So I purchased Hollywood Strings (a Mac-version software that is sold on a WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX internal HDD) and I own a Macbook Pro that runs on Mac 10.7.5. I’m attempting to transfer the software from the WD internal drive into my laptop via a Voyager Q SATA dock. After plugging the internal drive into the dock, and having a firewire 800 cable go from the dock to my laptop, I power up the SATA dock and it seems like the WD internal drive powers up (I hear it vibrating) yet I don’t get any desktop icon to pop up on my homescreen or in the finder. I then removed the firewire cable and attempted to transfer using a SATA cable into a LACIE thunderbolt conversion dock which emits a thunderbolt cable into my thunderbolt input on my laptop. Still nothing. I should add that on the SATA dock there are two lights; blue to show that its powered up, and red to indicate that there is disk activity. I am only getting a blue light, no red for disk activity (yet the drive seems to be running as it is clearly making sounds). Please help me with what I perhaps am doing wrong here. The software is $600 so I’m in need of getting it to work. I don’t have a mac pro to just insert the SATA drive into it. I need to do this via my laptop. Thanks,
Dave
Turns out, the dock I bought on eBay is faulty and even worse, Sweetwater shipped out the wrong harddrive (WIN, not MAC). Gotta love eBay…
Now it’s just dealing with Sweetwater to ship out the appropriate drive or otherwise refund me the difference. Case closed.
