Cloning OS2 HDD to USB stick hangs at a file with the same name ???

Hi,
I'm dragging my MacIntosh HD icon to a large USB stick in order to clone it because I'm going to install OS X Tiger onty my iMac G3/400 DV SE. The copying initiates, it starts, and after a few hundreds of MB's a small window pops up with this remark (translated from Dutch) :
" The file XXXXX cannot be copied because another file with the same name exists already." The window has two buttons : STOP and Continue. No matter which button I click, the process stops and I'm left with a few hundred MB on my USB stick. Deleting the "double" file doesn't help because a few minutes later another one pops up.
How is this possible? The USB stick is completely empty! Can anybody tell me what's going on and how to stop this, otherwise I'll never be able to clone the HDD.
Thanks for your kind information,
Paul

It was a bug in Classic OS, which was manifest in certain circumstances. My workaround was, at that time, to isolate the rascal (was possible, like in your case), eliminate it, then add it later.
Such events may occurs with Mac OS X files too, I cannot figure out why. One or two apps in my software archive usually do that.
another workaround it to archive it (.zip now, .sit in classic Mac OS), check whether applicable.

Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port.

Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port...
Someone told me just to remove the chip in clicking it to the trash can and voilá - it would be done. But as I did so, on the screen appeared a text which let me know, that that way had been the wrong one...
I should have clicked Finder plus something.... which I do not now remember but which was then not found behind the Finder.
So please would someone be so kind and tell me, where I can find explanations for the most simple functions. The manual I got does not include a clue.
Thank you!

First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
Here is a detailed help document on the subject.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

Arch from hdd to usb-stick?

Hi all.
After installing and playing with Arch on a normal desktop computer I have the required functionality and it work very well. But i'm struggling with how i should make the USB stick based on the installation i already have.
root ~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 15G 1.9G 12G 14% /
dev 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
run 2.0G 264K 2.0G 1% /run
/dev/sda2 15G 1.9G 12G 14% /
shm 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda4 442G 222M 420G 1% /home
/dev/sda1 471M 30M 417M 7% /boot
this should fit on a 4gb USB disk without any problems. I dont think there is any reason to use more than one partition on the usb-stick so my plan was to rsync the root of my hdd to the USB stick, update the fstab, chroot to the usbstick and reinstall syslinux. But i cant get this to work.
So how would you make a live-usb-stick from an existing installation?

thank you, you guys rock! brain0 was spot on, I had forgotten the mkinitcpio stuff! Now everything works.
I didn't use the UUID format, and used the /dev/sda1 instead, but thats easy to change. i was of the impression that the UUID was tied to the hardware device, but is it actually just the filesystem? So if i dd the usb-stick to another stick the UUID will still be correct?
(and then i forgot to push the submit button, so in the meantime i found the documentation in the arch wiki. UUID is the identifier for the file-system so I guess moving it to different hardware shouldn't be a problem)
For future reference:
fdisk <blablabla>
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/dest
rsync -avP /home/usb_backup1/ /mnt/dest/
lsblk -f
vim /mnt/dest/etc/fstab
mount -t proc none /mnt/dest/proc
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dest/dev
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/dest/sys
mount --rbind /run /mnt/dest/run
mount --rbind /tmp /mnt/dest/tmp
chroot /mnt/dest /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
vim /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
mkinitcpio -p linux
syslinux-install_update -ami
vim /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
reboot
boot into USB device

Is it possible (if so: how) to store an i-Photo file (with an average of 50 photos per file) onto a USB-stick, in a way that the file with the heading (e.i.'holidays' or 'work') remains in tact? If I click 'export' all photos are stored separately. Thanks

I am trying to store I-Photo files onto a USB-stick, keeping the file (with an average of 50 photos) in tact. Is this possible and if so: how, please? I have tried clicking on 'export' and then click on the name of the USB-stick. But by doing this all photos seem to be stored separately, under their image number - and not under the file name. Which makes it near impossible to easily refind the photos on the USB-stick.
Thanks for advice

Dear Alex,
If I understand correct your post you are confused with difference of loading procedure between real smartcard and SDK simulation. It is a fact that simulation uses its own loader application and smartcards usually use GlobalPlatform card manager application. To load CAP file to the GP compliant card it is necessary to use sequence of commands such as INSTALL(load),LOAD,INSTALL(install+make_selectable). I do not know any specific java API to perform this loading with any reader. But there are few software programs from various card producers. This software is usually distributes toghether with smartcards.

Playing songs from USB Stick on a stereo equiped with a USB plug

We just purchased a stereo that has a USB plug. The box / manual says it can play mp3's from a USB stick. We've copied mp3's to the stick, but can't seem to get them to play on the stereo. Is there a certain way / format this is to be done to be successful?

Have you tried formatting the stick as DOS first?
This is under Sys>Prefs> Disk Utility

A terminal for users to scan USB sticks before they use them on the domain?

I've use stand alone sheep dips a lot, however...
Make sure you connect them to an isolated network connection to the internet for updates once a day, this must be separate (use a different VLAN and ACL if you have to).
The machine must be rebuilt, or have two and rotate them on a regular basis (each week?) or when an infected USB device is inserted (don't risk other devices), at this point format, format and format a few more times that USB stick before it's allowed to be removed!

Anyone else come up with anything like this or have any recommendations for how they did it or what they used?We're fairly tight here when it comes to malware, our firewalls scan incoming and outgoing traffic, we run Kaspersky on our servers alongside Webroot as well as Webroot on our user end points.Yet stuff still gets through, we recently got hit by a crypto which wiped out our finance file share (lucky we have backups), it avoided KES and that's actually why we've been running Webroot along side it. It's very very likely that this came in via a USB stick (avoiding 40k worth of enterprise firewalls), our users are very carefree when it comes to where they get them and what they do with them. External contractors and alike have been allowed to use their USB sticks on domain machines and it's been an uphill battle to get people to...

Can the usb sync/power cable that came with the iPhone 3g and 4 handle the 2.1 amps drawn by the ipad 2 (if used with the 10w plug) without risk of overheating?

I recently made the mistake of buying a cheap sync cable from a well known auction site becuase I wanted a longer cable than comes in the box for my ipad 2.
Whilst my iPad will sync OK, it takes an age to charge (using the standard 10w plug in the wall). I don't fully understand the science in the cables, but assume it is not a big enough cable to handle the current/2.1 amps?.
If like house wire you send too much current through a cable that is to small for the job it risks overheating and causing a fire.
Does this same principle apply to the iPad power lead?
Anyway back to the question, can I use other leads I have hanging around the house from my previous iphones and ipods to charge my ipad (again still using the 10w plug in the wall) or will the cable in these be too small to handle the 2.1 amps required by the ipad?
I don't want to risk overheating the cables and causing a short to break my beloved iPad 2...!

Thanks for your replies.
Not sure they entirely answer my question though.
I have used my different cables and can see that they are actually working (charging and syncing etc), but am i using old cable that was not intended to draw 2.1 amps and so may overheat and cause damage in the long run?
Or did apple deliberately over engineer the original cables which were only needed to supply 1 amp and they can actually be used to draw 2.1 amps comfortably?
Whilst the 30 pin connectors and usb points are identical, is the internal cable thickness/awg gauge the same?
Thanks

I can export many iphoto events to a Data stick. I want to do the same with a DVD. When I do the DVD window is blank. If I drag and drop can only do one. Help

I can "export", using file, many iphoto events to a data disk. When I do the same to a DVD the DVD window is blank and nothing has been exported. When I use drag and drop to a DVD it works but I can only get one event on the disk. How do I export many iphoto events to a DVD. I am using a write only DVD. I am using a Mac Book Pro OS 10. Thanks in advance.
Gord

When I click on the data stick icon on my desk top a window comes up. It lists the various events that I have exported. If i click on an event each picture shows up in a list. I can click on the picture and view a jpeg photo or view a avi video. When I export I select "original" as the file type. When I export to a DVD and klick on the the DVD icon the window shows up but it is blank.

Can a USB Keyboard/Barcode reader be used with the USB port on the CRio

Is it possible to use a USB Keyboard or Barcode reader with the USB port on the CRio, I know you can use this port with a USB memory device, but what about other devices?
I have a project that requires that all hardware elements be connected to the controller and use the HMI purely for display,
anybody any ideas??

Hi kmoyna,
The standard CompactRIO range's USB host ports are not suitable for standard USB devices like keyboards or barcode readers - they are intended only for use of mass storage devices. From your description, it seems your project's requirements would be best met by the newer models, cRIO-9081 or cRIO-9082. These two units have Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) and allow the direct connection of a monitor and standard USB devices. We now also have similar stand-alone CompactDAQ models running WES7 - cDAQ 9139.
I would recommend calling into your local branch to discuss your project further with one of our engineers. If you're in the UK, it's 01635 523 545 - or view contact details for other branches.

Why don't USB stereo audio input devices work with the iPod Touch 4G?

The Fostex AR-4i and the Line6 Mobile In provide stereo audio input via USB on the iPads and the iPhone 4.
Why can't these devices work on an iPod Touch 4G?

Does the manufactur say it works with the iPod Touch? Many accessories do not work with all three iDevices (iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone)
