How do I deal with a fire wire HD after iSight has corrupted all the files?

Hi
When I bought iSight I was unaware that it works with pityfully few firewire hubs such as Belkin powered FW hub. I corrupted two drives before asking the forum who were very helpful.
After the corruption the files could not be read from the HD nor could the HD be written to. I managed to get the data off the HDs by connecting to another computer. They work perfectly on the other rig. However when I try to use them on the computer that they were corrupted on it is the same no IO without an error message. I have tried all the usual privileges stuff, ignore ownership etc but no go. Any ideas as to how I can use them with the original computer?
Thanks all

Hello Again Gordon Bennet!,
The above was the easy fix for your problem which is an I/O issue.
If you want to live on the edge, AFTER making a backup, are you are familiar with with how to use 'Console'? It's in Applications-Utilties-Console.
If so, can you access the logs and see if the sort of read error that has been logged? It is also possible (although improbable) that the OS logged a detailed message elsewhere.
Good luck and even though not "solved" here in the iSight group, you might try your HD question in Computing Hardware and under your MacMini group to see if anyone has better answer/solution.
Respectfully,
Bill Gallagher

  • I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

    I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

    What version of Photoshop are you running?
    I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
    This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).

  • How do I stop flashplayer playing, until it has downloaded ALL the file?

    I use Flashplayer 10.1 on Windows 7 64 Bit in Chrome, but my internet is not especially fast.
    I want to watch news reports eg on the BBC or newspaper web sites: - but not in stop-go motion and stutter speed; I want to let the entire clip download and cache itself and THEN play it. How do I do that - presently if I stop the video, it stops the download too! (Or I want to save the video clip, and play it later - I cannot do that either).
    The way it is now it is unuseable!

    AFAIK this is not something that you can control on the client side, it is controlled by the server applications.
    In other words, Flash Player has no control over the applications at the BBC or newspaper web sites.  (E.g. on Youtube, if I pause a slow video, it will continue downloading, and I can resume the display when the download is complete.)

    How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

    Hi,
    Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
    (a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
    You can buy from this:
      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Ports-PCI-Express-PCI​-E-IEEE-1394A-Firewire-Adapter-Cable-Card-/1507023​...
    (b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

  • TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • How do I deal with constant "error loading content" messages?

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!

  • How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

    I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
    For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
    But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
    The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
    The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
    The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
    This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
    When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
    ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;
    How can I deal with this problem? Thanks.

    So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
    The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
    RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
    If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
    Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.
