Impossible to use a Vault on any disk

Hello all!
I'm very deprived of hope to solve this kind of problem.
24 hrs ago, Aperture begun to show error message when I'm trying to update the Vault.
Ok, It wasn't the first time. So, I've deleted the Vault for recreate a new one. But, with my surprise, Aperture show me the same message. The following list is what I've done.
- Erase the disk
- Change the disk and erase it
- Repair permission
- Rebuild VAACUM with cmd+alt at Aperture startup
- Rebuild Aperture Library
- Delete and re-install Aperture
- Delete and re-install Aperture and it preferences
- Re-Install Mac OS X, with archive and install option.
I've no idea how to solve the problem and I've searched everywhere for other articles with this kind of problem, but I've not found any answer that could help me.
I've another question... could I use Time Machine to backup the Aperture Library? Or not?
Thanks...
Guido

Finally I've solved the problem. It was third party edit plugin corrupted

How to find whether any disk arry is connected in the system

Hi Guys,
Please help me regarding Disk Array.
1) What command(s) should I use to check whether any disk array is connected in the server or not.
2) Please share the method for,
For single server system (A single sun server is connected with exernal disk array).
For Cluster server system (Two servers are connected as a sun cluster and Disk array is connected to the cluster as resource).
3) If the disk array is from SUN or from other vendor, how can i know that?
4) How to find how many disks are available in the Disk array?
Thanks

Wow... I got a reply from nik !!!
Thanks for your reply..
*1) I have a confussion that format command only report the local disks not external disks(Disk array). Is that correct?*
2) We have a cluster server V890+V890 + Disk-Array(Sun StorageTek). The format output is below.
*(5,6,7 & 8 are disk array?)*

3.4.1 won't let me export or use a Vault - any ideas?

Since upgrading to 3.4.1 I can't export pictures (masters or versions) nor can I create a vault. There may be other things I can't do, but just haven't discovered!
In both cases, when I select the action, nothing happens at all. After a while, the cursor is 'mine' again and it's as if I hadn't done the action. For the vault, I get the message about creating one, then click Continue - then... nothing.
I haven't seen this reported here or elsewhere - anyone have an idea as to what the problem is?
Thanks

I have not seen this error before. To check, if some setting in your User account is not consistent with the new version, try to export and to create a vault from a new user account - create one from the "System Preferences > Users & Groups" panel. Don't change any preferences when using the account.
If you can export from Aperture using the new account, check the following
Have you export presets defined? Then quit Aperture and remove the file
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Import Presets.plist from your user library. try again to export.
Have you export plug-ins installed? Check with the manufacturers website, if these plug-ins are compatible with Mt. Lion and install updated versions, if necessary. If no updated versions are available, deinstall them.
Your vault-problem: Is the vault on an external volume? How is it formatted? Is it a local volume or network voume? Have you checked the permissions? Can you create a vault on your system drive?
Do you use file-vault in your user account?
Be sure to make a Time machine backup of your aperture library, as long as you cannot create vaults.

You need to install the same major version of the runtime as the executable was built in. Installing older/newer versions of the runtime won't make any difference (although that doesn't hold true for device drivers like VISA, DAQmx) and won't allow you to run your executable.
LabVIEW executables REQUIRE the runtime - it is not possible to run a LabVIEW executable without it.
You need:
- Your application
- The LabVIEW runtime installed that matches the version the application was built in
- Any appropriate additional device drivers (e.g. NI VISA) or NI components
You are missing *something* from your installation...if you are using the MODBUS library I'm almost certain you will need NI VISA (as it uses serial or TCP/IP).
If your PC isn't booting, like I said - try to boot it without a network connection and see if that works.
Edit: Have you tried searching the forums for that specific error? I very quickly found this: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/HTTP-Client-Error-OpenHandle-vi-returns-error-code-1967362015/td-p/.... You might need to include some additional components in your installer like the web application server or the system web server.

Any Disk Image Checksumming gurus?

Hi
Guess this may be an appropriate place for this question.
I have never had occasion to use the checksum feature of Disk Utility much, but tried today. Confused.
Used a locked disk image to burn two copies on data DVD's (double layer.) One verified at end of process, one didn't, hence I turned to the checksumming.
Basically, several questions. The checksum for the image itself appears to change from inquiry to inquiry. I thought this was impossible, if the image was locked?
Same result with each DVD. When checksumming them, their values appear to be different each time the process is run. Obviously, I am missing something here, and any light shed would be appreciated. (I do have some familiarity with the checksum process as it relates to downloaded files, rejoined segments of same, etc.) TIA

Hi Every One
I know that this Problem happens with lots of people out there
It is not fault of Adobe, well Adobe is a good company, the problem is with the Vista Which has a hidden User Called Administrator.
Even if you are Administrator you don't have all the permission to access the files, All Permissions are only assigned to Core Administrator which is hidden.
If you want to enable that user here is the command for that
Open Run Type Cmd
and then type this ----- net user administrator /active:yes
now your hidden administrator is active, you can work with the hidden administrator. simply log off your user and log in to the new account named Administrator and enjoy more benefits for example you can start the setups and all other programs and the UCI will not pop up and will not distrube You every time plus you have access to every thing but there is only one problem that is security you must secure your computer with good firewall and antivirus coz now you are using core Administrator which have access to every thing.
Well This is the whole detail
Now we should come to the real problem which is faced by lots of Users of Adobe Encore CS3, That is Access Deneid while writing DVD above from 4.7 GB.
To Avoid that Simply right click on Adobe Encore CS3 and select Open as Administrator or the second way is to use core Administrator user.
Now every thing will work fine
Hope this will help you
Many Thanks

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

Greetings
                                    - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524      Some people report success after diskpart clean, but not us.

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

Where are you and where did you get the phone. This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

Impossible to use FF 19.02 under Windows 7/32

I give up.
Step one (this happens under Windows 7/32)
FF offered to upgrade from 15.01 to 19.0. I let it, it could not complete (patch failed). So I downloaded it and installed it (upgraded). All nice - but impossible to use the browser, or the google search. One types the address or the query and nothing happens. So I reverted to a previous version of windows and all was well.
Step two.
I install on a different machine, Windows 7/64. All works, but I have a hell of a time moving the settings. After an hour or more, all is well. So I decide that 19.02 will work on the 32 bit machine as well...
Step three.
I upgrade FF to 19.02 from the 15.01. All works, I am happy. I do some other things, stopping FF in between. The next time I start it, no go. Impossible to go to a website or to search. Hmmm, I think...
Step four.
Uninstall FF. Wash the disk so there are no remnants. Download and install FF 19.02 using IE. It does not work!
So: does anyone have an idea why? Here are some more weird things:
- on the first try (step one), all worked perfectly well outside the FF home page. I could click on links to get to website, I could type new addresses to the bar and go to new websites, I could click on my google link and search. But NOT from the home page.
- I tried to look at settings. Played with proxies (no proxy being my choice, but I also try aytomatic detection). Nothing. So I clicked on help - and that is how I got here and can write this,
And no, resetting won't help, there is nothing to reset!
Thanks for reading and perhaps helping.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Download and save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the latest Firefox 19.0.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Macbook Pro extremely slow all of a sudden, impossible to use.

Friday afternoon my Mac froze and after powering down and restarting, it has been extremely slow. Before now it was running perfectly. Now, it takes about 20 minutes to start up and then about another 20 minutes to load the dock and another 20 minutes to open an app, etc. It's impossible to use. I get the loading wheel between every word I type.
After running in safe mode/repairing hard drive/etc. nothing had changed. So I just decided to backup all of my stuff and try to restore it to factory settings. I erased the hardrive and set up my computer again. It's still running the same way though. Extremely slow, impossible to use.
I'm running on Mavericks 10.9.3. Is there anything I could do or could this be something like a failing hard drive?
I bought my mac about 8 months ago. I already made an appointment at the genius bar for tomorrow night but I would really really rather not have to go. The store near me is just horrible, they make up excuses to why your warranty might be void and they are just plain rude, from my experience and from what I've heard from many others they don't really know what they're doing.

tiffanyisweird,
your AHT should have been reïnstalled with the factory reset. It could well be copying the AHT to your internal disk now over the Internet.
Is that second closest store an Apple store, or an Apple-authorized service center? You might find that there’s an Apple-authorized service center closer than that second Apple store. (I’m about three hours away from my closest Apple store, but my closest Apple-authorized service center is less than two hours away.)

My macbook pro hard drive died. I only have a windows hard drive and an old powerbook G4 which of course you can't use to create a boot disk for my macbook. How can I solve this?

I can't get app store on my old power book to download OS X, My macbook pro hard drive died and all I have is a windows hard drive, still has windows os on it, a 500 Gb USB drive and this power book. How can I get my macbook back up without spending money? Thanks

And what happens if the OPs Mac is of a newer version that came with a version of Snow Leopard above the 10.6.3 version that is on that Retail, meant for Upgrade, disc? Like if it came with 10.6.4/.5/.6/.7? That disc you linked to would not work.
He needs to contact Apple and get a replacement set of Original System Reinstall Discs. That is the only way he can be assured it will work and he would also get the iLife apps which he wouldn't buying that DVD disc you linked to.

The Snow Leopard DVD is $20 from Apple. You'll just have to wait a few days. BTW this is a full installer that works with any model computer that can run SL. Apple used to ship recovery/installation disks that were tied to specific computer models so that a 15" MBP installer disk coudn't be used on a 13" MBP computer. So you need either full installer or the recovery disks for your specific model.
And BTW, I have a 2009 13" MBP w/8GB RAM that is running Mavericks. With a 5400 RPM drive I used to experience a bit of beach balling (think hour glassing) but an SSD has given it new life. It feels now slower than the newest MBPs - it obviously benchmarks considerably slower but in everyday use it doesn't feel like a 4 1/2 year old computer at all.

Satellite Pro A200: Recovery using a network ghost boot disk

Hi all,
Need to ghost several sat pro a200 machines using a network ghost boot disk. when i use the ghost disk provided by ghost boot wizard and booting into PC dos i get the message "No Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Found!" Serious Internal Error! (hardware works OK in XP/Vista)
i have tried booting from CD, Mem Stick and USB floppy with drivers from toshiba and realtek without any success, searches on google seem to point toward there needing to be a driver to interface with the cardbus / PCMCIA adapter - if this IS the case can anyone shed any light on the whereabouts of such a driver and how i could go about doing this?
Many thanks,
Gav Shakespeare.

Sorry folks answered my own question - the network card is reported as being an RTL8134 in windows XP but is in fact an RTL8100E/RTL8101E so i was using the wrong NDIS2 Driver!. doh!
emergency over.

Dreamweaver CC impossible to use on MacBook Pro 13" ?

Hi, I have a 13" MacBook Pro 2012 (classic, not retina). I installed Dreamweaver CC yesterday to continue working on a site I'm developing (I had it on my Mac desktop but needed to work while away from home).
I found the workspace layout of Dreamweaver CC impossible to use on a modern width site (around 970px wide). The inspectors/windows on the right hand side of the page are just too wide. I use a vertical split view with code and design. Has anyone found a good way to work on a 13" laptop with Dreamweaver CC? Thankfully I was able to find the download link for CS6 which seems hundreds of times more usable on the laptop but would like to upgrade to the latest software.
My native screen resolution is 1280 x 800.
Any tips?

You can change the width of the sidebar, but I agree there are things they could do with the design for smaller screens. I have an older MBP 15" with a 1440x900 display and I feel like I don't have enough room at times. Mostly my complaint is with the Files Panel because I work with a lot of content management systems with deep file structures. Nothing you can do, but I don't really think CC is a lot worse than CS6.

Can I clone to an external that has files on it, use it as a startup disk

I have an external firewire drive but I didn't partition it before I started Time Machine backups on it. I now need to clone my internal drive to the external and use it as a startup disk. I'm afraid it won't work if there are other files (LOTS) already there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Oh it will work, but it will also wipe the contents of the external, unless they are also on the internal. Clones make their source and destination identical, using the source as a reference point. Get another external hard drive if you wish to manage a clone, and a semi-archival backup. See my backup FAQ* on why I say Time Machine isn't quite a true archival backup, but can be modified to work as one*:
