60GB HD only shows as 31GB after crash?

Hi all,
I had a hard drive have a directory failure. The drive just dissapeared from the desktop one day. It showed in disk utility, but only as a 31.5GB drive when it's actually 60GB.
Neither Disk Utility, Disk Warrior or TechTool could repair the drive, but I recovered all the data (~50GB of it) using Techtool. I then erased the drive using disk utility, and went to copy all the data back, but it reports that there isn't enough space, as Disk Utility only formatted the drive as 31.5GB.
Disk Warrior and Techtool both report no problems with the drive, and the SMART status is OK.
So, how do I format the drive back to it's correct 60GB?
G4/933 1.2GB 60/60/120GB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, Jamie -
If this is a drive that was added (and not one that
came with the machine originally), some drives have
an additional jumper setting that limits the drive's
apparent capacity to 32GB. This was done in response
the some PC CPUs not being able to address any drive
larger than that.
Check your drive for such a jumper, and remove it if
found.
I'll have a look just in case, but this drive has been in there for a few years happily working at 60GB, so it seems strange that it would drop to 31GB now.

Only show certain fields after a date has passed

How would I set a recordset to only show certain fields after
a date has
passed?
For example:
I have a list of classified adverts some which include an
image which the
client pays extra for. After a certain time period, say, 1
year,
would it be possible to use some kind of IF statement (or
something) to no
longer show the image?
Thanks
Gary

scrap that entire post man.
I'll rewrite it here in a few.

IMovie only show background music after connecting to my external iMovie Mediathek, no video!!! desperat, i potentially lost a big project...

I work with an external iMovie-Mediathek so my big project don't mess up my macbook. I was working on a big project (45 min.) after the program crashed. Now, when I try to connect again to the external Mediathek, it will only show the background music I used, no video material at all... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in the "events"-section, it looks normal with the preview just like always during the last couple of days... It even shows the size of the file with 146GB (which is correct), but still only the music is displayed (about 7 tracks).
I need urgent help. Same thing happened to the security-backup I make regularly...

Here's a picture of the iM window. 3 Projects available but only 2 desplayed? HOW I GET MY 3rd PROJECT BACK????

500 GB TC only showing 476.9 after erase.

After erasing TC to start a new fresh install, I only show 476.9 GB capacity. Shouldn't it be 500 since it's a 500 GB? Or at least a bit closer than 476.9?
I opened the TC and manually deleted all files and then erased through AirPort Disks.
Is 476.9 a normal true capacity for the 500 GB or have I lost 23.1 Gig somehow?
Thanks.

That is normal. When you format a drive you always lose some space. The bigger the drive, the more space you lose. On my 1TB drive, there is only around 960GB of free space. Just look at the hard drive on your computer and you will see that the total space of the drive does not match what you would have on paper (ie: if you have an 80GB drive you will see that you really only have around a 71GB partition.
This might help explain it better

Related people only showing 3 labels after restore on iphone 4s

Hi All
I am trying to teach Siri my family, but after I restore from backup of my iphone 4 on Ios 5 GM, I only have 3 labels for the related people field (Spouse,Manager,Assistant). I have checked on a fresh iPhone setup and contact displays labels correctly (mother, father, sister, brother, parent, ect).
Is there something I am missing, starting from scratch is not ideal.
Thanks
TO CALRIFY I NOW aHAVE A 4S, no option under hardware???Really??

Hi -
Here is the problem - the contact database you are using only support these 3 fields.
This means that on your phone there is a contact that is of you, but that contact is NOT on iPhone's contact list but maybe on google's contacts list, or MS exchange contact list , yahoo's contact list.
Move your contact info into the local iphone or onto iCloud and delete the other on that's outside.
One easy way is to goto your own contact ( IE if you are John Smith ) look for John Smith, and them scroll down and do a Share contact , email this contact to yourself, and then click on edit , and DELETE yourself from your phone.
New goto email and RE-ADD yourself but make sure in it adds it to the iCloud - so make sure your default contact list is your iPhone not your gmail or MS exchange , yyahoo etc, hotmail , etc.
Then goto genernal under settings, set SIRI to your new contact you just added.
Now should be able to have a bunch of relationship fields.
In Siri Say : My wife is x Y
My Brother is y z
etc.
keep going , and then once you're done , you can manaully add other ones by editing your own contact , and add fields like big brother, or little sister.etc.
Hope this helps,
Ronny

MDC not showing in XSAN after crash

Hi,
We have a cluster composed of 2 IntelMac XServes acting as controllers and 3 mac clients. The primary controller MDC1 crashed due to bad memory. Now MDC2 appears to be the acting controller and the raid is mounted on it as well as the clients. We replaced memory in MDC1 but now it does not mount the volume and MDC1 is not listed among the computers connected to XSAN. Also, XSAN admin shows the license that belongs to MDC1 as not used by a machine. We tried adding MDC1 to the list of computers but XSAN admin crashes with these errors in the log:
Aug 26 15:19:25 sphinx [0x0-0x234234].com.apple.XsanAdmin[44701]: Assertion failed: (self.computer != nil), function -[SANRemoteAction startExecution], file /SourceCache/XsanAdmin/XsanAdmin-184.1/SANRemoteAction.m, line 386.

Aug 26 15:19:26 sphinx com.apple.launchd[1] ([0x0-0x234234].com.apple.XsanAdmin[44701]): Exited abnormally: Abort trap
Any suggestions on how to put the old MDC back in XSAN?
Thanks in advance

If you're feeling nervous about testing the new controller, I would backup your data first, if at all possible, then when your SAN is not busy, fail the volume over to the other controller. That is, make sure your MDC1 is added as a controller, and is set up in the volume failover list, then fail the volume (in Xsan admin, or using cvadmin). The volume control should move over to the other controller, if not check out the reason (bad cables, no md network, bad configs, etc).

80GB Classic only showing 74.31GB

I just bought an 80GB Classic. When I connected it to my PC and ITunes pulled up to register and sync my tunes it shows my HD capacity as 74.31GB.
Can anybody explain this?

This is normal not just for an 80 GB iPod but for virtually any device or computer with an 80 GB drive.

G5 only shows digital snow after Safari 3.2.1 update!

I have a G5 2Ghz DP running OS 10.5.5 with 4GB mem, ATI Radeon X800 graphics card and AJA Kona, and Sonnet Tempo SATA for an internal 1TB RAID additional to the OS drive's 320 GB. After running the last update that offered Safari 3.2.1 my computer now only displays "digital snow" on both the DVI desktop display and even on the AJA. All was fine until it rebooted for the install. Now I cannot see anything to do anything. I have even tried logging in through screen share on back to my mac but only get the same display but I can at least see where the mouse pointer is by how the snow moves on the other computer. BTW, the computer's fans are now "moaning" by running slowly then slightly faster in a 3 second cycle.
How can I force the computer to recognize the video card? would yanking that card and restarting without a card then replacing it bring it back to where I can see the displays? Help!

Hello,
I fixed it!!!!!!! Yes! Ok. Well I don't have an earthly clue to what the folder did, or where it went or came from, but the SuperDrive (TSST Corp HD-DVD-RW+-RDL/CD-RW) was not the Apple Shipped Drive. So I put the original Apple Shipped Drive (Pioneer DVD/CD-RW) ComboDrive back in there and it actually came up! So then I got my Mac OS X 10.4.6 Tiger (Retail) Install/Restore DVD and put it in there so fast that I put it in upsidedown and was scared that it wouldn't work when I saw that it never mounted on the desktop. So then I ejected the ComboDrive, and saw that it was upsidedown, and said F**k I'm an idiot!, and put it back in there (once more) and it mounted and so I did a clean install with the ComboDrive, then when it finished, I put the SuperDrive back in and it was actually recognized! Then I did another Clean install so that it saw that it was the main optical drive, and it too, worked!!!
Well, Thanks for your help guys. I appreciated it. Alot!!!
Cheers!

Lightroom Import only shows gray boxes after Importing

Hello All,
I'm an long time LR user whom have come across a problem. I run a HP DV6 Laptop with Core I7 and Windows 7. While editing my photos my computer appeared to over heat (which is a recurring issue that I'm working to resolve) during mid-post production. Upon restarting my computer, and when I accessed the same photos, I got a very lengthy loading icon when I clicked on a photo under the "Develop" tab. This problem recurred and in attempt to resolve the problem I decided to delete the library and re-import the files. Upon re-import, I cannot view all the photos in the library grid view. Would some please help me with this? Its very frustrating because I'm not sure if my files are now corrupt from the sudden crash or is it just a data issue with LR? Please let me know!
I've attached a screen shot of what the problem library looks like...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That looks like a corrupt monitor profile, which you could test by temporarily assigning an sRGB profile to the monitor. Have a look at this post:

250 Gig HD only shows 182 gig after install

Hi everyone.
I have an issue that has been bugging me for about 2 years. I am getting ready to do a major back-up and reinstall and thought i would ask about this.
The beast is a 700 mhz flat panel G4 768mb ram iMac. I installed a Seagate (i think, its been a while) 250 gb hard drive but it only recognizes 182 gb.(about this mac/ATA)
I have upgraded to tiger thinking that an upgrade would help but that did nothing for the recognition issue.
Is there anything I can do about this?
It's not really a problem. just bugs me a little.

actually it says 186.31 capacity in the "more inf/ATA" heading.
I didnt split it up if thats what you mean by partitioning it. I just selected the basic single partition or all one drive option then let the Apple disk utility do the rest.
I have tried permission and disk repair but that didn't do anything for me. I was going to attempt another erase and reinstall but I havent had the time to get everything backed up on my external drive.

Only shows first page after interactive sort.

We've developed a number of reports on Reporting Services 2005. These are going to be displayed to the users via a browser embedded in an application using the standard ReportServer URLs, with the toolbar and parameters hidden. Parameters are passed via
the URL.
As there is no toolbar, for multi-page reports pages are displayed below each other, with a gap and the header row (column names) repeated. This is how we want it to be. The problem comes if you add an interactive sort to a column. It displays fine initially
with the pages below one another as before, but when you click the interactive sort only the first page is displayed and there is no way to access the subsequent pages as the toolbar is hidden and they're not displayed below as we want them to be. Is there
any way around this?

Hi Andy_Cap,
Thanks for your question.
According to your description, it seems like for different pages of one specified report, you using one WebBrowser control in your application,
the WebBrowser’s URL is one report’s standard URL in ReportServer, you had hidden the toolbar and parameters of the report, so you passed the parameters via URL. Although you had added interactive sort to the report, when clicked on the column,
just the first page changed, the other pages have no effect, right? If I misunderstand your question, please let me know.
Based on previous understanding, I had tried to reproduce the scenario on my local computer, it works fine. My approach is
setting the report’s InteractiveSize is 0, thus all of the data will being displayed in one webpage and the Interactive sort has effect.
1. Double-click the report in the Solution Explore, select Report in the Properties window.
2. Locate to the property of InteractiveSize, expand it, set the Width’s value is 0cm.
Hope it help you. If there is anything unclear, please feel free let me know.
Thanks,
Sharp Wang

Disk utility only showing 31gb of 80gb after format

I just swapped a western digital 80gb hard drive from a windows computer into a powermac G3 and i fired up disk utility to format it for a mac, everything formatted fine but it is only showing 31.5gb out of the entire 80. Any idea what to do here? I know i am posting in the g5 forum but i figured i would get a quicker response here and a quick response is what i need. Thanks in advance

Instead of using the Erase tab in Disk Utility, go to the Partition tab. Select +1 Partition+ for +Volume Scheme+. If there is one on the screen, click on the Options button and make sure +Apple Partition Map+ is selected as the +partition scheme+. Apply those changes and see if you get the rest of the space to be recognized.

The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video. When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Airplay mirroring is taking very long to load and is only showing one static view then it crashes

airplay mirroring is taking very long to load and is only showing one static view then it crashes.
I am tring to mirror ipad2. I just upgraded to IOS5. Is it an apple TV problem or an Ipad2 problem?
What should I try to fix the problem?

I think i found the solution. I got mine working.
Reboot the iPad by holding down the Home button and power button at the same time for 6 seconds. The screen will turn black, apple logo will appear, and it will restart.
Then restart the Apple TV. (I just unplugged the power)
Then restart your wireless router. (again, I just pulled the plug on it)
After doing that, i tried the mirroring again, and it worked great. As soon as I turned it on, it appeared on my TV and is working very quickly. (well, everything I do on the iPad is delayed on the TV by half a second)
