Any way to get around Error 1309 without erasing drive data?

From what I understand this is an error that happens when you try to transfer files to a drive that is not formattted a certain way.
I am trying to transfer a project to this external LaCIe - media files also - and am getting the error. unfortunately I have nowhere else to transfer the data on the Lacie to back it and formatting would erase everything on it. I also don't know how to tell how it is formatted now.
This project needs to be moved because the Mac needs to go in for service. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hmm. You know what? Looks like my other external Lacie (Drive#1) is formated Mac OSX extended. It's a smaller drive, 160 gig and pretty full, but maybe i could transfer that data over to the to Lacie 2, at least enough to free up project space.
This project has gone on and on, but there was an issue with the computer needing service and I'm concerned that waiting will put undue stress on it. I've been waiting for about two months, but it could be a few weeks more and I just want to get it looked at.
\If I move the data to a drive that is DOS formattted, does it only affect the size of files I can drag to it? Or will there be an issue with MAC files? It seems to have been working fine so far, no problems.

Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If created the account (e.g. you're not in the process of creating it and are stuck on the payment screen) and you are being prompted to review it then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you reviewit without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to burn DVD?

Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to export FCE to DVD?
I've been trying to burn a FCE2 sequence to DVD. A friend of mine told me all I had to do was put a blank DVD in, click on the icon on the desk top, export the sequence to Quicktime and drag the QT sequennce into the DVD icon and click burn.
Well something happened! But there's nothing on the DVD!! What am I doing wrong? I loathe iDVD. i don't want to author. I just want to burn the project on a DVD. Please advise. Thanks.

If you export a sequence at full resolution to can burn it onto a DVD as a data DVD, but this is for transportation purposes only. At full resolution the DVD, especially as it fills up, will not have sufficient throughput to sustain good playback of the material. That's why the material is encoded into MPEG-2 for DVD authoring. If you want to make a DVD for set-top playback it has to be authored to include the DVD format structure. There is no way around that. If you don't like iDVD, take a look at Final Cut Studio, you might prefer DVD Studio Pro. Or you might what to look at Roxio's Toast. It has basic authoring capabilities. Personally I don't think direct playback hardware solutions (except for seriously expensive ones) produce acceptable quality, but that's just me.

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Is there any way to get around startup login?

I recently resurrected a crashed G4 hard drive by connecting it to another computer in target mode, and fixing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
However, when I then restarted the G4, I was asked for a username and password, even though I've never had a password-protected log-in on this machine before.
I've tried evey previous username / password combo I can think of, but none of them work, so now I'm stuck with a machine that boots up, but won't allow me to log in. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

If you just access that disk as a data Disk or using Firwire Target disk Mode (instead of starting up from it) no password should be needed.
The usual way to get around a password is to reset that password. The tool to do that is on the Installer DVD.
Start up from the DVD, but do not install.
Answer only the "what language" question, if presented.
Wait a quarter minute for the menuBar to be drawn.
Choose reset password off one of the Menus.
Reset the password.
Notes: this destroys the old password and replaces it with the new one, so it is not the slightest bit "sneaky".
The DVD is required, otherwise any 10-year old could do it.

My computer somehow restarted then deleted all my progress from Word documents. Is there any way to get these documents back without purchase of a data recovery software?

Recently when I open my Mac the screen stays black until I press the start button a few times. Usually at this point it's in sleep mode. This time, however, the computer restarted completely, losing any word documents that I had left open prior. Is there any way I can recover these files without a purchase of a data recovery software? I've tried looking in the 'recent' tab, but it didn't save anything I have done in the last week, and finals are this coming week. Please help!

If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

Is there any way to get around using iTunes.7 with a Nano (secnd gen)?

I, like many others received a pretty new Nano from Santa, but was disappointed to find that.. it doesn't seem to be usable!
I have a iMac (os x 10.2.8) and a iBook G4 (os x 10.3.7)
BUT as I'm sure you're aware, I can't update the iTunes on either to version 7 because it's only compatible with 10.3.9 or higher..
As I am only a poor design student, there is no way I can afford a new os, so my question is really, what the subject said, is there any way I can get around using iTunes to put music on my iPod? or am I pretty much screwed?
Any suggestions would be really aprechiated! I just want to be able to use it!
Thanks

Any way to get better error info than connection doc detail?

I just switched my website to a new host. I set up all the same emails that I had set up on my old host, which had all worked just fine - it's 20 email accounts on one domain, all with different passwords.
Mail is choking for some reason, and we can't figure out why. It is able to check the mail successfully if I check it individually by control-clicking on the account, and it can check the mail for a couple of the accounts at a time, but it isn't able to check all the accounts successfully anymore. The tech support people thought it might be DNS related, so we've fixed all that but it's not helping.
They couldn't help me any further because the information from Connection Doctor detail didn't clarify what was wrong. There was no error beyond the error of not being able to connect.
SO.... using terminal or something more complicated, is there a way to find any information about exactly what the problem is that Mail is having?
I'm on Snow leopard.

Please clarify -- you get the error in Connection Doctor on the Incoming server, but despite that you can actually download some messages? Is there also an error regarding the SMTP?
Mail is picky about the form of Username, and you must know whether the server requires the form of Username as portion of the email address in front of the @, or the entire email address enter as Username.
More info, please, including whether the accounts are set up as IMAP or POP?

Any way to get Network Extender support without a phone?

I am trying to get a Network Extender working. It has been added to my account, I have forwarded the appropriate ports on my router for it to work. I see some of the packets sent out by the extender aren't being answered on the remote side.
I have no way of calling Verizon while I'm at home. I don't have a landline, and my Verizon phone drops calls. Is there a way to contact support some other way to get my Network Extender working?

mzr23,
Good afternoon! I'm sorry to hear the Extender is causing some trouble. I am happy to help, and since this is account specific it is best to send me a direct message for more assistance. You can also use our 'Contact Us' link at the top of the page for options to e-mail and chat with us.
Thank you,

Is there any way to get around the arbitrary ban on repeating a password within a year?

I just want to figure out how to change my password to one that was my password less than a year prior. Why is this requirement in place when Apple has no requirement that passwords be changed annually? It seems that any added security benefit would be negligible and the mandate is excessive and unwarranted. Is there any way to avoid this requirement?

Any way to get around laser flashing black when moving?

I am authoring a project that has a flash animation that I converted to an mpeg2 that starts playing right after you put the dvd in. After the 3 second animation that also includes audio it goes to my main menu. I have the end jump on the animation set to go to the menu. Everything works right , as it should, except for the fact that when it goes from the animation to the menu you see a quick flash of black. I have been told that this is the laser moving over to another asset. It would not be that big of a deal except that the animation dissolves to white and the menu that comes right after it is white, so the black frame really jumps out at you. Is there a work around for this? Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.

This flash is indeed caused as the laser moves to the next element in the project, but different players will show different degrees of severity... some may not show it at all.
The way round it is to set the Flash animation into a longer sequence using FCP or some other editor, such that when the menu graphic appears it holds for at least 30 seconds (or longer).
You would also create an overlay file for the button highlihgt information.
Set the animation and menu background into a menu and look in the property inspector for the loop point control. Move it to the point where the still menu begins and add the overlay file. From then on you treat it like a static menu and drag out the button rectangles and set the button targets.
This then is a basic motion menu, and there is more information about using these in the DVDSP manual.

Cannot send E-mails in MAIL (any way to get around port 25?)

Hey,
I'm trying to use "Mail" 1.3.11. I have a domain (95ent.com) with a mail system. I can recieve and read the mail just fine, but can't send outward E-Mails.
I know this is because I have BellSouth, and they have the Port25 ban. What I'm worndering if there is some work-around, to the effect that my outgoing e-mails would be addressed from MY e-mail (i.e; [email protected]). I tried port 587, and it just says that it's timed out. I tried just adding "mail.bellsouth.com" as my outgoing SMTP server - but that doesn't seem to work either.
All I'm looking to do is find a way I can use a program (like Mail), prefferably Mail, to send out E-mails that are addressed as "from; [email protected]" and have the same reply-to address.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank You!

As long as "mail.bellsouth.com" is the correct SMTP server address for BellSouth and other settings for the SMTP server are correct, then yes.
Most or many SMTP servers include SMTP in the SMTP server address.
The only exception to this is if BellSouth uses POP before SMTP authentication and if so, this will require accessing your BellSouth email account with the Mail.app and checking the account for new mail with the Mail.app once per online session before being able to use BellSouth's SMTP server to send mail with your BellSouth or with an email account not provided by BellSouth.
You need to check with BellSouth regarding their requirements for using an SMTP server that is outside of their network (or not provided by BellSouth) on Port 25 and they can also answer the question if they use or require POP before SMTP authentication or if they have a restriction on using their SMTP server with an email account not provided by BellSouth.

Is there any way to get my files back without using Time machine?

I used CCleaner without knowing it. It erased my download folder totally. I don't have any time machine.
any suggesion?

Sonny operating any computer without a backup plan is just not wise and you are now probably going to pay a minor price. What would happen if you lost all of your photographs, music and personal records? PLEASE begin a backup plan immediately, there is absolutely no excuse not to. I would recommend first starting out by buying an external HD and using Time Machine and then get a second external HD to create another backup using cloning software such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both less than $30). For less than $200 you can have a viable and safe backup plan. The reason it's wise to have redundant backups is because a backup can fail too, I've had it happen, thank heavens I had 2 backups which saved the day.
