Beautiful new Mobile brick lacie - Error 1309 when copying backup files

Greetings,
I think I am understanding my problem here but I am looking for advice. I have currently two macs, a new iMac and a year old Powerbook. My youngest daughter also has a inexpensive PC laptop.
I bought this new Mobile drive to be able to backp my photos, music, and applications. I have some applications on the PC side I would like to keep and some on the Mac side. However, to be able to use this drive on Windows XP I assumed I had to format the drive MS-Dos. When I dragged all these files to backup I got a -1309 error which after a google search means that it is a file over 4GB limit.
Can a PC see any of the MAC extended formats? If not, can I partition this little mobile drive into two partitions and reformat the larger area MACos extended and a small part FAT32? Would that be the solution?
//Thanks

Can a PC see any of the MAC extended formats?
Install MacDrive onto the PC to access Mac drives on it.

  • Error -1309 when copying a file from internal to external HD

    I am trying to copy a disk image of an iDVD project over to an external hard drive.
    I want to transfer the file to my laptop which burns DVDs at 8x as opposed to the 2x of my iMac 20.
    During repeated attempts, near the very end of the copying process, I get this error:
    “Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code -1309)”
    I can find no reference to this error code number in Apple’s site or from a Google search.
    I have verified and repaired permissions on the disk being copied from (the startup disk) and have verified the disk of the external (Western Digital 120GB).
    I have also verified that the file in question plays correctly in DVD player on the iMac 20.
    I have also tried copying other files to the external (including disk images) and they copy fine, which leads me to believe there is a problem with this particular file.
    I can try re-creating the disk image again in iDVD, but because its almost a 2 hour program, it took most of the day to do that.
    So before I take that step again:
    can anyone please shed some light on what my problem could be, or ways to troubleshoot further? Thank you.

    Can I reformat in Disk Utility?
    Yes - keep in mind that reformating will erase anything on the drive.
    From the Disk Utility Help files:
    1. If you want to erase an external disk, connect the disk to your computer.
    2. In Disk Utility, select the disk or volume in the list on the left.
    3. Click Erase.
    4. Choose a format from the Volume Format pop-up menu. Usually you will choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    5. Type a name for the disk or volume.
    6. If you're erasing a disk and plan to use the disk with Mac OS 9, select the checkbox to install the Mac OS 9 drivers.
    7. You do not need to install the Mac OS 9 drivers to use the disk with the Classic environment.
    8. If you want to erase the entire contents of the disk by writing zeros, click Security Options, then select the option you want and click OK.
    9. Click Erase.

  • Error Message when copying music files to Nano

    When copying an album to the Nano, I receive and error message with 4 songs left to copy off of the album. Error states: Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. With 4 songs left to copy
    I have only used approx. 344.8 MB of memory. I tried resetting the Nano and then also deleting album and recopying and the same files back. Nothing seems to work, please help!

    If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
    Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    Any insight on why I keep getting error -1309 when I try to export at higher definitions? First of all, it consumes my computer for 6 hours (for a 20 minute video)! But then I come back and I've been knocked out...have to start all over again!

  • Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

    I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
    "Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
    Let me know how you make out
    Thanks!

  • Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

    Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file,  any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
    Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
    This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
    When can I expect a solution?

    Of course not.
    But thank you anyway, I talked to my admin and we changed the whole company to Foxit.
    It can be that easy.

    Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it.  I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go.  I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it.  My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue.  It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking.  It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above.  I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes.  It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me.  She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

    When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.  Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail.  Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
    Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
    Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

    Rita,
    The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
    1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
    2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
    3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
    Hope this helps.
