Cure for crash after creating a RAID group on external drives?

I tried creating a RAID 1 mirror group on a pair of Western Digital Studio LX Firewire-attached 2 TB external drives (new), and Lion crashed with the RAID code on the stack (according to the crash report). The system always crashes the same way if I connect even one of the drives, at boot time or later. The RAID group was of the whole drives, not a pair of partitions. I was using a Mac Mini, but I expect my MacBook, also running Lion, will crash the same way, if I try to attach the drives to repartion them. I suppose I can attach the drives via USB to a Linux box to clobber the partition tables.
Is there a way to set up RAID 1 on Lion which does not lead to an immediate crash?
I have been a happy Mac user, but shipping with RAID 1 being so badly broken is really careless. I expect a lot better.

I set up a mirror raid on two external USB drives, and set to 256k under osx 10.7.5 then got the full melt down
and the same every time i tried to reformat the drives.
I did notice a slight moment of time when opening disk utility before the crash!
The following worked for me.
Start the computer, insert just one of the USB or Firewire drives then open disk utility.
Here is the key point as fast as you can select the drive icon as soon as it appears on the left and hit the erase option
don't worry about the type of format select the t hit the erase button as quickly as you can and again as the prompt comes up are you sure you want to erase the disk.
Then repeat again on the second drive and then start the raid set up over again with blocks set at 128k.
Probably advised to unmount all other drives so you do not accidentally format the wrong drive given this is all about haste.
Really hope this helps and think it through as to how it relates to your set up.

IMovie is crashing after creating the large movie for YouTube.

Hey Guys!
So, I have been uploading to YouTube from iMovie for several years now and today I uploaded again as I usually do. The problem was that about 30 seconds before the end of my video it went black on YouTube! I deleted it off YouTube and reuploaded but it happened again! So, thinking that it was something on YouTube's end I deleted it but the next time I tried to upload, iMovie gave me this error message: "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )"
Now when I try to upload, iMovie crashes after creating the large movie to upload to YouTube!
I have restarted my computer, deleted items to create extra space on my disk, and ejected my iPhone so nothing else happens while I'm trying to create the large movie.
Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and how to fix it?
Thank you!

I'm having a similar problem with Imovie 11. I wonder if the problem is in the new Mountain Lion update. Fortunatly, I cloned the drive befor installing the update. I've cloned this drive back to the original startup drive and gotten back to IMovie.

Encore CS4 crashes after creating new document

Encore crashes after creating a new document. I have tried different accounts with and without administrative privileges still the same result. Everytime a document is created or opened it results in Encore crashing. Encore will run fine if nothing is opened or created. The machine is running Windows XP with a P4 3.0 GHz processor with 4GB of RAM.

What is the graphics card on your machine? Please try updating the latest display drivers and see if this helps.
Also which XP OS version you are running? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? Please note that XP64 is not a supported OS for CS4

Will OSX software Raid-0 on external drive be regonized elseware?

Are RAID setups created in Disk util recognized in other computers. Say i have 2 external drives (over eSata on my 08 mac pro) in a raid 0 from disk util, can I plug these two drives into another mac pro and have them work?
Basically, are software raid setups from disk utilily readible from all macs?

Both systems would have to have their own controllers or ports, but yes, they should move and work just the same on both.
There are Port Multiplier cases and controllers, and there are the 2 ODD ports people use, or direct connect SATA external controllers.
You can even create a RAID internal or external and move it and it will work, or change the drive bay and order of your drives, the RAID will still work and be intact.
What often doesn't work are eSATA/FW or eSATA/USB cases.

Reinstalling DPM 2012 SP1

We eventually got this resolved through Microsoft support.
The issue for us was entering the AD domain as the FQDN on install. Apparently DPM doesn't work if it is authenticating with FQDN\username.
The fix is to change the following registry setting:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup\SchedulerJobOwnerName
To domain\username rather than domain.local\user (or [email protected], which also doesn't work). Alternatively, when you install DPM just put the netbios AD domain name rather than the FQDN.

Lite database seems to crash after creating a database adapter

Hello,
I'm using the SOA suite 10.1.3.3.0 and Oracle Lite database that comes with it.
I'm designing in JDeveloper with the same version number.
After creating a database adapter, the database gives back the exception:
"Internal Error: Invalid Connect String".
A restart fixes it, but i don't feel like restarting each time obviously.
Pls help.

Hello,
Is this a Bug ? Has anyone else faced this error?
It's not a bug, it's working as intended. Contained users don't have instance level permissions and cannot "login" to the instance (which is what the "browse" button is attempting). In order for it to work, the database name must be in the connection string
(which with the browse button, it will not be).
Welcome to contained users, they aren't for everyone.

I would like to try to create database using EE8MSWIN1250 but I am not sure what scripts I have to run after create database on windows XP professional OS.
Is there any list ?
What else I have to check or run after creating database ?

My computer recently crashed. I had everything on an externa drive. I'm trying to reload my music into itunes from my external drive. I do not have an itunes library document for some reason. How do I get my library back onto itunes?

I'm trying to figure out how to access my music library from my external drive. I do not have a media library document and believe that I would have to create one based on the music that is on my external drive. Can someone help?

If you're running Windows 8.1, this seems to be a common theme, or some variation there of at least. Myself, I can't even back-up on my iPhone 4S which has iOS 7.1.2 and I'm running iTunes 11.3.0.54 and have resorted to purchased the iTunes Match service to ensure that music on my primary desktop PC (which is paired to my iPhone) will be available on both the iPhone and my Windows 8.1 laptop. Regarding backing up of the iPhone, I'm thinking about going to a third party solution until either Apple and/or Microsoft can figure out why Windows 8.1 is having so many problems with the current version of iTunes (as of this writing 11.3.0.54).

How do I stop Finder from crashing when I try to view my external drive?

Hello,
I've read through a few similar posts, but the solutions don't seem to fit my problem. I was moving some files around on an external drive that I've been using for a year with no problems. While moving one file to another folder (within the drive, not between my computer and the drive), it froze up. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, I pulled the drive out and restarted the computer.
Now when I plug the drive back in, it shows up as usual, but when I click on it, Finder crashes immediately. I ran disk utility repair, and it says "The volume appears to be ok" in green, but it still crashes finder when I try to open it. Based on the advice of another post, I ran Console, and copied what I thought to be the relevant portion of the transcript, though I don't know what any of it means ("Uzak" is the name of the drive):

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(( $(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256 )); [[ $o -gt 1024 ]] && printf "\nPageouts: %s MiB\n" $o; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$( printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]} ) || o=; PR "Total CPU usage"; [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(ps acrx -o comm=Process,ruid=User,%cpu | sed 's/ */:/g' | head -6 | awk -F: '{ printf "%-10s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $3 }'); PR "CPU usage by process"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-Vagain. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
☞ Don't post the contents of the Terminal window.
☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply.

Trying to create HD disk image on external drive

I'm trying to use the disc utility to create a disk image of my HD, saved to an external drive (500 GB, My Book) via FireWire. After choosing the appropriate origin and destination info on the drop-down menus, and clicking Save, I get a dialogue box that for an instant shows the operation in progress, then reverts to: Unable to save DMG, resources busy. I might not have the exact words, but it's very close.
What am I doing wrong? What resource is "busy", the HD or the external? The dialogue box doesn't indicate that info. I'm not aware of any obvious conflicts. No other applications are running.

Were you trying to copy the Mac OS volume?
I think the OS itself is a big program that is running. So somehow the source is changing every minuets. You may try SuperDuper! or Carbon copy cloner to do what you want, both of which are free, at least some of the main functions are. They should have no problem when dealing with the OS that is currently running.

Understanding underscore "_" in group permissions & external drives

Some time ago I followed these instructions to get my Mac working properly after a migration from an older version of Mac OS... I'm moving along on "same" Mac...and things have been basically OK...except now I am seeing some weird behavior.
I have an external hard disk that I would like permissions to enforced on. Getting Info on the drive itself in the Finder shows me basically:
Name
Privilege
bob (Me)
Read & Write
_bob
Read & Write
everyone
Read only
Ignore ownership is NOT checked
But, when I log into the GUEST account on this machine the guest can read and write to the external drive!?! Getting Info on the external drive from the Guest's account shows:
Name
Privilege
Guest (Me)
Read & Write
_guest
Read & Write
everyone
Read only
Ignore ownership is NOT checked   <- and this is now grayed out and un-selectable
So, I guess my question is...how do I prevent anyone else from making changes to this external drive? And what is this underscore group name (_bob & _guest) all about? Is it normal?

OK, I tried what you recommended on a subfolder on this external drive. I removed the "group" permission that was "_bob"...and propagated it through enclosed subfolders. Leaving me with ONLY:
Name
Privilege
bob (Me)
Read & Write
everyone
Read only
Before:
$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 13 bob _bob   442 Oct 15 2004 TestFolder
After:
$ ls -l
drwx---r-x 13 bob wheel 442 Oct 15 2004 TestFolder
     bold added by me for emphasis
So it would seem that by removing the group...I've effectively assigned the folder the default group of "wheel" which I as I recall is all users who can 'su' to root!?! So, what happens when another admin user (member of 'wheel') tries to access this folder...will they be denied or will they fall back to "everyone's" privileges?!? Something tells me I should chmod 755 this folder now to make it drwxr-xr-x so members of wheel also have r+x privileges!?! hmm…

How to stop Time Machine from creating entirely new backup of external drive?

I've included an external drive to be backed up into Time Machine. For a few days, the drive was disconnected, however, so only Macintosh HD was getting backed up. I recently re-added the external drive. However, now it appears that since the external wasn't included in the most recent backups, it's decided to re-backup the entire drive.
Is there any way to prevent it from backing up the entire external drive and instead just backup the changes made, or is that not possible because there is a gap in the backups made for the external?

First, the amount that TM says it's going to back up is not necessarily the amount it will back up. You'll only know that when the backup finishes.
I haven't tried this myself, but it may be that after you exclude a volume, TM loses continuity with the previous snapshot. In that case, future backups should be incremental, as long as you don't exclude the volume again.

Using Disk Utility to create a partition on an external drive

Hi Everyone
I have a 250gb external HD drive which is currently split into two partitions of Fat32. I'd like to use this drive for storing images of OS X, but when I tried to create an image using the OS X startup DVD, I was told that FAT32 didn't allow large enough file sizes (or something along those lines) in order for me to backup my OS X.
Disk Utility appears to offer the ability to split partitions on the external drive, i.e. I can select the largest of the two partitions and choose to split it into two 96gb partitions. However, will this be a destructive partition process, and can I reasonably expect my external hard disk to be reformatted with a 96gb Mac OS X formatted partition whilst still keeping two FAT32 partitions and all the data that resides on them?
Any help is much appreciated!

You will not be splitting existing partitions. Instead, you will be creating a new partitions from scratch.
Run Disk Utility. Select the hard drive to be partitioned. Make sure you select the hard drive in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the drive. Go to the Partition tab. If you want one or more of the partitions to be MS-DOS, you must first click on the Options... button. Select the Master Boot Record option and OK. Select Volume Scheme of 3 Partitions. Now set up your three new partitions as you want them, in terms of size and format. For the Mac partition, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.

Creating a new folder on external drive

I am struggling trying to figure out how create new event folders in imovie 11 on my external drive where all my events are stored. No matter what I click the new folder icon is greyed out. Am I doing something wrong?

The New Folder command is used for creating new folders in your Project Library.
When you import video into iMovie, the dialogue box that comes up gives you the opportunity to create a new event and select which drive you wish to save it to.
You can also select and drag clips from one event to another event.
You cannot, however, create folders in the Event Library.
The View menu provides some options on viewing events in the Event Library.

My computer crashed, i have my library on an external drive, so how do i get it back into itunes?

Okay so my dad keeps refusing to get a new computer, or a separate laptop for me. Iritatingly, it continues to crash so severely that the hardrive has been wiped clean and restored at least 4 times. Ridiculous. Luckily, I was able to save my library from 9/4/11 on an external drive, but i have no idea how to get it back onto itunes now. Seriously, its a problem because my actual ipod was stolen, ergo i cannot load it from that. What do i do.

This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.
