Disk image become corrupt after copied to portable hard drive

Every time I copy a .DMG image to my portable Hard Drive it become corrupted; and when I try to open the .DMG I get the error "Image Data Corrupted". I have formated the drive several times, I tried OS X Journaled, Fat32, both with GUID and MBR. I have verified and repaired the hard drive in disk utility but I am still getting this error. I am running 10.8.2.

Burn a Repair CD to boot from:

    When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted.
    I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists.
    It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
    I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
    Any idea what is going on?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • HT1391 cant play my music in itunes after copying to larger hard drive.

    cant play my music in itunes after copying to larger hard drive.

    I'm guessing you moved rather than copying.
    What steps exactly did you take?
    If you moved the iTunes Media folder from <User's Music> iTunes to some random location then that is wrong way to do it. You haven't complained of an empty library so I'm guessing that's what you did.
    What generally works is to move the entire iTunes folder to say X:\iTunes, and then hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get a prompt asking you to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the moved library.
    If you moved just the media folder then move the main iTunes folder, shift the media folder inside, then shift-start-iTunes. It should all come together.

  • Disk utility and reformatting for an external portable hard drive

    I bought a brand-new iomega ego portable hard drive (USB compatible). When attempting to format it, I went to 'disk utility' to erase the drive. The drive appears, with the following information listed: Mount Point : /Volumes/Iomega HDD Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,105,217,024 Bytes)
    Format : Winows NT Filesystem Available : 465.7 GB (500,022,378,496 Bytes)
    Permissions Enabled : Yes Used : 79.0 MB (82,838,016 Bytes)
    Number of Folders : 0 Number of Files : 32
    Obviously, it needs to be reformatted. But when I click the erase tab, it will not allow me to pick the volume format or name (it just has it listed but unselectable).
    Any suggestions on using disk utility or reformatting the drive so I can use it will be useful!

    The drive has been pre-formatted for NTFS. You need to do the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to APM then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Help!  Corrupted Clip Speed after Copying to New Hard Drives

    Okay. Here goes... (sorry so long)
    I bought two new hard drives to replace older aging ones as a precaution (for a Feature Film)
    After transfering capture scratch and sequences-- every speed altered clip (50% was now 1000%) OR the in points and out points are not being recognized and have jumped to new spots in the clip (with the corruption)
    I transfered 1st half of film buy hand-- Corrupted.
    I transfered 2nd half using media manager-- Corrupted.
    Two different hard Drives-- two different ways of trasfering-- same problem!
    (also, no matter what I do to return the clips to their orignal state-- they remain screwy!)
    -The "Constant settings" won't stay Constant and keep fliping to Varible. I stretch it out, speed drops to 10%. I drag the end of clip toward head, speed increases.
    Then the clip goes black!
    -I deleted Render Files.
    -I removed attributes.
    -In Time Remap there were mysterious Keyframes that were the culpruts. I deleted but they fought being deleted.
    I bought a ANOTHER Hard drive thinking the Brand I bought was not compatible with MAC (Mercury) -- Same problem with newest hard drive.
    Phew!
    What is Going on??????!!!!!! Can ANYONE help Me???????

    Keep CALM? If you knew what I've gone through to make this project...! Two YEARS! I've been working on this for two crippling years!!! I'm just about to finish... and tradegy strikes!!!!
    I wasn't calm at the time... I am now. (thanks to Jack Daniels-- and five minutes of beating my head on a wall)
    I tried the new sequence thing. Didn't work.
    Regarding the FCPrescue program you speak of. I downloaded a similar one called FCPattic-- there are no instructions for either program on how they work... I have no idea what it did, but I pushed the backup button, but I don't know what was supposed to happen or where to retrieve any back up info...(?)
    Re: Trashing Preferences:
    There are two files in the preferences folder...
    1. "com.apple.finalcut.plist"
    2. "final cut preferences" (which has a red and black icon)
    I don't know which is the one I should trash?
    Can you give me some insight?
    Thanks for responding, Andynick.

  • Deleted Disk Image but space is not available on hard drive

    I was trying to share the iPhoto library across users by creating a Disk Image via Disk Utility.
    It didn't go a planned as I needed more space than originally allocated. The resizing option in Disk Utility specified the Maximum Size was less than what I needed.
    My next step was to delete this Disk Image, I believe I did this by selecting Edit > Delete
    The Disk Image disappeared however the 80 GB never reappeared on my harddrive as available.  I tried emptying the Trash but that did not correct the problem.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    No the /Volumes folder twtwtw is refering to is at the top level of the root disk.
    To see it open a Finder window and select the Go menu item
    then select Go to Folder…
    Now in the window that opens enter /Volumes
    Then Go
    the /Volumes folder will open. There should be no regular files or folders in there

  • "Original file not found" error after copying from removable hard drive

    ok, I have all my itunes library on a removable hard drive, and I want to copy it all to my new computer. so, I plugged the hard drive in, copied all the files into itunes, and when I played one of them, it worked. then, I tried to play it again, but an error message came up saying "The song 'Re-hash'could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like tyo locate it?" and I clicked 'Yes'. then a browser came up, where i could select either the files itunes music, itunes library, or itunes music library. none of them work. help please?

    This worked although it was very clumsy (we had almost 3,000 files that had to be deleted and redownloaded. I could not figure out a way to sort all of the 'exclamation points' together so it took an hour or so to scan through the entire library list and delete each file individually and/or in small groups.) The download was very straight forward. In my experience (with iTunes match turned on,) we did NOT loose our playcounts.
    Going through all those files I noticed several common themes that may have triggered the problem: 1) multiple artists, 2) special characters in the song title, artist and/or album name - particularly umlauts (we have quite a few german songs in our library.) 3) very long title, artist and/or album names.
    I hope that someone from Apple is aware of these issues and working on them....

  • LR3 can't find files after copying my previous hard drive to a new Lacie Thunderbolt drive

    I transferred my LR3 files from my WD hard drive to my new Lacie Thunderbolt drive and now I can only get the preview and it says the file is missing.  Is there a setting I need to change that I am not aware of?

    You have moved your image files outside of Lr (via your OS) and now Lr has lost the connection to your images. This happens every time you move images outside of Lr. Lr stores in its catalog - among all the other things - also the location of your images, and if the location stored in the catalog is different than the situation onyour hard drive you get the "missing" file message. "Missing" means that Lr does not "know" where your images are.
    You have to point Lr to the location of your image files to fix the broken link.
    In the Grid View (left side) in the folders panel you should see question marks in front of the folder names. That is Lr's indication that the link to the folders is broken.
    Go to the top-most folder in the hierarchy of the folders that show the question mark and right-click it (click with the right-hand button of you rmouse). Select <Find missing folder> in the fly-out menu, navigate to the coresponding folder on your LaCie and click on it. Lr will then also find the sub-folders under that folder on idt own - provided that you have not changed the folder names or the folder structure.
    If you have done that you have to "point" Lr to each folder individually with the procedure described above.
    BTW you will also get the "missing" message when you open Lr but your external drive is not switched on.

  • Images become corrupted after uploading

    Hello i'm trying to make an upload bean that uploads files form client PCs to the server, i'm using jdk 1.4 and tomcat 4.0.
    i made a modification to "Budi Kurniawan" code from "http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/04/05/upload.html"
    and the package is working very well only with text files.
    when i tried to upload images or exe . i found the files corrupted. i compaired the original files with the uploaded one and they was the same in size.
    i think the problem is with the way i process the content type of the file.
    please if u have any ideas to modify this code to enable it to upload images and exe please post ur reply.
    the package name is "michael.web.upload" this package should be able to handle a form with mulitble input types and mulitble files to upload at one time
    the package contain two classes "FileUpload" provides some info about the uploaded file and "MultiPartParser" the parser that do the upload

  • OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

    So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three  times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

    Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
    I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.
    SMART status is verified

  • Portable Hard Drive will not show up in Disk Utility

    I purchased a Toshiba Canvio Slim 500 GB hard drive a few months ago before I updated my computer to Mac OSX Version 10.6.8. I was running out of Hard Drive Space since I bought my computer in 2009 and decided to use a portable hard drive to store some of my personal information. I was able to read and successfully transfer data to the hard drive, but then I updated my computer to 10.6.8 and now I can't access it at all. It won't even show up in Disk Utility. I read on a few forums that some people were having the same problem as I was and they bought a y-cable adapter to power the hard drive through two usb cables. I bought one and tried it out and I'm still not having any luck. I tried using my girlfriend's computer to see if I can access it from her computer and it shows up in disk utility, but I can't access it. The lights turn on and I can hear it working like it worked the first day I used it, but nothing is happening. Please help me fix the problem.

    Evidence, as scant as it is from Disk Utility, suggests the Toshiba external
    HDD is indeed without Partion Map Scheme, has no files on it, unformatted.
    So I wonder if there isn't a wire or defective circuit inside the box (enclosure)
    that may be hiding access to the actual HDD unit inside there. Those kinds
    of enclosures generally use a laptop 2.5" HDD since they can run on USB
    power from the port. Matching up the internal HDD from that case, with an
    other one with correct life support (connections) is a way to test it.
    However if the Toshiba HD is a 3.5" standard drive, a larger enclosure, or
    an adapter that simply plugs into the connections of the bare hard drive,
    would be a way to access that external drive. These 'drive adapters' can
    work with both SATA and IDE hard drives; or just one of the two. They
    run in the range of $40 or so, and essentially are a wire kit with a power
    adapter to spin the drive, but some do not even have the adapter, so as
    to still use USB power for smaller drives of slower disc RPM speed.
    Most competent computer stores with a skilled staff would know of these.
    However some of the smaller HDD enclosures may be hard to open up.
    And if there were a Toshiba warranty, this action could void the same.
    Adapters would be to 'test the idea of recovering any data,' if enclosure
    the drive shipped in has somehow developed a defect. Though it may
    be if there is a defect, it may have existed at a point in time to affect
    the actual save-to-disk process. Or later. A wire could be not allowing
    information to be received, if broken or circuit damages, by the Mac.
    But by the look of the Disk Utility's partition map, along with the other
    earlier image that shows the same info in the bottom of the image of
    the status, in Disk Description, this does not bode well for recovery.
    I'm not sure what else to suggest. When the dust settles, Toshiba may
    have a residual warranty that could only replace that one with another.
    Some older mailorder catalogs show these kinds of adapters, some use
    USB port power, others also include an AC adapter so standard faster
    HDDs can be used without an enclosure. This also helps if one wants
    temporary access to a hard disk drive, but does not want to install it.
    •USB drive cable adapter kit SATA and IDE HDD - google results:

    Companies also make hot-swap docks to allow fast swapping of HDDs
    of either or both 2.5" and 3.5" size, these have their own adapter and
    one simply puts drives inside from the top, like a bread toaster.
    Hopefully you can take the Toshiba along to a computer store and ask
    a somewhat skilled person there about getting the cable adapter kit or
    another enclosure. The cable adapter would cost less & be quicker, yet
    that would still involve opening up the failed HDD's enclosure for access.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Does your printer have a slot for an SD card?  Is there are card in the slot?  If so, the computer is trying to mount that card as an external device.  It might be corrupted so that it can't be read.

  • How to transfer photos from portable hard drive to DVD-R disk

    I have over 7000 photos on my Western Digital portable hard drive "My passport for Mac" and want to transfer them onto a Verbatim DVD-R disk. My reason being I want to reset the hard drive as I errored by partitioning it where as I shouldent have.

    if these photos are stored on iPhoto, try to select all your photos > file menu > export > choose destination disk.
    If they are already in a specific folder, just select it and choose burn to disk.

    Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
    Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?
