Error -10810 after trying to relaunch finder. External drive may be problem.

I bought a 3TB Seagate external drive a couple months ago and ever since then after a day or so of use, any application on the drive would stop working and the drive would become unresponsive. Ejecting it safely is impossible and if I try to open the drive in Finder, Finder becomes unresponsive and relaunching it gives the message "Finder cannot be opened -10180".
Pulling the USB cord that connects the external drive gets Finder back up, but it of course damages my hard drive. I've been dealing with this for months by holding the power button every time this happens and forcing the mac to shut down. When I start it up again everything works fine for the time being but I'm at my wits end with this problem now.

Don't know what else to suggest. The problem is with your external drive, either the file structure or the drive itself. How are you formatting exFAT? If using your Mac, try formatting using a PC.

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
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.

Error 1603 after trying to update to ios 5 now phone is bricked stuck in recovery mode

Try this - download a program called rec boot. follow the instructions to kick it out of recovery mode. and does itunes recognise
or hold the power and home button together until you see a "connect to itunes" pic on the screen
hope it helps

Can't find previous itunes file after moving info to an external drive to move library to new computer!!! HELP

I have moved my itunes files numerous times to new computers as I get one. This last time I had everything running off an external drive, to conserve hard drive space on computer and hopefully from computer failure. I need to move library over to new computer and get away from old computer that has Windows XP to the computer with windows 7. After installing itunes on new computer and plugging in external to new computer, it finds all music and movies, etc., however, I can't seem to find the file that has the playlist info, play count, and to see where the backups of my iphone(s) are. I have been working at this for days to no avail. It may be right in front of my face but can't see where to find it. HELP!!!!

Hi mechellr!
Here is an article for you that explains in depth how to move your iTunes library from one computer to another:

IPad Air 32GB Wifi model, won't turn on, recover, restore, with error 4005 after trying to use facetime, switched off. :( HELP!

bought my mom a new iPad Air 32GB WiFi model via eBay and got it yesterday. It worked all fine and I even updated it to the latest iOS version. It worked all fine for the next few hours until I tried to have a facetime call using my iPad Air. Somehow within few seconds after the call being initialized, my moms iPad got switched off. I tried almost all the solutions I found via Apple community, google and other sites. None of them worked. ( Restore, Recovery, DFU Mode, Pressing Home and ON/OFF switch etc ) Somehow I managed to connect the iPad to itunes and when i press the restore button, I get error 4005 after 5 - 10 mins appearing 'waiting for iPad' message. I am in Sri Lanka and I have no Apple Stores here, or authorized service providers. since this isn't a fault of the ebay seller, cannot return it too. Please help me!

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me on this issue. I really appreciate it.
I went through those steps more than few time since yesterday ( saw you had posted this solution on a similar issue by another user )
still no luck. Now I cannot exit from DFU mode, or either restore it due to 4005 error. ( since its a new iPad, i only had few apps installed. so not going to loose much data as well ). I also try to exit DFU mode by using few third party apps such as Wondershare Dr.Fone, Phone Rescue, ReiBoot, RecBoot. Only wondershare Dr.Fone app showed me a screen with a message saying the iOS device is 'not in normale mode, press home + off/on button to switch to normal mode, which never worked either.
Really appreciate your help but I am open for more solutions other than Restore, Recovery Mode, DFU mode or any method to overcome error 4005. I would also like to know are there any softwares to diagnose the iPad Air to detect whats wrong with it. so that I can be sure if it is a hardware failure or firmware issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nimasha

I got internal error 2738 after trying to install the marvell yucon ethernet adapter driver

I got the marvell yucon ethernet adapter driver on the acer support page. My laptop is an extensa 5420-5038 with vista sp2 32 bit. My wired lan is not working but the wireless is. The version of the acer driver is 10.12.8.3 if that would help. I think uninstalling the old software for the adapter must have failed during installation and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to find any old applications or machine language software for the adapter in the computer to uninstall before trying again if that is what I have to do. Do I have to go to the command prompt and do something?

Help! Error 2001 after trying to recover the iPhone

Hi everyone!
Please help me if you know the solution to the problem. I cannot turn on the iPhone at all until it is being plugged into my MacBook. Then, iTunes will enter into Recovery Mode but appears to have error 2001. Previously, there was error 1611 appearing as well, but that was only once and became error 2001.
My iTunes is the latest 10.1 (54). I appreciate any ideas!

Per http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 :
Error 2000-2009: (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Try that if that doesn't work, try DFU mode.
