Finder copies wrong data to DVD after 10.4.7 update.

I need to back up data from a Panasonic P2 Store external USB hard drive partitioned into 15 separate drives. The partitioning is a function of the drive that cannot be changed. OSX sees the partitions as No Name 1, 2, 3 etc.
When I copy the contents of a partition over to a blank DVD-R, finder copies the contents of No Name 1, regardless of which partition I dragged over. This behavior started with the update to 10.4.7, I have over a hundred DVD's burned in this way under 10.4.6 without a problem.
I have posted screen capture video of the problem to youtube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PThAKQcfhOI
Is there a way to revert to 10.4.6 or can the problem in 10.4.7 be addressed? I can use Toast as a work around and thankfully, the bug does not effect copying the cards to another drive, only through the Finder Burn DVD window.
Thanks,

Hard disks can fail at anytime. And 3 GB is really not enough. Mac OS X needs space to build its swap file. And the more widgets you add, and third party software addons you add, the more space it needs for memory. The Finder crashing is usually an indication that the cache or preference files are getting corrupt, or not visible to the system due to directory issues, or hardware related causes such as a failing hard drive, or even more finicky issues with SCSI drivers. Let me say this much, I've seen SCSI fail really badly in the past, and worst it isn't all that hot swappable as Firewire is. If the terminator is failing or it is not properly terminated SCSI can be a real pain. I've also seen external hard drives which are searchable with Spotlight cause the Finder to freeze or crash and have kernel panics. Add the non-boot drives to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to see if that makes a difference. While it won't be searchable with Find File or Spotlight, you could always use an application like Devon Technologies Easy Find (freeware) instead replace it, if that is important to you.

  • HTC One mobile data exceeded limit after 4.4.2 update

    After I did the update to go from jellybean to kitkat there is now an icon that stays at the top of my phone that is a triangle with a exclamation point in it and when I click on it is says "mobile data limit exceeded". It goes away for a couple days after the billing cycle recycles but then it comes back. I have never gone over the limit either. Is there a way to get rid of this pesky icon??!!

    It isn't the same alert as the data usage alert others are referring to.  I'm having the same issue right now, and I moved that alert to a level below my current usage and that alert came up in addition to this alert, and with a different icon.  I increased the alert level again and that notification went away but this one stayed.  Currently on hold for support for about 45 min..

  • Importing old pictures with wrong date stamp. After adjusting date they are landing in the correct folder of referenced masters.

    I was thrilled to learn that with Aperture I could have one big library and using referenced masters, I can organize the pictures by date so I know where everything is and can backup to the cloud.  I started importing really old photos that were taken with god knows what camera and the date is wrong.  Since I had all these in date structured folders I could make a best guess on the date - not needing it to be exact, just so it shows up close enough in projects and the original lands in the right folder for future use & backup. I have come to learn that changing the metadata is only referring to how Aperture sees it.  In other words, images that were taken on 10/31/04 are still landing in the referenced masters folder on the date the camera said.  I now understand that the metadata date is not the date Aperture needs fixed.  Is the best way to fix this to delete the images from Aperture, find some tool that will adjust to the approximate real date, then reimport.  If so, can someone recommend a utility that does this? If I can fix this inside of Aperture, even better.  I saw on one of the discussions: "it's all about the Exif and IPTC and not about the file metatata."  Please feel free to learn me on that.  Cheers.

    That answers some of it - the relocate files.  That will allow me to put the files in the right year/month folder.  I imported full folders into Aperture so need to edit the metadata date for multiple pictures at the same time.  I understand when you select multiple pictures and then ajust time, it adjusts in relation to the first picture.  In my case these things were taken by all sorts of crappy cameras & re-edited years later (2003 data).  So pictures taken on the same day have 2001, 2003 & 2007 dates. I really do just wnt to set all of them to the same (ballpark) date. 
    So my goals are:
    1) have the pictures land in the right referenced folder - answered
    2) do a mass adjust time to the same date for a folder of images
    3) have the projects then land chronologically inside Aperture - not sure about this one yet
    Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

  • Some photo's have wrong date on iPhone after importing them. Messes up 'moments' in photo's

    When importing photo's from my Mac using iTunes, some of them display the incorrect date in the Moments catagory on my iPhone 5S (7.0.3). For example some photo's say 8th June 2001, when they should say 8th June 2012.
    In iPhoto on my Mac these photo's orignally had the incorrect date on them, but I changed them all using Photos > Adjust Time And Date and are all fine in iPhoto.
    But when I try and sync them again in iTunes, they are still displaying the incorrect date in Photos on my 5S.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Had the same Issue and went digging a bit deeper.
    It seems that the Collection Feature doesnt grab the EXIF date correctly all the time or relies on the date created of the file directly for some reasons (not sure though).
    What you can do to get this fixed:
    1. select all your photos in iPhoto
    2. Menu: Photos -> Adjust Date and Time
        Select Modify Original Files
    3. Go up for 1 Second on ALL photos
    4. Sync again
    5. Go down for 1 SEcond on ALL photos
    6. Sync again
    In my case it was indeed necessary to sync in between changing the time for 1 second. might work without for you.

  • IMac won't read the System Install DVD after trying a Software Update (Whic

    Last weekend I tried downloading the 10.4.7 update to my iMac. Towards the end of the download the iMac crashed out and said that the Software Update was unsuccessful. As this was the case I tried rerunning the 'Software Update' again but after a few seconds of the application running and the little window being on the screen, it just dropped out and exited. As this was therefore not working I tried to download the Software Update as a Stand Alone application. I found after downloading the file that mounting a disk image on my iMac no longer works. My next step was to try and reinstall OS X from the System Install DVD. I put the DVD in the DVD Drive and found that after it whirred for about 20 seconds, the disk ejected. I thought this was odd so I tried to boot the iMac , holding down the 'C' key once the DVD was in place inside the iMac. The Mac powered up and then the DVD whirred for a while and once again it ejected the DVD. I now have no way of reinstalling OS X..and am at a loss. I called up the supplier of the iMac as I only purchased it in May 2006. They advised me that the warranty only covers Hardware and not Software. They said with a problem like this it could be expensive to try and work out what is causing it as it is sort of an unknown. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem, is there some way I can see what the iMac is doing when it is trying to read the DVD and the ejects it, and is there some way of 'resetting' the iMac so that it is in the initial state. I know the BIOS on these machines is a 'soft' BIOS so as the supplier said, it is quite possible that the Software Update has corrupted the soft BIOS on the machine. Any ideas?

    Yes. It is possible that the DVD could be bad.
    It is also possible that your corrupted installation is preventing the DVD from working right.
    It would seem strange, except that this happened with another guy as well. But, once we disconnected his internal hard drive with the corrupted OS 10.4.7 install, the machine booted from the DVD and worked properly. We then connected a different hard drive to install to, and it worked fine. Then, we connected the drive as a secondary and formatted it and it resumed working.
    But, with an iMac CoreDuo, you cannot open the machine to unplug the drive. So, you'll be a bit stuck if you require the same solution. He had a PowerMac G5.
    But, basically, his corrupted OS 10.4.7 installation was preventing booting from a CD, booting into safe mode, booting from an external drive, or any other kind of booting.
    So, for him, the only option was disconnecting the internal drive and installing on another one.
    I hope this doesn't turn out to be necessary on your system as well. If so, you'll need to take it into the shop for servicing.
    The only other option I could think of is to try and boot it into Target Disk mode, and format it's drive with another computer. Perhaps that would work.
    Once your internal drive has been cleared (formatted), then it may boot from the DVD again (assuming your problem is the same as the other guys).
    You can read about Target Disk Mode here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    You can read about the steps we took to troubleshoot and repair the other guys machine here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2629919#2629919
    Perhaps that will help explain what I described above.
    I hope this helps.

  • "Could not activate cellular data network" message after ISO 4.1 update

    I updated my iPhone yesterday just like millions of other people, but since the update was completed, I haven't been able to use the data network. Wi-Fi works without any problems, but when I've been out of the house yesterday and today, I haven't been able to establish any connection to the data network and have received the "Could not activate cellular data network" message each time. Is anyone else having this issue too? So much for a flawless update.

    Hi,
    This happens to me everytime I do a f/w update but for me its for a simple reason and is easy to fix.
    I am using a non iPhone Contract SIM in my iPhone and as such is does not like the default iPhone contract APNs for cellular data, hence the message. These reset when you do a f/w upgrade.
    I have to go into Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network and set the APNs (for data and MMS) to ones given to me by my provider, in this case O2 UK for a non iPhone SIM/Contract - all is then well.
    Perhaps you are in a similar situation ?? It shuold be easy to resolve by checking the APNs for your SIM against the ones in the iPhone itself. I found mine by Googling for iPhone O2 APNs. In fact in the end O2 published the setup on their website.
    Hope this helps.

  • Aperture 3: GPS data gets lost after 'Update from Master'

    My library contains photos in JPEG format that I geotag in Places, then I save the metadata with 'Write IPTC Metadata to Master'. The problem I have is, that the GPS data gets lost after I do an 'Update from Master', even if I saved the metadata before. I'm having this problem with referenced and managed photos and all my JPEGs from several different cameras. The only way to permanently store the GPS info into my photos seems to be to export the geotagged photos as versions.
    Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Use Houdah geo (http://www.houdah.com) to write location data back to the EXIF. It's interface is very similar to Places (Google maps and pins) and you can interface with the Aperture library. It's a bit of a pain, but if you need it done now rather than wait for an Aperture 3 fix, then...

  • Is it possible to find the creation date of a CD/DVD burned on Mac OS 8.6 either on newer mac or Windows machine?

    I am cataloguing lot of my old music and data cds/dvds. Some of these were created on my old Mac (OS 8.6). I was wondering if there was a way to check the metadata on these discs on my current Windows machine or on a Mac that I have at work to get this information. When I pop the CD and DVDs into the windows machine the dates that show up in the explorer window are actually older than the burn. I assume this is the CD creation date and not the burn date. It's not a huge deal, but it would help me delve deeper into nerd-dom!

    One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

  • Calendar List view shows entries under the wrong date

    I just upgraded to iOS4 and finding that my calendar entries are appearing under the wrong date in the calendar list view when I am viewing two calendars.
    - List view is ok when viewing 1 calendar
    - Day and Month views are ok at all times (ie: viewing single or multiple calendars)
    - I have 2 Exchange accounts
    - Calendar entries are appearing in the correct order, but under the incorrect date heading.
    - When I intially added the Exchange accounts the calendar list view was fine at first (I could see both calendars correctly in list view) but after a short time later it became screwed up.
    Anyone else experience this?

    Same problem here since my upgrade to iOS4 - but I only noticed today.
    I have 3 calendars set up:
    Gmail (Exchange)
    UK Holidays (iCal)
    Birthdays
    The exchange calendar is always wrong but the other two are correct when my exchange calendar is switched off.
    It has mucked up my scheduling a bit for the next month. I only became suspicious when I noticed the Scottish Bank Holiday Monday at the beginning of August was showing on FRIDAY, 30th of July!
