Flash drive IO error

Hello I have an issue with one 8GB microSD card and my laptop. This isuue doesn't appear nither with another 4GB microSD nor with my PC. This drive mounts successfully and I can even read/write smal amounts of data (like echo abc>/mnt/test or cat /mnt/test) But whan I'm trying to read/write more data after near 100 MB of exchanging IO stops and I have kernel log like below:

formatting of card doesn't help.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Have you tried the card in different usb ports or a different pc/device?
If you have & gotten the same results I would say the card is dead.

How Do You Test a Flash Drive for Errors Using OS X?

HI. In Windows there are Flash Drive tester that tests if there's something wrong with the Flash drive's chips. How do you test a flash drive for errors on OS X? I bought the HP v220w which is tiny for a 16GB and it's metal. The whole thing goes into the plug. Design wise, it is great, it's very elegant like a jewelry. Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Format it for OS X and run a surface scan on the partition. That should show any hardware problems that don't keep it from working altogether.

It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive. Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

A10-70 giving error message when trying to use flash drive

I have a 32 gb USB flash drive I am trying to use. All I get is an error message: damaged external usb storage
Is it b/c the flash drive is too large or something weird? Don't know what to do.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Reformat your flash drive to FAT32 format. Plug it to the system and check. To reformat your flash drive, follow below steps:
1. Right click on the flash drive icon and select Format
2. Under Format window, select FAT32 under File system and click on Start.
Note: Reformatting your flash drive will erase all your data.

Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder... How can I fix this?
Please help me!

You don't need to recover the system.
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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
dot_clean -m
Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

Songs that are imported manually from cds or flash drives are randomly deleting from my iphone 5. Sometimes I get an error -54 message first. Sometimes not. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I have an iPhone 5 16g ios 8.2 and it keeps randomly deleting the songs I manually put on from cds or flash drives. The songs I purchased from iTunes don't delete just the ones I manually add. It has happened three times, once after I added 399 songs, once after I added 27 songs and once when I added 45 songs. Sometimes an error (-54) pops up but not always, it's just in an instant all the songs I put on are suddenly gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times, reset all the settings on my phone and also restored my phone to factory settings. Nothing has worked. I have a 4th generation iPod and I have never had this problem. Any and all suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

Hi Nathanbeyondme!
I have an article that can help you with that question:
OS X Mountain Lion: Store your content in iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11421
Safari bookmarks and tabs
iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List the same in Safari on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. On your Mac, Safari also uses iCloud to let you open tabs that are open on your other devices. You set up the Safari service in iCloud preferences.
If you are having issues with syncing these bookmarks, you will want to reference the following article:

How is the flash drive formatted? Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities) and see how it's formatted - that might be the problem.

Errors in dmesg when trying to format a usb flash drive

I'm trying to format it using `mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdb1`, the progress freezes after some seconds and dmesg starts to print a bunch of errors. Aparently at a certain point the device gets removed from the system (not listed in /dev anymore).
Here is dmesg log from the point where I plug the flash drive and start the command up to when /dev/sdb disappears:
http://pastie.org/9932469
I tried this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149384 but it didn't help.

File formats aren't compatible based on filesystem. It's just data to the filesystem. Compatibility is at the application level, which is where the files are opened and read. Any file can be put onto any drive, assuming it is within the filesystems limitations (i.e. FAT32's 4GB size limit).

Trying to use a usb flash drive on an ipad 2 and get a power error

bought the camera kit and trying to plug in a flash drive to the usb slot and getting an insufficient power error message. How do I use a flash drive on the ipad 2?

Yes. The CCK does work with SD cards or a USB cable (coming from a camera). This is the easiest and best option if it would work for you. Or, you can try a 4GB or smaller flash drive and follow the instructions the other have posted here for renaming those files. Or, finally, you can try a powered USB hub. All of this will work only for photo or videos you've taken. Not for any other kind of file.
The best way to transfer files around is probably Dropbox or a similar service of cloud storage. You can get 2 GB free. www.dropbox.com

Saving errors concerning flash drives

Recently I was editing a pdf file, specifically adding annotations to the material, off of an external flash drive. I ended up leaving the computer alone for a while, having not saved the file and put the pc into hibernate. While it was in this state, I ended up removing the memory stick so that I could put a different file on it onto another computer. After have done this, I returned to the original computer that I was using to the edit the pdf and took it out of hibernate. I plugged my memory stick back in and clicked on the pdf in question to continue adding annotations. Most of the pages of the pdf were blanked out, and any attempt made to save the pdf was met with an error message: "The external volume of the file has been changed, so the copy open is invalid". Eventually, I closed the file without saving and opened it up anew from my memory stick: in the past, this has prompted the system to grant an error message saying that the file in question did not shut down properly and restore the lost data. In this case, it did not work. Can anybody explain to me exactly what has happened in this situation, what has happened or not happened to the edits I have made, why there is no automatic backup like usual and how this state of affairs can be mitigated, now and in the future?

If you take a memory stick out and put it back, the system doesn't pick up where it left off. Rather, it behaves exactly as if it were a different stick. Programs that were using file on the stick are left high and dry, and there is no way to recover them except to reopen the files - it may not be possible to close them.
Furthermore, removing a stick without shutting it down may leave files half written and permanently damaged, and this is true whether you are hibernated or not.
Never remove a stick for files that are in use. For safety, never remove a stick while hibernated. Instead, always use the "Safely remove hardware" feature while the system is running. This will reject any attempt to remove a stick where something is in use.

Error code -36 with FAT 32 USB Flash Drive

When copying files from my hard drive to a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive I keep getting error code -36 errors. I reformatted the flash drive to Mac OS Extended and the files copied fine. I formatted it back to FAT32 and the error returned. I need to use this drive with PC computers at school and can't leave it in the Mac format. Anyone know of a solution to this problem. It didn't do it with my G4 powermac and OS 10.4 but does with the mac mini with 10.6.

This is a problem I've been dealing with since getting a new Macbook for christmas. In my case I use a Macbook with 10.6.2 at home, networked to a winxp computer, also use FAT formatted USB sticks for backups and taking files to work....and at work I use a mix of winxp machines and older macs running 10.3 and 10.4. I move files around between them all the time, and have had this annoying error -36 file copying problem with the 10.6.2 macbook since day 1.
I did read about the dot_clean solution, and it does seem to work....sometimes. But the problem ISN'T just when copying a folder full of files. I also have the situation where I work on files in InDesign, and then export a PDF directly to the desktop. I then try to copy that ONE pdf file from the desktop to a FAT USB stick OR to an internet-accessed Appleshare volume, and I will get the dreaded error -36. MOST of the time when I get the error on a single file like this, it did actually copy and is useable on the USB stick / Appleshare volume and I can ignore the error. But sometimes not. Either way, it does show that the problem isn't just with folders of files, or even with the situation of copying a file from mac to windows to mac and then getting the error the next time you try to copy it to a win formatted volume.....you CAN get the error with an individual, just-created file in 10.6.2.
I sure wish Apple would fix this already!

Device removal error when flash drive is plugged in

I have a 1GB flash drive that I have used for a while with my Windows XP desktop. I switched from a PC laptop to a Mac Book Pro running Leopard. But the Mac Book gave me the drive removal error when I tried to use the flash drive. The PC desktop worked with the drive just fine. So I backed up the flash drive and reformatted it in FAT32. Then I reloaded the files. For a short while I had no problem with the Mac Book. Now I am getting removal errors again. I have been careful not the remove the drive, either from the PC or or the Mac Book, without going through proper procedures. It does no good to "repair" the drive from the Mac Book. Any suggestions?
