Fusion Drive help, Keep getting errors.

I just installed a SSD in my MBP 2009. I want to turn it into a fusion drive. I'm following the directions on the internet, and this is what I get...

I successfully followed the blog.centurio.net and pintofcode.com procedure to set up a Fusion drive on my 2011 IMAC with SSD & HD yesterday.
I did at one point have the 69888 error.   To correct this:
In the procedure for (Pintofcode)MERGING THE DRIVES, instead of booting from the recovery drive, I booted from the bootable USB stick.
I hope it helps.

  • HELP: Keep Getting Error When Applying Magic Bullet Looks

    get this error when applying Looks.
    "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks".
    and then it says
    "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <2280>
    <MCExportInfo: Destruct> <5> Destruct for 420462944"
    I try to apply Looks to another video and I get a different error saying language registry key. I apply Looks to a third video and I get the dynamiclink error. It's like different error for different video. All 3 videos shot with different cameras.

    Same problem here ! I have Vista 64 bit and Intel 4500 Mhd
    driver. The issue is Magic Bullet Misfire works fine in Adobe After
    Effects CS5 but it crashes with Magic Bullet Looks.
    Have checked OpenGL in AE CS5 which are by default OFF, that is if you open Adobe After Effects CS5 and into edit and then click 'preferences'. Under previews there is ur OpenGL info. Click OpenGL, its says need to update driver or get a better OpenGL above 2.0. I think updating to new OpenGL may fix the issue. I have made a video with Magic Bullet Misfire and it works fine but the issue is with only 'Magic Bullet Looks' presets where the AE crashes.
    So it cant be Windows 7, Vista or 32 bit or 64 bit issue. Probably a driver error or an internal Magic Bullet 1.4 or Adobe After Effects CS5 64 bit error.

  • TS3694 keep getting Error 9 can you help as cant use my phone

    help keep getting error 9 when trying to restore phone

    Hi there Holly N,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

  • I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
    For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
    In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

  • I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
    That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
    if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
    main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
    If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
    after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
    that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
    What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
    verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
    free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
    unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
    Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
    This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
    memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
    and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
    system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
    to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
    as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
    If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
    it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
    files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
    You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
    and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
    I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
    in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
    In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
    carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT201413 I keep getting error-36 when I try and transfer my iPhoto library to my hard drive. Can anyone help me please.

    When I try and transfer my iphoto library from my computer to my harddrive, I keep getting error message "error-36". Can anyone help me please?

    Odd, it seems.  In the Finder "Get Info" display, you are seeing something like this?
    Click the "Details" triangle and then the little padlock, and you should be able to change the permissions.  Click the lock when you are done and close the Info window.

    I am trying to re-install Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard on my Widows 7 Professional computer after I had to replace the hard drive. I keep getting error message and I get "Exit Code 15: Media DB Sync failed". I have run C Cleaner with same results. Have Disabled UAC and Startup items and Services with no success. Please help - frustrated to no end. Can someone help me?

    make sure you're using the adobe cleaner, not crap cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    copy the installation files to a desktop folder and install from there.

    This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

  • I am trying to download itunes 10.7 and keep getting "error writing to file C\config.msi\6f8a6.rbf.  Can anyone help?

    I am trying to download itunes 10.7 and keep getting "error writing to file C\config.msi\6f8a6.rbf"  Can anyone help?

    Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? (There's been a few reports in recent times of Kaspersky interfering with iTunes installs, with that message being produced.)
    If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Any better luck with the security software shut down?

  • I can't no longer access Itunes.  Keep getting error message 127.  I tried uninstalling Itunes, but can't.  So frustrated.  Please help.

    First, if you've moved the iPhoto library to an external drive, make sure that drive is mounted by opening it in the Finder.
    The issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
              Show Package Contents
    from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
    Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
    and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.

  • I keep getting error msg. 4 my lacie external drive that it unexpectedly quit. It then proceeds to go away and reappear again a ffew

    Hi All,
    Since I upgraded to ML, I keep getting error msg. 4 my lacie external drive that it unexpectedly quit. It then proceeds to go away and reappear again a few mins. will appear. It also mentions this ejection could destroy my data. I've already updated the Driver to the most current one ta LaCie had for my 500 GB Rikki External. That didn't help. I also tried Disk Utility to repair permissions No Help! Suggestions?

    That would be highly unusual, since the Apple ID is almost always the email address, unless it's changed later, and normally has to be unique to set up a new Apple ID. In any case, if you have two Apple IDs (or more), you probably need to authorize the computer using both.
    Regards.
