HD and EXT HD formatting types?

Hi,
I was hoping to get some answers on this. What is the difference between all of the HD format types you can do via the Disk Utility?
HFS
HFS Journaled
HFS case sensitive, journaled
Etc Etc...
Thanks

The non-descriptive answer is that Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the one you'll want to use, unless you have a very specific reason to do otherwise.
About journaling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2355
Case-sensitive means you can have a volume called 'My Disk' and one called 'my disk' on the same drive. Can't be done on a boot drive. It's generally not a good idea and is primarily needed when you are running legacy Unix apps.
A related issue (one you didn't raise) is partition scheme (in the Options section of the Partition tab). There, you will want GUID. If you need to boot an older system (PPC-based Macs) you can use the Apple Partition Map. There's also a Windows option (FAT32 format).

  • Data Recover From Formatted Drive? What is the best program to use to get back Logic Projects and any other file type?

    I was in the process of reorganising my hard drives so I could RAID them however I managed to corrupt one drive and had to format it which meant I lost all my Logic Files and some other files. I managed to save a lot of files (mainly video files) before I had to format the drive but I need a Data Recovery service that will not alter anything on the hard drive and will put all the formatted files (regardless of the type) back for me so I can get the rest of the ones I need.
    Thanks in advance.

    What about folders and such?
    No. FS doesn't reconstruct folders. However, Data Rescue does, depending on how you use it. About the only thing in Data Rescue a Quick Scan ever seems to show you are files that are already live.
    So that leaves you with a Deep Scan, or a Deleted Files scan. The first pass of a Deep Scan will attempt to retrieve folders and files, along with their original names. The second pass only looks for file patterns. Like recognizing a Photoshop .psd file. It will recover it, but give it a nonsense name. A Deleted Files scan only results in nonsense names of recognized file types; no folders.
    What were you using File Salvage on? A hard drive?
    Yes, though you can use it on a flash drive, or any other mounted drive.
    At the moment it is estimating 289 hours remaining on a 1TB drive. Can it not go faster?
    No, both of the software mentioned are slower than molasses in January. When you delete anything in Windows, its file table entry simply tagged as deleted. So to unerase them, the tag is removed. That's why it works to quickly and easily (assuming you haven't already overwritten the data to be recovered).
    In OS X though, the whole idea of the underlying UNIX structure is all about security. It's not supposed to be easy to retrieve deleted items. When you delete items, their file table entries are erased. So the only way to find deleted items is to scour the entire drive for BOF (Beginning Of File) markers that don't have a matching starting block to anything that is in the file table.
    Another question, half the drive was empty. Will it fly over that empty space or will it sieve through it incase there was some files stored on it?
    If you use the Expert mode is FS, you can choose to do that:

    Hi Nalani500 ,
    Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
    1) Go to the response file
    2) Select the response you want to print
    3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.

  • No message for validation error "format", type "date", field "date-expired"

  • EXIF, UserComment and UNICODE. Format???

    I am trying to write the image description into the EXIF UserComment tag as UNICODE. Unfortunately, in the TIFF6 and EXIF file format description, there is no specification for the format to use for the UNICODE characters. Is it 2-byte LE, 2-byte BE, UTF-8, UTF-16, ??? Photoshop seems to treat this tag as some 2-byte characters, at least when changing the byte order of the file (for example when reading DNG and storing as TIFF), the bytes of the UserComment tag get swapped too. However, since the tag is of the type "Undefined", byte swapping should not take place. I tried to add little endian, big endian and UTF-8 byte marks, but the text still gets messed up. So, what is the correct format for this tag? Does it help to store the comment as undefined (8 * 0x00 as format identifier) and then use the appropriate byte marks for the text string? A related problem: Why does Photoshop remove the GPS tag when reading a DNG file and then storing as TIFF, but retains the tag when storing as JPEG? Does not make much sense to me...

    What are you using to do this? The EXIF 2.2 file format standard provides for an 8 byte character code string, one of which is for Unicode, namely the ASCII bytes for U, N, I, C, O, D, E, \x0. The EXIF 2.2 standard is dated April 2002, and it simply refers to "the Unicode standard". The latest version of the Unicode standard at that time was 3.2.0, which is dated March 2002. Obviously, no encoding developed after that time would be what EXIF expects.
    After typing that, I did a google search for EXIF+usercomment and came up with a useful posting at http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2006-May/005000.html , relating to a tool called exiv, which states:
    >Unicode support for JFIF and EXIF comments:
    >
    >- use UTF8 for JFIF comment
    >- use Unicode (UCS-2) to write JPEG UserComment,
    > support charset specification when reading the UserComment
    > - add convertCommentValue method to DMetaData
    >
    >Using UTF8 for JFIF is simple and easy and should work.
    >The UCS-2 support needs testing (and a decision if we
    >always want to write Unicode, or a way to find out when we need to
    >and when we can as well write ASCII)
    So maybe use UCS-2 (UTF-16)?

  • Format type error

    You don't say which format function you're referring to, but
    if you have
    found a bug in CS3, report it:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Give reproducible steps in the bug report. It's only by
    reporting bugs
    that they will get fixed. CS3 went through very lengthy beta
    testing,
    but if no one actually used that feature, it will have been
    presumed to
    be OK.
    Often what happens is that something else is added or fixed,
    which has
    an unexpected knock-on effect. It's only when someone
    stumbles on it
    that the new problem comes to light.

  • Format type Issue

    Hi,
    Our functional team has generated a customised report but it is getting truncated as when they are executing in background. The spool generated by the report doesn't show all the columns. The defined format type to the printer was X_65_255.
    We tried creating new format types of higher colums i.e. Z :X_65_512 and Z :X_65_1024 but still the generated report is getting truncated.
    The SAP version on which we are working is BBPCRM4.0.
    Please let me know if you need any other information.
    Thanks in advance

  • Printer device group and a label format in SAP AII

    Hello @ all,
    I try to configure a SAP OER System with SAP AII. Now I should configure the label printing with the transaktion /AIN/ASGN_PRF_FORMAT. I must take a profile name, a printer device group and a label format. The problem is now, that I can't chose a printer device group and also I don't know the label format. Where can I adjust the printer device group and which label format must be in that field?
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you.
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    SAP AII sends the label format filename as part of the Command message xml to the printer during tag commissioning.
    I assume you have configured the label format filename for SAP_PRINT_PROFILE using transaction /AIN/ASGN_PRF_FORMAT - Assign Format to Printer and Profile
    Now you have to assign that profile to an ID type or GTIN, etc. using the menus under Profiles for Tag Commissioning and Label Printing.
    Once this configuration is done, the xml command message containing the element WriteTagData is sent to the printer RFC destination configured against the Device controller as an HTTP message.
    This command message will contain the label format and  field names - value pairs as per the SAP_PRINT_PROFILE.

  • I used bootcamp assistant to partition my hard drive to install windows.  When I got to the part to install windows, I selected the bootcamp partition and then choose format as instructed but it would not continue stating that the partition was in GPT par

    Please help!!  I partitioned my macbook pro hard drive in bootcamp so that I could install windows.  Everything appeared fine until I got to the install part.  I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and then selected format as instucted.  That was it.  The install could not proceed because it says the partion is in the GPT format instead of NTSF.  At this point it erased the "BOOTCAMP" name from the partion but the partion still exists. 
    I tried to reform by going back on the OS side, in disk utitly, erase and format.  It will not allow me to select NSTF format.
    What do I do to fix this??
    Thanks for you comments.
    Kristina

    In Boot Camp Assistant when you select the format option the Boot Camp partition it automatically formats the Boot Camp partition as NTFS since this is what Windows requires. There is no option to select NTFS or any other format type.

  • PAGE FORMAT - TYPE ANY

    wHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PAGE FORMAT - TYPE ANY IN SMART FORMS????
    dOES THAT ADJUST ACCORDING TO PAGE CONTENTS PRINTED ON IT???
    OR DOES THAT HAVE SOME THING ELSE????

    Hi ,
    On the pages of a form you determine the page layout and the sequence of pages with different structures. If makes sense to distinguish between draft pages and print pages:
    You use a draft page to determine the layout and the contents of one or several print pages. In SAP Smart Forms, you use the Form Builder to define draft pages.
    Print pages are those pages that are eventually printed.
    The page layout includes the page format (for example, DIN A4, Letter, DIN A5 landscape) and the position of the windows on a page.

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • USB Hard Disk Question (Format Type)

    Hi,
    I've bought a 500GB Hard Disk which I'd like to use for editing.
    The Hard Disk works fine and I can Log and Transfer small video files ok. The problem occurs when I want to capture large video files. These always seem to error. The same large video files work fine if I capture straight to my iMac's internal Hard Disk.
    I think the problem occurs when the video is greater than 4GB. Could this be related to the Format type of the USB Hard Disk?
    If so how should I re-format the drive to work with large video files? And how do I do this on a Mac?
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    A USB drive will not cut it for video editing. You will get dropped frames, either when editing or capturing to it. USB transfers data in bursts, not a continuous stream as FireWire does. Wile it might not be happening right now, it will once you start filling it up, having multiple tracks in FCP, etc.
    Your drive came preformatted for Windows, as do most of them. The FAT file structure used has an individual file size limit of 4GB.
    To reformat as for the Mac OS, use Disk Utility (In the Applications/Utilities folder).
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the drive in the column at left.
    Click on Erase and choose Mac OS Extended, click the Erase button at bottom right to confirm.
    This will of course, destroy all files currently on the drive. Back up first!
    For best results, recapture your video again.
