HD formats to wrong size on ext FW

New Maxtor Diamondmax 10 300GB HD PATA133 16MB 7200 will only format to 128GB via external FW enclosure. Please advice how to format to full capacity!
Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

laCie strikes again. These old cases sometimes work with certain drives and not with others. The Maxtor is obviously having trouble with the LaCie.
I would get a WiebeTech Maxelerate enclosure. They are on sale this month for $49.95 and include a FW and USB hub and a fan. All in a die cast aluminum enclosure. All this for $49.95 is an awesome FW400 enclosure deal. See a review here:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/max/
It works great with any Macintosh. At $49.95 its not just for Mac mini any more.

    When application quits - it's all forgotten and it self-resets to
    unwanted configuration.

    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • TS1702 My book won't open.  I get a message saying formatting is wrong for iBooks.

    Can't open a recently purchased book.  Message says formatting is wrong.

    Where did you purchase the book?
    If it is from the iBooks Store, you can delete the book and then go to the Store, click "Purchased" in the lower right, and re-download it.
    If it is not from the iBooks Store, there might indeed be a format inconsistency.

  • Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

    Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.  I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this.  Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks CtDave, for the further info.  Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
    ....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF.  One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF.  (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.)  However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
    What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF.  It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method.  I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
    .....Also, thanks Test Screen Name:  I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf).  But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
    Kind regards,

  • Create custom document with wrong size

    Hi,
    I have a problem (on Sun Solaris 5.8) when I create custom document with more than 10MB size.
    I've created an agent which detects the events on a custom data type
    MYDOCUMENT (extension .mydoc).
    When I put a new document test1.mydoc (size of 10MB for example), my agent detects the new document, creates a copy, sets the class object to
    MYDOCUMENT , removes the original document and puts the copy into the same folder.
    But sometimes, the copy created has a wrong size (less then 10MB).
    How can I configure the nfs server to be sure that the agent waits for the complete size of the added document.
    I need HELP !!!!
    Thanks

    Hi Pavithra,
                    yeah you can create your custom table by entering fields in Standard.  for more details

  • PDF is the wrong size from framemaker 8

    I am trying to create a PDF from Framemaker 8. The page size of the doc is US letter (216mm x 279mm)
    I am tring to change this to A4 (210mm x 297mm). Margins or extra white space is not an issue.
    Not matter what setting I change in Framemaker 8, either in the print dialog under "PDF setup" or in "Setup"
    where I am changing everything to A4 my PDF generates as 210mm x 279mm
    I have tried various job options and but still the PDF is the wrong size
    FYI I am using Frame 8/Distiller 9..
    Any ideas..?

  • Help: JPanel/JFrame display complexities, wrong size

    I am trying to make a simple game of worms.I wan't to draw a rectangle in the center of the window where in the middle the game is played and on the outside score, lives and other such things are displayed. The problem is the rectangle won't draw properly because the window is the wrong size and I don't know if it is something I am doing wrong with the panel or frame.
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class DemoWormPanel extends JPanel implements Runnable{
        private static final int WIDTH = 600, HEIGHT = 400;

            super();
            setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
        public void startGame() {
            if (animator == null) {
                animator = new Thread(this);
                animator.start();
            running = true;
            //defining game walls at 50 pixels within panel border
            walls = new Rectangle(50, 50, WIDTH - 50, HEIGHT - 50);

            paint(g);

            while (running) {
                gameRender();
                repaint();

            f.add(wp);
            f.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
            f.setVisible(true);
            wp.startGame();
    }Somewhere in there is my problem.
    What happens is that the right and bottom walls of the Rectangle are cut off of the screen because the window is not the right size. I changed the code to determine if the coordinates of the walls were accurate every iteration and they were. I also made it check the width and height every iteration by printing out this.getWidth() and this.getHeight() and found that instead of a 600 x 400 window, I have a 584 x 364. I also tried changing the panel and frame's size methods to make a new dimension instead of setting it directly from my constants and it had no effect. I also added directly to those constants to make it precisely 600 x 400 but the rectangle is still cut off, so maybe I also have a graphics issue. The only other potential issue I can think of is that I have Vista but I looked around here and searched google and found no similar issues to this.
    I am not new to java but I am also not advanced. I just started using java again after about 6 months and I have made a pong game before without this problem, on another computer though.I am at my wits end. I'll check for responses tomorrow and thank you for any help or insight you can offer.

    the problem is here
    walls = new Rectangle(50, 50, WIDTH - 50, HEIGHT - 50);
    at best the right/bottom walls will equal the frame's dimensions. try it as
    walls = new Rectangle(50, 50, WIDTH - 100, HEIGHT - 100);
    but this won't get you exactly what you want, due to the titlebar height (30?)
    slightly different version
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    class DemoWormPanel extends JPanel {
        private static final int WIDTH = 600, HEIGHT = 400;
        public DemoWormPanel() {
            setBackground(Color.BLACK);
            setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH-100,HEIGHT-100));
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            DemoWormPanel wp = new DemoWormPanel();
            JFrame f = new JFrame();
            f.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.add(wp,new GridBagConstraints());
            f.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);

  • Printer prints wrong size

    HP 2570 Photosmart
    Running windows XP
    No messages
    No known changes
    I tried this question in the Home and Network printing forum, and after 4 days, not one person has replied, much less had an answer.
    Recently, my HP 2570 has been printing certain files the wrong size.  I have a graphics design program (basically line art) which is supposed to print my design at actual size.  The design has a background of a 1" by 1" grid. 
    Until recently, I have had no problems.  Now, when I try to print a design, the print preview shows the image as it should appear, but the printed image is reduced to about 87% of the actual size.  This is easy to verify - I measure the spacing of the grid lines - they are 7/8" apart. 
    I printed the same design on two different days, and the two printed images are NOT the same size. 
    The only thing which I can find which seems unusual is that when I look at the printer driver details, I find FIVE different files.  They are:
    C:\\windows\system32\drivers\serscan.sys
    .....................................hpotiop2.dll
    .....................................hpovst09.dll
    .....................................hpowiamd.dll
    .....................................hpzc3212.dll
    Any ideas?

    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here(to make sure there are no software issues causing the problem):
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Site previews fine in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all the text is the wrong size

    I am a rookie web designer. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com When I previewed the site in Dreamweaver it looked good in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site from the directory an hourago and put this new site in its place) Why does IE display properly, but not Firefox...

    Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file.  This is pointing to a file on your local hard drive which nobody but you can see.
    <link href="file:///C|/hetzlerj/jhgc/menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Open your template and reconcile the path to your site folder.  It should probably look like this:
    <link href="../menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Save Template.  Populate changes to Child pages.  Upload Child pages.

  • Landscape Orientation: [view bounds] gives wrong sizes?

    Hi
    Getting a view's bounds rect while in Landscape Mode returns the wrong sizes:
    Starting from a new UIView Template Project, I'm adding a single UIView to the ViewController in Interface Builder (in Landscape Mode) and setting the view size to width=400, height=200;
    However when I add a breakpoint in the ViewController (at viewDidAppear), the sizes are w=220, h=380!
    (Even though the view clearly is correct on the screen)
    In myViewController.m I've set:
    - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
    (UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight); // home button on right
    In myAppDelegate.m
    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    application.statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight; //home on right
    [window addSubview:viewController.view];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
    and in the info.plist I've set: Initial interface orientation = Landscape (right home button)
    I'm not trying to rotate the view with the iPhone, it is meant to be fixed in Landscape only.
    Is there a workaround for this? I need to create some CALayers dependent on the correct view size.
    Thanks

    The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

    I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

    Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

    is a good working example with a CLOB, which should be the just about the same. I think there was also a BLOB example, but I'm not sure...

  • RG1 printing format for A4 size paper with all records

    RG1 register print not showing all details (Qty.) through J2i6 and no proper printing format for A4 size.
    Is there any std. printing format for RG1 ?
    Please give the std. ready format for RG1....
    THANKS.

    Your subject title mentions A4 sized paper, the body mentions US Letter size.
    Assuming you want one half of a letter-size for each page, create the page size as portrait, 5.5" wide, 8.5" tall.
    Thread in logical order, page 1 through...how many ever pages. You should have a page count evenly divisible by 4.
    Export to PDF as normal...single pages.
    Open the PDF in Acrobat or Reader, print the booklet from it.

  • What am I doing wrong - size issue

    Need some advice...as usual!
    I designed a site on my 17" monitor and set the margins to 0
    and table to 100%. However when I look at it on different screens
    it looks rubbish...big gap at the bottom of the page with the
    design cramp at the top. I wonder if someone would mind looking at
    my code and see what's wrong with it. The site was designed using
    various techniques including css for nav bars, tables, and
    fireworks elements. the site can be viewed at:
    www.shelleyhadler.co.uk/nerja.html
    thanks for your help. Shell

    >Re: What ams I doing wrong - size issue.
    Several things...
    First, your 17" monitor has noting to do with web page
    layout. What
    resolution is your monitor set to? it could be 800 pixels
    wide or 1280
    pixels... wouldn't that make a difference? That aside, screen
    resolution and
    size are irrelevant anyway. What counts it eh size that your
    viewers have
    their web browser window set at.
    I have a pretty large monitor, set to a very high resolution,
    so I open
    several windows at once and size them so I can see the
    content in all.
    Sometimes my browser is full screen and sometimes its shrunk
    down to less
    than 600 x 800. Your web site needs to accommodate that.
    Every web viewer
    out there is different and likes the way they have their
    screens set up. So
    you need to be flexible and your site needs to be flexible.
    Next, Don't design in Fireworks and import to Dreamweaver.
    Fireworks is a
    superb web ready graphics and imaging processing program. The
    authors
    (mistakenly) threw in some web authoring stuff that works
    very poorly.
    Design your pages using Dreamweaver. Learn html markup and
    css styling to
    arrange it, then use Fireworks to create graphics to support
    your content.
    Along the way, be aware of the diffferant browsers in use.
    Internet
    Explorer is the most popular (or at least most in use) simply
    by virtue of
    the Microsoft market share, but it is also the least web
    complient (by virue
    of the Microsoft arrogance) so some things that work there,
    (like your green
    bands) won't on other browsers and vice versa.
    That said... graphically, your site looks great. You have a
    good eye for
    composition and simple clean design. You just need to learn
    to use html to
    your best advantage to create some realy nice looking and
    nicely working
    sites.
