HELP: File System Erro

Hi, i hope somebody can help me... i have a MuVo N200 (GB) bought few months ago.
Now i can't use it because when i push the on button appears the message "File System Error" and the player turns off automatically.
Somebody can help me?
Thanks...

It doesn't matter if you already have the latest firmware, reload it anyway. This can sort out a lot of problems.
You say that you can't format the player - does it tell you why? Any error messages?

Check the thread at the top of the board 'Your player not working? Try a reformat. How-to guide here'. Try doing a format to FAT.

Help files for users

I'd like to provide a help facility for users of the desktop programs I'm developing. The last item on the Menu Bar should be Help, and the first item on that menu should lead to instructions on how the program works.
I find it curious that in the tutorials and textbooks I have researched, I haven't found any mention of a Help File System. Is there no standard Java way of presenting user help information?
One obvious solution is to place the information in a set of HTML files. But the missing link is invoking the browser from within a Java desktop application. I've discovered how to do that in Windows using rundll32, but that's implementation dependent. Is there a standard way of asking the default browser to display a given URL?

As cotton says, one can use JavaHelp to provide help information.
Perhaps an easier but dirtier way is to display some information such as an HTML-based help file in a JEditorPane.
Depends on how professional you want your help to look like.

Move System Preferences Help file back into System Preferences folder?

How do I move System Preferences Help file back into System Preferences folder. I unintentionally moved it. My Mac blocks putting it back. Suggestions? Thanks!

Somehow I managed to delete my System Preferences shortly after upgrading, and was able to use the 10.4 one for a while until I applied the patch. Luckily, I already had Pacifist, and with your directions I was able to get close enough so that I could find the Applications folder within the ContentsofEssentialsSystemSoftwareGroup > ContentsofEssentials.pkg > Applications > SystemPreferences.app.
For that, I owe you the deepest gratitude and a gigantic THANK YOU. My System Preferences is now fully reinstalled and working wonderfully.
Pacifist might actually be worth purchasing.

Hi Cody
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
It should be very uncommon for Pages to crash. I've been using it for years on a daily basis and it's only happened to me once except when I was trying to replicate a bug for someone.
Your experience might be a symptom of an underlying problem with your system. I recommend that you back all your stuff up now.
Whilst trying to isolate the issue, I recommend that you manually create frequent backups of your documents using the Finder after a successful save until you can trust it.
Next, use disk utility to do a repair permissions on your hard drive.
Also, after quitting Pages, try trashing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWorks.Pages.plist file (back it up first if you want) and restarting Pages.
If this doesn't work, there are loads of troubleshooting tips here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html. I also recommend that you read the tips on system maintenance.
In case you didn't already know this, Pages files are actually packages. Control-click on the icon and select Show Package Contents to see what's inside. You may be able to recover some text from the files in there. I don't believe there are any repair utilities. Nor is the file format available.
I hope this helps you.

Help File to Be Integrated with Sap System

Dear sir

I M Not able to get the help from the system the error it throw is no document available i want the help of .chm file so is there any way to integrate that file with SAP system so that we can cget help from sap system itself
I m Using ECC 5.0
Regards
Ashish

you can place (install) the help files on any machine you want, at least it has a web server on it.
you can then specify the "Server Name" and "Path" in SR13 to this server (e.g. Server Name = mywebserver.mycompany.com:1080, Path = helpdata)
the clients open the associated program to the extension of the files (in case of .chm and .html it would be most likely the Internet Explorer)

Several problems exist.
1.
Back up your Mac prior to making any changes to its file system. Time Machine has not been configured properly To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
2.
You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

HELP!: How to read and write to External hard drives? What file system to use?

hey all, this has been really frustrating for me today. i want to be able to write to an external HDD that's formatted in NTFS. today i find out it isn't possible to write to this file system on a Mac and that on FAT32 it is possible. however, FAT32 can't address files larger than 4GB so this hurts me a lot. are there any other file systems that'll allow me to read and write from a Mac? my goal was to use freeNAS to build a NAS with an old tower and connect my external hard drives to it, but if i can't write to them this may not be possible.
thanks guys, i'd appreciate any help!

Read this, you don't need to install any software unless you have no choice.

Help Library on Aix file system

Dear Experts,
Users in my company are using SAP GUI for windows as a front end tool to access the SAP Application
My Application is runinig on AIX, I was configuerd the Help files on windows machine " i shared directory on this machine for every one , i put the help files there, from SR13 i put the path ,and it was working fine"
but now i want to move this HELP directory to the AIX file system, i don't know how to make this file system accessed by the SAPGUI
Could you please help me on how can i use one file system on AIX as shared folder containig the HELP files and can be accessed by the windows SAPGUI?
Thanks
Sherif

Hello Sherif,
Please go to transaction FILE. There you will file an entry for NETSCAPE_PATH. This is the path you need to give in SR13. Actually this is a logical path which has to be mapped with the physical file path which will be nothing but the location of your online help files. The mapping will be done in FILE itself.
Next you need to make settings in SR13 and give this path.

When trying to install Aid Virtual Instruments I get a warning no mountable file systems. I need help fixing the problem.

When trying to install Pro Tools 10.3.3 Aid Virtual Instruments I get a warning no mountable file systems. I need help fixing the problem.

Thanks Linc for responding to my post. I searched a little further and found I was missing a file. Once I downloaded the fix, I was able to install the software from the original download.

I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?

Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

Need help with File system creation fro Oracle DB installation

Hello,
I am new to Solaris/Unix system landscape. I have a Sun enterprise 450 with 18GB hard drive. It has Solaris 9 on it and no other software at this time. I am planning on adding 2 more hard drives 18gb and 36gb to accommodate Oracle DB.
Recently I went through the Solaris Intermediate Sys admin training, knows the basic stuff but not fully confident to carry out the task on my own.
I would appreciate some one can help me with the sequence of steps that I need perform to
1. recognize the new hard drives in the system,
2. format,
3. partition. What is the normal strategy for partitioning? My current thinking is to have 36+18gb drives as data drives. This is where I am little bit lost. Can I make a entire 36GB drive as 1 slice for data, I am not quite sure how this is done in the real life, need your help.
4. creating the file system to store the database files.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Here is the rough idea for HA from my experience.
The important thing is that the binaries required to run SAP
are to be accessible before and after switchover.
In terms of this file system doesn't matter.
But SAP may recommend certain filesystem on linux
please refer to SAP installation guide.
I always use reiserfs or ext3fs.
For soft link I recommend you to refer SAP installation guide.
In your configuration the files related to SCS and DB is the key.
Again those files are to be accessible both from hostA and from hostB.
Easiest way is to use share these files like NFS or other shared file system
so that both nodes can access to these files.
And let the clustering software do mount and unmount those directory.
DB binaries, data and log are to be placed in shared storage subsystem.
(ex. /oracle/*)
SAP binaries, profiles and so on to be placed in shared storage as well.
(ex. /sapmnt/*)
You may want to place the binaries into local disk to make sure the binaries
are always accessible on OS level, even in the connection to storage subsystem
losts.
In this case you have to sync the binaries on both nodes manually.
Easiest way is just put on shared storage and mount them!
Furthermore you can use sapcpe function to sync necessary binaries
from /sapmnt to /usr/sap/<SID>.
For your last question /sapmnt should be located in storage subsystem
and not let the storage down!

Help! Corrupted file system....

Hi all,
One of the partitions on my external hard drive (Mac OS Extended Journaled) has a corrupted file system. This occurred right after I installed the latest NTFS-3G driver, which allows read/write of NTFS drives (http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/). The external HD was accessed via my Airport Extreme (so it was an "Air Drive"). When I connected it directly to my MBP and used Disk Utility to Verify/Repair, I got the following error messages:
*Invalid node structure*
*Invalid B-tree node size*
*Volume check failed.*
*Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.*
What is going on here and how can I fix it??? I should note that I've already uninstalled NTFS-3G but the problem persists. Also, it's not a physical problem with external HD, since the other two partitions on the disk appear fine.
Any help would be much appreciated!

It would have to have been a pretty big coincidence since it happened immediately afterward...but you're right, I have no way of knowing for sure. I've never had a hard drive do this; I've been a windows user until about a year ago. I thought the HFS+ file system was supposed to be better...Ironically, the good old FAT32 partition on the same drive is still going strong.
Disk Warrior is a $99 purchase. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try before I plunk down the cash? BTW, Drive Genius 2 and also failed to repair it.

Help - odd file system corruption.

I have something very worrying going on on my system. The contents of an important folder is being listed differently in 3rd party applications vs the Finder. Apps which use a non-OS file browser cannot see the up to date contents (its an important project I'm currently working on), instead they only list folders from months ago which are now long gone and don't show the current true contents at all. Eg Cinema 4D's Content Browser can't see the current files correctly, but it can just fine via the OS Open/Save dialog.
Even worse is that Chrono Sync has exactly the same problem. When it syncs it correctly lists some of the current files that I'm working on, but in the Anylise section, manually drilling down to my working project folder again shows the incorrect contents!
I have copied the directories to a new HD but even THEY show the same errors when not viewing the contents directly with Lion file browsers***
I can remember once when I first saw this in Cinema 4D I immediately checked in the Finder - and the Finder showed the wrong contents too !- I refreshed the Finder window by clicking a different folder and back to the working directory which then updated before my eyes to the correct contents.
How can I fix this? It seems like there is an immenent serious corruption about to happen to my files and/or disk. Disk Utility shows no errors, nothing to repair. Can/should I use Diskwarrior or some other repair app. Help!
(***I just remembered that I used CCC in block level copy mode so this might account for why the corruption has been transferred to the new drive. I am copying the working directory to the new disk using drag nd drop in the Finder to see if that helps. However I still need the underlying corruption in my User folder repaired)

Yes, I have quite a comprehensive backup strategy in place (involving a Drobo for nightly CCC backups, a CCC nightly bootable disk clone and TM for hourly backups). The Block Copy is for the bootable disk. The nightly Drobo backups are done with vanila CCC file copying,
Disk Util does not find any problems, neither did Disk Warrior. SMART is all OK.
However as I said, the problem is present on one of the backups as well which has put the integrity of the rest of my backups in doubt. also I have tried a direct Finder copy to a new drive (instead of CCC block copy) but the problem persisted.
I have however come up with a temporary fix: I moved the current folder to the trash, navigated to the parent directory using Cinema 4D's Content Browser wherein it 'saw' the ancient folder once again. This errant folder was now also visible in the Finder since the original folder (which has the same name) was now in the trash. I renamed it and moved it to the trash too. Then put the original folder from the trash back into its parent directory and emptied the trash removing the errent folder for good. It seems that did the trick of updating whatever caches or databases were broken and all my apps can correctly see the correct folder and its contents again.
This 'historical' version of the folder was being linked to by 3rd party file browsers I think because in the past it had the same name in the same location as the current folder. Where and how the OS got confused is still a mystery. Does it keep different file system records for the finder vs other apps?
I am not 100% convinced this is a true solution though as there may well be a deeper problem afoot.
I would like to see some kind of error/fixed message from Disk Util just so I know the OS is on top of this problem. As it stands my Mac thinks everythin is A-OK.
