Help with disk failures when transfering data

I keep receiving data treansfer errors "Attempting to copy to the disk [my iPod's name] failed. The disk can not be read from or written to". But I can read from it and I can load some videos and music. Help!

The iPod firmware, uninstall the current one you have. For Windows go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. scroll down to 'iPod Updater 2005-10-12' and click Uninstall.
Download it again (just incase it was corrupted). And install it,
Plug in your iPod and go to Start -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater 2005-10-12 and click 'Restore' Note: This deletes all your music and files on your iPod, so you'll have to put those on again after, something will popup saying like that, click 'OK'. And let it go through, if theres any iPod Updater errors, post back.

I need some help with Migration Assistant for transferring data

I would like to transfer selected items from my iMac (G4) to a new MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant, Can I selectively choose things to transfer? And are there any problems going from a G4 to an Intel-based machine? I'm mostly interested in transferring iPhoto photos and music from iTunes.

Migrating data other than your home folder may replace Intel components with PowerPC ones on the MacBook Pro, which will cause slow performance. Dragging over applications manually by restarting the old Mac with the T key held down and then placing them in the new Mac's Applications folder will work with many applications, but not all; any applications for which this doesn't work will need to be reinstalled.

When transferring data from an old hard drive to a new one, is there a way to keep alias files and folders in tact?

My mac and I rely HEAVILY on the use of alias files and folders. The simple version of my question is: When transferring data from an old hard drive to a new one, is there a way to keep alias files and folders in tact? These are not symlinks or symbolic links, they're all alias files and folders.
Is there any software out there that might help me with a solution? Are there any tricks or tips you can give me to try?

Use either Setup Assistant at first start, or Migration Assistant on subsequent occasions and all will be transferred intact. Given your wording I presume you are Unix savvy and will appreciate the problems that duplicate userids would cause, so of you use MA for the migration, make sure the target Mac has no userid equal to that on the source and you will be fine.
SA does not have these issues since it runs before any user account is created, so it can simply copy over everything. But MA runs after the fact and only solves the issue partially by changing the UID in the user directory, leading to permission problems.

Error when transferring data; communication error when analyzing

Hi,
When I load the data from the SAP CRM source system. Iam getting the following error.
Error when transferring data; communication error when analyzing
Diagnosis
Data Packets or Info Packets are missing in BW, but there were - as far as can be seen - no processing errors in the source system. It is
therefore probable that an error arose in the data transfer.
With the analysis an attempt was made to read the ALE outbox of the source system, which lead to error .
It is possible that no connection exists to the source system.
Procedure
Check the TRFC overview in the source system.
Check the connection of the source system for errors and check the
authorizations and profiles of the remote user in both the BW and
source systems.
Check th ALE outbox of the source system for IDocs that have not been
Can anyone guide me on this.
Thanks in Advance
Varun

ok here's a development..when i logged in the source system to check the job...it says the job defn is incomplete. The description says:
Definition for job ARFC:SYSLOAD1C800CRMREMOTE is incomplete. Job cannot be released
Can anyone give an insight on it.
Any kind of input will be appreciated.

When transferring data from my old iMac to a newer one do the old Apple apps like iWorks override the new versions installed on the newer computer?

When transferring data from an older iMac to a newer iMac (refurbished) do the Apple applications like iWorks replace the ones on the newer computer?
I have read how to transfer data and using setup assistant but I am concerned about applications from Apple having the same names.

As you likely know legacy apps that are PPC based will not migrate over. However the data files will. I would urge you to inventory the apps you have and their data files to see how important they are and then look app by app to see what app replacements are available. If you are using Office for Mac prior to the 2008 version you will need to get a new license of the app because the 2004 version was PPC based. The files will come over and are readable by newer version of Office for Mac (I recommend the 2011 version) and also readable by the iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) but those are different apps than Office and work differently and do not have all of the features of the MS Office apps. This is really only a issue if you share files with MS Office users, if you use them for personal work then iWork may be just fine for your needs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

Help with disk space!

i need some serious help with disk space... so im on itunes today and it says i am running out of disk space and need to delete some files... i deleted every song in my itunes library and it stills gives me this message. i cannot download anything... i dont know what to do to clear up a large amount of disk space... please help. thanks!

Just some obvious questions first ...did you delete the song from itunes or from a playlist? Did you empty the trash yet ..as deleted files will go to your trash but still take up space until their actually deleted from here.
Doing a simple 'Get Info' (control + click) on certain files and folders will let you know how much space they are using. This app. also works nice in letting you know where all your space is being used...

Help with new hard drive and data recovery

I have a macbook pro 13" from early 2011...last week the hard drive crashed and after a few hours at the genius bar had to got tekserv to recover my data and get a new hard drive and update to 8GB of Ram. When I got my macbook back I was given an external hard drive that had everything from my old hard drive saved by the users on the old hard drive. I was hoping I could just transfer the user over to the new hard drive but since I had to restart the computer as a new computer I am not able to just reassign my old profile as the new one on this laptop. Maybe I've done something wrong but at this point I transferred all my documents over, moved my music and pictures over but I have a few things I can't figure out that I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. Do emails that were in my mail program from both gmail and my verizon.net program get saved somewhere or do I have to just assume those were lost?
2. my iTunes library is now there but none of my playlists are there. Should those have been saved somewhere in my iTunes folder that I should see them? I'm concerned about syncing my iPhone or iPads to iTunes without those there.
thanks for the help.

Help with Update failure please

I have Adobe Photoshop CC running on win 7 64 bit. When doing the latest batch of updates one keeps failing with the error message "Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4 Installation Failed Error Code U44M1P7" Can anyone help with this?

Thanks Eshant
I had since been researching this on the web and it seems it is a very
common fault which has not always been fixed by the full re-install
advocated by Adobe in the link you kindly provided. I therefore decided
to keep trying for a couple of days before resorting to such a drastic
solution.
After several failures to get CSXS Infrastructure 4 to install, both via
the CC Desktop App and from the "Help" menu within Photoshop CC, I had
one more try this morning and this time it seems to have installed
without a hitch. I have no idea why, as I have made no system changes,
but for now I do seem to have solved the problem as my installation of
Photoshop CC is now reporting that it is fully up to date.
Thanks for your response.

Help with Disk Utility Report

Hi there.I recently had to replace my hard disk due to failure.I had posted then at the time of failure looking for some help and I got some.Cool....But there seems to be a new problem.Just the other day I got a software update reminder pop up.So I clicked on install..It updated with new Java and a few other things.The last time I did an update I had a suspicion it had something to do with Java crashing my disk.Low and behold I did a disk repair tonight and Im looking at very similar errors again that I saw just before the last hard disk failure.These errors only appeared with the first hard disk after I updated Java and the same again after this update..Co-incidence?
Can some one translate these for me please.And also advise on what to do to correct it if it is cause for more concern.Thank You.
Ps.If this is on the way to failure again Im not buying a new hard disk.No way.Im sorry.If theres a connection between the hard-disk failure this and last time its up to Apple.
Thanks in advance.

Need help with representing 2 bits of data in a column

I Need help representing only 2 bits of data in a column in order to save space.
Is that possible?

CommitMan wrote:

Is that possible?Yes - using Assembler....
If you need to count bits to save space, then you must be on 70's, or early 80's, hardware. So using Assembler should not be a problem. Let me guess.. a 8051 microcontroller from the 1980?
Here's what the 8051 code and memory optimisation manual says:
>
The simplest and best way to get dramatic improvements
in efficiency is to look for all variables that will have only
binary values (0 and not 0), and define them as type 'bit‘:
bit myVar;With bit variables, the full set of 8051 bit-level assembler
instructions can be used to generate very fast and
compact code. For example, the following C code:
myVar = ~myVar;
if (!myVar)
}Generates only two lines of assembler:
B200 CPL myVar
200006 JB myvar,?C0002This example uses only 5 flash bytes and 8 CPU cycles.
When you use bit variables, you can implement a
nontrivial line of C code with just one assembler
instruction.
>
<i>PS. Yes, the above is really from a manual for a real 80s microcontroller. And yes, I'm poking fun at your question as saving bits were a problem in the 80s and prior. It should not be a problem in the 21st century information system and database.</i>

Hard disk failure or boot data corrupted?

Since a normal attempt to restart system it cant find OSX system - flashing '?'. Since then volume does not show at all in System preferences Startup,Disk Utility when rebooting from Install DVD or TechTool Pro 5 . There is only the one partition set up.
I've reinstalled 10.6.7 on external HD to get a working system.
I've read a lot about the problems if the boot information may have been somehow corrupted, and apparent methods of restoring that - reFit,GRUB etc but my limited knowledge or confidence of Terminal commands doesn't encourage me to pursue that without a lot of help.
The basic question is do I just assume my HD is a 'goner' or is there a way to try and get the system to boot from it?
(Visiting an Apple reseller is a last resort - living in Switzerland - likely expensive and technical chat in French not my strongest language!)

If your MacBook Pro is only 8 months old, it should be under warranty. If possible, I'd take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized repair facility and have them check it. You can also consider extending the warranty by buying Apple Care.

Help with Disk Utility

I have a removable usb flash drive that I've been using for a while. Occasionally I need to erase it with disk utility to remove all of the past information it has held. This time around though the drive doesn't seem to be created (I'm not sure if I'm saying that the right way or not).
I've included a photo here:
http://northeasternxposure.com/help/drive.png
Normally there is the "983.0 MB VBTM . . ." drive with the "UNTITLED" one below it. As you can see the "UNTITLED" drive doesn't look like a drive, but has the icon of a document. And at the bottom it shows the capacity, yet none of it is available. This is why it won't mount. I've tried to redo it multiple times with no luck. Hopefully someone knows a setting or something that I should change to repair this problem.

I went into Finder and it could still see the drive, yet not access it for some reason. So what I did was log out and then back in and everything was working fine again. I've got no idea why that problem had occurred, but thanks for the quick responses.
And I always do remember to mark helpful and solved. Thanks!

Help with Scripting forms when additional characters added

Hi,
I am new to scripting in adobe professional, I thank anyone in advance for any advice or help they can give me.
I am trying to use the calcuations within the forms that I am putting fields onto. In the process I discovered that the program the forms are within are attaching a pipe and additional characters after the actual name that I have named them. So, I am not able to use even the simple calculations within adobe to "sum" fields.   For example: I named the field "1_1Text" and this is what displays when you go into the calculations and pick the fields you want. But the actual name is "1_1Text|1234567" so the calculations will not work.
I take it then I need to use the advanced scripting but I am unsure of the format for a routine such as this. I have a little knowledge of javascript but it has been awhile. There must be a scan to find the pipe and then you should be able to chop off the extra characters since I will never know the characters the program adds on so then I can do calculations on these fields. Then you would have to put them into an array or something to save them?   Any help with a script or hints would surely be appreciated.
Thanks!

Could explain more fully how you are creating your forms and what programs you are using from the creation of the base document to which program and how you are adding fields.
I think you are misunderstanding me.   I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0. I can get the calculations to work correctly if I use the form as it is after creating it.
But these forms are put into an SQL database and they get selected within a VB.net program or ASP.net program (both are used). So these programs (VB.net or ASP.net) are adding the extra characters at the end, hence I do not know the names of the fields when the forms are being filled in. So the calculations do not work with the "original names" that I created for the fields.
I just figured if I created a routine that looped through and chopped off the extra characters these programs put on the end I would be able to do the calcuations and they would work. I believe there is a substring operation within javascript.
