  • How to fix errors when trying to erase an old external drive?

    I have an external drive I used to use on my windows machine, which I wanted to erase and start using on my mac.
    When I plugged it in to my windows laptop, the drive was there and I could access files.
    I plugged it into my iMac and again I could see the drive and the files.
    I went to disk utility and tried to use the erase feature.  I got some errors and retried.  The last error was 'file system formatter failed'.
    Now the drive appears to be invisible on both the mac and the windows laptop!  Is there anything I can do?

    I agree with dianeoforegon the drive sounds like it is dead or dying, to be more specific it sounds like it is suffering from 'bit rot'.
    You could try going to the partition tab in Disk Utility and making sure it is on GUID and not MBR or APM, then set it to a single partition and try to format it. Also you could try the security option in the erase tab to force it to write to each block as a test. The lowest level is to do no security erase but the next level up will make it write once to each block, this will be sufficient to make it test each block.
    Disk formatting utilities are supposed to be able to detect bad blocks during formatting and to mark them bad and to use 'spare' blocks. Unfortunately Apple's Disk Utility seems to be totally useless at doing that. Even if you have a tool which can do this it is not wise to trust a drive with lots of bad blocks (a handful might be ok) as a large number is a sign the problem is spreading hence the term 'bit rot'.
    The only tool for Mac I have seen which even attempts to map out bad blocks is Scannerz from SCSC.

  • Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

    You need to provide more information such as when you are getting this error and the exact error message.
    However, when getting any errors first thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Air installed. That almost always fixes it.

    Hey there fcaride,
    It sounds like you are unable to finish restoring with iTunes due to this error -1 message. Usually that is associated with security software. Use the steps from the following article to help with that:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    If the issue persists, I would next use the last section of the following article titled "If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up"
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How to fix error 29

    i want to know how to fix error twenty nine

    Howdy KendelGilbert,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync your phone with iTunes and are getting an error code 29. I found this article for you that should help you troubleshoot that error, and explains a bit about what can cause it to occur named:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error29
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
