HT3662 how to check flash drive for viruses

How to chech any flash drive for virusses on imac or mac book pro? . Thanks to anyone.

Thanks for your reply. I can only answer in the most general of terms. I intend to use Setup Assistant to move files to the new mac and realize that that procedure will indescriminately move files from my current iMac to the new one. While the old Mac has no obvious major prolems, it does ocasionally crash or minorly "misbehave", and I thought I could obviate carrying over such problems to the new Mac. I have used Disk Utility to verify the hard drive and to repair permissions and wondered if there is something analogous I could do regarding the myriad other files.

How Do You Test a Flash Drive for Errors Using OS X?

HI. In Windows there are Flash Drive tester that tests if there's something wrong with the Flash drive's chips. How do you test a flash drive for errors on OS X? I bought the HP v220w which is tiny for a 16GB and it's metal. The whole thing goes into the plug. Design wise, it is great, it's very elegant like a jewelry. Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Format it for OS X and run a surface scan on the partition. That should show any hardware problems that don't keep it from working altogether.

Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
Thanks for any suggestions and help

I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
http://www.intego.com
Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.

Nearly six months after Apple added a malware blocker to Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), the feature appears to be collecting cobwebs.
Apple has not added any anti-malware signature updates to the XProtect.plist file that launched with antidotes for OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX.Iservice, two known Trojan horse programs targeting Mac OS X users.

Create bootable flash drive for Windows 8 in Boot Camp

I am running a Windows 8-based marine navigation program ("Coastal Explorer") in Boot Camp, on MacBook Air. I would like to create a bootable flash drive for emergencies. Should it have Maverick or Windows 8 OS? - or do I partition the key drive for both, with the Windows partition also containing a copy of the navigation software and maps for extra insurance? I guess the first question is, "Is this possible?" Then I would need to find information on how to create such a drive. All advice appreciated.

Windows drivers and Mac drivers have nothing to do with each other. So that's a no on your question.

Can I use more than one flash-drive for ready-boost on Satellite L650/0ed

Hi,
I have a toshiba Satellite L650/0ed, is it alright if i use more than one 8gb flash-drive for 'ready boost' - what is the maximum number of flash-drives use can dedicate to 'ready-boost'.
In addition, if i use a 16gb flash-drive, will this dedicate more memory to 'ready-boost'.
Why is the seagate 1tb 3.5 expansion drive not compatible for ready-boost.
Thank you,
-Brent907

Hi mate
Please check this Microsoft page which describes the ReadyBosst
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/readyboost
There you can find this statement:
+ReadyBoost works with most flash storage devices. In Windows 7, it can handle more flash memory and even multiple devices *up to eight* , for a maximum 256 gigabytes (GB) of additional memory.+
Hopefully this can be helpful!

best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?

format flash drive in Exfat for transferring files between Mac and Pc.
FORMAT TYPES
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.

You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64)
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details.

I'm not sure what you mean by, 'How to check with table for cursor..?' but I'll offer a comment on your Code Snippet. I think you want to know how to check if a record exists so you know if you need to perform an INSERT or an UPDATE.
Here is a snippet of your code. I'll put my comments in "Comment" style in your code.
-- Insert / Update final profit plan for final_update query using cursor
   FOR rec_final_update_el IN cur_final_update_el
   LOOP
/* There is no need to test for %NOTFOUND since you are using Cursor FOR Loop!
** This construct automatically exits when the last record is processed. */
   EXIT WHEN rec_final_update_el%NOTFOUND;
/* Is this where you would like to know how to Check if the record already exist??
** I asked this because, 'rec_final_update_el.' is not valid syntax. Are you looking for
** an Cursor Attribute or Method you can check here?
** I would suggest a Primary Key or Unique Index on ENT, CENTER, and POST_ACCT
** on the TEMP_FINAL_PLAN table. Then simply perform an INSERT and code an
** Exception to UPDATE when you get a DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX exception. Otherwise,
** you will need to simply run an Implicit or Explicit Cursor to test if the row exists and
** use this return value to determine if you should INSERT or UPDATE. */
   IF rec_final_update_el. THEN
      UPDATE temp_final_plan
         SET sum_avg_mtd_01 = rec_final_update_el.sum_avg_mtd_01,
             sum_avg_mtd_02 = rec_final_update_el.sum_avg_mtd_02,

Artwork doesn't transfer to my Kingston flash drive for use in my car.

I am transferring songs to my Kingston flash drive for use in my car. When I copy them from my folder and drop them in the flash drive the album artwork doesn't transfer. I deleted the artwork from the songs of 1 CD, saved a jpg to my desktop and added to each individual song which works but would be crazy to do for all of the songs. I am running ITunes 11.05.
I've looked in the communities but couldn't find anything about this. Is there a way to revert back to ITunes 10?

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson
