HT3986 I'm having trouble partitioning my hard drive, I'm attempting to do this from the recovery drive because it's more convenient. But when it gets about halfway through the process, there's an error message saying that it's having trouble unmounting
Just realized that the title was limited anyways, I'm in the recovery drive on my macbook pro, trying to partition my macbook with another user (not windows, just another user) with only like 10GB. It goes fine until it's about halfway done with the process, where it freaks out and tells me that it can't unmount the harddrive. Any suggestions?
Hi, BDAqua,
Nice to hear from you. You helped me with another recent question. Thank you.
The external case is Other World Computing's Mercury Elite Pro with Oxford chip set. Drive is an Hitachi deskstar 500 Gigabyte disk (I'll dig around for exact specs, if needed).
Weird thing is that the drive (partitioned into two disks, one boot, one for files) shows up in the Finder and in Disk Utility, but not in System Profiler. It's not visible at all there (not under Firewire, by which method it is connected, nor anywhere else). I can access its files, though, via Finder.
Very strange.

My itunes and Ipod software are both the current version, doesn't seem to change anything. It works perfectly until there's around 3 GB loaded on it, then there is an error message saying that it couldn't sync because of an unknown error.
Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?
Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards. -
I am trying to set up a new iphone to my old iphone's settings. When i have tried to back it up it displays a error message saying that it cannot back up because the back up was not saved. Anyone have any ideas?

When I was updating my IPAD, I downloaded the latest Itunes version and then updated my IPAD. When it came to backing up my IPAD, I received an error saying it could not be backed up because an error had occurred. It told me to disconnect and try again. I did this three times and it still will not work. What else can I do?
You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

When I downloaded (on PC) the new 5 it crashed my iPad 2. I worked for two days to get it to stop the malfuction, went to the apple store for four hours, iPad crashed again, got a new one, new iPad crashed when I tried to restore my back up. Down loaded iTunes to an employees computer, I was able to restore iPad to factory settings but my itunes account is on my office computer and now I am afraid to plug it into my computer. I did delete the back up as maybe that is currupt and making it crash??? Any body know about this?
This is Linda again. The new iPad actually as not restored on my employees computer. I thought it was working. Message said the device is in recovery mode and can not be restored. I have been at the Apple store for a total of 6 hours and on the phone with support for at least 4 hours. And now the replacement has crashed??? Has this happened to any one else?

I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages. My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network. -

i am having problems with Olympus .orf which cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas? minzen
That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.

HT1766 Icloud error message saying that there's no backup available to restore from.
I have just backed up my iphone 4 using icloud. It's showing that the backup was completed, 3.5gb total. Now I'm trying to restore this icloud backup on my new iphone 4s and an error message saying that there's no icloud backup appears. What' wrong? Thanks in advance!
It was an issue with the system version as long as my old iphone had the 5.1.1 already, so I updated the new one (which came with the 5.0 version), and did a factory reset selecting to use the icloud backup.

Today, after having published my website without difficulty for years, I got an error message saying that the file format was unrocognized. Anyone have any suggestions.
You need to give some more info.
How are you publishing your site - iWeb FTP or another application? If the latter, is the encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8)?
Who is giving you this message - the server? -
