I am having problems with my 1TB Hitachi hard disk

I recently bought a 1TB hard drive. I formatted is as an Mac OS extended (Journaled). Now when I try to put files into the hard disk, I consistently get the error: The operation can’t be completed because the item “ " is in use.
I have several other hard drives which do not give me any problems.
Please help!
maestronacogdoches

this may sound like a lot of work, but can you please take a picture step by step(or screen recoding with quicktime player (comes on a mac) and make a video) of each step from opening the hard drive in finder to draging and droping etc.. you can upload to youtube.   Im confused why you would get that.

  • Trouble with Lacie 1TB external hard disk

    Recently got a Lacie 1TB external hard disk.  Need to get as close to 1TB actual capacity as I can.
    Used cfdisk to create a single Linux partition, and thought I tried to "maximize" the size.
    Used mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 to create the file system. 
    Tried to mount the disk.   The first go around apparently failed (dmesg said there was no journal).
    I repeated all of the above and the second time it mounted, but "df -h" reports:
    /dev/sdb1             925G  200M  878G   1% /mnt/external_1
    What the hell happened?
    Can someone please advise on how to fix this, and actually maximize the real available space?  Please include the exact utilities and flags you would recommend.
    thanks much.

    lucke,
    i know disks always have less capacity than the nominal size.  but a 1TB disk should have more than 900 MB available.  possibly as much as 980 MB.  that would be commensurate with my past experience using other external drives.  over 200 GB used off the bat is ridiculous, and i've never seen anything like that before.
    as a revised question to people out there, which fs would you recommend to get the most out of this disk.  it's going to have 900+ GB of files, each almost exactly 170 MB, and will be processed via the USB2 interface.

  • Having problems with my Macbook Air startup disk?

    I bought this laptop last spring and lately it's been giving me some problems.
    First of all, my startup disk is already full. I only use this as a home computer for schoolwork, photos, music, etc. Not sure if the reason it's full is because of pictures. Does anyone happen to know how many pictures you can out on a Macbook until it's maxed out?
    Also, when I try to update the software it tells me I need more storage space. So I tried to get into iPhoto to delete some pictures but it says I don't have permission to "write to photo library."
    I apologize if this is too general of a question but I figured I'd ask here before calling Apple for help.
    Thanks for any tips you can give me in advance!

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Having problem with Solaris LUN and New disk

    Hi All,
    I'm using Solaris server, SunOS 5.10 Generic_144488-08 sun4u sparc SUNW, SPARC-Enterprise.
    There is a newly created LUN of 250GB. I've scanned the system and able to see the new LUN.
    I've also checked the LUN size and it's confirmed having 250GB.
    However, when I tried to create a new file system (UFS) and mount it, I'm only able to get less than 100GB.
    What went wrong? Or did I miss out anything?
    Appreciate for any help / advises.
    Thanks a lot.

    Why was ufs choosen at all instead of zfs ?
    -> I've used newfs command to create a new file system and did not specify UFS, however, it's been assigned automatically.
    Appreciate for your advise.
    Thank you.

  • Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

  • HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

    We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals.  We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time.  Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while.  We  have tried everything we could think of with no avail.  I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same.  Done trying we need to fix this!  Help!  Any ideas?

    First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

    It sounds like you do not have an internet connection (wifi arcs in the upper left does not mean you have a connection) since Safari does not work also.. Try the following:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them

    Can any one please help me I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them. I have tried all restoring options but no use. please help me

    The mic on my iPhone4 has just quit also. Similar symptoms to yours in that people I'm talking to hear only static or my voice very faintly. The voice/memo recorder also only really records static.
    It happened suddenly and seemed to get better after a day or two but then went completely after another day.
    I'm returning it to Vodafone New Zealand shortly but will have to wait 5-10 days for a replacement. There are NO Apple accredited means to speed this procedure up in NZ.
    We don't even have a single physical Apple Store where you could walk in and talk to a Genius.

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
