I am using an iMac and i am selling it tomorrow. So i am trying to back up all my files on my transcend external HD 500GB. I am not able to create a folder in the transcend and also even if I try to copy a file in the transcend folder. It just wont happen. Please help !!
My transcend HD is on read only mode I guess. What to do? I dont have a windows computer to check and I need to create the back up right now..

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like the external disk is formatted in NTFS, a format that OS X can't write in. The solution is to format the external drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" (if you are going to get a Mac), or "MS-DOS (FAT)" (if you are going to get a PC) as Format in Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Then, you will be able to copy the files you need to the external drive. Note that "MS-DOS (FAT)" doesn't support files bigger than 4 GB.

    I have a ipad air and i don´t have the icon of the airplay. I don´t have an apple tv but i want use an app to play the screen of the ipan on pc. I already try but definitely i only have the airdrop icon.

    The AirPlay feature is only available whe you have an Apple Tv. You can mirror the display form your iPad if the iPad and Apple Tv are both connected to the same WPA (or the same Wi-Fi). Air Drop is a way of sharing files, such as pictures, PDFs, and text documents. Hope this helps.

    I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Not able to create a universe when using nav. att. 0MATL_TYPE in the query

    Dear experts,
    A few days ago I posted a message in the BO General Category due to this error and I was adviced to install SP19 in BW (3.5). We've allready installed it but the issue is still arising. I am posting this thread now in this category since maybe the other category was too general and this one a little bit more specified.
    The error we are having is the following:
    We are having an issue when trying to create a universe over a BEx query which uses navigational attribute 0MATL_TYPE of 0MATERIAL (0MATERIAL__0MATL_TYPE).
    No matter where do we insert this nav. attribute in the query (lines, columns, free characteristics...) that we are not able to create the universe. We receive a message when trying to create it such as "error without message"
    We have other navigational attributes from several characteristics which are not giving us any problems in universes, just nav attributes 0MATL_TYPE and a Z characteristic (ZMATPR) which is the same as 0MATL_TYPE (it is defined the same way, not related).
    We are working with:
    BW 3.5 - SP19, BEx 3.x
    BOBJ XI 3.0 (without service pack or fix pack)
    Does any one have any clue on what could be the reason for this issue??
    Thanks in advance for your interest!
    Best regards!!!!
    Cecilia

    Hello Ingo,
    First of all thanks for your help, since we are really concerned about this issue.
    We have been analysing the file you have talked us about. The thing is that a week and a half ago we had to write an OSS message to SAP concerning another issue, and we were recommended to install note 1260004 which involves editing the registry in order to show SOFA logs, and if we have understood correcty, the file you have given us modifies as well the server registry in order to show sofa logs.
    Does the file you have given us includes new information in the SOFA logs, what is the difference between what we have changed with the SAP note and what you have given us?
    Nevertheless, we have retrieved two logs from two executions (having navigational attribute 0MATL_TYPE in the query from which we want to create the universe) in case you could help us to interpret the informations given since we are not able to understand it. (You can seen them below my signature.....haven't find a way to attach files....sorry....)
    Thank's very much in advance for your help!!!! This is so disconcerting.......
    Best regards!
    No way , I cannot copy the logs since the message format is destroyed when I copy it..... If you need it please inform me and we will send it to you!
    Thanks again for the help!!!

  • Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?

    Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?
    If so please explain. I am successfully able to dynamically add columns using the getChildren method of the htmldatatable object
    BUT for each new column created no data is displayed.
    I am only able to display data for columns originally created when i clicked and dragged the dataTable icon from the pallette in netbeans visual web kit.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have been searching the web and these forums for around 8 hours and no one seems to have a working example of this. Lots of similar posts asking how to do it though :(
    Thanks in advance.

    Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks on my MacBook, I'm not able to download third party applications like Dropbox and MyCleanMac 2.  After clicking the download button, the screen just turns dark and is frozen.  Any idea what is happening?

    After upgrading to Mavericks on my MacBook, I'm not able to download third party applications like Dropbox and MyCleanMac 2.  After clicking the download button, the screen just turns dark and is frozen.  Any idea what is happening?

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
    This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

    The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

    It doesn't matter what I do I still get the plugin to crash. I've removed every trace of Internet Explorer in the registry. Download fresh versions of Mozilla and Silverlight. I uninstalled both of them and cleaned any lingering files. Reinstalled Mozilla, and Silverlight. Same error. No more movies for me. :>/ See entry below.

    Hi V_K04,
    You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
    Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites. 
    Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
    Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
    Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.
