I have a unexpected error code -50. I can't make any more changes to a newly MacOS (journaled) formatted Calvary External hard drive.

I added files already, now I can't even make a new folder. I had time machine backing it up, then I excluded the hard drive. I do have Media encoder that's reading files from it currently, but that shouldn't be the issue. So confused. This error code is nowhere on the internet...

Your post is a little confusing, please describe when you see the error. If it's while you are running Time Machine then please look over Pondini's Time Machine Troubleshooting & Time Machine FAQs.

    I have a Macbook pro 13" A1278. I purchased it around december 2010. I have a HHD 3.5" drive desktop select II 1.5TB. I purchased it around Febuary/March 2011 to use with my Macbook pro. I formatted it and moved all my files to there, I got it so my macbook's hard drive wouldn't brake and I lose everything on my macbook.
    Is there any fixes?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    I have an iMac purchased in May 2011.  OSX Lion 10.7.3.  I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
    Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
    The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi". 
    It will not delete.
    How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it?  I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

    Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it?  I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

    It would be much better if you had separate drives for the pictures and Time Machine backups.....but, if you want to use the same drive for both purposes, temporarily move the folder with the pictures to another location for safe storage.
    Run the Time Machine backup on the hard drive and verify that everything is working correctly. Time Machine will format the disk for you in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as part of the backup process.
    Then move the folder with the pictures back to the hard drive with the Time Machine backups.
    When you have tested to make sure that everything is working again, then and only then should you delete the folder with pictures from the temporary storage area.
    Again....it would be much better to keep Time Machine backups on a drive just for that purpose, and other data on another drive for that purpose. This is clearly one of those times when the fact that you can do something does not mean to imply that you should do it.

  • If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

    If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

    As others have said, the answer to your question is a big YES.  Formatting a drive will delete everything!
    To keep your data, yet reformat the drive for optimal Mac compatibility, you will need to:
    1) copy your files to a different hard drive (I would recommend two different locations if you value your data)
    2) repartition/format the external drive
    3) then copy the files back to the external.
    You haven't given details but if you need the external to ONLY be compatible with the Mac (and no longer care if if can be read by Windows), then you will want to partition the drive using the GUID partition scheme, and format as the (HFS+) "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" filesystem.  You can do so using the built-in "Disk Utility" application on your Mac (in the Applications/Utilities directory).  Here are instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5845
    If you need the drive to be compatible with both Mac and Windows computers then please post that so someone can recommend a solution for your specific needs.

  • HT201318 I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.

    I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.  I've sent my maximum.  I was prepared to upgrade, but apparently I'm at the maximum of 50 GB.  Any suggestions?

    It's nothing to do with your storage levels: there are limits placed on the numbers of emails you can send.
    I quote:
    iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
    The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
    The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
    The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
    The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
    iCloud email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through iCloud email servers is prohibited. To review the iCloud membership agreement and acceptable use policy, please see the iCloud Terms and Conditions.
    If you have reached these limits you will have to wait until tomorrow.

  • Hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    This is a problem with the Mac OS X implementation of exFAT. I've had the same problem.
    Best is to use a Windows box to format the drive exFAT. Then it can be read by both Windows and Mac OS.
    But aren't Macs supposed to "Just Work"? Not in this case.

  • I want to backup my photos to a WD My Passport, and also have a PC in the house. Is it okay to format the external hard drive to FAT 32?

    Want to back up/save my photos to an external hard drive both for safety and for portability. I use an iMac, but everyone else in the family uses PC, so ideally I'd like to be able to use the drive on both systems. I have been looking online and it looks like FAT32 may be the answer. As I'm sure you can tell I am new to all this and just wanted to check that formatting the My Passport to this format will be agreeable to the Apple operating system. I have an iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 5, if this makes any difference.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Alex

    I would use a FAT 32 filesystem only for files you will be sharing with Windows.  It is an old, feature-poor filesystem.  Of course that excludes any application files that are not Windows compatible (including Time Machine...).  You should not think of it as a backup drive.
    I would backup all the files on your internal drive onto a separate drive using Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is easier an safer to backup everthing. Also, maintining more than one backup is prudent so have at least two backup disks.  See this thread for more extensive backup advice.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5377719?tstart=480
    Disks are inexpensive. Losing your data is not.
    For FAT32 characteristics see: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm

  • I recently got my long desired MAC, after my laptop crashed.  Is there anyway to get all of the music that I have already invested in, in iTunes, on my new Mac?  I thought that it had been saved to an external hard drive, but there were only photographs.

    I recently got my long desired MAC, after a laptop died over a year ago.  Isn't there someway to get all of the music and movies that I've already invested in, off of iTunes?  Don't they have a record of my purchases, that could be downloaded to this new computer?  I thought I had it on an external hard drive, after a friend tried to save my itunes and photographs, but there are only photographs on the hard drive.....  Any help would be most appreciated!  Thanks!

  • Have I formated my External Hard drive wrong? Can't get to my iPhoto library.

    Hello,
    I have recently rebooted my old iMac 2008, and am attempting to start using it again fro photo editing with iPhoto and Aperture. My photos are on an external Harddrive called MY BOOK. The problem is that neither iPhoto nor Aperture recognices the photo library on my EHD any longer. When I try to open iPhoto with the old library from the EHD, I can see the "package" there, but cannot highlight it.
    When I started using the EHD about a year ago, I was recommended to reformat it to Mac OS Extended, which I did. But now, when I look at the EHD in diskutility, I see the hard drive on 2 lines. The top line states:
    3 TB WD My book 1130... and format: Mac OS Extended
    The lower line says:
    MY BOOK and format: MS-DOS (FAT)
    And when I have a look under the info tab in Finder, it says MS-DOS (FAT32)
    I suspect I must have done it wrong when I did the original partitioning.... but I was able to use the library from the harddrive, so wasn't aware of the problem.
    How am I going about to correct my problem, so that I can read my picture-library again?
    I am using OS X 10.8.5
    I have posted this question in the iPhoto forum, but was told that this probably is an OS X problem... can you help?

    If you see a message about rebuilding your thumbnail cache
    Over time, iPhoto can become less efficient at accessing the photos in your library. Rebuilding the cache can help iPhoto display your photos faster, and can also resolve issues such as thumbnails that appear to be dimmed or missing.
    After upgrading iPhoto, you might see a message asking if you want to rebuild your thumbnail cache. You can choose whether to do it then or come back to it later.
    Important:  You should back up your iPhoto library before rebuilding your thumbnail cache.
    Hide
    To rebuild your thumbnail cache:
    If iPhoto is open, quit it.
    Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).The Rebuild Photo Library window opens.
    Select at least these two checkboxes:
    Rebuild the photos’ small thumbnails: This option rebuilds only the small versions of the thumbnails, such as those that appear in the photo browser when you are creating a book or slideshow.
    Rebuild all of the photos’ thumbnails: This option rebuilds all the thumbnails associated with a photo, including the small ones and the thumbnails that appear in a photo album or an Event.
    For information about the remaining checkboxes, visit the iPhoto Support websiteand search for “rebuilding the iPhoto library.”
    Click Rebuild.Rebuilding the thumbnail cache may take several minutes.

  • So apparently I can't get ios7 on my ipod. So I can no longer get podcasts? Because to download the app to get podcasts it says you need ios7. I already have podcasts on my ipod. I can't get any more?

    I pretty much typed it all above.

    This should work:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
