IChat opens when hooked up to external HDD

When I hook up my MBP to a 1TB LaCie external hard disk, iChat opens of its own accord. It was not like this before. Why?

Open the iChat preferences, choose the Audio/Video tab, and turn off the option to automatically open iChat.

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

Itunes wont open after windows renamed the external HDD's name

My computer renamed my external HDD's letter designation from F: to G: and iTunes would not open anymore, it would say the itunes folder cannot be found or created and it is required, the original folder should be located within "my music" folder.
I tried everything including reinstalling itunes many time but it would not work, i even tried to delete the whole itunes folder and imported my roomate's itunes folder on my computer and itunes still would not open.
I tried to use windows power toy program to change the special folder address, but the folder "my music" is missing from the list while everything else is on there.
Some help would be greatly appreciated

Well you did far more work and possibly screwed up your pc for an easy fix. You can change the drive letter through the utility called "Computer Management"
If you open windows exploder, you should see a "My Computer" listed in the left window. Rt click on that and select Manage from the context menu. In the left window you should see Disk Management. Here is the list of all drives and their letters. You know unless you added a drive that was already designated F then windows shouldn't rename drive letters without you manually changing it.
When you say you deleted the whole itunes folder what do you mean? Did you delete C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music? If you cant recreate this folder, then my suggestion would be to use TweakUI to reset the My music folder in the windows OS.

Input/output error when attempting to restore external HDD?

I have an old 1TB external HDD that corrupted a while ago, the drive still mounts and i can still see the files inside the drive, unfortunately opening the drive up crashes finder. As i have another 2TB external drive, my next idea was to create a second partition in my 2TB drive and then restore the old 1TB drive into the second partition of the 2TB drive using the disk utility. After a few minutes it comes up with the error message INPUT/OUTPUT error and then stops restoring it.
Any ideas folks as to where to go from here? what the problem might be? or what to try next?
many thanks
Ali

Ali,
your external 1 TB HDD might have a hardware fault which is preventing access to its files. Have you tried running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect a hardware-related problem with your external 1 TB HDD?

IPhoto crashes on opening after moving library to external HDD

Hi
After filling my ibook up with phots to the point of bursting, I decided to buy an external harddrive and store the iPhoto library on it. This all seemed to work fine until I opened iPhoto (for the second time) and started importing photos from my camera. It kicked me out of iPhoto and now it will not reopen.
I have read all the advice on here and have followed the guidance. I have run the permissions programme, downloaded the library manager and run a rebuild. Everything.
I have put a copy of the backup onto the extrenal HDD and this opened fine the first time but not the second. I can get it to open by taking the library.photo from the backup and putting it in the library folders in the external HDD and this allows iPhoto to open for about 5 seconds before kicking me out. Next time I try and open it, I get kicked out immediately.
I had thought that the HDD might be read only but I changing that has made no difference, although I have my suspicions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Lauchlan

Well first off, don't import an old library into a new one. You'll get massive duplication of photos as all the versions are treated a new photos. It's a mess.
What you need to do is recover your Original pics from the old library and put them into the new one.
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
So, find the old library on the HD and right-click on it. From the resulting menu choose 'Show Package Contents' and a finder window will open with the library exposed. You'll see the Originals folder. Drag it out and the from it drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
I think it unlikely that a permissions issue is the cause of the crashing, but it might be some damaged jpeg files. See how you get on with the above.

Time Capsule Crashing When Trying to Access External HDD

Hi, I have a MBP and an iMac backing up successfully to a 1TB Time Capsule. I recently bought a 1 TB WD My Book external HDD which I attached to the USB port of the Time Capsule to archive all my digital media so that the TC could be used exclusively for backups.
The external HDD showed up under Airport Utility as well as as a partition under Time Capsule in the finder. The problem is whenever I tried to access the HDD it would freeze and crash the Time capsule which needed to be rebooted and restarted to work again. The funny thing is that on occasion I actually got the disk to work and I copied a few files across but within like a couple of minutes the Time Capsule hung and I got messaged that the file server in the Time Capsule and the External HDD was disconnected. Reconnection was only possible by powering off and restarting.
Any suggestions? Much appreciated.

I have the same problem.
My Setup:
Time Capsule 500 GB
15" MBP 1.83 GHz
WD 250 GB USB Drive (Powered)
I run Time Machine backups to TC. This works without any problems and very quick I might add.
My problem is when I try to copy files to and from the External USB Drive to my MBP. The files will start to copy, then I lose the connection to the USB drive and the TC (no Internet connection as well).
To get the TC to work again, I need to power it down and power it back up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Project will not open when saved to an external hard-drive

Hi,
Well, as the title says, I cannot reopen a project when saved to an external hard-drive, it will however do so when I save to a local drive... Not good if you wanna work around several workstations, any ideas as to why?
Thanks,
Phil.

Are you using Final Cut Pro?
You should be asking on that forum. It would be beneficial if you provided some concrete information, what computer, what drives, how are they formatted, how are they connected, what exactly happens when you try to open it?

ITunes freezes when locating video on externa HDD, and Finder dies together

To save my Mac's hard disk space, I move all of my iTunes videos to an external hard disk. As a result, iTunes won't be able to locate the files and will prompt me to locate them. No issue there.
In the file dialog box (set to column view), I can navigate to the folder containing the videos. But as soon as that folder is open, the dreaded spinning beachball appears and iTunes becomes unresponsive. Originally, I thought that it's because it's trying to load the video thumbnail, but after leaving iTunes alone for hours with no result, I can only conclude that it's simply crapped out.
Force-quitting iTunes restores some sanity. But this problem also locks up my hard disk. I can't eject it as normal, and Finder's Force Eject just produces another spinning beachball.
If I unplug my hard disk without ejecting, Finder gives its standard warning that I shouldn't have done that. But the external hard disk icon still shows in Finder. Force-quitting Finder won't restart Finder, in fact, it gives another error (an error code is provided, but I don't recall what it is now).
The only solution then is to restart my Mac.
What's the problem with iTunes?

Slightly different but related problem here. I have all my music, audiobooks and videos/movies/TV shows in an iTunes folder on an external hard disk, which I've pointed iTunes at. Anything imported is automatically stored there. I've just discovered that clicking on the "Music Videos" smart playlist crashes iTunes and locks up the machine completely, so completely that the keyboard command for Force Quit won't work and the only solution to get the computer back is to force a shut down by holding the power button down (This is on the iMac). However, I can play all the content in that smart playlist if I find it through the main library, or the TV Shows/Movies parts of the library. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Weird Error When Verifying External HDDs

Hello
I'm getting a weird error when verifying my 2 external HDDs. Both give me an "invalid leaf record count" error. But only when I check them with the OSX install cd. If I check them in my user account, they come up OK. Both drives also gave me a "reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data" error. Disk Utility was able to fix that error, but not the invalid leaf error. I have tried multiple repairs, but DU says the volume cannot be repaired. The other weird thing is when I ran the first repair, it said 1 HFS Volume Repaired and 1 Volume could not be repaired. I have also tried using Disk Warrior, but it gives a "this volume appears to be formatted with a newer version of the OS" error.
Both these drives I had plugged into my mom's iMac (running 10.5--my eMac is running 10.3.9) because I had firewire problems back in June. Did 10.5 modify something that has 10.3 mixed up?
Is there something I can do to fix this or do I need to do another re-install?

OS X 10.5 does add additional attributes bits to the file descriptors, so using the drive under 10.5 would be expected to add those additional bits to at least the disk directory plus any modified files.
When you then check the drives using utilities created prior to OS X 10.5, those older utilities don't understand the additional bits and report then as errors (DU), of the utilities check first and refuse to run if the disk is tagged as from a latter OS version (DW).
There's a generic warning about mixing older utilities with newer OS versions in Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes.
I'd be ready to shrug the error reports off as spurious; however, that DU "corrected" the reserved bits suggests the drive directories will be rewritten again should you again move the drives to a 10.5 computer. Are you seeing any actual problems wiuth reading or writing to the external drives? If not, write it off to 10.5 settings bits that earlier versions ignore; it shouldn't affect your data.

Bad clicking popping sound when macbook plugged into external speakers

I have a black MacBook Core Duo, a white Macbook Core 2 Duo, and a Macbook Pro Core Duo that are suddenly ALL exhibiting horrible behavior when plugged into external speakers using the 1/8th inch headphone output converted to RCA to connect to the speakers.
I have always known that sometime in the last year or 2, one of the OS updates introduced a popping noise when the audio system has been idle and then suddenly fires a sound again after being quiet for a while.
But now all 3 of these machines, all running 10.6.7 with all current available software updates are exhibiting a clicking / popping /crackling sound almost CONSTANTLY when hooked up to the same set of speakers I've had for years. I tested with other speakers just to make sure the noise is still there.
Every time someone goes on or offline in my ichat buddy list, the crackling noise that accompanies the typical buddy available/unavailable sound is extremely irritating.
Every time I hit the volume up or down button I hear the awful noise alone with the volume feedback sound. If I keep hitting volume up or down FAST repeatedly, the sound goes away. But the moment I stop doing anything for even 1-2 seconds, and then touch the volume up/down buttons again, the cracking sound returns.
I have no idea what software update introduced this problem or what the heck is going on. I have booted these machines from external drives with a fresh install of 10.6.7. I've tried 10.5.8. Nothing works.
It's like some kind of firmware has permanently screwed up the 1/8th inch output on all of these machines when hooked up to external speakers. And these are all completely different model laptops
I do not hear the noise through these laptops' internal speakers, or if I plug headphones directly into their headphone jacks.
I have had to install an M-Audio USB Micro onto my main laptop to use it's 1/8th inch stereo out to connect to my speakers in order to eliminate this horrible noise. But this should NOT be necessary and I am not satisfied with this fix as a permanent solution.
I'm astonished to find this problem on ALL THREE of these different laptops suddenly.
The Anti Pop program did not alleviate the problem. Please help. Apple please issue software fixes to get rid of these problems once and for all.

Airport Extreme External HDD (Windows 7)

I just got the airport extreme and have been trying to hook up my external HDD to it in windows but cant find it.
Homegroup is set up and have tinkered on the included airport software so far to no avail.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

Airport Extreme does not support NTFS formatted disks. Acting as a NAS only HFS+ and FAT32 are supported
For that you have to use FAT32 with all limitations of that format or to learn Win7 to speak HFS+
For instance with Paragon's HFS for Windows ( http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/ )

System does not recognize the external HDD ALU2, 2TB silver

Hi,
When I connect my external HDD by USB to my laptop the HDD starts making a beeping sound and isn't recognized as a hard drive by the operating system (windows 7).
It worked well in the last year.
The Disk is still inside warranty but I now live in a different country and going to another country just to claim warranty will be the last resort.
Has anyone any idea of what I can do to overcome this problem?
It beeps 22 times and then stops (I would actually describe it as beeping 11 times each time with two beeps)
Thanks
Best Regards
Carlos

Hi
Did you test this external HDD in connection with other computers?
Does the beeping sound come from the HDD or the notebook?
If the HDD cannot be recognized using other computers, I would assume that the HDD malfunctions. Maybe a head crash or something like that
You could also start the built-in disk manager of Windows 7 to check if the external HDD would appear there. Click on Start and enter diskmgmt.msc into the search field to start the disk management.

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with Finder when I have my external HDD plugged in. When trying to delete files and empty the trash, nothing happens because the dialogue box which usually appears to confirm the delete is not appearing. When I pull the HDD out the dialogue appears...
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance.

Has been temporarily solved by creating a new user account but still do not know why this is happening?
