IPod hard drive and ISO image files

Every time I try to copy an ISO image file to the hard drive partition of my iPod, Windows tells me that the destination is full. This is not true, since my iPod has 23.5 GB of space left. Does anyone know why this might be, or have any way around it?
EDIT: This has not been a problem with ISO images smaller than 1GB, just in case this is a factor in the solving of this problem.

Yes, it will. But if DU says the disk is unformatted then it is also not accessible. If you have files you don't wish to lose then you will need to try recovery software:
Basics of File Recovery
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Hard Drive and Disk Image not mounting

    Hey everyone,
    I'm running a G5 Dual 2Ghz. with OSX 10.5.8 I'm having problems with a back up hard drive. It is an external Western Digital My Book 1.5TB SATA drive. After using it for a few months, it suddenly did not mount anymore.
    *1) It also would not appear in Disk Utility.*
    a) Disk Warrior couldn't find the drive (I think because it's formatted with FAT32)
    *2) I then took the drive out of the enclosure and put it in the spare bay in the G5.*
    a) It didn't mount
    b) It did show up in Disk Utility
    c) In Disk Utility it wouldn't give me the option to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk
    d) In Disk Utility is says under Partition Scheme: Unformatted
    e) In Disk Utility I don't have the option to mount/eject only gives me the "info" option
    f) Tech Tool did find the drive and it passed all tests
    g) Disk Warrior still did not find the drive
    h) TestDisk finds the drive, but does not find any partitions
    *3) I then created a disk image of the drive in Disk Utility onto an external hard drive. The image comes back at 320GB, which seems to be about right I think.*
    a) The disk image would not mount with Disk Image Mounter. It would say there is an Unrecognized File System
    b) In Disk Utility - I don't have the option to Repair Disk Permissions
    c) In Disk Utility - When trying to Repair Disk - I get the error: Repairing Disk failed with error Unrecognized FileSystem
    d) In Disk Utility - If I click Open - The Log file says:
    +Attach Image+
    Initializing...
    Verifying...
    Finishing...
    +Image of "disk0.dmg" attached successfully+
    +Mount of "disk0.dmg" succeeded+
    -But it is no where to be found
    e) Disk Warrior can not find the Disk Image
    f) I took the new external drive with the Disk Image to 3 other mac computers but the image would not mount
    *4. Other things I've tried when opening the Disk Image for the new external drive.*
    a) in Terminal - hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
    b) in Terminal - sudo hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
    c) Deleting files System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
    System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches
    ALL UNSUCCESSFUL
    I'm running very low on ideas. I know I could just erase the drive and reformat it, but the files on it are very important and must be recovered.
    Any help or suggestions would be very helpful. I will not have time until after the weekend to try more things. Thanks in advance if you do not hear back from me until after this weekend.

  • I didn't safely eject my external hard-drive and now my files are not showing up on my other computer?

    I didn't safely eject my external hard-drive as my imac was in sleep mode and I thought it was shut-down. Now I have turned up to uni and plugged my hard-drive into the uni computers (apple) and the word document I was working on last night (before my computer went to sleep mode, and it may still have been open, I cant remember) is gone.....
    I have phoned home and got a family member to try and recover the file. They said they can see it when they open Word under recent documents, however its "ghost" and nothing happens when you click on it.
    My question is, when I go home and plug my hard-drive back into my imac, will I be able to recover this word file? or have I lost it forever?

    I only saved it to my external hard-drive and saved it at the completion of working on it. However left the document open, went to dinner, and this morning pulled the hard-drive out, whilst the computer was asleep not shut-down and now the file doesn't appear.
    I thought when I clicked save then it saved straight away, therefore anything i do after that point (ie a un safe ejection) shouldn't make a difference. Clearly, no matter if you saved the document, if you un-safely eject the hard-drive then the file is lost anyway?

  • Docking my hard drive and reading PC files on a Mac

    I just removed my PC hard drive and put it into a hard drive dock that connects to a PC via a USB plug.  I plugged it into a USB port on my new MacBook Pro.  I was surprised that the files seemed to be able to be read.  I thought that the formatting of the two would make it so the Mac could not read a hard drive from a PC.  Is it safe to copy files from this hard drive to my Mac?

    Yes, it is.

  • Problem with backing up to external hard drive and then " recovering " files, apps etc.

    Hi there,
    I hope you can help me please, I have messed some things up from not knowing what I was doing : ( and would like to fix them if possible.
    I will try to be brief and concise. Here goes....
    1. My 2006 iMac 4 running Leopard OSX was starting to run very slowly. My hard drive had 232 GB of which 220 GB were being used. The thing using most space was iPhoto, over 60 GB of photos.
    2. I downloaded Mackeeper and ran their cleaning program, getting rid of duplicate files, clearing caches etc. but it didn't release much extra space, just a couple of gigs.
    3. I read an article from Maclife " 25 ways to speed up your Mac ". One of the tips was to reinstall the operating system which I did, using the " archive and install " instruction.
    4. I now have Leopard OS under a new account name which is running faster but I cannot access various apps such as iPhoto, Photoshop CS4, Keynote, Pages etc.
    5. Everything prior to me messing around is now in a folder called " previous system ".
    6. I realize now that I should have first bought a new external hard drive, which I now have done ; an Iomega 500 GB with USB 2.0 and that I should have backed up everything first before messing around. Hindsight is a great thing.
    7. Having connected the ext. hard drive, I was looking for info on what I should do next when Time Machine kicked in and automatically started copying everything, without me having to do anything such as formatting etc.
    8. Everything that was on the hard drive ( 220 GBs ) has been copied to the ext. HD so I hope I haven't lost anything, especially my photos on iPhoto and CS4.
    9. Other 3rd party apps haven't been effected but now I would like to integrate everything back into one seamless, quick flowing system.
    10. How can I do this ?
    Any advice or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Sean.

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • If I transfer files to a new hard drive and "special permissions files" are

    I am installing a new, larger, hard drive in my Powerbook G4. I want to "clone" the old hard drive onto the new one. However, when transferring files to a PowerMacG4, as an intermediary in the process , via Target Disk Mode , I get the message that "certain files with special permissions will not be copied".
    I did check the messages in this forum and found that there is a way around this problem. However, it seems that I would need a clean hard drive to do this and I don't want to reformat my G4 PowerMac in order to use that drive as an intermediary in the process.
    The simple question is then: What will happen if I copy the G4Powerbook files via Firewire to the G4PowerMac drive, ignore the permissions warning, and then transfer that data to the newly installed drive in the Powerbook???? Will there be important systems files missing, or will some of my programs simply not work. Perhaps I could then just reinstall anything that's not working (that required special permissions)?
    This probably sounds like a stupid question to you Mac gurus, but I've never really understood the significance of "permissions".
    Thanks

    You cannot simply copy files from one drive to the other. Also, if you clone to the hard drive in another computer, then you must use a separate partition on that drive. You cannot clone to a drive that already has OS X installed on it.
    The cloning process works as follows:
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder of the drive you are cloning.
    2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
    For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 Gen 2 VM failed to boot from SCSI DVD drive using ISO image file

    Hello:
    I'm having a problem trying to install Windows 8.1 Professional on a new Gen 2 VM. I created a new Gen 2 VM using Hyper-V Manager running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and then told it to boot off DVD drive which pionts to the ISO file that I copied to the E:
    drive.  The ISO file mounted in the virtual DVD drive is the Windows 8.1 Professional x64 VL ISO that I downloaded off of TechNet. When I start up the VM to install the OS, I receive this error:
    "Synthetic SCSI Controller (Instance ID 7512B228-F7BC-4DD8-B4F4-72A5B042C2E9): Failed to Power on with Error 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.' (0x80070570). (Virtual machine ID 4195A398-3531-4A34-8588-D1FC3F3DD2D4)"
    Basically the SCSI controller can't read the ISO file. However, the IDE controller on a Gen1 VM can read and boot from the ISO just fine. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a way to resolve this issue and allow me to boot the ISO from a SCSI
    controller?
    Or is there a bug with the Hyper-V SCSI controller that makes it unable to boot from ISOs properly?
    -JP

    Hi JP,
    In addition , please try  :
    1. copy the ISO to an not shared local folder or drive
    2. uncheck the   "enable secure boot" in VM settings .
    If the issue still persists , maybe you can try to down load a new ISO file then try to boot again .
    Hope it helps

  • If I back up on my external hard drive and then delete files on my computer, those files will remain on my external hard drive even after future back ups when those files aren't on my computer?

    I am backing up my macbook pro on an external harddrive because I have run out of space on it.  I am wondering if when I do a backup and then delete those files from my computer, during the next backup, those files will still be availavle on the external harddrive or will they be deleted because they are no longer on my computer.  Confusing I know but I'm sure there is a simple answer to it!

    Its good to have both, a time machine backup, AND a second cloned HD.
    If your HD ever dies on you, you can in a matter of 20 mins, install the old HD and be up and running again quickly.
    Its extremely important to have MULTIPLE backups, so many people have been so upset at losing massive amounts of data, because they "had a backup HD" for their data, but when that died etc, its gone.
    1 backup is never enough, and the data on your computer "doesnt count" as a backup.

  • HELP! HAVE SOMEHOW ACCESSED IPOD 'HARD DRIVE' and CANT GET BACK TO MY MUSIC

    I have no idea what has happened, but the closest thing that it seems to be like is when you access the set up system menu of a computer...I am very scared that I will have lost my music etc, and I was wondering IF ANYONE OUT THERE has any idea what I have done and what I can do to solve the problem...any advice will be MUCH appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • How to delete iPod Hard Drive files? Help appreciated.

    Since I have under a thousand songs, I enabled my Nano as a hard drive on my PC, and put the library on iPod. I went over to my new iMac Core Duo, and placed the songs into the empty iTunes there. I deleted the iTunes Music Folder on my iPods Hard Drive, and disenabled it for disk use. However, when I try to update my iPod on my iMac, it still shows that the iPod is filled up with the iTunes Music Folder on the hard drive because it won't let me update. I checked the folder once again and it shows nothing on the iPod Hard Drive.
    My question is how do I delete that iTunes Music Folder, that I used to transfer songs to the iMac from my PC, off of my Nano's hard drive?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Martin,
    If all the music is on your iMac, then why don't you restore your iPod...
    Restore the iPod
    Then reload everything from iTunes and the capacity and use space should be accurate.

  • My old computer died. I removed the hard drive and converted it to an external hard drive. I want to get the bookmarks from that hard drive onto the new hard drive. I have Firefox 3.6.1 right now. Where do I find the bookmarks on the old hard drive?

    If I had to I could go to Internet Explorer Favorites on the old hard drive and find that file and bring those over to the new computer and into Firefox but those are outdated. Where would the favorites for Internet Explorer be found if you can't tell me where to find the Firefox Bookmarks file. I'd much prefer to find the Firefox Bookmarks, though.

  • How do I encrypt my external hard drive and subsequently a specific file within it, using my Mac? I tried creating a disk image but permission was denied.

    Encrypting an external hard drive and specific folders within. Permission denied using disk image.

    VKP90 wrote:
    When I tried to encrypt a single file within the hard drive itself, I got the following: Disk Utility Progress: Unable to create "Name of my file" (Permission Denied).
    When I tried encrypting the entire hard disk itself, I got: A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required.
    I have also currently used Time Machine on the external hard drive, along with saving other data. Hence, I am not sure if partitioning is going to delete any of this (a video I watched mentioned that using the + button when creating partitions retains current data). Backing up the external hard drive is out of the option since it is the back up to my Mac.
    You can't encrypt a single file. I'm not sure what you did to try. You can make an encrypted disk image which begins with a folder, if desired. Or, you can just create a blank, encrypted disk image, then move your desired files into that.
    While you could partition off the free space without erasing the disk, you cannot encrypt it because you need a GUID Partition table which requires you to repartition the entire drive, not just the free space.

  • I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP.  When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened.  I still get the missing files image.

    I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP.  When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened.  I still get the missing files image.  When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable.  It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

    "When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
    Brownale6 how can  u reload folder in to FCP.
    As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
    For Event
    external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.  
    For project
    external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

  • Backing up images on external hard drive and restoring to new internal driv

    I recently purchased a new external hard drive and a new internal hard drive. Before installing the new internal drive, I backed up the old internal drive on the external drive. Then I installed the new internal drive to my Macbook Pro. However, when I tried to access and print my Aperture images on the new internal drive, I received an error message saying "versions with unavailable master images cannot be printed." I clicked on 'show referenced files," but couldn't determine how to recover my master images. I checked the forum and under "referenced files go offline after restore from a backup" it said to go to "File>manage referenced files" but nothing else. How can I recover my master images? Please help - I have nearly 6000 images that are lost without recovering the master images. And no, I was ultra stupid in not placing everything in a vault = but I'm relatively new to Mac OS and thought a backup would be sufficient. Thank!

    The volume name of the new hard drive needs to be the same as the old hard drive - rename it if you have to - then they should be fine.
    If you cannot seem to make this work then you will have to reconnect them with locate referenced files under the file menu. Select all the files that are disconnected before going into the dialog.
