Is this disk problem a coincidence? (unused node is not erased (node 1 )) on both PS CS and AI CS

I just tried to install both PS CS and AI CS from my install disks that I haven't touched in years and both disks' installation apps failed to respond. I ran disk utility and got the same message: unused node is not erased (node 1). Repair disk. Which, of course, I cannot do. This happed on two different computers. It seems very strange to me that both these disks are damaged as such and I was wondering what exactly does that message mean?

This may be a legacy Mac thing, as they used to have a different CD file system back in the day. You may just need some specific driver/ system extension to handle that. Downloading a trial version of a burning program like Toast might also help to get access to the files...

Start Up disk problem following kernel panic-mounts but not as a boot drive

I have a problem that I can't solve.
Dual processor G4 with 3 hard drive, all of which are bootable drives with 10.4.7 installed:
A- my primary boot drive - internal SCSI drive (Adaptec PowerDomain 2930U PCI card);
B - internal hard drive that came with the G4; and
C - external Firewire hard drive
Recently, I booted into my B drive and it locked up after it went into sleep mode. On reboot, I experienced a number of kernel panic messages, prompting me to restart my computer.
PROBLEM: Since that time, I have not been able to get my A drive to once again be the Startup Disk.
Diagnostic steps that I have performed:
i. I have run and re-run Disk Warrior from a bootable CD and the A drive as well as the other 2 hard drives mount and are "repaired" by DiskWarrior.
ii. TechTools Pro shows no hardware problems and whatever glitches it has found were repaired.
iii. Disk Utilities consistently returns "Volume passed verification."
iv. Zapped the PRAM
The A drive does mount and is accessible whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive.
System Preferences/Startup Disk lists the A drive as a candidate whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive. However, when the A drive is selected in System Preferences, on reboot, it doesn't become the boot drive.
I have tried to restart and hold the "C" key down so that I might possibly be able to select the boot drive from A, B or C. But the C key method doesn't produce the intended result, only reverting back to the boot drive in power prior to the reboot. That occurs whether the boot drive is B or C.
At that stage, rightfully or wrongfully, since the problem persisted whether the B or C drives were the startup disk I concluded that the problem could be hardware related and not software related.
On one of the reboots following the kernel panics, a Crash Report was produced - the verbiage
which is code related and so far above my knowledge and experience that it is incomprehensible to me. I can post it separately if helpful but it won't fit in this email message due to restrictions on length of messages.
I haven't had a kernel panic following any of the last 50+ restarts that have accompanied my attempted diagnostics.
Finally, I ran the Apple Hardware Test, version 1.2.6, that came with my G4. First, I removed all peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse (plugged into the keyboard), the Adaptec SCSI card, and a 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+). I ran the Extended Test and an error code was generated during the logic board test: Error Code fire/5/2
That gave me some hope. I next removed the 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+) and re-ran the Apple Hardware Test and no error were reported. Both the logic board and memory passed. I ran the extended test twice, each time no error.
Ah, did that solve my problem? I rebooted and I still cannot get my A drive to be the Startup Disk.
Next, I ran the Rember software (a GUI app for Memtest) and the RAM checked out as fine.
At this stage I don't have a clue. The white towel is about to be waved.
If the problem is the Adaptec SCSI card, I don't know how to test it since it obviously has to be installed to enable drive A to mount.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am the original poster on this thread.
Turns out that the culprit behind all my boot problems was the battery on my 5 year old Quicksilver G4. Replaced the battery and all is back to normal.
FWIW, for any Quicksilver owners with SCSI cards, be aware that you can create boot problems for your SCSI drive by zapping your PRAM. As part of my diagnostics I did zap the PRAM but that turned out not to be a problem.
Adaptec's site does include a workaround should you have problems after zapping the PRAM. This specifically covers the PowerDomain 29160 SCSI card/2930U card, which I have.

Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. When I boot on Recovery and run verify disk, the error doesn't come anymore. Just when I run verify disk on normal mode. Anybody has seen this before?

My Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) has been freezing out of the blue probably once every two months. I restarted on safe mode, went to Disk Utility, repaired permissions and ran "Verify Disk" and got the following:
Invalid directory item count(It should be 114483 instead of 114484)
File system check exit code is 8.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
Rebooted on Recovery mode and ran "Verify Disk" but the message didn't appear anymore, thus not letting me to access the "Recovery HD" procedure.
When I restart normally and do the disk verification I get the same error.
Has anybody come to something similar?
Suggestions?

I never ever run a Verify Disk. I simple repair the disk drive and then the user partition(s).
And do one or two Safe Boots.
Also helpful to have two full backups: TimeMachine at least, plus a clone of your system drive and data.
Install or clone the system to an external hard drive, repair that and then boot from it, check that everything works, repair the internal drive.
You need to use Repair to TRIM an SSD.
Lots of problems with Yosemite when updating install a new OS. Always better to backup, erase, install, and then use Setup Assistant to import and restore settings and files.
Probably better to post in the MacBook Pro forum or better yet, in Yosemite forum.

Get "can't repair this disk" message when camera mounts

Hi,
I've been using this camera, an Olympus point and shoot D-590 Zoom, for years with my various Macs. Yosemite is now telling me it can't repair this disk when I mount the camera. (I mount to the desktop. I don't want iPhoto to open it. That is NOT an option I want to explore so that's off the table from the start, ok?)*
This started with Mavericks. I didn't get that message before that. Now, with Yosemite, I also get a beachball and can't dismiss it easily. I have to keep hitting the OK button and eventually it will register and I can on downloading the pics into a folder I have set up for that.
How can I get Yosemite to stop telling me this? As far as I know, Deeper and Tinker Tool don't have that as an option I can choose. I am reluctant to get into the Terminal so if there is any other "friendlier" option, I'd love to know about it.
I have reformatted the camera's disk. There is no firmware update from the camera manufacturer. I should add, OSX will open the folders on the camera's storage as if it was 10.9, opening NEW folders with each sub-folder I have to get to. That seems odd...
I don't want to format the camera's storage with OSX as that isn't recommended.
*The reason I am not going to let iPhoto open it is the last time I did that, my camera got ruined. I was unable to use it. Now, this may have been coincidence but I am not going to take another chance. I let the OS open my camcorder and that's fine. I am not going to risk my camera. Silly? Superstitious? So be it.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
John

Well, whadya know. Since upgrading to 10.10.3, the above-mentioned phenomena doesn't happen anymore. Yay! No "can't fix disk" message anymore. No pre-10.10 folder behavior of opening new folders with each double-click so that I can drag my pics out.
It did do something weird though. As I command-E'd the volume, it created a new folder on the desktop, called it NO NAME, and may have changed the name of the camera volume to NO NAME too... I think it used to be "SD card" before... Inside that folder are DCIM and other folder with the same pics I dragged over.
I'll see if that happens again. Maybe I hit the wrong key before I hit command-E...
But yay! No more stupid Can't fix this disc messages that take 10 seconds or so to dismiss!
Seems like a side-effect of this upgrade or was this intentional? Who knows.

When I print a picture from my mac it has black lines through it . has anyone had this same problem?

When i print a picture from iphoto or photo shop on my mac it has black lines running through , has anyone else had this same problem?

Thank you Terence , I re-loader the printer driver a third time and this seems to have fixed the problem.

"The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized"

I have a MacPro (Sept. 2008 model) and now I tried to burn a CD, when I insert the CD-R it will recognize the CD insertion and ask me if I want to mount it with finder, I click yes and then it gives me this error and it doesn't mount:
*"The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized"*
I also tried a DVD+R and it gives me the same error, but when I insert a CD or DVD that is not a recordable media it mounts perfectly. Anyone knows how to correct this?
I inserted the same CD-R in my Aluminum MacBook (late 2008) and it worked perfectly, I was able to burn it without a problem.

This gets more strange by the moment. Toast will see AND burn the blank DVD/CDs when inserted, at least when using the PowerMac's internal Pioneer burner. (I haven't tried it on the external TDK burner.) I changed DVD/CD System Preferences from "Show in Finder" to "Launch Toast Titanium" and had no problems. The application launched on DVD insert and did the data burn flawlessly, though a bit slower than I remember it being on Tiger.
But there is still this inconsistency between the PowerMac and the MacBook Pro. On the former, Leopard simply refuses to recognize any media placed in the internal burner, but on the MacBook Pro insertion of a DVD/CD functions just like Tiger used to - mounts the untitled media on the desktop, allows drag and drop file adds, and allows burning by OSX finder or menu. Has to be some strange bug in Leopard code for a PowerMac G5.

What does this mean: ERROR! Shared library ioser12 could not be found.

Hi all,
I am trying to establisch a JDBC connection to a MaxDB database (former SapDB).
I have a win2k system with jdk 1.4.2_01 installed.
I have the JDBC connection working in the sense that i am able to execute SQL scripts by ant tasks,
so far i think that everything is properly configured.
Nevertheless, when i try to use the connection in my own class (a JUnit testcase), i get this message:
"ERROR! Shared library ioser12 could not be found."
The program then continues, and i get sql error messages that the user is still connected. I think these are followups from the first one - one testcase may be broken by this error, but the connection is not closed.
I searched the web to find what i could do against it. I found some forum discussions about this problem and hence i tried to set my path and classpath to locations where the isoser12.dll is located (runtime environment/bin), and finally copied it to the windows/system32 dir.
Nothing made this error disappear. I am still stuck with this one since two days.
Btw, the same testcases work well with other databases like oracle or db2.
Hence, i am calling to you for some ideas about this error.
Thank you in advance for help,
Andreas Schroeder

Hi Andreas,
I am also interested in making maxdb(sapdb) work with S1 application server. I would appreciate if you could let me know if you are able to make it work with S1 V8 server.
Thanks,

What make, model and version router do you have?
Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc

Disk utility reports "unused node is not erased" after installing 1TB HD

Hi there,
I just installed a brand new 1TB HD into a 2006 Intel iMac. I booted from the Snow Leopard installer DVD and tried installing the OS, but I received a kernel panic. I rebooted from the installer DVD again and ran Disk Utility which reported multiple instances of "unused node is not erased" and could not repair the disk. I re-partitioned the disk but each time Disk Utility gave the same error. I rebooted from the DiskWarrior DVD and rebuilt the directory (DW found no errors). I then rebooted from SL DVD again and ran Disk Utility which found the same "unused node is not erased" errors but this time was able to repair them! I'm now trying to reinstall the OS for a second time.
I'm wondering from this bizarre behaviour whether
a) I have a faulty (new) HD
b) there might be something else wrong with my mac causing these errors.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Greg

Well, I attached another good external drive via FireWire, booted the 2006 iMac from the SL installer DVD, partitioned it with DU, then ran DU Repair Disk, and Disk Utility immediately gave me "unused node is not erased" errors and was unable to repair the drive.
I attached the same good external drive via FireWire to another Mac and repeated the same procedure: this time DU gave me no errors at all.
I'm going to assume my 2006 iMac has a faulty logic board or SATA controller (with cost of repairs probably more than the computer is worth). Would you agree?
Thanks again!

Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

Is this disk problem a coincidence? (unused node is not erased (node 1 )) on both PS CS and AI CS
