Issues with FW800 drive

Not entirely sure if this is the correct forum, but it's sort of a general OS question.
I had all my work (as a graphic designer) and my email on a FW400 drive, which I switch between my office workstation and my home-office workstation. Everything worked seamlessly - unplug from the office G5, plug in at home (exactly the same spec G5), and carry on.
I bought a FW800 drive (Icecube Pleiedes 300GB) and put all my work and email on that. I didn't pay any attention to the format when I bought it, and have since discovered its MS-DOS (FAT32) formatted.
The issue I have is that after I've moved the drive from one workstation to the other, my Freehand documents 'lose' their links to image files. I can link them back up but it's a real pain and can take a while if there's 20 or more images.
Is this due to it being FAT32 (and would reformatting to Mac Extended be worthwhile), or is there another factor here? An extension to the question would be "What are the disadvantages to running my external FW800 drive with FAT32 formatting?"
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if it is due to the FAT32 formatting, however, it sounds quite possible. FAT32 is a format primarily used for PC drives. And PC file naming conventions are different than Macs even in FAT32. As such names that would be allowed on the Mac system won't necessarily work in FAT32.
In the future don't rely on any one drive to keep your files. And always format the drive in the Mac format unless you have reason to share with PCs a lot. In which case, don't use that drive as a backup drive, and simply as a means to transfer data. Use another drive to backup the data to.

    Try resetting the SMC 2-3 times, if that does not work then the DVD may need cleaning. Get a dry cleaning kit from your local office supply store.

  • Install issue with CD drives / and burning

    I am running Windows Vista 64 on a new computer I built (latest ASUS P5K-E with a quad Q6600 cpu and 4gigs of RAM). I transferred all my music and installed iTunes. Everything is working fine except for the burning of disks. It did give me a prompt at the end of the iTunes install and on first startup that there may be a problem recognizing the CD drives. However, there is no problem importing music on those CD/DVD burner drives -- but I cannot burn on those drivers. I can burn using other software on these drives -- no issues with the drives at all. Under iTunes "Preferences", and 'Burning' it states "No supported Disk burners found". Both are Lite-on CD/DVD burner drives and less than a year old -- and of course worked on the old XP computer with iTunes. I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes -- no luck. Any ideas? This looks to be something in the Registry on install, but not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

    You may need the CD Configuration folder too, after you install the drivers.
    Here is the CD Configuration folder, with the Files you need Just Unzip it and place the CD Configuration Folder into Your C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes Directory

    I had my friend with Windows Vista x86 Install iTunes and give me the Folder and Files I needed.
    Hope this helps you

  • USB issues with External Drive

    I am running a 1 TB Fantom drive (MDC1000) (2 Partitions) on new OS 10.5.6 MacPro via one of the back USB ports. Been using the drive for over a year with no problems.
    Now intermittent issue with mounting drive. After successfully mounting and letting the drive cycle down, the USB2 connection disconnects when the drive starts back up again. I receive the Device Removal Message, then the drive tries to remount. Then I receive the message again. What is strange is that the drive seems to work fine when data is being accessed consistently.
    I clicked off the "put the hard disc to sleep" checkbox in the Energy Saver preference which seemed to stabilize the intermittent problem, but now there is an issue with the machine not coming out of sleep, and I get the startup clock icon when I try to restart. The machine does not shut down with the USB connected.
    I'm still trying to determine if it's the drive or the machine. I ran the disc utility and repaired the disc as the intermittent disconnections seem to corrupt the trees and directories. I am able to fix them. Is there any utility for testing the USB ports? There should BE.
    Could this be due to a recent update? Or lack of firmware update from the drive manufacturer? Seemed to come out of nowhere.
    Thanks for any info.

    Just to follow up with this for anyone has a similar problem.
    Tried new cables and seemed better for a short time, but then still would not mount successfully.
    I called Micronet after I didn't hear back via their email form. The tech there seemed to suspect it was the power connection on the network card in the drive which would make some sense. He confirmed there were no firmware upgrades for the Fantom drive.
    Also tried to mount the drive unsuccessfully via Firewire and it did not work.
    So my conclusion is that it's not the drive mechanism but the network card in the drive. I have a sinking suspicion that there is a power issue in my office space, which may have affected the drive. I've had other machines and devices which have had power issues in the past.
    Does anyone know any simple and easy way to test electrical integrity in a work/office environment?
    I bought another 2tb drive, transferred the data and reformatted the old drive to see if that does anything.

  • Issues with external drive on Mac Mini / Lion

    I'm using an external SATA drive in a Newer Technologies Voyager dock (which I like to call the "toaster") with a brand new Mac Mini i5 2.3G via FW800.
    The drive was formatted using Disk Utility on a G4 running Tiger (10.4.11)
    With the drive mounted, the Mini's performance seems to slow down, and it randomly dismounts the drive, with the usual warning, "you disconnected your drive without dismounting it first, bla bla...)
    I think I remember when Leopard was new, there was a firmware issue that had to be dealt with, and when moving drives from OS 9 to X and back to 9, I lost access to the data on the drive.
    I'm also aware of the partitioning scheme difference when formatting drives for use on the Intel machines.
    Could either of the above have anything to do with the problem I'm having here?

    I'm not an expert in this, but as far as I know, GUID only comes into play if you want to boot from it, but...... you never know, it could - here is an excerpt from Disk Utility:
    If you’ll be using the disk only with Mac computers, choose GUID Partition Table.
    Another thought is: how old is that drive? All hard drives fail sooner or later - have you tried to check it with Disk Utility or something like Disk Warrior?

  • IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

    My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
    Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
    The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
    Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
    (The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
    At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
    1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
    2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
    <* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
    Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
    - blowing dust out of the back with canned air
    - checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
    - fixing permissions from normal boot
    - boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
    - fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
    - getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
    - clearing PRAM
    - resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
    - Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
    - virus scans (Clam XAV)
    I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

    Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
    The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
    Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
    Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
    iStat currently shows:
    HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
    HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
    ==========================================
    Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
    [That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]

  • Anyone tested 24" iMac with FW800 drive?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried using a FW800 drive with the 24" iMac?
    I tried my Macally enclosure with a Samsung 250 GB drive. I found that the write speed was about 70% of the read speed (using Quickbench 2.1)---very similar to my old dual G5.
    I was hoping that they had fixed this probem. Guess not.

    Glorfindeal is correct. See the specs here:
    http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html
    The first iMac with Firewire 800 is the 24" iMac.

  • FireWire issues with external drive in Yosemite

    I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and I have an annoying problem with my 500GB FireWire external drive (which I use for Time Machine backups).
    Basically, after updating the drive won't show up anymore, neither in the Finder nor in the Disk Utility. I also tried the "diskutil list" command in the Terminal, but it is nowhere to be found. Note that the drive does indeed receive power from the port - it spins - and when I look into System Report --> Hardware --> FireWire it does show up there (but I can't mount it). Furthermore, if I use a USB cable to connect the drive everything works fine, so the disk itself seems to be OK.
    The funny thing is that if I boot with the drive plugged in the FireWire port the system mounts it normally. But as soon as I eject the drive, I am unable to mount it again (unless I switch to the USB cable, as mentioned above).
    Prior to the update, everything worked flawlessly. For now, I backed up my Mac via USB 2.0, but it's very slow and I definitely don't want to resort to this workaround everytime. And it goes without saying that I don't like having issues with my primary backup device in general.
    I already did all the usual troubleshooting (rebooting, resetting NVRAM and SMC, ...), but the problem still persists.
    Any suggestion?

    I had the same issue on a rMBP 13'', brand new 2015 March.
    Two thunderbolt adapter connected: one for ethernet, one for firewire Lacie drive.
    and...
    even after taking the ext. Firewire on the Spotlight exclude list, and also after disabling sleeping hard drives, I always got the issue.
    Until I realized that touching the laptop or moving the screen was immediately leading to disconnection.
    Then I exchanged the thunderbolt connectors, and now it is stable and does not disconnect again.
    ??? Maybe one of the ports is more "delicate" than the other?
    Big hardware weakness here...

  • Issue with HtmlUnit Driver by using oracle extended selenium webdriver

    Hi,
    I need to run test case in silent mode i.e. silent playback.Thus, using HTMLUnit Web Driver which is available in oracle extended selenium binaries.
    The recorded files works fine with firefox driver but when i converted my code to html unit driver, it failed to find link inside ADFTable of my fusion web application.
    Is htmlunit driver which is in oracle extended selenium files compatible with ADF Application???
    Is there any other approach for silent playback of ADF Application test cases other than headless and VM.
    Please guide on this issue.
    Regards,
    Meera

    *## After running csscan and csalter*
    Did you really run csalter.plb? csalter.plb should not be run before a full-export A-to-B type of migration. On the other hand, if there were convertible data in the database, csalter.plb should have just reported an error and terminate without changing anything.
    *## "[Oracle][ODBC]Syntax error or access violation"*
    This error does not say much. Why do you think ODBC does no conversion?
    The conversion for the ODBC driver is performed by OCI to/from UTF-16 and it is independent of the NLS_LANG character set. If the C++ application is written in the ANSI mode (does not use wide character data types), Microsoft ODBC Manager will convert between the application and the Oracle ODBC driver, between system code page (Cp 1252) and UTF-16.

  • Has anyone experience iMac memory issues with One Drive (previously Sky Drive) - uses 5GB of my 8GB memory!

    I recently started experiencing memory issues with my iMac due to One Drive using up to 5GB of my iMac memory (total of 8GB). Every time I start up my iMac Activity Monitor shows One Drive uses around 4-5Gb of the internal memory for no reason. Previously Onde Drive seemed to work fine, it's only since about 2 weeks I notice this. It's really annoying as the iMac freezes up regulalrly and I need One Drive to synchronise my files across different devices.
    Has anyone experienced this too and are there any known fixes?

    Yes this is happening to me too, since the last upgrade. Eventually MacOS starts insisting I "Force Quit" all my applications as I have run out of application memory.
    OneDrive doesn't appear in that list because it's not an application... but Activity Monotor clearly shows it's the culprit, taking up 5GB+ of RAM.
    I've raised the issue on Microsoft's forums:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/forum/sdperformance-sdother/onedrive -for-macos-memory-leak/fe04cf60-949f-47b6-b886-10539b5c5cc3?tm=1397636232934

  • RAID1 with FW800 drives

    This used to work until I upgraded to 10.4.7 but....
    I have 3 different RAID1 drive sets connected to a single 10.4.8 server. All six of the external drives are connected via FW800 with the drives all being 300GB.
    For some reason after upgrading to 10.4.7, my drive sets are rebuilding daily with some out-and-out failing in the rebuild process. I thought I was experiencing a rash of defective drives, but each drive works flawlessly on it's own.
    When I delete the RAID set the drives will mount 99% of the time as the server is power-cycled.
    Any ideas?

    I don't think I would dare running shared FW disks and then having 6 of them hanging from the same FW 800 port(s) raided with RAID 1 (ouch)...
    Depending on the case (cooling/power) and sleep they are probably not ideal as the main drives, as backup drives - fine.

  • MSI K8T Neo2 issue with SATA drives....

    I have a K8T Neo2 motherboard, with a 3700+ San Diego core, running Windows XP Service Pack 2. I don't have the version with the Promise SATA Raid - using the VIA SATA RAID. I am using the latest BIOS (according to the Live Monitor).
    The machine was set up (the OS installed) on an IDE 40 gig drive. All was fine, but I noticed that my machine lagged at times (mostly games, under heavy disk load) so I decided to get a couple of Seagate 250 gig drives (they have NCQ, which I know is not supported by this MB, but they were on sale, and I'd read that the drive should still work ok).
    I attached the drives, and enabled SATA in the bios. The machine boots fine. I created a single 500 gig striped array using the two new drives. Windows XP sees the array fine, but that I have to initialize it.
    Every time I initialize it I get an error that says, "An error has occured" and tells me to check the event log (nothing there), and to either restart the Disk Manager or reboot my computer. The OS actually locks up a few times when I'm doing this (the mouse-cursor freezes).
    I've tried using the disks as two single disks, same error (and it reported that they were only 137 gig each, though apparently it's a registry issue, and I used a util to change that setting, but I haven't tested to see if it changed anything.).
    I got the latest VIA SATA drives from the MSI site, and installed them (though honestly, WindowsXP saw the card and the drives just fine). One weird thing is that the VIA SATA RAID is listed under SCSI devices in the Device Manager - there is no SATA category in there.
    I'm at a loss here. I've searched the web, and this forum, without luck.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    *Edit* I just unplugged two IDE disk drives from the computer, and when I started it up again, it found a Promise SATA Raid controller. I thought that wasn't included with the basic version of the board?
    David.

    Ok - thanks - I read through the stickies and updated my bios tonight to 9.20 (the latest).
    Had some dry-mouth moments when WindowsXP decided to "discover" every piece of hardware I had, right down to the mouse, and again when core-center rebooted my computer.
    Also, there was some time where my memory (OCZ 2-3-3-6 DDR3200) was being set to CAS2.5, which was kind of weird, but it fixed itself.
    Unfort, I am unable to increase my FSB/HTT speed past about 205 before my computer does a reboot.
    I have an ATI video card (X800 Plat Ed), and I'd read that some other people had issues with ATI card and the AGP-lock, so I got the CG-ICS950405 clock-gen, and it does state that my AGP is running at 66 (and PCI 33).
    Going to bump up my settings via clockgen as soon as I post this (want to post before it potentially crashes).
    Should I roll back to the 9.10 bios? Not a lot of discussion on the 9.2, and I'm wondering if it causes some issues.
    Thanks again for all the help and info. I used to have a firm grasp on all the components of a system, way back in the P3 days, but things have changed quite a bit...
    **EDIT**
    Seems to be a Core-Center issue. Used ClockGen to o/c to 2600, with temp nice and low. Will run like this for a bit. Does Core-Center work with a 9.X bios?
    I think all my problems are solved - copied a wack of files to my SATA drives, and there were no issues. I won't trust Live Monitor again for drivers or bios - it's still stuck way back at 3.30.
    I'll pass the info I've learned off whenever I can.
    Comments and criticisms welcome.
    David.
    Quote from: Puppetman on 26-September-05, 23:23:42
    I looked at the motherboard page - they recommend 3.30 unless you have having issues (which I kind of guess I am). Funny that Live Monitor won't pick up those BIOS changes - wonder what else I'm missing.
    So 9.1 fixes the AGP/HTT overclocking issue?
    The stickies are great - thanks.
    David.

  • USB Issue with Flash Drives

    I am running XP Pro with SP3 and all updates as well as all Bios updates with Lenovo.
    I have an issue with my USB ports.  Everytime I put a USB flash card in any slot I do get installation and driver installed correctly.  But when I go to the Explorer I get "is not accessible"  Then it says under that "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"   But when I leave the USB flash drive in the drive and reboot I am able to to access the drive.  Any suggestions on this issue I am not sure if it was the Bios update or one of the XP udpates.  Anyone else come accross this issue?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Would you try this:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    I don't know what you are looking at to determine space available. You need to do that by selecting the device's Desktop icon then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. The capacity and available space will be displayed in the Get Info window. A portion of the device will be allocated for the RDB and directory, so some space will be shown as in use.

  • Sync issues with Thunderbolt drives

    I'm checking to see if there are any sync issues with Mac Book Pros pre-Retina screen.
    I have a (13-inch, Mid 2012)  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Book Pro and I'm having some sync/latency issues with a number of audio interfaces, including a Symphony I/O and a MBox Mini 2.
    I'm editing with Final Cut Pro 7.  Mavericks OS 10.9.5.  It's also happening with QT 10.3.
    I'm using a Thunderbridge with the Symphony I/O and the USB port for the MBox Mini 2, but it has the same issue.  I'm trying to get the registration number for my Pro App version of QT 7 because QT 10 is having some issues with a few arcane video formats.  Is that possible?  I can't retrieve the email because the computer that might have it is long dead, and buried in storage.
    configuration:
    Mac Book Pro to
    G RAID Studio (via Thunderbolt) to
    (Apogee Symphony I/O Thunderbridge)
    1080P monitor (via Belkin Mini Display port to HDMI cable)
    or MBox mini via USB
    Both of these setups have sync issues.  I have rigged a 1/8" stereo plug out of the headphone output and except for the occasional deafening buzz when you touch the adapter, it works okay, with no seeming sync issues.
    Is this a thing?  I understand that there is an issue with Symphony I/Os and certain Haswell Mac USB 3.0 ports.

    Hi,
    Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
    Thanks

  • Routing issue with Nokia Drive on Lumia 900

    So I finally tried to use Nokia Drive on a real trip (in New Jersey, USA) and I've noticed that the software often seems stuck on returning you to the originally plotted route when you deviate from it, instead of finding the best remaining route based on the new location. I'll give details for my particular trip in case this is a local issue.
    We decided to take the NJ Turnpike to route 18 to River Road to Interstate 287 instead of 295 to 206 to 287 as Nokia Drive recommended (the routes are roughly equivalent in travel time, so I don't fault this initial route selection). When we entered the Turnpike, the new route kept trying to get us to 295 until we passed Exit 7 (In reality, past Exit 5 there isa considerable penalty to getting off the turnpike and onto I 295).
    Finally, after Exit 7 it decided we should stay on the turnpike and get to 287 directly using Exit 10 (This too is roughly equivalent in travel time, so it was a reasonable suggestion). Once we took Exit 9 to route 18 instead it picked a different route than the one we are familiar with and this is where the biggest problem occurred. The route it suggested would enter 287 North at Exit 7, while the route we took entered 287 at Exit 9. It kept insisting we get back on its rout and get on at exit 7 to the point that when we were about to enter 287 at exit 9, it told us to get onto 287 *south* and take it to exit 7 where we would exit the highway and immediately re-enter it northbound. This is rediculous and should never have been suggested.
    Am I right in my assessment that the software tries to stick to the original route instead of calculating a new one on the spot? What possible advantage can there be in doing it this way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris

    Here is a quite stupid example on route recalculation and how it tries to return to the route originally suggested. The recalculated route suggests that I turn right, drive a few meters and then make a U-turn. The error is not in map data itself. The other picture shows that turning left is not forbidden.
