KP "ATA Device recovery failed"

I am experiencing very disturbing behavior of my Mac since upgrading to Leopard: *clean new install* on a new SATA HD using *Sonnet Tempo SATA Adapter*. Repairing the permissions was not helpful.
Any help is more than welcome, I want my stable and solid Mac back!
*1) Sometimes my Mac freezes during the startup:*
a) grey screen with no spinning, I have to restart
b) a couple of times the Apple logo is not shown correctly (pixel soup) with sporadic freezing
*2) Sporadic KP during startup:*

I'm finding this error happening on my 12" PowerBook G4. It started happening just a day or so ago and the machine has been running Leopard since Sunday.
I've run the ADT program and that has found no issues with the machine (ran the long and short test) so far.
The machine was an Erase/Install and a Migration Assistant from a SuperDuper Image to restore apps and accounts. My other machine is the PMac G5 and it has had no issues like this so far (fingers crossed).
I'm taking the PB back to Tiger to see if the issue is OS related or not. If it's HW - I would expect it will show it's head again.
Apple is advertising a sale tomorrow for Black Friday - maybe it's time to upgrade to a MBPro...
My KP is pasted below in case the fact that my PB is suffering the same issue and my KP data helps.

Error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices.

There was an error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices. I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this. I believe a secondary drive in bay 2 died.

I also have just began to hit this issue.
I have 4 2T enterprise class WD drives in a raid 1+0 (or was it 0+1) config.
Device Model: WDC WD2002FYPS-01U1B1
One disk (disk0 in bay 2) keeps disappearing. Completely. /dev/disk0 and /dev/rdisk0 vanish.
If I look at "about this mac" / "More Info" / "Serial-ATA" I get the "error while scanning ...".
If I reboot, the offending disc comes back and the raid volumes start rebuilding.
The SMART status is (reported to be) fine.
I use the 'smartmon' tools and look at the extended SMART status and the values of the counters all looks the same as the other drives. I can run an extended offline test, which takes forever to execute. disk 1 and 3 eventually finish with success (it writes this status into a SMART log area on the disc).
Disk 2 and 0 take longer. I image this is because 2 is being read to resilver 0. Currently, I am running with disk0 absent again, and disk 2s test did not complete. It claims it was aborted by the host, so I imagine the one on disk0 will claim the same after I reboot.
My system is under extended AppleCare until 16 Jan 2011, so if I can determine that this is a disc controller error, I can get it fixed. The drives have a 5 year warrantee, and are less than 1yr old, so they are covered. I just need to figure out what the issue is.
I will now reboot and recover disk0 and see if perhaps there is anything recorded in the SMART log.
There is nothing in kernel.log specific to disk0. I include the log extract here for posterity. The "speed" volume is not raid 0+1, just striped, which is why it gets aborted.

Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start which eventually leads to windows error 193 which never goes away no matter what I do and the dreaded

Mid way through download of I-Tunes after clearing every Apple program from my computer I get "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start message. Eventually leading to Windows error 193 (error 7). How do I get Apple Mobile Device Service to start so I do not get error messages and failure of I-Tunes to install?

If you have a 64-bit machine, then try the "for older video cards" version...

Apple mobile device service failed to start

After months finally let itunes auto update its self. this didn't work due to the next error:
Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service) failed to stat. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
Than i deleted all appele software from my windows 7 desktop and download the latest version form the appel site.
When installing this had the same message. after pressing ignore the installation continues and itunes tries to launch.
Now a message appears reading: Itunes was not installed correclty. Please reinstall. Apple error 7 and windows error 193
Last i tried to install the apple mobile device service separately but this also didn't help

Help!!! iTunes install error "Apple Mobile Device Service Failed To Start". Error 7 (Windows Error 193)

Help! Following a standard upgrade I got the error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
I am running Windows 7 and installing again brings the message "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
I have uninstalled everything Apple, deleted all related folders and run as administrator numerous times with no luck.
I had hoped that iTunes 12.1.2 would resolve the issue, unfortunately it failed to do so leaving me iTunes free which is driving me mad!
Can anyone advise what else I can do to resolve the error and bring back iTunes?
Thanks

All my X6250s hang in ESX 3.5 U5 with SCSI "command error recovery failed"

After installing a pair of Virtualized Network Expansion Modules (X4238) in our Blade 6000 chassis, my ESX 3.5 Update 5 hosts will randomly fail with the error "scsi: device might be offline - command error recovery failed: host 5 channel 0 id 0 lun 0." This does not represent LUNS on our Sun/Qlogic FC hbas (PCIe dual 4Gig). The old Dell blades sharing the FC LUNs are not experiencing any SCSI errors whatsoever. It appears to me this is referring to the VNEM's SAS fabric, but we have no SAS drive modules in the chassis. Is the fact that it sees other hosts on this fabric causing issues? I'd like to disable the SAS fabric, but don't see a way to do this via the BIOS or VNEM ILOM. Do you think I'm barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks,
Charles

Yes, I had updated the blade firmware to the current provided (though I see reference to a newer version in the docs, but not at the download site). However, it seems related to interrupt sharing with the NXGE card/driver under ESX 3.5. I have an open case with Sun, and while they suspected a known issue with the aacraid driver (ESX350-201003402-BG), that had already been installed. They're now asking to create a case with VMware. In the meantime, I've tested a pair of our X6250s without the NXGE, installing the original quad port GigE NIC (Intel). Those hosts are very stable. It may not be the VNEM at all, but I'll keep you posted.

Opticarc BD ROM BC-5500S ATA Device Help

I have a laptop with an Opticarc BD ROM bc-5500s ata device. The problem is the drive fails to recognizes inserted disks with data. I've contacted HP and they provided the following trouble shooting solutions.
1.      Power drain.
2.      Check for the drive in the BIOS.
3.      Reseat the optical drive.
4.      Check for the presence of the optical drive in Device Manager.
5.      Uninstall and reinstall drivers in Device Manager.
6.      Delete upper and lower filters from the windows registry
The drive recognizes that a disk has been inserted but it recognizes the disk as blank even when there is data on the disk. (It tries to format the disk as a new disk.)
The trouble shooting solutions provided have not rectified the problem. The only way to get the drive to recognize a disk is to delete the driver in the Device Manager, Scan for New Hardware and Reinstall; sometimes with a reboot and sometimes not. I guess this is okay as a work around solution but it is a pain to delete and reinstall the drive every time I want to use it.
If anyone has a more permanent fix, the help would be greatly appreciated as this is extremely frustrating considering it's a relatively new system.

Im also still waiting for a firmware update for this device. My Dv7 wont play any blu-ray since may 09 and I was quite shure that a software update would sort this thing out. In September my laptop's warranty expired and HP says they cant help me anymore.
I notice that there are lots of people out there having the same issues with this hardware. Just for the record, my symptoms are I put in a Blu-ray disc and the drive spins up and down repeatedly like it's trying to read, but nothing ever happens on the screen. The OS never realizes there is a BD in the drive.
It used to play some blu-rays but one day just stopped working. When I go into my computer to view the drives, and have a blu ray disk in (tried this with 4 blu rays) it thinks there is no disk at all in the drive. I've tried updating firmware, updating quickplay, downloading powerdvd 9, checked drivers in device manager and pretty much anything else I can think of. So now Im at the point where I think the drive might be bad but dont really want to fork out the money for a new one if I dont really have to.

Pod Touch 32GB MTP USB device has failed to install and can't sync.

After updating iTunes on my Win7 64bit PC, when I plug my iPod Touch 32GB in, I get the error message "MTP USB device has failed to install" and can't sync. Yesterday, everything worked well.
Need help, please!

Thank you. I removed iTunes, QT, Safari and related software, then applied a Windows update and reinstalled iTunes and related software. It solved my problem and let me sync my iPod.
Thanks!

Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) and frozen "Connect to iTunes" screen

I have had my iPod Touch for about one year and have synced with my PC (XP) without incident during that time. Yesterday something happened while connecting with iTunes and I have not been able to find the solution on this board or others. Maybe the charge remaining in the iPod was insufficient. The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.
On the PC side, as soon as I attach the iPod, it wants to install the driver for "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)". I have attempted to point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers find the driver, but what it wants is not there. I have completely uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime and related files; and reinstalled iTunes. I have tried every trick I can find in this forum and others to no avail. When the iPod is connected to the PC, the device manager shows Other Devices - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) with a yellow question mark and exclamation point. This device shows twice. The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and is working properly.
I am at the end of my rope. I hope somebody that can help me will read this. Thanks.

Hi
I am experiencing the same problem as the person in the first thread as follows:
"The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.

I have tried everything I can think of and have been advised to do on the Apple Support pages but this makes no difference.
Please can someone offer a solution.

Hi there Jbrashear,
It sounds like you want to know how to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service because of an alert that was displayed when you were trying to update or reinstall iTunes.
The article below will walk you through the process starting or stopping the Apple Mobile Device Service on your PC.

Also, if you haven't already, take a look at this article which walk you through the process of completely removing iTunes and then reinstalling it.

Satellite C655-S5044 won't recognize TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA device after windows 7 update

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite C655-S5044; Windows 7 64-bit
DVD Drive - TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA Device
After an automatic Windows update, the CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized.
Running troubleshoot on the PC yields:
Problem detected with TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA Device Driver has been disabled
Checking for new drivers says I have the latest.
I tried running a microsoft fixit for DVD/CD drives - no problem found
I tried deinstalling the driver, then rebooting. This yields a message:
Device Driver was not successfully installed please consult with your device manufacturer.
I tried the TSST website for Toshiba and that rerouted me here.
Searching the forums I have seen similar issues with other hardware/OS combinations but not exactly the same.
Additional Info from the device manager:
Device Type: DVD/CD-ROM Drive
Manufacturer: (Standard CD-ROM drives)
Location: Location 0 (Channel 1, target 0, Lun 0)
I suspect that I have multiple device drivers on the computer for this device and the OS is installing one that doesn't work.
How can I get the correct current driver and install it?
Does anyone recognize this problem and have a fix?
Thanks.

Satellite C655-S5044
I didn't find that model anywhere.
Device Driver was not successfully installed please consult with your device manufacturer.
The driver is native to Windows. Sounds to me like a hardware malfunction.
After an automatic Windows update,..
In a Microsoft forum, they would tell you to do a System Restore to before the Windows Update. If that fixed the problem, then apply the updates one at a time to identify the culprit.

Hp pavilion dv6 recovery fails

hey everyone first post on the forum
i have an hp pavilion dv6 that came with 64 bit windows 7 home premium installed. i tried to dual boot Ubuntu with it and ended up overwriting windows. lots more story but i ended up calling hp and ordering recovery discs for my laptop. i then zeroed my hard drive and ran the 3 recovery discs. it prompted my supplemental disc which I inserted. all went well until the "setting up for first use"screen appeared. hp software began installing stuff the during the drivers part it comes up with recovery failed. i ran without the supplemental disc and it did the same thing. someone please help

Hi,
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 character Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around.
Create a retail installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same as the version you currently have ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Pavilion dv6-6c recovery fails well into the process

The computer was reporting smart errors and would no longer boot. I pulled the hard drive and checked it with the hitachi software wich reported the drive was failing wiht an unspecified error. I purchased a replacement hitachi 750G travelstart drive like the one pulled from the laptop and ordered a recovery disk set from HP.
The computer is a Paviliion dv6-6c35dx Entertainment PC
The provided recover disk set is 67890-002 System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Recovery Media for Windows 7 Products Service Pack 1.
The recovery fails after about an hour after the final disk finished copying files.
The error message allows me to select Details which are:
[15:31:01.90] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV
[15:31:01.90] ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log
[15:31:01.90] ChkErrBB.CMD : or, check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log
These errors are in a file name CTOERROR.flg which opened in notepad when I selected details.
Using Notepad to navigate to the suggested locations I find that there is no \logs subdirectory under system.sav.
Was I given the wrong set of recovery disks?
I checked the hard drive and both the new and old are hitachi part number HDD: 5K750-640
Please help, I would really like to get this year old machine recovered.
This question was solved.

You're very welcome.
That is correct. Just use the SP1 media refresh. That is the latest and greatest.

The details:Detect some error during PININST_BBV.Check c:\system.sav\logs\burnbootwarn.logor, check c:\system.sav\logs\burnbootmerge.log How can I get HP support to help me resolve this?

I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP tech support last . Starting with changing the Bios date to 6/1/2006 and then started the recovery (3rd) time. All look great unitl midnight when i went to bed . It had loaded and ejected all 4 disks. THE software installation was running. This mornig I had a Recovery failed message. Waiting fo rTech support to call me back (They are late). I can't do a refresh of windows 8 because the recovery has formatted the hard drive and you cannot get to an options screen. We havent reloaded any BIOS settings yet. I am still waiting for tech support to call Case # 3017584806
