Adobe Lightroom disk image error

Hi.
I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011.
Running 10.9.4
The issues i have is i cannot install Adobe Lightroom 5.6
When clicking the DMG file it goes so far extracting then stops with an error - Image Data Corrupted
I have been into disk utilities and verified the DMG
I have tried turning off the verify checksum function in disk utilities.
That allows it to extract further start the install but then stops with another error stating contact the software manufacturer.
I HAVE used successfully the same DMG file on my iMac.
It extracts perfectly and installs with no issues.
Confused and stumped.
Thanks.

Hi,
Have a look at this thread: Re: Installation
Basically you will have to download 5.4 to get the MSI then extract and point the uninstall to the extracted MSI file for 5.4
You can download your version from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows

Lightroom 5 Issues - please help...

Hi All,
I am new to LR5, but I can't seem to find an easy answer to the following issues, and solutions:
1. Importing photos creates subfolders at the destination despite having the "create subfolder" option unticked. For example - it is creating subfolder "2013" and subfolder under this "2103/06/20". It's either a bug, or there is another folder option to untick somewhere?
2. Syncronising folders. Ok - so I've exported a bunch of photos with destination folder under its parent as "Web". The export was to create websize photos for the main folder. Typically, with an import of different types of folders, I would do this a few times for each type of folder. However, I then find I have to manually right click each folder and synchronise each folder to get it to see the new folder which I told LR to create and export into. This is very frustrating, because if I forget to do it, it would seem there is no "web" folder with photos in it. Does LR have some kind of global "synchronise folders" which I can do in one hit for all folders, or is there some automatic option to click somewhere?
3. I understand the benefits of non-destructive editiing. However, to be able to use the photos I've edited in LR, I have to have exported them somewhere. It's great to use lightroom to find the edited images by filters keywords etc - but then to practically use this it would seem i would need to have created while exporting everything, an identical folder structure somewhere outside lighroom? Because, if I use lightroom to find the images I want to use, then the only way I'll actually find the actuall edited photos is to have a mirrored folder structure somewhere?
So - this seems quite tedious. It would seem for all the benefits of non-destructive editing, and filtering searches, it kinda causes a lot of work to actually use what you've edited!
Please someone let me know if I'm approaching these problems the wrong way - or not.
Thanks
Tom

I don't know
When you do the export, you can choose to have the exported photos automatically imported back into the LR catalog, thus saving you the need to synchronize everything; but before you do that, consider what I write in answer to your question #3
I don't think you need to export everything and then have "mirrored folder structure" of your exports, unless of course you actually need to have permanent and speedy access to the edited photos for non-Lightroom purposes. This certainly isn't necessary if finding the photos in Lightroom and making temporary exports will suffice. Many people don't export much at all; they find all of their edited photos by using Lightroom and not by using their operating system; and when you actually do need to use a photo outside of Lightroom, you export it, make use of it, and then delete the exported photo, knowing full well that Lightroom can recreate it exactly if you need it again. Basically, this is a tradeoff -- disk space being permanently used just in case you need to use the photo outside of Lightroom versus some extra work to recreate the export if you need it a 2nd time in the future. I choose to not export everything and to make my exports temporary; your needs may differ.

Lightroom disk install failure

I'm trying to install my Lightroom 2 disk on a third computer. It's the replacement computer for an old one that "died." The installation fails - encounters an error that causes failure. How do I tell it that my first installation is no longer in existence? (assuming that this is the problem - the disk looks fine and has worked in the past. And I know, I need a newer version.....)I'm on Mac 10.7.3. I already have installed Lightroom 1 on this computer. Must I upgrade to Lightroom 4 now? I was hoping to stay cheap right now.

Installers don't care for activations. One has nothing to do with the other. Since you didn't provide the exact error, we cannot advise beyond that, but it may simply be an compatibilty issue with newer versions of OSX.

Startup Disk issue in new Mac Air. Replaced with another new mac, then again. MS Excel culprit?

Hey guys, I bought a macbook Air 11’ 4GB 128GB (Mid-2011(after selling my 13” macbook pro) and the problems seem to be never ending.
My primary work involves using MS Excel so I installed a licensed version of Office for Mac 2011 and started using excel on my new mac machine. Within few minutes I got a message pop-up on screen “YOUR MAC OS STARTUP DISK HAS NO MORE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATION MEMORY”.
I checked the size of storage and there was just 5 GBs worth space left despite the fact that there was not a single photo, music, video on the new mac apart from a few MBs of excel files. I took it to the vendor (APPLE PREMIUM RESELLER) who after re-installing lion returned it to me and the same issue again popped up. Finally, they diagnosed an SSD problem and after a week of waiting, I was given a brand new shiny macbook air MC969 (same model).
I used the new one and again while using excel, the same issue has come up. I’m really fed up of this stupid error bcoz I was using the same OFFICE FOR MAC suite on my macbook pro and never suffered any such problem. I have also twice thrice completed all the steps I was told to do (like repair disk perm. Emptying the cache etc. )
Since India doesn’t have any Apple owned stores but only Premium Resellers whose replacement etc policies are not governed by Apple.
They do not even refund the money but have given an option of diagnosing the machine and replacing the problematic part.
I googled the web and found no such issued with EXCEL. Strangely, other apps in the office suite seem to work well without any issues.
I have attached the screenshots that how while using excel, within a couple of minutes, mac starts to heat up, then storage decreases and finally the error where mac becomes dead slow.
Please help me to determine where the cause lies.

The Excel files size range between 29KB to 60KB.
That's it.
I called up the reseller and he said that the replacement period is now over and mac would only be repaired.
I dont want my Mac to get unscrewed

Hard Disk issue with Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390

Well, I'm at my wit's end on this one so after several months of searching for an answer I'm presenting this one to my fellow Toshiba users.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P755 that I purchased around March of 2012 so it is well out of warranty unfortunately. I'm having an odd issue that could just be a faulty hard drive but I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas that might lead this to be a recurring issue with other Toshibas.
The first symptoms my laptop experienced were the computer locking up and the hard drive light staying lit constantly. This first happened right after I was using WIn 7 disk management to shrink the main partition so I could create a second partition. The exact step this happened at was when I had already shrunk the main partition and had just finished creating the second partition. It hadn't even refreshed the disk management screen when it just locked up completely.
I left it locked up for almost a half hour and then did a forced shutdown and when it came back up it was really slow and the hard drive light was staying lit constantly. Eventually it wouldn't even start up and the drive light still stayed on constantly (not even blinking, just solid on).
My first thought was obviously hard disk failure so I grabbed a spare that should have worked perfectly as it was just harvested from a perfectly fine little netbook. I popped the drive in and reinstalled Win 7 and it worked fine...for a few weeks. Then it did the exact same thing except this time it eventually just wouldn't recognize any boot media. I cursed my bad luck in having two failed hard drives and used an older one that I had spare that, as I recall, worked fine when I harvested it from the old laptop it came out of. It worked again...for a couple of days. Then it did the same thing as the first (hard drive light staying lit, not responding hardly at all). I even hooked all these little laptop hard drives up to my file servers SATA ports and they loaded fine and I was able to back stuff up.
My dilemma here is that I know it could just be that I was using old hard drives and maybe by some chance they all failed because they were old but I'd hate to buy a new hard drive if that's not the problem.
Has anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas? I even tried testing the RAM and even removing one module at a time. I also tried pulling the battery and running it straight from the charger thinking maybe it was shorting something out.
As an additional note. One interesting thing that happened after the third drive went bad was that I plugged in the original hard drive thinking I could further troubleshoot and it worked perfectly fine for about a month. It then proceeded to do the same thing again. That's about where I am now. The only other thing I did was yesterday when I pulled the battery and tried it. It did respond very well for at least long enough to almost finish the reinstall to factory partitions but it failed at the last minute and rebooted. It then loaded the Windows startup screen and locked up with the hard drive light staying lit solid.
Sorry for the novel but I wanted to make sure all my troubleshooting steps were documented so no one suggested those. My last step is to pop in another used drive and install Ubuntu and see what happens then.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

How did you reinstall Win 7 on the replacement drive? Did you use the the Toshiba Recovery Disks you should have created as per the directions on page 74 of your User's Guide, following the recovery directions on page 76, and return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup? What happens if you return your unit to its factory default set up? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have a hardware problem/failure, as opposed to a driver-software-conflict problem.
You seem quite familiar with Windows Disk Management software, yet you don't mention running the built in disk 'Error-checking' utility.
If you believe you may be suffering from some kind of hard drive problems, this would seem a logical step. You can access this utility by clicking on 'Start' -> click on 'Computer' -> right click on 'C:' drive -> click on 'Properties' -> click on the 'Tools' tab -> under 'Error-checking' click the 'Check now...' button -> put check marks on both the 'Automatically fix....' and 'Scan for...' options -> click the 'Start' button. The utility will inform you it can't be run now and ask if you want to schedule for the next restart, agree and restart your computer. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the problems the utility may encounter this could take from 20 minutes to several hours.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Lenovo Hard Disk Issue - Felt bad about the service

This email is regards to the complaint on Lenovo All in desktop i purchased which is still there in warranty.
I purchased All in one desktop on 25/02/2014 in one of the outlet of Reliance Digital, Bangalore,India.
Below is the detail of the product -
SN : CSxxxxxxxx
Product Family : C240
Machine type : 10113.
I was getting "Error 1962 : Operating system not found" . and raised a request to rectify the problem. The service engineer came with new hard drive for replacing it. I asked for my data and they told it's customer responsibility to make the data back up. He himself gave the hard disk which was there with hard disk and asked me to back up with some third party vendor.
I visited Cadons, Bangalore for data back up and after checking Cadons engineer told hard drive is completely dead better contactLenovo again so that they will repair it and give one it is repaired i he told he will be able to make data back up.
I again called customer care executive and told that third party vendor was not able to make the data back because of hard drive failure but they are refusing to repair hard drive and each time i am receiving a call from service engineer and are just trying to close the ticket at the earliest by replacing the hard drive. No one is bothering about repairing the hard drive and helping me to take my data back up.
For your reference :Ticket number : TVSE/IDEA/7006373733/
I also sent email to [email protected] from whom i am receiving the emails stating that they will resolve the issue but no action was taken from last 20 days.
I just wanted to check whether Lenovo execut\ives are really meant to serve customer issues? If somebody is there please let me know. Otherwise i will just throw this harddisk and say good bye to Lenovo and it's products in future.

Weird RAM/Scratch Disk issue

Having a weird memory problem with Photoshop CS4 on my G5 Quad.
Let me see if I can explain this properly....
When I open up a file in Photoshop, I notice that the available space on my hard drive reduces (info at the bottom of any Finder window). Essentially, it's using the scratch disk.
I would expect this with a very large file that exeeds the amount of ram in the machine. But it does it even with files of 5-10 Mb. It appears to me (just a guess) that Photoshop isn't using RAM when opening or manipulating a file. Though I have more than enough to open it.
Even when I close the file, or "purge all" from PS's edit menu, my available disk space does not come back. Only when I quit out of Photoshop completely, will it come back.
Make sense?
No other application seems to be having this issue. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
I've run Apples Disk Utility, and everything came out fine. Ran TechTool Deluxe, and no problems there either. Hoping maybe I'm just missing some piece of the puzzle first, before I uninstall/reinstall Photoshop.
System specs:
G5 Quad (2.5 GHz)
4 GB RAM
OSX 10.5.8
Photoshop CS4 (11.0.1)
Memory usage set to allow up to 70% (but doesn't seem to matter what I set it to)

This is normal.
Photoshop needs to allocate scratch space for data, in case it needs to write that data to disk later -- otherwise you would randomly fail with "out of scratch space" in the MIDDLE of an operation.
Photoshop is using RAM, but needs to allocate the scratch space, and make sure the allocation succeeded.
And yes, RAM and scratch space get reused, so rarely decrease.
Other applications that deal with datasets larger than RAM will have the same issues.
And technically your OS swapfiles do the same things.

Repair Disk Issues

I was in Disk Utility earlier today and ran the "verify disk" feature, which told me I needed to Repair my disk because it was corrupted. It told me to restart from my install disc.
When trying to boot from the disc, the screen will stay at the Apple logo indefinitely. I can boot the computer from the normal hard drive just fine, but have been having issues lately with Finder crashing and not being able to reopen until I restart the computer.
If anybody could help me boot from the install disc I'd be greatly appreciative.

adamrust1 wrote:
That repair said it was successful,
That's good news!
but still no luck booting from the disc drive. It's worrisome!
Yes, it is. Option-boot into Startup Manager and see if you can choose your disk, if you can then go into System Preferences > Startup Manager > and re-choose your boot drive.
To read more on verification or repair see this Apple kb article
Next step I can take it to the Apple store I suppose.
Sure, if it's close-by and convenient
EDIT: You might also do a PRAM reset?

Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

Yet another "won't boot from a certain disk" issue

My Sawtooth G4 just got a new second drive, which seems to work fine. At first it wouldn't boot OS 9 (there are multiple partitions on it) but after some messing with the OS 9 install disk and changing the Startup Disk in the control panel I got that sorted out. The real problem is with OS X. I'm running 10.3.9 on my primary HD and I wanted another OS X system on the new HD so I CCC'd my first disk to the new HD's first partition (which worked fine on the old drive's second partition, now erased) but the Mac won't boot from it. It showed up under the boot options menu (hold option down) but simply wouldn't boot from it no matter what. Finally, I erased the partition and installed OS 10.3 then upgraded it to 10.3.9 (still won't boot from it) but the problem continues. I get the spinning wheel followed by the circle with the bar through it.
It looks to me like there are tons of possible causes for this after reading through several similar threads here. Could somebody tell me what the most logical approach is to fixing this? Or maybe there's some stupid obvious thing I forgot?
Thanks!

Haven't you ever had a system crash or something that messed up your startup disk or some portion of the OS? And what if your prefs or anything custom has been affected? If you only have one startup drive and it gets hosed you are really in a world of hurt, as then it's up to recovery methods to salvage things. And if you don't have unlimited time to sort all this out? It seems obvious why I would want two startup disks - I've used this system for fifteen years and it just works, thats all. Under OS 9 everything was a lot simpler - you just copied the files to another disk and if they were there, you got a boot disk; everything is a lot more complex in X and I don't really understand it even now.
Then there's the issue of why the other startup disk, while recognized as such, won't boot. That's a puzzle to me. I can't imagine how the Carbon Copy Cloned disk wouldn't work for this - that's what I did before and it worked fine.
The new drive is a SATA drive with an OWC card, but since the partitions with OS9 boots work fine I don't know what to think. (I have to have OS 9 because I still use Vision for my sequencing and audio recording, and because 9 crashes more often than X I always have at least two boot disks of my main system - just in case.)
Thanks.

Airport Extreme with Airport USB Disk issues - Dont give up just yet...

Just a heads up for anyone who is having issues with accessing an Airport disk with the latest firmware.
After calling Apple support as i was convinced my AEBS was faulty, i have since discovered that if and HFS+ disk cannot be varified and repaired successfully in Disk Utility, it would lock up my AEBS totally. My wireless would drop out and nothing would work any longer untill I turned the power off and on again.
I was able to correct the issue with the USB HDD by booting with the Leopard CD and using Disk Utility in Mac OS X setup. Trying the same thing when booting from the Macbook HDD would result in a 'failed to unmount' error.
Before anyone has a fit and trys to return their AEBS with a similar issue i suggest trying the above or another USB HDD. It just might save you the $49 that i paid as a result of being out of the 90 days of support on my AEBS and Macbook.
FYI, contrary to the technical requirements i was sent by the Apple service agent i spoke with, my Airport Disk IS working with 2 partitions. 1 HFS+ and the other a Windows partiton (i cant remember if its FAT32 or NTFS. My HDD is at home)
I have a collegue at work who was having similar issues with a FAT32 USB HDD on his AEBS but we have just discovered that the HFS+ HDD that i used to test my AEBS with, worked fine on his also. We are yet to find out if his HDD is faulty at this stage. Ill keep you all posted on what we find.
SO, at this stage it would be resonable to say that the AEBS doesnt handle corrupted HDD's very well. (IE it totally locks up and the wireless drops out)

That used to be a problem on 7.2.x. Now 7.3.1 can fix some minor disk problems (such as disk not unmounted correctly).
Since I upgraded to 7.3.1, I haven't once taken my USB hard drive out to be repaired on my Mac.

Lightroom 4 issues

I have installed the upgrade of lightroom 4 and windows 7 will not open it stating there are compatibility issues. What do I do?

Did you have 3.x before? Is 3.x still working?
Did you run the installer as administrator?
Does LR 4 not even open or when does the error occur exactly?

Lightroom tether issues.

I shoot events where lots of folks line up to get photographed and I use LR to aid in getting the best shots and allow the clients to select their favorites.
I own a Nikon D700 and tether it to my recently purchased a Dell Inspiron Laptop with WIn7, I-5 processor, 6GB ram & 640GB HD using LR3.2 RC
I bought this computer to solve what I THOUGHT was a problem related to my old Gateway Win XP 2GB laptop.
Turns out the problem reappeared on my brand new zippy Dell.
Lightroom just stops working.
Last Saturday Night I was humming along on my new computer, allowing clients to select their favorite image(s) to be sent out later.
Humming along right until I hit image #112.
Then my client said: "Hey, where are the rest of my images?"
Sure enough, they weren't on the computer. and they also weren't on my camera.
Now the LR tether control bar reported "No Camera found."
OMG!!!
Had the 15ft USB2.0 cable come loose?
I spent several minutes checking my connection. Still no camera.
Yikes!
I got out my spare USB2.0 Cable and switched it in. Still no camera.
I replaced my still showing good Nikon Camera battery. Still no camera.
I turned LR off and on.
Restarting LR may have worked the first time, but it definitely did not work the next time.
(I think I tried purging the LR cache,but when you are staring at a problem like this,
and people are lining up and some are leaving you don't remember everything you did,
but I had "NO CAMERA FOUND" several times that night and tried everything more than once.
Ultimately: Rebooting was the only solution. (Tick-tock, tick-tock.)
(Meanwhile using the LCD on the back of the camera to show folksw their photo choices.)
After rebooting I could get another bunch of images loaded using tethered capture until it happened again.
(Maybe another hundred images or so - this occured around 4-5 times Saturday night.)
So now I am convinced it is not my computer.
I am now CONVINCED that what is happening to my computer(s) is that LR that is causing the problem when my computer stops recognising my camera.
This has happened every time I have used lightroom to download & view images on the computer.
Since this has happend to me before, I keep trying new ideas. but LR keeps failing.
Is it a "memory leak"?
Maybe it is time to get another program.
(Open to suggestions!)

I am a photographer who started recently experiencing similar problems with tethering my Nikon DSLR's to LR3.
First, a quick overview of my systems:
- I am running LR v3.4.1 on both of my 2 x MacBook Pros.
- My new (3+ months-old) unibody MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8.
- My older (2.5 years-old) unibody MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.5.8.
- I own a Nikon D3 and a Nikon D3x.
- Both cameras are up-to-date with the latest firmware, which is v.2.02 and v.B:1.01 respectively.
About 6+ weeks ago, I was shooting in my studio -- tethering my D3x to my new MBP using LR3 -- when I received an Apple OSX error message saying (something about) the USB port drawing too much power.
**I apologize that I cannot recall the exact USB error message; I was confused as the computer was virtually brand new and I had never seen such an error message before. I should have noted the exact phrasing of the error message, but unfortunately I did not.**
From that moment onwards, for the rest of the shoot, the camera would only intermittently connect/tether to LR; it kept dropping out and images would not download to the laptop. Thinking I had a camera USB cable problem, I shot the rest of the job on my CF cards instead. And, to be honest, as I was very busy that day and then traveling overseas on holiday for nearly a month the very next day, I didn't think too much of about it again.
About a week ago I had my first commercial shoot since returning from holiday. Thinking I had a camera USB cable problem the last time I shot, I got a new camera USB cable for this shoot. I then used this new cable to tether my D3x to my new MBP, and it worked without fault throughout the entire 2+ hour shoot. By this time, I had all but forgotten about the USB error message I had received a month prior, and -- believing I had solved the previous issue -- I had well and truly moved on.
Then, over the past couple of days, I have been shooting another commercial job with my D3x tethered to my new MBP. The setup worked fine for the first 20+ images, but when I stopped shooting to review the work in LR, and then started to shoot again, the new images stopped downloading to LR. Strangely, I did not receive another USB error message; the new images simply didn't appear in LR. However, the LR tether bar still showed the camera connected, as well as displayed the camera's shutter speed, F-stop and ISO, etc. I left the camera turned on, but stopped and restarted tethered captured in LR. The camera appeared detected/connected and the images I had just shot moments earlier (that hadn't initially appeared in LR) automatically downloaded into LR and appeared on the screen.
Weird, I thought, and moved on.
But when I started shooting again after the next break I took, the same thing happened to me again. And it continued to happen all shoot long over the past two days: anytime I stopped shooting to take a break or talk to the models or review the images, the camera seemed to mysteriously "disconnect" from the MBP. Although, strangely, the D3x always displayed as connected in the tether bar alongside it's most recent shutter speed, F-stop, ISO value, etc. However, once the camera had "disconnected", these values were frozen on the LR tether bar and would not change even when I changed them on the camera (as they normally do when tethered). And, again, once I stopped and restarted tethered captured, the camera was immediately detected again and the images I had just shot (that hadn't appeared in LR) automatically downloaded into LR and appeared on the screen.
Frustrated, I tried using different USB ports on my MBP. That didn't help.
So I tried changing my camera USB cable again (to another new back-up one I had). That didn't help.
So I tried changing the USB extension cable that I was running between the camera's USB cable and my MBP (to a back-up one I had). That didn't help.
So I tried changing cameras and tried shooting with my D3. That didn't help.
So today I tried deleting LR3 and reinstalling it again (only LR v3.0.0). That didn't help.
So I upgraded LR to v3.4.1.). That didn't help.
Then I tried the exact same set-up -- shooting tethered on my OLD MPB running LR 3.4.1 and it's older operating system OSX 10.5.8 -- and using all the various iterations outlined above (e.g. using both USB camera cables, using both USB extension cables, using both my D3 and my D3x, using both USB ports on the old MPB, etc) and was simply unable to replicate the problem. Tethering both my cameras to my old MBP worked fine across all variations; they never "froze" or "disconnected" at any point.
Well, the problem MUST be with the USB ports on my new MBP, right?
Well, I am not convinced the problem is with my USB ports. This is why...
- I've never had a problem in the past 6+ weeks (since the initial error message) with any of my USB ports on my new MBP.
- And I've never had the USB power error message appear again.
- The USB ports sync/charge my iPad fine.
- The USB ports sync/charge my iPhone fine.
- The USB ports operate my mouse and my printer fine.
- The USB ports operate my memory sticks and external hard drives fine.
I even called Apple Support the other night and told the tech support person my problem and she helped me to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but it still didn't help.
And, the real kicker (and most confusing/frustrating thing for me): as I sit here, I've had my D3x tethered to my new MBP using Sofortbild (a Mac tethered shooting application) for the past two hours and it works perfectly: any images I shoot tethered to my MBP using Sofortbild download without any problem. The application never freezes. The D3x never stops working. I can shoot 25 in a row, take a break for 5, 10, 15 minutes and return and Sofortbild and the camera will still work fine. Exactly the opposite of LR3 on my new MBP.
I have wracked my brain, and the only thing that is different between my old MBP and my new MBP is the OSX version (10.5.8 vs. 10.6.8). So perhaps there is a bug in the latest OSX that is causing this problem with LR, and when I recently downloaded an update to OSX it somehow started this issue? I have to believe the USB error message I received is simply a coincidence, as the USB ports work fine for everything else (including tethering my D3x to my MBP right now using Sofortbild).
Does anyone else have this issue? I am exhausted by this and welcome any insight or assistance that anyone might have. I am stumped, but certainly open to suggestions to solve this issue. The whole reason that I bought a new MBP was for faster tethered shooting in LR. Now that it doesn't work, I am clearly upset.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.

SATA Disks Issues with OEL 5.8 uek 64Bit

Hi Oracle Linux Experts/Tech Gurus!,
We are facing lot of issues with SATA disks at both Internal and External,
if we use any SATA USB External Disk it make server hang and sometimes restart
We face this issues with external SATA ARRAY connected at DS-3400
1. Files under this SATA disk partition is gone.
2. Disk free space not release after deleted files
3. Server got hang and restarted many times
4. Disk IO Performance is very slow
(hdparm -t result 70MB/secs earlier it was 130MB/secs with RHEL32)
This issues we are facing with this SATA disk array on SAN DS-3400 connected via QLA2460 Qlogic 4G Fiber HBA Card.
We are not faced any issues before with RHEL32Bit OS on this same HW Setup, once we changed to OEL5.8 64
Please help us to fix this issue with SATA Disks on this OEL 5.8.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabhakar.D
