Lockups when accessing files on other drives

I have 845PE Neo2, with most up to date drives and bios. Just built. Have 4 hard drives, 2 of which are on the raid channel. When accessing files on any other drive aside from C: the system will lock up. For example, I have mulitple movie files on one drive. If i look though and watch about 10 or 15 of them, the entire system will lock. Can't move mouse, no CTRL, ALT, Delete. Only fix is to reboot. RAM (2 sticks of 512 DDR 2700), CPU Intel 3.0 800FSB), and hard drives(120gig WD special edition, 120 gig maxtor, 60 gig Maxtor, 80 gig WD, ATI 9800 Pro, 6 system fans.) have all worked before with no problem. Only thing new is MB. I have reinstalled windows XP Pro with new MOBO. Any idea what could be causing this or do i possibly have a bad board. I have bios set to default settings.
P.S. - another funny thing is that when i boot Star Wars galaxies, it says there are 2 processors and my video card is 117 megs. Very strange. Please help!

Yes, I believe 32 Bit is enabled by defualt
VGA card = ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
((what psu in detail,max amps 3.3 5 and 12v
how much cpu is being used as you are doing this by device manager )))??? where do i get this info?
120 Gig maxtor ide1 master(top of cable) jumper
120 gig WD special edition ide1 slave (middle of cable) jumper
80 gig WD ide3 master jumper top of chain (not using raid, but have it as 1+0 strip)
60 gig Maxtor slave jumper middle of chain (not using raid, but have it as 1+0 strip)
The hard drive configuration is exact same as I had in my soyo dragon. Not one difference. I had no problems with that.

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File Import Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File>Import>Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos in place on the file system. All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option. What?

All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.
That has been true for the previous Aperture versions. Now Aperture simply treats the original image files exactly as they are in the imported library. Referenced images will stay referenced, managed will be imported as managed. But you can always relocate the imported managed images afterwards by using "File > Relocate".

Error message when accessing file browser on NMH300

Hi, i have a problem here. The error message: "The media hub is not responding, please confirm the device is powered on and connected to your network." appears whenever i try to access File Browser on the NMH300 media hub. I tried rebooting the device, resetting the device but to no avail. I still get the error message. I am using the updated firmware 3.18.4. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Also, i can't seems to rollback the firmware to the 2.17 version even though i have done a reset of the device by pressing the reset button at the back of the device. any help on this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Try to press and hold down the reset button at the back of the mediahub for 30 seconds then check if its now reset back to factory defaults.
I'm curious, when you began having that problem was it at the time when you created a folder under "File Browser" ? Maybe the Linksys article below is the right way of creating folders on the mediahub or just create a folder using the mapped drive.
Creating and Deleting New Shares Displayed in File Browser
Anyway I hope this helps.

Time capsule disconnects when accessing files

I set up the time capsule on my comcast business class internet. It also serves as my wifi router as well.I have been having issues when 7 users are connected to this wifi router and then when we try accessing files on it, it disconnects us and we have to reconnect to the wifi and then try to access again.
It has become a huge inconvience lately, and quite honestly I did not update to Maverick becauce I was nervous of the issues that would incur.
When I bought the time capsule, I wish Apple would have helped set this up as we purchased over $15k from them in equipment. I am just really regretting the coplexity of this and the fact that we can not access this time capsule remotely at all.
NEED HELP ASAP!

How is the TC setup and what mode is it working in?
Your profile shows you are using Mavericks.. and we know Mavericks is having issues with accessing files on the TC.
Then this line confuses me.
It has become a huge inconvience lately, and quite honestly I did not update to Maverick becauce I was nervous of the issues that would incur.
So you did update to Mavericks or not?? Do you have a mix of Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Why are 7 people trying to access files on the TC?
The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for Time Machine backups. If you are using it as a file store, are you also using it as TM backup?? That is likely to cause some issues.
If you spent that much money with apple did you ring their support and get them to talk you through the issues?
Keep hassling them if they are not helping you.. They have supplied you equipment that does not work.. you have the right to return it.
If we are going to be able to help.. spell this line out a bit more.
I have been having issues when 7 users are connected to this wifi router and then when we try accessing files on it, it disconnects us and we have to reconnect to the wifi and then try to access again.
Does that mean, when only two or three users are working it is fine? What is the tipping point?
How do you reconnect to the wifi?
Is everyone trying to access the same file, ie a company database??

File structure is a real pain when supplying files to other developers!

Does anybody have an easy way to supply files to other developers without them having to change loads of file and image paths?
I use Edge Animate to create banner ads for clients. I want to be able to supply the client with the published folder, which they supply to their developers who should be able to put the folder anywhere they choose - almost always not the root (expecting folks to dump all the edge files in the site root is unrealistic, also what if there are multiple edge ads on one page? They need to be in sub-folders).
At the very most, I should just be able to tell them to add the <div> wherever they want the ads to appear, then link up the edgePreload.js script to from wherever they chose to put it, and it should work?
I need an easier way to do this please! Let me know if anybody has a solution.
Thanks

Go ahead and upload the 512 image to your update, not your current app. The 512 image will not show up until Apple releases the update for sale, but make sure that you upload it to the update that is in review. Once you do this in itunes connect you will see your current for sale app with the old 512 and the update with the new 512.
I had this same thing happen to me, Apple told me to update my 512 image to match my new icon, so I did and was glad to see that the change was held until my update was ready for sale.
Screen shots and description text is different though. Any change to a screen shot or description will take effect in a few hours, it does not matter if the change is made to the in review update or the ready for sale app. Hopefully Apple will change this in the future.

Finder locks up when attempting to access files on external drive

HI all,
I am experiencing a sinking feeling at the moment - I have been editing large amounts of video in a particular project and on recent captures I found I only had about 5gb left on my external Maxtor 300gb hard drive, which aborted the last capture, reporting "dropped frames" in final cut pro.
History has shown this happens when the hard drive gets close to running out of space.
I went to finder to delete some unneccessary files but when I try to, finder locks up and does not allow me to access any of the files. I believe this is also to do with the fact that the space is getting low, but how do I get into the files to delete them when finder won't let me do so?
At the same time I am hoping this is not a hard drive failure in the making...
Thanks
David

Ok - for a while there, the hard drive would not come up on the desktop - but now on a re-boot of the compter, or if I disconnect the hard drive and re-connect it, a message comes up with three buttons which say:
Initialize
Ignore
Eject
Sound like the hard drive has died?

When using (web accessed) yahoo email, firefox does not recognize my jump drive on my computer (but i can see when in file manager). Driver issue? Help/links?

I'm using windows 8 and try to attach a file from my jump, but it is not recognized, although I can see it in file manager.

Additional info. After restarting firefox and my computer, I was finally able to get to recognize the device, but now when I upload the file, it says file error and does not properly attach it. Ideas?

Itunes accesses files on external drive but not showing in finder

I'm running OS 10.6.8. I have an external NTFS drive that I read and wirte to using NTFS mounter. I have files that iTunes show are in a folder on the external drive. iTunes will even play the songs. When I navigate to that folder in Finder there are no files displayed. I connected the drive to a PC and navigated to the folder. Windows says the file (folder) is corrupt. How is it possible that iTunes can read the files? How can I get read & write access to my files?

You'll have to try to repair the drive on a PC.
How is it possible that iTunes can read the files?
Some things will still be readable when corruption occurs, the big problem is when writing occurs when there's corruption.

Playing but not copying file from other drive?

How can I play an audio file or a video off an external hard drive connected directly to my mac or accessed over a wireless network without the file being copied to the mac that it is being played on?
Thanks.

Turn off the option in iTunes to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences). Then when you add the track to iTunes, it won't be copied to the internal drive.

MacBook Pro goes to sleep when copying files from attached drives

I have noticed that since installing Yosemite my MacBook Pro goes to sleep when it is in the middle of copying a large number of files. When I wake it up the copying continues.
I have also noticed that when I am watching videos from my shared iTunes library on an Apple TV the video will stop after about 15 minutes and the connection to the library is lost because the MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. When woken up then access to the library is restored but I need to reselect the movie and then resume.
I have changed the power saving options to do not let drives sleep when idle and do not sleep laptop.
Anyone else have any experience of this or better still a fix.
Thanks in advance.

I have just found that if I turn off the display sleep in the power settings then the problem is resolved. It means though that the screen on my MacBook Pro is on all the time albeit with a screen saver.

"result too large" error when accessing files

Hi,
I'm attempting to make a backup copy of one of my folders (using tar from shell). For several files, I got "Read error at byte 0, reading 1224 bytes: Result too large" error message. It seems those files are unreadable. Whatever application attempts to access them results with the same error.
The files reside on the volume that I created a day ago. It's a non-journaled HFS+ volume on external hard drive. They are part of an Aperture Vault that I wanted to make an archive copy and store offsite. Aperture was closed (not running) when I was creating the archive.
This means two things. The onsite backup of my photos is broken, obviously (some of the files are unreadable). My offsite backup is broken, since it doesn't contain those files.
I've searched the net, and found couple of threads on some mailing lists describing same problem. But no answer. Couple of folks on those mailing lists suggested it migh point to full disk. However, in my case, there is some 450GB of free space on the volume I was getting read errors on (the destination volume had about 200GB free, and system drive had about 50GB free, so there was plenty of space all around the system too).
File system corruption?

Accessing that file (or any other from the above list) gives same/similar error. The wording differes from command to command, but basically it's the same thing (read error, or result too large, or both combined). For example:
$ cp IMG_0187.jpg ~
cp: IMG_0187.jpg: Result too large
The console log doesn't show any related errors.

Error code -36 when copying files to certain drives

I want to back up my Aperture Library. I have two external fire wire drives that give me this error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in Aperture Library could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I don't get the error when copying to my Drobo, so I believe this problem is only related to my two fire wire drives. I reformatted one of them using Disk Utility, same problem.

Today I had the same thing happen. I was copying some large (2gb+) video files from a USB2 FAT32 external drive to my other Mac formatted external drives, first time to a firewire 400 and then tried to a USB2. At about 750mb, the transfer stopped and the EXACT same dialog box appeared.
I ran Disk Utility on the source drive USB2 FAT32 to fix drive errors. No improvement.
As I've had issues under SL with my optical FW DVD drives (see that thread for details), I thought may be my FW drives don't like FAT32. So I tried the Mac USB2 drive. Not working either.
Finally, I realized I was routing the FAT32 drive into a cheap unpowered 4 port USB hub (Genesys Logic, Inc. chipset). So I unplugged the hub from the Mac Mini and inserted the FAT32 drive directly into the Mac Mini. Tada! Success was at hand. No problems transferring to either FW or USB drives.
So this tells me there is something flaky about some devices and how they are hooked up. That is the drives and files are OK. It is Snow Leopard that has the bug.
Mike, if you are still having problems and are comfortable using Unix CL, you may be able to use the DD command (so called "Data Dump") to transfer. This is a very robust method to transfer files and permits resumption if a transfer has died midstream. It can even transfer real corrupt files off of damaged disk drives regardless of drive format. I used DD successfully to move files off an eMac that had random hardware crashes (due to faulty counterfeit capacitors) that were interrupting the transfer.

"Access is Denied" when accessing files in the network

Hello developers ,
My JSP application is reading files that reside elsewhere in our LAN (using the "\\\\<some-server>\\<some-shared-folder>\\<some-file>" notation). On my personal Tomcat it works just fine, however the IT deprtment has allocated me a server with a Tomcat installation on it. On this server I get this nasty "Access is Denied" error (with the full pth to the file I'm trying to access from my application). I'm not an administrator on this sevrer (Windows 2000) and only access to the file shre on which I deployed my JSP files.
I tried to search here and came up with this similar problem, but there is no solution :-(
Any advice is welcomed.
Alon.

Hi gimbal2 ,
Thanks for your reply. The thing is that "that server" DOES have access to the file when we logon as an administrator on "that server" and browse to that file using Windows Explorer.
The problem is that once that administrator logs off and the JSP application tries to access the remote file (programmatically, of course), it cannot since "Tomcat" isn't a domain user. It doesn't have priviliges in the domain.
So programmatically we cannot access the file yet as a logged on Windows administrator we can.
Does Tomcat have virtual site or directory like IIS? Doing this we can specify the user and password.
Any clue might help :-)
Thanks,
Alon.

Finder crashes when accessing my external hard drive

I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB external hard drive where I keep a lot of my extra data. Very recently, I can't pin-point exactly when, the hard drive has been causing Finder to crash, most of the time irreparably -- and by irreparably I mean it will crash and I'll try to relaunch it but it won't work, in fact it won't actually relaunch unless I then click the Finder icon (which had no dot under it), after which it will immediately launch into an "Application Not Responding" state.
The reason I believe it is the external hard drive is because I have two computers, both of which have the same problems when doing stuff with the hard drive, and neither have problems when the hard drive isn't plugged in.
Some weird things: I have been accessing an excel document on the drive and have been saving the document this entire time -- before I began to think that it was the hard drive causing these problems. It seems as though I could open that document and save it without any apparent problems. Same sort of thing when I used Ableton Live recently. I could access my sample library on the external drive through Live's browser and it would seem to work just fine. However, with Live, when I tried to save a project it would immediately crash Live (presumably because Live is trying to save via Finder or something?). I can't remember if Finder would subsequently crash or not, but I remember having terrible issues with Finder crashing around the times I would be using Live and trying to save.
I tried doing a Repair Disk on the external through Disk Utility, but after it was showing only the stripey progress bar down at the bottom and only saying "Verifying and Reparing Disk," for a little while I stopped it and tried to quit Disk Utility, only to have Disk Utility crash and now Finder crash as well.
Another couple of things to note. Finder is not able to copy something to or from the external, or move something from the external to the trash. It will be stuck at 0 percent progress and if I press the x it will say "Stopping" and never go away. However when I do that and then just unplug my external I immediatley get a "Disk removed improperly" dialog and Finder will work again right away.

Remove maudio, specifically that com.maudio.usb.fasttrackpro.driver. If you just move that out of /System/Library/Extensions (or if there is an installer) you need to reboot after adding/deleting kext's.
If no software was installed by you then somehow that external got that com.seagate.SeagateStorageGauge.plist installed in your /Library/LaunchAgents. If the maudio removal doesn't change anything then this segat launchagent is the next to go.

Deleting from Library when Video File on hard drive already deleted

I keep getting an error message saying I Tunes must close when I try to update any video content - I have narrowed it down to the fact that a video still resides in my Library with a checkmark next to it, however the actual video file on the hard drive has been deleted. I have tried a right click and clear option, but get the same error message and I tunes closes. How can I remove this from my library??
