Missing one of external HD partitions

I have a 160Gb external drive with two partitions- a backup and an archive. Every year I archive the photos, movies, and music files from that year, so I have thousands of files in the archive.
This evening I was trying to open some old pictures from the archive partition, and I kept getting an error message that I didn't have the necessary permissions. I restarted, since that usually seems to clear up weird bugs, and when it started up the archive partition didn't appear on the desktop, but the backup partition was there. I went to disk utility and the backup partition shows up as a drive, but the archive partition shows up as a blank document. When I click on it, it shows "0 files".
Am I screwed out of 5 years worth of files? Please no please no please no...
help!
iMac G3 600 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Dave_O,
This one is easy
Open Terminal again (in this same account). It looks like you still own the volume, but you have somehow locked yourself out of it with permissions. Copy and paste this into your Terminal window:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chmod u+rwX /Volumes/Archive\ Partition</pre>
then press <RETURN>. If you just return to the prompt, quit Terminal, then log out and back in. If you get some error message, try this one:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chmod u+rwX /Volumes/Archive\ Partition</pre>
Using this second one will require that you enter your admin password. When you are asked, type your admin password (it will not be echoed) and again press <RETURN>. When you return to the prompt, quit Terminal, then log out and back in.
Also, it appears that you have changed the ownership of your startup drive to yourself. NO! Open a Getinfo window for your HD and change its ownership back to "system." The group ownership should be "admin."

Time Machine no longer showing external HD partitions

I have two LaCie external drives attached to an iMac; one is used for Time Machine and the other is a multi-partitioned drive storing photos, movies, and music.
If I bore down through the TM drive within Finder, I see folders for each backup instance and within those, additional folders representing the Mac HD and each individual partition.
Tonight I discovered this "tree" holds true from 2008 right up until Jan 2011 when only the iMac drive and the top level partition (one of five) have folders.
Alarmed that I may not have archived all my partitions during the last two-three years I first confirmed in Preferences that only the TM drive is excluded from backup by default. I then opened Time Machine and navigated to mp3s that I knew to be ripped and deleted from one of the invisible partitions earlier this year, well after the 2011 mark. Time Machine restored without a problem, from where I don't know.
My guess was a change happened in the way the software was writing the file, maybe labeling the partitioned drive with the first partition? However my "Photo" drive mirrors that partition exactly, no sub folders of music and video.
Anyone have clues as how to make that data visible? My concern is I'm wanting to insure all files are backed up, erase the external and create fewer partitions, before restoring files from TM. Will I be able to easily navigate to those files in TM to restore on a clean install when that partition doesn't exist anymore? Luckily I've only had to use the backup program a handful of times, dumping the occasional file in the same directory it originated from so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

I re-partitioned my HD and now Time Machine doesn't back it up/duplicate it the way it is now set up. My new info is not being backed up. The most current backup displays what my HD looked like before the new partition I made. Anyone know what's going on?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if you mean the backup runs and completes normlly, but only backs up a few bytes, you may have the unfixed bug in pink type in #D5 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). If not, try the other things there.

Pondini, I beseech thee....Time Machine won't back up external drive partitions

Pondini (or anyone else that would like to help),
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5. At my edit bay, we utilize a Facilis Terrablock 24D for storage, which connects to our system via fibre cables. Before upgrading to 10.7.5, Time Machine would back up all of our drive partitions on the Terrablock. Since the upgrade, Time Machine still recognizes the drives, we can add or subtract files from the drives, and it appears to make and save the changes, but when Time Machine backs up, it will only back up the local hard drive. No error messages come up. It just does its thing but only for the local HD.
All of the drive partitions are Mac OS Extended Journaled. All of the permissions seem to be in order.
I have contacted Facilis and their technical support claims that they never tested their products with Time Machine (as they sell their own backup equipment) but in theory that it should work.
I'm not sure what other information you might need but please let me know and I'll do my best. I was wondering if anyone else has come across an issue like this? Thank you for your time.

Upon including this partition and all of its contents, it disappears from the exclusion list as it should AND its size is reflected in the Estimated size of full backup. But this is the kicker! Upon clicking "Save" and starting Time Machine's backup, I receive the error "Time Machine could not complete the backup. There are no disks available to be backed up." Upon going back into TM Preferences > Options, I find that the external drive / partition has been put back on the Exclusion list. It's like it is automatically rejecting the partition after I have saved my exclusion list.
That's quite strange.
TM does that if you try to back up a USB Thumb drive (I've filed a bug report), but this is the first I've heard of it under any other circumstances. Then again, I don't recall a post by anyone trying to back up from a drive connected this way.
If a drive isn't formatted for a Mac (ie, FAT32, ExFat, NTFS, etc), Time Machine cannot back it up, and will list it in gray on the exclusion list (same as the backup drive), and won't let you remove it from the list, so it's clear.
This sounds like a "cousin" of the way it treats a thumb drive, so sure seems like a bug. TM will back up USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt drives without a problem, if they're formatted right.
If you have any Macs under 90 days old, or covered by AppleCare, a call to them is free, and the best way to get a quick answer (you may have to escalate to a "specialist" however, and it still may take a few days for something unusual). Otherwise it's $50 U.S.
An alternative is to file a Bug Report, per the green box in Reporting a Problem to Apple. That most likely won't get a response for quite a while, though.
Sorry, wish I had a fix!
Let us know what, if anything, you find out.

I'd like to know how can i connect my old iMac tiger with new one iMac lion. I wanna use the old one for external disk to collect files from there to new one.

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

Thanks,

Issue on deployment: Solution Deployment : Missing one or more of the following attributes from the root node in solution .wsp: assembly '', type ''

Hi,
I have the following issue when deploying:
Solution Deployment : Missing one or more of the following attributes from the root node in solution .wsp: assembly '', type ''
The solution is a farm solution (was never sandbox) and it deploys fine.
It was updated several times with success. We did not see this issue until recently when we had some other issue (unrelated) and looked at the logs. The solution is updated without problem and updates are available for the user. But we can see this error
in the logs at the update time.
Any idea what might cause this?
Pop Anisia

Hi，
This error is wide meaning, as it can come from differences between SP versions, variables types used, bad manifest file, WebConfiguration ...
You can try to redeploy the solution.
retracted the solution,removed all the previous ref, removed dll from GAC and folder from 14\features and reset the iis, deploying it again.
Here are some similar issue post, you can use as a reference:

Three different current inputs on AIO-610 - one with external PS, two without

On our AIO 610 module, we'd like to use a few different current inputs
from pyrometers. One of the pyrometers requires an external power
supply, while the other one does not (there are two different outputs
from this one). When we wire them up, we get an out-of-range
error on one of the inputs (one without external PS). The manual
says they are not electrically isolated.
I'm assuming we're out of luck on this one. Is that correct?

Hi,
The AIO 610 can only accept current inputs in a +/- 20 mA range. So if your pyrometer is supplying more than 20 mA, then you will receive that out of range error. I would double check what range of current this pyrometer is outputting and then you will be able to see if it's within the specification for the FieldPoint module. If the current is over 20mA, then you have the option of putting in external circuitry, such as a current divider to make the current within specifications. It would probably be a good idea to check with the manufacturer of the pyrometer as well.

Hal L.

New ITunes...systematically misses one file when updating TAGS of an album

With the latest version of ITunes (811) I am confronted with an annoying behaviour.
I like to have comprehensive TAGS when I import an album...proper GENRE, name of ARTIST, YEAR, album COVER and so on. So I always verify, and if necessary update the tags.
Now, with ITunes 811, it always misses one of the tracks from the list of tracks I want to change.Consequently, I need to select this track and perform the complete cycle of Tag editing again...twice as much work, and a genuine irritation.
Any solution, known bug?
Thank
Patrick

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...
The original poster of this thread says it started on iTunes 8.11...well I'm using iTunes 10.1.2.17 and it's still doing it for me and has been for AGES. It is really frustrating. I highlight a whole album and add all the tag info because I am really pedantic about all of it being organized and all with proper names, artwork, etc.. Not every time but I'd say fluctuating between 50-100% of the time and normally about 90% of the time it will miss tag updates on one of the tracks. Normally the last one or towards the end of the album but it could be any, really. So what I do is I highlight the album, update the tags, click ok. Then before I even check if there's one track that didn't get the updates, I just immediately click 'Get Info' on all of them again and sure enough the tags will be empty on all the ones I just updated. This is because one track didn't get the updates so iTunes sees the selections as having one or more different values. So I put in all the values again. This could happen for any of the tags I update, including album artwork. So basically, when I do tag updates for an entire album I just always do the updates twice. I could search through and find the actual track missing the updates but I've found that this takes even more time. On the off chance that when I click 'Get Info' the second time and see that all the tags are updated I then jut hit cancel and move on, as I clearly don't need to put the tag updates a second time. But that hardly ever happens.
What's interesting is that before, without fail, one track would miss the updates and all the updates I did. So if I updated Artist, Album and Genre then one track would miss them all. Now sometimes the one track that missed the updates will pick up one or more of the tag updates but not all. This is actually more frustrating because it means when I highlight the entire album for the second time it gets confusing because my eye will quickly catch that some of the tags were updated, leading me to believe that 100% of the tracks caught the updates that first time but really if I look more closely I see that a couple of the tags didn't get updated.
There's actually a few buggy little issues like this in iTunes that I've noticed haven't gotten fixed over update after update after update of iTunes from Apple. I don't get it....
Also, why can't you add MULTIPLE artwork to more than one file at once? If you highlight an entire album and want to add the artwork for the front and back and CD of the album, then you have to choose one, and only one, picture which will obviously be the artwork for the front of the CD. Then, I used to manually go through all the tracks, go to the Artwork tab and then add the back or other CD artwork files. Now I just add the front artwork to all of them together, then click only the first track and add all additional artwork to only track one.
iTunes also has a little bug where many times after doing a search and it coming up with a list of music, such as "The Beatles", it will take about five seconds before it will let me scroll down the list and sometimes will take about five seconds before it will let me see the mouse pointer on the iTunes window. Anywhere else on either monitor I can see the mouse pointer but as I move it across the iTunes window it disappears until it pops out the other side as I keep moving my mouse.
I could keep going with this list but this thread is really only supposed to pertain to the first thread's topic so I've probably already said too much. We can't keep meeting up like this anymore or they'll find out.
Anyway, so that's that...

TS1424 Who do I contact in regards to a faulty album download? Specifically, a duplicate track and a missing one that is available as "album only"

Who do I contact in regards to a faulty album download? Specifically, a duplicate track and a missing one that is available as "album only"

Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to try 'redownloading' it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Purchased album, but missing one song

I recently bought an album, Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles and it is missing one song. On iTunes, there is only 17 songs, but on the actual album, there is 18. I looked on their site and also my friend has the album. What can I do do get the full album? I tried emailing Apple but I'd like to see if somebody here could help me. Also has anybody else dealt with this situation before?
Thanks.

I'd suggest you contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. They should at least mark it as a partial album, and of course get the track titles sorted (they may have come that way from the record company).

Missing one little piece of audio.

Hello all,
maybe someone can help me. I have encoded video and audio in FCP using Compressor into MPEG 2, using the 60 minute high quality encode.
i import these assets into DVD SP and when i burn a dvd off DVD SP, i am missing one little snippet of a sound effect.
when i play it back in the viewer in DVD SP, the sound effect is there, when i play it back in FCP the sound effect is there as well. it is ONLY missing after i do a dvd burn.
I have successfully burned a dvd from the same video and audio source before w/nothing missing.
i went back into FCP to make sure that the sound effect is included for the encode and found everything to be ok.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Can anyone help me?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2) DVD SP 2.0

One, viewing a PDF is not part of the DVD specification, so you won't be able to do that from Encore at all
Second, sound goes with the menu in a DVD, so changing to a different menu means new sound
To view a PDF on a disc, you need to do computer programming... or, maybe, one of these products
Use Encore and http://www.intellidisc.com/ for a "movie" DVD which has computer content,
or use Macromedia Director http://www.adobe.com/products/director/ by itself
Or use Sony DVD Studio http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/dvdastudio

Missing one Font "Showcard Gothic"!

I have a new PC, old was Win 7 new is Win 8. I'm missing one font "Showcard Gothic", where I can downloaded from? I also saw from FAQ: Fonts changed when changing OS! Is that true?
I contacted Tech support in Microsoft to see the availability of the font, and I have been told that Photoshop use their own fonts!! Please help. Thanks.
OK, I contacted Adobe Photoshop Tech support, and the response was: The font you are referring to, don't come with the operating system or in Photoshop CS6. Photoshop utilize any available fonts from any other software installed on the same PC. In my case the font "Showcard Gothic" was available in my old PC from Microsoft Office 2010. Currently, in my new PC I purchased Office 2013, which it don't have that font.
The solution: deactivate MS Office 2010 from old PC, and install it in new PC. You don't have to use MS Office 2010 in the new PC, but the fonts that comes with it will be available to Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Gee, I thought if I upgraded everything to the latest and the greatest, everything will be wonderful...wrong.
I hope my experience with this matter will help someone reading this post, and saving them time searching for a solution. My wife always tells me, when I upgrade anything "No, I don't want it. I want only ON and OFF". :>

There are many fonts that come with your OS (Windows 7 or 8). Other applications will install extra fonts when you install them.
In your case, Showcard Gothic does not come with your OS. Nor does it come with Adobe products. Instead it comes from Microsoft Office products.
When you started working on the new computer, it did not have all of the same applications installed, including the fact that is was missing any applications that would install Showcard Gothic. You need to install an application on your new computer that includes Showcard Gothic. Here is a list provided by Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=599
Photoshop and other Adobe products will allow you to use the fonts that are installed on your system. If the font is not installed on your system, you will not be able to use it in Photoshop.
The information you were given previously is correct and that fact that you do not have Showcar Gothic installed on your new computer has nothing to do with Photoshop or Adobe.

Missing one single Genius-Mix on iPhone

Hi together,
I'm missing one single Genius-Mix on my iPhone 3GS (latest iOS-Version). In my iTunes (latest version) I've got 6 Genius-Mixes, on my iPhone there are only 5 ones; one is missing.
I have this problem for weeks. Automatic synchronization is turned on.
That's what I tried:
- synchronizing
- actualizing Genius
- deactivating Genius, sync, activating Genius, sync
- manual synchronization, only missing Mix selected -> no mix on iPhone
Hope anyone can help. I found someone having the same problem in the web.
Thanks in advance.

On your iPhone go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. This will erase all contacts from your iPhone.
Wait a minute or two followed by turning Contacts back on.
