  • Hard drive and Lion problems

    Since trying to do the Lion update on Weds my iMac has been playing up, basically when i going into disk utility and run "verify disk" i get error messages telling me to insert my OS X install cd so that i can repair the hard drive, i do this and when i try to repair the hard drive it tells me it cannot do it and that i need to wipe the hard drive and re install OS X form the cd. Ive done that twice since Weds and both times after ive installed the OS and then run disk verify it comes up telling me the same massages as before. The iMac was bought in March, ive looked after it so i cant see how there are problems. Its still under 1 year guarantee so do i take it back and get a replacement? Also when installer lion it tells me it something to do with 'no recovery' can anyone help me with this im fairly new to mac so keep it easy for me

    Did you upgrade to Lion?  If so, repair your internal HD from the Recovery HD.   See Using the Recovery HD. (but you may not have one, because of the other message.)
    If you're still on Snow Leopard, and Disk Utility can't repair the file system, it's possible a 3rd-party Disk Repair app like DiskWarrior, can.  It's about $100, though, and there's no guarantee.
    Another option, if you have backups (you should, you know):  erase the drive and restore them.
    The "no recovery" problem is likely because of the problem on your internal HD.  See:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649?viewlocale=en_US

    The real files have to be available to iTunes (the USB HD has to be connected) otherwise Shuffle will "update" by erasing them. That's the way it is...

  • External Drive and Vista problems

    I recently got an external drive with the intentions of keeping my iTunes library on it. So far I have had nothing but problems. In the advance prefs. I set the music folder location to my external drive. To test it, I would rip a CD to iTunes (which is installed on the C drive). Sure enough, the library would be in the folder that I designated it in the ex. drive. My problem is that when I open iTunes, it creates a folder under Music on the C drive which contains the library with the ripped CD. Whats the point of putting it on an ex. drive if it automatically puts it in a folder on my computer? Its frustrating because I set the path of the library to my ex. drive. Why is it also putting a copy of the library on my computer under a music folder? Is it a "Vista" thing or an iTunes problem? I need to get this sorted out because I would eventually like to put my whole library (backed up onto discs) into the library only on my external drive before I purchase a new iPod soon. I dont want any music on my C drive because I need the space.

    You know what? I figured this out myself the next day with a solution that I haven't seen anywhere else. I understood all the operations of consolidating libraries to seperate drives, but what was creating the problem was vista's fantastic ability to stick anything ripped into the owner/music folder despite where the library path is pointed. The answer was so obvious and simple. I went into the advanced prefs. and changed the library path back to the default owner/music folder. Then I right clicked the owner/music short cut in the start menu, selected properties and made the whole "my music" folder located on the external drive. Now when I plug in my external drive and open windows, the library is pulled from the music folder on the external drive and runs like normal. When I remove the drive and open iTunes, it gives me an error that the library cant be found. When I right click properties on the music icon in the start menu, it says it takes up zero bytes, which is exactly what I want. Its funny how I utilized the problem to get what I wanted.

  • If you use external hard drives and have problems, read this

    My setup is :
    Power Book G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.10, with the latest version of iTunes.
    Since I have a huge amount of music, that I have aquired during the past 25 years, I was very excited, when finally an iPod with a decent HD was released.
    As you know, 70,000+ songs will not fit on your internal HD in a Power Book, so I had to move my music collection to two external Firewire HDs.
    Synching a subset of my 'overall collection' to my good old G3 iPod has never been an issue.... that was, until I hooked up my 160 GB iPod classic for the first time...
    I ran into all kinds of issues, especially, when synching a huge amount of songs at one time (i.e. 26,000 songs and more).
    The data on the iPod would be incomplete or corrupted, once the Synch was completed.
    The iTunes helpdesk was clueless and had me restore my iPod, even after I have told them several times, that I have done this before (many times) and that this definitely was not the issue.
    As mentioned in other threads, iTunes is unbearably slow, once a 160 GB iPod classic is connected. And as it turns out, the problem occures when transferring songs through this VERY slow application, from the firewire drives, to the iPod which is connected through USB. After a certain amount of songs, iTunes starts 'stuttering' (if I have to look at the 'spinning wheel' for another 15 minutes, I will lose my mind) and somehow the data transfer between iTunes and the iPod gets corrupted.
    Hence, once the Sync is finally completed (we are talking about 5 hours), the iPod is no longer able to play any songs, and all that can be done, is resetting the iPod again and start from scratch.
    How Apple missed this, during their beta testing, is beyond me. They probably only used the latest intel processors on their fastest machines.
    So if you run into similar issues, and if you have a similar setup, you might want to start synching small batches of songs.
    I hope, a fine tuned iTunes version will be released soon.

    When I first experienced this problem it appeared as though everything was transferring correctly. The progress dialogue showed that I was transferring a few thousand songs and then stop. When I looked at the ipod it showed only a few hundred (if that) had been transferred. This was about a year ago that I had this problem.
    I think what is happening is that the software is setting up the transfer but not actually transferring the files until the very end. Seems weird I know, but the problem was consistent. It only happened when I had the setting to transfer the album art selected.
    Apple was no help. But when I plugged the sync cable directly into the computer everything worked fine. I would think that a good powered hub would work as well as being plugged directly into the computer, or at least using the outlets on the back of my Apple display, but that is not the case.
    I don't know what to suggest about USB 1. Before USB 2, Apple used firewire with all of their ipods because USB was sooo slow. When USB caught up (or close enough) they changed the interface.
    You might try unselecting the option to sync album art. I know that the new interface looks pretty ugly without it, but at least you would have your music.

  • Dell Audigy 2 and Windows SP3 driver and static problems

    SB0243
    Ok, Creative you and Dell have left us customer behind and giving us the shaft.
    I know you tell us to go to Dell to get drivers, and Dell still has the same driver posted they had when i bought my PC in 2003.
    Funny thing is that the only driver i find that work without the static problem is the one from the creative CD from 2003. The only catch is that none of the other sound Apps will install or work with windows SP3. So you end up with a card that has sound without static but only in two speaker mode, no mixer, EAX, CSMM, sound bank, etc... you know all the other stuff.
    I have installed Danial K driver at one time and they worked good for months then the static came back one day. Now after a fresh install of windows with SP3 i end up here with only the old driver working with just two speakers.
    This is very sad that a big company like creative can not create a driver that works with current software. You need to fire all your programmer and go hire two with all the money you paid everyone else and maybe then these two top programmer might be able to make something that works. This has become a joke in the sound industry.
    It was said that this ship is sinking, i think it has sunk at this point, us rats are jumping ship to some other card that works. Most likey it is not going to be from creative.
    Rainey

    ?Hey, I cant get CMSS to work here, im on windows 7 32bit, wich CMSS version are you using? I cannot open THX Console or EAX Console.

  • UserEventAgent won't let me eject my external hard drive, and other problems

    I'm running a MacBook Pro (2008-ish model) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with 4Gb of RAM and 750Gb of internal HD (the original 250Gb seriously cramped my style), and UserEventAgent is acting all weird.
    Because of that old 250Gb HD, I was in the habit of storing files I didn't need at the time on an external hard drive, a LaCie 500Gb connected by FW800 (probably not relevant). And lately, whenever I plug it in, I can't eject it without forcing it to eject.
    Using the "list open files" command and searching for that drive [ lsof | grep LaCie ] reveals that UserEvent drops an immediate hook in it for some reason. This connection is immediate, and short of force-quitting UserEventAgent in Activity Monitor at the exact moment I try to eject that drive, I can't disconnect it properly without forcing it or shutting down completely.
    In fact, looking at UserEventAgent's open files and ports in Activity Monitor, something just plain doesn't look right:

    Help? Please?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”. 
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4

    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Oracle JDBC Thin Driver and Firewall Problem

    Hi!
    We have Oracle 8.1.5 and Websphere App Server. There is a
    firewall between the two. A servlet creates a connection pool
    (not that of Wesphere's). The frontend is JSP/HTML (no applets).
    The servlet uses the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for DB Connections.
    The problem is - Once the connection is freed, the connection
    pool is not being able to retrieve it and hence it created
    another one, thus reaching the max. # of connections and the
    system hangs. Restarting the DB service flushes the connection
    and the application starts running again...
    There was a similar problem discussed in this forums long ago. I
    have not yet tried mentioning the firwall port and IP in the
    connection string. But apart from that, is there any other
    setting I need to do (on firewall or for the connectionstring)
    to deal with this problem?
    Someone had suggested to punch a hole in the firewall for the DB
    port - but we can not really do that in the current scenario...
    I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience
    regarding how they resolved this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vijaya.

    One more question -
    Can we use Oracle JDBC OCI driver? We do not have any appletes...
    Does it have firewall issues too? Is there any other driver that
    we can use?
    Thanks,
    Vijaya.

  • File copy with 2 IDE Drive and Soundblaster problem

    Hi,
    When i try to copy large files my system will usually lock (windows totally freezes, the only solution is to do a hard reset). I cut the problem down to beeing an issue with my sound blaster live platinum 5.1.
    Everything is working fine when I remove the soundblaster.
    I read somewhere that this problem was known with former motherboard with VIA chipset like KT133 but I was hoping it had been fixed since then...
    Here's my config :
    KT6 Delta 2 FISR
    Athlon Barton 2500+
    512 Mo  RAM
    2 IDE Drive (not on the same IDE connector)
    Creative Live Sound Blaster Platinum 5.1 (CT4830)
    I have upgraded all the possible drivers : VIA4in1 (v4.51), latest BIOS upgrade (E6590v2.0), latest creative drivers....
    I tried a lot of different settings in the BIOS (PCI latency, PCI bus mastering etc...)
    This is really anoying...
    Please help !!!

    change pci latency to 96.
    change "system performance setting" within DRAM settings to "FAST"
    you could also;
    try changing "System Bios Cachable" to "Enabled"
    and change "C000 Shadow" to "Cacheable"
    im using all those above settings, and thats with ALOT of drives attached as well, and ive been copying 20+GB files all over the place including over network drives.

  • Printer driver and USB problems

    Hello,
    I have the Photosmart C4780 printer and scanner, and have been running into issues. My computer (vaio duo 13) runs Windows 8.1 64-bit. 
    When I connect it by USB, a message pops up saying that Windows does not recognize the device, and that it has malfunctioned. I thought it might be a driver problem, so I downloaded the PS_AIO_06_C4700_140_408 file. After clicking it, it would start extracting, but would exit as soon as it hits 100%. I waite for at least ten minutes, and no further windows came up to continue installation. I did this a couple times, all with the same result. The simple driver does not work either, and the Print and Scan doctor just tells me to download the file I mentioned above. I also attempted to reinstall, but there were no files that I could find for the printer.
    I am at a loss for what could be the problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I have exact same problem with Lenovo Yoga 11s.
    Driving me insane, and printer will soon be dispached through my window.

  • External hard drive and itunes problem

    I've had real trouble with my external logitec USB 2 (that's the japanese logitec not LOGITECH) hard drive.
    I had my itunes music folder on it, and when i connected my shuffle and tried to transfer songs, itunes would usually freeze. so i transferred all the songs onto my ibook instead and it works fine as long as the external drive isn't connected, BUT get this: if i have the harddrive connected to my ibook, itunes will freeze when i try to transfer tunes from my ibook to my shuffle. i don't get it. unless my ibook is confusing the two drives? sorry, i don't know much about this. i've tried reinstalling itunes and i have the latest version. i've also reformatted my shuffle. but no luck.
    any ideas???
    thanks!
    David.

    Nick,
    I am by no means an iTunes guru and I haven't come across this problem myself.....but this is what I would try.
    Select all of the songs in your iTunes library and delete them from the library only.
    File > Add Folder to Library > browse to your folder on your external and hit OK
    I have to do this every time I add new songs to my MP3 folder, as iTunes can't figure out that most of these songs already exist in the library. It then decides to make multiple instances of the same song and therefore showing that I have tons of duplicate songs.
    If you need this for transferring your music to your iPod, then by all means more power to you.
    If you are doing this to play your music only, then I strongly suggest looking into purchasing a different music player. I personally use Musicmatch Jukebox for several reasons;
    1. It allows the user to sort thier music library in MANY different ways using various criteria (not just one option to sort music).
    2. It allows for many more fields for your ID3 meta tags, so you can have featured artists shown on compilation CD's.
    3. It's been around for a LONG time and incorporates the feedback they receive from the customers.
    4. You now have the option to buy it with all future updates in one price.
    Hope that this helps you out....
    Cheers

  • External Hard Drive and iTunes problems

    I have an external hard drive with all my music on it. When I am starting up iTunes it is coming up with a list of all the songs but when you try to play them it says it couldn't locate the file do you want to locate it... I want to have it so that I don't have to copy music onto my PC as I have 80GB of music on the external HDD and only a 40GB internal hard drive. I have already set the path in preferences to the external HDD but am frustrated that I have to keep searching for songs before they can be played... Please help!!

    The original error message means that the file was moved from the location where iTunes first learned about the song. You can't move files around after iTunes knows about them without encountering this issue. The only way to fix it is to put the files back where iTunes expects them to live, and then let iTunes manage the relocation as described here.

  • BF2 disk drive and installation problems (Windows XP Home on a MBP)

    So I've taken the leap and installed Windows XP Home on my MacBook Pro. It makes me cringe.
    It was not an easy process. Installing Windows took me about 4 hours. There would be an error, I would have to eject the disk, reboot, and the promised 39 minutes seemed to be 5 times slower than it actually was. By the time I got Windows installed it seemed to be running ok, until yesterday.
    Yesterday, I tried to install Battlefield 2 Deluxe Edition onto Windows. I inserted the first disc (1 of 5) and my MBP spit it right back out. This happened almost 10 times until finally when viewing "My Computer", the MBP accepted the disk. I then started to install. It froze up a couple of times, so I restarted. Same problem: the MBP wouldn't accept the disk. It finally did, I started install and it finally went. And then, about 4 or 5 percent of the way in, it stopped and said somethign along the lines of "BF2 installation failed, please restart install from the beginning". I did, and got the same message.
    Any ideas?

    Now that I have thought about it, I would have to guess that the problem is my SuperDrive.
    That would attain for the slow Windows Installation and the BF2 problems.
    I also am having problems importing a CD into iTunes. Seems like enough of a problem to make a visit to the Apple store.

  • Hard drive and conversion problem

    Does anyone know why when I convert the mts file to apple pro res my HD-LBU2 hd won't take the large file when like 6 gigs and above.  It will convert onto my Macbook Pro desktop fine.  Then when I try to drag it into the harddrive it won't take it.  I tried toast and another software.

    Your hard drive is formatted for use on a PC/Windows machine.
    Use Disk Utility's ERASE function to change the hard drive format to MacOS Extended. Disk Utility is found in Applications>Utilities.
    Be aware erasing and reformatting deletes everything on the hard drive.
