Photos on G Drive Mobile USB Problem

A couple years ago I transferred photos from iPhoto to a GDrive Mobile USB for storage. Today when I tried to access them I get an error and none of them will open. Is this because I am running a newer version of iPhoto now? If so, how can I access them now on my MacBook Pro? OSX 10.9.1

You have old iPhoto libraries on that DDrive Mobile?
How is the EHD formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled).
What version of iPhoto created the library?
What version of iPhoto are you running now?
What error message do you get?

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.

How to save all photos in IPHOTO to an external drive or USB?

How do I save my all the photos in my IPHOTO to an external drive or USB?

to an external drive or USB?
Before you copy the library to the external drive, make sure it has the correct file system. The file system needs to be MacOS Extended (Journaled). If the drive has a different file system,, save the content to a different drive and reform the drive, just like described in this document for Aperture:
Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

How can i download a mobile usb driver?

My hard drive recently crashed and I have had to redownload everything. I have downloaded itunes, but when I try and hook up my ipod it says I need an apple mobile USB driver. How can I download that driver?

You can either use the manufacturer-supplied driver or NI-VISA to control your USB device but not both. If you have installed your device, each time you plug it in the FTD2XX.inf will associate your device with FTD2XX.sys. Then, you can use FTD2XX.dll to talk to your device using the call library function node. The DLL usually contains a whole bunch of useful functions that someone else already designed to talk to your device. This is the easier route and I would recommend it if you already have the DLL and the installed driver.
The second method would be to uninstall or disable the driver for your device and create an .inf file with NI-VISA Driver development wiazard. This .inf file will tell Windows to use VISA as your device driver. You will, however need the vendor and product ID of the device to use VISA as your driver. The details of this are outlined in the NI document "Using VISA 3.0 to control your USB device."
The drawback of this method is that VISA is just an API to talk to your device and you have to implement the communication protocol to talk to your device. This might take some time to do.
This is why I recommend the first method. Someone else already implemented the driver for your and you just have to use the functions from the dll to implement your application.
Hope this helps.

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 USB Hard Drive causes menu problem - menu items flash

Greetings:
I have a external USB hard drive (250 GB) that is partitioned into 3 hard drives. Two hard drives are formatted in MacOS standard and one is formatted in MacOS extended. I had to reformat the last drive in MacOS extended because the Macbook would not let me edit files on the drive.
The problem is that when I connect to the drives, the menu malfunctions (I cannot see the date and time and the menu items flash). Dismounting the drives solves the problem.
Do I need to reformat the hard drives? Or do I need a new USB drive?
Thank you.

Hmm, someone else had a similar problem. Note the ":: Loading root filesystem module...-e" line. That "-e" shouldn't be there. It should be, instead, the module for the filesystem.
As a workaround for right now, you can add your filesystem module to the MODULES array, and remove the "filesystems" hook.
In that case, you'll probably want rootdelay=* to allow the drive some time to settle, and rootfstype=* to speed up filesystem detection while in kinit.
By the way, what filesystem do you have on that machine? Can you tell me what
/usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype < /dev/sda1
outputs on a running system (you may need to be root, or add yourself to the "disk" group or something similar) - /dev/sda1 should be replaced if the usb drive is not sda1

New imac doesn't locate old imac hard drive via usb port

I have an old iMac from ~2006 that recently stopped reading the harddrive. I pulled the HD out and connected it to my new imac via USB port but I can't locate it. The HD spins/powers up so I know the connector is strong enough to supply power. We connected it to my husband's PC and he can see that there is a harddrive but cannot see any files to read. He even tried Catacombe to try to read files but it didn't work. My first issue is how can I locate my HD on the new mac? But the main issue is how can I pull data/pictures off of the old harddrive and import them to my new computer. I don't hear any clicking sounds from the harddrive so it seems to be working. I can't reformat it because I don't want to lose the pictures on it. I don't need the old harddrive to work/write. I just need to pull the information off of it. TIA.

I was not familiar with catacombae , but now I am .
You have a problem with either a corrupt file system on the hd or a hardware problem with the hd. I'd say try mounting in disk utility. Try reparing filesystem on hd. Try one of the disk repair utilities. Some have a free trail that let's you know if they can do anything. You pay to get the data. Seek profession help. Pay $$$.

My G-drive mobile is only recognized ocassionally.

It will always be recognized and mounted when I plug in with USB. However when I use the firewire 800 port, it will only see it occasionally. Does anyone know how I can make sure that every time I plug it in with firewire, it gets recognized?

FWIW, I have two 1T G drive mobile disks. On both my Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro, the US 2 works fine with the expected read/write speeds. When I connect using the Firewire 800 ports, the read/write speed is quite slow. The speed is comparable to the USB 2 speeds or a bit less. This happens on both computers, different cables and different computer ports. It also happens with both G drives. I called the G drive tech support and was told that the Firewire should be 2-3 times faster than the USB 2. There maybe something flaky about the G drive interface. For the record, I also use several 500GB G mini drives with Firewire 800 with the expected performance implying that problems with my computers is less likely than some issue with the mobile drives.
