Problem using iPod as encrypted disk for G4 Backup

i have created an encrypted disk image on my iPod for backing up my G4 desktop folder. works like a charm. however, OSX limits the size of this disk image to 500MB when it is created using Disk Utility. that is unfortunate since my desktop folder is larger than that. the iPod has 14 Gigs of memory available and i would like the encrypted disk to be larger. is there any way to modify this limitation?
many thanks

In disk utility when you select "new image", it should give you the option, size, where you can select from various preset sizes or create your own custom size. Try creating the image you your local drive first then copy it to your ipod.

    i hadn't seen the "custom" item in the menu for selecting a size other than what the computer was suggesting. all better now.....

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

  • My 2011 MBP has begun running slow with frequent 'spinning beach ball' events. I'm running Yosemite and wondered if I should of use the original install disk for maintenance.

    My 2011 MBP has begun running slow with frequent 'spinning beach ball' events. I'm running Yosemite and wondered if I should of use the original install disk for a maintenance reinstall. I presume I'd have to download Yosemite again, though I'd be happy just using Snow Leopard again too.

  • Problem using ipod with itunes 5.0.1

    Could anyone help me?? I'm having serious problems using my ipod mini with my "just downloaded" itunes 5.0.1.
    it says that my comunication software with ipod is not correctly installed and that i have to reinstall itunes again. i did it the problem is always there. what can i do?? can someone help me??

    Man, it seems that iTunes 5.whatever has gotten us all a little hot under the collar. I'm back up and running...this is what I did...I hope it helps some of you out.
    1) created a new folder in MyMusic and copied everything from my iTunes library to the new folder. I then tested a few songs to make sure they still played (you never know)
    2) I deleted iTunes using the control panel selection Add/Delete programs. I emptied the recycle gin and then did a search to see that iTunes was no longer there.
    3) I went to filehippo.com to download iTunes 4.8 (my original disks are packed (Thank you to poster Allison for the filehippo.com suggestion).
    4) I copied all my songs back into iTunes from where I had stored them in the new folder I created in MyMusic)
    5) I connected the iPod Mini and opened iTunes and darn if it STILL didn't recognize the iPod
    6) I did a restore on the iPod
    7) I reconnected the iPod and had to reregister it and Voila! it worked again!!!!
    Whatever the new features were in ver. 5.01, they were NOT worth the hassle I've experienced over the past two weeks. I'll stick with version 4.8 for awhile.

  • Using ipod as hard disk

    I use my ipod's hard disk to transfer music from my office pc to my home pc. I decided not to delete the iTunes Music Folder from the ipod's hd in case my PC's hd crashed. Is this recommended? I only have 6GB of music downloaded so space is not an issue (for now).
    Also, I like to know if using ipod during flights is ok? I know that using cellphones are not allowed but how abt ipod?

    Hi Larien,

  • Using iPod as a disk (and only a disk)

    I've got an iPod 4G, connected to Leopard. I want to use this as an ordinary external usb drive. I'm positive I've done this before (used to to beta test Leopard actually).
    Anyway, I'm having some trouble doing it again. In Disk Utility I've selected my iPod's drive and tried either partitioning it (to 1 new partition) or erasing it (and thereby reformatting it) and both times I get an "I/O Error". I've tried all three options for partition type (GUID/MBR/etc) but same thing every time.
    The iPod is in disk mode (forced), and I've quit iTunes (and iTunesHelper), to make sure it's not interfering.
    Any ideas?

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Using ipod as a disk

    I just got an iPod classic 160 to replace a broken one. This one seems to work a little differently than the old one (I guess it's newer thinner model). I used to use the old one as a disk to move files from my laptop to my iMac. The iPod is syched to my iMac. When I plug it into my laptop it comes up but then says you can now disconnect before I have a chance to copy the files. With the old one it would come up on the desktop of the laptop and I would double click the iPod icon to open it up, drag the files into the window and it would copy. Then I would eject the iPod from iTunes (where it did not sync) and plug it into the iMac and drag the files onto the desktop of the iMac, and they would copy. Then drag them out of the iPod window and empty the trash and all was fine. What changed or what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help.
    Another question. Does using the iPod as a disk shorten the life of the iPod? I'm moving about 16 gigs of data (I leave enough space on the iPod so I can do this).

    Does the iPod still appear on your laptops Desktop (or in Computer if it's a PC) as an externally mounted drive?
    Does using the iPod as a disk shorten the life of the iPod?
    No.

  • Use iPod as hard disk & listen to music?

    Is it possible to use your iPod as a Hard Disk & be able to listen to the music on it?
    Like, if you wanna save your music JUST INCASE your computer crashes ALL OF A SUDDEN, but you still want to be able to listen to music and enjoy your iPod & not just have it sitting there as an extra hard drive.
    Does anybody know if it is possible to do both?
    And if so, How?
    5th Generation 30GB   Windows XP  

    Wrong.
    Of course you can use your ipod as a hard disk as well as using it as an iPod to play music. There is nothing wrong with this at all.
    There is one downside. The content will take up twice as much space on your iPod.
    You'll need to sync your content to the iPod using itunes -AND- copy it manually to another folder using the iPod as a hard disk.
    So, the answer really is YES, you can use your iPod as music player, and a hard disk for all of your content as long as your library takes up less than half the total capacity of your iPod hard drive.
    Additioanlly, there are ways to copy the content off your iPod even when it's not being used as a hard disk. It requires third-party software, but it's possible. Thats another topic altogether.

  • HEADS UP!  If your using AE and Air Disk for Backups

    Guys
    Quick background, Air Port Extreme, 1 TB WD drive in a Newer Technology Quad interface case. Airport in 5GHz mode wide channel.
    I have been diligently testing my Airport Extreme and the 1TB disk connected as an AirDisk for TM backups for over 1 week now. I've hammered this thing making backups time after time, in an effort to move as much data through it as possible.
    I thought it was all working fine but, there seems to be a serious issue with this configuration. I can see why Apple's official statement is it's not supported.
    *Eventually, you WILL get data corruption, sooner or later you will.*
    It seems that the larger your sparse backup becomes the more likely you are to get data corruption. I purposely made my sparse image grow in my testing to see what the results were. The results in fact show that there is indeed data corruption occurring. At first I thought it was related to the distance the machine was from the AE, thinking it was signal strength related, but that turned out not to be the case. I had the machine right next to the AE and still saw the problem.
    If you want to test your set up and see if your getting corruption, unplug your AirDisk from the AE and connect it via USB directly to your machine, call up Disk Utility and tell it to repair the disk --- I'm sure your going to be surprised just as I was.
    Now here is the thing, once you repair your AirDisk, leave it connected via USB and turn TM back on. It will use it directly attached and use the existing sparse image file for the backup. And you'll never see corruption.
    Hopefully, Apple will fined the problem and fix it. I plan to do more testing and see if I can determine what is happening, but thats why Apple as test engineering.

    Why not just let TM back up both disks?
    As long as the disk with "your work" is formatted with one of the variations of +Mac OS Extended,+ all you have to do is make sure it's not listed in the +Do not back up+ box in TM Preferences > Options. Just be sure it's big enough: see #1 i the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    But if you decide to do it separately, then yes, as Chris says, it's much better to partition the backup disk so TM has it's own, exclusive space. See #3 in the FAQ Tip.

  • Problems using MBP as WiFi router for iPad2 (self-assigned IP address)

    H/W& S/W:
    MBP 15" (model early 2011), running Snow Leopard,
    iPad 2 WiFi only, 64Gb, iOS 4.3.4 (8K2).
    Scenario:
    I am in a location where there is no WiFi. MBP is connected via Ethernet to a DSL network, and has access to the Internet. I turn on Internet sharing, having set the following:
    "Share your connection from" set to "Ethernet" and
    "Share computers using Airport" ticked.
    Previously, I have then connected the iPad 2 via WiFi with the WiFi network created on the MBP, and succesfully worked from the iPad on the Internet (email, browsing, app downloads, ...).
    Problem:
    Now, however, the iPad connects to the MBP's WiFi network, but when I attempt to access the Internet, I get such messages on the iPad  as "Safari is not connected to the Internet" or "Cannot Get Mail ...".
    On investigation, I see that Airport on the MBP is in a YELLOW status: Status On, with the note "Airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.X.y.z, and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
    On the iPad, the WiFi network shows the IP address 169.X.a.b (with a subnet mask (255.255.0.0).
    I have tried:
    1. turning Airport off and on
    2. renewing the DHCP lease on the MBP
    2. configuring IPv4 address in the MBP manually
    3. configuring the IP address manually on the iPad (not expecting anything with this, but ....)
    4. fixed Permissions" on the MBP disk (suggested on another support community web site)
    But none of these make any difference.
    Message was edited by: WKH
    forgot to mention: Firewall is disabled on the MBP.

    Hello,
    I've had the exact same problem on my macbook and it really **** me off ! I tried all of the solutions written in this forum and none worked for me ! I was really starting get mad especially that my macbook is quite new...
    And the thing is i have no Apple Store where i live which is a pretty F***g problem so I had to wait for vacations to go to france where I took my macbook for check at the apple store...
    I just came back right now and my wifi works till now a least far much better than before...The guy was really nice he checked everything and he tried all the solutions on this forum too..Finally he tried to boot from one of '' apple's '' usb that has suberb booting systems...And it worked so finally he re-installed 10.6.5 as it was '' corrupted '' with wifi bugs ! For that he needed to delete everything on my macbook ! GREAT !
    After 15 minutes the installation was done and it started like when you buy a new macbook !
    And VOILA the Wifi came back to normal !
    Hope this helps...
    If you have this problem go and see Apple Store or re-install yourself 10.6.5 !
    Thanks !

  • Problems using iPod as mobile storage device - keeps disconnecting!

    Basically I'm having problems using my using my 4th generation iPod as a mobile storage device. I'm using a firewire connection to my PC running Windows XP to transfer files but at a certain point through the copy the ipod will lose the connection but the PC still thinks it's connected. This then causes my whole PC to lock up and require a restart. It's really quite weird as it never used to do this.
    I'm using the latest iPod firmware and have restored/restarted a number of times.
    Can anyone help me out.

    The iPod is formatted in FAT 32 for Windows. FAT32 cannot use files larger than 4GB.

    You need to switch SQL server to just use SQL Server authentication or both. The problem is that it is looking for a Windows NT account for nakhter with the password java. We get this all the time on new SQL Server installs if you just take the defaults.

    I donwloaded the Mountain Lion OSX and it would not install because it said that the hard disk is used for Time Backups. I then mounted a separate Hard Disk and started running the time backups on it.
