Problem with external HDD after installing updates in Mac os X 10.5 leopard

Hi,
I just went out to the store and bought a copy of the leopard.
I installed it with nothing attached to the computer. Everything went fine.
When I went to update the software I had two packages there that I updates, so I had to restart the computer. when it started again it indicated that it had problems with my Iomega Ultramax 1tb disk. It says that disk repair failed and that I only have limited access to the disk. and since it's ALOT of data on the disk, I don¨t rally got the tools to copy everything to another location and then erase the disk and copy everything back. So does anyone know if there's a solution to this.
I'd be really happy to get a solution on this,
thanks alot.
Rich

When I'm using disk utility and use "verify disk" I get the following message:
"First Aid failed
Disk utility stopped verifying "UltraMax" because the following error was encountered.
Filesystem verify or repair failed."

Problems with external/usb after installing new hard drive

After having a new hard drive installed (from Mac 10.5.2 to 10.6.8) I have experienced 2 problems so far:
1. I am getting no response (from anything connected from my usb port) ie. mouse. But plugging in the mouse directly into the mac works fine.
2. After a few minutes, the sound from my production speakers (connected: macbook->usb cord->sound card-> production speakers) starts to skip and then no sound at all, however my soundcard is still working as I see the light is on.
Can anyone let me know how this can be fixed? I never had these problems before getting the new hard drive.

try doing a PRAM/NVRAM reset.......
that might sort out your issues.......
good luck.....hope it works for you...

Problem with external keyboard after firmware update

I had an external keyboard plugged into my Macbook Pro (I normally use it on my Power Mac G5). Did a software update on the Pro, had an update for the Aluminum keyboard. Didn't notice it saying not to have any external keyboards plugged in. After the software failed to update because of my external being connected, the external stopped working, both on my Macbook and on my G5 tower. When I connect a mouse to the keyboard, the mouse still works completely fine. But typing won't work.
Any idea of what I can do to fix this?

Reload the firmware update and make sure it completes.

HT204490 OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - I had problems with my iMac after installing the previous update and I removed that update. Have there been problems associated with this update ?

I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

My Mac won't mount my external HDD after installing Lion - What can I do?

My Mac won't mount my external HDD after installing Lion - What can I do?
HDD: Verbatim 3.5'' External HDD eSATA & USB 2.0 #48802
I can not find it in Disc Utilities - so I can not repair it.
I also haven't found any Driver for the HDD to do an update.
My Mac is running on the most recent updates of OS Lion.
The HDD worked before. It contains my former Time-Mashine Backups. I would like to use this drive again. It isn't very old yet.
It would be much appreciated if anyone could help.
Cheers,
Yves

OK, try restarting in Safe Mode and if that doesn't work try resetting the SMC and PRAM.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

If you have problems with Apple Apps after installing Mavericks

I had a problem with Apple Apps after installing Mavericks. They would bounce in the dock but never open. The problem apps I had trouble with were CALENDAR, MAIL, and even APP STORE. I am guessing it has to do with permissions when setting up via iCloud. Here's what I did to make my apps work again after the update:
Restart computer, then immediately hold down OPTION so you can start from the 10.9 RECOVERY DISK.
Run DISK UTILITY, then run REPAIR DISK, then run REPAIR DISK PERMISIONS.
After this, RESTART, then hold COMMAND OPTION P R at the same time until your computer restarts three times.
After it boots up, the apps began working like they should have.

That's where your questions about Lion should be posted.

Still problems with external harddrive after sleep although 10.8.5 supplemental update is installed

I am on an iMac 24" late 2007. The external drive is a Hitachi (HGST) Touro 1TB (other drives are fine and never had a problem not even before the supplemental update). Disk utility finds no problems with the HD (had volume repaired never the less).
Is this just my iMac or are others here also still confronted with hd sleep problems after the supplemental update?
Thanks for your input.

I'm not having those same problems, but my USB3 external drives attached via a USB3 hub still are ejected improperly when the machine goes to sleep. Also, I've had aliases on the desktop disappear for no reason. I regret updating to 10.8.5 due to all the weird problems, and the supplemental update fixed a few things but it's still buggy... Fortunately, no data corruption from this. I keep my fingers crossed.
Since desktop sales represent 15% of Apple's revenues (and dropping), it's just a matter of time before they dump desktops all together. I see no reason why Apple would care if the desktop OS is buggy.

Problem with sync-cds after installing Patch 115614-26

Hi,
We are in the process of patching the machines in the cluster from 5.2 p2 to p4 on Solaris 9.
After installing 115614-26 (System Directory Server 5.2 patch 4) the process is to start up slapd and run sync-cds to synchronise the updates. We're seeing authentication failures at this point and can't work out what the problem is.
# /usr/sbin/mpsadmserver sync-cds
Admin Id: cn=directory manager
Admin Password:
Error: Ldap authentication failed (147:Unknown error.).
Do you want to try again ? [y/n]: #
The sync-cds process breaks back to the bash prompt after entering the password rather than asking for another go. If a false cn is given the same error number is given yet we're allowed to have another try.
# /usr/sbin/mpsadmserver sync-cds
Admin Id: cn=false
Admin Password:
Error: Ldap authentication failed (147:Unknown error.).
Do you want to try again ? [y/n]: y
The authentication details are correct as we're able to authenticate with the console on the other machines in the cluster using the same details.
No errors are shown in the slapd logs. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Robin.

use :
export NSS_STRICT_NOFORK=DISABLED
before starting the directory and admin server.

Problems with monitor/resolution after software update

I installed the latest security update tonight, and now my monitor no longer properly works with my mini. I have a Dell 2005FPW. I was using 1680x1050 resolution with no problems. When I rebooted after the update, I noticed my resolution had been changed... and now the mac only detects my display as a "VGA display" and I can't select that resolution any more! The monitor still works fine with my PC.
How can I get my 1680x1050 back??

Do you have a KVM switch to share your monitor between your Mac and your PC? I was getting this problem when I got one of these so my new Mac could share my monitor etc with my old one but found a way round it. In System Preferences -> Displays, tick the 'Show displays in menu bar' box. Then click on 'Detect displays' from the drop down menu. The screen will go blue for a moment and the computer will recognise the monitor for what it is.

Permissions and problems with external HDD

Starting today I have been unable to copy anything to my 1T Seagate FA GoFlex external HDD. I can access the drive, I can copy files FROM the drive back to my Mac Mini, but I cannot copy anything to the drive. Whenever I try to copy anything I get the error "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)." I have spent the last four hours doing an exhaustive search, and have tried every solution I've come.
Somehow, over the last few days, something has happened to change this external HDD--the permissions and possibly the format. I have been in Disk Utility and am unable to repair. I have tried accessing Disk Utility from startup and am unable to repair. I have also copied the content off of the HDD and have tried to reformat the drive, but I'm getting an error when I try this as well.
When I tried to verify the disk I got this error:
When I tried to repair the disk I got this error:
After copying all of the important files to other drives, I attempted to reformat and got this error:
Then I tried the secure option and got this error:
I did notice that when I click on the Erase tab, the format shows as "Mac OS Extended" but when I click on the RAID tab the format shows "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Shouldn't these match?
I have been using this external HDD for several years now and have never had a problem. This does coincide with the copying of some .mp3 files. Could this be the culprit? (I was unable to remove one zip folder of these mp3 files.)
The permissions for this external HDD seem out of whack as well:
It states "You can only read" but the admin account "MiniMel (Me)" sholws Read & Write.
I am completely stumped and irritated. Is there any help for this HDD or is it just failing? It was no where near capacity. Could the mp3 files have caused the problem? I think this is unlikely, the the timing is coincidental. Should I worry about this happening to the other external HDD and my HD where I copied the files so I could reformat?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried that last night. When I tried to verify the disk from startup, I received this message:
when I tried to repair the disk I received this message:
After the second message, I moved what I needed off the external HDD and tried to reformat. Which led to the errors in my OP. So frustrating.

Windows 8.0 new dual boot GUI disappeared and replaced with text menu after installing updated 8.0 and 8.1

I upgraded my windows xp to windows 8.0 and my windows 7 to windows 8.1 for a dual boot environment. I am using BCDEDIT program. I had no problem when booting to the GUI menu OF WINDOWS 8 when I first INSTALLED Windows 8. But after the second time
I booted from a cold start it defaulted back to the old text version of the dual boot menu from the old windows xp and 7 . I have tried many times to restore the boot mgr TO GET BACK THE WINDOWS 8 GUI but I can't seem to put my
finger on the root cause remedy that would over-ride the default TEXT VERSION STYLE. I really like the Windows 8 GUI interface. Remember I am not having any problems with booting into the OS of my choice ----- just the BOOTMENUPOLICY.
Here is where I need to resolve the new from the old command. By the way Does the Bcdedit program need to be installed in both OS'S? And when original Windows 7 was installed the os partitioned a Boot 100mb. I cannot remove or delete it in my Disk Management.
Just some other tidbits to ponder from any help I would appreciate.
Thanks
Michael

Hi,
What's the status of your current system boot option? Please check and make sure Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 was first boot.

Problem with another application after install Adobe Illustrator CC 2014

Hello, I write you because we don't know how to fix this problem.
We've encountered a problem after install that software in our corporative computers, for some reason the default font of Lotus Notes changes after install Adobe Illustrator.
It changes Calibri font by The Times New Roman font. Those problems have been detected in the 100% percent of tests made. (Uninstalling Adobe and/or Lotus, installing the software in many PCs and suffer the same issue).
There is a compatibility problem between those programs ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

d,
I am afraid Illy is reluctant to recognize Calibri as a (proper high quality) font and therefore replaces it whenever she comes across it.
Have you had the same issue with the original CC or even earlier?
