Record Drive/Partition...

I've got Logic Pro 7 the Academic version and for some reason it's giving me a whole ton of problems. The main one, though, is, when I go into the 24 track template, and click the record button, I get the following error:
Record Drive/Partition "OS X HD" Not Found!
I click ok, it goes into the file saving thing, I type in something (gtr1 or something) and it says:
"Could Not Create File"
Anyone know what might be going on?

Every Logic song has an audio path that is where the audio files recorded will reside.
What's happening, is that template/song is looking for a volume (hard drive) that doesn't exist on your system.
When that prompt comes up, navigate to the hard drive you plan on using for recording audio, and select it. You can even goes a far as selecting a specific folder on that hard drive (recommended). Then save that song. The audio "pathway" will then be remembered the next time you open that template up.
Read up on setting audio paths, saving songs as projects, and other related issues.

Record Drive/Partition not found

I am getting this message when trying to arm a track for recording :
Record drive/partition “es/Audio 1/Tom and Dirk/My Own Sweet Time/Audio Files/Audio Recording” not found!
Any ideas? I was recording a take just fine and wanted to record a second take and got the above message. It does it when I create and arm another track for recording. I tried restarting the session, restarting Logic, rebooting the machine, repairing permissions all to no avail. What is going on?

This is a BUG!!! A big one at that.
I know 3 other Logic 8 users experiencing this.
I do not know what causes it, although it may happen after you delete an audio region, like discarding a take.
The "es/Audio 1/ etc... should say "Volumes/Audio 1/ etc... I've gotten "olumes/Audio 1/etc... and even had it read the exact name of the Audio path "Volumes/Audio 1/etc...
However, if you had simply hit the "O.K." button, Logic would have taken you directly inside the proper Audio Files folder, where you would hit O.K. again, and be back up and running.
So while this bug is quite annoying, just click O.K. at the prompts, and the original audio path will be restored.
Hit Logic's Feedback page hard with this one.

I actually have not had this happen to me in several months, and in fact, haven't even thought about it in a while.
But back when it would happen, I would be working away, recording audio without any problems, and then I'd hit record again for something, and out of nowhere, get a message like this:
"olumes/Audio Drive/Album Projects/John Doe/Song title/Audio Files" not found.
When the first word should have been "Volumes".
So I would click and hold the record button to get to reset my audio pathway, and the proper path would already be listed. I would then merely click the "Set" button, and be back in business.
And there were even a handful of times when I would get that message with the full name listed, the V was there in "Volumes', and everything listed correctly, and going to the record settings, everything was set properly. But I'd still have to hit "Set" to remind Logic where the pathway was pointed to.
Definitely a bug.
But... this bug never happened to me in Logic 7. It was only since installing and using Logic 8, that it occurred. And as I mentioned, it now hasn't happened in months.

Record drive/partition "500G Ext HD Western Digital" not found!

I don't know why I'm getting this message when I open any songs I've recorded in Logic Express. It just started doing this today. Here is the message:{Record drive/partition “500G Ext HD Western Digital” not found!}
I do not get this message when I open and work on songs I've recorded in Garageband.
The 500G Ext HD is my external hard drive.
Does anyone know what this means and how I can resolve it and get back to recording music??

Does the disk appear OK on your desktop?
When exactly do you get this message? When you double-click on a Logic file on your external drive? Or when you start a new project? Is your record path set properly in Logic?
First, as you may be nearing a hard disk problem, make sure that all essential files are backed up properly.
Then, open up your Disk Utility and run 'Verify Disk' and 'Repair permissions' on your external drive. If you have a copy of Disk warrior, even better.

Trying to load guitar effects template. says record drive not found.

hi.
i'm trying to load the guitar effects template, but when I click on the record button, I get a message that record drive/partition MPC 2 not found. and then it defaults to the finder and tries to find this file or partition or whatever it is. What's going on here? how can I find this mpc 2, or else reconfigure to bypass it.
Thanks.

Thanks very much. also I just read the answer for another post by another fellow on the same topic. I never knew that stuff about holding down the record button.
thanks folks. i got it working.

Time Capsule Frequently disconnecting users from drive partitions

I have a pretty unique setup and situation with our Time Capsule causing us some major problems:
We are an after school music program for teens with 7 iMacs that members use to create and edit music in GarageBand. Their files are stored on a partition of a Time Capsule that they're all given a folder on to store GarageBand projects in. Believe it or not, for the past 4 years this has worked perfectly. They've been able to open GarageBand projects from the Time Capsule's drive partition and edit, record and mix Garage Band projects in real time all while streaming over wifi.
About 3 or 4 months ago in March 2013 (I'm thinking there was a Time Capsule firmware and/or Airport Utility update around the time it started) about 5 minutes after anyone opens their GarageBand projects from the Time Capsule partition, their iMac disconnects from the Time Capsule's partition and Garage Band basically goes haywire. It sort of moves their project to "no man's land", it's not on the computer's local hard drive and it can't see it on Time Capsule, so when you try to record it says "drive partition full" and even worse, if you try to save Garage Band usually crashes and loses their work. Even if you try to do "Save As" and move it to a local location it'll still crash and lose their work.
Dragging their file from the Time Capsule partition to the computers desktop and working on the project locally for the day works, but isn't really a good solution as kids have trouble grasping file management and lose their files between computers when they work this way.
Our Time Capsule is about a year and a half old, Firmware version 7.6.3 and Airport Utility on the Mac I use to admin things is 6.3.
A weird problem I know, but we are desparate for help!

7.6.3 firmware definitely has more bugs than previously.
IMHO the first step is to downgrade the TC.. use 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 on an 18month old TC might work better than any 7.6 version.
Secondly 6.3 is problematic as a utility.. apple seem to have made ipv6 local-link a necessity..
See the rather belated advice..
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
Downgrade firmware is easy in v6 utility.
Simply select version with option key held down. Select the version you want to use and it will downgrade.. (or maybe that is an upgrade!!)
You can also use 5.6 utility to manage the TC.. since it is not the latest greatest which needs the latest not so greatest utility.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
You only need to do this on the computer that is going to manage the files.. but it is easy once you have the actual 5.6 utility to just copy it to every computer in the network.
Sounds like interesting stuff.
The TC is not designed as a NAS.. so if this really doesn't work out, I would be looking at a 2 disk synology so you can run mirrored raid.
And of course backup is so much easier in a real NAS.. TC has no inbuilt backup ability, and TM cannot backup network drives.. so Apple kind of didn't intend TC to do this job.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

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.

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
Background:
I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
What I've tried that seems to work:
This seemed to work:
1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Daniel

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Drive Partition causing issues after new hard drive and recovery disks installed

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center PC m7640n running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
My hard drive failed and I had a computer guy install a 1 TB Hard drive as well as additional memory. I purchased the recovery disks and he installed everything for me. I have two issues:
1. After updating to XP Service Pack 3 and all other Windows recommended upgrades the computer deleted all my drivers and would not "plug and play" install anything. I had the computer guy back to fix this--he did get all my drivers to work, but when I plug in anything new for the first time (such as my iPad), I have to go into the device manager and manually update the drivers. The computer doesn't recognize it and automatically prompt me to install it.
2. The hard drive partition defaulted to my C drive being very small and my D drive being large. Since software usually defaults to the C drive for installation, I quickly ran out of space. I had the computer guy back and he programmed something so that everything now defaults to the D drive. Unfortunately all my program files (including Microsoft Office) are still on my C drive including everything I put on my desktop. My C drive is now full.
Here is an example: iTunes shows that it is defaulting to the D drive for anything I load into it. Yet I tried to download the new operating system for my iPad and it said my hard drive was full. When I did a file search to see what files had changed in the last week, it shows iTunes on my C drive (and my D drive). Yet all the files that were "changed" due to my upgrade were defaulting to the C drive, even though in the setting in iTunes it shows it should be saving to the D drive.
D:\Documents and Settings\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Is there an easy way to fix these issues? I've already spent more than I anticipated when I chose to rebuild this computer vs buying a new one. Now I'm regretting the decision and I'd like to try and fix this myself and not pay my computer guy to come back at $90/hour.
Thanks!

Here are the original specs of your computer. The specs state that the original hard drive was 320GB. You have since replaced the factory drive with a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive. The HP recovery routine seems to have issues with hard drives that deviate from the original size. The partition issues you are experiencing may be a result of this. As for the rest of your issues, it sounds like the SP3 install went bad.
If I were you, I would consider reinstalling the OS using your recovery discs by doing a complete "destructive" reinstall/recovery. Afterward, I would post the size of both the c: and d: partitions... and go from there.

Disk utility fails to resize portable drive partitions with error message "requested change in size is too small".

I am using a 1TB WD studio passport portable drive with my 2011 MacBook Pro. I have the portable drive partitioned into 4 volumes: 355 GB, 320 GB, 320 GB, & 4 GB. But Disk Utility won't allow me to split the third of those into 160 GB /160 GB. All volumes verify as seeming "to be okay". Seems if Disk Utility could create me a 4GB partition that 160 GB is plenty big enough, right? Something's not right; Can you help me with this please?

What is on those partitions and or the partition you want to split in two?
If you don't have any data on partitions or if you can save it someplace else for the time being then why not just Re-Partition the whole drive into the sizes you now want.

Time machine backup on "internal drive" partition.

I have read several posts regarding external drive partitions and time machine, however... am I able to partition my only internal drive, and use that for TM backup?
Thanks

yes, you can but it's a bad idea. if something happens to your hard drive you'll loose everything. it's ok to back up to an internal drive but it should be a different physical drive than the one you are backing up.

How do you increase the volumne size of a hard drive partition?

how do you increase the volumne size of a hard drive partition? the drive is set up into 3 partitions C, HP_tools and, recovery, C has space and would like to move some to HP_tools that is full. when I run backup I get drive full. I have run backup now to an external drive so that is not an issue.

Hi,
Firstly please don't keep anything in HP_TOOLS except things have been there. You can use Windows systems tool called Disk Management. Please use the following tutorial:

Problems with Boot Camp and Drive Partition

First of all, let me preface this by saying I have in the past successfully partitioned my drive and installed Windows, but it was a while back and I can remember it was frustrating, but I don't remember the exact details. Also, I apologize for the rambling nature of this problem, but I'm trying to give as much relevant information as possible and walk through the steps I took to get where I am now.
Feel free to skip ahead to the end, the main problem seems to be I tried to create a 300 GB partition, but it didn't take or something. Now my storage is reflecting I've lost 300 GB, but it won't recognize the existence of the new partition.
Let me just walk through what I did. I deleted my previous partition because I was having some difficulties with a few programs and the partition ended up being too small and I wanted to make a bigger one anyway. I only use it for gaming and didn't care about any of the saved games so I just deleted the partition and figured I'd start over from scratch.
Before I begin, some technical details about the computer I'm working with. I don't know how much of this is necessary, but here it is:
It's a 27-inch late 2012 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 24GB RAM running OSX 10.9.4
The storage space is a little more difficult as that is part of the problem I'm running into, which I'll get to in a minute.
Anyway, I have a Windows 7 Professional install DVD and a burned CD called Boot Camp, which I think is the drivers from last time I installed Windows (a year and half ago?), but since I needed Superdrive for the install DVD I just used an XHD I had to put the drivers on (like I said, I don't remember how I did it last time). I go through Boot Camp and look at how much space I have and how big I want to make my partition.
Side note: Last time I made my partition, I'm fairly certain I set it to 200 GB, but the partition size actually came out to something like 112 GB or something significantly less. I didn't know what happened, but figured it would still be enough space and it had been such a hassle I didn't bother doing it again.
Supposedly I have a 1 TB HD, and I can't remember exactly what it said when I partitioned the drive this time, but it definitely said I was using less than half of my capacity and I had plenty of room, so I opted to go for a 301 GB partition (the slider wouldn't let me do exactly 300) which still left me with around 300 GB of space left over on my Mac partition I want to say. I went ahead with it and it started partitioning the drive with the blue line moving very slowly and after an hour or so it was like 80% across but no longer making progress. I looked online and people said that shouldn't happen. I cancelled the partition and the Disk Utility showed the partition, but said it was unmounted or something.
I restarted my computer thinking maybe I'd try and see what would happen if I tried to boot it up as if I had Windows installed. I also at that moment remembered that I'd had a similar problem last time because I had my XHD plugged into my USB port so I unplugged that and held down OPT. It then showed me my Mac HD drive and a CD icon that said Windows, so I clicked on that figuring maybe I could install it after all.
It led me through a Install manager and it got to the point where it asked what drive/partition do you want to install Windows in, I recognized the screen and remembered I was supposed to choose a certain one, but couldn't remember which one and none of the sizes seemed to match the storage I had allocated to the partition. One was about 200 GB and since the last time I did it my partition came out 100 GB smaller than I had set it for I thought maybe that was it.
However, it said I couldn't install on that drive for some reason (I can't remember exactly what it said). So I restarted again and figured I'd go back and see what I did wrong and start over. When I check Disk Utility it no longer sees any partition (mounted or unmounted or anything) and that the entirety of my HD is dedicated to Mac HD.
The problem is, now I'm getting weird reports about the size of my drive, the amount used, and the space available. Disk Utility tells me I have 1.12 TB capacity, 301 GB available, and 819 GB used. That doesn't even add up. Furthermore, when I click get info on Macintosh HD, it tells me I have 810 GB capacity, 364 GB available, and 446 GB used. When I click on About this Mac and go to System Report and storage I get this:
Macintosh HD
Available: 364 GB
Capacity: 810 GB
Logical Volume Group:
     Name: Macintosh HD
     Size: 1.12 TB
     Freespace: 301 GB
Physical Volumes:
     disk0s2:
   size: 121 GB
     disk1s2:
     size: 999 GB
Now I really don't know what to make of it. That 301 GB free space makes sense as the partition I tried to create and if I add that to the 446 GB used on my Mac partition, plus the 364 GB available, that adds up to 1.12 TB (roughly, I've rounded off these numbers).
But how come Disk Utility doesn't recognize the partition then? What should I do from here?
I couldn't find anyone asking this exact type of question or running into this same problem before, so I hope I'm not asking about something that's already been answered. If that's the case, if you could direct me to where I can find the answer I'd be appreciative.
Otherwise, any help or light that can be shed would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

The problem seems to have gone away. I did click on repair disk in Disk Utility, I'm not sure if that did anything, but now when I run Boot Camp Assistant it is showing me the correct free space, so I don't know what happened. Oh well.
Still having trouble getting the **** thing to partition, but that topic is covered extensively elsewhere.
