Server's external hardrive recognition problem

Since I installed Mavericks, our servers external hard drive doesn't give me permissions to do anything. In Lion I didn't experience this kind of problem.

Yes, but there have been a rash of similar threads where posters have mentioned that external HDs have worked fine, until they installed Logic 8.
I think (but don't know for sure) that Logic 8 somehow is fussier about recording to a drive that is formatted as FAT32, which I think might be related to the introduction of .caf files that can be much larger than AIFF or WAV file size limits, which maybe is why Logic is now having problems using an improperly formatted drive. Just a theory, mind you

External drive recognition problem

I am having issues with my iMac recognizing an external drive. I have:
iMac 5,1 10.4.11, Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 1GB Memory, PIONEER DVR-112d in a BYTECC ME-525U2FW Aluminum External enclosure connected through Firewire.
The iMac initially recognized the drive, no problem. Trouble is, when I turn off the drive and then power it back up, the iMac can't recognize it. I was able to solve it initially by powering down the drive, unplugging it from the firewire, reconnecting to firewire, and the powering up the drive again.
System profiler states all software up to date.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
Has performed this way since install, which was about 72 hours ago.
When first connected through firewire and turned on, drive immediately recognized by iMac. Drive works, both ripping and burning. Turned drive off. Went to power up drive, and problem arose.

Problems with permissions when backing up to external hardrive

I have two external hardrives. One I use for time machine, and the other I just copy and paste my computer's hardrive. I like to have a couple back up locations.
The problem: Lately when I try the copy and paste operation it gets started then inevitable halts with the message, "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access "Keychain Access.app".
I've run "repair disk permissions" and erased everything on the external before starting. Same problem. Any ideas?
BTW, the Time Machine backup to my G-drive has not experienced this problem.

You need to use dedicated cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner and not just copy/paste.

Problem Updating iTunes 7 on external hardrive

My iTunes App is on my external hardrive, containing all of my music, videos, pictures, and other files. I just recently updated my iTunes to the latest version. The app automatically tries to open it from my main hardrive. So, when it opens it shows I have no files whatsoever in iTunes because it's trying to open it from my main hardrive and everything is stored on the external hardrive, including the older version of iTunes. I've tried just deleting it from the main hardrive and reading it form the external, but it still opens from there. The space the file takes up is about 62 GB. but the free space on my main hardrive is about 54 GB. so, it's not like I can just swap things around. Is there anyway I can redirect the program to always open from my external hardrive? or any other solution to fix this problem? might I add that the last time I updated iTunes, I didn't have this problem.

keep your iTunes folder on your external drive.
When you re-open itunes next time, press option until a window pops up,
asking you to select your library.
[this is a way to keep and manage multiple libraries]
select the itunes folder.
this should load your library correctly.
if you did not yet - don't upgrade to itunes 7.2.

Western Digitial external USB drive recognition problem

Hi
I recently bought a Western Digital USB 250gb external drive. I connected it to my G4 Powerbook running OSX10.2.8 and it had no problem recognising it. I then dumped across a load of data successfully.
A few days later I upgraded to Tiger and now the G4 won't recognise the external drive at all. I have scoured the forums for an answer but have found nothing to fix a drive problem where the drive just doesn't appear at all in disk utility (or on the desktop)!
I didn't partition the drive when it was first recognised in 10.2.8 (which i now realise was a mistake). The data on the external drive is unimportant to me - I just want to be able to use the drive - maybe there's a way or reformatting and starting again? (The Western Digital site doesn't provide any drivers for Tiger - cos it's just meant to recognise it automatically..)
Any information appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mark

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have any other USB devices connected to your Powerbook?
Is this a recognition problem right after the computer boots up? Or had the computer fallen to sleep prior to your connecting it? Sometimes I've seen USB ports fall into a low power mode causing problems recognizing USB devices until the machine is next rebooted.
If you have critical data on that drive, you may want to try Prosoft Data Rescue to see if it can see what is on that drive. You can also buy an external Firewire enclosure and try to move the drive to that, or find someone with a PowerMac G4 or G3 tower to see if it can be taken out of the case and put in the tower for recognition. If you do the latter, be sure that the jumper is set for the master/slave setting that matches the cable you are connecting in the drive.

My Seagate external hardrive comes up with error 5016

I am not sure if my IMac OSX has a virus, but my external hardrive, which is a Seagate is not working and comes up with "error code 5016"

Hmmmm, is this a Network drive?
afpNoServer = -5016, /* Server not responding */
Not likely a virus btw.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Itunes won't copy over some of my podcasts and purchases since I have moved it to an external hardrive

So I Have moved over all my purchases and everything to an external hardrive. I did everything right and my itunes story works perfectly fine. However one of my podcasts (yugioh the abridged series) won't copy over along to the ipod saying its file type is not supported by the ipod. It only does this with the first 8 episodes (if you find it you will see them) one of which (the bbt movie) worked perfectly fine on my ipod before but now for some reason it won't. It also won't work on a few of the tv shows that are in hd and one music album that had american boy in it. I'm wondering what I can do to solve this problem. My itunes and my computer (windows vista operating system) is up to date and I have an ipod classic with plenty of room what should I do.

This doesn't work. The iOS4 upgrade has wiped out synchronization to Outlook to the phone and back. There are many threads on this here, and Apple has yet to address this issue.

Ipod not recognized when using an external hardrive, please help me!

I have a 4 gig ipod mini, I have been using it for over a year with no problems. recently, my computer will not recognize my ipod when it is plugged in with my external hardrive. I have chosen to keep all of my music on a 100 gig external hardrive, because I have a lot of it. when I plug my ipod into my computer and run Itunes my computer will recognize my ipod, open itunes and then the program will freeze. i can also plug in my external hardrive and when i do my ipod is not recognized by the computer at all. I have tried, numerous scans of both hardrives, multiple updates, new USB cords, I have the most current version of itunes and yet I come to see no results, if you know anything please help me, I don't know what else to do.

I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it?

I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.

External Hardrive not "readable" by my computer anymore....

So the other day my Samsun 200gig external hardrive was working..and the next thing you know it...the drive becomes "not readable by your computer" AGH...how frustrating. The Utility Disc also says that there are errors when trying to repair the disc.
These were the errors: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Repair error: could not read boot block.
I have so much crap on my external drive..and I bought it new in Japan 5 months ago! AHHH..help! Thanks!!
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
I had a similar problem and it responded to several different approaches.
1. Make sure all is up to date in software update
2. Connect to different port
3. Vary the connection setup, start up with ext HD attached and turned on.
4. Do the opposite of 3
5. You might zap the pram( info in your booklet)
I hope perhaps that some of these might work, good luck

Cant drag file onto external hardrive.

can anyone help me please dont have my imac worked out just yet. My WD elements external hardrive is formatted MS-DOS (FAT). Now i have been using it for quite a while have never had any problems until now. Usually i can drag pretty much anything and everything into it. I'm not sure whats happend, but now it wont let me put anything in it. It wont let me move anything -The white circle with the line through it pops up now whenever i try to drag any files onto it. i have plugged another hardrive in to see if that would work and it wont let me drag anything into it either and it is fromatted the same as my other one. Whats has happened? any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated!! cheers

Hello,
In Finder, do a Get Info on one of the Drives, is it Locked or what Priviledges does it show for you?
Another thing about MS-Dos/Fat drives is the limit of files/folders at the top level, (128-256 depending), once that is reached, no more can be added, you have to delete one file & make a folder to move or create other files in.

Debian Linux character recognition problem

Maybe this shouldn't be on this forum, but perhaps someone can help me...
I have Jrun 3.1, java 2 1.4 and Debian Linux.
On our test server everything was hunky dory, running perfectly.
But once everything was on the real server, we've had a character recognition problem. All of the higher characters are just replaced by a y or a ?.
I'm pretty sure that we can exclude java from the problem, the i18n.jar, which I believe holds all the international stuff is there and in the classpath (exactly as on the test server) and jrun is exactly as on the test server because we copied every folder as it was.
Therefore I think we can bring it down to Linux (Debian).
I cannot find where to look in Debian for any kind of keyboard or locale problem. Anyone know what to do?
kbdconfig command doesn't exist on our system.
Any help greatly appreciated.
We are in Italy, by the way.
Thanks.

If you check out the default file encoding you'll find that it's 7-bit ASCII; no characters > '\u007F' come out as they should. This applies as well to compiling as to running.
You can compile with another character encoding using the command line options, like: "javac -encoding ISO-8859-1 package/YourClass.java" (available at least in 1.4) and "java -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 package.YourClass".

Nothing is going from my external hardrive into my trash (run on a network)

Hello
We use one external hardrive between four of us in our studio, run on a network. I am trying to delete stuff from the hardrive, but anything I put in the trash is not appearing there. Some of the time it says its because the file is in use - which it is not, and other times the file seems to be dropped in the trash no problem (and I get the deletion warning box), but when I go to empty, nothing is there. I've restarted my machine twice, and some of the files have appeared back to where they originally were, and others have disappeared, and aren't being found in spotlight.
Items from my desktop are going in fine, but I can't really transfer stuff from hardrive to desktop to trash, mainly because I finish in half an hour and take my laptop with me, and it will still be transferring by then!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Did you put the library on the external drive, or just the media folder. See this migrate iTunes library post for the way this ought to be done and recovery tips for when it is no longer possible.

External hardrive error

I just came home to mix a little and ran into a new problem.
I'm using a Macbook Pro
Digi 002
Mybook External hardrive
When I went to open some sessions on my hardrive (same hardrive I've been using for a few months) I get this message,
"This session is saved on a volume set to TRANSFER only. If permitted, set the volumes in question to "P" (playback) or "R" (record) in the Workspace.
Otherwise, choose OK to save a copy of this session and its media to a valid playback volume. The session copy will automaically open from the chosen location."
Please help, I don't understand how i get this error all of a sudden.
How do I change teh workspace to record?
Thanks,
Edson

Click on the icon of the mounted drive.
Request the info (-i) check the "ownership and permissions" in the bottom of the info panel that pops up.
Sounds like that is set to "read only".
