[SOLVED]Formatting the USB after using DD

Hi, I can't format the USB after using DD, but it doesn't work. I zeroed the partition like written in the wiki, but when I try to make the fs it says that the partition doesn't exist. The system doesn't recognize the USB at all. I used the windows version of DD

You need to partition it; why would you use the windows version of anything?

    After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

  • Is it okay to closed the lid after using Macbook Pro even the it is hot?

    Hi. I'm using MBP early 2011 I5 and I noticed the temperature getting high and palm rest is getting hot/warm when I'm playing games. Is this normal? temperature around 80 degree celsius accoringding to istat.
    Also, after using the MBP, ofcourse the palm rest is hot/warm. Is it okay to close the lid after using it?
    Thanks.

    My practice has been to let the MBP cool a few minutes before closing the lid, so it's trapping less heat. I doubt this has much saving effect on the logic board components, but my MBP is old enough to have a glossyplastic display cover. It would look ugly if it started to warp.

  • My iPhone 4S is becoming too hot on the back after using apps

    My phone 4s is becoming too hot on the back after using apps and browsing over the net

    Apple actually recommended that at least once a month What I've noticed in the iPhones and iPods that when you drain it to 0%, it saves some energy to display that connect to AC source. That's what you get when you turn on your phone or ipod even if it's 0%. That WILL destroy the battery but full cycling wouldn't.
    I tried it and it worked thanks but after a day it will be glitchy again :l

  • Lightroom 4.3 craches when using the brush after using redeye tool

    I have purchased Lightroom couple of days ago. I was travelling therefore I didn't have the time to upgrade to 4.3.
    The version shipped with the disk (4.1) was working like a dream. I have downloaded 4.3 yesterday and I couldn't be sadder. First I noticed that it cause the 'root' to use more CPU, meaning it doesn't use the CPU for Lightroom itself. Plus the the Application is generally and noticeably slower than original one.
    Today, I used the redeye tool for the first time, and I just can't brush on top of it without having it crashes!! It's just impossible. I rebooted. Updated my Mac to OS 10.7.5 ...  No use. I even uninstalled and reinstalled again. I was forced to do all my editing first in cluding usinf the brush, then use the redeye tool as the final step. But any moment I engage the brush after having used the red eye tool, it crashes instantaneously

    I suppose so. But the thing is that 4.2 runs just fine.
    But here you go:
    Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    A bit oldish but I think it's fine (is that what you meant by set up? cuz I'm not entirely sure)
    I used the CD to install the first version 4.1 and just followed the instructions and that's what I do every time there's an update/upgrade.
    The catalog was suggested by the instructions to be put in the pictures file, so I did. and the images are there too. The other "technical" files that are related to how the software operates are located in the main Preferences folder (where all similar folders from other software are normally located"
    Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it. Do let me know if you have any other questions
    Cheers

  • How to select the particles after using the Particle Analysis

    Can I select the particles after the particle analysis directly, like chosing #1, #2 ..., or should I run the particle filter using the measured parameter?

    Hello Ishi,
    I now have a much better idea on what you are trying to do.  If you run the IMAQ Particle Analysis Report VI on the thresholded image that contains particles, an array of clusters will be returned that will contain specific information for each particle including the area, number of holes, bounding rectangle coordinates, center of mass, orientation, and dimensions. 
    To find out which particle is which in the image, index the Particle Reports (Pixels) output of this VI, unbundle the cluster to extract the Bounding Rectangle cluster, and then pass it to the Rectangle input of an IMAQ Overlay Rectangle VI.  This VI will overlay a bounding rectangle onto the image to show where the particle is located.  You can specify which particle you want highlighted by changing the array index of the Index Array VI that is responsible for extracting a specific cluster of particle information from the Particle Reports output of the IMAQ Particle Analysis Report VI.

  • Safari loads and the crashes after using Private Browsing

    I am finding that Safari won't load after using private browsing. After switching off private browsing, I load Safari but as soon as it appears on the screen, it crashes. No matter how many times I start it up, it will always disappera.
    The only way to fix it is to shut down and then start up the iPad again.
    Anyone know why this is happening?

    If you search the discussion site, you will find a number of threads regarding crashing issues with Safari since the iOS 5 update. It seems to be more prevalent in the iPad 1 - which I have and I experience crashes as well - but I have seen no definitive solution.
    I have read that from some users that you should turn off bookmark syncing with iCloud, turn off private browsing, restart the iPad .... but nothing I have tried has eliminated the problem.
    For now, it seems to be - whatever works for you is the "fix" until it really gets fixed.

  • How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

    In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
    Process charProcess = new Process();
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
    charProcess.Start();
    etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
    MS.”  So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and 
    change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
    Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
    be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
    but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
    to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
    I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
    I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
    Your help is appreciated.

    To add to what sonoran posted above, you need to have xrdb load the settings in your ~/.Xresources.  When you use a DE, there are quite a few things that it might do for you depending on the existence (or absence) of a give configuration file. 
    I have no idea what things are specific to each DE, but I know that the Slim login manager is extremely simple and lightweight and does very little (if anything) automagically for you.  A good example of automagic coming from some of the display manager part of things is the locale settings.  In particular, they implement their own ways of handling setting your keyboard layout and language.  So going if you were to go from GDM to Slim, you would suddenly have the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d honored, whereas in GDM, you would either have to use gconf or use setxkbmap at some point.
