  • Some Journaled Calendar Requests get stuck in Submission queue - 550 5.6.0 - storage error in content conversion

    I am having an issue on hub transport servers running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6. 
    Where some journaled meeting request related messages (acceptances, etc.) get stuck in the Submission queue. 
    The error is:
    400 4.4.7 The server responded with: 550 5.6.0 M2MCVT.StorageError; storage error in content conversion. The failure was replaced by a retry response because the message was marked for retry if rejected.
    I raised the issue with our mail archiving vendor and they indicated this was an Exchange Server problem which should have been fixed in Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3, however we are running SP3 RU6 and the issue continues to occur. 
    I realize that we could just delete the stuck messages from queue but has anyone run in to this before and know how to prevent it from happening?
    Thank You. 

    Hi Mike,
    If you temporary disable\bypass third party Archiving , then what happens in the Queue. 
    Thanks , Prakash

  • Trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck

    trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!

    Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
    First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
    The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again.

  • HT4191 My Contacts Journal Professional CRM Journal crashes at the initial seconds of iCloud Migration. Has anybody with this application experience this situation. The developer has been contacted.

    Dear Contacts Journal Support Team,
    Each time i have been trying what you put up for me,i always delete The Application Completely,then go to iTune Apps Store to re-download it. I know the apps store will not give me an old version,that is why i do not use my Mac or iMac to replace the application however this has also been updated on my Macs.
    I reiterated in my message yesterday that,it is not that what you asked me to do is not working or i did not follow your instructions into details. I did follow every steps you stated.
    The end result is that, WHEN IT REACHES DATA MIGRATION,THE SCREEN WILL BE BLACK OR LIGHT BLUE BLACK,WITH A WHITE SCROLLING LINE THREAD ON THE DEVICE SCREEN,MEANING MIGRATION IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THIS WILL MOVE FOR ABOUT 2 or 3SECONDS,AND IT WILL CRASH.
    I have tried this several time,i do not mind starting all over again,i just want it to work with iCloud. We can give you feedback,and i praise your effort for not getting tired to respond. This is a good and real customer service assistance of which i really appreciate.
    My devices are up-to-date,and the application i download is the latest version.
    Please let's makes this application work,there is non like it on The Apps Store. So you should be proud of your work and your innovation which i see as very powerful as well as extremely useful. But when it becomes unworkable it render all my eulogies to your effort meaningless.
    Thanks for contacting me again and i hope you will make it work again. Please forget about my previous DATA,i want to start it NEW. But you can not turn ON & OFF even the iCloud on Contacts Journal.
    Thanks a LOT.

    Thanks. Can you confirm this step:
    - make sure all devices are updated to iOS6.1, and running the latest version of the app (3.3) [you can check if you have the latest version of the app by going to the App Store on your device, then checking the Updates section to see if you see any update for CJournal]
    - Another way to check is when you open CJournal, go to More -> Contact Us -> About page -> it should show the current app version.
    This is very important. If you are running the previous version of the app (3.2.1), then this crash will definitely happen on iOS6.1. You need to upgrade the CJournal app to the latest. After updating the app, you will have to follow the same steps as before, including cleaning up the iCloud database.

    Dear Sir / Madame,
    Thanks for your lengthy information which is highly and diligently consummated and extremely digested.
    All what you indicated in your last mail,i have done it and all efforts is TO NO AVAIL.
    1. It does clean all the devices but at the start of MIGRATION,the application crashes away and off. This has happened at least more than 5 to 7 times on one device. I have got main 2 iPhone 5 main lines,the other lines are subsidiary to my European lines and Dublin. So,i do not on or try to set them at the same time.
    2. Please,kindly see it in this way,look at the year you have released this application,i have not made or bombard  you with this kind of problems.
    3. I am an old man,i love the progress of our younger ones in Technology. It is just a shame i was not born to the computer and application age,it pains me. Because i know i embrace and love Technology,even at this old age. So i can not do anything to destroy your work,i will rather support you for progress so my up spring will also progress in all their discipline. Also remember my vocation as a priest,my position is to encourage,correct and not to destroy another persons efforts and labour.
    Above all,i just finished trying it twice now,at the migration point,it crashes out in few seconds when it comes with that line of migration.
    The time in London now is 03:10 in the morning,this is what i suffer on this application: SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
    If there is any other one like this out their that can take files,journals,documents,ToDo's like this one. Please let me know,i do not mind how much it will cost me. I just want it to work.
    Thanks and look forward to your response.

    Thanks. We just sent you an email an hour before you sent this one!! It had instructions on how to overcome this particular problem "Cannot sync since another device is syncing at the same time". It doesn't look like you followed those instructions at all.
    This is our detailed feedback, so please read and follow them closely::
    - you can only get this message when you are trying to sync to iCloud with CJournal. It means that something else got stuck while syncing with iCloud before, and it needs you to clean up the iCloud database for CJournal (as previously instructed, and repeated below)
    - there is no hope for us to recover your previous data. The best we can do is to get the app working again with iCloud, by cleaning up your iCloud data for CJournal
    - your old data was previously wiped out when you cleaned up the iCloud database without backing it up. There isn't any chance that we can recover that. Maybe the Apple iCloud engineers can restore that for you (though I doubt it). If they do, then let us know and we can figure something out.
    Meanwhile, follow these instructions for resetting your iCloud data:
    - make sure all devices are updated to iOS6.1, and running the latest version of the app (3.3) [you can check if you have the latest version of the app by going to the App Store on your device, then checking the Updates section to see if you see any update for CJournal]
    - make sure to turn off iCloud sync option in CJournal, on all devices
    - To clean out your iCloud database, you have to go to the Settings app -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents and Data -> Show All -> look for Contacts Journal. (if you don’t see it, then look for “icloud” with a blank white icon). Here, press the Edit button, then the Delete All button. This will clean out your iCloud database. Note that it will take a few minutes for your data to be deleted from your other devices, and you shouldn’t try syncing any of your devices to iCloud in the meantime.
    - Now restart all your devices by powering them down, then power them back up again.
    - Now, wait 5-10 minutes for the delete to go through
    - On one of your devices, with the latest data, turn on iCloud. If it gives an initial message saying "iCloud data already exists", then press Cancel. It means it hasn't updated from iCloud that you deleted the data. You'll have to open the Settings app and go to the same Show All page again, just so the device tries to connect to iCloud again.  Wait a few minutes before trying to enable iCloud again.
    - After it's done transferring the information to iCloud, wait a few minutes, then connect your 2nd device to iCloud and let it connect with the existing iCloud data. If it gives a message saying "First Time iCloud Sync", then press Cancel.  It means it hasn't detected the data you just uploaded from iCloud yet. Try again in a minute.
    Please follow these instructions closely. Let me know any instruction isn't clear to you.
    Regards.

    Dear Contacts Journal Support,
    I am so disappointed as you have not deem it right to make a follow up enquiry about my problems of which you were aware about all my Troubles.
    I keep you inform of all my efforts with apple iCloud Department and what i was told.
    I did not delete any of my files from Contacts Journal from my iCloud Account as one of my iPhone 4S still contains a 75% of some of my data. This device has been switched off since. Any attempt i made to use iCloud  on contact journal always comes up with a message i have related to you in my former message that: Contacts Journal encounter a SYNC problems from iCloud and that 2 devices can not be Sync at the same time; while all other devices are actually switched off.
    I am sending this Note now as the time limit given to me by iCloud Team will expire tomorrow. As i have said,this application has beautiful features but to make it work and Sync with either iCloud or Dropbox is a problems.
    I mean,about 8 devices can not have these problems at a go while other applications link with either iCloud or Dropbox are working on all these Devices. I can list all these for you if require as apple iCloud Team do check this as well.
    The iCloud restoration you sent me does not work,but i think this has teach me a great lesson as not to rely fully on an application like this anymore. I count my loss,my time and STRESS,i can not but let you know how i feel and my pains,frustrations and disappointments on this application.
    I have been using this application since it has been introduced,i know all the ups and downs,but not like this.
    I hereby appeal to you to sort out this PROBLEMS: "PROBLEM WITH iCloud SYNC: can not sync since another device is syncing at the same time: please wait and try again."
    The iCloud button will not even switched on.
    I look forward to hear from you.

    Hi,
    Regardless of what Apple technicians say, the simple fact is this:
    - you went and did Delete All for your iCloud data ... now all your iCloud data is gone. There's no way to bring it back. We certainly don't have the power to bring it back; maybe Apple technicians do. Have you asked them about this?
    - your only hope is to restore your device using an iCloud backup, from before you did the Delete All. That might restore your data to a previous state. We sent you this link again: http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/75394/11236
    If the Apple technicians can help you through this process, that would be even better.
    There is honestly nothing we can do at this point. There's no bug to fix. The problem is you did a Delete All of your iCloud data, without making a backup first. If you had a backup of your data, we could be able to help you, but that data is nowhere right now.
    Regards.

    No, not at all,The apple Technicians did run series of Test on both my account and The Application. It was conclusive that the application is not communicating both with devices as well as iCloud Proactively,this is one of The Application i personally rated 5 Stars and both iPad and The iPhone ones i have never made any complaint.
    I gain nothing from spoiling another persons Job and effort. But when something needs to be repair,i think it need to. It crashes on my 4 iPads and all my iPhone series.
    Please apple has the conclusion,you are the one who can fix it. Apparently my screen was shared because they can see through all my efforts since last Night.
    I am very DISAPPOINTED... For now i am looking towards your end to get it fix. Apple policy still remains on Third Party's Application.

    Thanks for the update. We would love to fix the problem for you. Unfortunately, since you deleted all the iCloud data without creating a backup first, there's not much we can do from our end. I wish we had some control over this. The best option really is to look for your iCloud backups, and try to restore your data to your iCloud backup. Did you discuss this with the iCloud technicians from Apple? I'm sure nothing was wrong with their iCloud system per se, but did they focus on recovering your data (after you explained the problem to them in detail)?
    At the moment, the only hope we have is to restore one of your devices from an older iCloud backup. You probably want to do this in the next day or so, otherwise it might get lost. This might have been something that I was hoping an Apple technician would be able to walk you through.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello There,
    i have just finished or apple has just finished with me now,and i was opportune to be attended to by one of apple most senior iCloud Engineer or Technician. We were on this problems for couples of hours,apparently they could detect all my logins through out the night on this application. It was concluded that nothing is wrong with my iCloud account neither with iCloud in general as all my other applications is working fine.
    What this implies now is that they i.e. apple engineers refer me back to you as the developer of this application. The application is not communicating with device as well as to have a good Synchronisation with iCloud.
    They asked me to inform you that i have suffered as an elderly man through out the night and up till now nothing can be done from their end. They want you to look into the application and that    it will be monitor from their end for the next couples of Days as if i or others will get all their Documents stored in the iCloud.
    The Senior Technicians might get inn contact with you if there is NO remedy to this gruelling and gruesome situation that this application has put and expose me to since 17:00 Hour yesterday evening.
    I will hereby advocate for an improvement and utmost adjustment to this BEAUTIFUL APPLICATION. I know it can be made to work without any stress and PLEASE DO IT.

    Hi,
    At this point, I don't think Time Machine backups would help. The only thing that might be possible is if you are backing up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud. You can check this in the Settings app -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> is iCloud Backup turned On? It will also show you the Last Backup under the "Backup Now" button.
    If this is on, you can try to restore one of your devices to this backup version. You can follow these instructions: http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/75394/11236
    You might also want to consult an Apple Genius bar if you have an Apple store close-by or if it's convenient for you to do this over the phone.
    Hope this helps. Really hope you can recover this data.

    Thanks for your email. Were you using iCloud sync? When did you upload these missing documents? Do you use multiple devices ... if so, which device did you use to upload the documents? Did you use the "Transfer over WiFi" method, or did you use "Open In" from a different app?

  • Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

    Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
    I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
    Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
    What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
    Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
    Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.

  • Can't save multiple folders to external drive. Get: "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." when dragging large folders to mac os extended journalled external drive from OS 10.6.8

    Hi
    I am feeling  VERY desperate!
    After losing an external drive [dont ask....]  -   I got  another one :  2TB WD formatted properly [ OS extended journalled for mac ] ready for action to move  my thousands of files and images and ppts in hundreds of folders across from the laptop to this drive because I travel a bit with the laptop and this is too risky not to back up at home.
    But this message came up after starting on moving folders across [** and not straight away, sometimes after moving  a folder  when  4 of 6 gb of files across  then the message comes up  = very frustrating]:
    "The operation can’t be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."
    I am  dragging mixed sometimes large complex folders to this  os extended journalled external drive from my mac book pro OS 10.6.8  - it would take decades to move items one by one or even folder by folder and really confusing. 
    I have  dragged-copied  various small folders and files across successfully, but it is only working 50:50 and I can't leave machine with the idea of things copying eg: overnight - it just won't work....
    I have been browsing google and find some people describing in CODE how they overcome this 'message'   .... but  I  [and I guess some other viewers of this in future & also in desperation]  would need  instructions for beginners....  to try this type of thing.  I don't know any code.
    How can this be happening - I feel ANGRY at APPLE !!!!  for not posting easy fix instructions yet re; this, or better still  updating software so it doesn't happen [ that I can find at least  !!! ] .   There seem to be hundreds of people stuck with this stupid message and inability to back up their projects etc.
    Can anyone help ?
    Many thanks

    hi Samberl
    thanks a lot for the fast reply.
    I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop  onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
    Your suggestion sounds very promising -  I didn't know about 'cloning'.
    Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
    Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb  ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written  : 
    " 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free  " 
    I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
    I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
    When CCC site says it backs up  the hard drive - would this  mean all my files  [over 100 gb] that are mostly  in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon,  would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ]  ?
    thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it. 
    It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

  • VirtualDisk on Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool stuck in "Warning: In Service" state and all file transfers to and from is awfully slow

    Greetings,
    I'm having some trouble with my Windows Storage Pool and my VirtualDisk running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 installation. It consists of 8x Western Digital RE-4 2TB drives + 2x Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drives and have been configured in a single-disk
    parity setup and the virtual disk is running fixed provisioning (max size) and is formatted with ReFS.
    It's been running solid for months besides some awful write-speeds at times, it seems like the write performance running ReFS compared to NTFS is not that good.
    I was recommended to add SSD's for journalling in order to boost write-performance. Sadly I seemed to screw up this part, you need to due this through PowerShell and it needs to be done before creating the virtualdisk. I managed to add my SSD to the Storage
    Pool and then remove it.
    This seem to have caused some awkward issues, I'm not quite sure of why as the virtualdisk is "fixed" so adding the SSD to the Storage Pool shouldn't really do anything, right? But after I did this my virtual disk have been stuck in "Warning:
    In Service" and it seems to be stuck? It's been 4-5 days and it's still the same and the performance is currently horrible. Moving 40GB of data off the virtual disk took me about 20 hours or so. Launching files under 1mb of the virtual disk takes several
    minutes etc.. It's pretty much useless.
    The GUI is not providing any useful information about what's going on. What does "Warning: In Service" actually imply? How am I supposed to know how long this is supposed to take? Running Get-Virtualdisk in PowerShell does not provide any useful
    information either. I did try to do a repair through the Server Manager GUI but it goes to about 21% within 2-3 hours but drops back down to 10%. I have had the repair running for days but it wont go past 21% without dropping back down again.
    Running repair through PowerShell yields the same results, but if I detach the virtual disk and then try to repair through PowerShell (the GUI wont let me do repair on detached virtual disks) it will just run for a split second and then close.
    After doing some "Googeling" I've seen people mentioning that the repair is not able to finish unless I have at least the same amount of free space in the Storage Pool as the largest drive in my Storage Pool is housing so I added a 4TB drive as
    due to me running fixed provisioning I had used all the space in the pool but the repair is still not able to go past 21%.
    As am running "fixed provisioning" I guess adding a extra drive to the pool doesn't do much difference as it's not available for the virtual disk? So I went ahead and deleted 3 TB of data on the virtual disk so now I've got about 4 TB free space
    on the virtual disk so there should be plenty of room for Windows Server 2012 R2 to re-build the parity or whatever it's trying to do but it's still the same, the repair wont move past 21% and the virtual disk is still stuck in "Warning: In Service"
    mode and the performance keeps being horrible so taking a backup will take forever at these speeds...
    Am I missing something here? All the drives in the pool is working fine. I have verified using various bootable tools so why is this happening and what can I do to get the virtual disk running at full state again? Why doesn't the GUI prompt you with any
    kind of usable information?
    Best regards, Thomas Andre

    Hi,
    Please run chkdsk /f /r command on the virtual disk to have a try. In the meantime, run the following commands in PowerShell to share the output.
    get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> | get-physicaldisk | fl
    get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> |fl
    Best Regards,
    Mandy

  • I have a Bootcamp partition on  my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

    I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
    I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
    Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
    What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

    My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
    Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

  • My Macbook Pro is stuck at the start up screen

    Last night I was using Safari and it froze so I restarted it but when it started turning back on it didn't completely restart. It just stayed on the first screen.. I heard the start up chime and then it went to the screen with the apple and the little circle that spins while it's loading and it just stayed there... After about ten minutes of it staying on that screen I hit the power button until it turned off, shut the computer and left it alone for about an hour.. I plugged it into the charger and then turned it back on and I heard the chime again and it went to the same screen it had been on before... It was around 1AM and I accidentally fell asleep waiting for it to turn on so it was plugged in and on the loading screen from about 1AM until I woke up at about 10AM so it was stuck on that screen for 9 straight hours.. It's really freaking me out now. I tried to do it again and then I tried to reset it by turning it off and hitting 'SHIFT+CTRL+OPT' and holding the power button.. Nothing happened but I tried to turn it on again and it stayed on the same screen again... I have no idea what is happening and it's freaking me out now... So does anyone know how to fix this? Or even had it happen to them before?
    If it helps I bought the computer in October of 2009.

    Try to get into your machine and if you do, the first thing you do is
    backup your files to a external drive. (not TimeMachine) via regular
    drag and drop methods.
    Disconnect this drive. and all others.
    Repair Permissions /Drive from the installer disk
    You can then c boot off the installer disk for your OS version and
    under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility > Repair Disk and
    Repair Permissions.
    Any warnings related to Disk Repair that are not repaired
    is a sign of trouble.
    This one about permissions you can ignore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Reinstall OS X
    Also you can reinstall just OS X itself while c booted off the
    installer disk, shouldn't effect your programs or files
    (but backup all files just in case)
    Hold off Software updating until your third party software
    has a update to work with the current OS X version.
    OnyX clean and check
    You can download and run ALL the cleaning and maintenance
    aspects of the free OnyX and reboot here:
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Also use OnyX Verify > Preferences (check to show only corrupt)
    plist files, write them down and find them and move them to your
    desktop and reboot, they will be rebuilt. If everything is fine then
    delete the old plists and set your preferences again.
    Most drastic method
    If that don't work, c boot off the installer disk again, this time
    use Disk Utility to Erase >format HFS+ Journaled with Security
    option > Zero All Data (will take some time) This will totally
    wipe the drive of everything and is a last ditch effort.
    When it's done quit, and reinstall OS X.
    You'll have to go through the setup and reinstall your programs
    and files from backup. Secret is use the same user name and
    drive name as the previous time so your iTunes folder will work
    without a hitch.
    If you restore from TimeMachine, it's possible whatever problem
    you had can return, but you can try and if it doesn't work, just
    repeat above without TimeMachine.
    Clone your boot drive
    Later look at free/donationware Carbon Copy Clone your boot
    drive to a external HFS+ Journaled formatted drive (in Disk Utility)
    and keep in a safe place, it hold option bootable, reverse clone
    great if your hard drive bites it, or TimeMachine gets hosed.
    TM isn't bootable.

  • Hi guys, an empty folder is stuck in my trash & I get this message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in the folder can't be read or written. (Error code -36). It won't shift no matter how I try to Secure Empty trash. Any ideas?

    The Time Machines Backup is formated as Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), my mac is formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    The names on the file are all Uppercase
    When I try to copy the Aperture file, it copies about 70% of the file (it's about 33GB in size), and halfway through I get this error.
    I'm able to copy 99.99% of all of the images if I open the Aperture Folder using the "show package contents" under the backups using finder (Time Machine Backups>Backups.backupdb>CQ Macbook Air>2012-04-30-070933>HD.....>Pictures>Aperture Library). The only file I can't copy is that picture, which I'm totally ok with deleting, but Finder won't delete it for me. If nothing else works, I could copy the individual masters and re-create the folders, however I'd hate to do this as I would have to go through 10,000+ pics

  • Stuck in Lion installation *LIMBO* - disk damaged, disk wont repair, disk is locked, wont revert back to snow leopard

    I'm stuck in Limbo.  I cant complete the install and cant revert back to snow leopard.  All I have are the installer utilites (including safari).
    I'm running a summer 2009 release macbook pro 17 inch.  I downloaded the Lion install app and proceeded to follow the instructions and guided.  After less than a minute the install stopped to say that it could not be completed because the hard disk is damaged and can’t be repaired.
    So...I went to disc utility to verify the disk and this is what I got. 
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Incorrect number of file hard links
    Bad hard link creation date
    (It should be 3325742596 instead of 3340504404)
    Hard link record has data extents (id = 2888169)
    Checking multi-linked files.
    The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
    So I put in my Snow Leopard disk and went to repair disk.  Now, THIS is what I got.
    Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    So then I wanted to go back to Snow Leopard at least, but I cant.  When I go to “Startup Disk” and select my Mac 10.6.8 drive, it says:
    You can’t change the startup disk from the selected disk. 
    Startup Disk could not gather enough information on Selected Disk.
    So that’s annoying because it keeps me stuck in that installation "limbo" - not able to finish installing and not able to go back. 
    I restarted, holding down the OPTION key, but it only gave me one boot selection - the installer itself. 
    So then I try yet again to install this thing because there’s not much else I can do...but now it won’t even start installing...when the installer screen asks which drive I want to install it on, for which I would of course choose my Macintosh HD, it says in subscript underneath Macintosh HD:
    “This disk is locked”  and it wont let me select the “continue” button to begin the installation.
    Please help, someone.  

    phew, just got everything back to "normal"
    I turned off my mac for about 10 minutes and then started it up again.  Also I think this time i inserted my snow leopard disc at just the right time, not too early not too late.
    Whatever it was, when i went to "Startup Disk" the snow leopard disc showed up!
    So then I went to disk utility after booting the snow leopard installer for the first time.  It said it repaired one thing but then stopped and said it couldnt repair it and told me to back up and reformat.
    Then I just ran a simple verify again and it said the HD was "OK" - it gave me a clean bill of health?!?!
    So then I went to startup disk again, and was finally able to get out of limbo and back to good old snow leopard.
    Now I'll install Lion, but taking all cautions beforehand...maybe i'll wait a few days first though.
    Thanks to everyone.

  • Apple script is stuck working with Numbers

    Hello, everyone
    I need some help.
    I wrote a script what was supposed to do perform following:
    I receive a Numbers-format file imported to my Mac from iPad with iTunes
    This file is a sort of daily journal. Every row includes info about one particular client. A name of the client is in column 2. The file name is always "Blank.numbers" and the table name is always "Blank". I need to copy this table in a new file and collect the data for each client in a different table . In other word i need to make new tables in a new file and copy client info in its own table.
    The script is below. It seems to work right (it makes a new file, makes some tables, puts correct info into them) but one thing happens  - it's stuck in a little while after run. Sure, I reloaded my Mac and not ones but nothing at all - zero effect, the same thing happened over again, after the script successfully worked it  was stuck and i just could see "running". My test data file consists of just up to 40 rows, but I've never had this work completely done. 
    Not much scriptwriter of myself - it's just my very first experience in the subject and I have no clue about why it could be, so I'll appreciate for any suggestion

    Hello
    Then I have no idea why the script hangs after it has done the job.
    Some thoughts.
    • Is it the same in different user account?
    • If you force quit the script, is the resulting new document fine? In other words, is the problem limited to the termination of the script? You can quit a running script by means of i) pressing command + period, which will signal to cancel the execution of the script or ii) killing the process (editor or applet) by Activity Monitor.
    Anyway, I have done some clean up and optimization of your script as listed below although I can see no reason for these changes to solve the current issue. It is just for my testing and liking for low energy consumption.
    Script is revised so that -
    a) it gets the template path indepent of the location of Numbers.app;
    b) it reduces the number of AppleEvents to send for retrieving data from table by means of range reference form (e.g., rows i thru j) and whose filter reference (e.g., rows whose cell i's value = x);
    c) its GetTable() handler now returns 2d arary of values instead of cell references so that it can reduce the number of AppleEvents for dereferencing the cell reference later;
    d) it introduces _main() handler to localise the implicit global variables in run handler (as already explained);
    e) in _main() handler, code is encapsulated in an script object and the script object is executed by "run script" command, which is a known technique to speed up the execution of script when saved as applet. (Actually this only makes the applet run as fast as compiled script run in editor. Without this, applet runs remarkably slower than run in editor.)
    Hope this may be of some help.
    Good luck,

    Your havnt said what your trying to do so your posts are very confusing
    with this new drive do you want to:
    install the operating system on the new drive
    format the drive to use it as storage
    create a standby bootable drive
    something else entirely
    Your screen shots show you have an internel drive and three other drives
    The drive you have erased is an external USB connected drive - youv erased and partitioned the drive and it shows it is working OK
    what do you want to do now?
    if the idea is to replace your original systen drive with this new drive youv bought the wrong kind of drive it should have been an internal drive
    but you need to explain wahat as the drive shows it functioning correctly
