"This USB drive cannot be used. Please format the USB drive as single FAT partition."

I only have one external drive..can I use it both for time machine AND saving windows support for bootcamp?
I partitioned my external drive into two: one for Time Machine backup, and the other as MS-DOS FAT.
But this won't work when I use the BootCamp Assistant. What should I do? I don't want to reformat my external drive and not have a backup of my Mac, and I need to install PC-only software for class.

Find/borrow a 8gb or larger USB flash drive

  • "Format USB drive to single FAT partition"

    I'm trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro, but when I was going to save the Windows support software to my external hard drive I'm told to "format the USB drive to single FAT partition."  I thought I had done that, but after I used the same hard drive to back up my computer, it seems that it went back to its original format.  Does the hard drive have to be empty to download the support software, or did something else go wrong?

    try formatting with ExFat, it'll detect immediately.

    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the USB drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to MBR then click on the OK button. Set the format type to MSDOS. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

  • HT4759 Please help me. My Apple id not be used in iCloud. After sign in, to iCloud, I have error massage: This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

    Please help me. My Apple id not be used in iCloud. After sign in, to iCloud, I have error massage: This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

    For whatever reasons, the "None" option is not always available to all users and I think it may be related to what country you live in. Short of contacting Apple to get it straightened out, if you haven't done anything with your new ID ye - you can create an Apple ID without a credit card and simply abandon the one that you just created.
    This explains how you can creaet an ID without a credit card.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    The two big things that you have to remember for this to work are ... you have to sign out of your existing Apple ID .... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Then you have to try to download a free app to bring up the window that asks you to sign in or create an ID. Read the information on the website that I referenced above.
    If you have not used the original Apple ID for anything yet, you can simply ignore it and use the new one - or like I said earlier - contact iTunes support and ask them to help you sort it out.
    Here is a link to iTunes support. You can change the country in the bottom right corner of the screen.

    there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

    If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • G/L account 200010 cannot be used (please correct) Message no. ME045

    HI All,
    When I am trying to create PO for purchasing an asset from MM, I am getting below error.
    I have chosen "A" in Account Assingment Category and given Asset number.
    GL 200010 is APC GL Account defined corrected.
    G/L account 200010 cannot be used (please correct)
    Message no. ME045
    Diagnosis
    Comparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 200010 and the account assignment category A reveals that there is an incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection group 'Asset number / subnumber'.
    The G/L account field selection is stored in table T004F; that for the account assignment is stored in table T162K.
    Procedure
    Please enter a correct G/L account.
    Can you pls advice me.

    Dear expert
    The message ME045 is raised whenever there is an inconsistency between the G/L account field selection setup in table T004F and the account assignment field selection setup in table T162K. This is same as explained in the long text of the error message.
    Please re-check the following:
    Adjust the field status definition of table T162K to the field selection in Financial Accounting (table T004F). Proceed as follows:
    1. Determine the item of the field in question in the field selection string. You obtain this information from table TMODU, in the 'MODIF' column in transaction SE16.
    2. Edit table T162K using transaction SM31 and change the position of the field status definition in question. An optional entry '.' might be a good starting point in many cases.
    Or better
    Please, kindly try this:
    .- In transaction FS03 check for the relevant G/L account number and the relevant Company Code, the Field Status Group (under the tab for 'Create / bank / interest').
    .- For this Field Status Group and Company Code check the customizing transaction OBC4.Under the 'Additional account assignments' group see the setting maintained.
    .- Now check with OME9 for your account assignment category 'A'
    Are these two settings the same ones? Just in case, please set both of them to 'Optional' and re-test the system behavior afterwards.

    Hi
    T004F - Field status definition groups, this table relates to the field status group assigned in the G/L account.
    T162K - Field Selection, Account Assignment Fields, Purchasing, This table relates to the Account assignemnt category.
    These two are linked up. The field selection of account assignment category should be compatible with the field selection of Account being used.
    For eg. you are using K- cost center as account assignment & G/L account is specified & it has Project as Mandatory & cost center supressed. Then you need to make both K & the G/L compatible by making cost center as Mandatory & Project as optional.
    Goto Transaction FS00, Check the G/L account filed status group in Create/ Bank/Interest tab.
    Goto Transaction OBC4, Select the field status variant attached to the compnay code.Click on the field status group.Select the field status group & click on details.
    Now change the field Costcenter to Optional

    Hi,
    Please check the field status group for GL Account 10600026 and field status of account assignment category S in OME9. Cost center field must be optional, required, display or suppressed, as you may want.
