TM causes problem on other partition of split drive

I have a LaCie 320 d2 which is partitioned with 120GB for Time Machine and the rest for general storage. All goes well on the TM side, but the remaining partition has had problems twice now.
The symptoms are the general area being unable to accept any more data, giving the error that the current file is in use. It doesn't matter what type the file is, or how large. When it reaches its limit, it will clunk a few times and stop with an error message.
The latest time happened when I was transferring a folder containing 11GB of mixed files from my desktop to the general area. I left it to get on with it, but while I was away TM started to backup, including the 11GB folder on my desktop. This leads me to believe that TM was trying to read the file at the same time as Finder was copying it. Whatever problem it encountered was left on the HD and stops it from writing any more data.
I can't remember whether there was a similar 'double copy' scenario the first time. The problem can be fixed only by erasing the drive entirely (one partition only doesn't help) then repartitioning and restarting TM.
I do have other storage, on the network, so if the problem occurs again I will leave the whole drive as TM. I'd rather not, as a FW drive is very handy to have.
If anyone has had any similar problems or knows how the problem is caused/might be solved, please let me know.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the Apple boards.
Do you have TM set to backup the other half of the external drive? That might cause an issue.
I would suggest doing your copying right after TM ends a backup. While LaCie drives are quite good, you are really asking it to multitask if you are copying a file to it while TM is trying to backup both the original file and the one being copied. You may find that some of your files are locked and marked open which can cause problems.
Delete any files that were being copied during this process and recopy them, unless you have already deleted the original, in which case you might find it on TM, in which case you can copy the TM backup onto your internal drive and then over to the other partition after removed the bad file.

  • IPhone causes problems on other USB devices?

    Is anyone having problems with external USB hard drives or any other USB peripheral when his iPhone is connected to a Windows PC or sometime after that?
    I'm having some problems with external USB hard drives when the Windows system is continuously hammering them for more than a half-hour. The problem is not easily reproducable, and I don't know the cause.
    It probably has nothing to do with the iPhone. But one possibility I have to consider is that the iPhone draws enough current (or something else I haven't thought of) that interefers with the USB communications.

    What I meant in my previous post was that the USB wouldn't allow the iPhone to draw more current than the USB can safely provide, unless it was defective. I have an external hardrive, a wireless mouse, my printer and my iPhone connected directly to my laptop's USB ports and have not seen any problems with any of them. In several years of using USB devices, I've not seen any problems that I could assign to the USB ports/controllers... they just seem to work all the time. Will be interested as to your findings.

    First, thanks for posting the code that lets us reproduce your test. That is essential for issues like this.
    Because the primary key is global you will not be able to use
    INCLUDING INDEXES
    WITH VALIDATION;And you will need to add the primary key to the temp table
    ALTER TABLE DEMO_INTERVAL_DATA_LOAD_Y ADD CONSTRAINT IDX_DEMO_ROLL_Y PRIMARY KEY (ROLL_NUM);The the exchange will work. You will need to rebuild the primary key after the exchange.

  • Opening a pdf in firefox causes problems in other opened tabs

    When I open a pdf on firefox, if I switch tabs, i.e. to any other website, and try to scroll down with the mousewheel it won't work, only the pdf file scrolls down, even if I'm not working on that tab. This happened to me with an old laptop (XP), now I have a new one (W7), and I have the same problem, so I guess is not a computer problem.
    Also, at work the pdf files work properly.

    Starting in Chrome 42, NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader will no longer work nor be shown in the chrome://plugins page.

  • CMap files installed by Photoshop 6 causes problems in other Adobe applications.

    Q: After installing Photoshop 6, I am unable to launch ImageStyler 1.0 or ImageReady 1.0 and when I exit PageMaker 6.5, I get a kernel32.dll error. What's going on?
    A: Photoshop 6 installs 2 CMap files that are incompatible with ImageStyler ImageReady 1.0, and PageMaker 6.5. To resolve the problem, remove the 2 CMap files "Adobe-Japan1-PS-H" and "Adobe-Japan1-PS-V" from the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd folder. All affected applications should function properly now.

    Replacement Cmap files are now available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/8702.htm.

  • Fundamental question about EDD - why localized? Will this cause problems in other languages?

    Hi,
    I am running a German version of FrameMaker. All commands in the EDD appear in German. What happens when someone uses the EDD with an English or Chinese version of FrameMaker? Will this work as well?
    If editors have a look at the EDD, do they see German commands or commands in their own language?
    Can I simply change to English instead of German commands? 
    Thanks for your reply.
    Apollo102

    Hi Apollo,
    the EDDs are based on a Meta-EDD, that carries the whole localization of the EDD structure and the EDD structure itself.
    This Meta-EDD is the elemcat file Lynne mentioned. If you replace it with a version that is localized in some other language, your standard EDD will take over that localization.
    You could even modify the Meta-EDD to suit your EDD building needs better (I already saw some approach into that direction) or you could localize your EDDs to some completely different and yet unsupported language if you liked (Klingon EDD style, qapla'!).
    The localization in itself is bound to the file where you embed the EDD (or Meta-EDD), so everyone who opens the EDD will find the language used for the original.

I am concerning about the recent performance of my pc , especially when it comes to sounds in games. At?"Counterstrike .5" my pc hangs for about half a second or less if I use those "radio commands" like Go-Go-Go or Need-Backup, sometimes if other players use them. Sometimes it does those stupid things like?described below.At "Mercedes Benz World Racing" I recognized that if I hit a Sign or sth else that won't move, it plays a loud sound, as everyone can expect if u hit those things. From that on i can't control my car anymore, well, in fact I am able to, but the controls I?do with my keyboard are ... i would say "buffered" and "doubled" ---- Hit the sign -> immediately
    or after that press back to reverse -> car dri'ves about 00-200 meters back, other controls I?do are added after that with delay of each about 2-3 seconds and can't be stopped. I turned down the volume of those sounds and it worked a while, but I am not allowed to increase volume of my pc, else it will go like that again. It results in minimal to zero global sound at this game... My Windows is about 4 months old and I cant find drivers for my soundcard. I've installed the drivers from my creative-cd that came together with my soundblaster. I have downloaded a few driver packages from the creative homepage in earlier times but it is always a try-and-cry to get the proper drivers installed.

Those problems occured the first time for about year or later. At the moment there are no IRQ-conflicts. Please tell me whats wrong here or help me find the right driver.

    Now I have a new system and like you said I want to dedicate this older mechine to being a media pc and started looking into things again.
    I wanted to update drivers and see that I missed an update in July of 03 or I could use a new patch but my drivers are from march of 03 and I can't find the other update.
    Come on SB where is the support we pay a premium to get.

    Hi;
    I apologize about your not being able to reply to my response in the Payments sub-forum, thanks for re-posting here.
    I forwarded your issue to a Support team that will take care of it.  If you could send me a good contact phone # via email to [email protected] I will give that to the Support team so they have a few ways to contact you.  Please also include the AdobeID for both accounts so they know what all to look at.

  • Firmware Update 1.7 drains battery and causes problems for sound

    I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with a SSD. After installing Firmware 1.7 I saw the beach ball over and over even after rebooting... this problem got resolved after I plugged in power cable and is now gone even when it is running on battery. But the sound of my MBP goes randomly on/off when I plug in/out my headphones and the worst problem is that prior to the 1.7 I got up to 5 hours of battery but now only 2:30 hours. I've only 470 cycles of my battery. Resseting the SMC didn't help and unfortuaneltly there is no way of downgrading the firmware. What should I do?? This is definietly a firmware problem which supposedly was released to solve a rare battery problem on some machines not to cause problems on others.

    I am seeing this problem as well.
    Before the SMC Update 1.7 the battery was fine. After, it hibernated within a half hour of use on battery. Upon wake-up the Service Battery warning is in the battery menu, and the time remaining calculation has gone from several hours at a full charge to less than 10 minutes.
    My battery is original MacBookPro8,2; I rarely work on battery, relying on it mostly to keep my computer going while asleep during a half hour commute to/from work. System Information's Power tab reports
    Cycle Count:          19
    I plan to try a battery calibration soon; if that fails, then the Apple Store.

  • Re: Does partitionning cause problems with the Toshiba Recovery System ?

    I'm french so don't be afraid of mistakes !
    I wonder if I can repartition my HDD as I want
    First of all, I explain you what I've understood with the FAQ:
    If Vista fail to boot, Toshiba Recovery in the hidden partition WinRE ( eisa configuration) offer to repair and use either the DVD we have burn or the directory HDDRecovery in the partition E: to repair.
    My question is if I don't have the DVD (or if I lost it) :
    Can I repartition my HDD (not the Recovery partition but enlarge the partition C: en reduce the partition E:) without causing problems of recovery ?
    In other terms will the Recovery partition at boot update the position of recovery files in E:
    And if it works, can I simply copy-paste the HDDRecovery directory from E: to C: and then to E: while I format E:
    Thank you for your answers
    Juju313

    Hello
    I think you mixed up something...
    The hidden Windows partition (Recovery Environment) has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery procedure. This is a Windows feature that is on all PCs and notebooks available so my suggestion is you read this good Wikipedia article about this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_Environment
    The HDD recovery files are stored on the second partition of the HDD in the folder HDDRecovery. So if you use the HDD recovery function only the first partition will be formatted and you can only use this feature if you have access to the advanced boot menu. If you dont have it you must use the Toshiba recovery disk because the disk formats the whole HDD and restore the factory settings of the notebook (the HDD recovery too but only with the first partition).
    You can change the partition size of both partitions but there should be enough free space on both partitions. Otherwise the HDD recovery does maybe not work.
    About the Vista partition tool I can prefer this useful article:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm
    I hope you understand it better now and if you have more questions please let us know.

  • Tiger Classic-ified the OS9 on the other partition.

    Hi,
    I recently bought this G4 QS and a 5-license DVD of Tiger (black disk with a silver 'X'), both second-hand.
    Being a newbie to OS X I also bought about 9 bookshelf inches of Tiger books.
    I fitted the G4 with a new 140 Gb hard drive and partitioned it roughly 100/40, taking care to put the OS9 drivers on both partitions.
    I then installed OS9.2.2 from a gray G4 installation CD onto both partitions (no apparent problems there) and then put Tiger onto the larger partition.
    I opted for this configuration because I have several older applications and files on my various older Macs and one of the books advised choosing a dual-boot system because not all older apps will run under Classic mode. I want to be able to be able to access my legacy files in the transition period until I have got more familiar with Tiger.
    Here are my questions:
    Tiger has modified the OS9 on the larger partition (which I expected it to do) but it has also modified (Classic-ified) the copy of OS9 on the smaller partition as well, is this normal?
    Will the machine behave properly as a dual-boot system?
    Did I make some mistake with my installation procedure and, if so, should I try to correct it?
    All helpful advice and suggestions will be gratefully received.
    Best regards,
    Pete.

    OS X makes modifications to OS 9 to help classic mode. These modifications do not cause problems when you boot OS 9. There is normally no need for a separate partition for OS 9. OS 9 in an OS X partition can be used with OSX as Classic, or can be booted directly. There are a couple of reasons, though, why you might want separate partitions:
    1) You need to run some OS 9 applications that require modifications to OS 9 that make it not work as Classic in OSX.
    2) You want to be able to select OS 9 or Classic at boot time using the Option key. If they are in the same partition and boot is set to OS 9, you can get OSX by holding X while booting, but if it is set to OSX, you have to boot OSX, then choose OS 9 in the "Startup Disk" system preference.

  • Null values from DB2 cause problems

    Hi,
    I have another problem with database link to DB2 using IBM iSeries Access for Linux on 64 bit OEL5 with Oracle Database gateway and unixODBC 2.2.14.
    DB link works. However, null values from DB2 cause problems. Date columns that are null on db2 return a date '30.11.0002', and character columns that are null return an error ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error.
    isql returns correct results.
    How can i fix this? Perhaps set some parameters for data conversion on the gateway?
    Thank you.

    If the driver is not fully ODBC level 3 compliant and misses functions, we're lost. But sometimes the drivers are ODBC level 3 compliant but miss the correct 64bit implementation. In those cases we can tell the gateway to use the 32bit ODBC level 3 standard by setting in the gateway init file:
    HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32

  • I want to uninstall ReloadEvery as I think it is causing problems however it is not in my list of Extensions or Plugins yet it is clearly installed, I tried reinstalling FF but it was still there! How can I get rid of it?

    I installed ReloadEvery a while ago and it seemed to be working fine however I am now having problems with FF crashing and weird things like pages not reloading and not being able to use the back button etc
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF and upgrading to FF 4.
    When I upgraded to FF 4 I was still having problems even though I didn't have any Extensions installed at all, or so I thought. I noticed that ReloadEvery was still installed. I was rather puzzled as I had done a clean install of FF 4. I want to remove ReloadEvery to see if it will solve my problems.
    I have also tried following the help on the FF Troubleshooting about manually uninstalling Extensions but again ReloadEvery not listed there yet I am still able to use it in FF!
    I want to get rid of it!! I really need some help please.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
