TM errors with WD Passport drive.

Hi,
I've been using a Western Digital 320Gb Passport drive as my Time Machine drive. Lately I have been getting either a 'device removed' type error after starting TM, or TM seems to get 'stuck' at the 'preparing backup' stage of a back up. There is ~228Gb available on the drive and I am using a macbook with OS 10.5.8. Is there a general issue with WD Passport drives and TM? If not, what troubleshooting steps are recommended?
Thanks.

I purchased a 500GB USB/Firewire passport drive and couldn't get it to copy a full folder of documents. It kept hanging. I went to their site and found out they have drivers that have to be installed for the drives to work properly. While it did get rid of the problem and made the drive really fast, that means you can't use the drive on a computer that doesn't have the drivers installed. Bummer!

  • ORA-24816 error with oracle 10 driver

    Friends,
    I am getting the following error with Oracle 10 driver while trying to insert data > 4k into a LONG column. The table also contains another column of type varchar2(4000). The code works perfectly fine with Oracle 9i driver.
    ORA-24816: Expanded non LONG bind data supplied after actual LONG or LOB column
    Kindly let me know if this is a programming error or a driver problem.
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    this driver you mentioned, is it the jdbc driver?
    ORA-24816:     Expanded non LONG bind data supplied after actual LONG or LOB column
    Cause:     A Bind value of length potentially > 4000 bytes follows binding for LOB or LONG.

  • Petstore throws populateServlet error with Oracle thin driver

    When i point connection pool to Oracle database, i get the following error. The
    data is populated in the database, looks like when petstore is enumerating db
    tables and make sure all tables exist, this error is happening. Some how, database

  • 3F0 Error with Good Hard Drive

    OK I just got a No Boot Device Found(3F0) With a hard drive I know works. I was working on a friends computers and switched the hard drives to see if that was their issue which it was. My hard drive booted up fine in their computer. When I put it back in my computer i got a the error from above, and when I put it back in the other computer it still works fine. I did a system restore to yesterday incase there were drivers that were messing things up but the error still exists, any ideas?

    Ok, it is an HDX16t with Windows 7 64-bit OS. I bought it in June 2009, but got it refurbished due to it being dropped in November of 2009. It hasn't been dropped or anything since then. other specs 2.13 GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, 130M GeForce Graphics.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Time Machine errors with external hard drive

    This is my first post,
    I've had my MBP for a little over 8 months and came up with an error when i went to go use bootcamp, saying that it could not partition my windows partition cause there is not enough space ( I have like at least 40+ gigs left after i partition it) and it tells me to backup and re-install. So what I wanted to do is do a time machine restore.
    I take my 750GB Western Digital External Drive via Firewire and plug it in, time machine recognizes it and wants to format it as "Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled). So I do that and it all goes well.
    After that's all done is basically when all my problems come. My external likes to lock up now and doesn't want to transfer all my files. I will load up the time machine restore and it sometimes will recognize my external and sometimes wont show up. My external will occasionally lock up during the time machine restore process. And all the time when it does actually complete and I restart the computer, it will have most of my things but all my pictures and stuff are missing off it and i go to look in my external and its still all in there but I'm left wondering why it didn't work.
    As another resort i did a fresh re-install of mac os x and tried the migration assistant. It went going to restore it but then comes up with an error saying that it cant transfer the data and tells me to plug in my external when i have it already plugged in.
    Since that didn't work I did another re-install of mac and decided to just start fresh, I still had all my music and other things that I had on my back up and tried putting them on my mac's hard drive and towards the middle and stuff it will come up with an error saying that it could not transfer files anymore and what not.
    So I'm left scratching my head in wonder, because my external will show up on my desktop and I'm able to search files through there ok.
    Could the possible problem be is that time machine partitioned it as journaled and case-sensative while my mac is partitioned as just journaled? Would that cause a conflict of having it locking up and giving me errors?
    This is really the first time I've ever really been able to seriously play around with a mac and am totally lost and don't know what I can be doing wrong.
    The external I have I just got last year not too long ago and it was working great before this.
    I've been trying for the past 3 days straight trying to figure out this problem and have had no luck.
    Please any help would really be appreciated greatly.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Ok I tried what you said and I failed every time.
    But here is an interesting thing that I just figured out. What I tried was making a folder on the desktop and I went into the time machine backup that I had I went and manually copied the applications, library, system, users, and developer folder thinking that it may work. Well it did for me with all the folders but not the Library folder. I think that it may be the culprit behind it cause it may be corrupt and thats why my stuff will keep locking up.
    I will start copying all the other folders and they work just fine but then i would start to copy the Library folder and it would come up saying preparing to copy to "so and so" folder. well a bit into that it will stop and my external will spin down and stop working, all the other things being copied will stop in their tracks. But when I cancel it and wait a few for it to finally cancel, all my other folders will continue to copy to my desktop to the specified folder. I tried copying the Library folder over and over but same thing happened. It locked my system and my external up.
    I thought all along that I had a bad external drive when i knew it worked well when I first got it.
    So could that be a possibility that there's something in that folder that would completely halt everything when I'm copying? Because I've really never done a fresh reinstall of mac os x when I bought the machine. This backup is the factory install.
    I'm just sitting here right now making sure that these other folders that are copying get done so I know that I can single out the Library folder. And so far so good with all the copying via firewire.

  • 805a01f4 error with updating nokia drive

    Hello, I have bought a new windows 8 phone from Nokia. Every feature which is default with the phone is great and I have no issues with any of them. But when am trying to open the Windows Store to update Nokia drive, am getting the error code with the message "Error Code : 805a01f4 The Store is not available at the moment please try again." I tried to open it many times but all the time I get the same message. I havn't had any problems with every other application update, only with Nokia drive.
    If the microsoft has provided any fix in advance for this error, please let me know about it completely. Thank you.

    That's nor the issue neither the point: It's just the Drive+-app which is causing trouble to update; the other Apps & the store in general are working just fine.
    The point is that Nokia is making big fame on their website by stating that the Drive+-app is a major improvement over other smartphones as they off a complete SatNav-solution for free.
    Customers like me who have fallen for this, are being cheated, because in the end the App doesn't deliver & can't be updated.
    The errorcode doesn't seem to have anything to do with the store, just with the availability of the update. Strange however that we are been presented with the same 'general' error.
    Patience? When I just bought a brandnew car, I guess it won't be considered normal to return to the dealer with complains about the functionality of the steering wheel, & just get the answer: "Yeah, we know, have some patience, we will fix it in the near future. Perhaps...".

  • How to handle ORA-28001 error with JDBC thin driver ?

    Dear reader,
    As you all know, ORACLE returns error ORA-28001 upon a connection attempt when the user's password has expired.
    Handling the error in OCI is quite simple, thanks to the function OCIPasswordChange(). However, I have not been able to find a JAVA equivalent in the Oracle JDBC library.
    I have found a field called oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.set_new_password_string, and a field oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_SET_NEW_PASSWORD, but I have really no idea on how to use them (if appropriate) so as to allow the user to change his/her password on the fly.
    I greatly appreciate having any advice from anyone who happened to be faced with that problem.
    Best regards.

    Hi,
    according to Note [124970.1 Example: How to Change an Expired Password in JDBC?|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:2181952130729466734::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,124970.1,1,1,1,helvetica] it's possible with JDBC Thick (OCI) driver only.

  • Re: Error with Bluetooth Stack driver on Protege Z830

    Error during installation of Bluetooth Stack for Windows 7 (15/05/12 version) : first driver "Bluetooth USB controller-10" installed correctly but second one "Bluetooth RFBUS" fails.
    Consequently Bluetooth does not work. PC says it is not activated (with Fn+F8 or running Bluetooth paramater)
    Nota : the Atheros driver is up to date. I have tried with and without the Bluetooth Driver Filter Package 1.0.9.
    What should I do ?
    Thanks !
    PS : Protege Z830 PT224E with windows 7 64 bits

    Oh, c'mon, folks, don't be so skeptical when someone reports a problem. What does it matter the reasons we can have reinstalling the bluetooth stack?
    The fact is that THERE IS an issue with it. I'm also experiencing this problem the last OFFICIAL update. And I'm using only software provided by the Toshiba drivers download webpage, therefore it SHOULD work, as approved by Toshiba. (Model z830-10F, shipping the Atheros hardware)
    When installing the new stack, the Bluetooth RFBUS (driver 8.0.2005.0) shows the typical yellow icon, and the device status reports "this device cannot start (code 10)". You all know how very useful are codes in Windows, don't you? :D
    If I try to install any other driver for the RFBUS (from Atheros website for example) it fails saying I have already the latest driver. I've tried installing the Toshiba provided bluetooth stack with and without bluetooth activated in the BIOS, and it makes no difference: the install process gets stuck at some point, and it goes no further, no matter how much I wait.
    Then of course I have to kill the process, after which, obviously the install doesn't work properly. Some suggestions about this?
    A piece of information which might be interesting: when installing the stack, if I watch closely the device manager, there is a moment when the RFBUS appears and shows up with no problem, but then a moment later in the install process it shows the yellow icon.
    Please, no replies like: "reinstall Windows from recovery partition", or "use previous bluetooth stack version". We're too grown up for that, aren't we? ;) Unless, of course, someone can tell me how or where to get the previous stack.
    Thanks.

  • MSI Z77A G43 A2 Error with Bluray SATA Drive

    Hey guys!
    My old Asus P67 motherboard died last week so I bought this board as a replacement. I plugged everything correctly and it seemed to work at first. PC booted fine into windows and I was able to play all my usual games and do my usual stuff.
    After an hour or so I restarted the PC after installing the new chipset driver and LAN + Audio driver. I then got the A2 problem. I get this error code before the BIOS Picture. I googled around and it seems to be a problem with the SSD/HDD connectors or something. I then went about trying to find out which drive was causing it and it was my Bluray SATA Drive. The PC will start fine if I do not connect it, but once I do I cannot get passed the A2 error. I tried running the MSI Live Update 5 software to update my BIOS but it says I have the "latest" version.
    Any thing you guys recommend? The Bluray SATA Drive worked fine on my old motherboard.
    Thanks.

    The SSDs and three other drives? So you are trying to populate all ports? If so try removing one of the other drives and retry.
    Yes. I got too many drives laying around xD. Edit: 1 x SSD Crucial C300 64 GB for OS. 1 X SSD Kingston 240 GB for games. 2 x WD 1 TB Drives for storage. 1 x WD Raptor Drive for other programs.
    About your request, I did this earlier on today when I was trying to find out what was causing the problem. It did not help the issue when I unplugged one of the other SATA Drives. Still would not start while the bluray player was connected.

  • [solved] Optibay SSD/HDD error with SATA2/3 drive in late 2011 model

    Hi,
    I'd like to post just in case someone else stumbles over this problem: I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro. Some of them are equipped with DVD drives (or rather connectors) that allow 6GB/s (SATA III), others only allow 3GB/s (SATA II). I happen to have one of the SATA III models (check About this Mac > More information > System report > SATA; in my case it says "link speed: 6GB/s").
    When I upgraded my system drive to SSD I chose to go the optibay route - taking out the DVD drive and replacing it with a caddy so I can use my old HDD in it. Unfortunately afterwards I couldn't write or do anything with the HDD. I just got a Finder error -50. I tried formatting but that didn't work and messed up the whole situation. When I tried to delete the partion with disk utility I got an error "Partition failed with error. Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed." (for German users, so Google's their friend as well: Auf Deutsch heißt diese Fehlermeldung im Festplattendienstprogramm "Das Entfernen der Volumendaten zum Verhindern zukünftiger unbeabsichtigter Überprüfungen ist fehlgeschlagen").
    Changing positions of HDD and SSD appearently is a bad idea because people got beachballs and freezes and all kinds of things. I finally resolved my problem by buying another caddy (=optibay) that was specifically only for SATA 2 (although my system report tells me I could use SATA 3...); in contrast my old caddy was for SATA 3. Voilà, the error is gone and I can write on the HDD just fine again.
    I hope this helps anyone.

    For solution please read my full question.

  • Why an MS Jet Access error with Oracle Thin Driver?

    I am getting the following error when attempting to connect to an Oracle 8i database on a UNIX server from a servlet on an NT server using Jrun:
    Error
    java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'EMPLOYEE'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
    Where could this come from since I am importing the Oracle classes and have the JRun and system classpath set to where classes12.jar is located.
    I am using this syntax to get the connection:
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.20.10.112:1521:databasename",
    "username",
    "password");

    it seems like the connection is being made successfully, otherwise you would get a different error.
    Maybe your SQL has to be case sensitive in relation to the tablename??

  • Spinning Wheel crashes at start up, Not an error with actual hard drive.

    I recently bought a second hand macbook pro 2009. The guy told me it worked fine but you couldn't update the Operating System. I was okay with this because we agreed it must be a hard drive issue and i wanted to replace it with a 1tb SSHD anyway. I tried to enter disk utility to wipe the original 160gb hard drive, but like the guy said, the spinning wheel would just crash. So i installed my new 1000tb SSHD and the exact same thing happen, i insert a Mavericks USB, hold Option, click on the bootable USB and the spinning wheel starts and then stops.
    The only way i was able to wipe the 160gb using disk utility was doing it through my iMac and having the Macbook in Target mode.
    I know it's not a hard drive issue, as i bought three of these SSHD's and the other two worked fine. Would it be the hard drive cable or something else?
    Thanks.

    Any advice?

  • Display Driver Error (with up to date drivers)

    Hello!
    I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad R500 running Windows Vista.
    I seem to be having an issue with my display driver. Everytime I open Adobe Photoshop, I get an error that photoshop has encountered an error with my display driver, and it does not display images properly (they seem to be very low resolution).
    I checked my drivers, and everything is up to date. I even ran Windows Update just to be sure.
    Can anyone provide any feedback on this?

    Hi Chris,
    Thank you for your reply. I've done the Windows update and also gone into my device manager to check for updates. Everything says it is up to date.
    If I set the Photoshop GPU mode to basic, will things still appear correctly? Also... how do I do that?
    Steve - I've got enough VRAM. As far as the driver, it's the Mobile Intel (R ) 4 Chipset series. Is there another way to update this driver?
    I guess I'm wondering why my driver seems up to date in all aspects, but Photoshop (CS 6) is telling me there is an issue with the driver.

    hello,
    unfortunately the msiBlast tool dont indicate the LV RTE 6.0 !, too.
    See attachment  .pdf file for all installed applications
    So it seems to be a other problem of the MAX Version 3.0, showing a LV RTE, which does not exists.
    (The expected folder ...\shared\LabVIEW Run-time\6.0 is not present, too.)
    Nevertheless i dont have any idea to solve the problem with the R6025 Error ?
    Note: In case of manually killing the LV TS RTE within the windows system control (testsequence is running) , a blue screen with error indication for nidaq32k.sys arises !?
