Trashed File System

The file system got scrambled enough on my Tiger installation that I couldn't get the Startup Disk control panel to load on boot. I've bought a new, bigger disk, installed Leopard, and would now like to salvage the file system on my Tiger installation so I can move things. (I have a clone that's a few weeks old - just hoping to preserve more recent information.)
Verifying with Disk Utility failed. The log is short :
= Verifying volume “disk1s10”
= Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
= Invalid B-tree node size
= Volume check failed.
=
= Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
I only tried verification - haven't gone any farther yet.
I haven't had to recover data in quite a while, so I'm not sure about the latest tech. A few years ago, my first try would've been with DiskWarrior. Then Apple Disk Utility, then Micromat. I don't have a current copy of DiskWarrior, but do have a shiny copy of Disk Utility handy.
Any thoughts welcome regarding where best to start.

Many thanks for the reply - which was more or less what I expected. Still, good to have a second opinion for those of us who don't have to do this kinda thing very often.
The disk appears to be producing a lot of physical R/W errors. The file system was pretty mangled. Bad enough that it wouldn't try to rescue the original disk. I had to copy everything out of the preview to a new location. Stuff is missing. *sigh*
Better situation than before, though, when the partition wouldn't even mount.

SAP File System are being updated at Storage Level and as well as in Trash

Hi Friends,
We are facing a strange but serious issue with our linux system. We have multiple instance installed on it but one of the instance's file system are being visible in Trash.
The exact issue is this.
1. We have db2 installed on Linux now one of our instance's Mount Points are being available in LInux Trash if i create a file at storage level i.e /db2/SID/log_dir/touch test it will be dynamically updated in the trash and will be create in Trash also.
2 this can not be a normal behavior of any O.S.
3 if i delete any file from trash related to this particular SID (instance) file will be deleted from the actual location.
i know this is not related to SAP Configuration but i just want to find out root cause analysis. if any Linux expert can help in this issue waiting for an early reply.
Regards,

Hi Nelis,
I think you have misinterpreted this issue. let me explain you in detail. we have following mount points in storage including SAP installed on it.
/db2/BID
/db2/BID/log_dir
/db2/BID/log_dir2
/db2/BID/log_archive
/db2/BID/db2dump
/db2/BID/saptemp1
/db2/BID/sapdata1
/db2/BID/sapdata2
/db2/BID/sapdata3
/db2/BID/sapdata4
Now i can see the same mount points in the Trash of linux and if i create a folder ./ file in any of the above mentioned mount point it will be dynamically updated in Trash and if i delete some thing at storage / os level the same will be deleted from trash and vis versa.
I have checked everything no softlink exists anywhere but i am not sure about storage / os level thats what i want to find out?

Finder Cannot Complete Operation While Trying to Trash Files

When I try to trash files, I receive the following error message, "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in (file name trying to trash) could not be read or written. (Error Code - 36)."
Any help appreciated - Thanks

Hi oneltwots, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...

File system chaos; how to backup and restore one's home folder??

My young son managed to drag the desktop icon from the hard disk to the trash. I dragged the desktop out of the trash but the file system on the hard disk seems to be whacked: iphoto, itunes were unable to find their libraries (I solved this though), and other apps seem to suffer the same problem as well. I'm guessing my best option is to reformat the disc and reinstall OS 10.4.7 but I want to make sure that I get all documents, files, etc. from my home folder. Can I simply drag that folder to an external drive, perform the reformat/reinstall and then drag the home folder from the external drive back? What is the best way to proceed?

There are some article by Apple on Disk Utility, and you do not want to always use the Install Disk to repair your drive if the version is earlier. You'd be better off with fsck in single user mode.
You can repair permissions from any boot drive running Tiger, as it looks in the /Receipts regardless (unlike 10.2 which had a messed up method).
As for finding all the files to backup - I would use Disk Utility Restore, then backup the whole volume to a blank partition on your FW drive. And while at it, setup an emergency boot volume for OS X that you can use for repairs in the future.
And maybe create separate accounts, then backup those accounts, and limit what others can or cannot do.

Hi Cody
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
It should be very uncommon for Pages to crash. I've been using it for years on a daily basis and it's only happened to me once except when I was trying to replicate a bug for someone.
Your experience might be a symptom of an underlying problem with your system. I recommend that you back all your stuff up now.
Whilst trying to isolate the issue, I recommend that you manually create frequent backups of your documents using the Finder after a successful save until you can trust it.
Next, use disk utility to do a repair permissions on your hard drive.
Also, after quitting Pages, try trashing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWorks.Pages.plist file (back it up first if you want) and restarting Pages.
If this doesn't work, there are loads of troubleshooting tips here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html. I also recommend that you read the tips on system maintenance.
In case you didn't already know this, Pages files are actually packages. Control-click on the icon and select Show Package Contents to see what's inside. You may be able to recover some text from the files in there. I don't believe there are any repair utilities. Nor is the file format available.
I hope this helps you.

Filters Won't Work in CS3 - Get "file system I/O error" message

Using CS3 on Mac G5, OS 10.4, and some Photoshop filters (e.g. Liquify) won't open, getting the message: "A file system I/O error has occurred."
Some filters do open, but others fail.
Have tried reinstalling CS3, trashing preferences, unlocked permissions - no help.
Any suggestions?

Peter,
The very instant you create a new document or open an existing image file, Photoshop creates a Scratch Disk to use as virtual memory, regardless of how much RAM you have installed. This scratch disk is created on whichever drive you have designated as your PRIMARY disk drive. If it happens to be on your boot drive, i.e. the drive where your OS (Operating System) resides, it will be competing with the OS swap file for use of the one read head on that disk. Very bad for performance.
Ideally, it should be a dedicated, separate internal hard drive, Figure on at least 35 times or more the size of your largest file for scratch. I keep a dedicated 160GB internal drive as my primary scratch disk.
You should not be running a G5 with less than 4GB of installed RAM. 512 MB would be ludicrous, but even 1GB is pathetic little RAM.
I agree that your hard drive sounds like it's going south. Get two new, large hard drives, at least 250GB each.

Reloading iphoto library and streamlining iphoto file system.

I had a hard-disk failure recently, and lost a lot of photos: basically all the full size files. Only the thumbnails remained on the system disk, so when I had the new drive installed, the engineer made these the iphoto library.
Fortunately, I had most of my photos backed up on a separate harddrive (in the 'originals' folder). What is the best way of putting these into my iphoto library in place of the thumbnails already there? (ie, don't want to see both in iphoto).
I'd put the iPhoto library on the separate hard-disk, but unbeknownst to me, about a year ago, iPhoto began saving imports on the system drive again, so these were the pictures I lost.
On another point, since I installed iphoto 6, the location of photos has become confusing, with the whole photo library pre-iphoto 6 duplicated in a folders called 'Originals' and 'Data'. Neither of these maintain the original easily navigable and logical date hierarchy file structure, but have saved all photos in a folder marked 2007, by roll number. The date folders which remain only contain a 'data' folder containing .attr files. Not very practical.
In short the whole thing is a mess: for some photos the system has saved 5 copies in various places.
Is there anything that can be done to consolidate the iPhoto library and put it back on a date-based filing system?

raggabishp
To start at the end:
Is there anything that can be done ... put it back on a date-based filing system?
No, once you use iPhoto 6, that's the file system. But it's not that difficult to follow: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Finding the Picture file is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
So the structure is different, but - especially if you use the Film Rolls view - very straightforward.
There is no easy way to rid yourself of these 'thumbs become originals'. If the thumbs have the same filenames as the Originals, then you could overwrite the thumbs with the Originals, but you would need to do that on a file by file basis, I'm afraid.
Other than that, compare the full size pics with the thumbs and trash the duplicates is all I can suggest.

My Backup.dmg is not mounting: No mountable file systems

I had Mac OS X Leopard running with Boot Camp (Windows Vista). I needed extra space for my Mac OS so I deleted the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant. Then, I shut down the computer, but after I turned it on, there was the flashing question mark, which meant that the computer couldn't recognize the Macintosh operating system that was installed. Therefore, I put in the Mac OS Install Disk, and tried to repair the disk but it said invalid BS_jmpBoot in block 000000. Seeing this, I decided to reinstall Mac OS X, but backing up with Disk Utility: Create New Compressed .DMG Image before doing so. After a successful installation, I tried to mount the image, but it says No Mountable File System. I feel hopeless, because all of my precious data was backed up in that disk image. When I try to verify or repair that disk using Disk Utility, it says Unrecognized File System. Are all the files on that image corrupt and impossible to recover, or is it possible to recover those files (but of course, losing some files, since the image appears to be corrupt).

Again, if you cannot mount the image then there's no way to recover the files. If the image would mount then you could try repairing it with Disk Utility or try using recovery software to recover files from it. But if it doesn't mount then there's nothing you can do with it.
If you want to try you can see if recovery software can find files on it. See the following:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You can download trial versions of the software. The trials can be used to see if the software can recover anything, but then you must purchase the software to actually do any file recovery.

Firefox corrupts windows file system

Since upgrading to Firefox 32.0, my Acronis Backup stops with the error message
"Backup of file or folder c:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Firefox.Profile>\Cache" failed. File or folder does not exists."
The problem no longer occurs after running chkdsk which implies a file system corruption, but it re-occurs when opening and closing Firefox.
Note that I use hibernation (i.e. I open and close the browser, hibernate, wake up and then note the file system corruption)

Yes, I have checked that the folder is not explicitly specified. Also, after running chkdsk, the backup runs successfully, even if the folder does not exist.
I have run some more tests, and am now very confident that this is indeed a bug.
Reproduction:
1) Start & Close Firefox
2) Run Backup --> Error
3) Create an empty folder named "Cache"
4) Run Backup --> OK
5) Start & Close Firefox --> Folder "Cache" is renamed to "Cache.Trash<Number>"
6) Run Backup -> Error
repeat as desired
I have found a temporary fix: When I remove the delete permission on my manually created "Cache" folder, Firefox does create a "Cache.Trash<Number>" folder, but cannot delete the Cache folder. The backup will run in this case.

How do i restore emptied trash in system 10.4.11?

How do i restore emptied trash in system 10.4.11?

Only possible if you have stopped using your Mac so the file space doesn't get overwritten, and you use a date recovery company (expensive).

Corrupt DMG file - "No Mountable File Systems"

Hello, I have an important backup DMG file that I can't mount. When I try, I get this error..."No Mountable File Systems".
I have tried the following with no success...
- repairing the DMG in Disk Utility.
- converting the DMG in Disk Utility to a R/W image.
- Repair in Data Rescue 3
- Repair in Disk Warrior
- Repair in File Salvage (this actually recovered a single mp3 file, so this makes me think the data is still there)
- Repair in Stellar Phoenix
- Repair in Disk Drill
I have read on one of these forums (I can't seem to find it anymore) that someone had a similar issue and someone helped them through a lot of digging around in the broken file (something to do with headers?)...and in the end they managed to repair the broken DMG file. I would really like to repair this file, so just in case someone who knows how to fix this sort of thing, I've shared the file here...
files.me.com/jeffvandyck/x4qv9c
I have a few other files like this and would really like to recover those as well. I'm relatively technical, and once I understand what I'm looking for I can try to fix the others.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Jeff

Help - odd file system corruption.

I have something very worrying going on on my system. The contents of an important folder is being listed differently in 3rd party applications vs the Finder. Apps which use a non-OS file browser cannot see the up to date contents (its an important project I'm currently working on), instead they only list folders from months ago which are now long gone and don't show the current true contents at all. Eg Cinema 4D's Content Browser can't see the current files correctly, but it can just fine via the OS Open/Save dialog.
Even worse is that Chrono Sync has exactly the same problem. When it syncs it correctly lists some of the current files that I'm working on, but in the Anylise section, manually drilling down to my working project folder again shows the incorrect contents!
I have copied the directories to a new HD but even THEY show the same errors when not viewing the contents directly with Lion file browsers***
I can remember once when I first saw this in Cinema 4D I immediately checked in the Finder - and the Finder showed the wrong contents too !- I refreshed the Finder window by clicking a different folder and back to the working directory which then updated before my eyes to the correct contents.
How can I fix this? It seems like there is an immenent serious corruption about to happen to my files and/or disk. Disk Utility shows no errors, nothing to repair. Can/should I use Diskwarrior or some other repair app. Help!
(***I just remembered that I used CCC in block level copy mode so this might account for why the corruption has been transferred to the new drive. I am copying the working directory to the new disk using drag nd drop in the Finder to see if that helps. However I still need the underlying corruption in my User folder repaired)

Yes, I have quite a comprehensive backup strategy in place (involving a Drobo for nightly CCC backups, a CCC nightly bootable disk clone and TM for hourly backups). The Block Copy is for the bootable disk. The nightly Drobo backups are done with vanila CCC file copying,
Disk Util does not find any problems, neither did Disk Warrior. SMART is all OK.
However as I said, the problem is present on one of the backups as well which has put the integrity of the rest of my backups in doubt. also I have tried a direct Finder copy to a new drive (instead of CCC block copy) but the problem persisted.
I have however come up with a temporary fix: I moved the current folder to the trash, navigated to the parent directory using Cinema 4D's Content Browser wherein it 'saw' the ancient folder once again. This errant folder was now also visible in the Finder since the original folder (which has the same name) was now in the trash. I renamed it and moved it to the trash too. Then put the original folder from the trash back into its parent directory and emptied the trash removing the errent folder for good. It seems that did the trick of updating whatever caches or databases were broken and all my apps can correctly see the correct folder and its contents again.
This 'historical' version of the folder was being linked to by 3rd party file browsers I think because in the past it had the same name in the same location as the current folder. Where and how the OS got confused is still a mystery. Does it keep different file system records for the finder vs other apps?
I am not 100% convinced this is a true solution though as there may well be a deeper problem afoot.
I would like to see some kind of error/fixed message from Disk Util just so I know the OS is on top of this problem. As it stands my Mac thinks everythin is A-OK.

Recovering trashed file

Is there any way to recover trashed file? My operation system is OS X 10.3 Panther. Hardware is Dual 2 Ghz Power PC G5.

Thank you for your suggestion. Since it is a kind of file that I can rebuild it in about 6 hours and I used Mac too long since I lost the file so I will rebuild the file instead of trying to recover it.

How to trash a System folder

A few days ago I did a system backup in one of my internal hard drives but now I trashed the system and it's only used for storing files. The problem now is that everytime I boot my computer there's an empty System folder in that drive that seems imposible to trash Can you help me, please?. TIA

Hello again:
What does that folder look like? Does it have an "X" on it?
No, it only happens if the System is in the boot drive. Before I wrote that it was an empty folder in a storing file's drive
Did you erase and format the drive in question before you placed other data on >it?
No I didn't do it because there's more than 1TB of content and it was going to take so long in data transfering, but I'm sure if I do it and format the drive problems will solved.
I use a program called "Cocktail" for troubleshooting. It contains all sorts of >GUI routines that are helpful.
I've take a look but I'm not sure what routines are you talking about. Personally I haven't found it.
All in all, thanks again.

Troubles with GPT file system

Hello everybody,
i got a motherboard MSI 760GA-P43FX
and i experience the following issue:
i bought a SSD disk KINGSTON SSDNOW 120GB, trying to do a fresh windows 7 installation (64bit) on it.
Later, i need to install the TRUE CRYPT to encrypt that SSD harddrive,
unfortunately, the WIN7 formats the SSD disk with an EFI (GPT) file system again and again,
and the TRUE CRYPT does not support GPT file format only the older MBR.
I red plenty of stuff on this issue, some people who got lucky and bought other motherboard
can choose between EFI and old MBR (Legacy) when booting from the DVD drive.
Unfortunately, i could not find any option in my BIOS to disable the EFI
or on the boot-up to choose non-EFI booting from DVD.
(i red somewhere when i would be able to choose the older non-EFI booting from DVD when installing the WIN7,
the WIN7 will automaticaly format the SSD with a MBR which is what i need.)
Please dont tell me i need to buy another MB, the funny thing is, i bought the same motherboards,
installing the same system, all is the same, SSD, CPU, RAM, everything is the same,
but on my 2nd machine i am just not able to go through the EFI issue.
On my 1st machine i have installed everything properly, SSD works fine with the true crypt,
all is fine! I assume the version of BIOS could be different or i dont know.
Anyway, I wont use any HDD bigger then 2 TB so i dont need any EFI file system.
I am desperate, can anyone help?
thanks!

Hello t:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Do those applications open from the application folder? If they do:
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.dock.plist).
If that does not help, drag the icons that do not work off the dock (poof sound). Then go to the application folder and drag the appropriate icon to the dock.
