Trying to make an image of a Server but getting error message

I'm trying to make a disk image (.dmg) of an XServe. I boot the XServe off of an external drive, fire up disk utility and choose File>New>Disk Image from <server volume>
Then I choose where I want the .dmg file to be created. It doesn't matter where I try to put it (one of the additional two unused hard drives in Bay 2 or Bay 3, or on a network volume), I get an error message: "Unable to create <server volume> (Resource Busy)."
What am I doing wrong? Or what do I not understand yet?
Thanks.

Hi.
Tried another tactic. I booted up the XServe into Target Disk Mode on a MacBook Pro. Then fired up Disk Utility again and chose File>New>Disk Image from "server volume". It started, but erred out with the "Resource Busy" message. Then I tried the same thing but this time instead of "server volume", I chose File>New>Disk Image from "698.6 GB AAPL FireWire Target Media". It still erred out with the "Resource Busy" message. Then I tried File>New>Disk Image from Folder, and then chose "server volume", and then selected where to save the .dmg and it started to create the image, but erred out with "Unable to create "server volume" (No such file or directory)." Then I tried "Disk Image from Folder" again, but this time chose "698.6 GB AAPL FireWire Target Media", selected where to save the .dmg, and once again, it started to create the image, but erred out again with "Unable to create "server volume" . I'm at a loss. I am unable to create an image of the XServe HD and I need to. Does anyone out there have any ideas? Thanks.

  • Trying to update frpm itunes 10 to itunes11, but get error message after installation

    I am trying to update my itunes to be compatible with my replaced iphone 4s (apllecare replacement) that is not compatible with my current iTunes 10.6.  I have tried several times to upload th enew version of iTunes to no avial getting an error message after a "successful installation" and the itunes reverts to 10.6.  Since my imac was an older unit I had to update to OSX 10.6.8 (sucessfully) and increase my RAM.  I am 120bucks in the hole plus the 49 dolar surcharge for the iphone replacement and i am still no closer to restoring my phone.  Help please

    First backup your music and content.
    Then delete iTunes 10.6 Drag the application from Finder > Applications to Trash. Empty Trash
    Try and install 10.7 first iPhone 4s will work with this. You can find the download here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
    Install it. Does itunes 10.7 now appear? Is your content all there? Connect up your iPhone and start syncing.
    From there if you want to you can upgrade to iTunes 11 but it is only necassary if you have an iPhone 5

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

  • Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Hi
    Error -2125
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)

    If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
    Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

    Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
    You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.
