Unable to export to hard drive

Hi,
Having real problems with Aperture. Firstly, it crashes on me at least 4 or 5 times when I am using it. Secondly, having finally having editted my photos, I now find that I can't export them! My masters are on an external hard drive and I want to export the editted jpgs back to the hard drive. I am trying to export 97 photos but all that happens is that aperture says it is exporting for hours and then I am told I have run out of start up disk space. I have 477Gb free on the macbook and 743gb on my external hard drive. Any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks

Dealing firstly with the crashes I would do the usual, repair disk permissions and repair the aperture database. Hoping this takes care of the crashes.
Moving on to the export side of things, what format are you exporting them in? tiff, Jpeg, etc. etc.?
Have you altered any of the export settings to do a ridiculous amount of dpi on the preset?
I have all my aperture databases on an external drive and then export the images to my desktop and then move them to where I need to. I have never actually tried exporting them to the same disk as to where the images are stored, however I could not see that being an issue.

Error when exporting to hard-drive

Lightroom 4 was working fine before I tried to export to Flickr. The export was NOT successful, and after that, I encountered an error when exporting to hard drive. Although this error appears, the export to hard drive is always successuful. It is annoying to continuously receive this error message. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

That is the small trouble with screenshots: as unambiguous and helpful as they are they are hard to search for their content.
But it looks identical to several other posts here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4341436#4341436, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4318154#4318154, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4285253#4285253, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4261252#4261252, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4177871#4177871):
In your export manager select "Do nothing" i.o. leaving it blank. down at the bottom where it asks for what to do in Post Processing After Export.
This should have the message go away.
For the sake of searchability I spell out the error message, so that others could find this being answered:
Unable to Export:

Snow Leopard crashed : unable to find the hard drive in Disk utility

Hello,
A few days ago, my computer (running on Snow Leopard 10.6.3) suddently crashed (no recent update, no new software or hardware installation).
Since then, i'm unable to start the computer. It freezes on the start screen with the apple and the loading bar. Sometimes i've got an empty folder with a question mark.
I tried to start with the install CD, and when i select Disk utility, it only recognizes the DVD, not the hard drive (then i cannot even try to repair it).
When i want to re-install Snow Leopard, i arrive on an empty screen on which i'm asked to choose a drive to install on. Of course as i cannot choose a drive, i cannot install.
Finally, when i try to start with no errors (pressing Maj button when starting), i've got a kernel panic error saying "unable to find driver for this platform ACPI"
Can anyone help me ?
thanks in advance.

Your hard drive has had a serious malfunction. It might be that it is software: your partition table may be corrupt. If so, this may be fixable if you take it to a local Apple certified tech. However, it is more likely that it is hardware and the drive itself has failed. I hope you have a backup. If you do, you will need to replace the drive and restore the backup to the new drive. If you don't and you have important data on that drive (and if you have important data, why don't you have a backup?) you will need to contact one of the data recovery services, such as Drive Savers or Rescuecom. Be advised that the price for data recovery starts at $200 and heads upwards really quickly, depending on what the exact problem with the drive is. I have seen data recovery charges of $3000 and more for seriously screwed up drives.
Having a backup is a lot easier and a lot cheaper.

Bridge cs6 export - only hard drive option is present. I want ftp and social network module

I want to export my images right from the bridge. Uploading them to different social sites and ftps is a bit of a hassle and it is easy to forget something in the process. It would be so much better if I could just drag files to desired locations/presets.
I've seen something like that in the blogs (but with lower version of CS) where people have facebook and other options. But I can see only hard drive module.
Is it possible? If so - why don't I have this option? What can I do?

If you don’t see the four modules, click the flyout menu and choose “Manage Modules.”
Make sure all four are checked. If you don’t see the four listed, click the little gear, and from ITS flyout menu, choose “Check for Updates.” When you’re through, click the small “Done” button at the bottom to return to the Export Panel main window.
You can start using the export modules directly, but every time you use them you’ll have to go through a long export process. Use presets to streamline this operation, by saving all the work for re-use. You can create multiple presets; for example, you might have several presets for Facebook depending on whether you want to send the images to your wall, or a specific album. We’ll step through the Facebook setup first.
In the Export Panel, highlight “Facebook” and click on the “+” icon at the bottom to Add a new Preset.
The “Add Preset” dialog appears, and the first thing you will need to do is authenticate with Facebook. Note that you will need to authenticate every time you create a new preset, even with the same service, but you won’t need to authenticate when you actually export your images. Click on “Sign In.”
Two things happen: Your browser will be launched, and you’ll see the authentication page from Facebook. You’ll need to enter your credentials, and you can check “Keep me logged in to Adobe Bridge Export Panel.”
Etc. etc.
You can follow the rest of the instructions here:

Lightroom 3 won't export to hard drives

Lightroom 3 stopped being able to export images to any hard drive. Only Desktop and C:\Users\ are offered as export options. I can import from any hard drive but can not export to any of them. Installed version 3.4 RC but problem still exists. Windows 7 32 bit system.

Click on the small triangle to the right of "Desktop". A drop-down menu will appear. Select "Specific Folder". You should then be able to navigate to wherever you want your exported photos to be.

PS: When you choose "Specific Folder" a new button called "Choose" will appear just below the triangle. Use it to navigate.

Slideshow export eats hard drive!!!

I am working on my Macbook and I have about 15gb of free hard drive space. As I export my 8 minute slide show to a movie, Iphoto consumes tons of hard drive space, eating up the entire free space and causing the computer to crash. How can a slide show export consume such a massive amount of space? Is there some way to prevent this? Is there some setting that's wrong? I find it hard to believe that this could be normal behavior.

Bit of an update on this. The export used up about 10gb. The resulting file is only about 200mb. After the export, I quit Iphoto and the space on the drive returned! Hurray for that. What I did previously was not quit Iphoto and then open Imovie to import the slideshow. Doing that ate the rest of the memory and caused the crash.
Clearly there is something about exporting a slideshow which results in extraordinary hard drive space being eaten temporarily. I didn't notice this happening before.
Grand Perspective looks daunting. Not sure if it will help me, because I know what's happening, I just don't know why or how to stop it.

Unable to erase external hard drive with Disk Utility

Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running 10.9
Hello
Recently, my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1 TB external hard drive has not been showing up on my desktop or in finder. The light is on when connected, and in the Disk Utility it appears.
1. It was naturally created with a partition on it (all of the 1TB allocated to it) and it appears in the Disk Utility as well; however, it is grayed out.
2. I clicked the actual drive in DU and it was verified as being ok. I clicked on the partition next to verify and it said "Error disk needs repaired"
3. So I clicked repair, "Disk Utility cannot repair the disk..restore as many as your backed-up files...etc."
4. No problem (the data on the hard drive is used for my Time Machine back ups and my current internal hard drive is working fine with all the data intact)
5. Ok, so I click the erase tab on the entire external hard drive...erase..."Disk cannot be unmounted"
6. Ok, I try to erase the invidual partition..."Could not open disk"
It seems every time I try to erase this drive completely im hitting blocks. I even tried this method from the OS X Recovery menu (Command+R on startup). I would greatly appreciate any help to just get this whole thing external hard drive erased and start anew. How else would I go about this?
(pictures for reference)
Thank you all

If this is your only backup device, you need to start a new backup on another drive immediately. Don't erase (or try to erase) your only backup.
After you have the other backup, boot into Recovery and try again to erase the volume. You will have to unlock it before you can do anything with it, because it's encrypted.
If you still can't erase it, the drive has failed.

Unable to Unlock External Hard Drive w/ Correct Password

Specs
Retina MacBook Pro
Mac OS 10.9.4
Encrypted External Hard Drive with Time Machine application
Issue
I’m not able to unlock my ext. hard drive with the password stored in Keychain Access or by manually entering the password. When I plug my ext. hard drive on another computer the password works just fine.
I also noticed that when unlocking the ext. hard drive with an incorrect password the window will shake. When I unlock using the correct password it'll stall for about 10 seconds before it shakes. I’m not sure if that’s an indication of anything.
I formatted the ext. hard drive and encrypted it again. It works fine for a little bit before the same issue crops up again and the same password no longer unlocks the external hard drive. Again, it’ll unlock just fine on another computer.
Steps I've done so far in attempt to resolve the issue:
Keychain First Aid
Reset My Default Keychain
Repaired Disk Permission
Unlocking via Disk Utility
Formatting the external hard drive
Help!
I’ve come to the conclusion that it must be related to Keychain Access, the OS, or something else on my computer that’s preventing me from unlocking it. Does anyone have any clue why this is happening and what I can do to repair the issue?

Hi Kevin,
Its "Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)" and its partitioned

Unable to format external hard drive

so I'm trying to replace the hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I bought a 2.5 inch hard drive and a caddy to transfer the data with.
according to the internet, I had to "erase" it, first. which is fine. but every time I try to erase it, it says "file system formatter failed", and the disk isn't recognised by OSX (although it does appear in Disk Utility).
what can I do?

When you look at it in DU, select the device (starts with the size in GB or TB, then some alphanumeric jibberish, left justified in the column). Choose Partition, and partition Mac OS Extended (journaled) and GUID partition table (may need to select that under Options... I forget). Name your partition (I'll assume you just want one), then press Apply. When DU has finished partitioning, another entry should appear indented a little below the device - with the name you gave your partition. You should be able to select this partition and then use Erase to erase the partition. Report back if this doesn't work.

Unable to boot external hard drive

I have a PowerBook G4 17" 1.67 ghz and I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.5 on it using an external Iomega hard drive (there currently is no Superdrive in the PowerBook - I have one coming). The PowerBook recognizes the external HD and the "gear" runs for a bit and then the machine restarts. This happens each time it attempts to run off the external HD: recognizes the external HD, Apple symbol and "gear", then restart.
Any suggestions on how to overcome this issue? Many thanks.

The PB restarts, but does not go to the internal HD as it is just formatted - there is no OS on it.
It came from a DVD and I copied the image locally to my iMac using Disk Utilities and then put it on the external HD using the Restore feature in Disk Utilities. I have also tried it using SuperDuper, as that has a visible check point to me that shows that the drive is bootable and I had gotten an error on Disk Utilities at the end about allocation of memory, which I understand is common. I cannot recall for sure the exact sequence, but that is the general approach. It was trial and error for a bit.
The external HD is recognized at start up when connected (via Firewire). However, I have also tried to initiate the install sequence via Options. It is recognized, select it and it exhibits the behavior referenced above.
I have another PB (15" 1.67 ghz) and have attempted to see what happens there and I get the exact same behavior. I suspect it is an issue the the external HD.

Unable to boot from hard drive or install dvd

Out of the the blue my powerbook won't boot up. I've tried to reset the PRAM, I've tried to verbose thing but all it said was that it couldn't establish a connection to the windowserver. I've even tried to power on holding the option key but the hard drive and install dvd both have x's on them. What can I do to get this thing working again?

Have you tried rebooting in safe mode? Failing that, have you tried rebooting from the install disc so you can run Disk Repair? For either of these tests, insert your system disc and follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Good luck!

Unable to access USB hard drive connected to EA3500 router

WD essential 2GB hard drive connects OK through cisco connect but when I click on the shortcut or try to access the drive I get access denied duer to permission to the ip address

tried with firwall off and tried manually mapping but in both cases no luck. The drive appears in the GUI and I can create new folders on the drive. So it seems the rout recognizes the device but the PC does not want to recognize the drive. Seems something like the security or login access on the PC (XP). Tried creating new login id exactly the same on PC as the router with same password but the PC does not recognize the access.

Unable to format/partition hard drive

So I've recently decided my previous three partitions, including a partition with windows on, are not needed so backed up the files and am trying to simply format the whole hard disk. It lets me format two of the old partitions, but not the one with windows OS on it (erase is greyed out).
In terminal I tried
diskutil reformat /dev/disk2
but get
disk2 does not appear to have a valid file system format
Usage: diskutil reformat MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Completely erase an existing volume with the same name and format as the
original. Ownership of the affected disk is required.
You cannot erase the boot volume, nor can you reformat any device which
does not have a valid file system (instead use diskutil eraseVolume).
The partition table is master boot record for the HDD. That's about as far as I can get. Anyone?

Hi there LazyGenious,
At this point you may need to boot into the Recovery HD to repartition and reformat your HDD, then reinstall OS X.
To boot in the the Recovery HD, choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys. Once booted, you should be able to launch Disk Utility. At this point you will want to repartition the HDD using the steps outlined in the User Guide below. If you are going to be reinstalling OS X, make sure to select the GUID Partition Table option.
Partition a disk - Disk Utility Help
Partition a disk
Select the disk in the sidebar, then click Partition.
If you’re partitioning an external disk, make sure it’s connected to your computer.
Click the Partition Layout pop-up menu, then choose the number of partitions.
You can enter a size for each partition or drag the divider between the partitions to change their sizes. If a partition’s name has an asterisk beside it, it’s being shown larger than its actual size so the name can be displayed clearly.
Click each partition, then enter a name for it.
For each partition, click the Format pop-up menu, choose a format, then enter a size.
Mac OS Extended (Journaled): Uses journaling to protect the hierarchical file system integrity.
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled): Uses journaling and is case sensitive to folder names. For example, folders named “Homework” and “hoMeWOrk” are two different folders.
MS-DOS (FAT): Use for Windows disks that are 32 GB or less.
ExFAT: Use for Windows disks that are over 32 GB.
Free Space: Use to extend the free space for the disk.
Click Options, then choose one of the following:
GUID Partition Table: Choose this partition scheme if you’ll be using this disk only with Mac computers.
Apple Partition Map: This partition scheme should only be used if you’re working with Mac computers using Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier.
Master Boot Record: Also known as “fdisk,” choose this partition scheme if you’ll be using the disk as a secondary disk for the Windows operating system you installed using Boot Camp, or for an external disk you’ll be using on a Windows computer.
Click Apply.
Once this is process is complete, quit Disk Utility and reinstall OS X using the steps outlined in the article below, starting from step 2.
