«Unable to read Drive...»

Hi, I'm having a weird recurring problem - I have an external FireWire400 LaCie D2 drive that's been working fine for 2 years but now, about once a week, I get an error message upon startup that says «Unable to read Drive...»
I have to repair permissions using Disk Utility and it will work fine ... for a week, and then it happens again.
I can't link the bug to any system upgrade, so does this mean my drive is showing its age, about to die on me or is just in need of a reformat?
Being an external drive, I can't confirm via the SMART Status in Disk Utility ...
Thanks for your input ...
G5 DC 2.3Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.4) G4 733Mhz

But trying to see down the road, if the problem reoccurs, I guess it means there is something physically wrong with the drive, right?
You got that right. Take a look at my Firewire conundrum FAQ below. You may not need to erase at all. Resetting the Firewire bus may help.

Satellite M40X-184's DVD/CD-RW drive unable to read CDs

I have a three month old Satellite M40X-184 with Mat****a UJDA760 DVD/CD-RW drive. Last few days the optical drive is unable to read any type of CDs. But it can read DVDs. Can somebody please tell me what's wrong with it? Is the drive broken? Is it necessary to replace the DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thanks.

Hi
It is not easy to say if the drive is defective but you should anyway contact your local dealer. The warranty is valid and if there is some technical problem the drive will be replaced.
I dont know if this can help but you can try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the unit. The drive will be recognized and installed properly. If there is the problem with original music CDs you should really contact the local dealer.
Before the unit will be checked I believe that the best way to check it properly is to preinstall the unit with recovery media. The same thing will be done by technicians before hardware replacement. If you want you can do it too.

Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension...

I had previously installed the HP Color LaserJet 3600 driver from the install CD under Tiger. I recently did an archive and install of Leopard, then ran all the system updates. (Currently at 10.5.5)
When I insert the 3600 CD, though, I get a bunch of jibberish (parts of images, etc.) and a MAC OS X directory. The installer inside that directory attempts to be opened with Script Editor, though, and gives an error: "Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable." followed by "The document 'HP Color LaserJet v5.6.1.069' could not be opened."
Previously this would launch the HP installation program that would install the driver. Now, it's like it's not a recognized program or something. I downloaded the driver from the HP website to try it that way (clj3600MacOSX.dmg) with the same result. The .dmg file opens a disk image with the "HP Color LaserJet v.5.6.1.069" file in it...same result. Cannot open.
I know this program ran fine under Tiger...and a co-worker got it to run after doing an upgrade to Leopard (instead of archive and install.)
When I downloaded the HP 4300 installer dmg, it launches a .mpkg file and Get Info says it's set to open with "Installer (default)". The 3600 file, though is set to open with "Script Editor (default)". I've looked to set it to Installer, but don't know where it is...it's not in Applications or Utilities folder.
I then right clicked on the installer file and selected "Show Package Contents". In the window that was displayed, there was a Contents folder. Inside that folder was a file called "HP Color LaserJet v5.6" with no file extension (Get Info doesn't show an extension either,) but it has a VISE logo. Opening that file launches the VISE installer and performs the setup.
So, by jumping through hoops and getting lucky, I was able to install the driver.
The bigger issue, though, is why the installation CD and/or .dmg file downloaded from HP's website cannot run the installer as usual...why are they set to open with Script Editor as the default application...and how can I fix it so that other disks won't have the same problem?
[I originally posted this in the Printers forum, but it appears it's not a printing problem...it's an OS problem...]

Installer.app is in /System/Library/CoreServices/

My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

Someone please help!!!!

I know this isn't what you really want to hear but I'd recommend taking it in to an authorized repair location or your local Apple Store to get the Superdrive repaired or replaced so you can do an install? I don't believe you will be able load from your Dad's Window's machine. However you might be able to from an external DVD drive.
Also I might recommend getting a UPS so if you have similar issues you will have enough power to do a proper shutdown.

"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

Hello everyone!
We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.

You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

Unable to read payload from the message object in XI

Hello Guys,
Please help me about my problem in XI version 7.0.im quite new here.

Hi
Check with the connection string & Authorization of user you have used.
MSSQL string is
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://dbhost:1433;databaseName=example;SelectMethod=Cursor
While doing JDBC its good to refer Note 831162 lot of problems can be resolved.
Thanks

Cdparanoia 004: Unable to read table of contents header

Hi. I've been trying to rip wavs with grip but it was unable to locate any audio cd even though I could explore it from my desktop (xfce 4.10) and I am part of the optical group. Because of this, I tried running cdparanoia from the terminal.
Running the next command: cdparanoia -vsQ displays the next warning:

Unable to open disc. Is there an audio CD in the drive?
if I try to listen a track from an external application like mplayer it won't play any audio but if I manually locate the audio and choose them an application to play, they will. Also, the hardware itself is functional since I ripped music from a debian squeeze (dvd) installation.
Finally If it's useful, I used gvfs and exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4 in my .xinitrc to mount usb and other devices automatically

You removed all mailboxes (.mbox files) located within this problem account named folder at Home > Library > Mail and the same occurs when re-launching Mail?
The TableofContents file is a package file for a .mbox so it is hidden.
I'm not sure how you removed all mailboxes for this account but quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account). Move the account named folder to the Desktop.
Launch Mail and if it launches successfully without locking up and quitting, a new account named folder will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
All email clients have limits and the recommended size limit for a Jaguar or Panther mailbox is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB.
An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size (which means the mailbox has some corruption and/or is over the recommended size limit) but is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a Jaguar or Panther mailbox approaches or exceeds 1GB in size.
Since an account's Inbox mailbox is usually the most active mailbox, it is not a good idea to use an account's Inbox mailbox as the final storage location for all received messages not deleted.

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

Unable to read GPIB from Agilent 8757D

I'm unable to read from an Agilent 8757D. I can write commands to the device but get the response timed out errors when attemping to read or the device displays HPIB ERROR and locks up. I have tried all the known applications in LabView to try to establish comms. The device doesn't recognize the *IDN? command sent in VISA while running the Measurement and Automation Explorer. Any help here would be appreciated. PS IR not a programmer so please KISS your answers thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, MAX does not use VISA when attempting to locate an instrument on the bus. It uses the low level GPIB functions. You can use this as well in MAX and send the OI command. This is what the instrument uses instead of *IDN?
Second, make sure you are sending the correct termination character. In MAX, append the above command with a \n. This is a line feed and it is what the manual says you should use.
I know it is possible to use LabVIEW with this instrument because I wrote a driver for it back with LabVIEW 4. I no longer have that code, however.
