Update Service fails when saving to different hard drive

Under file -> preferences in Update Service 2.2.1 I changed my save directory to an E: drive.  The installers fail to run after downloading all the updates.  Works fine when I switch it back to C:, but since it is a SSD space is often limited and I'd like for this functionality to work.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jordan,
I think a bit more information can help us get to the bottom of the problem:
At what point does the failure occur? For example, can you select updates, do they download, and does the installer start running?
yes.  the installer runs, but gives an error saying it cannot find the files and prompts if to continue with the next installer
If the installer does get built, can you change the preference to 'Save Only' and run the installer manually? Does it work then?
once started it won't let me do anything but resume the session or start a new one
Can you try running Update Service with logging and share the logfile with me? From the command line, run NIUpdateService.exe (usually located at Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Update Service) -log pathtologfile.txt.
I have since switched back to the C:\ drive and installed my updates, but here's your log file anyway.
Does that drive have execute permissions?
yes
Do you have UAC enabled/disabled?
disabled

  • Updates to iTunes when synced to external hard drive

    I have a 60GB iPod with color screen (and can watch TV, videos, etc) and clickwheel. I have a very old computer and have to keep my music on my external hard drive. I was able to get the version of iTunes that I had, plus all my music, on the drive, and used the Preferences under edit to tell it to use the correct folder on the correct drive.
    But I have two problems:
    1. When I download updates or new versions of iTunes, they get installed in the old location. If I move that to the external hard drive, I have to manually move all my music to the new library, and my playlists are gone. How to get the updates to work right?
    2. Podcasts show up in iTunes, but when I sync, they aren't under Podcasts on the iPod--they may be in Recently added, or under the title, but not in the separate Podcasts section of iPod.

    cgb33,
    You can use the Add Folder to Library option as explained in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    Note that while this will add the songs themselves to iTunes, playlist and related information will not be included.

  • Large files fail when copying to external hard drive

    Hi, I am trying to copy 2 extremely large dmg files (both 4-7 GB each) from my macbook to an external hard drive. When the file is almost done I get an error message saying it couldnt do it. I have heard about this happening to other people because their external harddrives were not formatted correctly or something. Is there some precedural way of doing this, if so what are the steps. Thanks.

    In addition to the other suggestions, you may want to try connecting the drive directly to the MacBook. While this is probably sensitive to the exact combination of hardware, I'm finding that I have problems if I connect my drive to either my first-gen aluminum Apple Cinema Display or an external USB 2.0 hub, but no problems whatsoever if I connect it directly to one of the MacBook's two USB ports.
    The exact error message you get would also be helpful.

  • Wireless fails when restarted with external hard drive

    I was attempting to configure my external hard drive to work with Back To My Mac (via this article).  I was able to pair my Airport Extreme easily, once it restarted, the only way to connect was through ethernet.  I was receiving 169.x.x.x addresses on all of my devices.
    I attempted a hard reset, with the external media plugged in...same problem.  In fact, it wouldn't even allow me to configure it.
    My last airport gave up after a couple of years, so I went and bought the tall AirPort Extreme...same problem exactly.
    Once I pin pointed it was the hard drive causing this, I was able to get the network back up and running.  However, I'd still like to be able to use my hard drive when Back to My Mac is enabled and the hard drive is plugged in (what if I lost power while I was gone?).
    Oddly enough, I discovered it's no problem if I plug the media in after it restarts (once it's booted up), it will show up on the network and everything.  It's a 3TB HFS+ formatted drive, normally use it to do Time Machine and to dump random huge files that I don't need everyday.  So nothing that should be making it cause a problem.
    Any ideas or a potential patch in the future?

    I'm experiencing this issue too. Power cycling the TC does fix the problem, but the problem eventually returns after a while. Has happened three times now over the past few days. Seems like a bug to me.

  • Updating LR5 Catalog to use different hard drive

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • I am using FCPX 10.1.3. and want to duplicate my project, and its complete resources, to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive.  How do duplicate to a different hard drive

    I am using FCPX 10.1.3. with Yosemite, and want to duplicate my project and its complete resources to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive, unlike the previous FCPX that gave you options. How do duplicate to a different hard drive?

    Since projects are now stored in events and events are stored in libraries, you need to create a new l;bray on that different drive or open an existing library on that drive. Then duplicate your project and move it to the new library. It will copy the media. Then use the Consolidate Project File command to round up any external assets; there may or may not be any.

  • Wcf Data Service fails when more than 8properties  in the 'select=' portion

    Hi:

    EF Provider is ODAC11.2 Release 4
    Wcf Data Service fails when more than 8 properties are specified in the 'select=' portion of the URI
    here is my code
    var q = from c in this.ctx.SALESORDER_ITEM
    select new
    c.SORDERDETAILID,

    The inner exception is null, but the DataServiceClientException states: Value cannot be null Parameter name: value
    the exception is thrown in base.OnStartProcessingRequest(args) method (overridden).

    Is there a max number of properties in $select statement
    I think may be it is oracle provider's problem ,but i don't konw how to debug it Can anyone help me
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I believe the null/empty string issue is unrelated to the 8 column issue, at least for ODP.NET. For example, let's take the original query in the OBE:
    http://.../yoursvcfile.svc/EMPLOYEES?$select=EMPLOYEE_ID,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,SALARY,DEPARTMENT_ID,DEPARTMENT,EMAIL,PHONE_NUMBER,MANAGER_ID
    Let's make all the columns selected not nullable. You can do this with the Oracle Dev Tools. Specifically, PHONE_NUMBER and FIRST_NAME are the only nullable fields. I make them non-nullable and re-run the query and the same error occurs. Thus, these values should never be made null. Moreover, in all 107 rows, none of these row values consist of empty strings anyway.
    Looking into the problem further, WCF DS is calling methods in the System.Data.Services.Internal namespace.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.services.internal.aspx
    Specifically, we see your issue when the ProjectedWrapperMany method is called. You will notice that there is ProjectedWrapper0, ProjectedWrapper1...ProjectedWrapper8 methods also present in the same namespace. As soon as the number of columns exceeds 8, ProjectedWrapperMany is called and we see the error. We're going to ask MS to help analyze the issue since this is an .NET-internal method being called.

  • I get the following error when formatting a external hard drive. Partition failed with the error:  POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory

    I get the following error when formatting a external hard drive.
    Partition failed with the error: 
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
    I have a Macbook pro 13" A1278. I purchased it around december 2010. I have a HHD 3.5" drive desktop select II 1.5TB. I purchased it around Febuary/March 2011 to use with my Macbook pro. I formatted it and moved all my files to there, I got it so my macbook's hard drive wouldn't brake and I lose everything on my macbook.
    Is there any fixes?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?

    Hi!  Is it possible to move the iBooks library from its default location on the boot drive (where the iBooks-application also resides) to a different hard drive?
    Currently all my ebooks and PDF’s are kept in the default „Books“-folder in the home-library on the SSD-boot-drive of my Mac where the iBooks application is also kept by default (path:  Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBo oks/Books). Space is getting narrow on my SSD-boot-drive so that I would like to free up approximately 20 GB by moving the entire iBooks library to a second internal HDD-drive of my Mac or to an external USB-drive.
    I have not been able to find any instructions on the internet on how to move the iBooks library nor have I been successful in any of my experiments to move the „Books“-folder. What I have tried is the following:
    1. I moved the original PDF-files away out of the „Books“-folder to a different drive and placed aliases from these files in the „Books“-folder. The result is that the iBooks-application will simply re-create a full size copy of the original PDF file in the „Books“-folder. I.e. no saving of disk space!
    2. I copied the „Books“-folder from its default location in the user library on my internal SSD-boot-drive to a second internal HDD-drive, erased the „Books“-folder at the original location and instead placed a hard link at the original location. I verified that the hard link is working and pointing to the right location on the second drive. The result is that the iBooks-application will not recognize/show any of the PDF-files at the new location. Trying to re-import the missing PDF-files into iBooks results in the message „This book is already in your library. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re adding?“. By clicking on „Yes“ the same message returns infinitely often. I.e. no successes!
    3. I repeated the same procedure as described above under 2. using the „iBooks“-folder which encloses the „Books“-folder (along with three other folders) with the same results as before. I.e. no successes!
    (path:  Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks)
    Does anyone know how to successfully move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?
    Does anyone have links to internet discussions about this problem?
    Regards BJB

    I was in on the Mavericks beta, when iBooks was introduced. You can not believe me if you want but it isn't currently possible to store the iBooks library on external storage at this time. The ebooks must be on the path ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books for iBooks to function properly. Any other method you may find to accomplish what you want will be unapproved and could break at any time.
    You may submit your polite feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html

  • How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

    How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in  the Library module?

    The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
    If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
    Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
    So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
    Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new  storage location for each image concerned.

  • How to move mail settings to a different hard drive

    My OS 10.4.11 startup hard drive was corrupted by the most recent automatic software update (either iTunes or a security update.) I figured out how to boot up from a different hard drive that had OS 10.4.8 on it. But when I access Mail, it has settings for my old ISP. Is there a file or files I can copy from my original startup drive to my current one that will transfer over my ISP access settings, username, stored password, etc? I had a dickens of a time getting the original setting right and don't want to repeat the process. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi David, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    The Files/Folder you need are...
    First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, by right clicking on it in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place... only the plist is separate.
    Move this whole folder...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
    And this file...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

  • Moving manually managed music folder (wow) to a different hard drive

    The music in my iTunes library is manually managed and externally referenced - that is, not kept in the iTunes Music folder (I unselected the option to "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library").
    But now I'd like to move my music to a different hard drive (previously the iTunes library was on the int HDD and the music folder was on an ext HDD, now I want both to be on the int HDD).
    It seems to me that iTunes won't be able to find the files after I move them. Does anyone know a way to do this without having to recreate the iTunes library from scratch (too much music for that to be practical). Thanks!

    You could move your top-level music folders to the external drive & then create symbolic links to redirect file-system requests to the new locations. This works fine for existing media but iTunes won't redirect files it is saving for some reason, e.g. Podcasts, TV Shows etc. would end up with the library files rather than being redirected. I've used such schemes for the last year or so as my library was getting to large to hold on the local disk. I gradually moved sections out to the external drive and placed the links as needed. While this has worked I recently bit the bullet & restructured my library so that it is now fully portable. Putting everything on the external drive, within the iTunes music folder, means that I can connect my drive to another machine & whatever drive letter gets assigned I can still work with the library. I still manaually manage the folders so that I can have full length file & folder names for example.
