USB Drive is treated as an Alias without original and without owner !!!

After not being able to use a Formac analog to digital video converter I thought that installing in parallel Leopard only for that converter would finish th problems with Snow Leopard.
Wishful thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even worse happens now to me! An external Iomega USB drive appears under the disk utility with "NO OWNER" mention. When trying to open this hard drive (I see its icon in the desktop) a message saying that this "Alias cannot be opened since the original cannot be found" comes. It says I should either delete this "Alias" or apply it to the proper object. However when trying to apply it to the Iomega Drive this operation is impossible. The hard drive in the list of files appears pale pictured and cannot be clicked. I do not understand what Snow Leopard does but it makes a lot of a mess with hardware working perfectly previously under Leopard.
I do hope Apple brings soon a service pack!!!

After a little more research I found the solution to this issue.  For some strange reason, the "Alias" bit on the drive got turned on.  This is not visible under normal circumstances.  I downloaded a copy of Path Finder which gives more detail than the standard OS X Finder.  When I did a Get Info on the drive it showed the Alias Bit option.  I unchecked the box and problem resolved.

  • What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

    What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
    without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
    6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
    It has not worked since that day.  It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
    iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does.  itunes does not
    recognize the iPod.  My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device. 
    Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
    computer it did not recognize the iPod
    I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something.  The depression prohibited me from taking action.
    I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
    sources.  I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
    Apple employees etc etc.  I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
    number procedure using only button on the iPod.  These were unsuccessful
    also have performed.
    Please do not ask me to do the usual.
    Online I saw  a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
    reformat 
    the iPod.  It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
    etc.  I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
    I have lost contact with him.  This is the procedure, I believe, that with
    enable me to update and use the iPod. 

    You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

  • Data fetch from table without Refresh and without using tab key.

    hi Friends,
    I have a problem i want to extract data from table without Refresh into text field without using Tab key. when i'll enter any value in a text field then corressponding value should come in to corressponding textfield without using Tab Key.
    eg. when i enter emp_id 101 in a text field then the first_name and last_name ,adress should come in to corressponding text fields without refresh and without using Tab key.
    How Can I do this.
    Thanks
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    I assume that this is similar to: Data fetch without Refresh rather than Re: Value of one textfield should come into another textfield Without Using TAB ?
    If so, the only change you need to make on the first one is to use "onkeyup" instead of "onchange" in the item's "HTML Form Element Attributes" setting.
    Note, however, that the user must move away from the item at some point (for example, to click a button), so the onchange will be triggered anyway.

  • How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

    How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

    You create ringtones on your computer and sync them to your iphone.
    You can buy ringtones from the ringtones section (at the bottom of the screen when you open itunes) of the itunes app on your iphone.
    There may be apps that will do this - not sure.

  • Iphone without contract and without sim LOCK

    hi, can I buy the iphone without contract and without sim LOCK?? if then where, for information binn I sechr gratefully. greeting

    Actually, you don't HAVE to sign a two year contract with AT&T, you can use the GO Phone option and do a month-to-month payment.
    The drawback to that is that for your $50/month you get less than half as many minutes and no pre-paid SMS. You do, however, get unlimited internet turning your iPhone into a miniature laptop that you pay way too much to use each month... grin
    I'm on the GO Phone option until my stupid T-Mobile contract expires later this year...

  • How do I format an 8 gig Lexar USB drive so it is visible by both MAC and PC?

    I edit a weekly 60 min TV show and need to save the show file to the USB.
    The show file is over 4 gigs.
    after placing the show file on the USB I take it to the TV station where they are trying to open the USB and transfer the show file into a playback syatem which is on a PC platform. The PC is not recognizing the USB drive.

    >4 GB presents a problem because the default FAT format of the drive won't work with files that size.  You have to use Mac extended or Windows NTFS and then also buy third party software to enable the Mac to read NTFS or the PC to read Mac formatting.
    NTFS drivers for Mac - e.g., Paragon or Tuxera
    Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2  - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33122/tuxera-ntfs

  • Is the "Erase USB Drive" option supposed to erase stock WebOS wallpapers and ringtones also?

    I was just wondering if the Palm Pre "Erase USB Drive" option is supposed to erase the stock wallpapers and ringtones also? I recently tried this, thankfully after backing everything up from the Pre's USB drive, and it did erase every media file including the stock ringtones folder and wallpapers folder. Also, I'm guessing memos aren't text files since the memos still show after performing the erase? I tried searching for any posts stating information on what this option really does, but there were none.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    @solentice:
    Yes, the Erase USB Drive option does exactly that, it erases everything saved on the USB portion of the device, including wallpapers and ringtones, much like formating a memory stick or thumb drive.
    Memos are considered PIM data like contacts, calendar, and tasks and are saved to the Palm Profile. They are not deleted through Erase USB Drive. If you were to do an Erase Apps & Data or a Full Erase, when you sign back into your profile, they will re-download to your device. Text messages will not re-download as they are not saved to the Palm Profile. 
    Here's a helpful website to help determine what information is stored where:

    Please search the discussions before posting. Your question has been asked and answered many times. It could save you time in the future.
    Attach the drive to the PC and format it as FAT. Or use Disk Utility on the Mac and format it as "MS-DOS" which is in fact FAT.

  • Create delivery without reference and without movement

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement to create an outbound delivery without reference (the easy bit) but also without movement for normal "FERT" stock items.
    The reason for the requirement is we have a production planning plant set up and the receiving plant is s short distance from the manufacturing plant. The transport between locations involves public roads and the products being shipped can contain hazardous materials.
    The thought is to create a delivery without reference assign the materials and pack within the delivery, the problem is that as the movement has already taken place this delivery line item must not be relevant for movement.
    I have tried assigning text and non stock item categories without success so I am hoping someone out there can give me some pointers on possible solutions
    Many Thanks
    Brian

    In case I have understod u correctly then u need to create a OBD with material with stock but no goods movement shoudl happen
    can u create a new item category which is not relevant to picking and no sloc is requried and when u create the delivery then system will mark it as complete even w/o PGI.

  • Itunes deleting apps without request and without asking confirmation

    as soon I install itunes, I have a huge slow down of all XP. Installation takes a long time, it freezes XP very often. Once it s installed, it takes a long time to start (often more than 1 minute), often freezes XP. quicktime steals the default access for mp4 files, each time I try to use explorer on a folder with MP4 files, xp freezes for minutes, it never shows previews, takes a long time to start when it effectivly starts, reads a lot less than open readers like vlc or mpc. when I try to set another reader as default reader for MP4, quicktime keeps the hand on it, cannot get rid of freezes withoout deleting quicktime, witch make itunes unavailable
    LAST BONUS: after having reinstalled itunes to sync my contacts, it tried to sync the apps without beung asked (maybe because i dowloaded 2 apps on my computer) and STARTED TO DELETE ALL OTHER APPS WITHOUT ASKING CONFIRMATION DELETTING ALL MY DATAS
    TOO MUCH FOR ME
    BYE ITUNES

    No, they actually thought that people would use autosync and have one master library. They didn't think that people had 3 or 4 computers that they would spread their music/videos over. Why not combine all your files on one computer?
    As far as music/videos from your Aunt's computer, those aren't yours and the other reason for Apple doing what you want is they don't want people stealing music. Please don't steal music.
    One more thing, on your master computer that the iPod is linked to, set it to manually manage your music and you can use it between different computers. You will have to eject it manually every time you are through syncing/charging and want to remove it.

  • How to redirect to a page (without branching and without pl/sql)

    Hi,
    Have a requirement where when a user log into the application, the APP_USER must be checked against the list of users maintained in a database table, if APP_USER name exist in the table, the user must be redirected to the home page else user must be redirected to the Registration page.
    Tried the branching concept:
    Branch Point: On Load: Before Header
    Condition: NOT Exists (SQL Query returns no rows)
    Expression1 : select * from users_tab where name = v('APP_USER')
    When this condition is given, though the user name does not exist in the users_tab, the page is redirected to page 1 instead of the Registration page.
    Where is the problem here?
    How can it be resolved?
    Is there an alternative way to implement this?
