when i remove information from an external device that is plugged into my mac it still shows that the space is being used. how do i rectify this?
for example i have a 1GB usb that is full, i delete all, it still says that the device is full.

  • Problems reading USB memory sticks with OS 10.9

    Cannot read USB memory sticks with current version of OS 10.9.1 that I previously read without any problem.  What gives?  Any way to fix this problem?  I have lots of work and other material saved on the memory sticks that I need access to this quarter.

    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • USB memory drive won't mount

    I tried to mount a USB memory drive on my relatively new MBA (10.6.4) today, but it doesn't mount. Sometimes it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. When it does, only the disk shows up, the disk's name doesn't show up, it is grayed out. I did disk repair and verify and they are OK. It is USB 2.0. I have tried both USB slots.
    I have tried the same USB memory drive on an older MacBook Air (Rev C, about 15 months old) and on a Powerbook and the USB memory drive mounts fine. I can open the drive and see the contents and manipulate the files etc.)
    The USB drive is formatted "extended OS Journal".
    I also tested out another USB memory drive and it too fails to mount properly as well on the new MBA.
    I don't know whether it's a hardware issue or a Mac OSX issue so I posted here first.
    The older MBA has 10.6.4 too.
    Earlier this morning, the USB memory drives did mount on the new MBA but it was touch and go. Sometimes they did mount and I could manipulate files, but other times they didn't mount.
    Now, this evening, they won't mount at all.

    I checked Verify permissions and I repaired permissions after I tested out the USB drives. Seems like there were many permissions to be repaired even though I had just repaired them before.
    I think sticking in the USB flash memory drives mucks up the permissions. I don't know why that is.
    Maybe they have files created from older operating systems (10.6.1, and 10.3.9) that caused this.
    In this case, I might have to check permissions and repair them every time I use one of these thumb drives especially if they contain files and folders from the older Macs.

  • RD 240 1046 11U won't boot if I have USB memory sticks plugged in to it, How do I get around this?

    I have the boot order changed, so that it shouldn't even try to boot from the memory sticks, just the CD-ROM and the harddrive.
    However, if I start up, the server just sits there with a flashing cursor until I shutdown.
    If I remove the USB memory sticks, it boots fine.  They are SanDisk 64GB sticks.
    Is there another setting that needs to be changed, or is there a problem with the server?
    Thanks!

    Dear all,
    your input on the following problem would be appreciated:
    We have encountered a problem with both the "logout" and "timeout" functionality used in eCRM, due to the use of basic authentication.
    Following a users logout and/or timeout period expiring, we are invalidating the user's session, so any user info will be removed from the server memory, and if the user attempts to access the site again there will be a security challenge.
    But since basic authentication is being used and the browser already has your authentication information, it just sends it again transparently.
    Whether users will notice will depend on how many windows they have open, and which browser they're using.
    For example, in IE 5, if you open the secure site in a browser window, and close that window (using the close button on the logout confirmation page), it will "forget" the authentication information. But if I open other windows while connected to the secure site, it remembers the authentication info. Even if the users don't notice, there is a security issue associated with this behaviour.......
    Any thoughts/ideas on getting around this problem (other than the obvious - not using basic authentication!!)Send HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED (401) in the response header: http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk/Servlets/FAQ/authentication.html has more info.

  • Cannot eject USB Memory

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook, purchased in 2006 (original Core Duo model, now running OSX 10.4.11). I am noticing that, after using USB memory sticks, I cannot eject them. When I click the eject arrow next to the drive icon, I get the spinning wheel of death, and then a prompt saying the drive is use. Now, I know that the drive is not in use because all programs are closed and the light on the memory stick is not flashing. Strangely, this happens with every model of memory stick I use (Patriot, Memorex, Sony, etc.)
    Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    The USB stick probably won't, "eject," because some files on it are still open. Mac OS, being UNIX-derived, treats file folders pretty much like files themselves when it comes to counting things that are, "open," on a storage medium. Finder windows essentially count as open files.
    Be sure to close all files you've been using. You may even have to close the applications that had the files open in order for Mac OS to consider the files closed. Also close any Finder windows you have open displaying contents of the USB stick's folders.
    If you are UNIX command line savvy, you can open Applications/Utilities/terminal, and use the lsof (list open files) command to see what's open on on the system. I don't have a USB stick handy at the moment, and I don't recall exactly where external media get mounted in the OSX fie system. Try intentionally opening something on the USB stick, say for example, "MyGreatPhoto.jpg." Use the following command in the terminal:
    lsof | grep MyGreatPhoto.jpg
    Now you can see the whole path to your file as output from the command above.
    Try closing everything on the USB stick then substitute the first dozen or so characters of the path name in place of MyGreatPhoto.jpg in the command above. If the path name contains special characters or spaces, enclose it in quote marks. For example (what you type may be different):
    lsof | grep "/Volumes/USB0/"
    That should smoke out any straggler files left open.
    The ultimate way of dealing with the problem is to shut Mac OS down, then remove the USB stick once the computer is off. This is a bit time-consuming, but is safe.
    Not recommended, but if you must: Close all known open files on the USB Stick. Open a terminal window, the issue the command:
    sync
    Sync tells Mac OS that you want all pending data in I/O buffers to be written out to their respective media. Now remove the USB stick. The only time to use this approach is if there is some reason you can't shut down the Mac, but you have to remove the USB stick.
    A few other ideas:
    1. Does your Mac account have administrative rights? Under certain conditions, you may not be able to eject media if you are not an administrator.
    2. Try checking the USB device with Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. It could be the file system structure on the USB device has an error that prevents the file system from being cleanly unmounted the the Eject command.
    Hope this helps!,

  • USB Memory Stick Locks up Pismo OS 9.2.2

    I recently obtained a G3 Pismo with OS 9.2.2 installed with a strange problem. As soon as I stick a USB memory stick into one of the USB ports and attempt to transfer a file of over a few MB, the whole system locks up, forcing a hard reboot. I can transfer smaller files no problem.
    It's not heat-related, as I've seen the same problem when the computer has been off for several hours and is not hot on the bottom.
    I've tried it with an unpowered hub with the same results.
    I don't think that the stick is simply draining too much power from the slot, as I've never heard of th

    OK, so you still haven't told us how much free space you have on these partitions just so we can eliminate that.
    I had a friend with a 60Gb drive in his DA recently that had 1.5Gb left free that was having all sorts of problems until we deleted some files by burning them to a DVD.
    Next " Me ejecting it improperly isn't the issue " .If you do eject it improperly then this may be the cause of your problems , pure and simple.
    I run a Pismo, Lombard and Wallstreet on OSX and I use five or six USB sticks of various sizes on all three without any problems.
    I can drag 2Gb files to and from them all to the biggest 4Gb stick without any of them locking up.
    If it was just one USB stick that was causing this problem i would say just reformat it but the fact that they all do it suggests something else in your methodology.
    1) Try the second USB port.
    2) Reset pram.
    3) Check that the USB sticks are all backward compatible with USB1 - they may not be getting enough power to run properly.
    4) Try an external USB powered drive to see if this problem is replicated .
    5) Reformat one stick and then use it by dragging a few files to it and remove it " properly " just to humour me. .

  • Application is not working due to memory issue

    Hi Friesnds,
    Kindly help me regarding settings in java. Scenario is like that. I have one server having two jboss versions (jboss-4.2.3 GA and jboss- 3.2.6). Each having java memory (JVM settings) 1 GB. The total memory of that server is 3 GB.
    Problem is that every two days my application is not working due to memory issue. Once i freed the memory (through run the commands - (1). sync

    Application works fine.
    I heared that the above command (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) can't run frequently because of server crash.
    Kindly help me regarding this issue and provide the resolution.
    Let me know if you need more information from my side.
    Thanks

    All of the above.  I tested on 4 different networks and had no luck, I also had friends test my network and the other networks with their iPhones and all had no issues using FaceTime.
    Also after I wiped my phone (erased all content and settings) I was able to successfully initiate a FaceTime call with no changes to my network and was also able to initiate another call when connected to another previously tested network that didn't work before.  Once I restored from backup though, FaceTime stopped working again.
    I did find this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5163024?start=0&tstart=0
    and tried the suggestions found there too.  That discussion describes my issue I am having as well.

    I have a MSI 975X Platinum rev 2 mb with a e6300 processor overclocked to 2.24ghz.
    If your CPU operates @2.24 GHz, it means that you increased FSB frequency to about 348 MHz.
    To make sure there is no misunderstanding here, let me point out the following:
    Memory frequency is ALWAYS linked to FSB frequency by the FSB/DRAM Ratio you can select in BIOS.  If you select 1:1 for example, the BIOS will show that memory frequency is 533 MHz. This value however, only applies to the default FSB clock speed of 266 MHz:
    266 MHz x 1 = 266 MHz (or 533 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
    If your system is overclocked, what counts is only FSB/DRAM ratio, not the memory speed displayed in BIOS.  That means, if you set FSB/DRAM ration to 1:1 and FSB frequency to 348 MHz, your RAM will operate @:
    348 MHz x 1 = 348 MHz (or 696 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
    The main question is:
    What are you talking about when you say, you can't make your RAM operate @800 MHz?
    The BIOS does not offer a proper divider to get your RAM to 800 MHz @348 FSB clock speed to begin with.
    You have the following choices if your overclock your system:
    FSB=300 + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1.33
    300 MHz x 1.33 ~ 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
    FSB=320 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.25
    320 MHz x 1.25 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
    FSB=400 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1
    400 MHz x 1 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
    Use CPU-Z to monitor the DRAM frequency that is actually set if you are overclocking.

  • Memory issues

    I have a 2008 Macpro...remarkable up-to -date for its age...I plan to use it for some time yet. Lately I have been a having what seems to be a memory issue. There are 12 gig of Ram installed...6x2 gig each in pairs. Sometimes on boot the screen only shows a flashing folder. I shut down and reboot, and it seems fine...but only 8gig of ram shows installed. I opened it up, unseated the boards that hod the ram, and unseated and reset all he ram, and replaced the boards. Great, all he ram shows, 12 gig again. This morning, a few days later, it did it again, showing 8. So, when I run Crucial's memory analyzer, it shows first four slots full, last four empty. A few questions...are the first four slots the top board, the last four the bottom board? This, BTW, is what it was also showing before I reseated the ram. If so, the ram in question s on a separate board. Opinions, is the ram bad, or the board, or neither? Should I reseat again and flush with contact/tuner cleaner/degreaser? Could this hurt? (it is made to clean electronics) the machine does seem ever so slightly unstable. FCP crashed once in a 5 hour edit, which it has done before but rarely. The machine itself did not crash, just the program. Can using the machine like this do more damage, or will it just not boot? I feel it is a seating or connection issue, as I have never seen ram come and go, once it is fried it's fried. The ram is still pretty pricy, but I was going to buy 4 more gigs just to fill it out. Are the two board that hold the ram identical, top and bottom? If so, is a good diagnostic tool to swap them and see what happens? Move all the ram and swap board positions, or do I risk blowing ram ? Remember, the ram did show up when I reseated, so it seems like it is I damaged. My goal would be to see if top ram stops appearing. Does ram need to be filled in order? I know in pairs, but can I just swap the boards and leave the ram, which should look like filling slots 1,2,5,6,7,8...as opposed to 1,2,3,4,5,6.  Can the boards be swapped, or are they set somehow to be 1-4 and 5-8, or is that determined automatically by their upper or lower insertion? Any other advice is appreciated. Funds are low, so I need to keep this machine running. Other info, 3.06ghz (2 quad core) Xeon CPUs, 1tb system drive, 4 TB raid5' OSX 10.6.8 dual graphics display with 512MB (can't remember card model right now). Also, can I update graphic card in this machine? I looked at it a few years ago, but the I for I found was confusing and I never got to it. I figure I might be able to get a better card pretty cheap by now. Thanks all.

    You have typed a huge list of ideas all as one paragraph with many questions in it without a single bit of white space. My eyes are not good enough to read a question, attempt to answer it, then dig through the sea of letters to find the next question.
    Your writing needs white space, which gives it a peculiar overall shape, and allows a reader with poor eyesight to return to a particular spot in the text. So I will attempt to answer some parts of your query, but will be forced to do so from memory of what you wrote.
    The Mac Pro uses Error Correcting Code (ECC) RAM. Eight extra bits are stored with each word, and checked when read back. Single-bit errors are detected, and the check bits are used to make a correction on the fly. More complicated errors are detected, and can cause your Mac to halt on a kernel panic to prevent bad data from propagating.
    ECC RAM means your Mac can detect bad memory easily at Startup, and can declare pairs of DIMMs "absent" to avoid using them.
    Contact corrosion, which was an issue with much older DIMMs, is rarely an issue with these FBDIMMs. Once re-Inserted ONCE, corrosion will not recur for a year or more.
    The upper and lower Riser-cards are identical.
    The FBDIMMs in these machines are subject to overheating and death. If Mac OS X or any program reports DIMMs as missing, at least one of the DIMMs in that pair has died (but since they are installed in pairs, both are marked absent).

  • Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

    I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
    I Have discovered that  if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
    This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
    Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
    I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
    I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
    I have  tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
    I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
    Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
    Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
     Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

    Yes i did mean chipset.  
    I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
    I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
     I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
    I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
    I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
     I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
    I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
    I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
    Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
    My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
    The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
    I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
    Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
    I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
    What temps should I be looking for on these items?

  • Firefox 3.6.8 and memory issues

    After the last update to 3.6.6, I disabled plugin-container per the instructions given on the forum, and my RAM problems went away. However, after the automatic update to 3.6.8, the memory problems came back, with memory usage going up to 92%. I downgraded to 3.6.4, and turned plugin-container off again; while memory usage is currently at 84%, it is not as low as it was before the upgrade to 3.6.8. (79-80%) (There is very little difference in the websites being opened on the various tabs.)

    ffs guys. It's a free browser. It's cool. We love it. But can we do something about memory issues? Almost every release has huge memory leaks.
    How about halving the release points and focus on memory issues for the other half of the time. I am a long time user since way back in the day and it seems to me that instead of trying to release so many versions, we should be focused more fixing the current release.
    I say put a moratorium on new features until bloat can be fixed. These experiences are starting to give me a hardon for IE again.
    Screw new features. I can deal with plain old tabs like they are. I don't need more bells and whistles. This browser has been kicking ass and taking names for a loonnnggggg time. We don't need more bloat. Keep the security fixes coming but everything else can wait. Take a breath. Stop and smell the roses for a few weeks.

    I think there is no one solution to buffer pool issue. Buffer pool issue happens due to many reasons like how you design the data flow, requirement of push down or even insufficient memory in the running environment.
    You can check by checking 'collect statistics for optimization' during running the job. Also in the data flow, try changing from pageable cache to memory cache by right clicking and selecting properties.  The below link give some details on caching, might be helpful.
