Weird Doc in OS drive

Hi,
I've noticed a weird doc on my OS drive in last few days, does anyone have a clue what it may be ?
%FF%FF%FF%FF%FF%FF%FF%FF %DD%FF%FB%FF%FF%FF%C0 zero bytes
only thing that's changed for me is i have connected a davado Tiny router to my system..
could it be a log in thing ?, times seem to coincide.
OS is 10.7.2 on Macpro early 08 SSD HD.
Cheers for any advice

Does this when closing the grid sometimes. Again, only an issue with 10.5.

Can't export Word docs to network drive

I can't export Word documents to a network drive. I can save the document in .pages format, but if I try to export, the software goes through the motions, but the Word document is never created. If I "Save As" and check "Save Copy as Word Document," I receive an error message "The document ... could not be exported as ....doc." At least I get an error message, which is better than thinking a document exported when it didn't. I can't find any way to report this bug to Apple.

I'm not really surprised by this behaviour.
I think that good practice is to save / export on a 'normal' device then move the document from the 'normal' device to the network.

Where are my old iCloud docs? (iCloud drive)

namely Numbers and Pages.
I did a "just in case" and just backed up all of them, however, I'm curious whether they're still hidden somewhere in my iCloud account, or did "update to yosemite" just wipe them when I updated to Yosemite? (I already had

HUh, that means that when i already upgraded to icloud drive on my ipad, the docs on the macbook werent even in icloud, just appeared to be, and were in all reality stored locally? that would explain why they werent there when i clean wiped my mbp and installed yosemite. Thanks
Well, they were there (local copies anyway) inside a Mobile Documents folder in the user Library folder.

Weird Issue: External Hard Drive disc space calculation error

Okay I just started having this weird error as far as calculating disc space. I added everything up and it reached 200GB out of 465GB but the bottom reads as no space left at all!
And when I go into the widget it will read 0 but the bar will show space left.
Any help getting this hard drive to read correctly.

Check this user tip I wrote:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122973&tstart=20
Also, what file system is the hard drive formatted in according to Get Info's Format field? Get Info can be gotten by selecting the drive icon on the desktop and going to File menu -> Get Info, or using Command-I (the letter pronounced "eye". Command is the Apple logo key on your keyboard).
Also is boot camp installed?

Weird incident with DVD drive

Weird thing happened last night... was taking out a DVD from the drive and a small thin donut shapped rubbery/cloth-like thing (best I can describe it) came out with it... any ideas what that could be and if that's going to affect operation of my computer? I've been able to write a DVD since it happened, but have also had a couple fail during writing.
Thanks.
PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like some part of the DVD drive is falling to pieces. Either that or a copy-protected ring fell off a copy-protected disk. Hopefully it is the latter. I'd take it to a service center to be sure.

Weird Problem with Firewire Drive on 17" MBP

I have an external firewire drive that worked great on my 15" MBP and with any other computer I have never had any problems. The problem occurs when I plug the drive into my 17" MBP with the magsafe connected, it just wont mount, but as soon as I unplug the magsafe the drive mounts. Really weird. Anyone have a similar problem? I am going to the Apple Store and see if I can duplicate the problem.

I'd backup your files if you can. If the drive is failing then the advise you've gotten is good advise. You can try software recovery if you are unable to use the drive:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
If the above is not possible then sending the drive to a data recovery service may be your only option, and they are very expensive.

Weird problem with NTFS drive

I went on and compiled my own kernel, it's not the first time i do it, but what happened to me yesterday was so unusual.
i put the kernel compilation at night, i went to sleep, the morning i had the package ready, no errors what so ever, then i went and restarted the computer, now after the kernel loads i get an error when it tries to auto mount that ntfs drive, well i thought i made a mistake in the kernel, but no, the reason it got an error was it could not find the UUID.
well, i went and tried using blkid on it, nothing was returned.
then tried to mount the partition manually, it said it contains an error and i need to run chkdsk.
i tried using the ntfsfix, nothing helped, still complains to run chkdsk.
well, tried to log in into windows from grub (nothing was changed there and it worked as before), i got it does not recognize that system file. although fdisk -l shows NTFS!
I went far and created a bootable rescue cd with some tools (windows based), it recognized the drive, but not as NTFS, just as an unformatted drive, and it have 100% freespace, this is so weird, i really don't care of the files that were there, it was just an winxp installation with outlook (and the emails are kept on the server) but what i really care is that it could be that ntfs-3g unmounted the partition some how in a wrong way causing the partition to fail? (sounds weird to me..)
i also ran chkdsk but the chkdsk could not check that partition as it said it can't access it, unknown file systems.
Lucky nothing worthy to me was deleted because i had nothing in there, but i still feel something bad happened to there, it's must have been ntfs-3g because i didn't use anything else on that partition and also i didn't use the partition at ALL (no copy/del , etc..) since the computer was up.
I tried many ways saving the partition, but no luck, everything i tried complained about wrong fs system (including windows tools).
Well, more space to archlinux now

If you have a two devices banged out, deleted them and restart. It should auto detect the devices and load the driver. I had a problem like this. That worked for me.
What kind of hard drive is it.

Hyperlinks change in Word doc to local drive

I have an issue with with a Word document that has hyperlinks in it to other sharepoint sites.
When I open Document1 from its orginial location in SharePoint Doc Library, it opens fine with all links working.
When I goto a link on a SharePoint site in the same site collection that links to the same document in its original location the links change to
file:///C:\User\usern_name\documents\...
I am opening the document, not saving.
Here is an article I found helps but this only solves the problem by configuring each machine that opens the file: (not an ideal situation when you have 200,000 plus employees)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903163
Method 2: Word 2007
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
Click the Advanced.
Under General, click Web Options.
Click the Files tab.
Click to clear the Update links on save check box.
Click OK two times.
Does anyone know what causes the hyperlinks to change depending on the which sharepoint site you open it from?
Brandon

Hi ,
Please provide more information about your problem .
1.
What is your word version ? Word 2007 or Word 2010?
2.
What do you mean by ‘goto a link on a SharePoint site in the same site collection that links to the same document in its original location the links change… ’
?How do you create the link on a different SharePoint site? By uploading the document to the site ?
3.
How do you insert your hyperlinks .Just type them in or by insert>hyperlinks? If you insert a hyperlink by using insert>hyperlinks ,the address won’t change to
a UNC path .You can view the address by right click on the hyperlink and choose ‘edit hyperlink’ .
For more information about hyperlinks ,please refer to this site:

How acceed to docs in icloud drive

Is it possible to see the content of Icloud drive on m iphone and ipad (ios8.1.3) like I can do on explorateur windows.

Hi Pietrucciello,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when your documents are not syncing to your other devices. In this situation I recommend reading over the attached article to make sure everything is set up correctly across your devices.

How do I open pdf file from web? Opening pdf docs from hard drive works fine.

Hello,
I am unable to open pdf files from the web. Documents on my hard drive open fine. My computer gives me 2 error messages when I try to open web-based documents. Thanks.

Why did you post so many informations about operating system, web browser, Adobe Reader version, and the error messages?

Can't open ai doc from flash drive.

Hello.
I run CS3 on my Mac, but have CS4 running on a PC laptop. Last night, I was working on a few ai files that I originally created on my Mac (in CS3). I had no problems with the files and saved them all directly to my flash drive. When I tried to open the same files this morning from the flash drive on my Mac, I got the following message: A file I/O error has occurred. Each ai file I worked on gave me the same error. (Incedentally, the InDesign files I used opened on the Mac just fine.)
I have swapped platforms/versions before with no trouble. I back saved the ai files to CS3. I tried to open the files on the PC, but it wouldn't open on the PC either.
I am not sure if I have an Illustrator problem, a flash drive problem or what? Also, I saved some of the ai files from the PC as eps files to the flash drive and they have seemed to disappear all-together. Maybe it is a PC thing? (I have very little experience with PCs)
Help is desperatly needed. I hate to redo the artwork if I can help it. Naturally, I am under a deadline, so I may have to anyway, but I would like to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Thank you. I guess I learned a lesson. I just hate learning these things the "hard way."
For some reason, when I tried (again) to open the files from the flash on the PC, the PC wanted to scan it for problems. I allowed it - thinking it might clean up anything that might be causing problems. Only it didn't help at all. In fact, it converted one of the ai files into a text file! Then, more of the files disappeared from the flash after the scan, though it didn't ask permission to delete any files.
I am a Mac girl, so this kind of reinforces any prejudices I have had against PCs. In all of my years of using a Mac, never have files disappeared from my hard drive!
If anyone has any great ideas as far as fixing the ai/text file, that would be great. Otherwise, I had better get busy re-creating all the art. I promise to be cautious using flash drives with ai files going forward.
Thank you!

SSD & HDD setup - knowing how to split OS & Apps + Docs over two drives

Hi
I have a new 128GB SDD drive I want to use in my Mac as well as a SATAII 1TB hard drive I have already. I already run Snow Leopard and Lion due to hardware not supported by Lion I still need to use. As Mountain Lion is coming out soon, I have read about keeping the OS and Apps on an SDD drive and Data on a separate larger standard HDD (as much cheaper than an SSD is).
I use Lion for probably 90% of the time and Snow Leopard for the other 10%.
What would be the best way to do this. I am happy to start off again with a clean install, only transferring the files I need from an external hard drive to my internal HD together with backed up emails etc. I can't see why I would use Lion by the end of July when Mountain Lion is out, unless any of my other hardware is not supported by it.
If anyone has already done this or know of any websites with this info on, please let me know. I have already checked a few websites, but not found the info I need.
Thanks in advance.
Matt

Thanks Bill. We see so many systems with a raid0 boot drive nowadays, I didn't even consider it to be an issue. Noel Carboni on the Photoshop forum is proud of his multi drive SSD raid0 that he uses for _everything_, although Noel is only a Photoshop guy, and software engineer. I also have an MSI laptop that came as standard with two SSDs in a raid0 for the boot drive (MSI GT70).
Regards recovery tools, I have Shadow Protect, but have not used its boot drive image feature up to now. I don't know if that would cover me for a lost boot drive?
BTW I have worked out how and when to install the drivers. I am also committed to the two drives now, so just have to decide how to use them.

IBook will not power on suddenly, weird noise from CD drive

Hello!
My iBook G4 (800 MHz, 512MB RAM) was working fine yesterday, then suddenly this morning it wouldn't power on. When I press the power button, I can hear the hard drive start spinning, but there is no chime and no screen. It just stays black.
The optical drive also makes a strange noise. Usually when you start it up, you can hear the CD drive make noise like it does when it ejects a CD. But now, it sounds very strange. If I had to guess, I would say that it sounds like it is going out.
I have tried to start without the battery and have reset the PRAM and PMU multiple times without any luck. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

gjortega ,
Here's the troublshooting guide from the service manual:
"Startup
The computer will not power on
1. Remove any connected peripherals.
2. Try known-good power outlet.
3. Try known-good power adapter and power cord.
4. Remove battery.
5. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
power manager.
Warning: Resetting the power manager will permanently remove a RAM disk, if
present, and all of its contents. You will also need to reset the date and time
(using the Date & Time control panel).
6. Disconnect internal keyboard completely. Inspect connectors. Restart with keyboard
disconnected.
7. Remove any additional RAM and AirPort Extreme Card.
8. Try known-good DC board.
9. Verify power button is connected properly to logic board, if power button is not
functioning correctly or damaged, replace the top case.
10. Replace logic board."
Now that #10 would be about U28 or the GPU. U28 is that site I sent you. The GPU sits under the option-Apple key and you can put pressure on it from underneath that area. There is a large heat spreader that sits on top so you have to come from underneath.

Pages doc to usb drive

I'm trying to save a "pages" document to a usb drive. How do I share the document to this drive? I want to have the document printed at the printers. It's a medical document and I can't email it.

For a commercial printer, Print to .pdf but make sure you have sufficient resolution for all your images, use the correct color profiles and avoid transparency in any objects, which includes, shadows, refections, fancy borders and 3D charts.
Also make sure all black text and linework is pure 100% black and not cmyk mixes.
A Printer can better work from an original Pages file with the fonts used, but that means they must have Macs and the same version of Pages.
