OS X :: Interrupt HD Format - Might Not Be Properly Wiped
Dec 9, 2010If a user begins a 35-pass HD wipe, makes it to around 15 passes, and then clicks 'skip', does that negate the effect of the erase?

Feb 16, 2010When I went to just give the machine a restart, it wouldn't restart (stuck on black screen with fans wailing away) until I pulled my Sonnet Allegro PCIe USB card out.
The only thing connected to it was my Bose Companion 5 USB speakers (which don't seem to work well through hubs, so I bought the Sonnet Allegro to direct connect them)
Thoughts? Anyone else run into this? The Allegro was in the machine for a week now as well as the BOSE speakers being hooked up to it. Out of nowhere this started this morning.
Windows On Mac :: How To Interrupt Bootcamp Installation Because Of An Error?
May 2, 2009I have started a bootcamp installation on new (updated) mbp. During the install, windows-installation makes a critical error and says that the installation cannot continue.
I managed to eject the disk by holding down the mouse button, but my problem is that the mbp starts up in the corrupted windows installation and stops again. I'm in an endless rutine where I cannot boot in Leopard again.
I'v tried to give it the Leopard installation disk but it's beeing ejected. How do I get pass bootcamp and into OS X again.

Software :: Finder Flashes And Interrupt Application / Quick Time Update
Jan 27, 2009I received an automatic update for quicktime yesterday. After the install, I noticed that Finder would flash and interrupt any application. It seems like I clicked off on the desktop when I am working. I then have to click on the application screen to continue working. This happens about every 2-3 minute intervals. When I restart the computer, Suitecase always opens up. Any ideas?? I have a G5 with 10.4.

Aug 20, 2010about an hour ago i downloaded stuffit the zip program. I got the link from a post here at this forum. As soon as i installed it my screen flashed real quick and my background changed back to the stock "space" one. I then noticed all my music, pics, files, games, and movies have been erased. When i open iphoto, safari, itunes, etc. it is like I'm opening for the first time. I have searched and searched and never found a fix or a reason why this happened. I don't see any change to the user fold or in the accounts settings. I have restarted several times. I don't have any backups to restore from because I haven't purchased time capsule yet.
View 17 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Where Did My Files Go / MBP Apparently Wiped Drive
Aug 1, 2009I have two terabyte hard drives in my desktop. Since I barely boot the desktop anymore, I pulled one out and hooked it up in a USB enclosure. I was using it to watch movies off of. I made a shortcut ("alias"?) to the drive (which was mounted using NTFS-3g) and put it in the movies folder so that I could access it from frontrow. I had a bunch of seasons of Seinfeld, Simpsons, and Family guy that i ripped from DVD using handbrake, but there was also backups of alot of my Software CD's on the drive. Nothing I can't make again from the originals, but a pain to do.
Regardless, all of a sudden (A day after hooking it up), everything is gone. On the Mac side, I just see a folder labeled "System Volume information". I unplugged it and plugged it in to windows and I just see a couple files that get created by Mac OS ("trashes", etc), none of my actual data. Both sides, however, recognize that only 27GB is free on the drive which leaves me some hope that I haven't lost everything. Does anyone have suggestions for recovering this stuff?
The drive is a WD Caviar Black 7200RPM 1TB disk. As far as I'm concerned, they are the best 1TB drive made from a warranty / reliability standpoint, but obviously disk failures do happen....this doesn't seem like a HDD failure to me though as the drive *seems* to be working correctly. I tested it with HDTune and the transfer rate is still the same, so it seems like something got corrupt somehow (not a mechanical failure)...
Applications :: ITunes Wiped Out Music
Oct 9, 2009Just yesterday I'm opening up iTunes and to my disbelief all my music was not there (40+ gigs worth). I try and close down and open iTunes back up but nothing, I restart my xp computer and still nothing. So I look under file explorer and it seems like all my music is still located under the "iTunes music" folder. So I uninstalled all the apple products on my computer and reinstalled iTunes 9 et. Al. And still no results. Does anyone know how to get my library to show up in iTunes?

Mar 3, 2010I updated MacJournal, and to my horror, see nearly all the notes in multiple journals BLANK�two years� worth of notes just gone. The page titles are still there, but no content. The data is critically important to my business. Where is it? How do I get it back? FYI: I�ve been on the road for work, which means no Time Capsule backups for the past week. While on the road, I�ve been constantly working on four pages in one Journal�these, plus maybe four others in different journals still show data. My guess is that restoring from an older backup will mean sacrificing newer data...which is not an option. I�ve dug through Mariner Software�s forums and blogs, but can�t find anything (other than angry posts from people saying Mariner is horrible about responding to problems....great. This is a nightmare.

Feb 28, 2009I am having an issue with a G5 my buddy just gave to me. The computer had been working fine for him, he recently got a new iMac. Anyways, we wiped the hard drive and I took it to my place to do a clean install with 10.4. Upon start-up I get a screen with a folder icon that flashes between a question mark and the mac face. I have tried holding down C upon boot, no success. Dual CPU powermac G5, bought in 2003 or 04 (he thinks 2003). Do not have original installation disk. Have retail copy of 10.4 If I hold down the option key when powering on. On the screen appears a mouse icon which I can move, as well as two icons. A circular arrow in a box, and a right-pointing arrow in a box.

She turned her Mac on this morning and said that windows had completely disappeared! She took it to her local computer store, not an apple store, and was told that because time machine had been turned on and off that windows and the hard drive associated with it had all been wiped!!

MacBook Pro :: External Hard Drive Wiped Clean
Jul 14, 2010I purchased an external harddrive to back up my entire student drive. The drive had to be formatted to be compatible with a Mac, and I did this with the customer support over the phone. Used basic copy and paste methods to put my information on the ehd. I triple checked to make sure it stayed there, by properly ejecting drive and plugging it back in. Had my mbPro wiped clean entirely, reloaded Leopard, and am now left with just basic applications and files. Plug in the ehd, and it shares the exact same information as my current wiped-clean drive. I made it as an exact replica of my information filled mac, and it is now an exact replica of my empty mac. All documents, music, photos, applications, etc. GONE. This information was valuable to me beyond words, and I need it back. Does TimeMachine have anything to do with this? I have never used this application, but upon plugging in my ehd, it asked for SOMETHING (which I don't remember).

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Format External Hard Drive In Apple Partition Map Format?
Nov 5, 2009I'm running Snow Leopard on my new Macbook Pro. I've got a 1.5TB External hard drive that I'm trying to figure out how to format in HFS+ with Apple Partition Map. I can figure out how to format in HFS using Disk Utility, however it still does it in GUID format and I do not know how to do it in Apple Partition Map.
Googleing this for hours has lead with all kinds of information on how to go to GUID FROM Apple Partition Map but not the other way around. I know GUID is the new hottness.. but this drive will be used exclusively to connect to my XBOX 360 and it supposedly only reads HFS+ when its formatted with Apple Partition Map. (I have tried it with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID, and the XBOX does NOT recognize it) I do not want to use Fat 32, (I know that that is the other major option) beacuse it limits file size.
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Restoring Mail, Etc From Time Machine To A Wiped-clean Disk?
Mar 10, 2012I have wiped my hard disk clean and reinstalled Lion. I don't want to restore the whole shebang from my Time Machine backup because I want my apps to be installed clean. So my first question is about restoring my mail. I understand that I should make Mail my current application, then click on "Enter Time Machine."When I do that, I see "Today" which is my current setup - nothing much on my computer. I try to go back in time, but I can't because Time Machine thinks "Today" is the only existing backup. How can I get Time Machine to restore Mail from my hard drive before it was wiped clean?

Jan 9, 2011I'm using Macbook Pro(2010, 10.6.6) and a PC with Windows 7. I need to transfer image files from both laptops to an external drive. I formatted the external drive in exFAT and wanted to know if there are any problems that might occur in the future. I already know there is an issue with such programs as Carbon Copy Cloner. I primarily need the drive for backup of the images and not system backups. Do you have any file corruption or other problems formatting in exFAT?
