Mybook studio raid 0, empty after installing Mavericks

Yep, Niteowl. That is called OpenMetahttp://code.google.com/p/openmeta/wiki/OpenMetaApplications

or Apple's BSD derivative. Stealing like the raven, they call it in my country. That used to be open source Linux code. Yet another Mav structural change...

Thanks, guys.

FWIW, I had no problems with an older-formatted drive used for Time Machine.

Drew, the "DS.Store" problem is well-documented, and incredibly serious. (And Apple has said absolutely nothing about it, ASAIK) When you try to manually drag large amounts of data from one drive to another, the process constantly get stopped dead by corrupted ds files. - The data itself is fine, but you have to stay at your computer, for hours and hours, moving small amounts of data at a time.

For an Audio / video professional lie me, this is beyond a problem. It's costing me untold amounts of money in lost production. I literally want to strangle someone.

RELATED QUESTION:

Suppose one were to re-format all of their drives, under Mavericks, but then go back to Mtn Lion?

Is this a disaster waiting to happen?

I've tried installing Mtn Lion OVER Mavericks, but the installer says it's not supported on my system.( ! )

I suspect that Apple built-in a failsafe, so maybe for this reason?

I assume I can re-install Mtn Lion if I totally re-format my boot drive, but now I'm really worried to do ANYTHING.

It's nice of Western Digital to tell us to remove their software. It would be even nicer if they told us HOW to do so!

I'm having the same problem on a G tech drive

For those of you waiting for the recovery results of my WD My Book Studio Edition II 6TB RAID 0 which was erased and renamed to MyBook:

Kroll Ontrack Germany had the drive for two months. No directory structure at all and all files have been renamed. A quick browse shows that many recovered files cannot be read.

Haven't been on this site since xmas . I have been spending alot of my spare time recataloging what picture and video files I was able to recover.

one problem i have is that alot of my home videos that i recovered using Data Rescue 3 have been recovered as individual jpeg images. ie, 1996 holiday video now is generically listed under images as jpeg18 and has 10,056

.jpg files or photos.

Can anyone give me an idea of how to put images back into video form .?

other than flicking through them fast.

Try any video application that can import 'image sequences'. Quicktime Pro 7 is one way - obviously you will need to experiment with frame rate & the videos will be mute. Quicktime Pro requires a licence from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A/quicktime-7-pro-for-mac-os-x

VLC or mplayerX may be an option too for free apps.

I suspect a command line tool could be better to automate lots of files. FFMPEG or HandbrakeCLI could be an option if you need to process a few folders, but you'll need to install the tools (I think they require compiling IIRC).

Thanks Drew i will have a play with quicktime pro. cheers h

I came to page 16 of this thread..

Since we are months further now I was wondering if any one has a solution for:

1. configurating my computer in such a way so that I can connect my harddisks again without running the risk to loose all their data.

2. which recovery software gets best results.

3. Wether there is any initiative to let apple and/or WD know that they can't let this happen ever again.

Best regards,

Steye

or maybe if theres a page somewhere that has an summary of all solutions.

This isn't the only thread covering data loss on 10.9, so I doubt there is any summary - this site isn't designed to do summaries, you are welcome to start one if you like. It will need to be away from this site since Apple & the moderators will delete anything considered off topic etc. The Terms & Conditions probably don't allow you to do this anyway!

1. You cannot defy the laws of physics - all hardware will all fail (at some point) back up your data (multiple copies, multiple locations, multiple storage media). I would hope there is one lesson everybody learned from this - don't install 3rd party disk drivers or 3rd party disk 'configuration' tools on OS X.

2. No idea, create the issue summary & then test all the tools & let us know - (it's not as simple as you make it sound).

3. Apple & WD are companies, if they keep destroying users data they will lose business, I think they already know that this is a bad thing!
