![]() #5 can cause system profiler to stall, but always causes disk utility to stall when opened. (or either, with significant delay) Failing hard drive, often starts clicking or cycling after you try to access it, at which point the FWTDM symbol stops moving. It can prevent disk utility from fully launching, or apple system profiler from displaying its list. the speed at which the symbol moves may change depending on activity, but it should not just stop for say, 30 sec. #4 is easy to spot, the firewire symbol stops moving, or stalls for periods of time. Usually dead (clicking immediately?) hard drive #3 you will see the computer listed in apple system profiler, but will see no hard drive in the list below the computer, you will only see "target mode" iirc with nothing below it. #1-2 will cause the other computer to not show up in apple system profiler on the other mac, in the firewire section. (which I like to abbreviate FWTDM)ģ) hard drive not posting on targeted machine / loose connectionĤ) io errors on hard drive of targeted machineĥ) directory errors on targeted hard drive There are several reasons why a mac won't appear on another mac in firewire target disk mode. Would this indicate more of a mechanical problem or can such noises be caused by "other" problems. (Very) recently the laptop has been making an occasional, how should I describe it, gentle clunk noise - I first noticed it when I was trying to repair the Disk. ![]() PS Having just shut down and started up again, I was given a reminder of something else I should have added. OR, is my machine now considered too old to be contemplating its revival - I'd obviously love a new MacBook/Pro but I can't really justify or afford one at this moment in time.īy the way, just in case I'm giving the impression that I too am beyond whatever, I do keep (fairly) regular back ups on external FW drives. Or, perhaps the HD is beyond even them and a replacement might be a better bet. Has anyone any suggestions regarding ANY of the aforementioned? Sorry, I realise its another how long is a piece of string type question.Īlso, in anticipation, which would be the better utility, DW or TTP to try to address these problems. ![]() I know, for what that's worth.įinally, as if I needed more aggravation, starting up now seems to take about 6 minutes compared to about 1 minute previously, and shut down is also taking longer. I have checked that the ports and cables work on both the laptop and Mini with other devices and all seems fine, except of course for the absence of the laptop on the Mini desktop.įor no apparent reason, by this time I was beyond reason, I tried to repair (again, but that's a previous story) the Disk on the laptop, but Disk Utility cannot seem to complete the repair of :-Incorrect number of thread records, invalid leaf count, invalid volume free block count.

Whatsapp, which gains revenues the old fashioned way – getting users to pay for the app on a first-time basis or yearly subscription – may be feeling the need very soon to switch over. WhatsApp hasn’t stated outright that it won’t introduce stickers, but given its relatively featureless user experience, it probably won’t be doing so anytime soon. It’s no wonder that today Viber is announcing it’s entering the sticker store battle with its own stickers. That’s 27 percent of its $100.7 million in revenue. Just this August, Line reported that 27 percent of its revenues came from stickers. On top of this, stickers are a huge source of revenue for the chat app giants. From WeChat to Line to KakaoTalk, everybody in the Asian chat app market has stickers.
