Cd won't mount, permissions, backup data

I have had to erase my OS 10.3.9 and start all over again with 10.3.5 [and ALL the updates and ALL the new software I've added](all starting when I couldn't load 10.4.3). I made a backup disk using Disk Utility of My Pictures, bookmark.plist, and some Pages documents. The CD was mountable under the old OS. Now after reloading everything and hopefully all the same updates, it wont mount. In Disk Utility I can verify the disk but permission buttons are not active. Mac Help explains that I can loose permission when deleting an OS, and can worked around by ignoring permissions. But to ignore permissions, I need to be able to select it in Finder. Well just how in the flippin world am I supposed to select it in Finder when it wont mount? Why would a backup process be so difficult to use for its intended purpose; TO RELOAD DATA?
Rick

To clarify further, the permissions on the CD are disabled [?]. The CD shows up in Disk Utility in grey print but can be highlited. It is inferior to, or 'inside' a disk image [?] called Session 1, which is under the Pioneer drive image. If I highlite the volume underneath this Session 1, (the grey text 'backupfile') in Disk Utility and 'GetInfo' this is what I see:
Name : backupfile
Type : Volume
Disk Identifier : disk1s1s2
Mount Point : Not mounted
File System : Mac OS Extended
Connection Bus : ATAPI
IO Content : Apple_HFS
Device Tree : uata/@0:2
Writable : No
Capacity : 647.4 MB (678,871,040 Bytes)
Permissions Enabled : No
Can Turn Permissions Off : Yes
Can Be Formatted : Yes
Bootable : Yes
Supports Journaling : Yes
Journaled : No
Disk Number : 1
Partition Number : 2
The Mount button at the top of Disk Utility activates when I highlight the volume but clicking it just makes the drive spin and nothing happens.
Still looking for a way to get my data back if anyone can help.

  • TimeCapsule Won't Mount for Backup

    My TimeCapsule is running on automatic for backups but for the past several days, I get a message that the disk won't mount. It worked flawlessly for months. I can connect to the capsule through the finder for manual storage and the wireless works very well. Restarted everything including the ADSL modem that links our network to the internet (and TimeCapsule). Ran Airport Utility several times with no luck. Help!

    I bought a Time Capsule when they first were released. Have and iMac and Macbook Pro. I never could get it to work, so I returned it. I recently bought another one feeling that the bugs were finally worked out and I should have no problems. I was able to get it to work properly and used it for Time Machine backups. Two weeks after I purchased it and after my alloted time to return was over, it has gone haywire and i cannot for the life of me get it to perform as it did when I first purchased it. I went back to my old hard drive I was using for backup and have had no problems. The computer can see the disk but cannot mount it. I erased my backups and was able to perform an initial backup, but after that, it would not mount the disk. I give up. $500 dollars and what? Now and hour on the phone with support? Give me a break. Apple products should work with Apple products. This is totally unacceptable, but what can I do? There is no answer to my problem that I can find through support or on the discussion forums. I think I have a real "Apple" on my hands.

  • Data CD's won't Mount

    I recently upgraded the RAM and operating system. Prior to upgrading, I had already noticed that CD's sometimes did not mount on the first try. After upgrading, it seems that data CD's mostly won't mount, audio CD's mostly mount, and DVD's mount.
    Now, I don't use my CD drive all that much, so I don't know if this has something to do with the upgrade or whether it's just a coincidence. Here's what I've tried so far without success...
    1) Repaired Permissions.
    2) Repaired Disk from Install disc. Message indicated that no repairs were necessary.
    3) Downloaded and re-installed Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC), and repaired Permissions.
    4) Tried a Safe Boot.
    5) Tried booting FirmWare (AppleOption+OF), and entering the following commands:
    set-defaults (hit return)
    reset-all (hit return)
    6) Verified RAM specifications.
    7) Ran the Apple Hardware Test. All components passed.
    Anyone have any ideas? Or do you think the drive needs replacing?
    Thanks!

    Are any commercial pressed CDs other than the Office
    disc causing problems?
    I just tried a number of commercially pressed CD's without a problem. These included 4 of the OS X Jaguar 10.2 CD's, Logitech, Lexmark, and Norton AntiVirus. I also tried an audio CD and had no problem. However, when I tried a data CD (Verbatim CD-R), it wouldn't load.
    It's possible that the Office
    disc is itself defective (MS should be willing to
    replace it if it won't mount in any other Macs)...
    That's great! I'll have to see if I can find someone with a Mac so that I can test the disc.
    There are some CD-R/DVD-R stoarge tips at the NIST's
    Care and Handling of CDs and
    DVDs...
    That's great! I'll check it out...
    ... although the single biggest step you can
    take to ensure long CD-R life if to find high-quality
    blank discs to use in the first place.
    Which ones do you recommend?
    Let us know about other commercial discs and if the
    lens cleaner helps.
    I didn't get a chance to buy the lens cleaner today, but I should be able to buy one tomorrow. I'll definitely let you know whether it helps.
    Thanks for your help, JMVP!

  • External HDD (for Time Machine backup) detected but won't mount on desktop

    I have been using this external HDD as my Time Machine backup for many months now. No desktop display settings have been changed (I checked), but now it won't mount on my desktop. I suspect one of my kids was banging around on the keyboard, as they have done in the past, and renamed it. Unfortunately it appears they renamed it to NULL this time around. I didn't think that was possible, but I've plugged it into 3 different Windows and iMac machines, and in all cases the external drive gets detected, but then in all cases it doesn't mount. The Volume Label does appear blank in the device properties.
    Is there a way to access my drive again to rename it? Will that allow it to mount again? Or is there a way to access it to just reformat the whole darn thing?
    Thanks!
    Tom

    I don't think it's possible to have a null name for a drive so i suspect there is a problem with it. open disk utility. does it show the name of the drive? try repairing it (repair disk not permissions). if that doesn't help you can always reformat it with Disk Utility. select the whole drive ( model, not name) and use the partition tab.

  • Backup of Macintosh HD won't mount

    I back up my entire system making an image with Disk Utility (as well as Time Machine). Time Machine doesn't back up Paralells VM files, so I went to grab it from my Disk Utility .dmg file that I made.  It mounts "Boot Camp" just fine, but refuses to mount "Macintosh HD", which is where the file is stored.
    Any ideas?  It has to be possible to mount this!
    MacBook Pro Retina (Mid 2012), OS X 10.9.4, WD 2 TB External

    No, it's there. It's there on all my backup images. I used to be able to mount it. 10.9.4 won't let me mount it, for some reason. Even tried to mount from the recovery partition. No joy. It's just grayed out. Try to manually mount and it says could not mount. Use First-Aid and try again. First-Aid can't find anything wrong. Still won't mount.

  • External drives won't mount after running repair permissions

    None of my external drives will mount after running disk permissions. Drives work fine on my mbpro.
    None of the external drives show up in disk utilities...
    I've try shutting down and unplugging computer. even mini zip drives won't mount.
    I'm running 10.4.11
    PPC G5 2.3Ghz
    Thanks for any help..

    Repairing Permission only deals with installer receipts and system components. Not with mounting or accessing hard drives.
    Have your run Apple DU First Aid? Disk Warrior? Only use latest version for your OS.
    Are you trying to clone your system to external and then repairing permissions? trying to boot from them?
    If cloning, make sure the "Ignore Ownership" flag is unchecked before cloning (but do repair permissions on external drives you intend to boot from, such as a Firewire drive).
    What type of cases and interface are these?

  • External drive won't mount- which software is best for data recovery?

    Hi,
    My external OWC drive won't mount to the desktop. It is visible in Disc Utility, but can't be manually mounted from there. Verify and Repair disk functions state that the disk appears ok (log below):
    Verify and Repair volume “OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro mini”
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro mini appears to be OK.
    Drive lights up and spins. No weird sounds, just won't mount.
    Not everything on the disc was backed up before the problem occurred. It's still under warranty with OWC, but I'd like to attempt to recover the data before sending it in for repair/replacement. The OWC tech on the phone said he's never seen this specific problem with this drive.
    I'm thinking Data Rescue 3 would be the best software to try, but does anyone know of any other options to try first?
    Thanks!

    JohnDoe2009
    I concur with the previous poster that if Disk Utility found no problems running TechTool Pro, Drive Genius or Disk Warrior might get it going. If you don't have any of those you could try
    • Download and install Applejack
    • Restart computer holding down Command + S
    • When Command line comes up type in
    +applejack AUTO+
    Let is run all five functions.
    In terms of Data Recovery
    DataRescue 3
    Virtual Lab
    FileSalvage
    are all excellent tools, and all offer a demo version.
    Dr. Smoke's FAQ Data Recovery offers excellent tips on how to do it.
    Good luck.

  • Lion won't mount Time Machine backup, but...

    My Time Machine back up to an external drive seemed to have failed. It won't mount on Lion long enough to fix the problem. Other times it just locks up.
    I dual boot with Vista and it sees the drive and all the files just fine. Any idea of what I can do to mount it on Lion. I'm tempted to just format it in Vista. Mount it in Lion, if it does at all, then format again for OS X. See if just a corrup files and not a failing hard drive.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Sounds like a problem with the drive itself, but might be corrupted data.  See if you can Repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    If you do that, format it again with Disk Utility.  Among other things, be sure it has the GUID partiion map scheme, not MBR (the Windoze setup), or even a version of GUID set by Windoze.

  • I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data?

    I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data? I used time machine to back-up to a Seagate Go-flex hard drive. I get a message from my iMac that says it doesn't recognize this drive and wants to initialize. Hope someone can help.

    Try connecting the drive to a Windows machine, then ejecting.  If it won't eject properly, restart the Windows machine, and try again.  Then try connecting it to the Mac.

  • External Backup Disk Suddenly Won't Mount...

    Tried to shut down, restart and repair the disk with Disk Utility...but it won't mount. Any suggestions? It's a WD 500GB external backup disk...I use it for Time Machine.
    Thanks!

    The only other thing that I can suggest at this point is to turn Time Machine off and try reseting the partition map scheme +(GUID Partition Table)+ and the format +(Mac OS Extended)+ again to see if it repairs the drive. Unfortunately that will erase all of your previous TM backups, but might get the drive working correctly again. Then if and when you get the drive working correctly go to the Time Machine Preference and reselect the drive to Use for Backup.

  • DMG backup image won't mount

    name-lt.dmg won't mount and says "File too large" as the warning error.  I used Disk Utility to make this compressed image for backup purposes and now I'm afraid I won't be able to open it.  A friend told me to use HexEdit to edit headers on the image.  Does anyone have any advice?  It's a 125gb backup image.  All other images I have made will mount and work fine. 

    The image was taken using my iMac (10.9) connected with a firewire to a macbookpro running 10.7.5

  • 60 GB external Firewire Drive Won't Mount

    I have a 60GB external Firewire Drive that I have been using for a long time. I just turned on the computer and it won;t mount. I opened up the Disk Utility and I see that on the left side it says "57.3 GB Maxtor." I repaired permissions and verify disk. It still won't mount.
    I don't want to have to erase it if possible. There are files I need on that drive. How can I get it to mount so I can grab some files off of it and move it to another drive?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Edwurd,
    What the message is telling you is that Disk Utility and the "underlying task," the Unix utility fsck, can't repair the volume.
    Time for stronger medicine if the data is critical. There are commercial products that work differently and can recover disks when fsck can't. Look at Disk Warrior or Drive Genius. BUT... given that Disk Utility thinks it's a "non HFS volume," I wouldn't be optimistic.
    If the external drive's data is unimportant - e.g., a backup you could rewrite - then see if Disk Utility can repartition and erase the drive. If only the catalog or partition map is bad, this will get you a working drive. But if you can't repartition with Disk Utility, suspect a hardware malfunction and check your warranty.
    Good luck,
    John

  • Time Machine Problems - Won't Launch Automatically, Won't Mount Disk Image

    Hi there,
    I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2.  I've had Time Machine running successfully with a 2TB Time Capsule for some time.  Recently, I reinstalled Parallels VM software and have been having issues with Time Machine ever since.  Initially, I had TM backing up the Virtual Machine, but decided that wasn't a great way to go, so turned it off in the VM configurations pane.
    Since then, however, I have been unable to successfully back up my MacBook.  I notice a few things:
    The Time Machine drive does not mount as it used to.  It does not show up on my desktop.
    When I go into Time Machine Preferences, the drive does not show the usual green disk icon.  The icon is blue and has the stick-figure people on it.
    I can remove the blue disk drive, and re-select the drive.  It stays green for about 30 seconds, then converts to the blue icon.
    I get a number of plist errors in the Time Machine dashboard app.  Here's the latest feed:
    Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
    Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
    Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
    Starting manual backup
    Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/Sean's Time Capsule
    Disk image /Volumes/Sean's Time Capsule/Sean's MacBook.sparsebundle mounted at: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups
    Backing up to /dev/disk2s2: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb
    Backup canceled.
    At this point, I'm a bit stumped.  I've tried deleting the old sparsebundle, I've reset the Time Capsule, and I've come up with no ideas as to how I can get this woring again.  It seems like the property list needs 'something' but can't find the old file or the property list is corrupt or something.  I'm assuming that is why the Time Machine disk image won't mount?
    Thanks for your help - suggestions are welcome!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks. Now External HDD Enclosure Won't Mount. Is there a fix?

    Upgraded to Mavericks.  Now I can't get my external HDD enclosure to mount.  A little about this enclosure, as it's not the usual settup .  I have four 3TB HDDs in a RAID5 settup.  The most unique part is that they are formatted as a Windows NT Filesystem (Tuxera NTFS).  Basically, when I set this up, I had to get a lot of info from a Windows-formatted HDD, but also be able to read/write afterwards. It's worked fine for ~ 1 year, but now that I've upgraded to Mavericks, nothing will mount.  I ran Disk Utility, where I see the HDDs (I've partitioned them into four drives of varying sizes), but they are greyed out.  I tried to mount them, but it says it won't and that I should run First Aid.  So I did...tried to "Repair Disk," but it just gets stuck on "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."  For over an hour it's been on that message.
    So, does anybody out there have a fix?  I've read several similar posts about people having a hard time mounting and, overall, dealing with external HDDs after upgrading to Mavericks.  But nothing seemed to fit my exact circumstances.  Lastly, I should mention that I've used both Firewire and USB connections.  Both resulted in the same.
    Thanks.

    I can't help with specifics for your issue, but some general thoughts:
    The upgrade and the disk problem may be a coincidence. It would help you if you could verify that the drive still works fine on a windows machine. If you run a windows virtual machine or have a windows pc, or a friend does, verify full functioning that way. If it still won't mount on the mac, try to copy/backup it's data onto the windows machine (maybe another external drive connected to it. You could then scrub the disk in windows, leave it unpartitioned, unformatted. Connect it back to the mac and format it as HFS+ (Mac extended journalled) and transfer the data back to it by sharing the windows machine external drive and connecting the two machines with a network cable.
