External Harddrive not detected after 10.4.10

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro with an external Maxtor harddrive. Up until yesterday I never had a problem connecting it, but after then update today I can't get it to connect. It connects via USB.
If someone can tell me where to look I can provide technical data so perhaps I can get this solved. Anyone?

As a practice I always remove external drives from my computer prior to software update and this particular drive that was causing me trouble was put away, so I know that's not the problem.
I spent about an hour on the phone with AppleCare and got all the way up to the senior most rep but we didn't have any success. The rep was very responsive and seemed truly interested in figuring out the cause of the problem. He made extensive notes and documented the problem and said that he was sending it off to the "engineering team" to investigate further and hopefully would have more information for me early next week.
If you have AppleCare I would STRONGLY encourage you to call as well and report your problem. If nothing else it will allow them to gain more documentation on the types of hard drives and systems impacted and the more people who call in will encourage them to release a patch or update.
As a side note, although it doesn't resolve the problem, I was able to mount my drive by physically removing the drive from the USB 2.0 case and putting it in a FireWire case instead. It's not a solution and I would like to get both drives and cases up and running, but it did allow me access to my data. Though I'm sure not everyone has the ability to swap out a drive case so it's not a practical solution for most.

External harddrive not detected?

I have an Avastor HDX 500GB firewire external that was given to me used. It was working fine for about a month until I gave it to someone with a brand new MacBook Pro (I have a G5 PowerPC) and they moved data in and out of the device.
It was working fine on the Pro the night it was returned to me, but the next morning my computer wouldn't detect it. System Profiler is telling me its there, but won't let me access any files and doesn't show up on the desktop or in Finder.
I've read about Disk Utility, but I'd really like to avoid wiping the drive.

Welcome to Discussions - it may be that your friend changed the formatting of the drive, and it now is unreadable by a PPC Mac.
Can you get your friend to mount your drive on his/her computer, so that your data can be moved to that computer, you can then reformat the drive in Mac OS extended and then move your data back to the reformatted drive?

Since upgrading from 8.10 to 10 my S440 no longer detects external monitor. Has anyone else encounterred this and have you found a solution?

Hi: See if performing the procedure in Resolution Step 5 at the link below resolves the problem. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314060

External monitor not detected on Thinkpad W530 intel-virtual-output

I'm having problems with connecting my ThinkPad W530 to external monitors since a few months. I'm using NVIDIA Optimus and bumblebee/optirun since the VGA and Mini DisplayPort connectors are only wired to the NVIDIA card om this laptop. For a long time I have executed:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
Then I have started the Screens GUI tool in Gnome to setup the placement of the external screen but now the external screen is not present in the GUI tool and xrandr gives me:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 59.94
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
If I select "Discrete mode" and select startup screen as VGA in the BIOS the BIOS and the Grub screens shows on the external monitor but the screen locks on the screen that shows that the system is booting with the linux-ck kernel. This has never worked for me in Arch Linux so that is no surprise. In Ubuntu everything everything worked fine the last time I tried.
How can I debug this? Why is the external screen not detected any more?

Thanks, I am not sure exactly how to read the logs but I cannot find anything that is obviously wrong
Below is my log with an external screen connected via Mini DisplayPort and after running:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
a few times, no more logs seem to be added when I connect/disconnect the monitor or when I run the above two commands more times.

External hd not recognized after 8.1 upgrade

my 3 tb seagate external is not being recognized after 8.1 upgrade. plugged in bothe sides of usb ports still no response. lights up when plugged but thats about it. Please help, thanks.

Hi
Is there any specific error message when you plug in your external HDD?
May I know when you upgrade OS to 8.1, this external HDD still attached?
So before your upgrade your OS, this external HDD working fine?
Did you try to attached your external HDD to another PC or laptop?
did you check inside device manager whether your external HDD detected?
may I know the details your external HDD spec and PC spec?
Please provide as much as information that related to this issue

T61 and the Intel Graphics Card error - external monitor not detected

T61 with Vista 32 bit, Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset and an Advanced Mini Dock.
I am trying to use the DVI port and an external monitor. The driver does not detect the external monitor.
Uninstalling the Intel driver the Generic profile will work on the external monitor, but is overly fuzzy, how do I get the T61 to recognize my external monitor with the right drivers?
I am currently running the Intel Driver Ver. - 7.14.10.1329, which provides the message under Multiple Display:
Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display.
Of course my 22" monitor is connected. That is the frustrating part. I have also uninstalled Presentation Director, just in case, but then re-installed after it seemed that wasn't the problem.
There is a newer driver from Intel but it is not Lenovo approved yet I guess. Though I highly doubt this is the problem. What can I do?
~~
I did post a thread on the thinkpads.com too, but so far haven't had any luck.

Well the new dock came but didn't fix the problem. Now my nice new T61 is packed up in a depot box, waiting for DHL to come pick it up.
dkaufman1 -- I guess we do have different problems. If I set my T61 to display to the DVI port in the bios I get a blank screens on both the DVI connectd monitor and the laptop screen until the OS boots when I have the laptop in the dock. The only way I can see the bios screen to set it back to the ThinkPad LCD setting is to boot it disconnected from the dock.
I really hope that this problem is resolved, as I really like the T61 otherwise. I was even using it with the VGA cable connected to my 22" monitor, but it was pretty hard to take. I'm now back to my old desktop hooked up to the same monitor via DVI and it is quite the relief, even if it isn't as zippy as the T61.

Old Library on External Harddrive not recognised on new PC for iTunes

Hi, I've just bought a new pc after my old one gave up one me. I have my iTunes library saved to an external harddrive and I've changed the Library name to that of my harddrive location in Prefences>General>Library Name. I also changed The Preferences Advanced tab>iTunes Music folder location to point to the external harddrive location where my music files are and no music appears in my library. All I want is my library off my ipod to be replicated back into the itunes library as i've a lot of history here. Can it be done?

I have all of my iTunes media on an external HD that I access wirelessly. Been running it like this for a long time off my MacBook Pro without a problem.
Yesterday I got a new iMac and followed the steps to connect my new iMac's iTunes to the remote library. When I go to Prefs > Advanced > Change iTunes Media Folder Location, I can see the folder with my iTunes content, but the content does not show up in iTunes after I select the folder.
on the iMac, launch iTunes with the options key pressed. this window will appear
select choose and navigate to the iTunes library file on your external HD.
any joy ?

PX1268E 400GB External HD not detected

hi all
I purchased a Toshiba 400GB External USB Hard Drive from DABS it shipped without a CD Rom. I've plugged the USB cable into the computer but it has not detected the drive, even after re-starts or trying alternative USB slots. Not even displayed in Device Manager. I probably need this CD to complete the instal yes ? Can I download the installation file from here ?
Any info/advice gratefully received.
cheers

Hi
Im not sure if this external HDD needs an additional installation CD but everything should be shipped together with the HDD box!!!
In my knowledge such HDD needs external power supply. The cable should be delivered also together with this HDD.
So take your HDD manual and check all shipped parts! If something is missing contact you HDD dealer!
Ps; the CD cannot be downloaded from the net!

External HD not detected in MacBook but iBook

Hi All:
I have below systems with me >
* iBook G4 running Tiger with 1GB memory
* Previous MacBook running Tiger with 2GB memory
* New MacBook running Leopard with 4GB memory
* New iMac running Leopard with 4GB memory
I have a 100GB external HD connected to my iBook for 2 years now, via USB. And my Previous MacBook used to read and access data from the same HD too. I dunno if I have changed any setting or any software update technically forbid the access from any other Mac systems except iBook, which I bought with.
In iBook, the external HD works perfectly. I eject it, connect it to any of my MacBook now, the light on the device is turned on but nothing moves in Finder. There's no icon, unlike in iBook where a USB HD icon appears below Macintosh HD. I tried to partition and erase everything, remain Mac OS (Journaled) format, but no luck. It's properly detected and accessible by iBook but not any others.
Have I possible changed anything without knowing it ? Can someone share with me what to do next ? The external HD works well but I dun understand why none of other Mac systems recognise it, except the original iBook. Thank you.

Hi:
I am using a 100GB from Samsung. Should have mentioned earlier. It's USB-powered. I never use it with any adapter. I just plug it into iBook G4 and in less than 2 seconds time, drive pops up in Finder perfectly.
However with MacBook running either Leopard or Tiger, the light will be on and you hear it spinning. I tried to plug in adapter last night, still no luck.
I re-partitioned to GUID or Master Boot or Apple, either Mac Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS, none of them works.
Then, last night I tried to boot-camp Windows XP and to my surprise, it was detected without any problem ! Oh...... So now I think the problem is not in USB port, not in the power adapter (which I never use), not in the format, it's in Tiger or Leopard for MacBook.
Tiger I use on iBook G4 is 10.4.11 (no problem at all)
Tiger I use on MacBook is also 10.4.11 (not detected but light is on)
Leopard I use on MacBook is 10.5.2 (not detected but light is on)
I spent so much time transfer data from external HD to iBook then to iPod then to MacBook. I just dun understand. Thank you for all your posts. ^_^

Can somebody please please help me! External harddrive not readable due to dumb mistake!

What is quite possibly one of the dumbest decisions i ever made in my life, I disconnected my external harddrive from my imac & plugged it into a laptop that has Windows 7 to trasfer footage from there to my imac more quicker. I clciked an option that allowed me to assign a letter to it to it can be read by the laptop (however, I would of needed to format the harddrive which I thankfully didn't). Please understand that erasing the entire harddrive is NOT an option! I am a filmmaker & I have so many years of work on there, including videos, music, & documents.
When the computer starts up I get hit with "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"! I tried Disk Utiity & even though it recognizes the drive's existence, I cannot repair or mount...nor can I access any of the files! I also tried Diskwarrior & got "directory cannot be rebuilt, the file system is unsupported".
If theres anything you guys can do to help me, please do so. My life was on that harddrive & losing it would be the most devistating thing I could ever experience. A movie I finished not too long ago...is also on that harddrive. I'll send you a full video completely thanking you for your help!

Call a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers. Their services are very expensive, but without backups, you have no choice but to pay whatever they ask.

External HD not detected

Hi, my dog ate the original power cable that came with Touro Desk 2TB (external HD). I had to buy another power cable, but this time was a generic. The external HD is turning on fine, but iMac is not detecting it. I hope it's because of the new power cable. I only can see some of the external HD information on System Information:
Touro Desk 3.0:
Product ID:          0x1015
Vendor ID:          0x4971
Version:           0.00

Is current available and required mA confirming my thoughts? Please help! My life depends on this. Thanks in advance!!

System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)

Now that that thing is fixed, another problem rises...
I formatted the HD in a HFS+ partition and wanted to use the other half of the HD as an NTFS partition for my PC.
So I used the Disk Utility to create a NTFS-3G partition, but that partition didn't appear on my PC, so I wanted to format that partition to an NTFS partition, but I kept getting an error: Not enough disk space on the device to complete the partitioning. (I translated the error from Dutch).
Tha strange thing is that the new NTFS-3G partition is completely empty.

External Hdd not detected

Hi guys,
I've got this issue where my Macbook Air cannot detect my external hdd (not showing up on disk utility), where as my Mac Mini can. I assume it's a software issue. Both are running OSX Mavericks (Latest edition) and there is nothing wrong with my USB port in the Air (detects my mouse, flash drive etc.).
The hdds' LED no longer flashes when plugged in the Air but functions fine when plugged in the Mac Mini.
Is there any manual reset command (through Terminal) or setting in the Macbook Air without having to factory reset?
Thanks in advance for your help!

If the hard drive is bus powered (it doesn't have an independent power supply) the MBA may not be supplying enough power to the drive. This isn't an uncommon problem. I have a cheap external at work with this problem which I solved by plugging it into a powered USB hub instead of directly into the computer. Had that not worked I'd have tried finding an external power supply for the drive - or junking the enclosure.
