Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)

Final cut x won't recognize new external hard drive

Final cut x recognizes five other external hard drives except my new one. I bought the same brand as the last two. Every program on my mac recognizes it except Final cut x. I do not have the most recent Final Cut X, but don't see why that would matter. I have a year long project that I need to finish and can't afford an issue on a conversion.
Any ideas?

I installed it three different times with the mac installer. I don't see anything that says video on it. The only things listed though are the ones that came with the hard drive. I appreciate your time.

LR 5 does not recognize my external hard drive. It has recognized this drive in the past. No help at any Adobe site.

My external HD contains photos I have worked on in the past.
Additionally, I have added photos to LR5 directly onto my Mac HD. (38
photos added when working in the absence of my external HD)
Presently, in the Library mode, the Le Cie external HD is not seen in the
upper left hand corner "Source" location.
The only way to "see" the La Cie HD and its photos is in the "Import" mode.
These photos have previously been imported.
I wish to use the La Cie HD as my source in the Library mode and proceed to
the Develop mode.
In other words, work on my previously imported, previously worked on
photos, now on the La Cie.

Send to Final Cut Pro in Color off an external Hard Drive, causes Color to Crash

Okay, so I'm having some Color issues guys...
I'm color correcting a feature right now, and just completed the CC with Color. I did the entire color correct on an internal hard drive on a Mac Pro. My client wanted to take a look at the CC on a different machine, so I transferred all of the FCP files, Color Projects, footage, etc. (the ENTIRE directory from my machine) onto an external hard drive....
...When I opened the color project from the external drive on his machine, all of my media was gone, so of course I reconnected the media (directly from the source, the same source files I edited with in FCP), and everything was fine. My grades were there, and everything looked great....
....I rendered my Color sequence and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and color crashed on me. It continued to do this....
....I went back to my machine and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and everything worked just fine. What went wrong with the data transfer? Is that the reason Color keeps crashing? Is it because I relinked the footage in Color to the original source files? It doesn't make sense to me. All of the data from the original drive was moved to an external and relinked.
I'm pretty new to Color so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Copy the original project and media to the external drive using Media Manager. It will maintain the links.

My imac does not recognize an external hard drive

I have bought an USB external drive but my Imac does not recognize it,
the external hard drive does not appear in the desktop neither disk utilities.
characteristics of the disk
toshiba, 1TB, USB 3.0
thanks

The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

My MacBook pro does not see my external hard drive

I have an external hard drive La Cie (Porsche 250 gb).
Once I disconected it incorrectly.
Since that time it doesen't work
More specifically when I try to work with the hard drive the following message appears:
'Eject; Initialize or ignore'
I also tried to verify the disk with 'Disk Utility' but it doesn't work
Does someone know how I could access to the disk without formatting it?
Thank you
Lorenzo

I assume that mean your can "see" the external from DU? Normally, if DU can see the disk but can't repair it, you'll need something stronger like DiskWarrior. DW's strength is in recovering and rebuilding directories, the cause of most drive problems.

Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro. I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive. When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine. So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did). Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all. First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive? It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

My hard drive is now connected. But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one. Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

My macbook does not recognize my external hard drive

I have a brand new external drive which I have already formatted in FAT32 and previously used in my MBP with no issues at all. From a couple of days ago though it simply ceased to appear on my Desktop, Finder or Disk Utility. It is, however, recognized in the System Profiler or System Configuration when I click on the USB port tab. No physical damaged has been applied to the HD, and the light turns on normally, making a perfectly normal noise. As I said, it used to run just fine on my MBP, and even on other Mac computers and PC's.
I took it to a store with Apple technical support, they plugged it into one of the store's Macbooks and, surprise surprise, it magically appeared and worked perfectly. They even tried it on a Windows PC and ran just fine. Came back home, turned my computer on, connected it and the problem persists....
Any ideas?... Can you help me?
My specs are:
15'' Macbook Pro 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz processor and 8GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.8 fully updated
Western Digital Hard Drive - WE Elements SE Portable WDBPCK0010BBK-01

Did you get a solution for this issue ? I have the same HD which works fine on two other Mac Book pros (Snow leopard and mountain Lion) but does not work on a brand new mac book pro with Mavericks

Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
HELP.
Jada.

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive. The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data. Is there any way to resolve this?

WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

Time Machine does not start after external hard drive is connected

These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
Also bear in mind that:
1. restoring data over icloud takes time
2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine.

Satellite A100 does not recognize new CD/DVD drive

I purchased a new CD/DVD drive for my four year old Toshiba Satellite A-100 as the old one went crazy and did not want to work.
Unfortunately I bought a Toshiba Portege A100 DVD/ CD-RW Combo Drive which is not exactly what I had before hopping that it will work anyway.
Unfortunately I got surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all :/..
It seems to work and the light is flashing so I believe that it is not broken.
I just plugged it in as that's the way I was told to do it.
Do I have to download drivers to make it run?
Will it work on my laptop or is it a "newer" CD drive which will not cooperate with my laptop?
I would appreciate any help. Thx

Hi
I think I agree with Jimi. For me it sounds like that your CD/DVD drive isnt compatible with the notebook. Note: Not all drives are compatible to all notebooks.
Normally the best option would be if you check the user manual before you buy a CD/DVD drive. On the first pages you can find a list of compatibles drives they were pretested from Toshiba in this notebook. So these drives should definitively work.
Alternative you can contact the ASP as Jimi said. They also sell compatible drives.
And by the way, here you can search for the nearest ASP:

MBP does not recognise Lacie external Hard drive

hi,
I have a couple of 4-5 year old lacie 500 gig ext hard drives which now do not show up when plugged into the mac Book pro 2.8 intel duo core. I have used them only a couple of months ago no problems.
thank you

Older hard drive partitioning schemes will not show up on newer Mac OS systems. One file will show up stating "where did all my files go" or the equivalent. Of course the drive must be mounted first and sometimes a third party utility like disk warrior or drive genius must be used. To start up from any new external hard drive in system 10 or above the GUID partition scheme must be employed. If you will never boot from your external drives you can format as Mac Os extended (journaled) without checking the GUID box. Hope this helps as well.

Final Cut Pro does not export

I'm having problems exporting with Final Cut Pro. When I go to the share menu, export movie simply does nothing, and if I try to export directly to vimeo or apple devices, it gives me this error: com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1. I checked in Applications and I have compressor, and if I open it, it works just fine. Already disabled the app nap in both final cut and compressor and it solved nothing.

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.
