Had operational Goflex - plugged in USB WD MyBook, cannot boot & no IP
Hello Archers!
Situation;
Arch Linux Seagate Goflex Home (SG-GFH) was fully operational but now not getting IP address after plugging in USB Western Digital My Book Essentials (USB-WD-MBE) and restarting.
Environment;
1 NetGear WND3700 v2 router.
1 Laptop computer running Ubuntu Linux 12.04 .
1 Seagate GoFlex Home (SG-GFH) with Arch Linux) connected directly to router.
1 USB Western Digital My Book Esstentials (USB-WD-MBE)
Events;
Recently installed Arch Linux on SG-GFH.
Setup 3 partitions - 1st partition for system, 2nd for swap and 3rd for data.
Create mount point for 3rd partition.
Setup NFS.
Installed some additional packages, Webmin, etc.
Everything seemed to be working fine.
Connected USB-WD-MBE to laptop.
Used Filezilla to successfully copy 150 GBs of data from laptop with USB-WD-MBE to the SG-GFH. Transfer rate was very slow.
To see if I could get better transfer speed I plugged in the USB-WD-MBE into the USB port on the SG-GFH.
I verified that the SG-GFH was seeing the USB-WD-MBE (/dev/sdc). I did not setup any mount points or modify fstab, etc.
I restarted the SG-GFH with the USB-WD-MBE plugged in and now not getting IP address.
So, I shutdown everything and powered up again, still no ip.
Then, I disconnected the USB-WD-MBE and powered up, still no ip.
I shutdown everything again and pulled the disk from the SG-GFH.
I placed a bootable USB (SanDisz Cruiser) into USP port on SG-GFH.
Upon restart, I could see that the router assigned 192.168.1.2 to the device named "ALARM".
I can ping successfully 192.168.1.2 *** BUT *** I cannot ssh into it "Connection refused".
$ ssh -v [email protected]
OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.2 [192.168.1.2] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.2 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: Connection refused
Ran port scan (Network Tools) nothing returned.
So what can I do. Is it possible to get it back?
I am not sure if the USB-WD-MBE had anything to do with this.
I cannot ssh in and not even sure if I can do a complete re-install.
Any assistance much appreciated!

Frustrated but determined, I decided to try one more time with Arch Linux. I went ahead and *** re-created *** another bootable USB with Arch Linux on it and this time the SG-GFH booted up with IP and I can ssh into it! Something must have happened to my other USB with Arch Linux on it. With the original bootable USB/Arch Linux that I created I could get an IP address but *** could not ssh (connection refused) ***, weird!!!
After booting up with the new bootable USB/Arch Linux, I placed the SATA drive in the craddle and mounted the partitions on sdb and they all (sdb1 - system, sdb2 - swap, sdb3 - large partition for data) appear normal.
THE PROBLEM
I want to be able to boot like before.
I want to boot using Arch Linux with the SATA drive in the craddle. I do not want to boot with the USB/Flash/Arch Linux.
How can I accomplish this?
REVIEW
Currently, the boot flag is set on the existing sdb1 partiton. But, if I remove the bootable USB/Arch Linux and starting with the SATA drive in the craddle (SATA now becomes sda1) is the same as it was before, have a green light but no IP.
If I use the bootable USB/Arch Linux I get IP, can ssh and see the existing partitons on the SATA drive.
Any tips greatly appreciated!

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)
Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents. -
When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?
Here's what I did:
1. I synced my phone to iTunes and under the music tab, I selected sync only checked playlists. I made sure I had none of my playlists selected.
2. After syncing I ejected the phone, and checked my music app. There now was no music at all on my phone.
3. Synced it again to iTunes and synced music how I typically do. When it was finished, I checked for the unwanted song, and it was gone.
Maybe this will work for you as well. -
Cannot see my plugged in USB audio device (Schiit Loki DAC)
I can not see my plugged in USB audio device (Schiit Loki DAC). Can anyone help?
According to the manufacturer, Loki does not need any driver to work with Mac. Funny thing is, I tried it on an old Macbook runing OS X Version 10.4.6 and it worked! Schiit Loki showed up in both Sound and Midi settings. I then took the Loki to the local Apple Store and tried it on their new Macbook Air (same as mine running OS X 10.9.1 and it failed again. The Macbook Air just could not see my device at all.
Talked with one of their technical experts and he just told me to get a driver from the manufacturer, he wasn't very helpful. I am about to give up: convinced that Loki simply will not work with Macbook Air for some reason. If anyone had an experience that showed otherwise, I would be very happy to know. Thanks for helping. -
System hangs when any device is plugged into usb port
Proccessor: AMD 64 3200+
Motherboard: MSI RS480M2
OS: Windows XP (Home Version)
Primary Hard Drive: Maxtor 6L160M0
Secondary Hard Drive (Data Sorage): WDC WD400BB-00HEA0
Most of the posts on this site are over my head so keep responses simple.
I upgraded this computer myself about 3 months ago with the above listed new proccessor and motherboard. Everything had been working fine until a couple of days ago the computer hung while surfing the internet. Reboot attempt was unsuccessfull. Windows would hang everytime while loading. My primary hard drive was about 4 years old and wanting to upgrade to a larger drive anyway I installed the above listed Maxtor hard drive yesterday thinking it might solve the problem. It looked like it was solving the problem until I started plugging in USB devices. If I plug in my Epson USB printer or my USB jump drive, the computer hangs immediately. If I plug in my Microsoft Joystick or CH rudder pedals, it gives me a message that an unknown device is plugged in and that the device has failed. It appears the that hard drive replacement actually did nothing to change the problem. I had not thought to unplug USB devices as a solution to the problem initially. Once I plug in my printer or jump drive the computer is doing exactly what it was doing before.
I am pretty convinced there has been a failure on the motherboard. To have everything working fine for 3 months and suddenly without any software changes it stops working. Then, after reloading all the software again to still have the same exact problem. I think that pretty much eliminates software as an issue and it also eliminates the hard drive as a problem.
I did have a problem finding my motherboard's CD but I downloaded the system drivers from the MSI website plus I installed Live Update 3 and installed everything it recommended including a new BIOS. I also loaded the SATA RAID files from the floppy which I did have here (even though I am not using the SATA RAID feature). I feel confident I got everything installed now and still not working. Everything else works perfectly as long as I do not plug anything into USB ports.Quote from: DaSoundman on 31-January-06, 12:47:11
I have to say that using this forum is not very intuitive for me. It's hard to even figure out how to post a message.
Anyway, we can close this out. I took my computer in and had a diagnosis run on it. It turns out the USB portion of the motherboard has failed and they are replacing it now.
To answer the question though. I had removed both the old hard drives when I initially installed the new MAXTOR and still had the problem and I did make sure they were jumpered as slaves before I connected them back up later.
Thanks for you help. -
have an apple TV 1st generation - it froze downloading a trailer and had to be unplugged. Since then I cannot access the apple tv menu. When I run diagnostics it says it is operating properly but will not factory restore. What can I try?
Apologies, I was looking at the wrong schematic for the Apple TV 1. There isn't a button. So lets try this instead...
Remove the power cord and wait 20 seconds.
Plug it back in and let it boot (Give it 10 minutes, it's being tempremental)
Try and navigate to the the advanced menu and do a factory restore
If that doesn't work then if you are using the white remote hold down the menu button for six seconds and release this should bring up a hidden menu which will allow you to access the advanced configuration settings.
Again, if this fails there isn't much to do than tap it with a hammer to see if that fixes it (hard to believe how many times that actually works. (No responsibility taken if it breaks!, but at least you'd have a good reason to buy Apple TV 3) -
My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.External HDD won't work.

my iphone I fell to the ground yesterday, from a height of approximately 1 meter. after this I trailed off, now only turns on when I plug the usb but the apple appears and just turn off and turn back, there is nothing more that I recommend doing?
With that behavior you need to take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for an out-of-warranty replacement. In the US that is $269 for the iPhone 5.

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had it set up so that I manually sync and manage my music. Twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it had erased everything on my ipod. All the music on my itunes was still in my library, but all the other music was lost. I understand that I need to go back to the other libraries I got that music from, but how do I make sure that my ipod doesn't keep syncing and erasing itself? Also, now every five minutes a message will pop up on my itunes saying that it cannot sync because of an unknown error and then it has the number 13014. I have no idea what that is about. Does anyone else go through this? How do I fix it?
Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

I have an airport extreme which doesn't come with a straight audio jack on it like the express does. Can I get a converter to go from the dual speaker plugs to usb on the extreme?
Sorry, but no. The only Apple router with an audio output jack is the AirPort Express.

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.
Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.
