USB Issues? Cannot mount?

No idea what is going on. I haven't updated anything on the computer recently, it just stopped working one day when I tried to upload stuff from my camera.
USB mouse works fine. I've tried all the ports and they still work fine. Iphone and Ipad also mount fine. BUT, when I try to mount a camera, nothing works. The light comes on the camera, but nothing actually mounts. I've tried this with a few cameras including a D40, Canon G9, and a Go Pro Hero. I've also tried using different cables. In addition to this, I tried using an SD card reader. This also will not work. It works in my sisters mac so I know that it's compatible with Mac. I've tried various SD Cards and all the ports. When I plug the SD card reader in the light on the reader itself comes on. Nothing mounts and it's impossible to get any photos/videos on from SD Card reader and camera. Any ideas?
Like I said, my mouse and Ipad/Iphone/Ipod all mount fine.

Hi askdefj
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Go to: Application and open Image Capture, then connect up your camera and see if Image Capture recognizes it. If so then select the Camera's icon in the list and direct it to open and download the photos into iPhoto or your preferred photo software..
Also see > http://www.macgasm.net/2010/05/07/image-capture-free-import-tool-on-mac-os-x/
If you have installed Canon's photo software that came with the camera make sure the version is compatible with Snow Leopard, if not totally uninstall it and go to Canon's web site for further assistance.
Note: Not all camera's or there formatted cards will mount on the desktop, they should however open your photo software of choice if everything is working properly.

  • Cannot mount any firewire/USB external drive after software update 10.5.4

    After the last software update on 10.5.4 it did not complete the installation, and get stuck at the last step of running installation script for hours. So I have to restart the computer, and it restarted fine. Then I use Disk Utility to check my hard disk, and discovered some file system inconsistency error, so I repaired it (in target disk mode by another Mac). After it is repaired, the file system passed with no error.
    But ever since then, I cannot mount any external firewire drive or USB drive. I cannot use Time Machine to backup my disk. I think my firewire and USB ports are fine because I can restart my iMac in target mode and connect to my MacBook via firewire, so the hardwire ports are functional, except that it seems 10.5.4 cannot detect or mount any external drive after the failed software update.
    Does anyone encounter similar problem? How can I fix it? I have my disk backed up by TimeMachine but I cannot restore it if it won't let me mount my TimeMachine disk. Is there any other way other than completely reinstall 10.5 from scratch?

    first, you should try reinstalling 10.5.4. download the [combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054com boupdate.html] and run it. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can use full system restore from TM to go back to a time before the troubles started. to do that boot from the leopard install dvd, once past the language screen go to the Utilities menu at the top and choose "restore from backup".

  • Cannot  mount USB disk in SIngle-user mode (solaris 10)

    Hi all ,
    I need some help please :
    I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
    in Single-user mode , i started volume management daemon :
    #/etc/init.d/volgmt start
    #volcheck
    but i'm still not able to mount it.
    I tried to mount manually:
    #mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have this error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) , dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
    My system recognizes the USB device though in single-user mode:
    This is an output of #iostat -En
    c2t0d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
    Vendor: BUFFALO Product: ClipDrive Revision: 2.00 Serial No:
    Size:0.07GB <65339392 bytes>
    Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
    Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

    Hi ,
    thanks for your advice. My problem is resolved.
    The USB drive was actually a FAT filesystem.
    so I did # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint and everything went fine
    I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in
    muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user
    mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
    in Single-user mode , i started volume management
    daemon :
    /etc/init.d/volgmt start
    #volcheck
    but i'm still not able to mount it.It probably requires other items to be started
    first.
    I tried to mount manually:
    #mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have
    this
    error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) ,
    dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
    Looks like it's assuming UFS. If this is a pcfs
    filesystem, give it the type on the mount line.
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpointYeah, this was the right command, I had to specify option < -F pcfs >.
    but I read somethere on this forum i had to specify :c as the drive for FAT at the end of c2t0d0p0 , so the full command was:
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint

  • Cannot mount external USB drive

    During a recent update I remember pacman asking about replacing some package with another package to handle disk mounting.  I think the added package was "gnome-volume-manager" or "gnome-disk-utility" (or both).  I didn't see any postings describing problems with doing this, so went ahead and allowed the change.  Now it's a few days later and I find I cannot mount an external USB hard drive anymore.  It has an entry in fstab, and although I have tried mutiple edits of the device to associate the drive with, nothing works. 
    The disk used to associate with /dev/sdb1.  Now this device no longer exists.  Here is what has happened to my /dev/sd* entries:
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk    8,  0 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk    8,  3 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda3
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk    8,  1 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda1
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk    8,  2 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda2
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk    8,  4 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda4
    brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 16 2009-11-04 13:00 /dev/sdb
    Trying to force association with "/dev/sdb"  "/dev/sda5" (or some other number not in use) or "sdb1" (or 2,3,4, whatever)  just yields "special device ... does not exist".
    Does anybody know how to deal with this?
    Does anybody know what package(s) I replaced when the update in question took place?  I think I'd like to reverse whatever happened.
    And on another note, I think another gnome-based package also recently replaced a package relating to printing.  Yesterday I discovered I have printing problems too:
    At first there were no printers found.  Although cups is supposed to start according to rc.conf, cupsd was not running.  I started it manually and then all the printers showed up again, though I cannot print duplex (again, worked fine before).  What is going on with these gnome packages?!?  Anyone know which package(s) I need to remove (and then what to put back) to make printing work like it used to also?
    thanks much.

    oddly, fdisk -l shows nothing, even for disks which are mounted (eg. /dev/sda4).  when I insert a standard USB thumb drive, the following show up properly:
    brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 32 2009-11-05 10:50 /dev/sdc
    brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 33 2009-11-05 10:50 /dev/sdc1
    and I am able to mount and use the drive as usual.
    The external drive I've been struggling with has xfs for filesystem type.  After using the thumb drive, /dev/sdb showed up spontaneously, but no /dev/sdb1.  attempting to mount gives:
    mount: /dev/sdb is not a valid block device 
    or
    mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
    depending on which device is specified in fstab.
    I am thinking that either a) my ability to mount xfs filesystems has somehow been hosed, or b) there is something wrong with drive, which must have spontaneously failed very recently (it is less than 1 yr old, but this happens from time to time).
    If the drive is okay, any ideas about how mounting xfs filesystems could have been broken by recent upgrades?
    btw, the fstab entry (which worked fine until a couple days ago) is:  /dev/sdb1 /mnt/external_1 xfs rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0

  • USB thumb drive mounting issues in Lion?

    Hi all,
    I just installed Lion on my mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro a couple of days ago.  All seemed to be going great until I tried to use my USB thumb drives.  I have four of these (3 Sandisk and 1 Imation), and none will mount.  When I go into Disk Utility I can see them, but when I try to mount them manually the response is "Mount Failed" and some text regarding running Disk First Aid.  However, even when I repair the volume, it still won't mount.  This happens with all four drives,   and I used them all without incident a few days ago when I still had Snow Leopard installed. They are all formatted for FAT32.  I've seen a few scattered messages about USB and NTFS mounting issues, but it appears to be an isolated problem.  Anybody else having this issue?  If so, are there any workarounds?  I'd hate to have to revert back to Snow Leopard just to use my thumb drives.

    Try to use the disk utility an format one of your Thumb Drive, and see if it can mount.

  • 10.9: cannot mount westerndigital drive usb3 external, but in 10.8 yes

    please why is my text shown on white background? can i change this?
    i could not mount my 2 external wd drives (mypassport 2,5" 2TB)
    (USB3.0) since install of 10.9 on my 2 brand new macs. (imac 27" i5 late 2013 and mbair i7 mid 2013)
    before, with 10.8 it worked fine!
    i thought the wd drive is faulty, so i got a new one by warranty, and sent the "old" back. it took only 5 days to get the swap by wd.
    i could not mount the new drive either under 10.9
    but today i installed techtool pro 7.0.2, did nothing but a reboot and after that, i plugged it into my imac with 10.9, it mounted correctly on my imac, the first time ever! and showed a techtool symbol as drive symbol instead of the orange colored usb symbol.
    appearantly techtool pro 7.0.2 installed something into 10.9 which helps the system mount discs?
    - i never did lock the drive with the wd security app
    - before that, i tried to remove all wd related stuff and uninstalled every single wd app and driver, still no mount !
    - before that, apple disctools under 10.9 did not show the drives in the left column, as no other harddisc app did. (drive genius)
    - i can mount both drives on the old mbair with 10.8, my wife´s mac
    - wd drive utilites would show the disc, but not mount, if i tried to format it, it showed an error after 1min: cannot format disc,
    as it cannot be mounted. (or so..)
    - now, after install of techtool pro 7.0.2, when i plug the drive into my imac, it is mounted correctly, but there is
    always another volume mounted by default "wd drive unlock volume" which says "your wd drive is not locked, so you can not unlock it)
    weird?
    i still cannot mount the wd drive on my new macbook air with 10.9,
    etre check lists as difference:
    imac:
    Kernel Extensions:
    com.wdc.driver.USB.64.10.9          (1.0.1 - SDK 10.9) (today mount possible for the first time since weeks)
    macbook air:
    no wd driver at all (and no mount possible)
    any idea?
    thanks

    I have a Gen 2 connected right now, it most definitely uses UMS. I have a Gen 4 at home that also uses UMS. I've got to assume your Gen 3 would as well.
    Does it go to the "USB Drive Mode" screen when you plug it in?
    Edit: Do remember having an issue one time where it would not go into USB mode. Rebooting the Kindle fixed it. On my Gen 2, you would go to the Home screen, then hit menu and settings, hit menu again and there's an option for "Restart".

  • [solved] cannot boot from dd usb and cannot install 64 with unetbootin

    hi,
    been trying to install arch for almost 24 hours now. i just cannot manage to setup USBs to boot from.
    first i was using unetbootin, but when the device not found error came up i tried using the methods recommended in the wiki. however, my hp elitebook 2540p cannot boot from the usb created using dd or imagewriter. so i went back to unetbootin and figured out the error was that the syslinux.cfg file needed to have ../../ replaced by archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=KINGSTON. now however, i cannot seem to figure out how to install a 64 bit system. when i run pacstrap all packages have i686 at the end, which i assume means its the 32 bit one.
    help
    EDIT: ok i have now used 3 different USB sticks and run
    sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
    on them. plugging them into the 2540p the laptop just wont boot. it wont get past the first hp screen, where i normally press esc to enter the menu so i can choose boot options. the usb just blinks and nothing happens. this same problem happens with imagewriter in windows.

    i wrote exactly
    sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
    as mentioned in the edit above, the computer wont get past the hp screen where one gets the option to press the esc key... the usb just blinks and nothing happens...
    EDIT:
    no the usb was not mounted...
    the image was checked with both sha1sum and md5sum...
    EDIT2:
    ok so i think i am in... i reformatted the usb with fat filesystem, and then went through the second instructions from the wiki, ie installing "Without overwriting the USB stick"... But i am still wondering why i couldnt just do the normal dd method. Is it that the hp bios cannot read certain filesystems?

    Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.
    Problem started when I used Tech Tool Pro 6 to "de-fragment volume". Had to cancel that process before it finished because I ran out of time. Thereafter, when I startup my machine normally, I get the gray Apple logo at first, but it changes to a prohibited symbol (circle with a slash thru it) and hangs.
    When I startup holding the Option key, I can see my internal drive, but I get the same results as above.
    When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD, it does not find my internal drive as possible destination.

    I have a Time Machine backup on an external USB drive, but for as long as the internal drive doesn't mount, I can't use the backup to restore.

    It's a false report and should be ignored.
    I would not rely on TT as I've already said earlier even before Grant posted similar advice.
    I really think the Rigid Disk Block may be corrupted. This holds the partition map and could prevent a volume from being unmounted. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix that without repartitioning the drive which will remove everything. So, before going down this road I hope you have backups or can make a backup.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.
    5. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Cannot Mount Any ISO in Windows 8.1 Pro

    I cannot mount any ISO images on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine.  I have tried the "Mount" under right-click as well as Powershell with the same results. From the UI, I get a simple message "Sorry there was a problem mounting the file."
    while from Powershell I get an HResult that from searching seems to be rather generic.
    I have followed the idea about upper filter and lower filter.  I have made sure that the ISO is not "sparse".  I made sure that ISO's are associated with Windows Explorer. I have tried a number of ISO's all from either TechNet or MSDN
    with the same results.  ProcMon doesn't really offer anything useful as the number of entries is overwhelming to try to limit to just mounting an image.
    I read several posts where drive letters were an issue, but no guidance was given regarding what drive letter the virtual drive preferred.
    I can mount the same ISO files on another Windows 8.1 Pro machine, so it isn't the ISO itself.
    Any ideas? I have spent the entire day working on this problem and I really need some help.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    I was struggling with this too. I found that the problem is a 'sparse' attribute that gets added by the Akamai downloader (known bug).  To fix just copy the ISO (and the VHD) files to another folder this removes the (P).  I found the answer at:

    subject pretty much says it all.  Using an HP Sleekbook 15, it tells me to make recovery disk.  I opt for the USB drive option and buy a new Sandisk Cruze Glide.  Plugged it in.  Started Recovery program to make disk.  Program tells me to insert the USB drive or plugin my DVD burner.  I check the file explorer and find the USB drive is mounted as Local Drive E:.  No amount of inserting and removal will trigger the program to continue.
    Doc read on SanDisk forum implied this is a windows 8 compatibility issue where Win 8 requires new USB drives that meet Win 8 compatibility to mount as Local devices.
    I saw here that the USB drive MUST be a removable device inorder to be made bootable. 
    Help! this is inconsistant and negates the whole reason for using removable media if it can't be made to be seen as a boot recovery drive. 
    I need a solution, can those who know please advise.

    Not all USB 3.0 is Windows 8 compatible. It will have the compability logo on the back or front of the package.
    I have run across several interesting articles that mention Windows 8 can create the Recovery Drive with I assume any flash drive.

  • Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

    Hi Experts,
    We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
    "If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
    Best Regards

    Hi Tom,
    have a look at this link:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
    Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
    "If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.
    Best regards,
    Denis

  • ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

    Hello,
    I am working with an Oracle VM Template: Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 WebCenter (x86 32-bit). In this template exists an Oracle database (version: 10.2.0.3.0), I am trying to do something operation (ie create a new user, query a system template, etc) but I can't because I have ORA-01102 error.

    Then I connect to DB:

    ORACLE instance shutdown
    +sqlplus> startup {mount}+

    So, I have checked listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and they are OK, so I don't know why I can't access to the DB.
    Any idea/suggestion is welcome!
    Thank you in advance and regards,

    Resetting ...
    PS: I have recently reset the NVRAM on this machine not sure if there are any env settings I should have setup in OBP (I reset HOST ID and MAC-ADDRESS).

    disk@0,0:a is slice/partition 0
    disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
    I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
    In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.
