All external Drives stopped mounting after repair disk permissions

My 2.3 GhzPPC G5 10.4.11 was running a bit slow so I ran repair disk permissions and now none of my external drives will mount, can't see them in disk utility either.
Drives work fine on my macbook pro.
I've searched for help but no luck..
Thanks for any advice...

Neil, you really should repair the disk before repairing permissions.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Mini kernel panic after repairing disk permissions

    Repaired disk permissions per others' advice on here and other forums because my mini was running unacceptably slow. This didn't cure the problem so I used the tech tools disk that came with apple care- now, I get a kernel panic upon startup. I'm asked to restart the computer, I do it- and then I'm asked again!
    I called apple and they were defensive and rude. Frankly they didn't seem to care about whether or not I'd have to wipe my hard drive. Needless to say this is not something I want to do.
    It seems important to mention that I had an external hard drive connected to my computer- would this matter?
    Would repairing disk permissions CAUSE problems with my computer?
    When the disk repair program ran it said that there was a volume error- it fixed this error and then told me that the volume was error free.
    What can I do? I'm so frustrated! I love my computer and I really don't want to wipe the hard drive!

    We have all been there and we have all done the same thing, so you are part of the club.
    Apple uses a three number versioning system so you are almost there, but not quite.
    MacOS officially does not exist anymore. However, it wouldn't go over well with the then user base to call their next operating system for their computers NeXTstep as they felt the entire identy of a Mac was its OS or more specifically its look and feel.
    So they called it Mac OS 10 instead, opting for the roman numeral X.
    Mac OS X is pronounced Mac OS Ten, or simply OS Ten
    Now that 10 is out of the way.
    The second numeric position represents significant
    pause
    um yeah, some might argue with Tiger not as much so but significant changes to the OS.
    10.4
    There.. Each significant change was associate with a moniker representing a cat. 10.4 is associated with the Tiger, 10.3 with the Panther, 10.2 with the Jaguar, etc.
    So Tiger is Mac OS 10.4 or simply OS Ten dot Four
    Within each release is a bugfix release which also may contain usability enhancements and security patches.
    10.4.0 - the initial product release, also called a `Dot-Oh` release
    10.4.1 - the first round of bugfixes
    10.4.2 - the second round of bugfixes
    This continues on sequentially until theoretically the bugs are all fixed in the product but in reality means until the next significant release comes out; Leopard, OS 10.5.
    You should always be prepared for the possibility that a bugfix release may contain a security patch that significantly modifies and aspect of the file system that may break a disk utility application. In other words you always have to be vigilant with regards to that class of application.

  • Warning Message after repairing disk permissions

    I received the following warning after running Repair Disk Permissions:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    My computer has been crashing a lot. Apple ran hardware tests and everything appears to be running OK. Could this message hold the key to my problems?

    Probably not, please read this Apple Advice Letter:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    However it would be very beneficial if you provide more information about the circumstances and specifications of your iMac to determine why it's crashing. Also if you are running Activity Monitor to check and see how much FREEE RAM you have and if there are any processes taking up a lot of % CPU.

  • Why isn't Disk Utility clear after "Repair Disk Permissions"?

    2008-11-29 10:00:19 -0800:
    Now everything seems clear.
    My question...
    Why did I initially see:
    2008-11-29 08:43:29 -0800: Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
    2008-11-29 08:48:26 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    and why after restarting should I end up with only
    2008-11-29 09:38:47 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    and after “Clear History” and rerunning Disk Utility why is everything clear until I start using the computer again?
    I’ve had it explained that “Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26” is not meaningful, but I’d like to know WHY it happens. I’d also like to know why “ Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .” initially appears.
    Thank you,

    As a casual "Apple Discussions" user it hadn't occurred to me that if a question had been answered previously, it should never be asked again.
    It's not that. It's because the problem's been beaten to death over the past fourteen months, since Apple shipped Leopard, that most consider it common knowledge, no matter where one's been visiting or how often. Every Apple/Macintosh related website has addressed the never ending issue. Finally, since the forums Help file says:
    *I have a question or issue—how do I search for answers?*
    +It's possible that your question or issue has already been answered by other members so do a search before posting a question. On most Apple Discussions pages, you'll find a Search Discussions box in the upper right corner. Enter a search term (or terms) in the field and press Return. Your results will appear as a list of links to posts below the Search Discussions Content pane.+
    +You can also refine your search by using the options in the Search Discussions Content pane. Click the Search Tips link for help with our search features. You can streamline your results by restricting your search terms by category or forum, specifying a date range, or searching for posts by username. You can also search the User Tips Library.+
    Maybe that should be retitled: *+I have a question or issue—how do I resolve it?+*
    Just out of curiosity, I wonder if any of these exceptional people can figure out my signature.

  • This history look right? After Repairing Disk Permissions WARNINGS exist.

    I just repaired disk permissions on my iMac, does the history look OK? Plenty of WARNINGS at the end of the history. I am not too concerned with the ACL stuff.

  • External drive not mounting after crash

    I had the finder lock up on me and I had to force a restart.
    At the time an external USB2 drive was plugged in. Since the forced restart the external drive is not mounting. It won't mount via USB2 or Firewire. It is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
    Upon booting the computer notifies that it can't be read and asks to initialize, ignore or eject.
    The system profiler sees it. Disk Utility sees it but it won't allow the options to verify or repair to be used.
    Disk warrior, Drive 10, and Disk Rescue won't allow the drive to be fixed unless its mounted. In fact the drive won't even appear as an option in those programs without mounting.
    So what do I have left to try?

    After trial and error and moving the drive around to various enclosures I had Disk Utility open up the options to verify and repair.
    It wouldn't actually fix it or go through the whole process of fixing it but that was enough to let a boot from the Disk Warrior CD see the drive as an option.
    I only recovered about 60% of what was originally on it after DW redid the directory but it was at least something.
    One question though what sort of issues could my boot drive's directory have that would effect the external ones? Is the corruption the fault of the internal drive?
    I ask because although I've been assured that it will work fine I am running a 160G drive in a machine that only sees the first 128GB as the boot drive. I am not 100% positive that won't have some side effects but everyone around here seems to tell me its all good and that I shouldn't worry about that. Its this belief that makes me use the external drive as my torrent media drive since there is so much more reading and writing being done to it.

  • Time Machine Backup on External Drive Stops working after one week

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with the Time machine backup on an external LaCie drive. After e few days, it suddenly locks up, not performing any backup unless I force-restart my computer and switch off the drive.
    *My setup*:
    - iMac Alu 24 with MacOS X 10.5.1 and 3Gb RAM
    - LaCie external drive 320 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> this is the one used for the bakcups, it is left powered on at any time (never switched off)
    - 2 other LaCie external drives 160 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> they are generally switched off
    TimeMachine is setup to its default scenario, backing up automatically on the external 320 Gb.
    *Daily usage* :
    - the iMac is set to boot automatically at 6:45
    - I usually switch it off manualy at the end of the day
    - Screen Saver is set to launch after 5 minutes
    - sleep time for computer is set to 1:30 hour
    - display sleep 15 min
    - hard disk are set to sleep whenever possible
    First symptom : the computer never goes to sleep
    Second symptom : I had the following problem already twice since I installed Leopard, once with the original install and today with the updated 10.5.1 version:
    - automatic backups went fine during the whole day : 7:45 8:45 9:45...
    - then an automatic backup starts but never finishes
    *Console log extract* :

  • USB External Drive not mounting after use with Time Caplule

    I have a 1TB external Lacie hard drive I have been using to store data via connection to my Time Capsule USB port.
    I purchased a new HD to replace the Lacie and would like to use the Lacie as an external drive for my Macbook Pro.
    Issue:
    I erased all files on the Lacie before disconnecting it from the Time Capsule.
    Connected the Lacie to my Macbook Pro via USB port.
    Lacie disk spins, but never mounts - disk image never appears, disk just keeps spinning.
    Ran Disk Utility. Lacie image shows up. Tryed to erase, but got an error that it wont mount.
    Tryed to repare disk, but got the same message.
    This also happens when I try to connect the Lacie to my iMac.
    So, hooked it back up to Time Capsule. Disk shows up just fine.
    What's going on???

    Where does it show up - Finder or System Preferences/Time Capsule?
    Try ejecting the drive, turning it off for awhile, restart the computer, and then restart the drive and plug it in.

  • MyBook External Drive Stopped Mounting

    I recently unplugged my external drive so I could move my laptop. I have done many times before without issue. When I plugged the firewire cable back into the computer, the drive did not mount. I rebooted, then rebooted pressing option + command + p + r, then I unlugged, took out the battery, held down the power for 10 seconds and rebooted. Nothing -- in system profiler, it says unrecognized device under firewire. This has happened before, but rebooting a few times usually solves the problem. Any ideas?

    I spent about an our turning the drive off for five-ten minutes, then rebooting the drive and the computer. Eventually it just showed up again and appears to be working fine. I think this is an apple thing -- I have had the same thing happen with other drives. The computer just stops finding it. I suspect this is why they offer no support for use of external drives. Anyhow, thanks for the help.

  • Keep having to 'Repair Disk permissions'.

    The other day the list was probably 3 times this length, often ending with '...but they are 80'.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Have you run Repair Disk?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Have you checked SMART status?
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD:Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, selectthe first item in the list/your HD mechanism>look at the bottom of the mainwindow next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or somethingmore ominous like “Failing.”
    Have you run background maintenance scripts?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Have you checked in Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a high ammount of CPU?
    Sometimes a process can run amok and use more of the CPU than it should, potentially causing a slowdown and/or heat issues and/or other issues. To check on this, first use your Mac as you normally would, the longer the better (checking this right after starting up may not show you anything). After you’ve used your Mac for awhile (again, the longer the better), go to Applications > Utilities > open Activity Monitor > in the top menu at right, select All Processes in the drop downmenu > click on the column heading titled % CPU (this will update continuously, showing the percentage each process is using) > toward the bottom left of the window, click on CPU (this will show % Idle, which will also tell you how much of the CPU is being used). 
    Have you done an SMC Reset?

    And 4GB used, 2GB free btw...
    By chance is it referring to RAM usage?

    Have you used FontBook to disable some of your fonts? If, in the process, you disable a font the system that an Apple app needs, those apps will not launch but third-party ones will. I suffered this on my desktop machine. I allowed FontBook to "resolve duplicates" and it disabled off some fonts that it shouldn't have. Took a week to figure out what happened.
    If you have played with FontBook, you may wish to review this excellent font management article:

  • Why do I keep having to repair disk permissions to print (wifi) to epson px720?

    And is there anything I can do to sort this problem out?
    Prints OK for a while after repairing disk permissions and reseting printers but after a while, unpredictably, send off and doesn't print - no error messages - just keeps spooling in print monitor.

    So just reset printers doesn't do it?
    Is this what you're doing?

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • External Hard Drives not Mounting after Yosemite Upgrade

    I've just upgraded to Yosemite, and none of my external (USB) hard drives are mounting (they don't even appear in Disk Utility).
    Any ideas?

    MacBook Pro 2009. 250 SD, HD 8Gb Ram.
    I have had this issue for about a year...with no resolve!
    Apple and the User community have not been able to solve issue.
    I have had to work around it since the Oct 2013 Mavericks upgrade which “killed” (rendered unmountable) both my USB and Optical drives.
    Hundreds of replies and remedies have not corrected my issue. Hundreds of replies stating that if there was a global issue it would of been fixed by Apple, not true. And dismissive replies stating that there must be a hardware issue are very discouraging.
    So now, hoping to help the voiceless masses, I'm forced to share my experience.
    As I stated, I have been having the issue since one of the Mavericks upgrades. The upgrade rendered externally attached drives unmountable...They are all seen in Disk Utility. They are just not mountable. Regardless of the flavor of the disk format, either Mac or PC, they are found, seen and refuse to mount. I can see them using Terminal commands, I can see them in System Report. I can reset all the memory I want...turn it off, reset, sleep, turn on, restart...NOPE...And the optical drive takes in disks but ejects them after an attempted mounting. Keep in mind, there are no physical issues with either USB or optical drives.
    So now...I have had enough and need to correct the issue or buy a new equipment - starting to get into software development and need working equipment!!!
    For the past month, I have been visiting the Apple store to assist in my issues...Back Story: I'm an IT Field Tech for the largest department store in the country and I have the good fortune of dropping in the Apple store anytime I want...The Geniuses booted the MB with a bootable image of Mavericks, and the USB and Optical drives WORKED fine...So, after I had stumped the Geniuses with my problems, we agreed that we would attempt to format and re-image the MacBook...Fine, do it, it's backed-up, how you ask? - Via my wireless My Book Live 3T drive, which only took 24 hours to backup, AKA Time Machine!
    Great news! The re-image of Mavericks proved to work! I WAS able to mount external drives attached! How is that possible? Don't know, don't care! It just worked! So happy!
    But wait! I then took the laptop home. Connected to my WiFi, to update Mavericks to the latest version...Good so far! Then it came time for a Time Machine restore, AKA Migration Assistance restore...So, I proceeded to migrate data back to my MB via wireless drive, good so far, booted in Migration Assistant, and I chose to restore everything except the network files, thinking that may be an issue...22 Hours later, the MB migrated without issue...all apps and personal files had migrated! YAY!
    BUT NOW THE USB AND OPTICAL DRIVES FAILED TO MOUNT!!!
    Great now what? I know, I will just re-image and start again...WAIT, I don't have a Mavericks Install Disk, no problem, I will just create a bootable USB drive with the Mavericks Install Image I downloaded onto my MB this month...NO YOU CANNOT, because you have no use of the USB drives!...And, Apple stopped making OS CDs back in 2009...Oh, and that wouldn't of done me any good, because the optical dive was unusable, anyway!
    SO, back to the Apple store with my head hanging! At this point, Yosemite came out the previous Thursday, so no more Mavericks images, great! Perhaps the new OS will alleviate my nightmare!!!!...So, they re-imaged my Mac with Mavericks, drives worked again! SO, I took my MB home and attempted to download the new OS, Yosemite...which only took 2 days due to the amount of traffic on Apple's servers!...Anyway, Yosemite finally installed without out issue! Drives still worked! And so, I shutdown and restarted the system...No issues, USB and optical drives worked beautifully! Yay, Yosemite!...Fixed all my troubles!!!...Not so fast...
    And so, I, again, attempted to do a Time Machine restore, via WiFi, this time it took 24 hours to restore...AND it worked! All apps and personal files transferred without issue, So happy! Put the laptop in Sleep and left it home and went to work! Came back from work, tested the system without issues. Rebooted...USB and Optical drive are NOT MOUNTABLE!
    So now, what is the file that the restore keeps pushing to my MB that kills the USB and optical drives?
    I would just stop restoring from a Time Machine backup, but the only way to get into the TM image is to use Migration Assistant. I cannot view the date in time of the image in TM's Star Wars time line. So, I'm forced to back up everything from the image in Migration Assistance. Not sure that it being an encrypted image has anything to do with it...
    ...Regardless, what is being “restored” to the MB that continues to configure the OS in such a way that makes all external drives unmountable...keep in mind, my external keyboard, hub and mouse are usable via USB.
