An external hard drive has suddenly decided to show all filenames in Kanji!

After installing NTFS driver by Paragon, all filenames now appear as if in Kanji (Japanese characters) !
Any idea how to correct this ?
Mac G4 PowerBook , Leopard 10.5.8
Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.5

I see that was also the comment by the Paragon support team on the wildersecurity link given by Tom above.
(Paragon support is hard to find!)
The trouble is that Paragon do not identify the Intel hardware as a minimum requirement and version 9.0 of their software worked fine for the past 18 months on my machine, it was only when I had to reinstall it, I used version 9.5 and got the problem.
I will now see if I can find a download for version 9.0 somewhere.

  • My external hard drive has suddenly stopped working and the light's not flashing

    Hello everyone.
    I have an external hard drive that I've been using for the past year. It's a Porsche Design. No on/off button, just a light that flashes white when it's plugged in. The other day I found that the lead had been bent and the hard drive no longer worked when plugged in, so I bought another identical lead, brand new but the hard drive is simply not showing up. The light's not flashing, it's not showing up in my disk utility, it's nowhere.
    Does anyone have any idea on what may be the problem and if there's a way of troubleshooting
    Thanks
    Tom

    MBP = MacBook Pro.
    The enclosure is the case in which an external HDD is mounted in.  This is an example:
    If you have access to another external HDD, take out the existing HDD, install the 'questionable' HDD and connect it to the MBP.  If it does not show in Disk Utility, the HDD is dead.  If it does show in disk utility, then there is a flaw in the connections (bad enclosure or cable).
    Ciao.

  • After trying to change permissions on my computer so others on my network can access files, my external Hard Drive has a lock on it and I can't access files. I've tried repairing permissions, logging in under another Administrator account, using Terminal

    After trying to change permissions on my computer so others on my network can grab files, my external Hard Drive has a lock on it and I can't access files. I've tried repairing permissions, logging in under another Administrator account, using Terminal to fix the problem, downloaded BatChmod but nothing works… Any other suggestions? I have an Imac running OS10.6.8.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

    My external hard drive is suddenly locked. It doesn't unlock through 'get information' as I'm restricted to read only.

    The drive has malfunctioned and corrupted itself. If that has ever happened before, or if it ever happens again, replace the drive. You may want to consider replacing it anyway for the safety of your data.
    If you choose to keep using the problem drive, launch Disk Utility, select the volume, and run Repair Disk. If the volume can't be repaired, you'll have to erase it and start over. Don't do that unless you have at least two complete backups.

  • One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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.)

  • My external hard drive has disappeared

    My external hard drive has disappeared from the 'open file' window in photoshop CS6. It's working fine and appears in other applications such as bridge and lightroom. How do I get it back? I'm running a Mac on OS X.

    You may have accidentally dragged the drive out of the Devices list in the sidebar.
    In a Finder window with visible sidebar, do Shift+Cmd+G to get the Go To Folder dialog. Enter
    /volumes
    then click OK.
    You'll see all your mounted volumes in the Finder window. Drag the required one to the Devices list in the sidebar.

  • External Hard Drive has failed!! How do I get a copy of my Photos off Apple

    My Western Digital external hards drive has failed. None of the data can be recovered. I basically held my music & photo collection. Most off my music is still on my iMac so no problem there. However, I has moved my entire photo collection onto the External Hard Drive. The only way I can recover it is to copy the photos that I (fortunately) copied onto my Apple TV. The question is how Do I do this?
    There must be some whizzy piece of software out there that can do the job?

  • How can I find out which mac format my external hard drive has

    I have a PD LaCie drive.  I had formatted it about a month ago, but now reading several posts, it appears that the best format is mac OS extended (journaled).  I am not sure if that is the one that I had originally chosen.  How do I find out which format my external hard drive has?
    Thanks.

    Select it on the desktop or in the Finder's sidebar and choose Get Info from the File menu. If it doesn't show up in either location, check the settings in the General and Sidebar tabs of the Finder's preferences.

  • I was trying to move my itunes to an external hard drive and I have now lost all music not purchased with itunes

    I was trying to move my music to an external hard drive but now I have lost all music that was not purchased with itunes. I never hit delete so its still somewhere on my imac. How do I find it?

    Do a Spotlight search or do a logical search along folders that make sense such as looking in the music folder first.  Moving a library correctly should not result in any loss, and I can't think of any way to move a library and lost just a select grouping of files.  How were you trying to effect this?

  • My iTunes appears to be installed on my laptop (25%) and external hard drive (75%). To get it all in 1 place is it simply a copy-paste exercise for the folders?

    Most probably, you have a 'private'-folder = part of an AVCHD-structure on your root-level of that drive.
    Put it back into its folder (or any folder) - done.
    Don't rip AVCHD-folders apart!

  • My external hard drive has stopped working on my MacBook Pro

    Hi guys,
    So my hard drive, which was working earlier today, no longer registers when I plug it into my Mac. It flashes once and then stops, and it does not appear anywhere on my laptop. It still works in other laptops so I know it is not dead and other USB drives etc still register on my laptop.
    I have read through the other discussions but nothing quite fits my situation. If anyone has any sort of information or advice that may help, I would very much appreciate it! Thank you.

    Basically my external hard drive would not eject so i force quit it and the hard drive does not come up at all anywhere on my mac pro OS X version 10.9.4 and it isn't visible in disk utilities no and it doesn't say format either and i have tried it on a windows computer it does not show on their either. the format is Fatdos i think so i can use it on windows and mac and i cant see anything in system reports and yes it is connect by a USB. also it isn't making any noises either

  • External Hard drive has disappeared from fcpx

    Hey guys,
    I know this question comes up a lot so I'm suprised to say I've failed to find any fixes on other threads. Many people having the same issue say that the drive shows up temporarily in the events and project source windows but then disapear, this is not the case for me it just doesn't show up at all. I've put 90% of my fcp projects and events onto one external hard drive which is working fine with everything but fcp, it even recognises it if i want to import from the drive. It has been working fine up until now which is weird as I've not changed anything on it recently, the only thing I've changed is I used a client's drive to do the latest edit, which worked fine!
    Someone must have found a solution to this problem by now, it's causing me a lot of trouble as I've got deadlines to meet and I'm being put out by what seems to be a ridiculous little bug, surely apple would have got onto a fix for this by now?? In the mean time all and any suggestions welcome!

    Have you used it successfully with FCP X before? What content has changed in the drive?
    I am assuming you checked all the usual things, but still it is worth taking a look again:
    1) Is it formatted as Mac OS extended?
    2) Did you add any folder titled something that may be thought of as a camera (folders like "AVCHD", "Private", "DCIM", "Video", ....)
    3) Are the folders called exactly "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" and located at the ROOT of the drive?
    It seems like you know all this, but still there may have been something you missed.

  • My external hard drive is suddenly not recognized.

    I have a thunderbolt enabled 1.5 Terabyte Seagate FreeAgent Go Drive. It was used as a simply external hard drive and then I added it to be used as a time machine location. After the first initial backup, it suddenly became no longer recognizeable. It does not apear in the finder, disk utility, or in the terminal when I ask for list of the Volumes. The drive light is on, I can hear the disk spinning, and it warms up as normal after being plugged in to the computer for a period of time. Still, I am unable to recognize the drive in any way.
    Ideally, I would like to save the files if possible. If not possible, I'm happy to reformat the disk but this is not possible at this time with the drive being unrecognized by any means I am aware of.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I am using 2.3 GHZ i7 Retina MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM. I'm on 10.9.1.

    Yes, exactly. It's very strange. I've never had this happen. Drives fail but then don't apear in the DiskUtility app. This drive is "there" but I cannot seem to preform any action on it. This is the type of response received (in Log) I get whenever I attempt any action:
