B580 Not booting (freeze) with attached USB3 3TB Drive

Hi,
I owned some weeks ago a 3TB WD MyBook. Anythingis fine, except I do not disconnect this drive while (re)starting. What i did done:
- check varios BIOS settings (turn of USB Boot, disable USB3 etc.)
- update Bios (now 1.16)

hi B580user,
Just to verify, were you able to get the 3TB WD MyBook drive on another PC?
Looking around, I saw that were numerous firmware updates done for this drive. If you're having problems getting the 3TB WD MyBook detected on other systems too, I would try and update the firmware of the drive first.
- Firmware update v3.2.4.2 (updated 12/19/2013)
- Firmware update v3.2.4.2 release notes
Regards

  • MBP will not boot up with USB devices connected

    I have a late 2010 MBP 15 10.7.2 that will no longer boot up if any USB devices are attached. A dongle, a hub, anything. It goes to the gray screen and stays there. Disconnecting all USB devices the MBP will boot up. Then connecting the USB devices they work. It just will not boot up with anything connected to the USB ports. I have reset PRAM, SMC and fixed disk permissions. Made sure login items are ok, and start up disk is correct. I cant really say when the problem started as it worked fine before, maybe on 10.7.1? Not sure.
    Any suggestions for a fix?

    I re-installed the 10.7.2 combo. It booted up with a non powered usb 4 port hub but it disabled it. Plugging it out then in again and it works. Looks like the USB firmware has changed somehow in 10.7.2, The hub works on PC's at work no problem, and it worked on the MBP without issue previously. Its not just the non powered hub its a powered hub, and other devices.
    Any solutions?

  • Mac mini not booting up with 8GB memory after 10.7.2 update

    My mac mini is not booting up with 8GB of memory after the 10.7.2 update. It just keeps on beeping and flashing the led.
    If I take out the upper DIMM (Bank 1) It boots just fine, and it does so with either one of the 4GB DIMMs in Bank 0, so the DIMMs are fine. It also boots up fine with two 1GB DIMMs installed simultaneously, so the Bank 1 seems to be somehow working as well.
    This trouble started right after the Lion recovery update, meaning the mini has never booted with the full 8GB installed after the update.
    It worked just fine before that, with the full 8GB of memory installed.
    Anyone else having similar problems?
    Cheers, Otto.

    I have upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro and my 2011 Mini Server
    to 8 gig with Corsair RAM and have had no issues
    (CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9).  What brand RAM was used?
    There have been issues in the past with some RAM
    brands.
    Something to try is a PRAM reset with the 8 gig installed.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    Also, make sure the Minis are booting into 64 bit mode.
    Open Applications->Utilities->System Information
    On the left side click the software heading.  There should be a line
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes
    This should be the default for 2010 and 2011, but something could
    have got hosed.

  • TS1367 my laptop will not boot up from the storage hard drive but if i remove it from the laptop and connect it as portable hard drive my laptop boot up normal?

    my laptop will not boot up from the storage hard drive but if i remove it from the laptop and connect it as portable hard drive my laptop boot up normal?

    Do you have a compatible OSX installed on this 'storage' HDD?  If not, it will not boot your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Mac mini will not boot up with two monitors attached

    New Mac mini running OS 10.10.1. I have a LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port, and a Cintiq 21 UX LCD monitor attached to a thunderbolt port.
    It boots up properly with only the first LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port.
    When I leave both monitors connected before starting the computer I get no chime, and a black screen. The light on the front of the Mac mini comes on, but nothing else happens. I have to turn off the Mac mini, unplug the second monitor and then reboot. It always starts up perfectly then. After starting the computer, I plug the second monitor in, and everything is fine.
    It’s kind of a pain in the neck to constantly plug and unplug the second monitor from the back of the Mac mini. Is there anything I’m overlooking?

    Thank you, Illaass! Resetting the SMC solved the problem! I tried that first because I would prefer not to lose any preferences, and also because it was the easiest to try. You must be a genius in addition to being such a good egg!
    (This is the number of smiles I smiled after my Mac mini booted properly with both monitors connected.)

  • Boot freezes with an extra broken logo

    Hello,
    I have an iMac Intel ( 2008 ) and a problem came up so I figured if anybody knew anything about this as we don't have the biggest support in Greece to be honest , to help me.
    I pushed the power button but it gets stuck on the boot screen after the "bong" sound but it shows a second apple logo next to the 'original' one but it is broken as extra pixels.
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/180/18006624-1.jpg
    At one point after many shut downs ( keeping the power button pressed ) it booted normally but after 5 mins of use it gave me the same big 'pixels' on my screen and then the classic black screen asking for a reboot.
    Has anybody seen anything like this before?
    It can't even boot from a CD as it gets stuck on the boot logo always giving the same result at the moment.
    Thanks in advance.
    Constantine.

    iMac Intel 24" 3.02ghz / 4gb mem / nvidia | OS X 10.7.3 ( all updates where done ) | HDD WD Caviar 1TB
    I checked the HDD 2 days before my mac crashed and it was free of errors, and yes I have my backups I'm just worried about the iMac and was trying to search for some advice before I take it to an AppleStore as I am not very fond of them here in Greece.
    My guess was the graphics card as well.. :/
    I tried the safe mode as well and again it does the same thing, it freezes with all those particles and never proceeds to the OS and pretty much after 1 minute it automatically shuts down.
    Thanks for the reply rkaufmann87.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

    I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
    Thank uou for any help,
    Ken

    Target mode?  Is there a second computer involved?  Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
    If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model.  Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version.  For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.

  • Boot freeze with 6600gt on k8t800 neo fis2r in turbo mode

    Hi, thought i would seek a little advice before i decide to just build a new system and burn this one where it stands,
    when i first built my PC i had;
    amd athlon 64 3000+
    msi k8t neo-fis2r mobo
    1gb ddr 400 ram
    2 x 160gb hdd
    dvd & dvd-rw
    550w psu
    then the part i regreted most nvidia fx 5200 128mb agp.
    had everything setup nicely and had my bios set on turbo mode - seemed to make a noticable difference. then i decided to stop being cheap and bought a new gfx card, sparkle 6600gt 128mb agp 8x and at the same time i got a new case which has a 350w - 450w max PSU (arctic cooling Silentium T1). ever since that i cant enable turbo mode in my bios, otherwise it just does memory test and stops without detecting devices. i press del to enter bios setup but it just changes the del: bios to go> bios and does nothing else. so i have to clear cmos and start again
    so my instict is either telling me
    a) gfx card stopping motherboard running in turbo
    b) psu too puny
    which of these would it be likely to be if anyone can help me out. ive rolled my bios back to v1.0 which was used when the turbo mode was fine and the problem is still persisting and ive been through every version inbetween back upto 2.2. the system works fine in fast mode, i would just prefer turbo mode because it did make a significant difference for playing games, boot time, movie editing etc.
    thanks for any help,
    Phyre

    It may well be the Sparkle Vid Card. I have heard a ton of complains of late about them. I am not that familiar with those particular cards or even the brand. You may want to do some checking around... Guru3d may be a great place to start as graphics cards are their primary discussion topics. Also use Google to see what others are saying about them.
    I agree that the 5299's are pretty lame these days for gaming. It's a great card if your primary concern is productivity but todays games can use it but mostly at low res with few features or levels of detail without a huge hit in frame rates.

  • Will not boot up with maverick installed

    MAC PRO WILL NOT BOOT UP AFTER INSTALLING MAVERICK

    I know it can appear like Mavericks is causing an issue, but really what has happened is the installation has uncovered some operating system issues that previously existed. It's typically best to backup your data and perform an Erase & Reinstall before doing an Mac OS X upgrade. This ensure you get a good, clean, stable copy of the OS before moving forward.
    All the same, if you're getting a gray/white screen at startup, try following the steps in this KB article

  • 2013 new Mac Pro will not boot up from and external hard drive

    New 2013 MAC PRO running Yosemite will not not see a bootable external hard drive when starting up using option key?  Same External hard drive will boot up on 2013 Mac Book Pro running Yosemite.

    Reading between tea leaves sometimes leaves some things to imagination.
    You used SuperDuper latest version that was recently upgraded for Yosemite on a laptop running 10.10 (or even 10.9.3+) that is in a X-brand USB3 drive enclosure, not bus powered btw, moved it to the nMP and plugged it into a direct port, not going through a hub (monitors have hubs of course and there is only one real bus+controller on the nMP that ALL USB3 travels through.
    Thunderbolt and self-powered would be nice but they cost a bit more.
    I have read where Carbon Copy Cloner (now v 4.x) worked where others failed. I use to use both but have used CCC since its inception and use back in 10.2.2 forward along with SD! for a few years based on comments here.
    Drivers missing? someone compared system extensions and found the ones needed for say the nMP are not there? how about running a 10.10.1 combo update and see if that changes - we USE to be able to apply updates to a system that we were not booted from, very handy (could update a sparse disk image of a system that way, one created with CCC).
    WD Passports seem popular with laptop users, but they come here to this forum complaining that it doesn't work, disappears off the bus (spins down goes to sleep, acts like a green drive acts).

  • New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

    The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support.  I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7.  After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7.  When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are  found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices.  I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

    Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

  • MBP will not boot-up from Leopard disc/externel drive without getting a K.P

    I have been getting Kernel Panics since updating the system, while I was using Tiger OS X, I have Installed Leopard OS X now thinking it would get rid of the problem but hasn't. Now I cannot boot into the system at all, even using the Leopard DVD/Externel Hardrive. I did take it into an Apple store today and they changed the RAM to see if that was the problem but had no luck, I was told it is proberly to main motherboard and would cost alot to replace. Has anybody got any other suggestions I could do or try? I am losing hope for this MBP.
    All of a sudden it booted up with the retail Leopard disc inside and I started to install it but it came up with an error message half way thourgh installation. Message said Installation could not be completed please check your media and try again.

    I'd suspect errors/bad sectors on the hard drive, insert the Leopard DVD and Boot it up while holding down the 'shift' key (to enter Safe mode) - this can find and fix a lot of errors.

  • Quicksilver G4 will not boot from a cloned firewire external drive.

    Hi all,
    Just as the subject line says.  I know this is a problem for many PPC users.  I simply want to erase the HD so I can sell this Mac.  In order to do that, I need to boot from an external source.  I do not have the original disks that came with this system long ago.  I have Panther and Leopard disks (10.5 is the terminal OS for this non Intel based Mac)... but neither of them will boot this Mac... I've tried.  I've used a WD firewire drive as well as a Maxtor, but no luck.  I've cloned the entire internal drive using Super Duper, with the external HD first formatted to Mac extended format.  The system recognizes both drives and they even appear in the list of 'start up discs' but no matter what I choose or even 'option C' or 'command-option P-R' on start up, will not get this sucker to boot to anything else except the internal drive.  The Mac also has a second internal drive, which was wiped easily.  Is there any clever way I can make this work so I can erase the main drive and prepare the Mac for sale?  I've researched this a lot and for some reason, many of these PPC's are fussy about what type of external drive they will boot to.  My understanding is that Firewire is the only way to go.  Thanks... MIke
