Can't write on external SD card after upgradation

I can't write on my external SD card of my HP slate7 after it was upgraded to KitKat version. It is saying as your Android os is changed you can no longer write on your external SD card. How can I solve this??

Perhaps this article can help explain how Google changed Android KitKat 4.4:

Sorry to post this question before realizing others already did. HOWEVER! Why would Apple make such a cool device like the iPad without the abiity to write to an SD card?

I have the product specifications for you to look at for your HP TouchSmart 310-1126. Unfortunately, it does not seem like you will be able to upgrade the video graphics.

Can't write to external hard drive. I have an NTFS driver.

I have a macbook pro running mavericks and an external hard drive that is NTFS and i can read but i can't write to it. I already have the paragon NTFS driver installed and i know the driver works cos i can use my other NTFS hard drive with no problems. In the "get info" pane under permissions it says i can "only read", but in disk utility under "write status" it says i can read/write. I tried to verify and repair the disk in disk utility and both completed normally with no errors detected.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to deal with this? i would rather not reformat the disk as it has roughly +500GB of work that i have no other place to store temporarily.

Yes, HD are cheap as dirt, buy another HD and format it for your Mac (Mac OSX ext. Journaled)
OR for both PC and Mac in EXFAT format.

Leave it as it is,
$65 for a 1TB HD, or $100 for a 2TB drive. you always need minimum 2 ext. HD for data redundancy protection anyway.

Can't write to external hard drive

I have a MacMini G4 and and iBook G3 both running Tiger. I bought a Verbatim USB 2.0 500 GB external hard drive and reformatted it to HFS+. I can write files from the iBook without any problems. However, from the MacMini, the external drive mounts, I just can't write to it. When I try to change permissions in Get Info, I get error code 195. No luck with Disk Utility or Disk Warrior either. I have a suspicion that the problem lies in the fact that until very recently, the MacMini had only a networked account, now it has two local accounts (the iBook has only ever had 1 local account). How can I fix this without having to reinstall Tiger on the Mini, if at all? Thanks!

Resource Manager Errors (other than I/O)
-195 addRefFailed AddReference failed
So it appears to not be a read/write problem, but either Permissions problem or missing OS components.

Can't write to External HDD connected to AEBS

+This is a repost from the SL Discussion...hopefully someone here can help...+
I am logged in under my account, which is the Administrator Account. I am unable to write to Seagate 1 TB external HDD connected to AEBS base station.
Under "Get Info"->Sharing and Permissions it reads "You have custom Access" and then shows just one account, "everyone" and this is a "Read Only" account. The format of the External Drive is shown as "Appleshare" (actual drive is formatted as NTFS so my Dell PC can read/write, which is functioning perfectly).
I tried to change the "everyone" account to Read and Write but Mac 10.6.3 won't let me because "I don't have the necessary permissions".
So then I tried to add another account (clicking the "+" sign) but it again rejects me because the account "isn't a valid name" although I am using my account name.
I was able to read/write to this drive under Leopard but lost that function when I upgraded to 10.6.3. I can read the files on the drive and copy them to my iMac but I can't copy back to the drive. Is this a Finder problem?
How can I get the permissions changed on this external drive so I can read/write from my Admin account?

Okay, it is formatted as FAT32.
I checked under Airport Utility and there are (2) accounts that have permitted access, Dad (Read/Write) and Mom (Read Only). The drive is not corrupted as I can read/write from the Dell PC without any issue and I can "Read" from my iMac.
When I right click on the drive, "Get Info" and then check "Sharing/Permissions", there is only one account shown "everyone" (all small letters) with "Read" access. This account does not show up under "Airport Utility" so it is an account that Finder assigned.
My other two accounts, that are correctly shown under Airport Utility, are not shown in Finder. It seems like this is a Finder Problem and Finder (under Snow Leopard) won't let me access the drive.
So how can I change the Permissions in Finder? Even if Finder lets me add another account that can read/write, I'll be happy. But it won't let me add any accounts, it simply says "Invalid Account Name".
I'll try the direct hookup to the iMac as a last resort but this drive has all of my photos backed up on it so I don't want to mess around too much with it. I have photos on other drives as well but it is a big pain to reload from the other drives...it is around 300 Gb of photos.

Unable to see files or write to external SD card since 4.3 upgrade

HI. I have an external SD card plugged in to my SIII.
It's been working great for months.
A week or so ago, an upgrade was pushed down to my phone, 4.3 to be exact.
Since then I can't see files on my external SD card.
If I plug a cable into my computer and browse to my phone's external card I can see them on my PC.
I've searched around and backed up my files, unmounted, reboot, remount. Reformat the card, unmount & remount.
No change.
I've formatted the SDcard on a PC and no difference.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
The card is a SanDisk Ultra 64gb microSD card, but it really isn't card specific.
I put my older 16gb card that I used to use and it can't read any files on there either.
The phone DOES see the card and cant report free space, it just can't do anything with it since the last update.
What can I do?
Thanks,
David

After I formatted the card I can copy files via the PC & cable, but they don't show up when viewing from the phone.
If I use an app like Astro File manager (which did show the files correctly, prior to the 4.3 update), it shows the word "empty" for truly empty folders but it just shows a blank empty folder for folders that have a file that I copied in via the PC & cable.
If I try to make a folder in Astro, it looks like I did, but it doesn't show in Astro.
If I look from my PC, it shows the folder that I created on the phone via Astro.
Once again, everything was working great up until the pushed 4.3 update.
The Old card does show up fine on other phones.
I haven't tried the 64gb card on another phone yet, but the card isn't the issue.
As I copy over files to the card via the PC and cable, the phone does reflect the data used/free space correctly.
I see a similar issue someone is having on an S4, but the thread is locked:
https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1016871
Still wondering what I can do. Can I downgrade my S3 OS? to 4.1/4.2?

Can't see my external drive anymore after updating to 10.5.5

Hi! Another problem after updating to 10.5.5: I can't see my external drive anymore. It's a lacie quadra, plugged to my iMac via firewire 800.
Really hope they fix this update really soon...
Any of you knows how much time Apple usually takes to solve upgrade bugs like these we're all experiencing with 10.5.5? Do they do it fast?

Hi Barry, I'll eventually do, but there are other people that have had the same problem right after upgrading to 10.5.5. I really think it's an os x bug, just like the other graphic problems that people are reporting now.
I think Apple should take these reports quite seriously.
Anyway, also think that probably these bugs are confined to iMac intel, as some one else pointed out before in this forum, because some friends of mine upgrading their MacPro, didn't have any trouble.
Bye!

Can't write to external disk drivers

Hi guys
I own a 2TB TC. I've connected two WD hard drivers through usb hub and they are all reformatted to FAT32. I can see them and I can have access to them as well but the problem is I can't write to them and I can't copy any thing to them. Can any one help?

Have you verified and if necessary, repaired the disk(s) using Disk Utility on your Mac?

Can't write to external disk after cloning startup disk to it

After cloning my PowerBook Pro's startup disk to an external Thunderbolt drive, and temporarily using that drive to boot-up, the Thunderbolt drive is locked into Read Only mode. How do I enable it to write again? The INFO pane says the following: System privilege: "Read & Write"; wheel: "Read Only"; everyone: "Read Only". The basis for my cloning was to deal with a very full startup disk that I did a lot of video editing on (very processor intensive). The disk had become fragmented to the point that it couldn't access sectors fast enough for editing, so I cloned it over to a G-Tech Thunderbolt drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner), reformatted the MacBook startup disk, then reverse-cloned the copied files back over from the Thunderbolt, the idea being that they'd be re-written nice 'n neat in unfragmented order into their proper sectors. I then ceased booting-up from Thunderbolt, but now the system seems to think that Thunderbolt is still special in some way like a gossling bonded to a surrogate human mother, and it won't let me write to it. Can anybody help me with this?

Can't write to external hard drive, kills MacBook Pro

I got a SimpleTech SimpleDrive 1TB for an external drive. It's formatted for PC but I was able to format it for Mac with no problem and read and write small files to/from it. But data that is larger than 80-90MB will not work—at that point the progress bar ceases and will not close. I can force-quit Finder but Finder will not reboot and at that point I can only kill the power. The Finder has also hung when opening a folder on this drive. After reboot the drive does not mount and I have to turn its power off and on for it to appear.
I did try to zero out the drive but aborted that after 3 hours. I figured that would have zeroed out anything on the drive but it changed nothing. What should I try next?
Jeremy

Yes, I formatted it as OS Extended (Journaled).
Overnight I let Disk Utility run and zero out the entire drive. It took 10 hours and at the end it then prepared to erase but had another error: Input/Output Error. It now appears the drive has reverted to the factory defaults (MS-DOS (FAT) format, Master Boot Record) and is unusable. I am going to return it.

Z68A-GD80(G3) Can no longer read external hd dock after flashing beta bios

I flashed E7672IMS.J31 Beta Bios because I was on a very old bios that was not compatible with my GTX 970 card I just bought. Flashing the bios fixed my 970 compatibility but in the process made it so my 2 external hd docks no longer worked (at this time on windows 7). self powered usb harddrives still worked though. At this time my sata mode was IDE which I thought might have had to do with it since it doesnt have hotswap. I assumed it was an issue with some drivers I installed after flashing the beta bios and I was due for upgrading/reformatting anyways so I enabled AHCI and hot swap then did a clean install of windows 8.1. The external hard drives still don't read!! I've used multiple different hard drives and different usb ports including usb 2.0. The docks are usb 3.0 and I use them daily to edit photos from my work. Any ideas of things I could try?
My pc:
intel 2500k
16gb Corsair vengeance ram
MSI 970 GTX GPU
Corsair 750w power supply
Z68A-GD80(G3) motherboard
E7672IMS.J31 Beta Bios

Could the issue be that I didn't download the Intel Management Driver after installing the beta bios I flashed? Maybe I could try that first, which one from this list do I use with my pc setup?
thanks for the help!

Try going back to E7672IMS.J20 OFFICIAL. Use the recommended flashing method with provided archive only: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163870.msg1215101#msg1215101

Can I backup my external SD Card(on my Macbook Air) to my Airport/Time Capsule

Just purchased Airport and was successful setting up Time Capsule to back up my Mac Air and Mac desktop....Regarding my Macbook Air, I had to use the external port and keep a 128GB SD card there for my iTunes and iPhoto library to save space...When I try to select it to be excluded in the Time Capsule preferences window, it will not allow me to highlight it...I can see it...I just can't select it..Help?

When I try to select it to be excluded in the Time Capsule preferences window, it will not allow me to highlight it...I can see it...I just can't select it.
This happens when a drive is not formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Perhaps you forgot to format the drive when it was new before you added data?
Time Machine will only back up a drive that is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+.

Can't write to external hard drive set up by Windows

We have a 300gb Maxtor external hard drive. I had set it up using the Windows laptop I use for work.
The Mini that we have can read, but not write to, this external drive. I just went back and set the Security properties to allow Full Control for the Everyone group. That did not work; the drive is still read-only for the Mini.
Additionally, when it's hooked up to the Mini, the hard drive starts spinning for no apparent reason. When it's doing that, you cannot eject the hard drive. It will whir for several minutes; at times, we've had to reboot the Mini to get the thing to stop.
Is there a Mac OS setting somewhere that needs to be changed to allow the Mini to write to the drive?
Why is the drive spinning for no apparent reason? Is there something we can look at to find out what's happening with it?
Any other suggestions for fixing the problem? I'd like to avoid reformatting it, if possible....

Sounds like the drive is formatted in NTFS. Under OSX, your Mac will be able to read, but not write, to an NTFS formatted drive.
If you format as HFS or HFS+, the Mac will be able to readd/write to the disk, but the Windows box will not be able to recognize the disk.
Since it is a 300gb drive, FAT will not work (FAT does not recognize drives that large).
It must be formatted as FAT32.
It can be formatted as such on either the windows box or the Mac.
You can partition the disk, one HFS+, one FAT32, but the windows box still will not be able to recognize the HFS partition, and the Mac will be able to read/write both.
So...for maximum compatibility and cross-platform usage, format the drive as FAT32.
As for as the periodic drive spin, it's possible Spotlight is updating it's index.

Aperture can't write to external drive? Up with what is that?

Hi. I keep getting the following notice:
I have re-booted, repaired permission and disk on both the disk and the partition, and repaired permissions and the Aperture Library. Each time I repair the Library I can process about 90% of the selected files, but that is all. Then re-repair, then do another 90%.
All software up-to-date. The external drive is one of several USB-3 drives I use, via one of two USB-3 hubs. I have never had any problems with any of these drives or hubs. The drive in question has been used continuously for Originals for months.
Any advice? Drive going south? Gremlins arm-wrestling to prepare for Mavericks?
Thanks .

O.K., a short answer. Kirby may not like it to have his trouble shooting thread hijacked:
I want to keep the originals on my machine as well.
Don't worry, exporting images will only write new copies of your images to the designated export folder - originals and versions will stay unchanged in Aperture.
Can you tell me if there is any difference in exporting originals as opposed to exporting versions? You had suggested I export versions.
When you export a version, you will get an image file, that includes all your adjustments. And you can chose from different export presets to determin the size and quality of the exported version.
Exporting the original will give you an exact copy of the file you originally imported.
