Cannot Mount G-Tech Mini

Hi there,
I was copying data from one hard drive to my G-Tech Mini 1TB when the copy procedure froze. I attempted to cancel the transfer, but that did not work. I relaunched Finder, and that cancelled it but the computer would not completely remount Finder. I restarted the computer. My G-Tech Mini was no longer mounting. I can also see a red light through the front screen.
I have attempted to find it in Disk Utility, no dice. I've attempted Disk Warrior, but it did not see the drive.
When I open "About this Mac" and look under FireWire, it says "Unknown Device" and:
GUID:          0x0
Maximum Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
Connection Speed:          Unknown
I think my drive is still under warranty, which is good, and my backup was made SOMEWHAT recently, but I really really would love to get my materials back
rather than re-edit.
Anyone got any bright idears?

Apologies. I'm using a 2011 iMac with OS X 10.6.8

HT201514 Cannot mount G-Tech drive, cannot configure Time MAachine

Not a quetstion, but advice
Suddenly, my G-Tech drive was unmounted and I could not even see it to remount.
Worse, my Time Machine was no longer configured.
After searching umpteen blogs, and found no answer, I had a "Gestalt".
I looked at my threat prevention app. and found that the "Options" had blocked all attachable drives. It must have been "automagically" re-configured with the latest "Upset" (Update).
I unchecked the firewire and USB drives, and presto, it all worked again.
Hope that this helps

Hi Ncat,
I might have had similar problems with yours. Finder stuck at 'Not Responding' while I boot my Macbook Pro with external HDD plugged in, my macbook heats up considerably maybe because it keeps trying to access the external disk. And Finder can only proceed after I unplugged my external hard disk.
So what I did was:
I rebooted my macbook into recovery mode (by holding cmd+R before / during the booting chime
I used the Disk Utility from there (instead of from normal booting)
Then I proceed to with 'Repair Permissions' and 'Repair Disk' for each and every partition of the external harddisk, and also my internal hard disk.
Rebooted after everything's done, and now it seems to work.
I hope that it will work for you

IPod Updater software "cannot mount ipod"

Hmm.. ok so a couple months back my iPod just took a crap on me. I hook it up to my pc and get the apple logo then the whole folder w/ !. Then it goes into the "do not disconnect" thing but then it resets on a continuous cycle. I've tried to hook it up to the updater and restore it but the updater says it cannot mount ipod. So... my question is, do I have to send this thing in to be repaired, and will they even do it?
Thank you,
Justin

I finally called Apple. After going through everything the website says to do with the service tech, she recommended I take the ipod to an Apple Store or send it in for service. I went to the Apple Store today, and the tech there said that something was physically wrong with the drive. Since mine was still under warranty he gave me a new one.
Sorry that I didn't have a better answer

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.

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.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD and then run Disk Utility, it finds my drive, allows me to "repair" and says everything is fine.
When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping error message "errno = 19" and cannot stop it to do anything else.
When I startup from Disk Warrior v4.4, it does not find my internal drive to do any repairs.
When I startup from Tech Tool Pro 6 and run the "computer check" diagnostics, everything passes but the Volume Structure, which fails at "Volume Extents (B-tree)." When I use TTP's "Tools" option to run "volume repair" it will show my internal drive and allow me to click the GO button, but nothing happens and nothing changes.
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 root during Solaris install on SPARCengine ULTRA axi

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.

Cannot mount certain partitions: /dev/ entries do not exist

Hello all. Strange problem here. First I will describe my disk layout. I triple boot Gentoo, Arch, and FreeBSD. My partitions look like this:
/dev/hda = MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive 40GB
hda1 = shared '/boot' partition
hda2 = gentoo '/' partition
hda3 = gentoo '/usr/' partition
hda4 = gentoo '/home' partition
/dev/hdb = SAMSUNG SP0802N, ATA DISK drive 80GB
hdb1 = shared music partition mounted as /home/music on both Gentoo and Arch
hdb2 = shared swap partition
hdb3 = FreeBSD partition
hdb4 = logical Partition
hdb5 = archlinux '/' partition
hdb6 = shared video partition mounted as /home/music/video on both Gentoo and Arch
Now both gentoo and arch use devfs. From gentoo I can see all partitions in the /dev directory and mount accordingly, however, from Arch I cannot mount my gentoo partitions on /dev/hda, and in fact they do not even exist in the /dev directory. Only /dev/hda1 is visible (the shared boot partition which holds all my kernels regardless of distro).
Running fdisk -l /dev/hda from arch gives me this puzzling output:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4111 33021576 55 EZ-Drive
So it would seem that fdisk thinks that /dev/hda1 takes up the entire drive, and is labeled as 'EZ-Drive'?!?!?!?!?!? I can assure you that running the same command from gentoo gives me the correct partitions and disklabels ie: id 83 Linux
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This isn't really a big deal at this point, just an interesting annoyance that I would like to discover the cause of.
TIA

I don't know how it could be that the kernels interpret the partition table differently, and I'm certainly not sure that this is what's going on. That's why I suggested loading Arch with the Gentoo kernel. I wouldn't expect the system to be its true self, but merely satesfy the curiosity by checking whether it would see the right partitions (a.k.a. trouble-shooting).
It shouldn't be a problem to test this, unless your Arch root uses a file system that is not built into your Gentoo kernel. If for instance hdb5 is reiserfs and your 2.4 kernel has that as a module, you're probably out of luck regarding my suggestion. If this is the case, you could also try the Arch 2.4 kernel. It can coexist with your current kernel because the kernel packages for the two trees have different names.
pacman -S kernel
Hope this helps,

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 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:

I have used mounting ISO images, sparce files and so on. No issues.
this suggests its time for a fresh install of windows, backup twice in case of the unthinkable

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

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

Error message in Command line (cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode)

Hello Experts
I'm new in Oracle and trying to connect to my database though SQL command line. After I login as SYS I user I get the message that 'connected to idle instance'. Then I use “STARTUP” to connect to database. Now from my understanding it should mount the database and open it as well. But it does'nt happens.Instead I get the message 'cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode' . I'm not sure why it can't mound the database and what should I do to make it working. Please can somebody show me how to make it working again. Here are the details about my problem
Enter user-name: SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password:
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you so much for both of you. I've checked everything. All looks fine to me and then i tried to connect though SQL and it worked. Now what I've notice that this time I didn't start Enterprise Manager only I started the listner and then start sql it worked. Does this means that I can't use both SQL and EM at a time together?

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

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

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".
