Ejecting thunderbolt drive crashes iMac
Hello!
Hoping someone can help me with this issue. I use a LaCie thunderbolt drive (connected via thunderbolt) to keep video editing projects on, the drive functions just fine on startup and while its running, however, upon ejecting the drive my iMac crashes. When i connect the drive via USB3 the drive & my computer function normally & I can eject the drive. This is my only thunderbolt drive and the only computer I can test this on, but is something wrong with my thunderbolt I/O? Or is there a weird software issue that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance.

Best case scenario is that you may just need to update a driver or firmware for the drive.
I had an old DVD player from Lacie that didn't work until I updated the firmware.
Check out their web site and download anything relevant.
Also, make sure you haven't got both Thunderbolt and USB3 cables plugged in at the
same time. The old Lacie drives only liked *ALL* Firewire or *ALL* USB serially
connected devices.
Next you should probably eliminate hardware problems one by one. Try using a different
cable, a different port and a different drive if you can get hold of / borrow one.
If all that fails or you have taken it as far as you can, contact the re-seller to see if they
can test the drive at their facilities or Lacie.

Hello everyone,
I have a (2014) 5K iMac.
I'm running an "OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual" hard drive running two drives running in Independent mode.
This enclosure has 1x USB3 and 2x Thunderbolt ports (one extra for daisy-chaining).
I have two 6TB drives in this enclosure which run perfectly in OSX under thunderbolt.
In bootcamp the two drives only work with the USB connection when using thunderbolt ONLY the first drive is shown.
I need to use Thunderbolt because all my USB ports are already used.
I am running Windows 8.1 installed using Bootcamp Assistant.
I have had this problem since getting my iMac at launch but now I'm already using too many USB ports including some HUBS.
I have done many web searches, I cannot seem to find someone else with the same problem. I have also noticed the new 5K iMac fixed many of the older problems of Thunderbolt with Bootcamp.
Hopefully there is something I can do to resolve this?
Thank you for your time.While the enclosure supports daisy-chaining, I'm not using that feature.
The enclosure with two drives inside is connected directly to my mac using the supplied thunderbolt cable.
I'd also like to ask if anyone uses an enclosure that supports 2 or more drives with thunderbolt on a Mac using Windows 8?
If it works for anyone and they can see all the drives that would mean the issue relies with me or my configuration rather than the entire mac ecosystem.
I have a feeling I had seen someone else with my problem in my earlier Google searches 6 months ago. But now I cannot find anything, not sure if I'm using the correct search terms or it was a false memory on my part.
Anyways, thank you for your response -
IMac crashes when powering off external Thunderbolt drive
Hi,
I have an external LaCie d2 USB 3.0 drive that is connect to my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011, 3,1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB RAM) through Thunderbolt. Whenever I power off the drive by pushing the power button (yes I did verify: all partitions have been ejected correctly before in the Finder and verified in Disk Utility), the iMac crashes. It starts up again, displays a screen stating the computer was not shut down properly and then immediately restarts. After that it boots up fine.
This started occurring after having installed 10.10.2 Beta. I did file a report with Apple. As this was beta software I decided to completely reinstall the iMac from scratch (a complete fresh install, just imported my documents manually after) and everything was working fine again (10.10.1). Boom, after having updated 10.10.2 yesterday the problem is back.
I did manage to find a workaround: when I connect the drive through a UBS cable it works fine. Conclusion: this seems to be caused by a Thunderbolt related update in 10.10.2.
Question: is any one else with an external Thunderbolt drive experiencing this and has perhaps found a fix?
Thanks,
Kurt

System model name: iMac12,2Same issue:
- 4TB LaCie d2 Thunderbolt & USB3.0 drive (model # 9000303)
- iMac (27’’ mid-2011), Thunderbolt firmware version 25,1 and Port Micro firmware version 2.1.3 (as seen in System Information)
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Unmounting LaCie d2 disk partitions is OK: the drive spins down and goes to sleep without problem. However when I take the power off (with the small switch at the rear of the unit), the iMac experiences a kernel panic.
This issue did not occur with Yosemite 10.10.1, and does not occur either with another LaCie drive (8TB LaCie 2big Thunderbolt drive, model # 9000246). So the issue is specific to OS X 10.10.2, and only certain models of drive(s).
We need a fix from Apple - the Operating System should be rock-solid in any circumstances.
Curiously, OS X does not write a kernel panic log with every occurrence. It’s only after the 3rd or 4th kernel panic that it would actually produce this log:

External Thunderbolt Drives Eject Randomly and Name Changes to Blank
I Have two external thunderbolt drives connected to the trash can mac pro ... sometimes they eject randomly with one drive renaming itself to blank ...
Anyone ?Aloha,
It was a long week. Here is an update.
Had the opportunity to go to the Apple Store yesterday and purchase new thunderbolt cables, and hooked everything up this morning.
I disconnected the Seagate drive from the sled, and brushed the contacts.
The Seagate hard drive did not boot on my iMac and Disk Utility could not see it. That said, when booted to my wife's iMac, Disk Utility could see the drive, but I could not verify or repair it. The data from my wife's iMac is attached.
Also, I tried to run Data Rescue 4. It would not see the drive. I do have Disk Warrior, if that is a reasonable option to try.
Additionally, the LaCie (now connected to my iMac with a new thunderbolt cable) has not yet been ejected. The computer has gone to sleep several times and I have awakened it.
I very much appreciate your thoughts and time, And I look forward to your thoughts, To include any experience in getting the data off of the Seagate. It contains seven years worth of photographs, which I would hate to lose. I also got the message about redundant backups. There may be some of the backup in Crash Plan.

My G RAID thunderbolt drive mounted just fine onto my iMac this morning. I copied some files from another drive onto the RAID drive, ejected it, and worked on another project for a few hours. When I went to mount the RAID drive again so I could work on the project associated with the drive (I'm a freelance video editor) it would not mount. I've tried everything. It boots up perfectly fine, the drive seems to have no hardware problems. It shows up on Disk Utility and in System Information but is listed as not mounted. I've verified it on Disk Utility and it tells me everything with the drive is fine. I've tried all the various restarting my iMac, ejecting and reconnecting the drive, shutting down the whole system and starting it back up, relaunching Finder, and nothing works. Starting to panic because this is a client's drive, I have no idea what the issue is, it worked perfectly fine only hours ago, nothing happened to it in the meantime, and I fear continuously connecting and ejecting it because I don't know what the state is with the data and if this is only going to further aggravate the problem. I've been up and down Apple and g-raid forums and can't get a straight answer anywhere. I need to know that the data is safe, the drive is undamaged, and how to get it to mount on my iMac. Can anyone out there help me with this??
welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

My hard drive crashed on my Imac 24" 2009, I installed a new hard drive 2TB and a SSD drive 240 GB and removed the optical drive.
What external DVD can I get to work with the IMac? The Apple super drive is not compatible.Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

Is it possible to daisy chain a thunderbolt drive between 2 imacs?
is it possible to daisy chain a thunderbolt drive between 2 imacs?
You can connect two thunderbolt harddrives to one computer, but you cannot connect two computers to one harddrive. That would result in a data signal conflict.
Hope this helps -
My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?
The iMac comes up with a ? in a folder, even after starting with Option/Command/R keys pressed.
Please help.Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
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. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion. -
Finder crashes when ejecting external drive
Hi have had my Macbook Pro (i5 early 2011) a month now and its crashed about 8-9 times, mostly it happens when trying to eject my external hard drive, the drive won't eject, so I tried a relaunch on finder, then finder disappears completely although everything else continues to work, I can access the Dock and utilities, Finder doesn't show up in Activity monitor. I have no choice but to do a hard restart. I thought it was the external drive as I had it partioned to MS-DOS and exfat but I just did a format and now its HFS with an exfat partition. Anyone any ideas? is it my Macbook, Lion or the drive you think?
I have the same issue by the sounds of it.
I am on clean install number three and all goes well, updates, move pics and music from external and reinstall all applications from fresh but when I complete a backup of the machine t an external drive, Finder seems to crash at random poionts or when thte backups try to eject the drive. I am at the end of my teather!

2012 27" iMac(late) won't boot to Thunderbolt Drive
Got a new 2012 27" iMac and I can't get it to boot to my Thunderbolt Drive. I can use my 2011 iMac and 2011 MBP and it boots to the Thunderbolt Drive just fine. Thunderbolt drive is a Little Big Disk SSD drive.
After start up I get a chime, white screen then a cycle with a line through it then about 30 seconds later the iMac turns off. Any Ideas?Just an additional note for future reference: in general, Macs have never been able to boot from a system older than what they came with with a few exceptions: machines that were made right around the time a new OS is released would mostly still be able to boot into the previous OS even though they may come loaded with the new version. In this particular case, you are also adding a different build = special OS build version, which complicates things further.
Check for updates on this article - it doesn't even have the new iMacs yet:

Checking further, this article includes the new 21.5":

New iMac 27" and cannot get it to mount a new LaCie thunderbolt drive. Any suggestions?
My new iMac 27" finally arrived and seemed to be working fine,until today when I received, from Apple Store, a LaCie d2, 3TB drive. Connected the Thunderbolt cables and powered it up. Rapidly flashing blue light on the drive but it does not mount on the desktop and does not show in the system report. Could be a bad drive or.........
All help appreciated.Can you see the drive in the System Report or Disk Utility?
One thing I read was that you need to do is to shut down, and unplug everything, your iMac, the Thunderbolt drive, everything. Then reconnect, and start up the iMac. Seems to cure everything.
If not, return the drive to the Apple store, and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix it, then return the iMac within the 14 day no questions asked return period and get a new one. You'll have to move fast. -
My hard drive crashed and I need system discs for 20" iMac early 2006

Hi
You can get Snow Leopard start up disc via Amazon, if you want to chance it ( link below for Amazon page. ) Personally I would phone the Apple help line to see if they can provide you with a set of disc's it much safer.

Thunderbolt drive not going to sleep when iMac does
Not sure if my title makes sense...
Ok, I have an Intel iMac running the latest version of the O/S
Attached via firewall I have a Lacie external 2big drive
Attached via thunderbolt I have a lacie 2big thunderbolt drive
When the iMac goes to sleep by itself, i.e. I walk away and let the system decide when to sleep, only the firewall connected drive shuts down.
The thunderbolt drive remains live with that nice big blue lamp on the front of the drive remaining lit.
If I manually put the imac to sleep, then both drives shut down. I'd really like both drives to shutdown properly when the system decides I've gone to bed....or gone out or whatever.
Any suggestions?I have exactly the same problem with three lacie_2big drives. Thay do not go to sleep when my iMac is sleeping. I never had this problem untell using OS X Mavericks. Please help!

I own a copy of Aperture. my hard drive crashed and I want to reoad aperture onto my new imac. how do i do it?
Depends on how you bought Aperture to begin with..
If you bought it from the Mac App Store simply log in to the MAS using the same Apple ID you used to buy it and download it
If you bought Aperture on DVD you will need to install from the DVD using the serial number you received with the DVD package.
If you bought Aperture through a digital download prior to the MAS, say a trial version you upgraded, things get a bit more complicated. You will need to install from the original DMG package file you downloaded and use the serial number Apple set you went you purchased it.
