Encrypted Drives Can't Be Accessed

After 10.7.2, can't access drives that were encrypted and password protected under 10.7. Passwords are denied.

Is that on a 64-bit system, john?
If so, even though it's about a different application (and even if you're on Windows 7 rather than Vista), I'd try the following document:
Vista Home Premium (x64) and installing Itunes - SOLUTION
The theory here is that last time I checked, the SafariSetup.exe installer include a 64-bit bonjour installer (for installs on 64-bit systems). So in principle, the same problem as discussed in the link can hit a Safari install (even though I'm not sure I've seen an example of it in the flesh before).

HT1751 if I move my iTunes library to an external hard drive can my computer access these files in iTunes or do I need to move them back to play music, watch movies, etc.???

If I move my iTunes library to an external hard drive, can my MacBookPro access these files in iTunes or do I need to move them backto my MacBookPro to play music, watch movies, etc.???
Trying to alleviate some disc space on my Mac!!!

Yes, it can. Launch iTunes with the Option key held down and navigate to that instance of the library.

Toshiba 3.0 USB external hard drive can't be accessed

I got a new pc (8.1 64) The external hard drive shows up in the folders window, but when I try to open it, I get the following message:" F:\ is not accessible. Access is denied." My son-in-law says this is because when I originally set it up on my old pc I didn't allow sharing. That old pc has had it's disk formatted, so I can't go back to it to reset it there. Any way I can get at my backed-up files?

Take ownership of the drive.

Windows 8: Bit Locker encrypted drive "Not Found" or "Access Denied"

I just upgraded my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro. C drive is not Bit locker protected, but D drive is. When I go to Computer and double click on D drive, it tells me one of two errors: 1) Application Not Found (more common), or 2) Access is Denied
(less common).
I thought maybe Bit locker wasn't working, but I plugged in my USB stick that is encrypted and had no issues; it asked for the password and opened the folder.
One thing I did earlier was to setup a new local account, give it administrator password, then delete the other account that I had originally used in Win7 (and in installing Win8). Maybe this caused some sort of security problem.
Please help.
Thanks.

I have been using Bitlocker since it was available with Vista Ultimate. I have had the same password to unlock my drive for 5 years. I NEVER keep my recovery key this drive. but just last month i copied all my data to another drive formatted
it to freshen it up and copied it back over. For some reason i kept the recovery key TXT file.... when i tried your method here due to the same exact problem listed the command prompt would not allow me to enter a password in CMD or powershell. Since
i had the recovery key .. THANK GOODNESS it unlocked perfectly and i was able to retrieve my 6 years of Data. So yes, this works and works well. thank You!

HELP! MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE CAN'T BE ACCESSED!!

I accicentally changed the permissons on my New Lacie external Hard Drive and now the hard drive cannot be seen on my desk top and I don't have access to it. It can be seen in disk utility, but I cannot access it at all. Please, anyone, help me!

@simon backhouse
Your problem is a little different. I am guessing that your external drive was formatted using HFS+ (the standard Mac file system). Windows can not recognize this, although it detects that something is attached to your computer.
I would also guess that when you are in XP, you can not see your Mac OS X partition (the one on your internal drive).
To solve this issue, the only remedy I know is something called MacDrive. Once you install MacDrive in XP, you should be able to see all your HFS+ (i.e. Mac OS X) partitions and external drives. Furthermore, you will be able to save files to them.
Here is the link for the trial version of MacDrive: http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/freetrial.asp

How can I reset the TC or reload a saved configuration?

Yes, with the following warnings.
1. A 1TB TC is a Gen3 or earlier and can die at a moments notice.. So backup is essential.
2. A Gen1 or 2 is slow.. even over ethernet they were processor bound and so transfer speeds are not great.. a USB2 plugged into the computer will be faster. Gen3 is about 50% better as the processor was upgraded by 50% speed.
3. TC has no built in backup.. TM cannot backup network drives.
4. TC is designed to spin up slowly and spin down quickly.. you will have issues with itunes constantly losing the library.
5. You cannot use USB to the TC.. it is a network drive. If you want to use USB directly on the computer buy a USB drive.. but buy as fast a drive as your Mac supports.. Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2
USB3 is cheap and very good.. but the port is only from 2012 so check your Mac specs.
Thunderbolt whilst being super fantastic and around since 2011, has a bank account clearing price although there are Thunderbolt to esata converters.. for around $160. esata falls between usb3 and fw800.
FW800 from WD is no better than USB2 but other brands it can be twice the speed of usb2.
USB2 is the worst. But still faster than a TC.

Windows 8: Bit Locker encrypted drive "Access Denied" external drive

I rebuilt my computer and installed win 8.1 pro. Now my external drive comes up as an empty drive with "Access denied". Here is the kicker: I had turned off bitlocker on the external drive long ago as it interfered with automated backups.
Running the commands suggested here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/738c1760-c96d-430f-9ae6-1f28f5c60998/windows-8-bit-locker-encrypted-drive-not-found-or-access-denied?forum=w8itprosecurity it shows the bitlocker but as unlocked. Drive still shows empty.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Markus

Ahh, turns out to be permission issue not bitlocker (or maybe bitlocker caused it to lose permissions, don't know).
Opened MyPc, right click on drive ->properties->security->advanced and selected apply to all.

How can I share/access a second hard drive on my 'puter?

Actually, the second drive is on my G4 running Tiger; it's Drive2 because it's not the boot drive, and I'd like it to be available to everyone in the house, but especially me. I'll access it from my MacBook(10.6), the other folks from the G4 itself. But when I'm on the MacBook, the Drive2 is never even visible as a target when I try to connect. That's the first thing I'd like to fix. Later we can figure out privacy/ownership issues for the files we put there.
From the MacBook, I can logon to the G4's boot drive as a guest—which seems to happen automatically, but only accesses public folders—or as a User of one of the accounts on it, but I don't get Drive2 either way. I accidentally discovered that if I connect as admin I do get an option to see both drives, but not to access my files on Drive2, nor my own account on the boot drive; I just get to mess about in the admin account, as one would expect. But if I sit at the G4 and logon I can see and use both drives. I have mucked with ownerships and 'Ignore ownerships …' to a dangerous degree, and no suucess. It would be a kindness if someone could tell me the default settings I should have recorded.
What must/can I do to make the second drive a free-for-all-users place in my tiny wee home network? Since it already is accessible for anyone on the G4, that question actually reduces to: How can I make the second, non-boot HD on a Tiger G4 available to a user on a SnowLeopard MacBook?
I know there's a place for this question in the Tiger forums, but I have to start somewhere, and double-posting's not helpful.

Can i recover lost data from encrypted drive by Bitlocker

Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7.
few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
my 300 gb of data lost. and nothing saved
i remember unlock password.
how can i recover my data ??? i need my data
i tried drive recovering tools (advanced EFS data recovery, easeus . . ,) . but . . . it's encrypted and formatted drive.
can i undo quick format and decrypt ???
sorry my english is not good.
someone help me please.

BitLocker is not the cause of failed to recover files.
Format a drive will clear all data saved on the hard disk. Thus recovery formatted data will be a hard disk based technology but not related to operation system. There is no build-in data recovery feature in Windows operations. So we will needto use third party recovery tool or contact third party data recovery company for current issue.
As recovery missing data service will be expensive, we can also check emails and contact friends to see if that can help get a part of files back especially for photos, documents etc.

How can I restrict access to add. internal hard drive by account?

Hello! Okay, so I am my computer's administrator, and I have a secondary 'guest' account that anyone else can use. So, I know that all my data on my main, OS hard drive is secure from the guest account accessing it, but what about the additional hard drive that I have installed?
I have a good deal of sensitive data and files stored (and aliased) on my second internal drive that I do not care for 'guest' users to stumble upon. How can I restrict access to the secondary storage hard drive from my Guest login account, and/or just plain hide it from it? Surely, there is a need for this that has brought about a solution. Any tips/advice/solutions?
Thanks!!!

My Mac Book Pro had a split drive with Windows Microsoft Access on it and it was removed when Mavericks installed. I need this so how can I go back to the old system?

Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading?

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.)

Have itl and xml files on external hd am running home premium. can no longer access files, am told this is because they were created with a newer version of itunes. also when i try to download 10.3 it wont, just says invalid drive j and for me to try aga

i am running vista home premium on desktop and vista basic on laptop. have placed my itunes music with .itl and .xml files onto external drive connected to another desktop running vista and can no longer access music on first two mentioned comps only on the one connected to external drive. always am told that the library cant be read because it was created using a newer version of itunes. have tried to download 10.3 but it always tells me that i have and invalid hard drive j and to try again. any ideas?

Older versions of iTunes cannot read libraries created with newer versions of iTunes. You need to have the same version of iTunes on all your PCs. Is that the case?
As far as the problem installing iTunes goes, see this article from b noir on dealing with the problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2450004
If you get to the point where you need the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, you will need more help as it has been withdrawn by Microsoft. but I am hoping the virtual drive trick will work,
