External Harddrive Recognized...but not

Hey all, I'm having some real problems here and I'm wondering if my HD is dead. I have probably 100Gb of music and 250Gb of pictures and movies and such, and would be devastated if I lost it all. When I plug in the HD, it boots up and turns on, and my MBP recognizes it under Disc Utility, but not on my Desktop. Under Disk Utility, it brings up the HD and underneath it the hard drive name. I ran the Repair Disk and this does nothing at all. It only leaves me with a "Invalid B-tree node size, Volume check failed, Error:Filesystem verify or repair failed."
Is there anything I can do from here? Someone I can take the HD or a program I can run? Please please please help. Cannot afford to lose my data.

I had the EXACT problem a month ago with my 1tb hard drive
Im not sure if this is whats wrong with yours but with mine, I had possibly been transferring data when the hard drive was unplugged or had power cut from it, this theoretically clogged my hard disk within it and corrupted my partition mapping, Basically from there my hard drive was rooted and would have never worked again....
However i had it replaced under 3 year warranty and was allowed to keep my old one for a couple of days to salvage files, i recommend StellarPheonix this picked up everything on my hard drive and allowed me to salvage it, i could also watch, view and edit files from within it.

  • External display recognized but not working?

    So, I've got kind of a weird problem.
    Whenever I connect my iMac (through the Thunderbolt port) to my 32" RCA HDTV via a displayport to HDMI adapter, it shows on my iMac that there is a display connected (TTE HDTV), but my TV isn't recognizing it. I have tested the port/TV using my Windows laptop with a (native) HDMI port and there have been no problems.
    I would think it was the cord I bought, except that my iMac recognizes an external display. It doesn't seem to be the TV's fault, and I've tried every resolution setting.

    Yeah I have been having the same problem. When I'm looking at the Display Settings, it comes up with Samsung 1080 when its connected, however the tv doesnt recognize it. And if i unplug the HDMI cable from the adapter, the Tv options go away. There must be some sort of TV setting maybe? I am also using a passive adapter.

  • Iphone is recognized, but not identified correctly

    Hi,
    i have a problem with my iphoe 4 under Win 7 x64. Everytime i connect the phone iTunes shows me the message like 'iphone is recognized, but not identified correctly' (in German: ein iPhone wurde entdeckt, konnte jedoch nicht korrekt identifiziert werden.)
    I have a debug log attached.

    [8416 @ Tue Dec 21 16:49:50 2010] [YSLoader AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe]

    I had a little time to elaborate with and getting involved more deeply. I found out that there was an old installation of IrfanView (some older version) which probably interacted with the iTunes. After unistallation both iTunes (including registry entries and all files from disk) and that sh*t (=IrfanView), the new iTunes installation ran properly and the problem was solved.
    It could be caused by the exact combination of: Win7, iTunes 9 or 10, IrfanView, Lenovo T400 and probably something more I cannot recognize .
    p.s. During the problem solution I bought me a brandnew iPhone 4 so I was able to test it both with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3. The result was - It does not matter what iPhone do you have...

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

    Luke, many of the peripials such as cameras, printers, scanners, some will plug right in and work.
    Others, need to plugged in and restart your computer,for them to work.
    and last but not least some need there own drivers to operate correctly.
    Those that need drivers normally come with an insallation CD for this purpose... Cheers...Don

  • Firewire Drive Recognized, but not Mounting

    Hi all - I have a peculiar problem with my iMac as it is not mounting anything Firewire.  System Profiler recognizes there is something attached via Firewire, it even displays the information about it, but there is no disk to be accessed.
    Also, the iMac can successfully work in Target Disk mode on another computer, but so far won't recognize an external hard drive (WD 2TB) or MacBook in Target Disk mode.  Also, I only have a Firewire 400 cable to use, and the computer recognized and mounts the drive using USB 2.0.
    Any suggestions?  I've already tried resetting the SMC and PRAM...  Not sure what I'm up against now...
    Thank you!
    -Kevin Cramblet

    You saying the external drive works with USB and doesn't with FW and you only have a FW400 cable?  I assume your mac uses FW800.  FW800 requires a 9-pin connector.  FW400 a 6-pin.  Cables and adapters exist to go from 9-pin to 6-pin.  But I don't think plugging a 6-pin FW400 cable into 9-pin FW800 socket will work.  That's probably your problem.

  • I want to move just my movies from iTunes to an external hard drive but not my music

    i have a fairly large movie/TV collection in iTunes.  i don't need these most of the time so i want to move them to an external hard drive.  however, i want to keep my music & podcasts in the current internal hard drive.
    is this possible?  if so, how?
    i've looked at this page & the video that details how to move the entire iTunes library but they do not address my specific issue.
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    http://www.cnet.com/videos/move-your-itunes-library-to-an-external-drive-5010991 0/

    If you have one library, the movies are on another drive and you don't have the external running all the time you will have annoying !=broken link for all your movies until you turn on the drive and restart iTunes.  For things you do not want to have to see on a daily basis the best solution is to make a separate library and keep the whole movie library, media and library files, on the external drive.  The drive then does not have to be turned on all the time. 
    Make a new library by starting iTunes while holding down the option/alt key.
    If you want to do it all in one library, to move some items:
    Sept. 2010, Consolidate selected content - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2589812 and April 2014, https://discussions.apple.com/message/25414357#25414357
    Note, any purchases you make will still automatically go to the media folder specified in the preferences for that library so you will have to relocate files after each purchase.
    A slightly neater method than that recommended by bodyxs is to move the file but re-add them by holding down the option key while dragging them to iTunes.  That should leave them in the current (the copy on the external) location, overriding iTunes wanting to copy them to the media folder.

  • External Storage Solutions (but not computer backups)

    There are many articles about external hard drives for backups, but what about as a source to store home videos and pictures? For example, I have a MacBook Air 128GB that can’t store much. My backup drive is a Time Capsule 2TB. After extensive research it turns out the using the TC as a backup (using Time Machine) AND as extra storage is not recommended (problems with partitions). As such the 2TB is an overkill for the 128GB "McAir."
    So how do I find a 2 identical hard drives of say 1TB each to store home videos (HD) and thousands of pictures? These files do not fit on the notebook so therefore do not get backed up with Time Machine. Currently I have files in a windows laptop, USB flash, Camcorder flash, etc that need proper storage.
    I would use 2 so that the second one is a backup of the 1st. What is the best way to go about it? Thanks.

    There are plenty of different solutions..
    Generally a true NAS.. ie one that has mirrored drives and real backup is the way to go..
    Look at Synology two drive NAS.. they are not cheap but the files are stored and you can setup automated backup.
    A media computer is also a reasonable solution.. I don't know where you are but the micro HP servers are now hugely popular here.. they are cheap and take 4 drives. You can load it with several different OS from Linux or FreeNAS to full windows or some media distribution.
    A Mac Mini can also do this kind of service but you need to use FW (much better than USB) hard disk on it. Use it as a media computer and file store.
    Apple seem to be heading cloud.. (where their head is).. but for most people, our internet speeds are not such that loading media into cloud storage is viable.. great for backup.. not so great for anybody outside of high speed fibre service.

  • Mbox recognized but NOT working--input volume greyed

    I have the original Mbox, which came with protools 6.4
    I used to use the mbox with garageband and have no problem.
    At some point I updated to OS 10.4.3
    At about the same point I updated to protools 7.0
    Now the Mbox appears in the pref list in garageband, but when I select it (as opposed to the built in mic) the input volume of the selected tracks goes grey and I the imput from the Mbox is not recognized in garageband.
    I read all about how I should install the standalone core audio driver and uninstall protools. I have done this and still no luck. I have tried standalone core audio drivers versions 6.9, 7.0, and 7.3. No luck.
    The only thing I can think is that I have not properly uninstalled protools 7.0. I did an uninstall of 6.4 with the CD, and since I don't have the CD from 7.0, I called digidesign and they are sending me one. In the meantime they emailed me a 'PT Cleaner' that is supposed to disable all PT related files.
    All I can think is that I really need to wait for the PT 7.0 CD and run an uninstall with it, and then re-install the standalone core audio driver.
    Could it be something else? I am at wit's end!
    I repeat: THE MBOX APPEARS IN GARAGEBAND PREFS, BUT WHEN IT'S SELECTED, THE INPUT VOLUME IS GREYED AND NO SIGNAL GOES INTO GARAGEBAND.
    I HAVE TRIED EVERY VERSION OF STANDALONE CORE AUDIO. HELP!!!!
    (ps--i don't have an intel mac)
    Powerbook G4 1.33   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2004

    WHEN IT'S SELECTED, THE INPUT VOLUME IS GREYED
    THAT IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM, SOMETHING ELSE IS:

  • TREX - Indexing external links' metadata, but not content

    Hi All,
    I have a number of external links in the CM repository and would like to include them into the search results.
    However during indexing, all external links fail pre-processing because I believe it is trying to get the content of the link but it does not have authorisation.
    Is there a way to just index the metadata and ignore the content?
    Cheers,

    Hi Achim,
    I saw that there was host specified with
    http://<%hostname%>. So i thought it should work. I tried editing this value and give the host  name.
    For example my portal address is
    http://portal.company.com:50000
    so i gave the address
    http://portal in my host parameters.
    This is still not working. Should i change the parameter to something else??
    Thanks,
    Kiran.
