External hdd doesn't detects from cold start

My external (USB) hdd Transcend 250Gb doesn't detects if it was plugged before I turn on my system (not shown by lsusb). It detects and mounts fine if hotplugged.

Maybe neither, I believe some motherboards have a buggy bios that can't initialize usb devices during boot properly (some devices at least) and then things will fail latter on. Try to look for a bios update or google for some other people with the same problem.

    I did what you said and updated FF, now the download goes to the external HDD that I specified, but now FF bugs, it freezes (not responing) :s
    I reinstalled it but it doesn't fix the problem. I don't know what to do :(

  • Where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start.

    where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start. But there is no apple store in our city.

    The phone does not charge when linking with adaptor. But it is OK when linking PC using USB instead. I do not know why, but I am just sure there is something wrong with the adaptor.

  • Cannot successfully boot from cold start - why?

    Subject line says it all. New Mac mini and Lacie mini 250 GB external firewire drive. Loaded 10.4.2 on both.
    Sys. Prefs set to select Lacie mini as startup disk. But from a cold start always get a boot using Mac mini. If I next do a restart (nothing turned off) it does work correctly in that the boot is now from the Lacie mini.
    When I do the cold start boot the Lacie mini is not spinning (on, but no disk noise). So how is it suppose to be spun up in time to provide the desired OS?
    Any help appreciated.

    This is my final reply to an earlier thread about this sibject. Are you leaving the Lacie powered up too?
    The start up delay seems to be the problem. I was leaving the firewire hd powered up ie: always on. If I power it down at shut down and switch it on just before booting it spins up and the boot grabs hold of it no problem. Oddly enough the Maxtor that I used before did not give this problem. I left it powered up and it booted OK. Many thanks for the tip!

  • My external HDD doesn't works on Macbook Pro ML

    Hi,
    my external HDD works on Windows and Macbook SL, doesn't with Macbook Pro ML.
    I can't see it in Disk Utility.
    Can someone help me or suggest what I have to do?
    Thanks

    Based on what you have said, I do not have an answer for you.  The obvious difference is the OS, but I find it difficult to believe that would be the problem. 
    Do you have another HDD to attach to the MBP?  That seems to be my last arrow in my quiver.
    Ciao.

  • Kernel panics from cold start

    I get the following kernel panics fairly often from a cold start. Is this something to do with my hard drive or the RAM. It is a 4GB BTO MB 2.4GHz from the Apple factory.
    Grateful if someone could give me some guidance. It seems CPU related. Hope this is not a big issue.

  • My time machine backup (on external hdd) doesn't see my new internal HDD.

    I just installed a new HDD and RAM in my mid-09 MBP. When I try and restore from a time machine backup on an external drive, I only get the option to install it on the other partition on that drive - my new internal drive doesn't even appear as an option. Could it be because the backup is from lion but my os disc is leopard?

    When reading my report, I forgot to mention how the external hard drive is formatted :

  • External HDD doesn't show on finder.

    Hello community!
    My friends MacBook Air is not recognizing the HDD.
    The HDD works through USB and used to work on her's iMac.
    Tried to go to the disk utility and the disk doesn't show up there, neither on finder.
    Regrards,
    Rui

    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the System Management Controller
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • Prohibited sign at bootup after cloning internal hdd to external hdd and booting up from it

    Good evening.
    My specifications/environment: I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2009 model running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  The internal hdd had 2 partitions, one for Mac and one for Bootcamp.
    Objective:  I am trying to upgrade the internal 500GB to a Seagate 1TB external Harddrive and making it the primary internal. Then I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Steps taken:  Used a 2TB external to make a Time Machine backup of the current internal harddrive.  I put it aside.  I made a clone of the internal harddrive (only the mac partition) to another 1TB external, using Disk Rescue 3.  I took external Seagate out of its external case and replaced the 500GB internal. I booted up with the new 1TB drive and got a prohibited sign with the spinning circle.  I booted up again holding in the ALT key to select the boot drive.
    I did notice though that the 1TB Seagate drive used, is a little bit fatter than the previous 500GB internal.  I did manage to fit the drive in still, as it had the SATA connector and it did sort of fit in.
    Since I couldnt get the drive loaded up, I put the original back in, started up and did a verify and repair on the new drive.  It did say that there was a minor header error and it fixed it.  Put the new 1TB back in as the internal, but still getting the prohibited sign at startup.
    I booted up again without holding ALT and got the folder with the question mark flashing. I shut down again and used ALT and selected the Hard drive for start up and got the prohibited sign again.
    i must mention that I also had difficulties deleting the Bootcamp partition and reclaiming the storage to the Mac HDD.
    I have more details on the issue as I've tried so many different things.
    Please guide me into what steps I should take to make this work.
    Thank you in advance

    After the two previous partition/format attempts (the first of which included Zero Data erase [around 5 hrs on the 500GB drive as recommended per Kappy's Extended Hard Drive Preparation]) I returned the drive to the retailer for an exchange with an identical WD Scorpio Blue 500GB (I wasn't sure that there was an issue with the drive but didn't want to take any chances on my brand new hard drive upgrade....).
    I prepared the new replacement drive attached via USB 2.0 Bytec DriveMate (which has a separate power supply) using Disk Utility (running DU off the internal hard drive [Leopard ver 11.1}), partitioned as 1 partition, GUID, Mac OS Extended (Journaled); erased (but did not zero data); unchecked the "ignore ownership" check box of the external destination drive via Get Info after selecting the drive on the Desktop; and cloned the internal HD to the external drive using the Restore tab of DU, selecting "erase destination" check box.
    The clone using Disk Utility Restore tab completed successfully in around 4 hours (83GB of data cloned to the 500GB drive...seems long...perhaps selecting "erase destination" under the Restore tab caused it to take longer?). I unchecked the "ignore ownership" box for the destination drive again after cloning. Rebooted to the external drive and ran a few apps....everything OK.
    Not sure what the difference was in the successful clone - whether there was a problem with the original drive or whether "zeroing the data" during the first erase and partition may have created issues - but it worked fine with the new drive.

  • External Display doesn't wake from display sleep

    My display is set to sleep after an idle period (computer itself set to not sleep), when I return to the computer and wake the displays the external display most of the time does not "wake" or come back with picture. I need to disconnect the adapter and plug it in again.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Guys, please read THIS thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1760586&tstart=0
    EVERYONE is experiencing this bug if you're using your new MacBook Pro with an external display. In the thread above, I detail how to fix it without having to unplug the DisplayPort adapter.
    The symptoms you're experiencing are:
    1.) Bizarre interference all over the external display when either a) waking your notebook from sleep, or b) turning screen on if the screen is set to turn off after x minutes.
    2.) External display not actually turning on at all after either a) waking your notebook from sleep, or b) turning screen on if the screen is set to turn off after x minutes.
    The fix is listed in the above thread. It's only a temporary workaround, and Apple REALLY needs to address this issue ASAP.
