FCP X doesn't show my external hard drive

Hi, everyone! when I started used FCP X at first time I import some videos and iMovie projects from an external hard drive. After 2 days of using, yesterday when i'm opened fcp x it hide an external drive and i can't work with this. Can anyone help me? My OS is 10.7 beta 4. P.S. Sorry for my English

Since you're using 10.7 beta you should report your issues on the developer forum where you downloaded the software. Unfortunately, we can't help you here.

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.

  • New cube laptop - not showing Maxtor external hard-drive in windows explorer, but showing up in Device manager.

    Hi
    If anyone is able to give me some advice I'd really appreciate it. I have seen similar issues on here and tried uninstalling then re-installing the driver which seemed to fix the similar issue on someone's Windows 7 system but it doesn't seem
    to have worked for me. I also tried using the usb 2 drive rather than the usb 3.
    I have a new cube laptop with Windows 8 (which I'm not used to yet at all) and am trying to access the files from the Maxtor hard-drive from my old pc. The hard-drive does not show up under file explorer but seems to appear in device manager. The
    laptop makes noises occasionally as if it is detecting some hardware but not showing it.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Apologize for the late reply.
    How about the situation by now?
    Could the external hard drive be shown in the
    disk management?
    Or take a look at the format of that hard drive(list disks) with diskpart command:
    A Description of the Diskpart Command-Line Utility
    Check if the format is NTFS.
    Also please take a look at the following article:
    Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
    stop unexpectedly…
    Hope this may help

  • I cannot access iTunes songs showing in external hard drive

    I recently closed my dropbox account and moved its content to an external hard drive. This included iTunes songs  and now the songs and related albums no longer show in iTunes when I open it up, although I can see the individual songs (but not in albums)  in the external hard drive.  There are a limited number of albums still showing when I open up iTunes but they are albums I have recently added to iTunes.
    However I can see the albums and tracks in the iTunes media folder on my Mac internal hard drive, but they do not show up when I actually open up Itunes.I have followed advice found on this website and have tried to move my iTunes folder to the external drive so all the music is in one place, but i keep getting an 'error code 50' message appearing.  I have also tried to select the individual songs on the hard drive and move them to the media folder but there are no 'albums' to move them into and they just sit there as individual songs.  I have a macbook air which is one year old and a WD My Passport ultra 1TB external hard drive.  I am using OSX version 10.9.5 with 8GB of memory.  As you can tell from my endeavours, I do not really understand the way iTunes works and it may be that the various songs and albums in the media folder need to be organised in a different way perhaps, so that they are visible when I open up iTunes?
    As I have lots of space on my external hard drive and am running out of space on my Mac hard drive, ideally I would like all my iTunes folders to be held on my external drive, as it is always plugged in to my Mac, and for iTunes to be 'pointed' to the hard drive.   Any advice please?
    Thanks
    Elizabeth

    All kinds of things going on.
    About the error code.  Do you men "50" or do you mean "-50"?  It is critical things get reported exactly here.  Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, with probably dozens of possibilities.  I guess one simple possibility is if this is a brand new drive it likely came formatted for Windows use and needs reformatting for Mac.

    Basic workings of iTunes.  When you add a file to iTunes it puts the file in a specific location designated in you Media Folder preferences setting and makes a note in a database file (library.itl) of where it put it.  When you want to play the track iTunes looks up where the file should be, goes there and plays that file.  iTunes does not inventory its media folder for new additions.  For iTunes to recognize tracks they have to be added to iTunes either by importing, dragging to iTunes, or dragging to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.  If files added to iTunes are later moved by you in Finder, particularly to another drive, iTunes loses track of them completely and give you a broken link indicator " ! ".

    I don't know exactly how Dropbox works but basically by moving all your files instead of letting iTunes do the relocating you have broken all the links to your older files in iTunes.  You can either repair them one by one, by one, by one....  or you can rebuild your library, or essentially create a new library and start over again (you did read those links I provided didn't you?).  If you are prepared to start over, hold down the option key while starting iTunes.  Create a new library on the external drive.  Drag all your media files to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in the iTunes folder on that drive.

  • Time Machine doesn't recognise Seagate external hard drive

    Forgive my ignorance, but I can't figure out how to connect Time Machine with my new hard drive. I've clicked on "select back up disk" but my external hard drive doesn't appear. I've looked at a lot of similar support online, but everything tells me to click the button and select the drive, but not what to do if there is no drive to select. Can anyone help me? Am I missing something obvious?

    This tells me it can be done and that it's quite simple. It's all fine until step 4. When I click on Time Machine Backup Configuration it just connects to the Apple support page for how to set up Time Machine. Nowhere to input my details. Grrrrr.... This shouldn't be this hard!
    In theory, I agree that it ought to be simple, but that's Seagate's programming, not Apple's.  Few folks here, and none at Apple, are familiar with it.
    Do you have the current version?  Does it claim to be compatible with the version of OSX you're on (is that Snow Leopard 10.6.8, per your profile)?  Not all NASs are compatible with all versions of OSX.  You need to contact Seagate (or return the NAS).
    Again, I'd strongly recommend reconsidering.  I just spent the better part of a couple of days helping a user of a GoFlex Home who replaced her internal HD, then found her backups were corrupted, piece her system back together.  Not for the faint of heart.
    Take a look for yourself: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5061341
    There's a lot of chaff there -- she's not an experienced Mac user (she is now!), but was very determined to get her stuff back.  

  • My computer doesn't recognise my external hard drive

    My macbook doesn't seem to recognise my external hard drive (OS 10.8.3).
    The hard drive connects to laptop via USB, but gets power from another plug in the wall. When I plug it in, its icon does not appear on desktop, or in Finder menu.
    The hard drive works fine on my sisters laptop (Macbook, about 5 years old). Other storage devices work fine in my macbook, and appear rapidly on both desktop and finder menu when I insert them.
    Have any of you encountered this before? Can you tell me how can I fix it???

  • In need of a script that will update tv shows on external hard-drive

    Hi everyone I have a really specific question about scripts. Okay, so my dad regularly downloads various TV shows and movies etc
    and I have a neighbor named Darian who once a week gives me an external hard drive and I update a whole bunch of TV shows. Now my problem is that each time he gives me the hard drive, it takes me about 20-30 mins to update all of the TV shows because they
    are in different TV show folders, I was wondering if it is possible to make a script that when run would automatically copy all of the shows onto Darian's hard drive and then all I have to do is copy the movies which is pretty quick, here's another problem,
    all of the movies and tv shows are not on my computer but on my dad's computer, so when I copy the stuff I have to access his pc through the network and I always have to type his username and password to access his pc, so if someone could tell me if it is
    possible, the code I need and how to run it or pretty much any help, I would be very gratful, thanks in advance (:

    The best we can do is point you at the resource page and let you figure out what it is you are trying to ask:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
    Rather than ask a whole shopping list of questions rey to figure out the first step that you need to take and ask a question about that..
    I also believe that it would be good for you to get a book on how to use Windows in a home network.  All of what you ask can be done without any scripts.  It is all part of basic WIndows and is designed to make this possible and easy for home users
    but you stil need to study how the system works.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Burning tv shows from external hard drive to dvd

    I have all of my iTunes on an external hard drive but not actually on my computer,and I am now putting the tv shows on dvds, but my computer will not play the dvds. Is there a way that I can fix this?

    You can make a data DVD as back up, but you cannot make a DVD that you can play on a DVD player.
    From the terms of use of the itunes store:

  • Itunes playlists no show; 1st external hard drive second mac

    very well gentlemen and ladies my cri de coeur concerns accessing my playlists on my new 2nd (and second-hand) mac. All my music is on a hd that mounts on mac2 and plays when click on hd song - BUT old playlists dont show on new mac itunes screen and songs dont appear on new itunes screen until clicked on hd. have consolidated libraries. have dragd to trash (but not yet cleared) old itunes music folder. should i trash (mac2 previous) xml file? should i copy old xml file from old mac which DOES show all the playlists etc - even though it cant paly them as they are on the hd - which is connected to the new mac! shall i go doh! itunes 6.0.4 on imac 800 (mac1), 200g music on lacie external hard drive, itunes 7.1.1 on powermac (mac2)

    I thank u all for your input espec mark but also all the various posts in discussions generally. i am pleased to say i astounded myself by working it out (but no hubris here).the answer was to LEAVE the old 'iTunes Library' folder and the old xml file in the 'iTunes' folder on mac2 and then to copy to (subsequently) replace them with the original similar files from mac1 et voila everything - songs,tiles,dates,playlists etc all show up in new iTunes screen. how pleasant when ones aimiable bumblings work!

  • Mountain Lion 10.8.4 update doesn't accept my External Hard drive

    I just updated to 10.8.4 Mountain Lion and my External Hard drive isn't showing on my mac. I can't erase the drive bcos all the songs & videos i've been working on for my EP for almost a year & is saved on this HDD, time machine isn't working & repairing the disk volume in disk utility isn't working either. I don't know what to do & I'm literally about to have a Heart attack. Pls If you've had a similar problem, HELPPPP MEE!!!!

    Try turning off power to the external drive if it uses an external power source. Otherwise, shut down the computer, then disconnect the drive from the computer. Next do the following:
    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).
    After you restart the computer reconnect your external drive and see if the problem has been resolved.

  • FCP 7 sequence not transfering to external hard drive with media manager

    Ok so heres the problem. I started making a bunch of webisodes and after I got through editing and finishing the first two on my computer, I realized while I was working on the third one I would need to transfer my workflow to an external hard drive.
    My goal was to transfer all the projects individualy with media manager to a 1.5tb external hard drive I just purchased and then delete all the projects and associated files off my computer. Then set the new scratch bin to the hard drive and continue working on the third episode from the hard drive.
    However, thank god when I used media manager I said "copy" the files. I opened the project I had copied in the hard drive to see if it was all there and there was no sequence with all my editing! I'm not sure why it didn't import the sequence. All the clips are still I the project tab.
    Can anybody help?      Am I doing this right?
    Thanks!

    The information for the Sequence is contained in the .fcp project file that should be in the same folder as your Media Managed clips. Double click it to open the new version.

  • Why does Finder show my external hard drive as a broken alias?

    When I click on my external hard drive I get the message "The alias “External HD” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found" with the option to fix or delete the alias. It does not let me choose the drive to fix the alias or delete if I select an option.
    Both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior show no problems with the disk, but I can't access the contents.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I had a problem with my La Cie 1TB drive, connected to my Airport Extreme. Sometimes I could view the root level (first level of folders), but clicking to the second level, all folders seemed to be empty. It was indeed the alias bit that was the culprit.
    Instead of always go into Path Finder or Terminal to flip the alias bit, I made an AppleScript, compiled it into app, and put that in my Login Items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items). Now every time I reboot or log in again, the disk is mounted in the correct way, without alias bit.
    For those who want to use it, here is the script.
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    if (exists disk "NETBU") then
    eject "NETBU"
    end if
    set volumemounted to false
    try
    mount volume ("afp://youraccount:[email protected]/NETBU")
    on error
    display dialog "Error mounting NETBU." & return & return buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    end try
    set volumemounted to true
    if volumemounted = "true" then
    do shell script "sudo /usr/bin/SetFile -a a /Volumes/NETBU"
    end if
    end tell
    Note : Replace "NETBU" by the name of your disk; replace youraccount:password by your account name and your password; replace 192.168.1.2 by the IP address of your Airport. If your disk is connected in another way, you need to change the mount statement accordingly.
    Good luck !

  • Time Machine doesn't recognize my external hard drive

    My external hard drive is no longer recognized by my iMac. I have had this problem before and had to repartition the drive. There is not a drive that is available when I go into Time Machine preferences. Any ideas?

    If you completely repartitioned the external hard drive, you may need to Erase & Reformat each Partition on the drive now in order for them to be recognized.  You can do that in Disk Utility.

  • Since installing Maverick my MacBook Air is no longer showing my external Hard drive, which I connect via USB.

    Any help appriciated.

    The WD hard drive itself is probably fine, the enclosure has likely failed. WD externals are notorius for cheap enclosures failing. Try a different cable first. You can take the drive out and install it in a better enclosure, like one from OWC.
