Files won't go on External after Mac Reboot

My External Hard Drive won't allow files to be put on it after I rebooted my Macbook Pro to factory settings. I still have all old files on my external, but it won't accept any new files after I reboot it. Any idea how I can fix this without losing what I currently have on the hard drive?

It may depend on what you meant by "I rebooted my Macbook Pro to factory settings." If you mean you erased the internal disk and installed a fresh copy of OS X, it may be that you removed the software that allowed writing on the disk and need to reinstall it. This would happen if the disk was formatted as NTFS, which OS X can read natively but not write without third-party software.

  • Why won't Thunderbird open after Mac reboot?

    Using Thunderbird on Macbook Pro for a couple of years, no problem. Recently moved house; same router and ISP but been getting invalid certificate messages on high-security sites ("Your connection is not private"). Changed two certificates to "always trust" and rebooted. Now Thunderbird won't respond, even after 2nd reboot as mentioned in another question - I've done my homework ;-)
    thanks in advance for your help!

    I mentioned the high security sites simply in terms of the general context of my problem. Thunderbird still won't open and I would very much appreciate someone's experience to understand why and what I need to do to get it to start again. All my emails are filed in Thunderbird and if it won't open, I can't work. Thanks for your help.

  • IBookG4 won't boot,fixedblue screen after Mac logo, could bGoogleEarth lib?

    Hi all,
    I have an iBook G4 with MacOS Tiger 10.4.11 (which gave me no trouble at all) and I recently got a new MBP17", so I wanted to migrate the data in my old iBook into the MBP. I tried the Migration Assistant but the FireWire connection always stopped when the process had just been initiated (the FireWire logo on my iBook screen suddenly freezes instead of keeping moving around the screen, and I can only shut down the iBook in order to get out of the migration assistant, or the finder if I was browsing through the iBook's hard drive). So far, that was the only problem. I tried to investigate to see why this happened, and since I got a report on the Migration Asst. about some GoogleEarth files, I thought that might be the problem (I copy the reports below, in Spanish, but I think you get the idea: problem when copying file in the route...)

    So the thing is that I didn't even have GoogleEarth in my iBook anymore! I deleted it long time ago as it didn't work properly, I forget what the problem was but I thought it was thoroughly erased. Apparently not. So I thought if I installed the newer version of GoogleEarth I might be able to get over this problem (although the FireWire stall problem might not be related to this at all, I've never had problems with it so it was my only guess).
    Now comes the thorny part. The problem is I was twitching so many things that I don't remember exactly what happened, but the result is that, after installing GoogleEarth again, and having some trouble while doing so, I decide to delete it again, I try to do the migration again, and it's a no-go. But things get even worse: now my iBook won't even boot. I can see it if I open it as a hard drive through fireWire (T when rebooting), although it will eventually get stuck and I have to shut down and reboot+T again. But if I reboot normally, it won't get past the blue screen right after the Mac logo+wheel gray screen. The mouse appears, then disappears, and that's the end to it.
    I've tried repairing the disc with DiskUtility, both with the original MacOSX CD and the DiskUtility on my new MBP through FireWire connection, before it gets stuck (no problems found), repaired the permissions (same same), reset the firmware (rebootopt+cmd+of, then reset-all), reset the PRAM (rebootopt+cmd+pr), I've tried to reboot in Safe Mode (it gets stuck in the Apple logo+wheel screen for a really, really long time, then lets me enter my password, and then gets stuck again in a blue scree, this time with a default desktop background image, then the plain blue screen, and all the while a repetitive sound in the hard drive as if stuck in reading something, which is the same sound as when I reboot normally and gets stuck), and tried DiskWarrior (but it won't work because of the FireWire issue, I think).
    I've pulled out the logs from the iBook library and, although there are many things, I will just show you the ones related to GoogleEarth, since it seems like the origin of the problem.

    One more thing: the rolling sound on the iBook's hard drive is something that has been going on for a long time, for instance when I opened Safari, it would get the multicolored wheel out, and this sound would start as the whole computer was paralyzed, but eventually it would move on and I could use Safari just fine (of course, since this happened every time, I switched to FireFox). The noise it makes now when stuck in the blue screen is the EXACT same noise as back then. That's why I think it's related to GoogleEarth, because my sturdy, 6-yr-old iBook had been working fine until I tried to migrate the data and the GoogleEarth dylib problem arose (no hard drive problem is my guess - and hope).
    I would appreciate any help with this, since I can't really get anything out of the iBook. The FireWire connection will be interrupted constantly, and I can try to backup all the info by rebooting repeatedly and copying manually but it's a pain and some parts of the system just will cause the FireWire connection problem to appear quicker, hence giving me no time no copy them.
    Thanks in advance, if you need any further info I'll be glad to provide what I can.
    Miguel

    sig,
    I'm sorry the post was so long but sometimes it pays off to provide all the info at once rather than have people ask about things one has already tried
    I think I'm going to do just that: save what data I can, try to do the basic migration manually (Mail account and mailboxes, Internet bookmarks, and some application preferences), and Install the Mac OS X from scratch.
    Thanks!

  • Files won't display in finder after updating to Mavericks

    Have upgraded to Mavericks. Went to finder found the folder I use daily opened it and there are no sub folders or files displaying. I have done a search, they are still on my mac. Obviously I don't remember all my file names so how do I display sub folders and files in finder now? Some advice/help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded to Mavericks I am  having issues!
    Menu bar wont show anymore on desktop, I am not using anything, no application. Just turn on the mac and there you go, I have no Menu bar. It just shows for 3 seconds then goes away forever!
    My files and folders same issue, they dissapears after 3 seconds!
    At the log in window where you type your password to turn the computer, it will not let me type in, i have to click I dont know how many million times then it would let me!
    I installed a game and the game window won't saty, it would kick me to desktop window after 3-4 seconds that i am in the game!
    and also Finder wont work!
    SO, LOTS OF ISSUES!
    My question is, is there a way to fix these things, if not how do I go back to previous OS without losing anything on my mac?
    Thank you so much for for your help....

  • Files won't copy to external hard drive

    I've never had this problem in 20+ years of Mac use.
    I have an external 4TB hard drive, which is coming on 80% full.  Sill have about 800 gigs left to go.
    I have a DVD with about a dozen old TV shows in AVI format on it.  No copy protection or anything unusual, just plain normal AVIs.
    I highlight the content and drag to move the AVIs over to the hard drive.
    All the files copy, but just as it's finishing a few of them disappear again.  I try to click and drag just the individual rogue files ... they copy nicely ... then disappear again just as the copying finishes.
    Just at random, I created another empty folder withint the target folder on the external drive and dragged the files to the newest folder.  Suddenly it works!
    This is unnerving, having some files copy but not others ... and then they DO copy when I create another random folder to put them in.
    I just noticed that the external hard drive is Windows NT File System formatted ... which I did not think to reformat to Mac before moving 3TB of data over to it.  I've read that Windows NTFS is buggy with invisible files and files that won't delete and problems like that.
    I have another new 4TB drive which I have not used yet.  If I format that one to Mac extended journalled, and then move the 3+TB of data folders over, will I just be importing the same problem with the data?  Or will the transfer to a Mac formatted drive suddenly cure the problem?
    -JOHN

    What happens when you try?  Do you get a message?  If so what is it exactly?
    How is the external hard drive formatted? Control (right) - click on the drive's icon and select Get Info from the contextual menu.  In the Info window will be the formatting information.

  • CSS files won't upload to server after update

    Hi,
    I checked 'Automaticaly upload files to server on save'
    But it when I make changes to the css in the css panel or in the file,
    the css file is never put on the server. Even if I open the css file and save it,
    it still doesn't get put on the server, I have to specificaly click the 'put' icon and choose put.
    This is VERY inconveinient.
    HELP.
    When I make a change to the css in the css panel or in the file and click save or save all, the
    css file should be put on the testing server.

    Actually this is working as intended.
    You don't mention what version of DW you are using but when making your changes and you have the css file selected in the related files across the top of your page - the css page will indeed upload on save if you have it set that way. If you have the main layout selected and you change an external css file you will notice that an asterisk is placed beside the css file in the related files. Even hitting save at that point won't save the css file and upload it unless you actually have the css file selected when you hit save.

  • Video files won't open on iPhotos after library upgrade

    I tried accessing my iPhoto library today on my iMac, and received this message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto".  I selected the "Upgrade" version accordingly.  At the same time, I also did an update on iphoto to version 9.5.1. 
    After these upgrades were completed, I attempted to access my albums in iphoto.  Everything looked fine, except that I can no longer view any videos!  When I try to view a video, this error message appears: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved" and the screen is just blank.  What do I do? This is really upsetting because I have videos of events and people important to me who have passed away 

    Hi Terence, thank you for your response.  The problem is that when I go back to Time Machine, I am unable to even restore to an earlier version.
    When I attempt to open my video files and receive the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved", I went to "File" - "Reveal in Finder" - "Original File", but then received the message "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_1929.MOV". 
    Is this a virus or bug that subsequent updates will fix, or are my videos lost forever?
    Thank you.

  • Files Won't Open on Intel-Based Macs

    We are running 10.4.11 on our Mac Pros at work, and on the two Intel-based machines you can't open any files simply by clicking on them---it merely launches the program that the files should open in and then you have to open the files from within that program directly. This happens with every program I've attempted to use: Preview, Photoshop, Office programs, etc. Anyone know of a fix for this?

    Hello,
    Try running Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions.
    Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid button, then click, Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility and reboot. See if you can open the applications now.

  • Some iPhoto files won't transfer from external drive to the hard drive.

    I had all of my photos on an external drive and I wanted to put them on the hard drive of my iMac.
    While copying all of the photos over, some of the files copied as 0 bytes into the "Data," "Originals," and "Modified" folders, but not the same files. So, some images have no thumbnail image in iPhoto (guessing from "Data"), some have no original image, but have a modified image, and some have no image at all (the 0 byte files that are only in "Originals."
    The images are all fine on the external drive still.
    Any idea of what I can do? Any file I can zap from the library or something to make this work?
    Thanks for your help.

    Open the library on the EHD with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    and look in the Masters folder to see if any of the original files have zero bytes? Do not make any other changes/alterations, i.e. look but don't touch.  If you do find zero byte image files  then it's not the copy process that is the culprit but the files are bad to start with.

  • Mini G4 Won't Boot off External after 10.4.9 Update

    I've tried three times to install the update and boot off my external hard drive connected to my MacMini G4. Tried the usual stuff like using Combo update, reparing permissions, reset NVRAM, safe boot, single-user login, etc. After it updates successfully, the machine reboots and after a few seconds, the "broken folder" or prohibitory sign appears. The little progress indicator continues to spin, but I have to restart off the internal drive to boot up. Once booted, the external has to be turned off and on so that it will appear on the desktop.
    Never a problem with earlier updates. Back to 10.4.8 I go....

    Howard:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try booting from the install disk and running Repair Disk in Disk Utility. Here's how:
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Good luck.

  • ICloud files won't open on Pages for Mac

    All of the sudden, I've discovered I can't open iCloud files in Pages on my Mac. (Just checked Keynote and Numbers, both of which I almost never use, and the same problem is happening there).
    I CAN open up the files in Pages on my iOS devices and iCloud.com, just not within the Pages app on my Mac. I know I can download files from iCloud.com if I absolutely have to. And while I can't open the iCloud files, I CAN seem to email them to myself. So I have them and can work on them on my Mac if needed...but it's annoying to have to do these workarounds.
    ALL the apps (on Mac, iDevices) are up to date, and so is Mavericks -- so I'm not sure what the issue is? Is anyone else having this problem?
    I also noticed that some of the files, when attempting to open them, have "-tef" attached to the end (like "[filename].pages-tef"). I've never seen that before, and not sure if that's related to the issue or not. Any help on getting iCloud files to open on my iWork Mac apps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    An empty .doc file will produce that error message in Pages v5.2. Click once on the .doc file, and then press option+command+i. If it says Zero bytes, game over. Otherwise, what is the Created date reported with the preceding Show Inspector key combination?
    If the MS Word document is too old, Pages v5.2 will refuse to open it. If the .doc icon has text in it with the word DOC at the bottom, it should open. If it is a plain icon with DOC at the bottom, or does not have DOC on the icon, it may be an alien that Pages v5.2 cannot handle.

  • WMV files won't play in safari on mac HELP!

    I am trying to play a webcast which is in a WMV file and all my browser tells me when I open it is that there is a missing plug-in. Tried downloading Flip4Mac and that didn't seem to help unless I'm not doing it right! Can anyone help, please??! That would be so great! Thanks!

  • PDF files won't open for recipient after sending via iCloud

    Most of the time when I send a PDF to someone they either have loading issues when trying to open my email or they simply cannot view my PDF.  Usually the message in the body isn't even present.  When I send the same email to myself on iCloud I can view it in iCloud.com or my iPhone.  This seems to happen when the receiver is using Thunderbird, Outlook, and others.  This is a serious inconvenience for a paid service.  I have to send all emails that include PDFs through my work email address which I would rather not do.  I tried turning on Unicode but that didn't help.  Don't know what else to try.

    iCloud is so buggy when it comes to this. This is just my opinion and I know it will not help your current problem. It would be in your interest to use gmail as your primary email account. I see iCloud email service as a makeshift tack-on addition by Apple to their syncing services. It wasn't made to be an email client and doesn't function properly as such. Use Gmail. People may disagree, but this is just my input. I hope another community member may have a definitive answer to your problem.

  • After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

    I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

    I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
    I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
    and the 2nd one is:
    I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!  Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked.  The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
    On the system that has not been updated, go to:
    MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
    MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
    On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders.  Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location.  Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal.  This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up.  If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
    I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
    If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.
