G-Drive Mini disconnects itself
Hello everyone,
This has happened a few times, too many to ignore. When I leave my MBP on and go away for a while, when I come back and take it out of sleep mode, or just the screen saver, I get that message when you unplug a device without properly eject it first. Always with the G-Drive Mini. But when I open a Finder window, it's still there and I can use it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks a lot.
When i do, its only showing my big gdrive, a connected server, and my hd. But not the mini.
One other detail i should add, if it changes anything, is last night i tried hooking up the g-drive mini to my airport express just to see if it would work wirelessly (after soon finding out express doesnt support that). Having to use a USB cord, I needed to plug it into the wall with the ac-adapter.
Thats when I went to plug it back into my laptop and wouldn't mount from that moment forward.

hi guys, my i-pod mini 'disconnects' itself from the PC. i plug it in the USB, it says 'Do Not Disconnect' as expected, then after a few moments, it sort of disconnects itself - the PC can't see the i-pod anymore and the i-pod is already displaying the main menu...
how does one solve this? i read about reformatting the i-pod, but i think the i-pod has to stay connected to the PC if i'll run the software update, is this correct? so that's not an option for me i think...
thank you in advance!It seems like your iPods dead; they're really is hardly anything you can do to fix it.
If you want to buy a new one and make some money from the old iPod check out www.ipodresq.com -

Mac Mini disconnects USB2 hard drives when in stop
Hi,
I am having a problem with my mac mini Core Duo 1.66.
I have some hard disks connected.
The firewire works just fine, while the usb2 raid0 stripe is disconnected every time the mac mini goes to into sleep mode.
So the mini goes into sleep mode. Then I wake the mini from sleep and the drives are disconnected (Device removal info window appears).
Also the reliability of usb2 is not at pair as the ppc machine I've had in the past ...
This is very annoying, since all the links in the finder bar are lost ..
It was doing it with 10.4.6 and now 10.4.7 too.
But suddenly this problem started with 10.4.6. It wasn't always present.
The drives uses Oxfor 912 chipset, also they've been working great on any previous mac since 2 years ..
Any idea how to solve it?Connect the drives to a USB Hub?
It happens that the mouse and keyboard no longer work.
It happens that I have to unplug them and then to unplug and re-plug the keyboard and mouse to make them work again.
One of the drive is not showing in the disk utility (The usb2 is a software raid0)
It used to work in USB2, and then it progressively went worst and worst and now it no longer works.
But it works perfect in firewire. But the performance drops in firewire to 25-22Mb/s
Also USB2 memories sometimes are unplugged, disappear from the desktop.
I have a sandisk memory, not just the cheapest.
Maybe I bring the mini to apple. -
Hard drive disconnects itself improperly-Hard disk sleep?
Hello,
I have recently bought a 2011 Macbook Pro and I am facing a problem with an external Verbatim LCD hard drive.
It seems like when the drive is inactive for 10 minutes or so, it gets disconnected improperly, I get an error message and the drive disappears from the system until I unplug it and plug it back in.
Also I have noticed that when the disk is in use , it does not disconnect. I tried leaving playing a movie to see what will happen and everything was ok. When I stopped the movie and left the Macbook Pro it disconnected itself after a while.
I know this may be bacause of the option in the Power Saver "Put hard disks to sleep if possible".
So, I have decided to untick this option and up to now everything seems fine again.
I just wonder, should I leave this option on or off? And if this option is there, why does it cause such a serious problem like disconnecting a hard drive?
This certainly should not be happening!
I would appreciate any information on that.
Thank you in advance!Anyone?

Seagate Expansion 2 TB External USB drive keeps disconnecting
Hi,
I just attached a nearly new Seagate 2 TB Expansion USB external drive to my iMac running Snow Leopard, as a Time Machine drive.
The drive sits idle until Time Machine does a backup. However, the drive keeps disconnecting momentarily - I get the "your drive was not ejected properly" error message, the drive icon disappears for a few seconds, and then the drive reconnects by itself. Happens several times an hour.
Is this a known glitch? Do I need to replace the drive (it's under warranty, but still a bit of a nuisance)?My logs...

Portabe USB hard drive random disconnects
I recently purchased a Canvio 1TB portable hard drive. It occasionally disconnects itself from the computer, seemingly at random, without me touching the drive or cable. My old 320GB USB 2 hard drive, with a double cable, never does this. Do I just need a double USB 3 cable, or is there something else going on?

USB drive randomly disconnects (and causes deep traversal in Time Machine)
I have two external drives connected through a USB hub and they get sometimes randomly disconnected. Sometimes when I plug the drives in, only one appears on the desktop. Then I unplug them, plug them back in and just the other drive appears.
The other problem is that I back up one of the drives to the other using Time Machine and when the drive disappears by itself, Time Machine needs to perform deep traversal of the whole drive AND backs up the whole drive from scratch (see the console log below).
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter

I've been using my ipod as a portable hard drive for quite sometime now. I use it on my work pc and on my home pc with very few problems (or at least, no problems I haven't been able to solve myself yet).
This morning I hooked up the ipod to the pc at work as per usual and everything seemed fine. Then when I went to access the ipod in My Computer it wasn't there. I've had things similar to that happen before so I just disconnected and reconnected it. Everything worked fine for about 1 minute then in the middle of moving a file it just disconnected itself. Whenever I connect it to the pc it will disconnect itself in about a minute. It definitely connects because I can see it in iTunes and in My Computer.
It shows up in iTunes and stays there until I try to access some settings. I can't Restore it because it disconnects in the middle of the Restore. I've tried rebooting the ipod, the machine, restoring the ipod...none of it works.
I'm in the process of reinstalling iTunes to see if that solves the problem.
Through all of this the ipod still works perfectly fine as an ipod. I just can't hook it up to the pc at all to update it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's disconnecting itself as soon as iTunes is finished with its initial update that occurs as soon as you hook up the iPod but I haven't confirmed that yet.take it to a apple store, the hard drive is going. I had this problem and when i took it to the apple store, they replaced it with a new one.

USB Drives Randomly Disconnect and then Reconnect
On my laptop I have a USB drive where I keep all of my data. It is always plugged in while the laptop is in use. However a number of times the USB drive disconnects itself and then immediately reconnects. I get the notification that my Y drive has been connected. This causes problems for my synchronization application that constantly monitors changes on my C drive. I have changed all of the Power options that prevent the drive from powering down when not in use but the problem still happens. This problem happens on all of my USB ports. The external drive is a Western Digital My Passport 2 TB drive. This problem is getting to be a real nuisance. I have only had the laptop for 5 months. In searching the internet there seems to be a lot of people that have been having this problem but I couldn't find a suitable solution. I never had this problem with any previous laptops that used this external drive. The laptop is running Windows 8.1 with 12 GB RAM and a 1 TB hard drive. This is the operating system that was installed on the laptop when I purchased it. Has anyone found a fix for this type of problem? Thanks,Joyce
This is a known bug and Microsoft are working on a fix. They plan to fix this before Firefox 4 reaches release candidate phase.
A workaround is to change a preference in Firefox:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''html5.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
If you do this, remember to set the preference back to true by double-clicking on it again when Firefox 4 release candidate is made available, the bug should be fixed by then. -
Soooo every time I try to update my iPhone, I regret it. Every time. Because whenever I try to update my iphone 4s software, it goes well until about halfway through, when the phone disconnects itself (indicated by the noise it makes in windows) and then after a second, reconnects. After this happens the phone is stuck in recovery mode until I fully restore it to factory settings. I have alot of music on my phone and it takes FOREVER to pick out all the individual songs that I had on there before and drag them back on the phone. Makes my wannna pull my own teeth out. It's either I do this EVERY time I update my phone, or I never update it. IS THERE A SOLUTION!?

External USB3 backup drive (WD) disconnects randomly and won't back up - mavericks
since the upgrade to mavericks i started having this bug:
my WD external USB3 drive (managed by time machine) wants to disconnect on its own.
I keep getting errors that I need to expel the drive before disconnecting. but I do nothing to disconnect the drive....
According to the disk utility, the external drive is still in good shape. but I could not set it up as backup drive anymore.
I have been using this drive for one year now, never had problems with lion. both drive and mac mini are about one year old.
is there a fix on the way for this?
Thank you!Check the More Like This section at the right particularly i upgraded my imac hard drive to a 2tb drive. how do i use time machine to get my computer back to normal?

Will the G-Drive Mini work with the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter?
I'm closing in on buying a new MacBook Pro, but the lack of FireWire on the new retina models is worrying me. I've seen a lot of negative responses in regard to the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, specifically in regards to the G-Raid mini - most of them noting it's the dual drive that's the issue.
So would any of you happen to know - does a G-Drive mini work well with the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter? I will be doing a lot of heavy video editing if that makes any difference.I found out after purchasing a Retina MacBook Pro that you can in fact use the G-RAID Mini, the way to do it is to have two Thunderbolt to FireWire adapters, plug in the first one to the drive and the computer, wait for the drive to start clicking, and then plug the other cable between the computer and the G-RAID on the second port.
This obviously only works if you have a rMBP as you need the two Thunderbolt ports. -
How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps! -
USB Hard Drives Keep Disconnecting or Not Responding
Hi,
This is a long post - but one that I hope someone can offer advice on.
The Hardware
Mac Pro running OSX 10.8 (but this has happened on all versions of the OS i.e. 10.6/.7 etc)
3 x Internal SATA Hard Drives - All working perfectly.
External Drives:
2 x Western Digital My Book 1TB USB Hard Drives
1 x Seagate 750GB Hard Drive with USB2 connectivity
2 x IcyBox Dual Bay USB2 hard Drive enclosures using JMicron Chipsets - these enclosures have 2 x 1TB Western Digital Green in each (totaling 4 TB across the 2 enclosures).
D-Link 7 Port USB2 Hub
The Problem
- USB Hard Drives connected to the Mac are ejected from the system without notice and at random times AND/OR
- The external hard drive remains mounted, but when trying to write to the drive/partitions, Finder throws an error message up saying the operation cannot be completed - error code -50.
- Time Machine: TM will back up successfully several times, before eventually throwing an error up that it cannot create the folders required on the drive.
- The only way to be able to use the drives again is either remount the drive, or in some case, it is required to completely power the drive down and then reconnect.
Re-creating the problem
I have honestly not found a sure-fire way of replicating the problem. It seems completely random. It happens when I am actually sat at the computer, but it also happens when I am away from the computer.
In the past - my Time Machine hard drive has been one of the Western Digital MyBook drives. I also used the second MyBook for SuperDuper backups (extra redundancy). The 4TB drives in the IcyBox enclosures have been used to backup my ripped movie collection.
Recently however - I decided to have 2 of the 1TB drives in the IcyBox enclosures to be TM and SuperDuper backups. I have however reverted TM back to one of the Western Digital drives, purely for testing purposes. SuperDuper is backing up to one of the 1TB drives in the IcyBox.
I am trying various things to see if I can find the issue, but it is such a random event that it is taking ages to even come close to find a problem. Sometimes the drives will stay active for a few days, sometimes only a few hours, even minutes.
Theories
I have several theories as to why my USB drives continually disconnect.
1. The D-Link USB Hub.
Could connecting the drives through the hub be causing the problem? I don't really see how, unless it is a documented case that D-Link USB hubs do not play nice with OSX? To try and rule this out I have connected the current Time Machine back up drive (Western Digital MyBook) directly to the USB port on the back of the computer. The SuperDuper (IcyBox enclosure) drive is currently connected through the D-Link hub. I have removed all the other drives from the enclosures - so at present I have only 2 external drives connected (1 x 1TB Western Digital MyBook, 1 x 1TB Western Digital Green inside one of the IcyBox dual-bay enclosures - connected through D-Link Hub).
2. JMicron Chipset
I have done a bit of research on the internet and there are a few indications that perhaps JMicron SATA-to-USB controller chipsets found in a lot of external hard drive enclosures (including the dual bay IcyBox external enclosures that I have) do not play nice with OSX. If the JMicron chipsets in the 2 IcyBox enclosures is a problem - would that cause issues with other USB devices on the USB bus off the Mac? (i.e. can the JMicron chipset in the enclosures cause devices such as the WD MyBook drives which I assume use a non-JMicron chipset, to experience similar failures?)
3. Green Hard Drives
As I have said, I have 4 Western Digital Green 1TB hard drives inside the IcyBox Dual Bay Enclosures. Could the fact that these drives are 'Green' be causing a problem? They do go to sleep after x number of minutes, but they do wake up when required. But could on the occasion when I have problems, could this be caused by the 'Green' feature interrupting OSX in waking the drives? Coupled with JMicron chipset, could this be compounding the issue?
Possible Solutions
I am prepared to spend money on replacement drives and/or enclosures etc - but I would hate to spend x amount of money and have the same problem. So I am hoping to get some advice on what drives/enclosures are more than likely to work flawlessly with OSX.
Thanks for reading!FYI - re: the SuperDuper drive that is in one of the IcyBox enclosures.
I just opened this drive up in Finder. I heard the drive wake up, but when I came to copy a file over (tried various file sizes) - I got the error -50 message.
Here is the info from Console.
