Hi Group: I think my "Macintosh H.D." disappeared off my desk top when I cloned the drive in setting up ext drive. The space at top rt corner went blank, the drive shows in disk utility, startup window, in the finder it shows up as "my Mac Pro'Help"

Hi Group:
In trying to set up an ext Drive for different purpose, I cloned my Macintosh H.D. drive and saved on another drive. Then I cloned the data on the Ext, used my orig. DVD to install sy on it, 4 attempts before it would accept the install. Did a reboot to confirm install no luck, and noticed that the space at top rt of D/T blank, the 2nd,3rd,& 4th bay Drives appeared below a blank space. My Mac H.D. appears in startup window & D/U but in finder Pref it is listed as " my name Mac Pro". The desk top has stayed the same, I can use startup to S/U in all drives with a Sy, including Macintosh H. D. altho no icon or other clue that I am booted in it.
During all my attempts with cloning and saving etc I think I made it invisible. I am not comfortable to try Terminal to find out. I will be totally thankful for all suggestions.
I am using a Mac Pro (2008) with OS 10.6.8
The external drive is on Firewire
I used Disk Utility to set up drive
I used CCC to clone
Thanks Funoptics

go to finder preferences then side bar. make sure hard disk is ticked.

Drive visible in Disk Utility but not Finder. Why?

I have a PowerMac G4 (mirrored drive doors) with 4 hard drives installed. 3 of the drives are set-up in a striped RAID array and the other one is my boot drive with two partitions. One one partition, I have OS X 10.3 and I can see the RAID drive fine. On the other partition, I fresh installed 10.4 but the drive does not appear on the desktop. Strangly, I can see the drive in Disk Utility and it shows me the mount point. I can even unmount and remount it but it still does not show up in the Finder. I had 10.4 server installed prior to the fresh 10.4 (not server) install and that showed it fine. I tried to see the drive in Terminal but also does not appear. Why does my drive appear in Disk Utility but not the Finder?

:-/ Yes, I got the command in completely with the path to the drive like it states in the other post. I have no idea why it didn't recognize the command as I'm not as familiar with UNIX/Linux commands as I'd like to be.
Anyways... I found the cause of the problem (incase it happens to anyone else). Here's what happened:
The ownership on the root of my RAID volume was set to be read/write for me (under my proper username) and no access for anyone else including Admin. When I installed a fresh OS, the default user was Admin (who had no access under the previous OS). If I would've taken the time to set-up my proper account (with the same owner name as my previous OS) then it would've been visible again but since I didn't see it under the default Admin account, I stopped there to troubleshoot. Another way to make it visible was just to change the access privileges from my previous OS to be read/write for other users (or at least Admin). I would think that checking the box for "Ignore ownership on this volume" would've remedied that but for whatever reason, it didn't.
Thank you for all your help. I did learn a little even if it wasn't the direct solution. Now if only I could get Disk Utility to restore my old image without giving me crazy errors... But that's another issue altogether. ;-D

IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!

I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
- I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
- Mac Pro early 2008
- Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
- iTunes 8
Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
What is going on??
I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?

// Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
Very happy to finally have found a solution.
If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
Good luck!

Known problem with Disk Utility formatting Windows NT drive ?

I have had a strange problem while formatting a newly purchased Iomega USB (Seagate) with version 11.1 (252.4) of Disk Utility (OS 10.5.8). The drive was NTSF and I wanted Mac OS extended. The first attempt failed, unfortunately I didn't note the exact message. I tried again and this time D.U. was stuck on on a wait progress bar with message "not a multiple of 4". Disk Warrior reported disk too severly damaged. Only Drive Genius could properly format the drive. Anyone knows what happened?

I'm not sure what caused the problem you observed, but did you first change the partition scheme to a Mac-friendly one before you tried to do the reformat?
Thanks.
Well, no I didn't and I simply applied "erase to Mac OS extended". Maybe there is a change from earlier versions of D.U. So far and as far as I am aware, D.U. would erase a DOS disk and by default choose the Apple partition scheme. But this default setting could have been changed to GUID with the Intel Macs, or even to DOS if the drive is DOS. This option is hidden in further options in the partition settings along with the DOS partition scheme and unless you decide to partition the drive and not just erase it, it is not visible. As a matter of facts, Drive Genius offers the choice between Mac OS and GUID as you erase the disk.
So this could be the culprit, if for instance D.U. erased to Mac OS extended but kept the DOS partition scheme. It seems unlikely though that the developers didn't take that error possibility into account to include a warning of some sort... but that's what I wanted to make sure.

Disk utility / Startup disk is full when hard drive is more than 400 GB available

Hello, I have an iMac and I want to sell it, I wiped it out and reset to factory settings, so it has more than 450GB free, I am running the disk utility to Erase Free Space and to make sure the personal info its completely remove, but it's telling me half way through that my start up disk is full and then the Disk Utility just stops and it wont finish the process, I have to force quit disk utilities
Does someone know how can I fix this? Thank you so much

I was trying to clean up my hard drive and did the same thing. Do you have a file that was created to clean up in your trash? That may be why your hard drive is now full. I am in the process of trying to empty my trash to get rid of that file and the system won't let it erase all the way. I have a question out there for that as well.

"revert" deleted hard drive name in disk utility HELP!!

I booted my wifes macbook pro 10.4.11 in target mode and connected it to my computer, macbook pro 10.5.6 and went into my disk utility to create a partition in the other computer. I used my disk utility from 10.5.6 because for some reason it got erased from the 10.4.11
so I started to do 2 partitions. It said there was not enough room so I clicked on "revert" and for some reason the name of the "macintosh hd" disappeared and I ejected the computer in target mode. Then when I tried to start it up, it just kept flashing a folder with a question mark. I booted again in target mode but still no "indented" "macintosh hd". it seems like it came unmounted maybe?
I have tried starting from x key, resetting pram, trying to load from install disc (which gets to the point where it asks where to install the OS and no HD shows up to choose) and even taking it to the apple store where they said the HD is damaged and/or corrupt. Before trying to reclaim the files, if I can, I wanted to see if anyone had this same issue and if it was solvable. I cant believe that I hit "revert" and it erased my hard drive name and it automatically made my HD corrupt or damaged?
PLEASE help anyone!
or if this is a lost cause, is there a good file recovery program where I can get my WIFES files back! Yeah, I am in trouble.
Thanks!

If anything can be recovered at all, you should quit using the computer asap. The more you use it the more OSX will write over those spots where the files were.
Data Rescue II...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?%20mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover what you can.
BUT, you'll need that other Mac with this one in FW Target Mode
BTW, don't use Leopards Disk Utility to do anything to a Tiger Hard Drive.

Hard Drive Reads in Disk Utility but not in Finder

I have a Seagate FreeAgent hard drive that is configured to NTFS. I use software to read and write to this on my macbook pro. I have plugged my hard drive into my macbook this morning and it will only read in Disk Utility, and not show up at all in Finder. I have plugged it into another macbook and have the same thing. Tried to do disk repair and it said it was repaired and operating normally, but still not opening in Finder. I also tried it on a Dell running XP and same thing, doesn't open as a folder but shows as operating normally in the XP's disk utility equivalent. I have tried finding an answer elsewhere but can't come up with anything. Besides taking it for data recovery, is there anything else I can do or try to fix without compromising the data?

You might get more help were you to post in something like the MacBook or OS X forum. This forum is for OS 9, an archived Apple Macintosh operating system.
That said, it sounds like your drive might be dead. When you say that you can see it in Disk Utility, you mean that it shows up in the column on the left? When you repair it, can you hear the drive spinning up?
Can you try making an image of the drive to see what happens?

No hard drive found on disk utility while booting from OS X dvd

My Macbook crashed recently, the screen wouldn't give me video when I opened the lid from closing it earlier and the fan was doing its ominous thing with getting louder and louder. I had to force shut down. On restarting it wouldn't boot beyond the infamous grey screen, where the loading sign eventually turned into the prohibitory sign. I found a support article and worked my way through safe boot, various resets to eventually booting from the OS X dvd (Leopard 10.6.??), at which point (according to the article), I was supposed to perform a disk utility check. Except that in disk utility nothing shows up except for the software dvd, no hard drive or anything else to be seen. On checking the system profiler I found that "there was an error while scanning for serial ATA devices" (which I found out means hard drive :-P).
What do I do from here? I haven't been able to find a support article that deals with this exact situation, what more can I try to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

That means the drive needs to be repartitioned if it's still functional. See:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Viewing disk partitions made using Disk Utility in Windows

So, I took a USB external hard drive and partitioned it into two volumes using Disk Utility. I made sure to format them in MS-DOS format so they are FAT16 and can be recognized by Windows. I then took the hard drive and plugged it into my Windows computer. The first partition showed up just fine in my F: drive, but I'm not sure where the second partition is. When I plug it into my Mac, both volumes appear on my Desktop, but only the first one shows up in the Computer folder of my Windows computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

What does it look like in Windows Disk Management?
Click Start (if you're on XP then click run) and type "diskmgmt.msc" without the quotes (on XP click OK, anything after XP click on the program), then in the bottom window (where it says Disk 0 Basic disk etc) find your external drive, what do the partitions look like?
It might be that windows isn't mounting that partition for some reason.

External HFS encrypted password change & Drive mounting in Disk Utility without password

I have two questions:
1. I have an external HFS encyrpted drive that was encrypted via Mavericks Disk Utility. I have the password for it in 1password but I cannot cut and paste it when it attempts to mount. It is a very long password and it would not be practical to type it manually. It seems that Apple does not permit pasting such passwords (I have also tried to copy the password to a sticky note and then into the drive mount password prompt with no results, thus it is not unique to 1Password). At any rate, to remedy this situation, I would like to change the password to something smaller and memorizable (which is very very unfortunate as I find this a gaping security issue for who, in their right mind will manualy type in a 60 character password every time?). I have not been able to locate a method to change this external drive's password. Any assistance would be greatly apprecaiated.
2. Alarmingly, I AM able to mount the drive WITHOUT entry of the password if I do a verify disk and repair disk. This is horrifying. This means that without any password someone can mount the drive just by running these utilities.
Thanks in advance.

You wrote: "It's definitely formatted for windows...I have Disk Warrior, but it doesn't see my drive "DiskWarrior only works on disks in Mac OS formats, e.g. "Mac OS Extended" (aka HFS Plus or HFS+), "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." It won't fix disks in MS-DOS/FAT32 format.
There are PC-specific disk utilities, akin to DiskWarrior for Mac, so if you have a PC as well, a PC disk utility might help repair the directory corruption if run from a PC.
External drives, whether they're formatted for PCs or Macs, can be subject to the same causes of directory corruption discussed in See my "Data corruption and loss: causes and avoidance" FAQ. Some of those causes have nothing to do with hardware failure and many are preventable.
Good luck!

2nd Hand iMac wont boot. Tried "repairing drive" in recoveryHD disk utility but doesn't fully pass through. HELP! :(

I have just purchased a second hand mac from Gumtree as Im eager to get into the beauty that is OS X.
But when I try and boot it will just stay at the apple logo with the spinning bar.
I booted into the recoveryHD with COMMAND+R and launched disk utility, I then proceeded to click "repair disk" on Macintosh HD.
It hangs for a while but then says "The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely" and then says ERROR:Disk utility cant repair this disk, backup as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk and restore your backed-up files.
I then tried to "re-install OS X Mavericks" but I need an apple ID with Mavericks purchased (please note I am on a windows machine and cant do this).
I've tried calling 133 622 but apparently their phones aren't on from 9am-9pm as stated (It's currently 7:30pm).
This is turning me off Macs as this sort of stuff should not just "happen" and due to apples "no windows support" views I cant actually do anything.

Mavericks is a free OS yes? If theres a way I can get it as a purchase on my Apple ID I can download and restore. I was just wondering whether there was a way to restore from the recoveryHD
And as for the no windows support, their OS X utilities image for USB is only available as a .dmg so I cant use that tool to recover from the recovery partition

Hard Drive Issue? Disk Utility issue?

Nothing to worry about.

Nothing - Apple will need to clean this up, which they will probably do with some future update. In the meantime, there's no need to worry about any of the above.

External hard drive seen in Disk Utility, but will not mount.

My external hard drive has power and is spinning, but will not mount. It was fine yesterday. It shows up in Disk Utility and is verified and repaired. Tried the drive on 2 other macs with same result. Tried a new enclosure and that did not work. Tried all ports...usb and firewire. Any way to save my data?
I have screen shot of the partition info from Disk Utility for the hard drive included:

Hi Dominic,
If this is still not mounting, it may be worth trying a PRAM reset...
