How do I fix aLaCie Backup Drive that runs constantly after Maverick upgrade

LaCie backup drive for time machine runs constaantly after Maverick upgrade.  This is using resources and slows the processor

After installing Mavericks on my one year old iMac (loaded) Time Machine failed (Pegasus Promise Thunderbolt 3TB).  I tried unmounting it, didn't work.  Rebooted: Time Machine failed again [Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Machine”. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.] was the only message. Had to reboot to get Pegusus accessible again.  Tried re-intalling Maverick (old Microsoft thing... reintall the OS).  Didin't do anything for Time Machine, same failure.  Booted into safe mode: nothing, same probelm.  Repaired permissions: no joy there either.  So, now have no Time Machine backups at all. And Time Machine won't work with the Pegasus. [same error message after 30 min or so every time].  ordinary file saves work fine though.
Ideas please?

  • How can i fix dvd ram driver, that says "a driver(service) for this device has been disabled code 32

    how can i fix  my pc problems, Idon't see dvd/cd name listed in "Devices and printer" window. And when I do hp dvd/cd rom check,
    an dilog box opens up; sayes "A driver(service) for this devices may be disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (code 32). Please help. Thank you.

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • External (Backup) Drive No Longer Recognized After Mavericks

    Since installing Mavericks on my iMac (was running Snow Leopard) I can only see partial information from my WD My Book Live external backup drive.  Finder lets me see the two partitions but only some of the files on that drive.  However, the Disk Utility does not see the external drive at all.  This is mostly impacting Time Machine which also does not seem to recognize the external drive at all.  I cannot enter Time Machine to access my old backups and cannot create new ones.
    I would prefer not to re-format the external drive since it has other files on it that I don't want to lose.
    All helpful suggestions appreciated!

       PROBLEM SOLVED! It was as simple as going to the WD (Western Digital) site and downloading a few updates for the My Book Live.
    You need to NOT connect any WD MyBook right now under Mavericks, you have a high likelihood of severe data corruption
    WD is telling its customers to REMOVE WD SOFTWARE especially on WD MyBook
    keep your WD MY BOOK unconnected right now until a resolution unless you have a backup of ALL DATA on your MyBook stored elsewhere

    External Drives for Mac Experiencing Data Loss with Maverick OS (10/30/13)
    There are reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9).  Western Digital is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications.
    Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications on their systems before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading.  If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. WD has removed these software applications from our web site solely as a precaution as we investigate this issue.

  • DVD drive won't work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, and ever since, my CD/DVD drive will not work.  Discs spin, but then they are ejected.  Doesn't matter what type of disc I put in.
    The drive was working fine before I upgraded.  I have reset the SMC and the NVRAM/PRAM, but the drive still isn't working.
    Any suggestions for what else I can try?

    Others here wouldnt recommend it, but on a new OS install, since I have a giant pile of HD, ...i just grab another HD and create a new fresh Time Machine backup
    after its complete, I take the original HD with the OLD backup and format/erase it.
    Im a tad too lazy to wait, as you yourself mentioned,  1 hour for TM just to PREPARE to backup. Nope, no,...not gonna do it.
    I updated 4 Macs to Mavericks and id rather make a wholly NEW Time Machine backup on another HD and erase the original.
    Since I keep about 12+ redundant archives of my important data, I have no worry on earth of ever losing data.
    Time machine is a backup, NOT an archive for vital data.

  • Backup drive no longer working after Lion upgrade

  • I have a MacPro with two 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

    I purchased a MacPro and upgraded to 2 1T hard drives.  How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

    Have you formatted these new drives yet with Disk Utility?  That is the first step.
    Once they are formatted, if you want to see them on your desktop open the Finder preferences, General, and clock the checkbox that says "Show these items on the desktop" for the hard disks.  If that preference was already set you should see the drives appear after they are formatted.  Then they are there for you to use as you wish.

  • HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    What do you mean by "Close?"
    Eject??
    If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
    Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

  • How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12? [was: Help please =) ]

    How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12?

    Try this:
    Duplicate the background layer, and convert this layer to black/white (ALT+CTRL+B)
    Select the young lady's face, and place this on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
    Open a Brightness/contrast layer at the top and group the top 2 layers (CTRL+G). Work the brightness and contrast sliders so that the 2 gray scale layers match as much as possible
    Keep the face layer, but delete the duplicated grayscale layer below
    Change the blending mode of the face layer to luminosity
    With the eyedropper tool, sample color from the original skin
    Open a blank layer at the top, and change blending mode to color
    Paint over the face to match colors. Touch up additional spots as needed, e.g.hand
    Add a levels adjustment layer and work the sliders below the histogram to best advantage
    Sharpen slightly

    The issue with ATP- it’s not sourcing from the ware house, even though the sourcing rules defined the correct warehouse. When we enter manually and progress –order is progressing.

    First, you will need to navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPhone, select the Apple ID that is signed in, and then sign out. Please use the attached article for more information on this first step. 
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

    My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2.

    is that really what it is?  this is the native iphone weather app.  the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
    is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then?  i guess there's no fix?
    thanks for your help by the way.
