I was using an external hard drive to store video with my MAC. I absent mindedly connected the external drive to a Windows PC and now my mac will not recognize the video files.

convert my video files back to a mac recognizable format on external hard drive.

What did you do to the drive while connected to a Windows PC?

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

  • I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years.  All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location.  But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

    You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
    You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

  • My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD.

    My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD to install the OS package. It would boot for a while, get through the first cd of install and would stop randomly in the next install. I found out that the installation disk was cracked so I went out and purchased the Mac Box Set which includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 under advisement from an associate at the local apple store. Now, I try installing this new OS disk and all I get is the apple logo without a spinning wheel for about 10 minutes and the computer restarts and does it again. I have tried booting from disk, holding c while starting up, and in safemode, holding shift while booting. Please help save my poor poor macbook!!!

    These errors look like corrupt or missing files that leopard requires. It sound like you need to start from scratch: format your drive, reload Leopard. I realize that this is probably what you are trying to do.
    If you cannot boot from install DVD and cannot successfully get into Safemode or Single usermode (due to a corrupt or incomplete install) then you will need another computer to assist you.
    If you can get it into Target Disk Mode and have another Mac you could plug it into that Mac and reformat it.
    If it will not go into TDM then you may need to take it out and put it into an external enclosure to plug into another Mac to format it.

  • I had to install a new hard drive on my macbook air and now I am getting unkown error whenever I try to login to itunes

    I had to install a new hard drive on my macbook air and now I am getting unkown error whenever I try to login to itunes. Apple support suggested I reset my password so I did that and still the problem is occuring. Itunes and the app store are working normally on my ipad and iphone. Does anyone know what the problem is. The new disk was installed in France coz I am on holiday there. could there be something I need to change in my settings? I need help urgently as I am trying to finish an assignment and need to be able to access and download from icloud.

  • Switched MB Pros, Used TMachine to Migrate NOW New MB Will Not Recognize ..

    Just switched from previous gen MB Pro to new MB PRo...Used TMachine to back up and Migrate NOW new MB will not recognize my "old" MB archive and wants to start a new TMachine archive.
    New machine has name "name (2)" and old machine was "name". Is there someway to let T Machine "know" that I want to use the same archive to maintain continuity?

    As Mr. Boyd says, TM has been enhanced in Snow Leopard to let you do this easily, but it's a problem in Leopard.
    Some folks have tried the procedure in #C8 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum. It may not work well, or at all, in this case, since it's two rather different Macs, not the same Mac with a new logic board.

  • I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

      I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

    That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

    Something is wrong with your charger or cable.

  • Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki><br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
