LG USB drive won't (auto)mount

Hi guys,
This is my first post, and I'm not sure if this thread goes here, but anyways, I have a problem with my LG USB External Drive.
Ok, this is what happened. When I connected the drive the activity LED turned on but the volume didn't appear in Thunar, so I went to check if it was at least detected but neither GParted nor lsusb show the USB disk listed. I connected the drive to a netbook with Xubuntu 9.10 and it automounts correctly, also in the same netbook with Windows 7. I've been looking for information about evdev, udev, HAL and Xorg but I couldn't fix the error. The drive worked sporadically one month ago, but I reinstalled Arch and now it won't work.
Here is all the additional data.
* Desktop Environment: XFCE 4.6.1
* lsusb:

This is all I have (or I think so).
Thanks in advance

    I have an eee pc with xfce and slim.
    I know this is a perimssion problems since auto mount works fine for root. Could anyone tell me the (probably simple) fix for this? Thanks.

    HAL:

    Also check your .xinitrc and make sure your lines matches this:
    exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
    Lastly, you can also use udev to automount your drives:

  • External hard drive and SD card won't auto mount

    I am using MBP with retina on Yosemite. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013).
    On Maverick, all my external drives used to auto mount. The same was true just after Yosemite was installed. Lately, only my Time Machine hard drive auto mounts and others don't, e.g. my backup drive that I use with Super Duper! and my camera SD card. I have to go to disk utility and mount them manually. I did not see any option for auto mount in disk utility.
    Could you please guide me on how to get auto mount back?
    Thanks in advance

    I have been dealing with this same issue for the past several months. Running a Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. This problem occurs when I plug in Firewire, USB, or SD card. The external hardware appear to be working fine, it has to be either a setting, or a quirk that needs corrected with Yosemite. I have run all OS systems since Snow Leopard. Never had this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

  • External USB drive won't mount after 10.9.5 upgrade

    Is anyone else reporting the following issue?  Immediately after installing OS X update 10.9.5 (13F34) on 09/18, my external USB drive (IOMega 1GB OS X Extended FS) used for Time Machine would no longer mount and isn't recognized.  When I look at the drives in finder, it is missing.  However, it does show up under the USB Hi-Speed Bus device tree:

    I have reinstalled the combined 10.9.5 OS upgrade, and verified that the drive works when connected to my other MB Pro (mid-2012 running Yosemite beta 3).  There is no third party software that I'm aware of in use for this drive, as it's only for Time Machine backups.

    Is the drive's icon on the desktop (perhaps behind another icon, which is possible if Finder > View > Cleanup is enabled)?
    If not, is the box Finder > Preferences > General > External Disks checked?
    Is the drive listed in every Finder window's sidebar?
    If not, is the box Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > External Disks checked?
    Are Time Machine backups to the drive happening on schedule?
    If not, does the drive appear in System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk?
    Can you open /Volumes/Mac-Mini 2/Backups.backupdb using Finder > Go > Go to Folder...?
    Does the drive appear in Disk Utility? Is it (or can it be) mounted there?
    Have you tried to plug it in to a USB port on the Mini (not a hub) or into a different USB port on the Mini?
    Have you tried this: shut down; unplug the drive; boot the Mac; after you have logged in and the Finder is done populating the desktop and menu bar, plug the drive in?

  • Separate /var resiserfs partition on usb drive won't mount on boot

    It has mounted successfully a few times.  I set it up because I don't want /var on my Revodrive, and I've added a label (var) to the partition.  I've tried mounting at first by UUID, then label, then strictly by dev (which isn't an option considering the number of block devices I have attached at any given time).
    I have to manually mount var afterward, and this causes all sorts of hal problems with KDE, such as not being able to see my hard drives in Dolphin.
    Any ideas?  I have another mechanical HDD that I'm going to be using as a download drive, so I could locate var there if needed.

I think it is needed to be able to boot from a usb disk. (You'll have to run "mkinitcpio -p kernel26" afterwards.)
    That makes sense.  I actually prefer using the sata drive as /var, but I was just interested as to why it wasn't mounting. 
    BTW I have GRUB and boot installed on the same USB drive (from which I boot), then it mounts the root and home partitions on my OCZ Revodrive.  This drive is essentially fakeraid with an sil satalink controller, and I was never able to get grub installed on the dmraid setup.  I just gave up.  It actually works quite well though.

  • Time Capsule external USB drive won't reconnect remotely over Back To My Mac

    I'm running a Mac Mini at work, connected via ethernet to an enterprise network (I have no idea what routers they are using, or how they are set up).
    At home, I have a MBP laptop and a Time Capsule (hardwired to cable modem) with an external USB drive attached.
    All 3 machines (Mac Mini, MBP, TC via Airport Utility) have Back To My Mac switched on.
    I can access the external USB drive on my home TC from my work Mac Mini....until the Mini falls asleep. When I wake it back up, the connection back to the TC fails. However....after restarting the Mini, the connection works again.
    My first thought was that the corporate network / firewall / etc was causing the problem - not leaving correct ports open, or someting to that effect. However, I realised that if that were the case, restarting the Mini shouldn't help, but it does.
    Does anyone have any idea how sleeping breaks being able to access a TC's external drive remotely over BTMM?
    The Mac Mini is a 2.3GHz Core i5 with 8GB RAM and plenty of HD space.
    The MBP is a 15" late 2013 retina, 2.6 GHz Core i7, 16 GB RAM, also plenty of HD space.
    The TC is a 2 TB 4th generation model.
    Thanks!

    Sorry that did not work. This works well for me using Lacie drives, but I haven't tried Iomega.
    Have you checked Iomega's site to see if any software/firmware updates available?
    Also noticed during a quick search that a number of users are reporting mounting problems with Iomega. Not sure if this applies to you or not.

  • External USB Drive very slow to Mount

    Hi, I have an iBook G4 and I recently bought an 80GB external USB 2.0 drive.
    The problem I am having is that it takes a long time for the drive to mount. After I plug it into the USB port it takes 2 - 5 minutes for it to actually show up on my desktop. On occasion it doesn't even mount at all and I have to unplug and re-plug the USB drive and wait another 2- 5 minutes with my fingers crossed. Once it does mount it works just fine. I can transfer back and forth, run video off of it and run apps off of it. If I have the drive plugged in before I boot up I see the drive mounted after I log in, also just fine.
    My question is how can I get rid of that initial delay? What am I doing wrong?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The problem lies with occasional dropouts that can corrupt the library's database files if they are being written to as the time of dropout.  It's the nature of wireless networks.  If you have a very strong signal throughout and are willing to take a chance then go for it.
    But as for the speed, it must be iPhoto 11 and it's complexity causing the slowness. I had tried using a library on an EHD connected to my iMac from my laptop wirelessly with iPhoto 7 or 8 and it was pretty fast.  I think it was 7 before faces and places came into being.
    Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to improve wireless performance, etc.

  • Apple mobile device USB Driver won't install (Code 37) on my 7th Generation iPod Nano

    As a result, iTunes won't detect my iPod. But the iPod will charge when I plug it in to my comp, and there is an iPod folder in "My Computer". But after installing iTunes, it no longer says “connected” on the iPod (even though it still charges it). And, in Device manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark that appears in the DVD/CD-ROM drive directly after installing iTunes – there is also a yellow mark next to “Apple mobile device USB Driver” when my iPod is plugged in. For both, it says “Code 37.” I know how to fix the DVD/CD-ROM drive problem (by deleting the filters) but the Apple driver still won't install after that. I've tried troubling shooting this. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. And I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, too, and every time I reinstall iTunes the same thing happens: my iPod no longer says “connected on the screen,” and the  DVD/CD-ROM drive gets code 37 again. Also, I tried different USB cables/ports.
    Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I think I've already read a lot of troubleshooting guides on this site, but haven't had any success so far.

    Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by “leaving all other USB devices disconnected”? Does that include my mouse, keyboard, etc? And does that mean I uninstall those things in the device manager?

  • My USB drive won't show up on my MacBook Pro (2012 non retina)

    Okay, so I have 2 Macs.  2012 MacBook Pro, and a PPC iMac G4. I want to load music onto my USB drive, but it dosen't show up on my MacBook Pro. My iMac can read the USB without a problem, but the MacBook Pro will not. Iv'e made sure to check off everything in Finder Preferences, and also reveal everything in the Finder Side Bar, but still nothing will happen. I even tried looking for it in Disk Utility, and still nothing. Please Help.

    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • My usb drive won't connect to my macbook anymore.

    It says:
    MAC OS X can't repair the disk:
    you can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.
    How would i go about?

    Follow the second part of the advice your Mac gave you. Since you can still copy files, I would advise you to back up the data on it and put the data onto something else, maybe another USB drive or external hard drive. Data storage is quite cheap.
    To back up your data, buy a new USB drive that's the same size (or larger) than the one you've got at the moment. Then just plug the old USB drive and the new USB drive in (If you have 2 USB drives) and copy the files over by dragging them.

  • External USB drive won't mount without running Repair Disk

    I have a Seagate external USB hard drive.  It's a 1TB FreeAgent drive  that's USB powered.  I use this to share data across several computers.  Every time I connect the drive to my MacBook Pro, it does not mount.  If I try to mount it, I'm told to "try running first aid".
    So, I run repair disk, and then it will mount.  I just did this, and Repair Disk reported "The volume /dev/disk1s1 appears to be OK".
    Any help on this matter would be appreciated.  It is formated NTFS, and I have an NTFS driver installed, if that makes any difference.
    Thank you!

  • N70 USB driver no longer auto-loaded by Windows

    Hi! I've been using PCSuite without problem, until the latest version 6.8. I gave me the infamous init MediaControl problem which took me 3 hours to fix in the end. However, although now the problem is gone, windows no longer automatically loads the driver for N70's usb connection.
    In previous cases, the moment I plug in my phone N70 the first time after installing new PCS, Windows will popup "N70 found" and automatically install various drivers. But now after the N70 found message, the Driver Wizard appears, asking for the location of the driver (just like normal case of other hardware installation). Although I managed to manually point each portions to the respective .inf files under Windows\System32\DRVStore\XXX, it just doesn't behave like before. I tried to plug in my old 6230 and the same things happen, ie. need to manually point each portion to inf files under Windows\System32\DRVStore\XXX
    Here's what I've tried for PCS
    - Reinstall
    - Uninstall from control panel, reinstall
    - Repair
