Macbook pro OS update cause mobile HD file loss

I have updated the OS to mavericks for months, everything was fine. after recent update, I realize that part of my documents on my mobile HD was lost! And now all my mobile HDs can't be used on my macbook pro any more(i got one WD, WD PASSPORT AND Lacie)! Is there any way that can fix the problems and get my files recovered?

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • Login screen on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault is extremely slow (suttering)

    Hi
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault on OS X Mavericks. When I boot up the mac freshly it takes quite long to get to the initial login screen (which as I understand is a pre-boot login provided by the recovery partition if File Vault is enabled). However, what is even more bothering me is that once I get to this screen, the whole UI is behaving extremely slow. The mouse makes jumps of a few inches on the screen and the animations (e.g. if you click a user and then an animation shows the password entry field) are running in slow motion and only update every few seconds. Typing the password afterwards runs smothly again (altought for example moving the mouse at this point still behaves as described before). After loggin in to the account OS X runs fine without any hicks. Can anyone give me a hit what this could be and how I could resolve this?
    This has already been done:
    Reset PRAM
    Boot into recovery partition and run repaired disk and disk permissions
    Run all OS X maintenance operations and cleared caches using OnyX
    What I could imagine is that somehow the recovery partition is damaged (which as I understand is used to boot to the login screen if File Vault is enabled).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just ordered a Retina MacBook Pro11,2 (mid-2014 15", 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OSX 10.9.4 Pre-installed - Build 13E28)  and have the exact same issue.  The first thing I did when i booted it for the first time was enable FileValut2 and encrypt the disk.  Though I failed to notice this behavior prior to encrypting the disk, the stuttering/lag happens without fail every time I have logged in from a cold boot, locked screen or sleep. Additionally I have noticed the same stuttering behavior when switching tabs on various built-in OSX applications such as the tabs on the About This Mac > More Info.... (System Information) dialog for example, and similarly other dialogs that experience this behavior of resizing when switching tabs. I was running no other software than About This Mac > More Info ... (System Information) and OSX 10.9.4 itself.  The issue happens without fail with and without a USB mouse plugged in.
    I am really glad to have found this thread and with such recent posts.  I'd love to find out that this is just a software bug that will be fixed when OSX 10.10 "Yosemite" is released.  If not, I hope the cause of this bug is determined soon so I can still exchange or have it repaired.
    Migflono and Matthew, would you be able to post your hardware specs for comparison? 

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS.  The screen died and it's not worth replacing.  How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS.  The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model.  I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need?  What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases.  How can I accomplish this?
    My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive.  Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
    I know this is lengthy.  Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

    the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
    A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later.  A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
    The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

  • MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 - Freeze

    Hi all,
    Facts:
    model: MacBookPro8,1
    OS: OS X 10.7.5
    Story:
    i got a Macbook Pro 8,1 (13,3" Early 2011) which worked flawlessly - until yesterday.
    Yesterday I decided to install the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626) - a bit unusual for me, since i normally wait a few weeks until others tried such an update. I did nothing in parallel on my mac, just the update. After the installation process i rebooted my system to finish the update process, the scm update installation run, everything seemed to went fine.
    But shortly after the login process, my System froze and i had to hard shutdown my macbook. The first 3 or 4 attempts to only switch on my computer i got only a flashing indicator led, as usual, but not display output, no start sound, nothing. I waited a few minutes, tried again, the system started to boot until the login window, but i had no time to input my credentials - the system froze again.
    Since a got a bit computer experience, it's my day job, i first thought of a bad RAM. So i replaced it with two totally new ones (Corsair Mac Memory) and some older original Apple RAM, but nothing changed. I did the same with the harddisk, even i don't think it's related to a harddrive failure because of the symptoms, while trying to install a fresh OS - the system froze again.
    After that i tried everything Apple proposed: SMC reset multiple times, NVRAM/PRAM reset multiple times, but nothing helped in my case.
    So the current state is as follows:
    - The system freezes everytime, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. But normally within 10 seconds. (I observed, the longer the computer stays off, the later the freeze appears). After a hard shutdown, i've to wait a few minutes to get the computer to display anything.
    - I read the log files after installing the harddrive to another computer (it works fine there), but there seems nothing special (i could post it, if somebody need it). The system just stops responding.
    I think, it MUST be related to the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6, because i had no problems at all before this firmware update, problems started after it.
    Is anybody out there, who has another suggestion for me, or has the same symptoms?
    G,
    NoWay

    I have MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) and similar problem (gray screen, system not start, noisy fan, etc.)
    I applied last SMC firmware update 1.6
    as a result I have unworking MacBook Pro.
    When I have been looking table http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 I am realised that link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626 on update for MacBookPro8,1 1.68f99 (SMC 1.6) and for MacBookPro7,1 1.62f7 (SMC 1.6)  is same. And then I booted from Installation Disk1 with 10.6.4 and saw that my version of SMC is 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7.
    In my opinion it's the main reason of our common problem. Apple released not correct SMC update and this update made briks from our MacBook Pro!!!

  • MacBook Pro Software Update Results in Singlu-User Mode

    Hello,
    Since I have had problems before with Software update, I have decided to install one item at a time to find out which update packages cause problems.
    When I installed the latest "MacBook Pro Software Update", which is strongly recommended, I ended up getting stuck with the single-user mode and now I cannot get out. When I boot, I get a console instead of a Graphical User Interface. I am really tired of Tiger. I have used Linux for the past 9 years and found it to be excellent. I expected much more from Mac OS X when I first bought my system two weeks ago. I already did an "Archive and Reinstall" and I don't want to do it again.
    How can I go back to the usual GUI environment?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    K.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    K.

    Hello,
    Here is the solution to the problem. It is simply due to XCode installation. For some reason, one needs to perform the "MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0" after an "Archive + Install" before installing any other software.
    If Xcode is installed before the update, something gets messed and the computer keeps booting to a Console instead of the GUI.
    Hope this helps to others,
    K.

  • Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0?

    On versiontracker.com, there is an update called Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0. The desciption says:
    "This update enables file system journaling on MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers. Some MacBook and MacBook Pro systems were shipped with file system journaling turned off. Journaling is recommended on all Mac computers as a preventative measure against file corruption."
    It is recommended for Mid 2007 MacBooks
    I ran the Software Updater on my MacBook which I bought in June and this update did not come up as needed. Has anyone else installed this? If it does not come up in the Updater, does that mean I don't need it?
    Thom

    Thom you might try going to Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility->click on the name of your HD (probably something like "Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) in the left had corner and look at the bottom of the window under "Format:" It should read "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" If that's the case then you probably don't need to worry about it.

  • MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 continues to appear

    This has been the first really strange issue since I upgraded to Leopard. Ever since the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 in Software Update, it continues to appear as if it was not installed. If I look at my installation log, it shows that I have installed it about 9 times since it was released. Here are the last few entries in my installation log:
    2007-12-21 22:17:05 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)

    2008-01-05 22:32:22 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)
    Is it safe to ignore this update? What is going on? Is there something wrong with my system? I haven't noticed any other problems.. I have no idea how Mac OS X determines if I need an update or not.

    OK, here's what i did:
    1) navigate to the: /Library/Updates sub-directory
    (as in: "Macintosh HD" - "Library" folder - "Updates" folder
    2) there should be a file named, "index.plist" - this is
    the definition file for the update - i suspect this should
    be removed by the Updater once the update is complete.
    3) rename the file (don't delete it) ... i renamed the
    file to, "index.plist.onhold"
    you probably don't have to, but i rebooted the system, to
    ensure nothing broke. afterwards, i did a "Software Update"
    and it reported the system is up to date.

  • MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 Refuses to Install

    Ok well I have a very annoying problem. Since the 18th, I've been getting daily notices about the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 thing, and daily I have been saying "OK, go ahead and interrupt what I'm doing, install it and then leave me alone." And then the next day, I get yet another message saying i need to install it.
    Needless to say, this is highly annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm getting the same behavior. I'm not sure but I think this may be related to whether the FIRST time you encounter this update, you opt to restart later rather than right away. Perhaps you can verify whether this was the approach you took as well. In any event, no number of restarts now of my MacBook Pro with 10.5.1 will prevent me from getting yet another message that the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 is waiting to be downloaded and installed.
    I assume Leopard has left largely unchanged the practice of placing a record of updates in its /Library/Receipts directory. If the properties of this directory change, such that it prevents it from being updated, this could lead Apple's "Software Update" utility to think software has never been installed when perhaps it has been installed after all.
    I would consider also that perhaps the SoftwareUpdate.plist file may be questionable. I notice that while almost all other plist files in /Library/Preferences list "root" as the owner, the SoftwareUpdate.plist lists my own user name as the owner.
    I think commands such as chown and chmod may become our best friend where this apparent bug is concerned; but I recognize that all the foregoing speculation on my part is a longshot.
    I welcome the comments of others who encounter this behavior.

  • MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 keeps updating everyday...

    The MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 (keyboard update) keeps updating everyday even after successfully completing. Is this a known issue?
    thanks,
    graham

    Thanks for the help folks. I found the issue. The reason that this is occurring is that someone mistakenly named a file 'PlugIns' versus 'Plugins' or the script is wrong (one or the other). If you have a case-sensitive drive it will keep looking for the update. The solution is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
    The solution creates a file called 'Plugins', which simply points to the real file named 'PlugIns'.
    It appears the Apple QA folks forgot to put case-sensitives drive formats into their test matrix. I hope they remedy this in the future.

  • MacBook Pro - all updates - Facetime initiates call but disconnects before call is connected

    MacBook Pro - all updates - Facetime initiates call but disconnects before call is connected

    Does your mic work in System Preferences?
    System Preferences > Sound > Input
    There is an Input Level meter that should light up when you talk. Just to make sure your mic and Mac are working.
    Which mic are you using? Are  you using the built in mic on an Apple Display? I have Apple's LED display and every time I use Facetime, as in place or take a call, the mic input volume gets reset to a level so low, people can't hear me. I have to manually raise the mic volume back to where I had set it. When I end the call, Facetime resets the volume back to where I set it. If I don't reset the mic volume level on each and every call, people can't hear me.
    I called Apple on this. They downloaded a log file tool to my Mac and took some logs. Then they called me back and said this works as designed. Incredible.
    So, if you are using Apple's LED display, this may be your problem. Note that the mic volume level gets set low and reset back only during a call. If you check it before a call and then after a call, it looks fine as if nothing changed. Open up the Sound prefernces and watch it get reset in real time.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.
