Mountain Lion destroys 3 external hard drives any reason why?

New Mac Book Pro Retina, Mountain Lion OS a all updates.  Each external USB hardrive including the main back up 3TB external
blows apart with a message  you can no longer read or write to this drive, the exteranl, back it up immediately.  Go to do that
it rebooted and now that drive as well as 2 others are not accessible.
I have put 2 of the externals on my older Mac Book and I can get them to mount, and had to buy a new 4TB exteranal for
backing up the older externals. I don't dare put that new one on the Mountian Lion new Mac Book Pro
as I already lost years of work on the 3TB drive that will not mount at all.  Something is terribly wrong
with this box or the OS  Anyone have any guidance?  I dread having all my externals and I have many that hold scads of my
work, etc.  The 3T may not be repairable as I can't get it to be seen by any other G5Duo or Mac Books 2 different ones
all run on Snow lepoard
Help?

As far as the older drives go, all may not be lost.
It is possible that the USB interface in the box may
be somehow hosed and the drive itself may be fine.
You could pull the old drive out of the case and use
one of the many USB->SATA adapters and hook up to
the another computer.  This would at least tell you if
you have lost all your data.  Make sure you get one
with external powering like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002
Or if somehow the drive is corrupted, at least try to use
some recovery software to get te data back.  If the drive
is good, you can put it in another case.  If you have that
much at stake, you have nothing to lose but a few bucks
(price of a good meal soewhere) by trying this.
BTW, what brand are these HDDs?  Mountain Lion in and
of itself should not be causing the drives to be unreadable.
There may be a serious hardware issue with the MBP.

    Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Thanks.  I'd like to get rid of this OSX 9 after retrieving a few files.  If I wanted to erase it's hard drive before I do so, would powering off then on again and immediately start tapping the F10 button do the trick as it does with a PC?

  • Unable to install Mountain Lion on my hard drive

    I'm trying to upgrade my early 2008 mac pro from Leopard to Mountain Lion using a bootable usb drive but I'm having trouble doing so.  When I try installing mountain lion to my hard drive (Mac Drive 1) - The hard drive is greyed out and says 'you can't upgrade this version of OS X'.  Yet it looks like I can install mountain lion onto my second hard drive (Mac Drive 2) for some odd reason. 
    Here's the details for my mac drive 1 which I'm having trouble with (I noticed the volume format is greyed out on disk utility as well).....
    And here's the mac drive 2 info which I don't want to install mountain lion onto but looks like I can....
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks a lot.

    I can't answer the bad hard drive question without some guessing. Not that smart.
    Do you have a bootable copy of the Mountain Lion installer?
    If not download the following. The site says it will work with 10.6:
    http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/
    That program will allow you to make a bootable DVD or USB with Mountain Lion on it.
    You can boot off of it, erase the disk, and then install Mountain Lion.
    I think you should be able to reinstall from carbon copy cloner, but I haven't used that program.  During the setup it will ask you if you want to import files, but I don't know if it can read carbon copy cloner. I know it can read a Time Machine backup.
    A clean install is generally better anyway.
    If you get Mountain Lion installed, not everything works like it did in 10.5/10.6. For an example, scrolling is reversed, but you can change it back to the way it is in 10.5/10.6 in System Preferences. After spending some time in System Preferences, my computer acts pretty much the way it always did.

  • When installing to Lion, should external hard drives be disconnected?

    I want to install Lion on my iMac. It is currently running version 10.6.8. I have 3 external hard drives connected to the iMac. Should I disconnect them before installing Lion? Thanks...

    No need to disconnect any external drives. The Lion installer will let you choose which volume to install to.

    I know, that when it comes for asking the same questionnaire in all my forums all over again..its get a little bothersome, right???
    Yes it does. Once is enough.
    Your Tibook only has USB 1.1 ports, not USB 2 ports. You would be insane to buy a USB drive to use with it, unless you also buy a USB 2 adapter card for your CardBus slot. But we've already been all through that with you, in one of the dozen or more threads you've started while spinning your wheels and repeating yourself for the last three weeks.
    If you can only find one drive for $69.99, and $69.99 is the most you're willing to spend, then your choice is already made, and you don't need any other recommendations.
    There aren't a lot of people reading or responding to questions in the Tibook Discussions any more. If you look through the forums, you'll see that it's fairly unusual for more than three or four different people to post in any given thread lately. The likelihood that you will get a wide variety of responses to any question posted here is pretty small. That's too bad, perhaps, but that's the way it is.

  • How do I install Lion on external hard drive? I have purchased and downloaded through App Store but do not know where the download is located so I can install.

    I want to install Lion on an external hard drive. The OS was purchased and downloaded through the App Store but I do not know where the file is.

    If you downloaded the installer it will be in your applications folder. Failing that use spotlight start typing Install and it should show up.
    This is assuming you downloaded the installer from the app store, and didn't just install it onto your mac. If all you have done is install it on your mac. Go to your purchases Lion should show up. Then click download.
    Here is the Support page for installing osx on an external drive.
    OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support
    Hope this helps.

  • Snow Leopard and Lion on external hard drive

    I successfully installed Snow Leopard on an external hard drive in one of the partitions.  I am also able to boot from the Snow Leopard on the partition, access the internet, get my email and have successfully installed Evernote. I am also able to access Apple Store and needed items on my laptop.I am using a MacBook Pro as the laptop so it starts up with Snow Leopard from the external drive and I can still access my original info because I used Super Duper to clone my hard drive (running 10.5.11). My question is when I access email and the internet when Snow Leopard is booting does that change the settings on my MacBook Pro.  All was fine for a couple of days but today I was unable to access the Internet or get my email when I booted from 10.5.8 on my laptop. (The external drive was not connected.) I was able to figure out what to do  to get everything working again but I'm not sure I could repeat it.  So, if I boot from an external drive does that change the settings on the laptop? If so is there a standard way to change things back.  I did make screen shots of the settings on my laptop once I got it working again. 
    Thanks.
    Nancy

    Unless you are using the same common home directory for running both versions of the OS (which is possible) then when booting from two distinct volumes, and it doesn't matter where they are, doing something on one does not affect the other.
    You have two home directories, one on each volume.  You are using the one on whichever volume you booted from.  So if you defined your mail settings on each exactly the same way (pop, smtp, etc) I would expect them to behave the same way.  Similarly for the network settings.

  • Mountain Lion download corrupts hard drive!!

    I am trying to re-download Mountain Lion to create a boot jump drive so I can reinstall Mountain Lion clean.  After download I can not open "mount" the installEDS.dmg file.  Error pops up stating invalid checksums and I can not complete the process of creating the boot jump drive.  I check Disk Utility/Verify Disk and see these results: Disk Utility/Verify Disk reports, Incorrect block count for file installEDS.dmg, Volume Bitmap needs minor repair, The volume is now corrupt and needs repair.
    So.. I restart the computer through recovery hard drive option so that I can repair the disk.  I am able to successfully repair the disk. The computer is still working.
    I repeat the Mountain Lion down load process, attempt to create the boot jump drive and again.... installEDS.dmg will not mount, invalid checksums.  I check Disk Utility/Verify Disk.   The volume is now corrupt and needs repair.  I repeated this 4 times (I have a slow connection DSL 6mb).  Same results! I repeated once on a different day (App Store server problems maybe?).  Same results! 
    The reason I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion is because I have constant kernel panics.  Kernel panics are (4 to 5) in an hour. When this happens I attempt to restart the computer.  After second computer restart (kernel panic upon first restart attempt), the computer will last a day without a kernel panic!  I have attempted to address the kernel panics, (removing 3rd party programs, latest updates, etc.) I can not pin down the problem. I have experienced kernel panics after sleep, kernel panics when shutting down or restart, kernel panics after turning off blue tooth, basically kernel panics under every application so far.  I have ran the hardware test, (from snow leopard CD), no hardware errors.  Ran memtest from single user mode, no memory errors.  I do realize that these programs may not catch bad hardware.. and will be contacting OWC for memory and drive support as another avenue. Computer specifications are:
    MacBook Pro 7.1, Mid2010, 2.4 Ghz, Snow Lepoard 10.6.8, OWC 8g Memory purchased Jan 2012 (Offically 4 supported), OWC 240g SSD purchased May 2012  Everything worked flawless until mountain lion upgrade!
    So I would like to reinstall Mountain Lion clean, but can not, because I can not down load a clean copy of Mountain Lion.  My only thought is to install Snow Leopard on another drive and re-download Mountain Lion on that.
    Any thoughts on these questions:  Is the application corrupted?  Does my current install of Mountain Lion corrupt new downloads? Is it my hardware? (Will schedule a visit with Apple store as well, when I can get to Chicago)
    In the mean time anyone else experiencing this?  If so any other suggestions?  Any help would be much appreciated!

  • I need to upgrade my external hard drive, any suggestions

    I have an iMac i5 quad core (2010 model), I have been using a Seagate Barracuda 250 GB 7200 RPM from an older iMac 20" G5 in an OWC Mercury Elite Pro Firewire 400/USB 2.0/1.1 enclosure as my backup external HD.  The enclosure has the Oxford 911 chipset and says that it supports up to 750GB.
    Since I have been using Snow Leopard only I have used time machine to backup to this HD.  Now, that I have installed Lion, and partitioned my HD on my computer to have both Lion and Snow Leopard OS, I need to get a larger external HD to install in my OWC enclosure to save money.
    I was looking on the OWC website and found a SeaGate 2.0TB Barracuda Green SATA 6Gb/s 64MB, 5900 RPM for $90.00, or the 7200 RPM for $158.00.
    I am not sure if my enclosure with the Oxford 911 chipset will support this drive, and also the specs for my enclosure says up to 750GB, and that probably rules out these drives anyway.
    I could just keep what I have and use it as a back up of my Lion partition currently using 134 GB.  Snow Leopard using 127 GB on my internal 1TB hard drive.  Then, I could purchase the OWC Mercury Elite Pro 2.0 TB Firewire 400/USB 2.0/1.1 with the Oxford 934 chipset, 5900 RPM, and 64 MB for $150.00. Even thought this would be a little slower, is it worth paying $40.00 more for the 7200 RPM speed?
    On my hard drive now I am only using 261 GB, so after I first back up both partitions on the 2.0 TB external HD, any other backups would not take as long to do.  I have Super Duper, but right now it is not recognizing my Lion HD, and I have not backed up Lion to my current external HD yet since I want to get a larger external HD.  When I get the new HD, I can partition it so that I can backup either Lion partition or SL partition using time machine, it that right?  My current external HD is bootable, but I am confused about Carbon Copy or Super Duper, will that be saved on my external HD?
    Thanks,
    DaisyMay

    I would recommend not settling for less then USB 3 or hold out for Thunderbolt, if your machine is capable. Firewire 800 minimum.

  • AECS6 won't open in Mountain Lion on secondary hard drive

    I have After Effects CS6, file version (no dvds). Using a 4,1 Nehalem Mac Pro, Snow Leopard, w/2 x 2.6 GHz quad core Intel Xeon, 18GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX285 card. A few months after installing AECS6, I bought an internal hard drive and put OS Mountain Lion onto it. When I try to open AECS6 after booting from the new hard drive,  I get a series of error messages including "Quicktime is not installed" and "unknown error". The program crashes before opening.  It still works fine on the original hard drive w/Snow Leopard. I've googled and found a lot of suggestions for helping AECS6 start in Mountain Lion after the "Quicktime is not installed" error message, but none of them seem to work for me. And I'm not sure that it isn't related to the partition. I copied the root AECS6 folder into the new hard drive's Applications folder, still get the same errors. Quicktime 7 and 10 are installed on both drives, along with the appropriate codecs. I know that the codecs are properly installed on the new drive because Nuke can access them.
    Thanks for any help, people.

    Using MA for moving Logic Pro/Express across is not a good idea.... as you have found.. because often all kinds of weird issues can arise..
    I would suggest you do a full uninstall of Logic.Express. (I assume you have Logic Express as there isn't an app called Logic Pro Express) using this post to guide you.. (its for Logic Pro but much of what is written applies to LE too..)
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30524
    Then...
    You need to reinstall Logic Express via the DVDs (Remembering to do a software update immediately as the DVD version does not work with Lion or Mountain Lion..without updates)
    Next re-install all 3rd party plugins (not forgetting to register them via whatever means they require) and sample libraries if you use them..
    Now your projects should work just fine
    It's a long job I know but it is the best and most reliable way of making sure Logic Pro/Express works fine now and in the future..

  • How do I download mountain lion onto new hard drive

    My IMac 2.4  mid 2007 was starting to get very slow in opening applications. I rebooted the machine, it displayed the apple and then a circle with a line through it and would go no further. I have put it down to the hard drive, and have purchased a new one. My question is, how do I install mountain lion that I have already purchased to the new hard drive. I would appreciate any help on the matter

    You need to get your computer up to at least 10.6, using the original installer for your Mac, or a retail copy of 10.6.3. Then update to 10.6.8, and using the App Store, sign in with your AppleID, go to Purchases, and re-download and install 10.8.

  • How can I reinstall Mountain Lion on new hard drive?

    I've had to install a new hard drive as old one was failing.
    Have loaded Snow Leopard from disc onto the new drive but can't install Mountain Lion which I was running prior to drive failure; very frustrated.
    Have tried several options.
    1. Tried to reboot from OS X Utilities but whenever I restart, holding the cmd + R keys, I can only ever get the standard screen. I've tried pressing keys early in restart, later in restart, keys on either side of the keyboard, cmd + alt/option + R but still can't get to the OS X Utilities.
    2. Having given up on 1 I've tried to download ML from my purchase history in iTunes. I can see the purchase recorded but there appears to be no way to get to a reload option - at least not in the iTunes loaded from Snow Leopard
    3. I tried downloading ML updates, hoping that might allow me to bypass 1 and 2. The download wasn't recognised by my machine.
    4. I've be willing to just buy the **** OS again from scratch but iTunes won't allow me to do that either, at least not using my current Apple ID.
    Does anyone have any bright ideas? I hate bloody computers.

    Thanks,
    Mike
    How old is your Mac, if it came with 10.6 installed it is too old to have Internet Recovery (command-option-R) And as it has a new hard drive you won't be able to use Recovery (command-R) either until a new copy of Mountain Lion is installed and ceates a recovery partition on the drive.

  • Unable to Load Mac OS Mountain Lion On new Hard Drive

    So recently my internal Hard Drive in my Mid 2012 Mac book Pro has stopped functioning, so i made a trip to best by to get a new one. But once i boot from the  my Mountain Lion Disk and select Disk Utility I am unable to format my drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried going to the partition Tab and selecting GUID in the setting Option but i still get the error, Partition Failed with the Error : File System Formatter Failed. I've tried Verifying and Repairing the Drive but it says my Drive is Ok. Formatting my Hard Drive to any other Type other then Mac OS Extended Will work.

    Try going to the partition if there is one, not the top level drive, and select the erase tab.

  • Battery life drops after Mountain Lion and then hard drive crashes. Coincidence?

    On October 20, I purchased and downloaded Mountain Lion for my 2009 MacBook Pro. I soon began seeing a decrease in battery life. When hovering over the battery icon to check the time left, I noticed it said "Service Battery". The notebook otherwise seemed to operate normally. I should also note that I've never had any other problems with this MacBook Pro. By November 18, without any other problems, the hard drive crashed and was irreparable, costing me over $200 for replacement. This should not be a part that needs replacement on a 3 year old computer. Coincidence that these events happened so close in sequence, I think not. If the battery problems are known to Apple through the discussions on the Support Communities, why hasn't Apple issued a patch 4 months after the release of Mountain Lion? The new hard drive was installed running Snow Leopard and I intend to keep that OS. It's really a shame because ML has some nice features that SL does not offer. I also will not be purchasing any new Apple OS until the program has been out at least a year to allow Apple to work out the known, potentially costly problems that they seem to knowingly ignore. I'm a loyal Apple customer but this incident will have me thinking twice before running out to purchase any of their products and software immediately upon release or even a few months after.

    Have you followed these instructions, specifically formatting your new HDD?
