Mounting problem.... in Leopard o_O

Hello,
I have an external USB2 drive with two HFS+ partitions on it (one for Time Machine and the other for transfering stuff).
With MacDrive 7 on my Windows partition it works great unfortunately I unplugged my disk without clicking on "Safely remove etc." (I tought it was my mouse ^^) and from now on the disk doesn't even appear in "Disk Utility" on Leopard.
Afterwards I of course ejected it properly in Windows (and unplugged it) before shutting Windows down gently ;o) but it still dosen't work on Leopard while it works on Windows (completely the other way around of what I'd expect).
Can you help me ?
Thank you very much
Grégoire Gallet

I don't know what I did different but now the external disk appears in Disk Utility on Leopard but the two partitions are not there and even though it is present in disk utility the disk is not on the Desktop...
Furthermore, it seem that the disk is already mounted and when I try to eject it from the disk utility, I can't because it seems to be in use... :o(
Help me please
Thanks
Grégoire

  • Digital Camera Connection Problems With Leopard

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having a big problem with connecting various digital cameras to my macs. I have 3 different machines (a G5 iMac, 2 MacBook Pros) all running 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 and none of them will recognize my canon Powershot SD800 or my SD1000. I haven't had a chance to test it out with my Digital Rebel yet but I'm suspecting I may run into the same issue.
    I've read through all the tech notes in the iLife section and various articles on the web and from what I can tell Apple has a problem with usb device connections in Leopard. I've tried all of the fixes (deleting caches folder, resetting PRAM, updating all applications, etc) and nothing works. The cameras were working fine under 10.4.11. I was really hoping Apple would have fixed this in 10.5.2 but it is still not working. Does anyone have any ideas if Apple is working on this? For photographers like myself this is a major deal. I can get around the issue right now using an external memory card reader, but that's extremely inconvenient at times and I'm just not impressed that something like this has gone months without a fix from Apple.

    And I'm not having any problems with Leopard mounting my Canon PowerShot Pro or Rebel though I typically don't connect them, choosing to use a card reader instead. (Saves camera battery.) This is true on the 4 computers I use at home and work as well as my wife's MacBook. Two came with Leopard pre-installed the other 3 I installed Leopard using Archive & install.
    We can talk about how you upgraded to Leopard or what you have installed that might be getting in the way, or you can buy an inexpensive card reader and be done with the hassle.

  • Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

    I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
    Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
    I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
    I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
    Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    > Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
    Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
    b FUD
    I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
    After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
    But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
    b irresponsible
    advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
    Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
    As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
    "Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
    Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
    Vincent-
    > I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
    Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
    The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
    Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
    You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
    i simultaneously,
    and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
    If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

  • Coping iso file and mounting problem

    Hi
    I am using Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64 bit and Windows ADK.
    I noticed that, if I select the "Environment of the deployment tools and creations images" and I click on the "Run as Administrator" item of his Pop-Up menu and I mount on a iso image of windows 8.1 Update, when I run the command
    robocopy <Drive_Letter>:\"<Windows_Files_Path>" /e
    to copy all its files in a directory and the command
    dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"<Windows_Files_Path>"\install.wim /Index:<Image_Index> /MountDir:"<Mount_Directory_Path>"
    to mount an image volume, this error appears:
    Error: 0xc1510111
    Not have permission to mount and modify this image.
    However, if I copy these files through the "file explorer" window, the mounting of this volume image is working properly. How come?
    Thanks

  • Problem with leopard DVD loading in PowerPC G4

    Hi having problems installing Leopard DVD on Mac G4 desk top - 1GHz PowerPC G4 (3,6), 1MB L3 Cache, 768 MB Ram.
    A few of the details:
    1) I have installed Leopard on my Laptop and it is running fine and it is a family pack edition DVD.
    2) I wiped the G4 I am trying to install clean and re-loaded the original system software, then loaded to Tiger to see if that was the issue...When I put in the Leopard DVD it doesn't even show as being in the computer. It doesn't come up on the desk top...it doesn't show in the HD...it doesn't make a sound at all when put in the DVD slot...basically, the computer is not recognizing the DVD. I have tried other cd's and DVD's in the drive....everything is working except the Leopard DVD.
    Any ideas?

  • Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

    I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

    If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

  • 10.5.8 disk mounting problem

    I updated to 10.5.8 and decided I would download the photoshop elements trial off Adobe's website. It was at 365 MB of 1.27 GB and it suddenly came up "mounting failed" I am currently trying to download it again, but my internet connection is slow so it will be awhile before I see if it happens again at 365 MB. Has anyone else had disk mounting problems in 10.5.8?

    Speaking as someone who works a lot with PSE, I would say the odds are very high that this is an Adobe problem rather than a 10.5.8 problem. Wait a while and try the download again.

  • Mouse interaction problem in Leopard

    Hi Folks,
    All of a sudden, my mouse has some interaction problem in Leopard. Tried different mice, they all behave the same, so I guess this is an issue with Leopard.
    Very weird symptoms:
    1- In Sarafi, when I place pointer on a hyperlink, it doesn't change from arrow to hand, but click action still works.
    2- In menu bar, the selection doesn't get highlighted when I move the pointer over the menu.
    3- For Dock (in auto-hide mode), the Dock doesn't pop up automatically if I move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. I have to click somewhere in the bottom to bring up the Dock, but the icons don't get magnified when I place pointer over them.
    Any idea what the problem is and how to fix that?
    Thanks for the help, guys.

  • Fewer problems with Leopard if bought on new iMac rather than upgrade?

    I bought a new iMac (my 1st Mac ever) just before Leopard came out, so I have Tiger 10.4.11 now and love it. I've had no problems whatsoever and really don't plan on upgrading to Leopard because of all the problems I keep reading about. My brother is thinking about buying an iMac but hesitates because he's heard so many problems about Leopard. Question for you guys - do the Leopard problems seem more common if you've done an upgrade from Tiger, or are the problems just as common if you buy a new iMac with Leopard installed? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Your choice - BUT remember that Millions of people have upgraded with NO problems - you only read about the very few who do have problems. Leopard is a great OS and IF you upgrade carefully (repair your disk, fix permissions, backup and have a bootable clone in case of problems) you are very unlikely to have problems and it is EASY to go back to your clone in the unlikely case that you do have any problem.

    This is a "how long ago did yo stop beating your wife question" - Problems are VERY uncommon in either case. With new systems they are highly unlikely since there is no previous damage to the system and NO incompatible third party software on the system - but problems are extremely uncommon in either case
    He should move ahead with his purchase IMHO.

  • SCSI drive on SCSI controller card wont mount using OSX leopard

    My SCSI drive on a SCSI controller PCI card wont mount using OSX Leopard. It mounts fine using OSX Tiger 10.4.11
    How can I make it mount on Leopard?

    I have PowerMacs G4 Quicksilvers with SCSI drives running 10.5.8. They boot and run OK without an added driver, faster with an added driver for their ATTO cards.
    What card are you using?

  • Narrowing down "iPod won't mount" problem

    Regarding the "iPod won't mount" problem that has been posted a number of times: is anyone having this problem with a USB connection or just with a Firewire connection?
    I'm using Firewire and can't get my iPod to mount. I don't have a USB connector for the iPod and I thought I'd do a little research on the problem before I go buy a USB connector.

    My 4th generation Ipod would not mount with the firewire but worked fine with USB.

  • Problems reinstalling Leopard on Macbook

    Just recently, I've had some serious problems installing Leopard back onto my Macbook. About 4 days ago, I decided to use boot camp to try Windows XP on my Macbook. It all went smooth as I was trying out Windows XP, but I soon found out that I had some serious problems. Boot camp had written over my version of Leopard. When I held down the option key, all I saw was Windows. Of course I thought this could be easily remedied by using my Install disks 1 and 2 but for some reason, neither disks were recognized when I put them in. At one point disk 1 was recognized but it took about twenty minutes to actually get to the install screen. Once there I tried to erase or wipe the Harddrive as it says to do in the apple instructions. So I went ahead and erased it. This was probably a bad choice seeing as halfway through the first install disk, the installation failed. I had just erased my harddrive and now I cannot even get into Windows! Now I cannot get my Macbook to recognize either disk and both disks are spit out after about 5 times of the disk starting itself back up and trying to recognize it multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You've either got a bad disc or a bad drive. Both happen on occasion.
    Do you have access to another Mac? If so, try the disc in it (of course, don't actually do anything, just see if it's readable).
    If the disc is bad, and you're near an Apple store, you might be able to get a Genius to install from a disc of theirs, but either way, you need to get a replacement. Depending on how old your Mac is, there may or may not be a small charge.
    If the drive is bad, it's covered for a year. If you've got AppleCare, it's even longer.

  • Cannot access external NFS mounts under Snow Leopard

    I was previously running Leopard (10.5.x) and automounted an Ubuntu (9.04 Jaunty) Linux NFS mount from my iMac. I had set this up with Directory Utility and it was instantly functional and I never had any issues. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I set up the same mount point on the same machine (using Disk Utility now), without changing any of the export settings, and Disk Utility stated that the external server had responded and appeared to be working correctly. However, when attempting to access the share, I get a 'Operation not permitted' error. I also cannot manually create the NFS mount using mount or mount_nfs. I get a similar error if I try to cd into /net/<remote-machine>/<share>. I can see the shared folder in /net/<remote-machine>, but I cannot access it (cd, ls, etc). I can see on the Linux machine that the iMac has mounted the share (showmount -a), so the problem appears to be solely in the permissions. But I have not changed any of the permissions on the remote machine, and even then, they are blown wide open (777) so I'm not sure what is causing the issue. I have tried everything as both a regular user, and as root. Any thoughts?
    On the Linux NFS server:
    % cat /etc/exports
    /share 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,no_rootsquash)
    % showmount -a
    All mount points on <server>:
    192.168.1.100:/share <-- <server> address
    192.168.1.101:/share <-- iMac address
    On the iMac:
    % rpcinfo -t 192.168.1.100 nfs
    program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting
    program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting
    program 100003 version 4 ready and waiting
    % mount
    trigger on /net/<server>/share (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
    % mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/share /Volumes/share1
    mount_nfs: /Volumes/share1: Operation not permitted

    My guess is that the Linux server is refusing NFS requests coming from a non-reserved (<1024) source port. If that's the case, adding "insecure" to the Linux export options should get it working. (Note: requiring the use of reserved ports doesn't actually make things any more secure on most networks, so the name of the option is a bit misleading.)
    If you were previously able to mount that same export from a Mac, you must have been specifying the "-o resvport" option and doing the mounts as root (via sudo or automount which happens to run as root). So that may be another fix.

  • Problems after Leopard upgrade with ATI 9800 Pro 256MB

    I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
    The problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
    Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
    I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

    I've already reset PRAM with the option,command,P,R keys... letting it chime a couple times... and have already done this many times over the last few days. Doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to reset NVRAM via open firmware and the instructions are vague. But, supposedly a PRAM reset is all you have to do.
    If it is a heat problem, why would it only have presented itself directly after a Leopard upgrade? It also does it when I boot off the Leopard disk. Actually does it worse. I'd just get a new card if I wasn't suspicious about the Leopard upgrade... not convinced it's a hardware problem yet. Though the card is mounted on the bottom slot above the CPUs. It has a fan on top that appears to be working but it doesn't look like much clearance between the card and the top of the CPUs case.
    I could move it up a slot to give it more air... but it still doesn't explain why until last Monday, it worked fine under Tiger.
