My external disk are missing 5 min after connect it

I don´t understand how and why I lost my external disk in my computer (macbook). What Do i have to do?...

well I have two machine in my house, one of them is a Toshiba with a Windows XP and I don´t have thats problem in it. Beside, when i use my pendrive for a short (5 minutes) period of time, it disconnects spontaneously and the OS gives me an error as if i disconnected my pendrive without putting it in the trash or ejecting with the right procedure first. Then, I have the same problem with a external disk and with a pendrive.

Time Machine Backups of External Disk are Missing

I have followed the troubleshooting tips at http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html.
My circumstance is this:
I have a time machine on an external drive (not a time capsule). As far as I know it's backing up my main internal drive normally. This is a macbook pro, it gets connected irregularly. The drive has plenty of space, no old backups have been deleted.
I store my photos on an external sd card. It gets attached even more irregularly. The external sd is not excluded in TM preferences, nor has it failed (thankfully), been reformatted or renamed.
Entering TM, I see only a backup of the most recent time both TM disk and photos disk were connected (today). I know for certain both have been connected previously connected, and TM has generated a backup.
I know this because I have had this problem previously. Twice I have noticed the disappearing backup except for whatever was most recent at that time. I furled my forehead, assumed I was doing something wrong, and let the problem lie (creating a manual copy of my iPhoto library for safekeeping each time).
Fortunately, I do not need access to the backups now. But who knows what tomorrow brings?
I'm grateful for any input into this problem, so I may start relying on the backups.

While in Time Machine, to see all mounted volumes shift - command - c. Information learned from Linc Davis.

Events on remote disks are missing from event library

The iMovie events on remote disks are missing. I've looked for the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file and it's missing (was a solution I found from earlier discussions). The icon for the remote disks shows a disk and a yellow caution symbol.
I have a directory on this remote drive with iMovie events. How can I reconnect these events back into iMovie?

Do you not have a backup copy of your itunes library?
If not, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purcahses

Local disks are in FAIL status after installing the cluster

The /var/adm/messages log isn't giving me much info to go on. This has happened twice now. After installing the cluster, my local disks are in a FAIL status and the cluster is not giving me much information why.
It's a two-node cluster w/ x2100 M2s.
Any ideas?
-Hedo

when I run cldevice status -v, it reports that the two local disks are in FAIL status on each node.
That's all that's going on right now. Everything else seems to be perfect, other then those disks in FAIL status.

External Hard Drive does not mount after connecting to airport

Hello,
I tried finding a solution to this problem already, but people that posted were having issues seeing the drive connected to the airport, while I am having the opposite problem.
After I tried connecting my USB drive my new airport extreme and it worked there and I tested speed and whatnot, I disconnected it and plugged it back into my iMac and now it will not show up anywhere, and will only show up when connected to the airport.
Basically I want my drive that was connected to the airport to connect to my mac again because it is not working.

To clarify, when you connect that drive directly to your iMac it doesn't appear on the Desktop? Do you have Finder preferences set (in the General tab) to show "External disks"? Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?

Built in security domains are missing on windows after installing wtk

hi,
i am just experimenting a bit with j2me technologies so i have installed the latest wtk on my windows machine from sun. but a problem has raised with built-in security domains.
if i run emulator.exe -Xquery with my Windows user then the security domains lines are empty.
example: DefaultColorPhone.security.domains:
in case i launch this with Administrator it works fine
example: DefaultColorPhone.security.domains: manufacturer,minimum,identified_third_party,unidentified_third_party,maximum
everything else (environment etc.) is the same but the user account. my user name is in the form of firstname.lastname so in my opinion this won't be a whitespace issue. i have also tried uninstalling the wtk then installing with my user but it did not help.
do you have any clue what could go wrong?

I installed Leopard on a G5 tower with 2 new 750 GB's seagate drives. Disk Utility shows a total capacity of 698.6 GB's out of 750 GB's so I am missing 50 GB's. Also first aide hangs up on Verify/repair disk permissions. It looks like I am dealing with an "erase" issue since their must be other files on the new drives that are causing problems, My new thoughts on this are:
(1)For MacHD 2, in DU click on the "hard Drive(698.6 GB ST3750640AS)/security option-zero out data/erase
(2) For MacHD 1 (Leopard) insert the installation disk/go to option-erase and install/ok
Will this work or is there a better way to go about it.
Thanks for looking at my Post

Most drives are listed as unformatted size and take advantage of the "1000" kilo which is really 1024.
Also a system with folders, &c. takes up space with no actual files.
Your "loss" of less than 10% is normal and expected.
For example, the "250GB" HD on this MBP as reported by DU says:
Total Capacity : 232.9 GB (250,059,350,016 Bytes)
But I have not lost 17GB.
Since your drive is 3 times the size of mine, I would expect to see a "loss" of 51 GB (3x17) which is exactly what you are reporting.

Which USB external disk are you successfully using with TC?

I've seen various posts about attaching an external USB disk to the TC. Some people have been successful and others have had problems. I have tried 2 different disks without success.
The first disk (Seagate 300GB) went into sleep mode after not being used for a while and the TC couldn't wake it up! The second disk (Maxtor One Touch 300GB) worked most of the time but had problems when importing lots of pictures into iPhoto. iPhoto would complain it couldn't find files part way through the import (like it had lost the connection to the disk). Both of these disks work fine with a Linksys NSLU2.
If anyone has had success with an external USB disk could they please post the make, model and capacity?
Thank you.

It helps to 'wrap' URLs with code so they don't run off the screen, using UUB or HTML.... but that is minor for now.
Easier to search "ST94811U2-RK"
http://www.seagate.com
However I get "not found" on that drive. Your link comes up with "ST3300601U2-RK" There are some USB2 only PB 300GB drives listed.
I tend to stick to non-vendor drives, rather than Maxtor or WD or Seagate etc. Anything with Oxford 911+ or above work well with Macs.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire/
And avoid USB2 drives and get one with FireWire (and USB2), your drive should be formatted as GUID - check the drive (not volume or partition) in Disk Utility. It is changed by reformatting in Disk Utility: Partition -> Options.... (at bottom of screen) and there will be three options, you want GUID (not MBR).
Is it bus powered or does it have its own power supply?
It seems that your drive is older discontinued model?

External Disk Not Readable by OSX after Setting Drive Letter in Windows 7

My external hard drive, which was previously formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), contains all of my purchased music. I have this external drive connected directly to my iMac via USB. My iTunes in OS X points to this drive.
After installing Boot Camp, I was able to read this external hard drive in Windows 7, but I changed the drive letter used in Windows 7 from E: to G:. Bad idea, apparently...
Now when I boot into OS X, I can no longer read the drive (although I can read it in Windows 7 just fine). I get the error message:
"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." [Initialize] [Ignore] [Eject]
When I use Disk Utility to attempt to Repair Disk, I get the following error:
"2010-11-24 08:43:41 -0800: Verify and Repair volume “disk2s2”
2010-11-24 08:43:41 -0800: Starting repair tool:

2010-11-24 08:43:41 -0800: Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
I've searched for this issue in these forums and on the web and have not yet found a solution.
Is there any way to repair this external drive so that I can again read/write to it in OS X (WITHOUT losing my music)?
Thanks!

I had this exact problem. I bought a 1 TB My Book, formatted it with Disk Utility, and completed a successful backup. I also had some home videos on it and was using about 40% of the drive. One day, about a week later, I had the same "disk unreadable" message and soon panicked. Tried everything, but finally spent $100 for Disk Warrior and I was able to get my videos off, but it wasn't able to fix my drive, DW said I didn't have enough memory.
I reformatted and put my videos back on, but now will use a different drive for backups, so if it fails again I only lose my backups.

Final Cut Express not opening, error says final FCE disks are missing.

Hi there,
Recently I got a WD Fire Wire 800 Hard drive for christmas so I could move all of my final cut projects over to the HD.
When I moved my final cut express documents including all of the folders it now says this error.
To preserve the integrity of the data used by final cut express, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following paths;
- My HDD Chris is missing
Then it gives me the option to reset scratch disks, check again or quit.
So I'm not sure what I do.
Should I simply move back all the folders and documents that I moved to my hard drive (btw I tried this but it still gave the same error message). I have deleted final cut express 4.1 and re installed 4.0 to see if it works but it didn't and has the same error message.
Any tips would be helpful.
Chees, Chris.

I can't even open FCE any more because I have moved everything onto the external hard drive including software 'everything'.
You moved the software? You can't do that. That's fatal. The software must be on the system drive as it requires system resources. Move the application called Final Cut Express back into the top level of the Applications folder. Do it move it, rename it, or put it inside a folder.
Do not assign the scratch disk to a folder anywhere. If you want the scratch disk to be on your external drive select the top level of the external drive. FCE will create the folders it needs in that location.
Hi,
When you say move the application final cut express into the application folder.
Do you mean move my folder of final cut express that I moved onto my HDD?
If so it's copying the 20GB folder as I speak. Hopefully fixes this frustrating problem..
Cheers, Chris.

All external users are missing in Shared services.

Hi All,
We are on Hyperion System 11.1.2.. Today all of a sudden in production users are not able to log in. So logged in as admin (native user) to see whats going on. Surprised to see that all the groups are empty and all the users are removed from all groups. So when tried to add back its unable to find the external users.
So some thing is wrong with external users.
Any suggestions on how to fix or any one experienced similar issues?

Got this same error in Shared Services 11.1.1.3 Was due to an Active Directory Domain Controller being decommissioned Here is a fix you might try, It basically refreshes your user database connection
Log into Shared Services
Click on “Administration” on the “Shared Services” toolbar
Click “Configure User Directories
Check the Radio button next to “Active Directory” (or the db your are experiencing the error) and then click “Edit”
The next screen displays the connection info for “Active Directory”(or the db your are experiencing the error), nothing to change here, just click “Finish” and the connection refresh should start
Re-start All Services
Verify that you can now look up an external user without error

Positions and BPartners in CRM Org Hier are missing in BW after extraction

Hi BW experts,
When I load CRM Organisational Hierarchy from CRM 7.0 system through datasource 0CRM_ORGUNIT_HR01_HIER into BW 7,01 system, only the organisational units such as Property Sales, Team 1, Team 2 etc were loaded into BW. Positions such as Team Leader and Sales Executives which are assigned to their respective teams ie. Team 1, Team 2 etc were missing in BW. Likewise, Business Partners ie. the staffs which are assigned to these positions in CRM were also not in BW.

Icons are missing from bookmarks after updating to 9.0.1 in MAC OSX. Any ideas?

Prior to the upgrade, my list of bookmarks has an icom to the left which made it easier to select the bookmark I was interested in. These are now missing and only the title of the bookmark shows.
I run Firefax under MAC OS X Lion
