[Solved] Failed to open directory of external hard drive

When I plug in my hard drive it is detected and booted as normal but when I try to open it up using a file manager, I get an error message saying:
Error when getting information for file '/run/media/blah/Blah/LOST.DIR': Input/output error.
When I use the command:
ls /run/media/blah/Blah
It displays:
ls: cannot access /run/media/imran/Imran/Backup: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /run/media/imran/Imran/LOST.DIR: Input/output error
Followed by all the files that I have on the hard drive. I have ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs installed and it still does not work. It is an "ADATA Superior SH93".

Yeah sounds like either a corrupt filesystem (hopefully), or a failing drive (hopefully not). Take anonymous_users advice, or do a fsck on it.
Check the SMART status as well. I think the package is smartmontools, but I am on the train right now and checking is a PITA.

Adobe CS5 programs have trouble opening folders on external hard drives under 10.10.2

Just upgraded 2 mac's to 10.10.2. One is a late 2013 Mac Pro, the other is a lot-of-the line, BTO iMac 5K. (Processors and Ram are not an issue)
Both InDesign and Illustrator (CS5) are having difficulty opening folders on external hard drives. Mac Pro is connected to a 5GB LaCie d2 via thunderbolt cable, while the 5K is connected to a 2TB WD my book studio for Mac via FW800 with an apple branded Thunderbolt adapter. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Using the File>open command then drilling down to the selected folder on the Hard Disk drive, the finder sits blank with the spinning beach ball going.
Other local folders open up quickly and populate file lists with no problems.
Some folders on the external drive can be accessed through the File>open finder dialogue however they are folders that contain fewer sub-folders and files.
Update while typing this...
Both Folders that were giving us problems contained a shortcut. Hiding that shortcut inside anouther local folder seems to have cleared up the trick. This is a short term work around and I am wondering if Apple is aware of this issue or if others have found the same problem as I have and if this work around fixes their issues?

How long have you been running 10.9?
In my case the external drives go to sleep and have to wake up. Not much to do with Mavericks, just hardware sleeping to save energy. Note that 10.9 is much more energy aware and may put things to sleep more often. That may be a fair trade off

Will not open leopard on external hard drive

I am running Lion on an iMac 27" 4 core and I am trying to open on an external hard drive loaded with Sow leopard but the screen shows the apple icon and just sits there with no loading spinner. I also have a 13" macbook pro and have no trouble in opening the same external disk with snow leopard. The imac also does not like opening from the dvd.

If by opening you really mean booting, then most likely it can't handle the differences between the iMac and the MBP. There are differences with machine-specific builds. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2681 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186 for details.

[Solved] Unable to write to an external hard drive

Hi Everybody,
I installed the Nov iso and plugged in my external hard drive. The mount command says:
/dev/sr0 on /run/media/ly/WD SmartWare type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=77,iocharset=utf8,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/ly/My Book type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1,uhelper=udisks2)
I and even root were unable to create a file / directory on /run/media/ly/My Book. Does anybody know how to fix?
Thank you.
PS: Before I installed the Nov iso, I was able to read / write from that My Book.
Thank all of you. You all are great. The reason I mentioned the Nov iso is that since I re-installed my machine with the Nov iso, a lot of things don't work as before. I don't blame the Nov iso, I just wanted to list all the things I did to my machine so that you see the whole picture.
A lot of things which don't work as before include:
- gnome seems to ignore the metacity directory in a gtk theme (I use gnome-tweak-tool to install a new theme, I can see changes everywhere but not at the window title bars, but when I copy the metacity files of the new theme into the metacity directory of the default theme which is Adwaita, I can see the changes)
- it's very un-intuitive (is it a word?) to change the wallpaper: until now I still don't know how to use my own wallpaper
- nautilus seems to hide the preferences: I cannot find it to change some things like single click to open a directory, show hidden files, add the Delete item to the menu ...

Mail Won't Open (after removing external hard drive)

Hello,
I recently pulled out my external hard drive improperly (pulled out the cord before disconnecting it). Since then my Mail has not opened. When I click on the icon it just bounces and never opens.
I have tried just about every suggestion on this board for the same problem, For example:
- I have repaired disk permissions
- Moved cache files to the hard drive
- Deleted plist files
- Reinstalled mail from my startup disc
- Reinstalled Tiger altogether
None of these have worked and I was wondering if anybody else had any suggestions. Below is the crash log that appears. Thank you!

Hello, have you tried this full route?
This can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...

Can't open file on external hard drive?

Hi,
I'm using an external hard drive for mac backup and also to store photo files. I copied some photo files to the drive about two weeks ago and their icon appears, but when I want to open them, I get an error message: "The alias “...” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." There is also a small arrow on the icon. My other files can be opened okay.
What's also strange is that I found the icon of the external drive in the folder with the picture files, even though I did not drag it there (the main icon is till on my computer's desktop, where it should be.) That icon also has a small arrow on it. When I click on it, it opens and I can see my folders, but the photo folders with the arrow on it will still not open.
I tried ejecting the drive and reconnecting it, but it didn't help. Is there anything I can do to recover the missing photo files, or are they most likely gone? I have deleted these pictures from my computer hard drive. What should I do about the mysterious second external drive icon? Delete it or keep it? Can I somehow use it to restore the photo files?
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

The Hard Drive is a :
Toshiba Canvio® Connect 1TB Portable Hard Drive (Silver)
Model: HDTC710XS3A1
This one: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=1 0001&krypto=3zEkJ%2BPHCwJUtrlzjGByIaVT405Hn%2BOkggwamseD1O2Y0FHbJ9AUp%2FvPow7k22 XRWnJ6JpaVN8kRgl1%2FsFLgpeXF3MELtwm2GBihw8f7efXGqDPuH1gOcMRylnlmBw9gsk%2BTp1l7y9 CIe9KKQs5NR6dOV3HVJyJoGFWpJuhiI4ebeznLAndHONOpAQH7BG04MKAdFPnSHdRzYEBcRoM%2FVHQM k2PSq4vj%2F684ZdSvLVCllSq4ffM7sqpFRf0VO825mlCiumRBMCpX4RLzBCDAjoVpsvSrfRAuJkk4ZW NwBP3Qfzok8RiYCyj3rmcmGc1iFsFS6dhKjH9xnnhEkb5%2Bag%3D%3D
I copied the photos by dragging and dropping them into the folder on the external drive. I highlighted them all and dragged them together, then clicked "Arrange by Name", so I would find them. As the folders were visible, I assumed they were copied correctly, however I'm not sure I actually opened one to make sure.
Other than the photo folder I have the hard drive connected to Time Machine and it automatically backs up files. I still have about 700MB of space left on the drive.
I used my Mac (disk utility) to format the drive, not the software that came with it, as someone on this forum recommended. Format is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). So far, it had been working great.
Just looked at Disk Utility and it's strange, it's as if the Toshiba drive appears twice, with its original name and then the way I renamed it "Mac Backup". Not sure if that's normal? When I click on Mac Backup it correctly states how much storage I have left, but it lists over 230,000 folders and over 1.3 million files, which seems way too much, even considering the regular backups.

ITunes wont open from my external hard drive onto my new laptop

i have an external hard drive connected to my desktop with all my itunes music on there. but when i connect the external to my new laptop, itunes wont open. it says i dont have itunes support or something like that. and the reason i have my music on the external is so i CAN open itunes from another computer. but this isnt happening right now. someone please help.

yea it is an error 2
Many thanks.
We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)

What to do? coudn't open my toshiba external hard drive that I can open before

I have a Toshiba external hard drive that I've been using without any problems before I upgraded my OS to Mavericks...Now I couldn't find the drive anymore but it seems that my mac detects it but it just is not opening it anymore...couldn't find it in my finder window....Anyone who knows how to fix this? Thanks.

Have you reset power on both the Mac and hard drive?
From time to time, during sleep/wake cycles, my network attached drive wouldn't show up in my Fiinder. When I would click to Connection, they would come up grayed out. Cycling power on the Mac didn't really help much. But cycling power on the hard drive unit did.

4520s Won't Open 3TB Seagate External Hard Drive

I think I have a Hardware Issue: I have a HP Probook 4520s laptop running windows 7 Prof. 32Bit and a Seagate 3TB external hard drive. When I plug in the Seagate, my laptop auto detects it and it shows up in device manager under disk drives named “Seagate External USB Device”. But, it does NOT show in my-computer in the hard disk drive folder and therefore I can’t open it. I have plugged the Seagate into 5 various other windows driven laptops and desk-top computers to include my MS Surface 2 and it shows up AND opens in all of them, just not my 4520s… Why? And, what can I do to fix this serious limitation?

Actually, I figured it out. After I ejected the hard drive, I noticed a file with the same name as the HD. I had to "force eject" this file, but once that was done, I could open Word files from my HD again. Thanks for your help!

Filevault Encryption for Moved Home Directory and External Hard Drive

This posting consists of two different, yet associated, questions.
Here is my relevant equipment:
MacBook Pro
Micronet Platinum RAID Pro, 2.5 terabytes (uses: video editing, backup)
LaCie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Disk, 160 gigabytes (use: additional storage for MacBook)
*Question 1:*
I currently use FileVault to encrypt my Home directory on my MacBook Pro. However, I am running out of hard drive space, given that I do a lot of work with film and have a lot of large applications such as Final Cut Studio 2 and Creative Suite 3 Master Collection fully installed and taking up a lot of space.
Hence, I need to move my Home directory to an external hard drive to free up a nice amount of space, and I would like to keep the applications on the Macintosh hard drive to ensure that they run optimally (though the Lacie drive does use FireWire 800, so perhaps it would not matter?). +Leaving my Home directory unencrypted is not an option.+
Question: If I use the Advanced Options for my Account within Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts > (right click) Advanced Options...) to change the location of my Home directory to the Lacie external hard drive, will FileVault still encrypt my Home directory at this new location?
*Question 2*
In the past, FileVault would not encrypt data on external hard drives—only data within a Home directory.
Of course, I understand that there are many ways to eschew this limitation of FileVault (e.g., create a secure image with Disk Utility, use third-party software, et cetera). Still, it would be nice to have this functionality built right into the Mac OS as part of FileVault, for ease, reliability, and so on.
Question: With Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, is there now any way to use FileVault to encrypt files other than those within the Home directory? That is, any files that I drop into the Lacie hard drive (for simplicity, let’s assume outside of the Home directory option I asked about above in the first question) would be encrypted by FileVault.
Thanks.

"open with" wakes external hard drive

Whenever I use "open with" from the contextual menu or the similar "edit with" in Transmit, the system looks for apps on my external hard drives. This slows things down and unnecessarily wakes the drives.
Those drives are set not to be indexed by spotlight. Is there a way to prevent LaunchServices from looking at them as well, and ONLY look at my primary drive for apps?
Eric

unmount the external drive and run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
this will rebuild the launch services database and remove any entries from the external drives from it. however, if you open any folder on the external containing an application, it will be added to the launch services database and this behavior will resume.

Opening from an external hard drive

I have a large library that I have been organizing. If I want to keep half of it on an external drive can I still open it in iPhoto from the external HD? How do I do that?

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and selet the library on the EHD in the window that comes up.

Iphoto from external hard drive won't open on another macbook

My iphoto wont open from my external hard drive on my other MacBook. It says: The photo library will need to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade.
1) Why do I need to upgrade?
2) Will I still be able to open this external HD on my old macbook?
When I click upgrade it says: there is a problem accessing one or more files in your iphoto library. Do you want iphoto to repair permissions for this library for you?
3) What does this mean?
4)Can I open this external hard drive iphoto library on a Dell laptop or will it always have to be on a Mac?
Thank you for your help!

You do not give enough information to give a total answer - but basically it sounds like you have two Macs with different version of iPhoto - newer version of iphoto have to upgrade the iPhoto library to use it and once they do older versions can not use it - that is the meaning of the warning
The photo library will need to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade.
Pretty clearly stated by the warning
so
1 - because you probably have a newer version of iPhoto on your "other MacBook"
2 - Probably not
3 - you have a permissions problem that needs to be repaired - often this is caused by having the iPhoto library on an improperly formatted drive - the iPhoto library must always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - what format is the drive the iPhoto library is on?
4 - no - if the drive is properly formatted the Dell can not open it and if it can it has no idea what to do with it - the iPhoto library must be used by iphoto on a Mac - if you want to have your photo on a PC you have to export them to a drive the PC can read

Microsoft files not opening in external hard drive anymore

Hi,
I've been saving my files from my Documents to my external hard drive but for the last couple of days the Microsoft files won't open anymore. If I save a file from a USB to the External hard drive it works fine (although if I then move this file to a folder already created in my external hard drive, I get the same message preventing me from opening the doc: "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, might not be a valid Word document, or the file might contain invalid characters.") but if I transfer the file from my documents on my mac to the external hard drive, it won't open.
Similarly, I've created a new Word document and tried to save it directly onto my external hard drive but this message came up: "word cannot save due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume".
I've tried linking up the external hard drive to a PC rather than my mac and Microsoft documents do open.
My external hard drive format is MS-DOS (Fat32).
I'm really not sure what the problem is and am starting to freak out as all my files are saved on the external hard drive.
Many thanks for your help

Open System Preferences > Time Machine
You should see the last time it was backed up.
Verify that you have the correct drive selected.
You should see something like this:

External Hard Drive Not Showing Files

Hi. I'm really in a panic right now because school starts tomorrow and a problem occurred with my external hard drive today. Before I start, I would like to clarify that I use a Macbook Pro 15" (not Retina Display). Here is what happened:
Around 6 months ago, I was organizing the contents of my external hard drive into folders (i.e. "Movies" > "Romance," "Action," "Horror," etc.). In the midst of doing so, my laptop kind of froze and before I knew what was happening, the contents of the "Movies" folder was invisible. The "Movies" folder itself was still visible and accessible, but its contents were not. When I double-clicked the "Movies" folder, nothing would be shown. It was as if it was empty. The problem is that something was still taking up space on my external hard disk. When my friends asked to copy some of my movies onto their computers, I agreed and saw that they could access the "Movies" folder on their Mac laptops! This means that it was probably a problem with my Mac laptop. I decided to ignore it because I was still able to access the contents of the folder if I plugged in my external hard drive into my TV (it's an LG TV).
Today, I decided that I've had enough with the invisible folder. I needed to access movies from the folder and because I couldn't access it, I got very stressed and decided to repair it myself. It was probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made.
I opened Disk Utilities and clicked "Repair Disk" and then "Verify Disk." I then clicked "Repair Disk" again just to be safe (which was absolutely stupid in hindsight). Hoping it would have solved the problem, I ejected my external hard drive and plugged it back in. Once I plugged it in and opened it, I was faced with this:
There was absolutely nothing else visible in my external hard drive. The reason I'm still fighting to fix this and not throwing out the hard disk is that when I got the info of my hard drive, a lot of space was still taking up my hard drive. Here is what I did (the name of my external hard drive is "Mines of Moria"):
Mines of Moria > right-click > Get Info
Once the info was shown ("Mines of Moria Info"), I saw this:
Do you see how annoying this is?! It clearly states that there is only 17.78 GB left on the external hard drive meaning that there are a LOT of files on this hard drive considering its capacity is 1 TB, but I can't access or see anything inside the external hard drive! I tried to open my hard drive on my brother's Alienware (Windows 7), but it couldn't open it because its format. I also tried plugging it into my LG TV and the only folder visible is the "found.000" folder and I can't access it.
Please give me some advice as to what I can do as soon as possible. I am willing to go to a store to fix it, but I would much rather try to do it myself at home. I transferred all my movies from my laptop to this external hard drive because I had no more space on my laptop (yes, almost 90% of the space taken up on my external hard drive is used up by movies and episodes).
Please help me. I also have school files on here (granted, they are from two years ago, but you never know when you're going to use them). I'm a HUGE movie junkie and I've downloaded so many movies that I don't even remember what I downloaded last week (I just can't keep track of which ones I've downloaded when).
This is really important to me, so I would be VERY grateful for any and all relevant and helpful tips and advice.

The problem is caused by the third-party software you installed in order to make NTFS volumes writable. Refer to the developer for support. You might be able to repair the volume in Windows using the CHKDSK program.
