TM Not Finding Backup Drives

I have a LaCie 320 GB disk connected via a home network on another computer (PowerbookG4). It appears in "Devices" and I can freely access it, but TM does not find it. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to plug in the drive directly? Thanks

Is there any work-around or alternative to the local disk requirement? Just bought a TB NAS drive. It's always on the network and available, so why can't I use it?

Windows Could not find the Driver for your Apple iPod USB Device (5G 30GB)

I have a 8GB iPod Nano. My roommate has a 30GB 5G Video. Black.
My iPod syncs flawlessly. His is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. Every time we plug in the iPod, it prompts us for the driver. I tried to install the update apple mentions through the windows process, but after going through the tedious Windows Genuine Verification process, I was told that the update didn't apply to my computer.
We use a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p, which shipped with Windows Vista Business.
We are running iTunes 7.3.1.3, and there are no windows updates available for the computer.
I have...
...reset
...reinstalled 7.3.1.3 (over and over and over)
...tried different USB ports. (Early on, we saw it once after swapping ports).
...tried turning off the ability of the computer to 'Turn this device off to save power."
I have also verified that the iPod works on my work Dell Lattitude D620 running XP, and that it's not the cord, as we've used the cord that came with my Nano as well.
So, the problem seems to be with vista, as many people seem to have had. The best thread I found that deals with this was http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995793.
But even after having tried everything, I still have an unrecognizable iPod.
When I run iPod diagonostics, everything seems okay, except for the iPod connection, which says failed. I've had difficulty working with the iPod service under Computer/Device Manager - it doesn't ever seem to stop or start, with the iPod plugged in or not.
And interestingly enough, the FAT32 external harddrive that I use to back up my data exhibits exactly the same problem ("Windows could not find the driver for your USB Mass Storage Device). This device worked great in XP, and even odder, I have a FAT32 partition of the main HD as a swap space between my VistaOS and my Ubuntu installation.
Do I have to chalk this up to another issue with Windows Vista? What bothers me there is that you're a ping-pong between windows support and apple support - no one really owns up the problem.

Bill, I've been stuck in this loop for 3 months since buying a new laptop with Vista Basic. I've tried everything to no avail. I don't know what else to do apart from buying a cheap PC running XP. Let me know if you manage to find a solution and I'll do the same.

Oracle Secure Backup Problem: could not find backup section record

Hi,

Hi Fernando-- Why are you trying to manually start the apache daemons? It should not be necessary. By default the daemons should start by themself when you install as an adminhost. It appears from the information you sent that you are trying to restart them and they're already running. I would recommend that you stop and start OSB and then do an "https://<OSB admin hostname>" and you should be able to access OSB this way without any other intervention. Please let me know how it goes.

I have a compaq 6200 pro i can not find the driver for SM bus controller.

I down graded the 6200 pro with the i3 chip to winXP and now I can not find the driver for the SM bus controller does this system have a sm bus controller?

Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

After Sleep, Moutain Lion will not find Network Drives

Hi all,
I've upgraded to Mountain Lion on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 and all was well until I've noticed that after sleeping my MacBook will not find any network drives. I only noticed this since TimeMachine came up with an error that it cannot backup due to not being able to find the device on the network, my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 was powered on and TimeMachine backed up to it less than an hour before?
I've tried an Alt Rt Click on Finder to Relaunch Finder but still my MacBook will not find any network drives until I reboot, or switch off WiFi and then turn it back on?
Has anybody else come across this since the upgrade to Moutain Lion?
My MacBook Pro is fully up to date and TimeMachine works well if the MacBook doesn't sleep?
Many thanks in advance, Jon.

Surely it's not just me that is experiencing these issues? The latest update mentioned some networked drives but still i'm experiencing the same issues after sleep. If I reboot fine, but not after sleep?
Can anybody help??
Jon.

Notes from backup drive.

Somehow I've lost all my notes via sync. Nothing in backup. However, I should have the notes on ext. backup drive and Carbonite. Where would I find the file and how to move to be restored?

It will be very difficult now, if possible at all. Installing Mavericks may have overwritten the same areas of the drive the data you want to recover was on. You also need to stop using the main disk as soon as possible.
1) Make a bootable clone of your current OS X installation to an external drive using Disk Utility, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.
2) Boot to that new clone. Do not startup to the original drive again for any reason until you've tried to recover the data.
3) Purchase either FileSalvage, or Data Rescue III. Both will run in demo mode to give you an idea what they can do, but even the demos are limited. Make sure to download the purchased software to the clone, and install it on the clone. Do not write anything else to the drive you are recovering data from.
4) Once you have launched either app, scouring a drive for recoverable files takes hours. Be prepared to wait quite a while before you even know if it was able to recover the file(s) you need.

Windows can not find the driver for PCI-1428

Windows 2000 Find's the PC!-1428 Board, but it doesn't
find the Driver. IMAQ 2.51 it's all ready installed.

Loo. If you go into MAX and look under the software tab, does NI-IMAQ 2.51 show up? If so, make sure the Image Acquisition VIs are available in LabVIEW (or make sure the library files are available in your programming environment). If the VIs don't appear, or if the software isn't in MAX, then you probably have a dirty installation. To clean it up, make sure NI-IMAQ is totally uninstalled and that the NI-IMAQ folder is empty.
If everything appears to be normal in software, but the 1428 card still doesn't install, then the card may be bad. The best way to test this is to install the board on another computer. If it works on one computer but not the other, then it's definately a software problem.

HT2317 Downloaded update ISO 6 to IPod & I Tunes program does not find backup

Updated ISO 6 to IPod & I tunes program can not find IPod backup & album artwork not transferred to IPod

There is no ISO 6, it is iOS6... but that's really not relevant.
Is the iPod working?
Does the album artwork exist in iTunes on the computer?

Rescue and Recovery Not Finding Backups On USB Drive During Restore

Currently running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on a W510. Rescue and Recovery cannot find my backups on the USB drive when trying to restore. They can be seen when not in restore mode. There are two partitions on the USB drive. The second contains the backups. I also tried plugging the drive into a server to access it as a network drive with the same result. R&R version 4.30.0025.00. I do not believe it has changed since I started the backups.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just a think, I'm pretty sure is about your version of R&R. Just between R&R4.30 and 4.31 is not compatible.

Imac not finding external drive after reinstall

Hi there
I have recently downgraded from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. I have had an external hard drive running time machine since I got my imac.
When I downgraded it found the drive but it did refuse to restore any of the backups. (Which were all done on Mountain Lion as I had not backed up on Maverick) I had to repeat the install process due to another issue and when I tried to remount the drives it could only find two.
Now this drive has worked perfectly for Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and on Maverick as I upgraded to each.
It runs on the firewire port. Swapping the port is not an option as the drive doesnt have a USB slot and I dont have a free USB port or a hub.
I have 3 in total 2 WD and one LaCie. The original one which my imac wont find is a WD.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I dont want to reload anything onto my machine incase I have to try erasing and reinstalling again.

i'm using a 1,5 TB WD external hd and 2 others with 320 GB and 160 GB ... formatted on NTFS and it doesn't mount. it shows up at disk utility but i can't mount it ... and i have all of my life in there

HPE-310t BIOS not finding 3TB drive

I have an HPE-310T Pavillion with a bad drive. Thought I'd upgrade to a 3TB drive (3TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive), but the BIOS is not recognizing anything but 750GB. I don't see any BIOS updates anywhere on the support website. Ideas, suggestions?

RT USB Format suddenly not finding Hard Drive

For a remote desktop RT PC running LabVIEW RT 8.6, I had tested 8 different motherboards in an attempt to get LabVIEW Real-Time
(Pharlap) to recognize an RT desktop’s SATA hard-drive and network card. We had
finally found a single motherboard that allowed LabVIEW Real-time to recognize
and format the SATA hard drive to run pharlap.
Unfortunately, that ASUS motherboard
has been discontinued, so we had to hunt once again for motherboards
that would run correctly with LabVIEW Real-Time. After some effort, we did find
another motherboard which allowed the USB format utility to format the SATA
drive and successfully boot the RT pharlap environment. Upon this success, our
company proceeded to order a large number of these new motherboards in case they
too became discontinued. However, the very same motherboard which operated
correctly 2 weeks ago can no longer see the SATA hard drive through LabVIEW
real-time, even though the BIOS correctly recognizes the hard
drive.
I find it particularly bizarre
because the hard drive does actually boot to LabVIEW Real-time on its own, but
upon booting via the hard drive, Pharlap states “Error booting hard drive
program,” and proceeds to run in safe mode *on the very same hard drive*. Any attempts
to reformat this drive via the 8.5.1 or 8.6 usb utility now result in “Unable to
detect ATA/SATA hard drive” even though the very same usb, hard drive, and
motherboard worked correctly in re-formatting, installing, and running remote VIs 2 weeks ago.
If you could please provide any
insight into this madness, it would be greatly appreciated. For reference, we
had previously used the ASUS P5K motherboard (which is now discontinued) and are
now experiencing our mixed success/failure on the Foxconn G33M motherboard. Both
of these motherboards use the ICH9 chipset that is AHCI and IDE compatibility
capable, which is a requirement for desktop RTs.

I've tried multiple hard drives that were full formatted to FAT16 and FAT32 in Windows XP and got the same result.
During the two week period, the motherboard had been removed from its case and sat on my desk with anti-static covers draped over and under it. I've been trying the motherboard without a case ever since, as that would confound issues further.
To make matters worse, I've been trying new motherboards with the ICH10 and ICH10R southbridge chipsets (AHCI and legacy IDE compatible), and the USB format utility freezes at "Transferring control to user program," so I can't even get to attempting a hard drive format there. I've tried changing the USB settings to Legacy as suggested in the NI literature and even unplugging the hard drives entirely, as the other motherboard still boots to the USB without a hard drive present, and it still hangs at the same place before the utility loads.
I've gone through every possible iteration of BIOS settings (especially the IDE ones) on every motherboard I've tried. Ever since the ICH8 chipset, I've never managed to get an actual PATA (IDE) drive to work either.
Here is a list of motherboards we've tried that didn't work due to either the USB utility hanging or the hard drive not being seen:
Intel DG33BU
TYAN S5220AG2NR
ASUS P5E-VM DO
ASUS P5N-MX
ABIT IP35 Pro
SuperMicro C2SBA
ASUS P5Q
MSI P45 Neo
The ASUS P5K worked but is discontinued, and the Foxconn G33M is the one that worked 2 weeks ago but doesn't now.

Windows 7 not find IEEE1394 Driver for my MAC Mini

Hi, i try to install windows 7 ultimate on my MacMini Core 2 duo.
All ok... I use bootcamp 3.1 for install driver in windows... and all OK but.... not Controller IEEE1394
I can't find and instal driver for it...
someone have a solution?
Thanks a lot....

Hi Kristo,
"Microsoft Windows operating systems include a bus driver and various class drivers to support the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus. However, current driver support is limited to controllers and devices that are compliant to the 1394a standard.The features introduced with the 1394b standard cannot be used in Windows based applications and device drivers."
What do you need to achieve?

With bootcamp it can not find ntsf drive

I have been using latest addition of Bootcamp 5 in an effort to install Windows 7 in a partition. In every attempt it indicates that, even after using Bootcamp 5, it can not load Windows 7 on the "Bootcamp" partition but it always says it needs an NTSF formated partition. Tried 8 times. What am I doing incorrectly?

As Csound1 has already stated, it's worth relooking at the setup guide provided by Apple (link provided below for you), and yet definitely do some sort of backup incase things do go wrong, which has done for me and taken well over a week to fix!
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/bootcamp/
Do you have two HDD's? Are you installing Windows on one HDD and have the Mac OS on another? Or just the standard one HDD installed?
Good luck and report back how you're getting on or are having issues.

Disk Utility not finding Hard Drives after Updates

Howdy;
Updated my B&W G3 to 10.4.4 and itunes 6.0.2. After update and restart, ran Disk Utility (DU), which seem to just get into a loop "Gathering disk data". Force quit DU and tried running from Tiger DVD, but similar story.
I have done a little research and there has been many problems with DU linked to itunes 6.0.2 update, but not quite the same (no B&W G3 w/10.4.4 and different DU hang point).
I followed: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1505537#1505537
and even tried moving iTunes to desktop; trashing several iTunes.pkg files; restarting, all to no avail.
Any additional suggestions out there?
Dual 2.5 G5; Mac min; B&W G3 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I doubt that any jumpers are needed, since this is the only (master) drive in the system. WD's site has pretty good info on this. Verify for yourself however.
Also, from their site:
How to partition and format an internal slave drive or an external drive in a Mac OS X (all versions).
Answer
In Mac OS X, you can use the built in Disk Utility to partition and initialize the drive so it will appear on the desktop.
1. Open the main drive (the drive that contains the operating system).
2. Open the Applications folder.
3. Open the Utilities folder.
4. Select Disk Utility.
5. The drives are displayed on the left side of the window. Click on the drive that you wish to partition (the top drive listing for the hard drive that you want to work with).
6. Once the drive is selected click on Partition.
7. Click on the Options button to select the partitioning scheme.
8. Click on Apple Partitioning Scheme or Apple Partitioning Map and then click on the OK button.
9. You will see several options for setting up the drive. Once you have selected the number of partitions, the format type you want, and a volume label, click the Partition button.
10. Following the completion of this process, the drive will appear on the desktop.
