Update does NOT fix External drive slowness

I ran the update hoping it would solve the slowness issue when keeping your iPhoto Library on an external drive (mine being a Time Capsule).
Well, it did not - and I may resort back to 08, that worked perfectly.

I may have misstated this. The trial of Aperture was set, I believe, to use and save the photos in their original iPhoto locations (folders) on the same drive. I also was using 'show iPhoto browser' when trying this out.
So while not using the actual library file it was still a good test of using the same amount of photos on the same drive....

Bridge update does not fix caching problems.

Dear Adobe,
The 5.0.1.23 update for Bridge CS6 does NOT fix the problem of constantly re-caching layered TIF files.
I originaly reported the problem here on May 16, 2012.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007560
At that time I also submitted a bug report via photoshop.com, and received an e-mail response from Adobe support confirming the problem had been replicated in their lab and promising a fix in the next update.
I've since tracked several other reports of this bug and related cache problems.
I assume that, at best, we will have to wait another 6 months or more for the next update. How can I assure this bug will be addressed?

Thank you for this bit of information. Maybe it means I can stop the deactivations/uninstall/reinstall/reactivate cycle to try yet another solution. And hopefully, this will stop the re-caching problem with other than tif files.

Bridge CS4 Does Not See External Drive

Very suddenly, Bridge is not seeing the external USB connected driver I use to store recent photos. I read a similar message here and the writer was told to add the drive to favorites. That appeared to work for him, but I could not do that since the folder doesn't appear under Computer in the favorites section either. The drive appears in Windows Explorer. I am using Vista 32. Any suggestions?
Fran

Did you power up or connect the external drive after Bridge had been started? I've observed that Bridge only includes drives that were attached and active when Bridge was launched; it does not add a drive to its folders list if that drive is started after Bridge is active. With your external drive on (and appearing in explorer) try exiting and relauching Bridge.

Lightroom 5.6 does not recognize external drives when trying to locate a picture with a missing link on a Mac OS 10.8.5 and ideas?

A recent upgrade to LR5.6 no longer allows me to locate pictures on external drives with Mac OS10.8.5. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Well, it still would help if you stated "exactly what steps" you are trying, as I asked above. That would lend some clarity to the discussion, as I can think of a couple of reasons you might want to do this and a couple of places where you might (or might not) be looking. I think to move forward, we need these details.
However, have you tried this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Ibook does not recognize external drive.

Hi,
I have a G3 ibook running 10.2x and it won't recognize my maxor external drive which was formatted fat32. All other macs I'd tried can read it. I have installed the software (for backing up) and when its running it can detect the drive, but the finder will not show it. Is there a driver or an update I can use?
Thanks
IBOOK G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x) 600 mrtz

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
FAT32 formatting is not ideal for backing up. Unfortunately you will only be able to use it for data file backing up. Many applications rely on resource files and keeping the same filenaming conventions and permissions to run smoothly in Mac OS X. FAT32 does not observe Mac OS X's conventions for this. If that does not matter to you, and there is no data on the drive you want to preserve currently, use Apple's Disk Utility to reformat it. If there is data you want to preserve on it, find out if it is readable by a PC and offload that data to another drive, and then reformat it with that Mac. It may be the drive requires a specific firmware update to work in 10.2, and that you may only be able to get from the manufacturer. Though usually Disk Utility in any version of Mac OS X will give it its blessing when you erase the drive.
Edit, if you want it to be readable by a PC, and be a solid format for backing up both applications and data files, PCs can read HFS+ with MediaFour's MacDrive:

HT201250 Time Machine does not recognize external drive at start up

I have an external WD 2TB drive which I use as my Time Machine back up drive. When I restart the iMac desktop the Time Machine drive does not start automatically and I must open Time Machine each time and remember to identify the external drive that contains my Time Machine back up data. Is there some way to make this drive the default Time Machine back up device when the system starts? It is annoying to have to remember to do this each time my machine restarts. I have a drive icon that displays as "My Book" on restart where the Time Machine icon is located but this icon is yellow and my Time Machine drive icon is blueish green. Once I set the correct drive it will go into the mode to refresh the backup (usually in 118 seconds) and then once the backup is updated then the icon become blueish green and all works normally. Please help! Thx Tom

I called Apple tech support and went through the recommended actions with doing the disk check with the Utilities and all checked out okay. They had to ask the senior support advisor and was told that it does not automatically start the Time Machine drive until the next scheduled back up. There was a misconception that this drive SHOULD be identified as the Time Machine drive on boot up but that is not the case. I waited for the next schedule back up after reboot and it DID recognize the drive and it appears to be working fine.
The Time Machine does start on boot up but does not indicate that the Time Machine is recognized until the back up is done then it is back on cycle and will operate normally until the next reboot where it will then refresh during that cycle and become recognized in green. Until that time the drive will appear as a yellow icon for the disk.
Oh, by the way, the drive has external power on my WD 2 TB drive.

FireWire does not recognize external drives anymore

FireWire devices are not recognized after using software upgrade. USB 2 still works but firewire port does not mount any external drives. How can I check if my MacBook Pro has a hardware or software problem? I appreciate any help.

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that didn't work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
If that still didn't get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Here's another Fw Faq.

Latest Update does not fix unresponsive settings

I have upgraded to the latest version of the Flash Player for Mac OS X Lion (v10.3.183.7) and I am still experiencing the unresponsive settings screen. I have made sure to completely uninstalled the prior verson, reboot and install the latest version. When I attempt to click the settings menu... it does not respond to mouse clicks. I have read that others have updated and still have this same issue. What is the fix??

This can normally be fixed by deleting the folders where Flash Player settings are kept.
On Windows see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/892474
Unfortunately I do not know where these are kept on a Mac, something 'Library'...?

Mac mini does not recognize external drive

I have an 80GB external drive full of music files. I disconnected my computer to move to a new house and, with everything re-connected, the mini does not recognize the external drive. I wonder whether it is because the internal drive is nearly full. I have tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and re-connecting the USB cable to the external drive, serching for it with the disk utility, un-pluggin the external drive power cable and re-connecting it, but I'm out of ideas. What might have happened?

Airport Extreme does not recognize external drive a drive

I have an airport extreme base station with an external drive connected to it. For quite a while the drive correctly displayed as a drive and could be used for time machine backups. All of a sudden the drive is only being displayed as a shared folder. It does not appear in disk utility drive list. If I connect this drive directly to my mini or macbook it is handled as a drive and can be used by time machine. As I said, the drive had been working perfectly for backups until somewhere around july 5. I did try loading an older firmware onto the airport, resetting the airport using the reset button, and I also upgraded the airport to the latest firmware release. All of these steps did not work.
Any feedback would be appreciated
john

this *****, pardon my language. I tried using a usb connection on a netgear router and that didn't work. someone on one of the mac forums told me it would work with an extreme base station. The description of the base station said
>>
Share your hard drive.
You can share an external USB hard drive over your wireless and wired networks by simply connecting it to the USB port on your AirPort Extreme Base Station. Called AirPort Disk, this feature is perfect for sharing files and more.
>>
like I said earlier, it did work for 10 months then just stopped. I did read the link you provided. So as it stands I just have to wait until I can dig up more cash for a new base station which isn't happening anytime soon.
oh well, thanks for the help

IWeb update does not fix nav bar problem

The subject says it. Downloaded 2.0.1 with hope, republished and uploaded pages, but nav bar still does not appear. Only black dot. Wish I could revert to previous version.

I don't know if this will solve your problem but I had the exact same experience. I have a site which I publish to a folder and then use transmit to ftp to a server. I also have the same site published to .mac. The black dot problem was only affecting the non.mac site. After iWeb 08 update I noticed a scripts folder and a feed.xml file in the site folder which I'm sure wasn't there before??? When I uploaded this folder and file as well as the index.html file it solved my problem. I'm no expert and I'm not sure why!!! but it might help...

Mac does not recognize external drive

3TB G drive, originally, before the time capsule used as a back up destination.
Now it does not show in the Finder or on the desk top when plugged into FireWire 400 port.

Hello!
Is this one of those WD drives that uses the WD Unlock Tool? Do you see anything like that in the Finder instead of the HDD itself? If so you can unlock the drive from there and use it.

G5 does not recognize external Drive for FCP

When I click on FCP it says that my scratch disks are missing, but the external drive is hooked into the firewire port. can anyone help?

You might try doing a PRAM start. To do that turn off your computer. Unplug the hard drive. Restart the computer while holding down these 4 keys simultaneously. P,R,Option & Command. Keep holding down all 4 keys until you hear the start up chime 3 times. After the computer boots up plug in the hard drive and see if it mounts.

Alert the media: software update does not fix hardware flaw of droppd calls

Hard not to be sarcastic...but did anyone actually think that changing the size and number of signal strength bars would change a hardware reception issue?? Signal strength still degrades and calls still dropping with the "death grip".
Apple, PLEASE fix this *&^%$ phone!!!

Hello @2020mh , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.

2.1.2 update does not fix DVD Navigation issues :(

The FrontRow 2.1.2 update still doesn't fix the DVD navigation issues where sub menus on MANY DVDs are not navigable. Using the up / down keys on the keyboard or remote causes the Volume to change and not navigating the menus like it is supposed to.
This is a severe issue as it makes it impossible to play some DVDs or turn on the subtitles.

Yeah, I have experienced this as well. Ridiculous -- how could this issue not have come up in product testing by the time the software has reached version 2.0? The solution on Apple's end should be obvious. All 4 directional buttons must act only as directional commands when using a DVD, and all other functions (such as volume) can only be accessible by hitting MENU first to bring up a list of other options.
I'm all for simplicity, but this is the fault of the boneheaded 6-button Apple Remote. It requires their software to overload buttons with different commands depending on context, which is clearly an unacceptable limitation. They'll have to break down and roll out a proper remote with more discrete buttons one of these days and come to terms with the fact that shoehorning everything onto 6 buttons is not an elegant solution.
