Updated to Mavericks now my Toshiba External HDD 3.0 won't mount need help what to do

I recently updated to mavericks now my toshiba external hard drive wont connect and i have some important data need help to get drivers im assuming its the drivers but need help to locate the drivers

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • External HDD recognised but won't mount/unmount

    I have a 300GB Maxtor HDD in an Icy Box enclosure which I have been using with my PC for over a year now and my Macbook for the last few months.
    Lately, I have been having some really annoying issues with it. In short, the drive won't appear to mount (ie it won't show up in the sidebar in Finder or on my desktop) but seemingly it has according to Disk Utility. The drive appears in the sidebar with a 'no entry' sign on it. Trying to verify or repair it in DU results in an error message saying that the drive cannot unmount. Restarting solves nothing. The only way I have found to resolve the issue is to plug it into my PC, fire it up and then disconnect it before using it again on my Mac. This is far from ideal.
    I recently installed VMWare Fusion which definitely caused this problem the first time. I shut down Fusion without 'safely disconnecting' the drive from XP and then disconnecting it from Fusion first. I understand that it may be that Fusion is still accessing a file on the drive preventing it from unmounting but I would have thought that a restart would resolve that issue - it doesn't.
    I know about the 'lsof' function in Terminal but I do not know what to do after I get the results from it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    looks like your in trouble with that drive,  I assume its a 1TB HD?
    It shows on your pic  1TB available, .......bad news,.... run Etrecheck to verify you dont have WD software on your Mac

  • External HDD Fine, But won't MOUNT.

    Hi, I have been having this problem as of today. The drive appears in Disk Utility, everything seems to be fine, Verify and Repair turn out OK. But wont mount... Any suggestions? I really dont want to partition or format before maybe saving files first.
    Have tried to mount on different enclosures, USB and Firewire.
    Thanks!

  • Updated to mavericks, now windows 7 partition freezes on boot

    i have a late 2012 macbook pro, just updated to mavericks, now w7 64bit boot freezes on grey load screen.  tried SMC/PR resets, just got off the phone with support and they don't have a clue on what to do to resolve the issue other than a reinstall (if my only option is reinstall I might abandon bootcamp and try another option).  any advice?

    Hello,
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Re: Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external HDD

    Toshiba Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external hdd store.e canvio.
    Al other thosiba laptops in the familie work with the store.e canvio and a lot of older coputers?????

    If your external HDD is not recognized, then this can be caused by low power supply from USB port or its simply an software issue.
    The Toshiba page http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/chd/store-externe-festplatten/canvio/ says that STOR.E CANVIO needs 900mA
    The usual USB 2.0 standard provides 500mA
    So you need an USB Y cable to connect such HDD to two USB 2.0 ports

    Hi jonnarink,
    Try this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    In short:
    1) Make sure the iPhone is not connected to USB and, if it is on, turn it off by holding the power button and the home button together(takes about 6 seconds)
    2) Once it's completely off, hold down the home button
    3) While holding home, connect the USB cable and keep holding home until iTunes recognises the iPhone
    It will force the iPhone into recovery mode, then you can connect to iTunes and restore your backup. Bear in mind that it will likely need to be updated to 5.0.1 anyway.
    :edit:
    Sorry, just saw Ralph Landry1's post above mine(typed mine a while ago, only posted now!) with the same link

    It's hard to tell what's wrong with your Apple ID. Maybe the country you have registered is different from what your friend have registered. Apps are available differently in different areas. That's what I see.

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

    Did you do the Reset Network Settings as I described above?
    There is no way to go back. You can try reseating your nanoSIM or replacing it. Or call your cell provider and have them check the provisioning on your phone.
    Or Restore your iPhone from your backup in iTunes.

  • Updated to Mavericks, now having Outlook 2011 issues.

    Okay this is probably a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.  I just updated to OS X Mavericks, now when my display on my MacBook Pro goes to sleep, and I have Outlook 2011 running (I have it set up on a schedule to send/receive emails) I get 2 different messages when the schedule runs and the display is asleep.
    "Connection to the server failed or was dropped" and  "Inactivity timeout".
    If I hit the send/receive after the display wakes up.. no problem, it gets the mail.  Display asleep and the schedule runs, I get the errors above.
    I updated the Office 2011 service pack, and all updates to see if that helped, it didin't.
    Everything was working fine with OS X Mountain Lion, as soon as I updated to Mavericks this all started. Anyone have a fix for this? Or is it something I have to live with.  I tried an experiment and the native Mail program works fine when the display is asleep.
