Upgrade to Mavericks does not allow connection to my Lacie external hard drive

I have updated my OS to Mavericks and since then I cannot connect to my external hard drive (Lacie Network Space 2) using my MacBook. I have tried with a PC running windows 7 and it works. Is there anything that I can do?

Hello Sir Gudo,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive. I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not being recognized.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

MUSIC IS ON A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE NUT DOES NOT IMPORT, MUSIC IS ON A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE NUT DOES NOT IMPORT

Hi, am after some guidance please. Had to buy a new PC, all my music was on an external hard drive. I am trying to import the music into the library but in the majority of cases instead of pressing the 'play' button on the folder in the external hard drive and the music transfers, the music doesn't import & I am having to sit here clicking on every single track for it to transfer. Am totalaly bored & fed up with this laborious task. Can anyone assist please? Many thanks.

Please ignore previous information posted in error....
If you don't have your original library files then you should be able to add the media folder into a new library using File > Add Folder to Library...

Acrobat does not allow connection to

Need help with this error message please. Using Win7, saved a Word 2010 table of contents with multiple links to pdf files across internal servers as a PDF. Also created the word doc w/multiple pdf links as a PDF file using acrobat9 standard and have same problems. when a user with Adobe Reader 8+ clicks on a pdf link in the PDF table of contents file, they get an error message Acrobat does not allow connection to: and they cannot open the linked file. However, I am able to open the files using the same links with both reader and acrobat.
This worked previously until we upgraded to these versions of software... the error message shows a number of % signs and multiple ////. However, i can open the fiile but others cannot.
anyone have any ideas or is this a fix that i need to download?

not sure where my previous reply went; however, there are numerous machines at varuious sites that will be accessing this server/folder. I am not sure if it is a trusted sites issue as the file lists numerous PDF links and some of them open to the respective pdf file and others recieve the mssage. All the files reside on the same server within the same main folder and within subfolders. never had the problem before. the users can open some of the linked files and others the connection msg appears. I however, am able to open the same links they get the error on. I am totally baffled by this and have been troubleshooting for weeks now. I just had acrobat X installed to see if that would help but still problem. I also saved the word doc (2010) as pdf (which lists the links to the other pdfs) but users still have same problem. there are approx 75 links within this doc and I truly hope we don't have to relink everything..

Submit PDF Form by Email (does not allow connection)

It's been sometime since I have created a PDF which included a "Submit by Email" button. I opened the original form and changed the email addresses, saved it, then opened it in Reader. Whenever I try to submit it by email a "Security Block" window pops up stating "Acrobat does not allow connection to:" I have tried to call and pay for support but get the run around. I've searched the web and only found where I need to "Extend the Rights to Reader" which I did to no avail. I've even rebuilt the form from scratch...nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks....

I created the form first in Microsoft Word, then "printed" it to create a PDF. I then use Acrobat to create a bunch of fields, and set the form for distribution.
When the user completes the form in Acrobat, and clicks on the "Submit" button, an email is created with the form as an attachment, and the body of the message is this:
Instructions to add this form to a responses file:
1. Double-click the attachment.
2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.
Those are the instructions I was referring to. The question is, is there any way to change or eliminate those instructions?

ERecruiting - Data Overview - "Acrobat does not allow connection to..."

Hello gurus,
how is it going?
I'm facing one strange problem in eRecruiting.
We've got customized smartforms for Candidate and Requisition overview.
On Candidate overview we've got part, where URL links of assigned requisitions are shown.
By opening these links, it should open Requisition overview page.
But when I want to open this link, I'm getting popup window, where is written:
"Acrobat Does not allow connection to..."
I've got Acrobat Reader X, I've updated "Trust manager" and "Security (Enhanced)" also in Page preferences.
But still facing this error.
Could you advice me, how I can solve it?
I've already read many pages on google, but still nothing....
Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Luke.

Hi,
first I have a question:
You say you have the Candidate Overview Smartforms containing links to a requisition Smartforms?
So this is a custom development isn't it?
Is the Adobe Acrobat opening within a Browser window or as a dedicated programme?
If Adobe is opened separately please check, that the Browser Integration of Adobe is active within Adobe's settings.
Links within Smartforms are relative links in general and therefore just working when called in-browser.
Best regards
Sebastian

Acrobat does not allow connection to a certain website

I have a PDF with a link to a pdf-file on a certain website. When one user clicks the link it says ( it is in dutch, so i try to translate):
Acrobat does not allow connection with www.XXXX (the name of the link where the link addresses to)
We work in Citrix, most users do not have the problem, only one user has.

Compare the Security (enhanced) and Trust Manager settings for yourself and the user on the same machine. If they are not identical, make them so. If that doesn't work,
I'm assuming the msg appears in a dialog and not the yellow msg bar.

My Macbook Pro mid 2012 is not reading/connecting to my (working)external hard disk(also not showing in disk utility)

I connected my 500GB Storjet external hard drive to my mac(Mountain Lion) http://in.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=325 but it is not connecting to it. Disk Utility is also not showing it. and the hard disk is working... My PS3, My Sony TV and my other laptop(win7) is detecting it... Also whenever it gets connected a blue light blinks, but It doesnt for mac. I have tried reformatting to both FAT32 and NTFS... Please help..
Also I sorta screwed my Mac so I had to do the internet recovery thing and only after that such problems occured, it was working fine before. So it installed Lion first and then Mountain Lion. It wasn't working on any of the OS.

Power down the Mac, Full power off. Connect the drive using the Y cable and then turn the Mac back on.
If it still doesn't show in at least Disk Utility then start checking your USB ports to see if both are working properly. Just plug in a USB thumb drive and that should show in both Finder and Disk Utility. If one of the ports isn't seeing the thumb drive then that port is bad and the system needs to be services by Apple.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do. You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time. The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze. This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders. (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.) The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

LaCie external hard drive keeps losing connection to Windows 8.1 computer

Hello all,
My LaCie external hard drive (Rugged version) seems like it keeps losing connection to my brand new Windows 8.1 laptop. The laptop is an HP Pavillion 15-p 133cl TouchSmart Notebook which I just got today. Basically, every few minutes, or if I nudge the external
a bit, the computer will seem like it disconnected and reconnected to the external hard drive in a split second and bring it up in the Windows Explorer. This external hard drive doesn't show any problems connecting to any other computer, but it has occurred
with 2/3 ports on this computer so far. I'm a bit worried, because I definitely DO NOT want the files on this external to get corrupted in any way. What should I do? Thanks a bunch.

may I know your external HDD model, to check which USB version to isolate power and cable connection issue
if this is USB 3.0 try to attached at USB 3.0 at your laptop, your laptop has 2 USB 3.0 and 1 for 2.0, for external HDD with USB 2.0 sometimes need more power / more than 1 connection, sometimes the power will loose
but since the trigger it will disconnect if you nudge the HDD, I suggest back up data to your laptop first, try to change with other data or power cable, try also update your laptop chipset
try to check with other device to isolate port issue
may I know if you are using other PC, did your external HDD also will disconnect if you nudge it?
contact your external HDD manufactured to get some suggestion

Mavericks won't recognize my lacie external hard drive

I've been using a LaCie external hard drive for my Time Machine backups and it's been working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Mavericks no longer recognizes the drive. I tested the drive out on a non-Mavericks Macbook and it booted up fine. I see there are issues with this, but wondering if anyone has a work around or if you've found there is a fix I can do? Really frustrating to not be able to access my archives or be able to back up my work!

I can not get imovie to see my external hard drive it is an HP media smart server

I can not get imovie to see my external hard drive it is an HP media smart server and I need to be able to house all my video on this server but it access in imovie.

amanda0509, I think you need to reformat the disk to something iMovie is able to work with. iMovie won't allow you to copy or move projects/events to a disk that is not formatted as a Mac OS Extended disk. Once you format it however, it won't be usable by a Windows PC. Are you trying to acces the media smart server by your Mac and also by some PC by any chance?

I'm not sure if my iPhoto library is being backed up by Time Machine. I am backing up to a LaCie external hard drive. I can open photos that are in folders but not those that are in iPhoto.

Do a restore from Time Machine. That will tell you.

LACIE external hard drive will not mount

I had this problem with Tiger too. I have to turn the LaCie external hard drive on and off 4 or 5 times before it appears on my desktop. This shouldn't be right! Can I do something about this???

Another Lacie issue (lacie 250 d2) . Similar the others. WHen I installed leopard it asked if this was the drive to use etc and i said yes. Since then it wont work. All attempts to back up have failed. I cant reformat either. Just get beachball when ever I try anything with the disk. Only way to do anything is to remove the FW connection. Tried the drive on another G4 (tiger) and it scanned and reported "disk seems ok" but then any attempt to write to the drive or any other activity is greeted with beachball.'
Rang the distributor and was told " we are having some issues with lacie and we are losing confidence ... would you like to buy a western digital" !!!

I needed memory to upgrade so I exported all of my iphoto to an external hard drive. The photos are fine but the videos are blank. I emptied the trash. Is there any way to recover the videos?

I needed memory to upgrade so I exported all of my iphoto to an external hard drive. I then deleted and emptied the trash. The photos are fine but the videos are blank. Is there any way to recover the videos? Any software recovery programs apple supported?

no official way but if you open the Apple TV and put the hd in the external case it should mount and give you access to the data on it
