Why don't my Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format FW drives appear in FCP?!

When I connect my camera via FW and try to import large files, I can't get FCP to display my FW 3TB drive. It's Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted with just the one partition. My internal drive is partitioned into three and they are all shown as drives I can create events on. The 3TB ext is also one of my TimeMachine drives.
I have another FW 2TB drive that is not a TimeMachine drive and also is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and it wont mount/display in FCP X either. They all mount and work fine in Finder.

Okay I got back another drive which is exFAT format and FCP doesn't see it either. It doesn't have any of those kinds of folder names. All unquie names not generic.
Doesn't it see it, like it didn't even formated as HFS+

  • Why do I need to reformat and erase backups on an external backup drive that I have been using for over a year, when I get this dialog box? The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required.

    The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required.
    And what's Time Capsule?

    If you're trying to use Time Machine with an external hard drive the drive must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled);
    So use Disk Utility to reformat the EHD and then open Time Machine and select the drive again.

  • Formatting an External HD as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

    I am having a challenge formatting my external hard drive in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. From reading the forums I found out that I can not copy my iMovie events to the external HD unless it is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have a Sans Digital Towerstor external HD enclosure with 2 Seagate 1.5TB hard drives in it. I have been using this setup formatted as FAT with no issues. That is until I started running out of HD space on my 24" iMac. After trying unsuccessfully yo copy my iMovie events to the external HD I found out that it was formatted incorrectly. I have since made copies of all my information and set the external hard drives to a Raid 0 configuration so I can format both drives.
    I tried many times to format my external HD's in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with no success. I kept receiving the error "Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed." I read some additional articles that suggested I try the Partition tab as opposed to the Erase tab in the Disk Utility. I was able to successfully format the drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Since this external drive is meant as a redundant backup I changed the Sans Digital Towerstor to a Raid 1 configuration so there is a mirror image of one of the drives. It would not recognize the drive after I set it back to Raid 1 so I tried to repartition the main drive again using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I received the same error as I did before..."Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed."
    I need to have the drives in the Towerstor as a mirror backup of each other as I have a lot of important information. Any adivec you can give on how to partition these drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in a Raid 1 configuration would be most appreciated.
    Thank you for you time and input.

    Thank you for your response. I was able to successfully format the drives Extended journaled when they were out of the raid configuration. I was not able to format as Extended (not journaled) in the Raid configuration.

  • Time machine on local WiFi network - OS Extended (Journaled) format error

    Hi guys,
    I did an initial Time machine backup of my Macbook Pro via Firewire to an external hard disk. Everything went smoothly and later Time Machine did regular backups without any problem.
    When I attached the external Time Machine hard disk to one of the Macs in my local WiFi network the troubles began.
    My Macbook could still see and mount the Time Machine drive via the network but didn't want to backup to this drive any longer. It came up with this error message: "The backup volume is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required..."
    When I connected the Time Machine drive back to my Macbook directly via Firewire, it resumed its backup duties without complaining. Very strange...
    Whenever Time Machine tries to excess the drive via the network (AFP shared) I get the format error message. Attached directly to the Firewire port it works flawlessly. Any suggestions how to solve the problem?
    I really want to do my backups via the wireless network and without having to plug-in the drive directly into my Macbook, which wouldn't be a very mobile solution for a laptop
    Would an Airport Extreme station with an attached USB drive behave differently?

  • Lion Install thinks that the system disk "Macintosh HD" is not Mac OS Extended (journaled); it is. Exactly what do I do in Disk Utility to "reformat" the disk, I don't see that listed on the menus.

    Error Message, during installation of Lion; “This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Use Disk Utility to enable journaling or reformat the disk.”  The disk I selected to install OS X on, was the only one listed, “Macintosh HD”. The results of a Disk Utility check are; Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled), Name: Macintosh HD. There is a fresh Time Machine backup. The computer was Restarted and installation attempted again - same result. I have downloaded Lion a second time, and tired install again, same results. The computer is a December 2007, iMac 24” with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory, s/w version 10.7.5; Disk Capacity 319 GB, Available 117 GB. Macintosh HD has alway been the system disk, does it now have an identity crisis? Would reformatting the disk mean Erasing it? Exactly what do I do in Disk Utility to “reformat” the disk, I don’t see that listed on the menus. This computer is getting cranky, I no longer Shut Down at night, only Sleep. If it’s Shut Down, the next morning I am treated to a white screen, for a long time, before it finally shows me the Log On Screen.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

    RRFS - This took me a long time to finally get to a fix. Your reply led me to investigate the Repair Disk Partition - as it turned out there wasn't one; the HardDrive was going bad slowly. The 10 to 40 minutes it took to startup in the morning, was the HD trying to find it's way. I had the 320GB HD replaced with a 2TB HD. All is OK now. Thank You very much!!  Also, the Apple store geeks couldn't make it better but the locally owned Apple retailer did just great with it. from San Luis Obispo County - Peace.

  • Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled)

    Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled).
    Does only certain branch of HDD can be connected to aireport extreme?
    I collect some information and i knew i have to partiion the HDD into Mac OS extended (journaled),
    and i did so. Still the usb HDD cannot be found.
    The other question is, can i partition the HDD into two sections, one of it is Mac OS extended(journaled) while the other is Fat32?
    I want to share Fat32 section with another PC with windows system.
    Thanks a lot if you have any suggestions.

    I had tried to set up the connection via usinb a powered usb hub as the bridge between external HDD and the airport extreme. i still cannot found the HDD in the "airport utilities".
    This is my setting.
    1. Set airport extreme  as "sharing-single-ip" mode. The wireless network functions correctly.
    2. Connect external HDD to MBA. Partition it into single-partition with Mac OS extended (journaled).
    3. The HDD can be found if i plugged it directly to my MBA.
    4. Connect a powered usb hub to airport extreme.
    5. Connect external HDD to the powered usb hub.
    6. Open airport utilities.
         a. Select "airport extreme" in the sidebar.
         b. Change the "Disks" sheet.
    7. Cannot find an external Disk
    Is there any problem here?
    Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

  • How can I transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive?

    Community,
    Every time I try to transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive, I receive the attached message: "You can't copy 'iPhoto Library' because it has the same name as another ideon on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't destinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
    My theory is, if I am able to unpackage my iphoto library, I can transfer each folder one at a time so that I can trouble shoot any "duplicates." Will this work?
    Let's say that works. How can I repackage the library so iphoto recognizes it?
    Is there a better way?
    Thank you,
    Jonathan

    Can we assume that I don't have any naming conflicts? Clearly there are or else I wouldn't get the error I'm getting.
    The error doesn't mean you have name conflicts. It means that the Finder won't take the chance that you might have them.
    You're suggesting that all I would need to do would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the files from the case-sensative harddrive to my Extended Journaled harddrive?
    Yes. But I would just use the built-in rsync shell command. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    rsync -aE --delete
    Now drag the iPhoto library you want to copy into the window. You should have something like this:
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
    Drag the Pictures folder on the destination volume into the window. Now you have this (line will wrap on the page):
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library /Volumes/something/Users/you/Pictures
    Press return. The copying operation will start. When it finishes, you'll see a new dollar-sign ("$") prompt below what you entered. If there were no errors, you're done.

  • How can I partition my external hard drive into NTFC and Mac OS Extended Journaled?

    I brought a 1tb external hard drive from Western Digital. It currently have one partition which is Mac OS X (Journaled). I want to have two partition, one Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and one NTFC for Windows. When I try to choose 2 partition and choose a partition type, I only get the following choices:
    1. Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
    2. Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled)
    3. MS-DOS (FAT)
    4. ExFAT
    5. Free Space
    I don't want to use MS-DOS (FAT) because I am limited to only 32gb of space and I need plenty of space for Windows files.

    Assuming that  entire drive is GUID and you keep the existing journaled partition.
    Make a second partition that is exFAT (more storage ability than FAT) using DU.
    Then mount the drive on a Windows 7 and reformat that exFAT as NTFS.  But remember that Mac can read and write exFAT natively, but cannot write NTFS without special software.  Perhaps exFAT is what you want.
    But more the the point: is the journaled partition used as a backup device?  If it is, I would leave that drive alone as a backup drive and use a second device for "data only" sharing between types.

  • I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

    This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
    "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
    It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
    I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.

  • How to format an external hard disk Mac Os Extended (Journaled)?

    hello
    I connect an external hard disk (2.5' IDE Western Digital Scorpio Blue, WD2500BEVE) via USB or FireWire to my Mac mini. The Disk Utility tool shows an external disk drive of 128 GB - but the disk has 250 GB. How can I format the external USB/Firewire-harddisk 250 GB "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"?
    I tried also to format the disk on a Windows PC (Windows XP). But I could not find a software to format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    Any hints on this? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    As I use theses hard disks in a external hard disk case, I'm asking me whether my hard disk cases do not support more that 128 GB disk capacity. Is that realistic?
    It is not only realistic but probably the reason your Mac cannot see more than 128 GB of the capacity of the drives mounted in them. It has nothing to do with the interface between the Mac & case (like Firewire) but instead with the controller in the case that connects the raw ATA drive to that interface. Older ATA standards used a 28 bit LBA (logical block address) scheme to access the disk. For 512 bytes per sector this works out to a maximum of 128 GB of addressable disk capacity. The ATA-6 standard, also called Ultra-ATA/100 or just ATA-100, increased the bits in the address space from 28 to 48, with a disk capacity limit of 2 petabytes.
    ATA-6 was introduced in 2001, so any external drive case made before then for ATA drives will be forever limited to 128 G. Even now, some come with a controller that does not support the ATA-6 standard, & essentially none have all the hardware to support its full 48 bits of address capacity. However, since 2 PB (2000 terabyte) drives won't be available anytime soon, all you really need is a case that is ATA-6 or better compliant & supports enough address bits for the largest drive you intend ever to put in it.
    Case makers don't usually make this information easily available but many now include a "bullet" spec about the maximum capacity their case supports, typically rounded off to simple numbers like 320 GB, 500 GB, or whatever. If you can't find this info, you can assume that the newer the case the more likely it is to support larger capacity drives, or just buy one with a good return policy & test it yourself with the largest raw drive you own.

  • HT4407 Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?

    Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?
    My first thoughts were that 'bootcamp' was out of date...needed an upgrade to register windows 7. Since then I am once again met with the same problem... how can it not see the I have already have a paritioned drived ready to be used for installition, is there a way to fix this problem? I don't really want to pay out for 'i-parition' only to merge my 2 drives back into one and start again from scratch =/. Seems silly to do so...what are my options?
    Regards Swishi...p.s If anyone can help me...it'll make my day :3.

    You don't need to buy anything but you should have backups.
    you can delete #2 you created. Then resize to full drive.
