Why would Lacie external drive stop working?

My iMac has a Lacie used for TMachine but now it doesnt appear on desktop, Disk Utility and About This Area. The external power unit and USB cable look good too.
Any idea of the cause (or guess)
thx

If you get a SATA USB drive cable kit adapter, you can get the HDD out of the enclosure
& attach the wires (plugs) into the drive to see if you can recover files directly; these kits
usually have their own power supply if to be used with 3.5" HDDs; while there are kits
for 2.5" HDDs that presume port-power is adequate.
Most computer stores have something along this line; be sure to ask of their return policy just in case it doesn't work, or is the wrong kit.
Hopefully you can get the goods outta it.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why would my "send" button stop working while I am messaging another ipad3? The send button is still blue.

Hi Freedom666,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue (receiving mail from Gmail to iPad, sending mail from iPad to Gmail, or both). If you are having issues sending or receiving mail on your iPad, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

Time Machine Backup on External Drive Stops working after one week

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Time machine backup on an external LaCie drive. After e few days, it suddenly locks up, not performing any backup unless I force-restart my computer and switch off the drive.
*My setup*:
- iMac Alu 24 with MacOS X 10.5.1 and 3Gb RAM
- LaCie external drive 320 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> this is the one used for the bakcups, it is left powered on at any time (never switched off)
- 2 other LaCie external drives 160 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> they are generally switched off
TimeMachine is setup to its default scenario, backing up automatically on the external 320 Gb.
*Daily usage* :
- the iMac is set to boot automatically at 6:45
- I usually switch it off manualy at the end of the day
- Screen Saver is set to launch after 5 minutes
- sleep time for computer is set to 1:30 hour
- display sleep 15 min
- hard disk are set to sleep whenever possible
First symptom : the computer never goes to sleep
Second symptom : I had the following problem already twice since I installed Leopard, once with the original install and today with the updated 10.5.1 version:
- automatic backups went fine during the whole day : 7:45 8:45 9:45...
- then an automatic backup starts but never finishes
*Console log extract* :

How do I format a new lacie external drive to work on a mac and pc?

i have a new lacie external drive. I want to partition it into 2 parts, one to use in Macs and the other in PCs.
How do I do this in Disk Utility?
thanks!

Click on the entire drive in the Disk Utility's sidebar, then on the Partition tab, and set it up. Format one partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the other as MS-DOS.

My external drive stopped working on Time capsule

Hello,
I installed a 1.5 TB drive on my Time Capsule about 6 months ago. It has been working fine till the other day. The drive works OK when connected directly to my mac, but on the time capsule it works for a long time backing up then says:
The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up . if the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
The problem started when I entered Time Machine to recover some files. I discovered the files were not being backed up so I quit Time Machine. The next time TM tried to back up, it reported that it could not back up because someone else was using the volume. The TC volume was still mounted and I could not eject it. I have seen this happen before, and have not had much luck using 'lsof' to identify the culprit, so I started quitting applications 1 or 2 at a time, and every hour TM would report that the volume was still being used. Finally I had quit all applications and logged out and logged back in again, and the volume was still there, so I restarted.
I would have thought that would have fixed the problem, but then the other problem started --- it would try to back up and near the end of the process, report the error. Finally I removed the drive from the TC, hooked it up to my macbook and ran Disk Utility, which reported it was fixing a minor problem in a header.
I moved the drive back to the TC and the error persisted. I moved the drive back to my mac and ran Time Machine. It didn't recognize that it was connected to the same volume, so it annoyingly did a full backup, consuming another 200GB of my backup drive. But it worked, and it continued to work every hour till I disconnected it and hooked it up to the TC and started getting the same error again. Why would TM work OK with the same drive on the mac and not the TC?
Any help to resolve this would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks very much. This is a great resource. The log file showed problems with a git object so I excluded the subdirectory, and the backup finally succeeded. It then proceeded to check the whole archive, I guess, bit by bit. The TM status said "Finishing backup..." with lots of network traffic for about 10 hours!! I just let it go and it finally finished.
I attached the drive to my computer again and deleted the extra backup that it had done.
Don't know what if anything was wrong with that file (actually the log complained about a number of files in that directory). I checked my disk with DU and it reported no problems. I have subsequently cloned that git repo several times and the OS has no trouble copying those files.
Thanks again..

Why have my USB drives stopped working in my MacBook but work in all PCs?

I currently have a MacBook (older version), and recently my USBs stopped working properly. As soon as I put it into the Mac I get a message saying that it wasn't ejected properly, and it won't open the files. However I haven't had this problem on any PCs I use.
I really need to do work at home as I am a teacher and am also currently writing a Thesis - and not being able to work at home is a disaster!!
I have a very basic understanding of computers, so would really appreciate anyone's advice and help in how to get this issue fixed.
Thank you.
Elly

I'd be worried about this. I'd expect the mac to open the files on the flash drive with a warning message.
I'd recommend that you backup all your data on these flash drives on your pc.
-- Flash drives are very cheap these day, get more.
-- are you ejecting the flash drives properly from Windows? You should.
-- There is an option to turn off displaying flash drives on your desktop. Finder > Preferences..
for me I check Hard disks
-- You could use disk utility to repair the filesystem.

Why has my cd drive stopped working?

I don't know why, but my cd drive seems to want to work when ever it feels, I was using it a while ago and then went to use it again a week later and found it to be broken. If I put a CD in it will make weird noises then reject the disk, please help!

Mac Pro
Is a desktop.If this is what you have, post in the Macbook Pro forums.
If you actually have a MBP (notebook), your optical drive is broken. If you have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it. Out of warranty, purchase an external optical drive. It will be cheaper than having your MBP drive repaired.

Toshiba external drive stopped working

Hi,
I purchased maybe 4-6 months ago a Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black from amazon and one day it just suddenly stopped working and I was wondering if any one knew how to get it working again on my mac or windows machine, please as it has a lot of important data

it is this hard drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004NE76KQ/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
it makes no sounds or noises on my mac but when I plug it into my windows machine it does make a noise but then there is nothing in my computer and it will not recognise the device at all
Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black
warranty is valid but I really hope I can save the files

After resuming from sleep, external drive stopped working, won't mount!

I put my mini to sleep, and have a 750GB SATA drive in an external enclosure that I had connected to it. The drive enclosure has it's own power which stayed on. When I clicked the power button on the mini to wake it up, I got a "device removal" error telling me the device was not put away properly. Since then I can't get my drive to mount. I've tried rebooting, disconnecting and reconnecting everything. It won't even show up in disk utility. I also have MacDrive on my PC, and tried connecting it via FireWire 800 and USB, and it won't show up on my PC either.
PLEASE HELP! I need this drive for work and I'm stuck until I can get it working again. Thanks!

No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

Why would my home sharing stop working

my home sharing from my desk top to my laptop stopped working. can someone tell me why it stopped. cant get my itunes library copied to my laptop

I am having the same problems now as well. Just did the OS update this morning. Before the update, I could view purchased TV shows on my Apple TV and now, I get a message saying to access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Shairng in itunes. Have done that, and restarted everything. Nothing works so far.

TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
as to how to fix. Thanks in advance

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Why did my external monitor stop working

I bought a brand new iMac on Saturday. Came home. Migrated from my MBAir (mid-2011). Plugged in my Samsung 27' TV (via Moshi HDMI to Thunderbolt converter) and it worked just great. Beautiful picture on both iMac 27 AND Samsung...Until this morning. Now, external monitor doesn't work. I've done various resets (per forum posts) NOTHING else has changed...Any ideas?

By the way...My MBA doesn't work (suddenly) either!

External Drive Stopped Working

Hi all,
I have an external USB Freecom drive which is self powered - until now it has been mounting with no difficulties but for the last two days it is not mounting at all - I see nothing under /Volumes. I have tried it in both USB ports to no avail. The drive is on as I hear it start up as usual and it makes the normal noises that I am used to but OS X fails to pick it up. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be or how to resolve it?
I am on a Mac Book Pro using 10.4.11
Thanks.

Does it have an external power supply port? Use it. Test it on another computer. Test a different USB device on your computer. Do some sort of elementary troubleshooting.
If you have access to a two ended USB cable you can try that as well so it takes power from both ports or try a powered USB hub but the power supply option is a good place to start.
Next drive you buy get a bus powered firewire drive and in addition to less hassle it will actually perfrom well as USB drives really don't.

Why would double-tap zoom stop working?

I created a Pages document, into which I've put a number of photos. All are inline; longest dimension 1600 pixels, exported from Aperture at 200 dpi. (Liz Castro suggests max 1600 pixels so it will zoom to full screen.)
I export as ePub. Formatting works. All pics are there, but when I double-tap a pic, it remains the same size, but is surrounded with a white border that fills the rest of the screen.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
Thanks. I downloaded it and it does, indeed, come up full page in landscape. The interesting thing is that is that other blogs show that much larger pics also work correctly.
Liz Castro includes pics sized to 1600 x 1200, and which also come up full screen landscape when double-tapped
http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/2011/01/expandible-photo-blocks-in-ibooks-on.h tml
While I see that your approach works, the above example suggests that there are other ways, that don't require this kind of work around.
Many thanks for your thoughts and examples, but I'm afraid I must be doing something wrong at another point in the process. Right now I'm reinstalling Pages to see if that helps. (Earlier I deleted plists, which didn't help.)
Thanks again.

My macbook hard drive stopped working and I loaded another hard drive and can access time capsule but it doesn't show any of my old files and I don't understand why

My 7 year old macbook hard drive stopped working and I put in another hard drive but when I went to restore my information from airport time capsule it only shows today and nothing older. Help?

Did you do a TM backup after you installed the disk? It may write over the previous backup.. but it should actually start a new one.
Read the info about using migration.. see http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
Or the Mac is probably looking at the backup as from a different computer.
See the details of how to use TM to restore to a different Mac.
Q17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I would read through 14-17 carefully.
You should be able to do a full recovery of the TM backup to a USB drive plugged into the computer.
