With the new FCPX 10.1, my external hard drive is not being recognized.

Today I updated my FCPX application to 10.1, but when I plugged in my 'passport for mac' (which has all my important 500 GB projects on it)
It does not come up like it used to. I have tried to import the files as libraries, but either it doesnt work, or I am doing it wrong.

File>Upgrade Projects and Events, then take the Locate route and choose that drive.

My toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it. I have the preferences checked to show icon and have checked utilities folder. nothing. Help!

I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

A few things to try:
1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
2-Zap the PRAM
3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3. Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

My external hard drive that I use as a backup is not being recognizedc by my MAC PRO. Usually I get the icon for the backup, when I attach it to my computer, but that isn't happening. What can I do?

Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

External Hard Drive is not being recognized by Firewire 400

Hi everyone,
I update my Mac OS X (Leopard) last night, so this morning when I was going to connect my External Hard Drive (EDD) to my MacBook; the Firewire, which I normally used through Firewire 400, did not recognized my EDD. However, I tried by connecting using the USB option and it recognized the EDD working perfect. Thus, I would like to know how do I turn the Firewire 400 on/available, since it seems not being working properly.
Thanks a lot,
M
Macbook (Intel) early 2007.

if you have the power supply that comes with the external, use that if you haven't use it instead of rely on bus powered port.
connect your external, click blue apple on top left corner > about this mac > click more and on system profiler click firewire, and see if your external detected there.
You can try to reset PRAM to refresh your hardware behavior too:

External Hard Drive is not being detected

I recently purchased an iomega 1.5TB external hard drive and I cannot detect it anywhere in my computer. I can hear the device hum and start running once I connect the two, so I'm assuming there is enough power, but the computer can't see it. Please help someone!

Does it appear in Disk Utility?
Have you tried FINDER PREFERENCES>GENERAL and checked off the appropriate boxes?
Ciao.

New Seagate 1TB external hard drive is not being selected by MacBook Pro

My new Seagate 1TB external HD is not being identified by the MacBook Pro (10.7.5 Mac OSX). Whereas the same being recognized by a WIN8 OS based PC. I need a format wherby the external HD should be recognised by both Mac OS and Win.
Kindly help.
Pls note my system is being run on safe mode, as there is a problem in the left shif key. Hence, while booting, it is automatically being shifted to the safe mode. I need to format the external HD, so that I can transfer to store my data.

If you want the drive to be able to both read and write on OS X and a Windows machine, you should format the drive as exFAT on the Windows machine. As to why the drive is not recognized when you boot into Safe Mode, that may be because the drive is formatted for another OS and it MAY BE that it's disabled when you run in Safe Mode (which disables a long list of things: see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US).
If you format it as exFAT on the Windows machine, you MAY BE able to have it mount on your Mac. No guarantees, though.
Good luck,
Clinton

External Hard Drive no longer being recognized in Finder

My Seagate Ecternal Firewire hard drive was accidently unplugged a few minutes after transferring about 11gb of files to it. When I plugged it back in it is giving me the Error Message: DISK INSERTION then below that it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." It shows up in Disk Utility but gives me no options under the First Aid Category. Is there anything I can do to get the files that were on there back? A friend told me he believes I just unplugged it while it was doing some sort of "janitorial type work" after the file transfer because no applications were running at the time that it was unplugged. I dont see why unplugging it at that time would make me lose 250+gb worth of information, and I really hope that isnt the case. If anyone can give me some tips to figure out what exactly is wrong, or a place to go/ software to use to fix it, please let me know. thankyou

Vaio wouldn't know Mac file system from a hole in the wall unless it has Mediafour's Macdrive software.
It isn't so much updating 10.3, it is more updating your Disk Warrior to match your operating system. What version of Disk Warrior do you have?
P.S. note this is the 10.4 forums for Tiger. 10.3 is Panther. Future questions regarding 10.3 should be directed to the 10.3 and earlier forums. Though I'm happy to continue to try to solve your problem here.

My external hard drive isn't being recognized

I have an extrenal drive I used to back up my dvds for faster viewing and the drive is going out I think. It will disconnect midway through movies, when uploading or downloading to/from it it will sometimes just disconnect itself. about 75-80% of the time its plugged in it wont show up. I can't attempt to transfer more than about 3 gigs of information or else if ejects itself, and it won't even show up in disk utility.
How can I get this crazy drive to be recognized so I can keep working on transfering the data back off it before it dies completely

OK, so are there any volumes listed for that disk in Disk Utility? And how does it not allow you to repair the disk? Is the option grayed out? Try clicking on the disk AND the volume and comparing the options for each.
For example:
149.1 GB FUJITSU MHW2160BHPL Media
|- Macintosh HD
|- disk0s3
186.3 GB Prolific PL3507 Combo Device *(On this disk…)*
|- Time Machine *(…here is my Time Machine volume.)*
|- Windows Extra

External Hard Drive is not responding

I started to notice this in the last couple days that my external hard drive is not responding to my imac. I could browse the hard drive, but I would not be able to open any file. And, any application that tries to open file from the drive would fail or would result in "no response".
The only way I could fix the problem is by unplugging the drive completely and then re-connecting it back.
My external HD is a 1TB western digital.
Is this the sign of my external HD failing?
Thanks!

How full is the hard drive?
Have you used Disk Utility to try and repair the hard drive?

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

With the new fcpx...can we use the plug ins I paid for..like FxFactory?

It's highly likely, Apple are not in the habit of shooting themselves in the foot and have an excellent track record for handling major architectural transitions (68000 to PowerPC, PowerPC to Intel, OS 9 to OS X etc) but of course nothing can be guaranteed until further official announcements are made. Your existing software however will certainly continue to work for some time yet to come with compatibility for the existing FCP, Motion, After Effects versions.
Why not drop an email to FxFactory / Noise Industries support?

I am struggling! Help! I need to move 3500 pics-in TIFF format in 175 folders and sub folders from my old PSE6, Windows XP to my new PSE13, Windows8.1. I have the PSE6 backed up on an external hard drive. What is the safe way to do this? Can anyone at Ado

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. I no longer have access to the old computer. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:
