Yosemite doesn't recognize my built in RAID drives

I have a MacPro circa 2010-2011. After installing Yosemite, it lost contact with and could not (or would not) locate my RAID drive. Built into the machine. Also, I have a backup drive built into the machine, so I was able to revert. But I'm concerned about updating if I lose all of my data.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Anyone have a solution?

This is all without hardware Apple Pro RAID controller?
How many drives? it would be an array volume, not "drive" and it can have multiple partition slices.
Have you considered www.SoftRAID.com version 5 at all?
Much easier to manage and handling of arrays, errors, and to manage partitions.
When it comes to arrays and a new OS I would be prepared to delete and use the new OS to reload after creating new volume(s).
As for RAID, this should be for media - not the system, the system being on a fast SSD and arrays - even when talking 15K drives in the past, aren't worth the added problems unless it is a mirror array and you need 24/7 for some reason where a clone (which you need anyway for backup) that can be popped in and be on your way in under 30 minutes.
Yes there was someone a couple weeks ago that had trouble.
Do a clean system install with all the other drives removed.
Save the installer before it deletes itself so move it to another safe place.
Use Setup Assistant after Yosemite is up and running and has all the current updates applied.
(that is also a good time to clone the system too, btw)
I don't see mention of type of drives and model and capacity, or type of array.
Yosemite makes some changes to how volumes are handled.

Osx Yosemite doesn't recognize shot capture date photos

Apparently OSX Yosemite doesn't recognize shot (capture) date of the photos.
The problem has highlithted after installing new Photo app, in which every photo is imported using the Creating date of the file, not the Shot date.

Try trash the following file
com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
from HD/Library/ Caches
and restart your mac.

Use the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install of the software you need, i.e. iPhoto. The disk should look like #4 in this screenshot:

My macbook air doesn't recognize the built-in facetime camera

my macbook air (late 2010) no longer recognizes the built-in camera. It was working fine until now, and I am not sure if there is some sort of diagnosis that I can run to try to resolve this myself?

im having the same problem. But it's on macbook pro 2011. pls help us.

My new 24in imac doesn't recognize my usb external hard drive- snow leopard

i was attempting to do a new time machine back up on my new mac but it won't recognize the usb external hard drive (kaser 250gb). i used it frequently on my old g5 imac, no problems. i plugged the hard drive into my g4 ibook and it recognized it right away. i followed the apple tip of pulling the power plug out of the wall power socket and pulled all the usb cables out as well (i have the wireless keyboard). i let it rest for over 5 minutes and only plugged in my wacom stylus and usb external hard drive. still nothing. and it doesn't show either in disk utility. i also downloaded as per another thread the 3g ntfs system preference but to no avail. the only thing i can of doing is erase and reformat my external on my ibook, but i don't want to risk loosing the data without a back up.
anything else i can try? (before i buy time capsule) thanks

i just checked again by plugging the external into my ibook g4 and checked how it was formatted - mac os extended (journaled).
Then the 3GFS software is not required at all.
i have an idea, not sure if it will work and it will have to wait a couple days until i get my firewire back from a friend, but this is what i'm thinking: my intel imac has a 1tb hard drive. could i use target mode between my imac and ibook? with my ibook i'd attach the external hard drive, then using the firewire and target mode start it up. hoping that the ibook hard drive and the attached external hard drive would show on my intel mac for which i could copy over the external back ups onto my imac. once completed, i could erase and reformat the external on my ibook and then try again on my imac to see if it appears on my desktop. do you think this might work (even though it is correctly formatted already?)
I use Target mode on a regular basis for mounting the internal drive on a Mac to transfer or salvage data. I don't know if you will be able to connect to an external drive on the Target computer. There's not usually any reason for this and I don't know if the Target Mode will enable the Logic board to deal with the USB ports and transfer data. I kinda doubt it, but other more experienced users can jump in here.
I don't think the problem with your external drive is the format, since you've already checked it and it is already formatted for a Mac. Intel Mac's will mount drives formatted by a PPC Mac with no problems, unless your OS doesn't support the chipset in the USB case that connects to the drive. There are some USB drives that are known to not work well with SL but worked fine with Leopard.
You can buy a cheap USB case (about $30) and move the drive from the old case to the new case, or buy a USB to IDE adaptor cable (about $20), or you can buy a larger external drive that will work on the iMac and use the G4 to transfer the date from the old drive to a new one. Or you can take both drives to a friend with a Mac and use Disk Utility to restore the USB drive to a partition on the Firewire drive. That doesn't fix the USB drive to work with your new Mac, but unless the vendor comes out with a firmware fix, I think that's a lost cause anyway.
other than the above, i may just go buy a 1tb time capsule,
I would not be getting a Time Capsule to back up a single computer. Wireless backups are a lot slower than FireWire or USB (of course, it's the initial backup that takes so much time). If you do have several Mac's that need a TM backup volume, then the Capsule can help you out. It is supported by Apple (and there are a lot of users here in the forums). I'm using a ReadyNAS device for network backups, but it is not supported by Apple, and I have to rely on NetGear for fixes if an OS update breaks my backup system.
BTW, it's a good chance that a TC device will be able to see and mount your USB drive. The incompatible chipset problem with some drives seems to be limited to the USB drivers in SL which the TC is not running. That's why I said that a USB hub may also let you see your drive, the problem is there's no guarantee's...

Yosemite doesn't recognize iCloud password

I have Yosemite installed in 4 Macs. In 3 of them I chose a different password from iCloud. In the only one that I chose to log in using my iCloud password, it simply refuses to accept it in the first login trial after installation. Why?

Hi bassemfrombucuresti,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iCloud on your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature or context of the issue you are describing. When exactly are you being asked for your password, and/or what are you signing out of? If you continue to have account or password issues with iCloud, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Sincerely,
- Brenden

Yosemite doesn't recognize my new Apple ID

In August 2014, we changed our AppleID from an email address we had for many years because of a change in internet providers. Today after downloading Yosemite I can't set up my iCloud etc... because the old email address is listed as my AppleID. I checked and my new one is the current ID.
What do I do?

You have to sign out of the old one in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in with the new one.

Yosemite doesn't recognize special characters in password when logging in

Hi everyone,
I installed Yosemite yesterday on my mid-2011 MBA and discovered that after restarting it, I was unable to log into it. First, I'd like to precise that I'm using a French keyboard, it could have an importance afterwards.
The password I use for my account is quite complex and uses a special character. Until now, it worked perfectly, but I discovered that, on Yosemite, I have to type twice the special character and the one after, in order to get it worked. Otherwise, it acts like if I haven't typed these two.
Also, this behavior is kind of weird because if I log out, I don't have the issue: it works perfectly. So the issue is just after a shut down/restart.
The only way I could restart the first time was by using the tool made from Apple when you loose your password (pressing the power button until it shuts down). Once my laptop entered that mode, I could just type my current password and choose a new one. But still, I don't get why it works on every screen, except the one after a shut down/restart.
I hope Apple could bring a quick fix for that because it's really annoying. Also, if someone gets the same issue, try to type twice the special character(s) and maybe the one(s) that is/are just after.
Bye.

A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"

Image Capture doesn't recognize my Built-in iSight Camera

I'm trying to use Image Capture but when I open the application is shows the following message:
"No scanner or camera connected".
It's supposed the camera is connected because I'm also using Skype video call (not at the same time I'm trying to use Image Capture) and there's no problem with it.
Image Capture was working perfectly couple months ago, now it isn't.
Does somebody know what the problem might be?
Thanks for your comments and opinions.
Sebastian.

image capture doesn't use the isight, it's for other digital cameras & scanners. use the screen capture ability. hold, command shift, press 4 & tap spacebar to see a camera icon. click on an open / active window when it's lighted in blue, click the mouse. saves the pic as a png on your desktop.

I moved to Mavericks and now my imac doesn´t recognize my Seagate Goflex external drive.

why my imac does not recognize my Seagate Freeagent goflex after upgrading to Mavericks?

Luke 1248 First welcome to the discussions.
If the Toshiba worked before the upgrade it will work again.
First thing I would do is Unplug it the go to your Black Apple and make sure that your Software is UP TO DATE.
Restart your computer and then Plug in the Toshiba again and see what you have. If it still doesn't work Go to Toshiba's Web Site and see if they offer a New Driver for there Product. I hate to say this but Apple sent the Maverickks Operating System to All of the SoftwareDevelopers to make sure there product worked with the different periphrials and softwares.
Some are a lot faster at responding then others, and naturally all users try to blame Apple on there products or Software not working. The fact of the matter is it is those that have made the software and different periprials who are to blame for sitting on there hands.
Come back and tell me if this worked for you.
Cheers
Don

My power mac doesn't recognize my external firewire Hard Drives anymore

I was working with my Power mac as usual, it freeze, after rebooting, any of my firewire hard Drives apears

Hola Alfredo:
En primer lugar, nadie debe estar utilizando la versión 10.4.2 del Sistema Operativo. Actualízalo a 10.4.11 a la brevedad posible. Vas muy atrasado con esa versión tan obsoleta.
Intenta inicializar tu máquina después de haber apagado y encendido de nuevo las unidades de disco duro.
Si no las ve tu Mac en esas circunstancias, pueden haberse dañado, y eso requerirá otras medidas adicionales.
Si tienes DiskWarrior, pruébalo primero. Luego con Disk Utility de Apple.

Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

(1) Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc. Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
(2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
(3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account. Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

New imac doesn't recognize firewire 400

Just got the new imac and transferred all data from my old (non-intel) imac using a firewire 400-to-800 adapter.
Now, my new imac doesn't recognize my external (400 firewire) drives anymore. One of the drives has an USB which works with the new mac but transfers are very vey slow. The other drive has only firewire 400 and doesn't get recognized at all.
Any solutions?
Thanks.

Adapters can be troublesome, I'd recommend replacing with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable like this one. You can normally find these at your local computer store, Radio Shack or of course Amazon.

Media Sync Doesn't Recognize Device

Just got an unlocked Curve 8320. Inserted a media card, and downloaded Media Sync to my PC, not the whole Desktop Manager. Media Sync now doesn't recognize my device; have tried this tons of times! And, my computer itself doesn't recognize it as a USB drive as well. My device does have the 4.5 software loaded. Is it possible to just drag and drop music files to my microSD card since I can't use Media Sync? Also, does my blackberry have to be connected via USB for me to use Roxio Media Manager? Or can I just insert my media card? Didn't want to download the whole Desktop Manager w/ Media Manager since it already doesn't recognize my device. Aagh!

Windows Vista
Have not tried another cable, but the phone CAN charge using this same cable
Laptop computer
Using side USB port, have only 2 on the side
Under Universal Serial Bus Controller: Intel Family USB Universal Host Controller-2830, plus other prior ones installed
USB Root Hub
Also, I do not have Desktop Manager or anything else downloaded. Without having that stuff, should my computer be able to recognize my Blackberry; at least as a USB drive?

Hi there! yesterday I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't mount my external hard disk drive anymore, which he did a week ago (without the update). Is there anyone out there who knows a solution?

Hi there! Yesterday, I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't recognize my external hard disk drive anymore (at least not on the desktop. In Germany they call it "it doens't mount it". I don't know if it's the same expression in english?)
I just used it a week ago, before I did the update and it worked perfectly fine.
Is there anyone out there who knows a solution for this problem? I've been googleing for hours now and can't find any answer.
Thank you!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
