Yosemite: problem with external disk

Hello,
After installing Yosemite I cannot use Time Machine anymore because the external disk (WD My Passport Edge) cannot be mounted. Does someone know what to do? Thanks in advance for your help.
The Disk Utility Program shows the external disk however none of the action button is active.

See mount section at the end.

Problem With Target Disk Mode

Folowing upgrade of my Mini and Powerbook to Tiger I have a problem with target Disk Mode when I attempt to eject the transfer to disk following transfer of my user file. I get an error message to the effect that files are in use and the disk can not be ejected. I try force quit (finder only is running) usually to no effect. Sometimes attempting to verify disk permissions in disk utility will clear the problem and allow me to eject the disk. One time it took close to an hour attempting to eject the disk. Is there another way?
PB Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I had this problem with external volumes like ZIP discs and also external hard drives. Sometimes it was an app used on one of the external files still being open (eg. Word for a text file) which had to be quitted first. The "trackpad" button equals the mouse button which is on the PowerBook. Repairing the target disk via disk utility might also help.

Problems with external context mapping

Hi ,
I am having the following problems with external context mapping from one WD component to another.
Problem description:
In the <i>Component Interfaces</i> I have defined a WD interface "InfA".
In the <i>interface controller</i> of this compoenent,I have ContextA and attributeA(cardinality 1..1).The contextA is marked as an "Input Element".
Now my webdynpro componentB adds InfA as used component.In componentB I decalre a contextB with attributeB and map it to contextA to set up the external context mapping.
Now I expect that if any webdynpro component implements this WD interface InfA ,he has access to contextA with the data getting filled from contextB.
After i have created the component for the used component I try to fill values in the source node contextB thru this code:
wdContext.currentContextB.setB(value);
But in the runtime I keep getting error nullPointerException for nodeContextB,suggesting that the mapping has not been completed.
Can anyone suggest due to what the error can come ,and, if its a webdynpro bug ,is there a workaround??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Sourav

HI,
Valery : I personally checked by doing the example, if the names of value attribute are different in the child's interface and parents component controller then it throws the exception.
Sourav: NullPointer Exception is thrown when something is not properly initialised, if in the main component the cardinality of mapped origin is 1.1 then you need to access it element directly like:
wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setFname("Abhijeet");
wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setLname("M");
i will suggest just check out if you are declaring some element of value node and without initialising taking its use or what?
if this doesnt solve your problem, please post the expanded exception.
hope it helps
let me know if you face nay problem

we made some test with parameter BYPASS_INB_HANDLER, set as 'X' but this not solve our issue.
We have an implementation in badi BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to map product category, even if I set an external breakpoint in this implementation, system does not pass through it, also we test with this implementation inactive and behavior is the same, nothing transfer to shopping cart
Does anyone know what's missing?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
José Luis D.

Hello Jason,
Thank you for your answer, but as I told, If I set an external breakpoint it does not stop for debugging, so I can't see table as you recomended. This process (debugging) is familiar to me, in last version I can do it.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance, best regards

I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

Problem with External 2.1 digital speakers

Anybody have any problems with external digital speakers connected to the SPDIF connection? I have a 1215-600XT, and I tried connecting my old DELL Boston Acoustic 2.1 speakers. They worked, but any time a "sound" played, a loud pop would follow the end of the sound track. If its multiuple sounds (i.e. an application that is making numerous alert sounds) I get multiple pops. It even happens at the endf of music tracks. It was so annoying, I stopped using the speakers. before I invest in another set of speakers, want to know I am not wasting my time.
Also, anyway of getting the soundcard to support digital 2.1 or other sound? The set-up screen only shows stereo for external speakers and no way of adding more.
Sincerely
Scott

pmoney,
If you need a RMA, you will need to contact Customer Support either via email or phone. Also, it may be a fault with the sub and not just the cable alone, anyway contact Customer Support and they will be able to assist further.

When login, i see a error message saying " there is a eminent problem with hard disk " smart check

G72-250US Notebook , Win 7 64 Home Premium,
Error :
When i login " There is a eminent problem with Hard disk, SMART check faled" ,Prmary hard disk self test failed .
Please help me with ths problem

Hi,
If this message is coming up in a black screen.
Then the harddrive in the system is about to go bad or already bad.
If you are able to boot to windows, FIRST BACKUP DATA.
Also run a startup test by tapping F2 as soon as you power on the system.
The smart test is a BIOS feature in most of the computer which is designed to keep cust informed if the HDD is about to go bad. But their are instances where the SMART will only let you know that the HDD is bad only when the HDD has bad.

There is error displaying that there is a problem with hard disk please back up your data and contact manfature. I purchased these recently in 2011 december in india. Please help me what to do.

The error usually means what it says. Back up your data to a thumb drive or something before it crashes and call HP Support for a hard drive replacement.

Problem with external Lacie disk

Hi!
I have some serious problems with my Lacie 250GB Porche disk.
The disk shows up on my desktop but it does not allow me to read and write to it. Apple's disk tool does not manage to fix the disk. I have tried running Diskwarrior, but it gives me an error saying that the disk could not be rebuilt due to a disk malfunction. I am now using Techtool Pro 4.0.4. I have not used Techtool before, only DW. Im running a process called "Recover Files Using Directory Data"...is this the one I should be using? The manual was'nt all that clear about this...Please please help me as I have 44GB of client projects on this disk.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Richard!
Thanks for your response!
I have now bought Data Rescue II from ProSoft:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php
It seems that the problem is my external harddrive and not the machine. I get read errors when I try to open projects in Photoshop / Indesign etc.
There are of course companies that can retrieve my data, but thats like my last solution cause they cost loads of money
Hoping that Data Rescue can clone my data to this new hd. The process seems to be taking days... 165.2 hours left and it has been working for two days now

The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer problem with External HDD

Hey Folks!
My 500 GB LG External Disk was working until today in the morning than I have went to University and came back this problem appears when I plug my HDD in. It is formatted in MacOS Journalled and when I plug it in it spins up and gets power, than gives me the error. I have tried with another Macbook gives me the same problem. The data in there is extermely precious for me since all of my pictures are in there. I dont care about the HDD it self but the data. Is there any way to rescue my data, I am freaking out right now. Here is the info of the hardisk from disk utility:
Disk Description : ST950032 5AS Media Total Capacity : 500.11 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)

Connect a known-good device with the same USB cable to the Mac; if it works, eliminate 4. Connect the drive with a different USB cable. Same problem? 4 is out for good.
Open external enclosure. Extract drive and try it in a different enclosure, with a different cable. If it works, eliminate 1. Same problem? Drive is damaged.
If the drive is damaged, you can try to recover data from it using various tools, such as
TestDisk/PhotoRec
<http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk>
or ddrescue or dd_rescue. These are CLI tools; they require a bit of experience to use. There are some GUI tools, such as ProSoft's Data Rescue or Seagate File Recovery (and others), but none are free. If you choose one of the latter, try the demo first, to see if they can recover anything at all.
My bet is that the drive is damaged. But maybe you're lucky and it's only the SATA cable.

Aperture 2.1.1 Vault problem with external usb disk

I have just updated to 2.1.1 and now Aperture freezes every time I connect my usb external disk and try to create or update a vault. I have to force quit Aperture and remove the disk before I can use Aperture again. The only way I can create a vault is to create it on my internal disk then manually copy to the external usb. Another topic here suggested the problem is with network disks but I have a very similar problem with a local usb disk. I have tried two different disks with the same results. All my software and os is up to date.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a similar problem, and have a not totally satisfactory fix for my issue.
I have my photos stored on an external FW drive.
Originally I also stored my vault on the same drive.
When I started Aperture with this config then Aperture would not pass the loading screen. I would have to kill the process to quit.
If I started Aperture with the FW drive disconnected then it would launch, but I would then attach eth FW drive and have to Manage referenced files.
What has worked for me:
I have removed the vault from the FW drive and Aperture now boots quickly as 2.1 did.
I have to create the vault on the internal HD and copy to the external.

Hi! Missing disk utility apps and problems with external disc

Hi everybody! after installing snow leopard, as a way to get to lion, I dont have the disk utility apps.
Besides Im having a lot of problems with an external new Toshiba 1T disc that I try to use with Time machine cause I daily receive the OSX msg CANT REPAIR THE DISK REFORMAT IT!
Thanks a lot to all of the community
I do love Apple product. And counting the days for the iOS 6 upgrade!!

Before you go to Lion, just a reminder. I know you recently moved up to Snow Leopard. Be sure that everything you were running in Leopard, and now in SL, will work for you in Lion.
Remember, Rosetta and all PPC apps are gone (Word 2004, some versions of PhotoShop etc) Check the compatibility list before you ditch SL.
As far as your Disk Utility problem, how hard is it to reinstall SL?
I've taken a screen shot of my Utilities folder to show you what you are looking for. The Utilities folder as mentioned above is in the Aplication Folder (or you may have pulled it out to the side bar as well, in which case there will be an icon and the word Utilities in Places in the side bar.

Problem with External HD and Disk Utility

Hi. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 15 inch MBP Retina. I've been using my 2TB WD My Passport Ultra hard drive since around February of this year. Earlier today when I plugged it in, the hard drive didn't show up in my devices in finder. So, i unplugged and tried again. Still nothing. Then, I went to Disk Utility and found that the drive was there but the partition wasn't mounted and is greyed out. So i tried to verify / repair the disk but have gotten a couple different messages. One being "The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system. The other being "Some information was unavailable during an internal lookup". This message has showed up more than any other. I've been able to get in and look at my files once to try to copy the files from the drive after a message popped up and said it "couldn't repair the disk" but i "could still open or copy files on the disk but can't save changes to files on the disk." But I encountered an error that was something along the lines of "Operation couldn't be completed because the item "..." is in use". But the file i was trying to copy wasn't open or in use by any program. SO, I'm in pretty desperate need of some help with this. I have some very important files on this drive that I can't afford to lose. A lot of it irreplaceable. Any help at all would be very much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I recall that the old imacs could not use a HD over 130G or so unless they are partitioned. So you may need to make three partitions first with your disk utilities. It should format it at the same time.

Problem with external harddrive and disk utility

I have just about ran out of room on my iMac G3 so I went to walmart and bought a FreeAgent 320 GB external hard drive. On the bottom it says its compatible with my iMac G3 you just have to format it using disk utility.
So I open up disk utility and I see my hard drive. I click on it and then go to erase so I can format it to work on my mac. However everything on the erase page of disk utility is greyed out and and I can't click on anything.
What do I do? Thanks.
