Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

  • Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

    I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

    To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

    Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

    Kind regards

    Valerio

    Hello

    -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

    -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

  • Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

    Hi all

    I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

    Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

    Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

    When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

    I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

    Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much!

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Hello Comatose13,

    There is an old article of KB in Windows XP that has been recently updated with additional measures to solve this kind of problem. The KB covers Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 with step by step methods. See if that helps.

  • While trying to install XP Pro on T60 he does not see the hard drive, but the fact of the laptop.

    Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

    If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

    Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

    Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.

  • HP Pavilion dv9000 - XP does not see the HARD drive, how to install it?

    Hello

    Can you please point me in right direction - what I do files and how to add them to the XP SP3 installation CD necessary?

    Thank you

    Enter the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup. If you have the option of Bios Setup to disable the native sata mode, XP will install without problem, no sata driver needed. It will be on the tab of the System Configuration.


    If you do not have the setting in the Bios, it's the driver sata for your machine:

    Hello

    1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

    If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

    Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

    However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

    Backup: what, how, where

    http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

    To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

    1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

    2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

    3. type select disk =[n]

    n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

    4. type list partition

    This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
    5. type select partition =[d]

    This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

     d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

    6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

    For more information about commands, see

    A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/300415

    Now you should be able to see the slave drive in Solution Explorer.

  • OSX does not automatically mount external drives for a user

    I'm having a problem where external drives are not mounted automatically in one of my user accounts. This is independent of the format of the drive, ability, or port. Driving, if the drive flash, hard drive or SD card, must be installed manually in disk utility. It appears dimmed under external and I select the mount option. Once I do this drive works normally.

    This only happens in one of my user accounts. Into account other external drives come up automatically and displayed in the Finder and the desktop. Users have permissions admin, no parental control is activated. The only difference I know is the user account that does not correctly use iCloud as login.

    The details of the device/osx are:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

    10.11.2 version (15 c 50)

    So far I have used first aid on my boot drive, run Apple Diagnostics (no problem found) and reset the NVRAM.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.
