External drive of CD - a power of noises, ejection of discs

• Ejecting the disc external hard Force required

  Hi-

  I thought before that I had a solution to this problem, but obviously not.

  Almost whenever I click on the icon next to my external hard drive backup disk, in the left pane of a window of Finder, place appears an alert...

  

  The eject button Force works, so I have a workaround, but it seems unfair to have to use it.

  Time Machine power down and restart my machine clears the problem for a while, but then it comes back after a few hours or a few days.

  I tried to use 'lsof' Unix command in the Terminal, but haven't learned something from him.

  Any ideas?

  FWIW, I tried to recreate your problem with a USB 3.0 external drive. Unfortunately, I had no problem ejecting the disc without turning off time Machine. It is perhaps a matter of Firewire, but I have no Firewire drive to test.

  Something you might try is to reset the SMC or the NVRAM and see if that helps.

• Problem with a Toshiba PX1267E 320 external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with a Toshiba px1267e 320 external drive, when everything was ok with it I would like to move on and the blue led would come and change blue /violet as it was found on my laptop, a small vibration could be felt if I handled the case which indicates that the d/d engine was on.

  After that fateful morning I turned on one explores in my computer and found no ext drive, checked the blue led disc on affected the case allowed to detect any vibration, eclipsed the reader of the case put my ear to hear low clicking.

  I removed the device and connected to shopping cart, this time I could feel the engine goes, connected to the laptop, new hardware found made my computer explore and didn't find any drive, Device Manager enabled and found it so I uninstalled and reconnected the usb with the same result.
  I don't know what to do next.

  I had a Word with computer store if they could recover some time I wait they told at least 6 hours work, if possible (don't want to shop)
  Bought me another model of the same digital Western not and new power to try to exchange the electronic circuit just in case he finds also the and/or possible fault we power/s but I'm clutching at straws here.

  Anyone of you guys, here you have something like this happen? any suggestions?
  I'm curious to know what they were going to try in the store to retrieve even if he said that he could not guarantee the results.
  I would appreciate any helpful suggestion (not throw it in the trash)

• WD My Passport drive external drive will not mount once my Macbook Pro is already on

  Hello

  I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.

  I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub.  If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.  But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not.  It used to, but he won't now.

  In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro.  So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well.  But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro.  Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever--until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more.

  I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.  After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.

  Any ideas please?  It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD.

  "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). It could be that the external drive is in its death throws.

  This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub?

  The Mac USB ports work with other devices?

  Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Three questions:

  (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

  (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows

  (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting.

  If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Define the plan of Partition to GUID Partition map and journaled for Mac extended format. Press the button 'clear '. The reader will now will be rid of eccentric WD partitioning and formatting schemes and be a good Mac hard drive.

  If you share the road with a Windows computer, consider getting a better workout. After having fought external drives 'brand' on my computers and others that I maintain, I now use only boxes of other computer world with naked WD drives inside. Since this change, I have zero problems. For my MacBook Pro, I use this forum:

  I ordered the external power optionally for use at home and go on the road bus-powered. It's an empty envelope - just a hard drive of nu. They are more expensive than the stuff that Staples puts on sale every weekend, but are much more reliable. I ask the question. "What is my value data?"

• Could not open any project or external drive backup files

  Hello world

  The way I got things set up, is that my final cut pro project has been saved on the external drive. Whenever I open it, it picks up from the external hard drive. Recently, I had a power outage that stopped my external drive and crashed my FCP X. When I turned things on, I kept getting an error that the FCP closes unexpectedly. I have the option to ignore or to reopen. I tried to open my backups, but I get the same error. Sometimes he was telling me to save it to the internal drive and it would actually open, but I get a lot of lack of links to files. My mac doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to be stored on the external hard drive.

  I thought that maybe it's my sharing and permissions of the drive in the menu get info, then I have everything given access, but does not work. I tried trashing the preference of the FCP, but that did not work.

  I have version 10.2.3 and on Mac OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan

  Could someone help me please? I don't know what else to do.

• TOSHIBA external drive works only with Macbook

  Hello

  I have a 1 TB external drive that I used on my 2007 Macbook without problem until recently when he decided suddenly stop working. Nothing has been changed in the Macbook, I read in some places that there is a problem with enough power of drawing from the usb port to power the player, but have you tried going through a usb port and using a longer replacement cable...

  All advice welcome!

  Thank you

  The question is: is this just a problem of USB connection or maybe the HARD drive starts to crime

  I mean, early or late each HARD drive is going to die, and it's just a matter of time and usage of HARD drive

  I recommend you to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer just to check if it will recognize

• L750 satellite fails to record the external DRIVE of 1 TB as a HARD disk drive

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help with this problem?
  Please excuse the absence of computer terminology!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L750/l755 (don't remember which) and my external hard drive recently failed to register as a reader. (Samsun Story Book 1 TB)

  For more than a year, it has worked without problem.
  Now, when I turn it on, it shows momentarily as a reader, even to the point of show files that it contained.

  If I'm fast enough, I can even open one of the folders, but then the reference of the car goes with everything, and I receive a notice indicating that 'G' refers to a drive that does not exist.

  Shows Device Manager hard drive external, and all, apparently, allegedly, works fine! I tried to assign a different drive letter, but nothing happens.

  My laptop accepts there is a reader connected, but fails to save it as a reader!

  I tried to use Knoppix to see if that could access it, but can't find where to change the bios to boot from the disk!

  I am at my wits end because I'm to halfway through writing a book and everything is stored on the outside! (Yes, I know now! "It is not safe to do!)

  Please can anyone suggest a solution?

  Thank you very much in anticipation.
  Alec.

  > I tried to use Knoppix to see if that could access it, but can't find where to change the bios to boot from the disk!
  While turn on the power, press F12 to get a menu where you can change the boot device.
  Then you should be able to boot from the CD from Knoppix (or other Live bootable drive)

  But have you tried to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer?
  In my view the issue looks like problem with HARD drive and no system or laptop issue.

• Cannot save files on an external drive because of "errors of window 82.

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion 6000 series BV601AA #ABA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Edition Home Premium 64-bit

  Error message: Unable to copy the file 'C:\Users\hp\Music\Master File\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3' to "J:\Music\Music Backups\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3.ffs_tmp".

  Windows 82 error code: the directory or file cannot be created.

  Changes before the problem has occurred: Some files may be damaged due to repeated power outages in which the system could not start correctly, or stop before losing power.

  Description: I'm trying to save a very large collection of music on an external hard drive so that if something happens to my computer, I have a back up from which to restore. I am using a free program called FreeFileSync, to start to do incremental backups of my music collection on the external drive as it grows. When I used it first, he copied about 15,000 of the 20 000 files without problem. However, for other files 5 000 or more, I was not able to due to "Windows Error 82. As by chance, I get an error from iTunes that tells me that the iTunes library file is not able to save, and I wonder if it can be related to the above problem.

  Other concerns: I tried browsing over the internet a response to this problem without much luck.  Some resources suggest using a registry cleaner, which I've tried without any effect. Other resources suggest using programs such as pc cleaner pro, and reimage.com, which I assume is intended to solve the problems of hard drive. However, almost all programs I've read on this subject might work, cost money which I'd rather not spend if there is a free solution. I am also afraid that if I paid for one of these types of programs they may not necessarily even solve my problem, and then I'm out of some species and still with my original problem. Someone at - it suggestions?

  No, in fact after looking around the answers in the other fourms, I found is that the external drive I was support until the problem in shape. I was doing backups on a disk that has been formatted in FAT32. My problem has been resolved on the reformat in NTFS.

• To access the files on Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive

  I'm on a PC running Svc Pack 3 Windows XP and had a Western Digital MYBOOK 500 GB external drive connected works very well and
  then I moved my PC set-up to another room and my problem began.

  When I turn on the system detects now the MYBOOK so I sent a message to Microsoft and received the following response:

  A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB, an Apple iPod flash drive or an external hard disk drive.
   
  YET, if I unplug the power of the MY BOOK and plug it back... it is now fastened on my system than the 'G' drive and I can open it, see the directory of the file but cannot open or access data.
   
  Also, once it is detected, I get the message balloon of text to the following address:
  Windows - delayed write failed
  Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft.
  The data has been lost. This error can be caused by a failure
  your network connection or computer hardware. Please try
  to save this file elsewhere.
   
  And when I click on a specific file I get another message
  The path for the file name G:\1Dons (2) \5Funstuff (2) \cmptrguy.ppt is not valid
  Please check that the path and the name are correct.
  "WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FILES - IT ' S ALL MY CURRENT WORK GIRLS ACTIVE
   

  Looks like you have a corruption of the data on your disk/file system.  Once you are able to mount as a drive letter, try to perform a check of the disk drive.  The procedure accelerated this:
  Double-click "My computer"-> right click on the drive-> properties-> tools (tab)-> click 'Check now'--> check that the two options-> start.

  or follow the procedure here:
  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  Please keep in mind that it can take more than two hours to perform according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption and if they're using USB1, 2 or 3.  In cases where corruption is bad, sometimes this can make matters worse so if you can back up all the files in the first place, do.

  The one and only true definition of a 'Important file"is"a file has been saved.

• Windows Vista will not read external drives

  I had an external hard drive connected to my computer earlier today. All of a sudden, my computer froze and started to make noises beeps, then I stopped and released my external drive.  Now, whenever I plug a drive it tells me that I have to reformat. However when I try to reformat the drive, he told me that the format could not be completed. It allows me to format NTFS, but that does nothing for me. I need to format in FAT or FAT32, but it won't let me. I even reformatted my drive to FAT32 from another computer, but when I plug in Vista it still says it needs to be formatted.  I got lost. How can I get Vista to re-read my external drives?

• Drive mapping: How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.

  How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.  I tried to unplug and power, reboot etc.  There is no F: drive connected to the computer.

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / "disk management and select external reader by clicking on it and then right-click on it and select change drive letter and paths."  It should show the letter currently assigned (G I guess).  Click the button change.  To the right will be a drop of drive letters box.  Go ahead and select F and click on OK.  That should do it. If F is not available, then it is used by the system for something else.  Check disk management to see if you can find it.  If it is not, and is not available in the list, I'm afraid, you will not be able to change until find you what is using drive letter F and remove it, or change it to something else.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to understand what is using F or why it is not available.

  Good luck!

• Drive external DRIVE does not appear on my PC

  I have the old HDD on my PC that I put in an envelope so that I can get my old files and data of it.  It appears nowhere on my PC (and I tried all 6 USB port) but will show and work very well on my small 80 GB Dell Latitude D630.  The PC didn't it in Explorer, Device Management, disk management, or anywhere else that I can think to look for him.

  

  The scroll wheel is my printer.  Thing is it works perfectly if connected to my small Dell Latitude D630.  However, I can't use that to transfer files, because it is only 80 GB and less than 1 GB of available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Just please don't forget when you give advice I'm 62 and computer illiterate!

  Just for that I'm sure I understand you, if you connect this drive to its external case to another computer, it is recognized and you can read/write in it.  Fix?

  The external enclosure has a power or it depends on the car on the USB port for power?

  When you connect or disconnect the drive, you can hear the Windows USB connect/disconnect sound?

  Disconnect all USB devices from your computer except a mouse and a keyboard.  Remove the CD from your CD player.

  Restart the computer.

  Connect the external hard drive.  Have you heard the sound of USB connection?  Any pop-up window appears?  If so, what was the message.

  Open Device Manager (click the start ORB, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter).

  1. Scroll through ALL the entries.  If there is NO entry showing a warning symbol, please provide the name of the device, and then double-click it and point out the text in the box under "device status".
  2. Expand the 'Readers' section by clicking on the arrow next to him.  Please list the entries in this section.
     
  3. Expand the 'USB Bus controllers' section.  Confirm that there is no element with warning icons (if the list there please say so.)  There is an entry named "USB Mass Storage Device"?
  4. Is there a category named 'unknown devices '?

  Click on the start ORB, then click "devices and printers".

  1. What items are in the top category (Smart Devices)?
  2. Are there subjects described as "unknown"?

  When you click on the link in the "Method 1" from Sondhi Ashishearlier post, you should see this:

  

  If you saw that and clicked the button 'Run now', you should have then seen this page:

  

  Assuming you've got until now, click on the link "Problems with devices and equipment" (or one of the problems with the devices and printers; I think that they do roughly the same thing).   Run the troubleshooter.
