• external hard drive mounts as the camera when you import videos in FCPX

  When I try to import media into FCPX, my external HD rises like a camera and never displays anything (tricks and spins forever).

  I have other external HD pairs and they mount as expected when you import. I can get to the external HD in question, it is just when I go to import items I hit a snag. I make changes to the properties of my library and changed back. Still have a problem. See screenshot of the Properties window and the import library. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I was not able to sort out what I did. Thanks in advance,

  P.S. I'm under OX 10.10.5 on a MacPro early 2009

  IN the Finder, locate a folder with the name private. If you see a move, it is not at the root or rename it.

• Cannot connect remotely to an external hard drive on iMac

  I have trouble connecting to remote a Macbook (10.10.5) of an external HARD drive mounted which is connected to an iMac (Mac OS X 10.10.5.) The iMac is connected to the internet via an airport express base station 7.6.4.

  I created an account of sharing only to connect to this drive and I've had no success connecting to it outside the local network of this external hard drive.

  Because the Terminal airport express base station is involved, y at - it sort of port forwarding for connect to this hard drive mounting?

  I've only tried to plug the hard disk via finder > go > connect to server > name.local/locationOfExternalHarddrive of the computer and have had no success so I think the explicit base station is the question?

  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  This is assuming you have CCMM configuration and working properly... without it, Wan, there is no way that the computer can find computername.local

  You need the public IP address of the router... and there may be only a single router. Normally, it is not possible to use IP because it is dynamic, with a home ISP accounts then you must configure the global DNS name or a dynamic DNS account.

  Please read Tesserax doco on remote... the best method is Apple CCMM.

  Airport drive - remote (3 methods)

  A simpler method in my humble OPINION is teamviewer... same as Apple CCMM without as many restrictions.

  Any method of remote access requires a careful configuration of the home network. And the Mac must be able to wake on lan... (apple have their own fancy name for it).

• External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

  Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

  I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

  Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

  NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

  Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

• Problem of macOS / external hard drive

  My external hard drive (Seagate Portable) went wonky after update of my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra.

  I did some research and I've followed all the advice - nothing helped.

  ・It is not in the Finder.

  ・It is listed in "Disk utility", but I can't do anything with him - like mounting the drive.

  ・ "Disk utility", says that the Seagate drive is completely full - but I know for sure that's not true - it was about a quarter full and has only a few months.

  ・i reset the PRAM & SMC on Mac

  Try to update the Paragon NTFS driver. You can find the updated version on the Seagate support site at:

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

• Why my external hard drive cannot be mounted or viewd by a Macbook

  Hello

  I can't see my HD exertenal from the finder.

  I do not have G-Tech HD and I use with TimeMachine. This HD has two partitions.

  The first is used for the backup with Time Machine, a macbook air, and the second partition is used to back up a macbook pro with Time Machine.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook). Now, it is not possible to mount the external hard drive. From the Finder, I see no partition eighter the first or the second.

  I plugged it in an another mAcbook air and no way to see inside the external hard drive.

  Howerver, I pluggged in a 14.04 ubuntu and I was able to navigate through the external hard drive

  Why can I see the contents of the external HD with a ubuntu n not with a Macbook?

  And how can I solve this problem?

  See you soon

  El Capitan has permissions configuration much tighter than earlier versions of Mac OS X and it can become a problem to open files from a different computer. You need to tell us what OS you are running on all computers.

  I suspect that Ubuntu is having no problem because it does not under the same restraint of permissions.

  It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook).

  What you have done here, caused the change of permissions.

  Don't forget that connect a player directly on a computer and use it plugged into an airport will have different permissions issues.

  I don't have much in the way of a solution. Apple has changed repair them permissions on El Capitan.

  You have a Mac running an earlier version of Mac OS X?

  If your two partitions are used just to make the Time Machine backups...

• Seagate external hard drive will not mount

  I can't get a TB Seagate Backup Plus 2 player to mount on my Macbook Pro 2011. When I plug it into the USB port, disk utility detects it. I ran check disk and it said the necessary repair disk. Then I ran the repair disk and it said it was successful. However, the player still don't let it go. The disc appears on the other Mac, but not my Macbook Pro. It is not the problem of the USB port either because I was able to mount other external hard drives in order to use it. The reader has already worked on my Mac until I updated my OS from Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  Something could be wrong with my Mac that prevents the installation disc, or is it more likely to be a problem with the drive?

  I guess it is related to software driver for Seagate to support the NTFS on mac.

  OS X support NTFS natively, but read-only.

  The installation of the supplied driver allows read-write access, but it is obsolete seamingly.

  I just got the last of Seagate site, but it is still pretty new. The Info said taking in charge until Mavericks only.

  If this is the case, you can take a from below.

  1. Uninstall the current driver and expect to release a new Seagate. In the meantime, you can have read access to the disk.
  2. Uninstall the current driver and get the latest version of the driver by the developer instead of Seagate. The last time the developer (Paragon) even on El Capitan and without limitation to Seagate drive. (Paragon is not free but has the trial period - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ )
  3. Uninstall the current driver, then take the alternative. The son will be your help for this. - Need to write to the drive (ntfs) outside Yosemite

• How can I mount a partition to external hard drive

• external hard drive not mounting

  Here it is the end of the year and one of my external hard drives (1 TB Iomega MacMini) decided to not mount on the desktop of my MBP 15 "

  (in early 2011).

  I read a few posts on ways to remedy by making the Kext Utility application, reset the SMC, disk repair/first aid utility, using different cables/ports.

  test another external hard drive (which is mounted using FireWire 800) etc...

  When I look at the MBP in the system report found in 'about this Mac' sees the external hard drive, that I'm putting and yet this car is not editing.

  The Iomega hard drive light flashes and there is power and the whirring of the drive, so that it seems the unit working on it of own but is no longer connection

  on my desk.

  I have Time Machine on two external hard drives, but has a reader is slightly larger than the other, the information stored on both devices is slightly different.

  So, if I can get access to the data from the Iomega hard drive and save it, then I'll be a happy camper and will update to another external drive.

  For now, I hope some of you can provide advice to solve this problem.

  I booked time at the Genius Bar, but nothing is open until next week.

  Looking forward to responses and wish all a happy new year.

  If so, try it on another Mac.  Don't rule out the possibility that the HARD disk is dead.

  Ciao.

• External hard drive issues with Vista

  Hi - I have a WD MyBook external hard drive with all my music and pictures on it. Today, when I hung it, my computer didn't recognize it. I have had this problem before and finally fixed by trying all my USB drives until one worked.

  This time, I kept getting a message that the driver (or player?) had malfunctioned. I've tried the drive on another computer and it worked fine.
  I went back to mine, it will appear in my computer, open, all records, finally got, but each folder was empty! Back to the other computer - everything was there and very well. Back to the mine - recognized her immediately but said there are mistakes that had to be fixed, ran the scan suggested, open upward, all records, everything here too. Yay!
  Go to open iTunes, can't find my library. Back to My Computer, suddenly, everything in the drive disappeared again! Even the main issues.
  Help! I am a total novice with the computer hardware. I tried Googling this but none of the ideas worked. Thank you in advance for your help!

  Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

  By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

  Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

  But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

  Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

  Hope this makes things clearer.
