External hard drive Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex ultra-portable 500 GB Silver

My Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex ultra-portable 500 GB drive hard primer not on my computer toshiba laptop.  I used the hard drive first to save things to my iMac and it worked fine.  When I connected it to my laptop (windows 7), it seems to work (the light is on), but it seems not be formatted to the computer and does not appear in Explorer?  It should start automatically on any PC.  Can anyone help?

Mac and PC does not use the same "formats" for their drives.  You must locate the special "pilot" the Seagate 'provide' so one to allow a Mac format GoFlex drive is accessible on Windows.

  • How to partition an external hard drive Seagate

    My old external HD Time Machine does not so I bought a 2 TB Seagate Backup more Portable Drive to replace it. It has been formatted for Windows but provided a configuration "NTFS_ Mac download for_ I ran. I'd like to partition the drive & use 1 TB for Time Machine.

    When I go into disk utility, I cannot and select the Seagate HD, the choice of the Partition is grey and not selectable.

    Any suggestion how to get this HD formatted correctly so that it is recognized in disk utility?

    I guess that the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, so disk utility does not have to perform all the tasks in this topic. It you can't format it on some Windows system with the FAT file system? Once the FAT is made, the Mac of THE it reformats with HFS. However if you want to do with the above partition size (1 TB HFS and 1 TB NTFS or FAT) then can try you with a disk management utility.

  • External hard drive Seagate

    Since the upgrade to Sierra, my Macbook will not recognize when my external 4 TB of Seagate hard drive is connected (no problems before the upgrade).  Another problem is that when I click on the Finder icon in the tray, opens a finder window, then whole screen turns black momentarily, then returns to the top with all the icons, but the finder window is now gone.

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

  • What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate

    We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.

    Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.

    Fred, SR.

    Win7 64 bit, Office 2010

    Hello

    I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:

    Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator

    High CMD should now be open, type the following:

    CHKDSK x: /r

    x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.

    Kind regards

  • Lightroom CC backup on external hard drive Seagate

    My Seagate hard drive is perfectly functional, make backups of several programs, including CClone, Joelle, and Time Machine.

    Yet when I recently tried to backup a catalog from Lightroom CC, I get the following error message.


    "Lightroom is unable to create a folder for your exports in the location you have chosen. Please select a different location. »


    Lightroom has no problem backup up to my 2 TB Lacie external hard drives.


    I use a Mac Pro with the latest version of the OS


    Can you guide me through this?

    This is the location you have chosen, IE the folder on the drive. Create a new folder on this drive called Lightroom backups and LR point in this folder to make its backups to. In Finder Right click on the new folder that you created and make sure that your username has both read + write permission.

    Also, it's a bad idea to have a single drive for Time Machine and store other files on this disc. Time Machine should have it own dedicated player to do back ups for that is not used for anything else.

  • External hard drive (Seagate) not readable after the ejection using Thunderbolt cable

    Not sure where this question fits as this seems to be a Thunderbolt cable problem but here goes...

    I have 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus external drives for archiving with two drives - backup A and B backup - and two interfaces, a basis of love at first sight and a standard basis of USB3.

    Using the basis of love at first sight that I backed up to 1.5 TB of data on a Mac logged to A disk and ejected from backup format. When I reassembled A backup to verify the data Finder says the drive is not a recognizable car and I had to reformat. I thought that I must have crashed head or something like the disc was still running when I pulled it off the base of love at first sight. When I got tired to reformat the drive in disk utility only 500 GB of the 4TB were available for formatting, so I thought that I've certainly got to have damaged it.

    Then I saved my 1.5 TB of data to a second drive Seagate Backup Plus (backup B) but when I eject this drive (this time I waited to stop and pulled the power over the base before you remove the disk) and then lift the drive that the same error came in the Finder. Suspecting it was the Thunderbolt interface I swapped backup to the base of the USB3 B and all the data is there! I checked A backup and even if she had to be reformatted this time all the 4 TB of capacity was available.

    I also have a Rugged Lacie 2 TB drive with a Firewire interface and it seems to work just fine so maybe the Thunderbolt Apple cable or Seagate sight base. I don't have a second Thunderbolt cable to test with at the moment.

    As a secondary issue readers are not run down after eject either. The heads are parked, but readers continue so I have to pull the power and wait that it happen down before I can remove basic USB3 disks or love at first sight. This problem, even if it's embarrassing, I can live with. In the foreseeable future I'll use the basis of the USB3.

    Everyone knows about this problem before? It sounds really weird.

    I can only give you my opinion of WD boxes and I'm afraid that's not good. My experience with WD boxes have always been bad. My suggestion is to try another TB cable and see if that's it, if not then try to connect another device to your iMac Thunderbolt and test to see if it is the iMac, which I doubt it is. If this isn't the cable or the iMac, then you know that it's the condom. If the disks are recoverable from the speaker, remove them and get a TB of high-quality speaker. My vote goes to OWC (www.macworld.com) pregnant Thunderbolt.

    Help!  My FCPX (v - 10.2.3) does not work because my iMac drive is full (iMac 21.5 inch has 2 terabyte w / v OS El Capitan 10.11.6) I had tried to free up space by moving tons of files on a usb disk Seagate (2 terabyte) speedboat that barely made a dent. then on the advice of a friend I found (in movies) a file called Final Cut backups. There were 4 files with extension, ".fcpbundle" I have three of them moved to another drive to Seagate usb - they had 2.82 GB, 21.6 GB and GB 68,21 that I thought should be enough and them removed from my iMac drive - bad! It says I have only 13.46 GB free on my 2 terabyte iMac total!

    The fourth fcpbundle it's TB 1.72! But before leaving that I returned and opened FCPX and found the warning triangle around my library... While my last project looked OK I couldn't / the share of exports because the pop-up says FCPX has no data for efx etc (the media looked at and display fine) and cannot be taken out.

    FCPX can work with the "beams" moved to another drive? How the detectable in a new place? Or how to put them back?
    How can I make sure that future packages clutter my iMac again?

    Do I need a RAID disks? If yes which?

    I found other folders in folders 'Make files' and records backup for projects with the .fcpbundle inside files

    How can I get this sucker working again?... and what should I do to keep him from doing the same thing in the future?

    :.. then on the advice of a friend I found a file called Final Cut backups (in movies). There were 4 files with extension, ".fcpbundle" I have three of them moved to another drive to Seagate usb - they had 2.82 GB, 21.6 GB and GB 68,21:

    The backup files are only the database files (no media) and must be low, not gigabytes, do not know what is happening there.

    Media libraries stored in the bundle of FCP X library or stored outside?

    If stored at the breast, called managed media, simply copy and paste the library to a different location.

    Make sure that library books newly located correctly before you remove what either.

    Perhaps check your settings of the library.

    Click the library icon in the browser and it appears in the Inspector:

    By clicking on change settings shows this:

    Move the mouse over the media and it will reveal the path where things are sent.

    Then you might be able to track down what goes where.

  • Seagate 2 TB external hard drive does not register

    I almost always took care to disconnect the drive safely, and continued to work well when he is accidentally unplugged (only happened 3 - 4 times). Today he did not appear in the office or in the finder, the responses in this thread, external HARD drive Seagate will appear not in place were a little helpful but did not fix my problem. Here are some of the facts of the case, somehow:

    • I use a 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with a 1 TB hard drive (this was added later when the original drive has failed)
    • External hard disk was used to transfer large files a bit to a laptop running Windows 8 and was not ejected safely from this computer
    • The reader is displayed correctly on other MacBooks (tested today) and all files are in order.
    • The drive appears in the report of the system but does not appear in the disk utility.
    • The drive does not appear in the Seagate dashboard that was installed when the car was purchased.
    • The drive has two partitions: one for Time Machine and the other to the format to work on Mac and Windows to store normal files.
    • My MacBook has been impossible to open a .dmg file today, unconnected with. I do not have this issue.

    I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

  • new computer with win 7 pro when it is connected to a Flash drive or external hard drive poster, you have currently not authorized to access this folder or location is not available

    There are now 4 computers in front of me.

    Two are laptops 17 inch hp (consumer)

    Two are workstations mobile hp 17 inch (company)

    On the consumer books, I can view the files on my external hard drive 1 to and 1 GB player.

    On the company workstation (mobile), I'm not able to view the files on the hard drive or flash drive.

    I need your help so that I can save files from the internal hard drive of the mobile platform of book z hard disk external.  And I need to be able to reconnect the external drives and readers to the Zbook mobile workstation to transfer files to transfer flash.

    These are the pop ups that appear for each when displaying of readers by opening my computer:

    When left click hard disk drive a pop up appears with the title bar: location is not available.

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    Make a right click on the hard drive allows FreeAgent GoFlex drive opening (h :)) properties)

    The tabs are ReadyBoost, previous Versions, Quota, customize, general, tools, hardware, sharing, security

    By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

    I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

    I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

    Then I went to the flash drive.

    Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

    You don't have permission to access this folder.

    Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

    After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

    You have been denied permission to access this folder.

    To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

    When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (g) properties

    The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

    He did not indicate what to do next.

    Summary:

    Two new computers hp zbook stations mobile work with win 7 pro

    Or computers with their multiple ports usb allows to access my external hard drive or flash drive.

    The external hard disk and flash dirve each work very well with the consumer portable computers hp with winning 8 and 8.1 of win and have worked with computers with win xp.

    How can I get the Replicator hp z book with win 7 pro for usb drives work with external hard drives or external flash drives?

    I have so far done the following:

    (1) run administrative guest with sfc/scannow and it found no violations of integrity

    (2) ran microsoft fixit will be all available Parameters which automatically checked and corrected each book workstation z mobile http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    (3) contacted HP support

    (4) checked for malware using microsoft security essentials, malwarebytes and spybot on each mobile workstation

    (5) updated drivers using HP support assistant on each computer

    (6) windows update the device HP support assistant on each computer

    How do two new computers with win 7 pro can be connected to external drives that allow to view the files as they do with win xp and win 8 automatically?

    How can I access my files on the external hard disk and flash the mobile workstation book z?

    The specifications for the mobile workstation of zbook are:

    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Microprocessor: Intel core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.7 GHz

    Moemory system: 16 GB of memory on 2 1600 MHz dimm

    Graphics device 1: Nvidia Quadro K3100M

    Graphics device 2: Intel HD 4600 graphics card

    Hard drive 1: SCSI Disk Device

    C: 683.42 (613,62 free go-go)

    D: 12.21 GB (1,3 GB free)

    E: 1.99 GB (1.97 GB free)

    The hard drive is a seagate 1 TB drive that works very well

    The flash drive is a 1 GB drive which works very well

    This problem has been resolved.

    Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

    Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

    This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

    The problem has been resolved by:

    (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

    (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

    When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

    The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

    This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

    Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

    When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

    I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.
