MacBook HD not mounted
Hello, I'm some desperately need the help.
I have a Macbook Pro 15.4 (2013) inches. It has 4 GB memory and 500 GB of storage. I'm under El Capitan.
I was cleaning my computer today, remove applications and files, and I downloaded OnyX which is supposed to help me clean up the stuff I can't seem to easily. However, when I started it, it says that my drive should be repaired, so I pressed command-R while I reset the Mac. Utility of disc came and I went to fix my drive hard when I noticed that I could not click the button indicating first aid. I noticed that my hard drive has been disassembled, so I looked at a lot of things to try, but nothing has worked. I tried the PRAM reset SMC reset and a regular reset. I found something online about partitioning but my knowledge of computers is lacking and I don't really know how to go on this issue. Is there a better clearer method to do up my hard drive? Help, please!
Thanks in advance!
Are you unable to restart your Mac normally? Describe what is happening when you try that.

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:
For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility
See you soon!

Target Disk Mode - MacBook is not mounted in the desktop iMac
I have a MacBook to 2015 and a cable USB-A-USB-C marked 'SS '. In November 2015, I might start my MacBook in TDM and plug it into my iMac 2013 and see him mount on the desktop. I could then synchronize some of the files (using synchronize folders) and have up-to-date on my MacBook. Both computers running El Capitan.
But about 3 months ago this system has stopped working. Editing of my MacBook on the desktop iMac became sporadic and now never happens. I have tried different cables, connected to different USB ports (the back of the iMac, iMac keyboard and a Flash to USB dock (Belkin)), but no joy.
Has updated the firmware of computers? El Capitan has stopped this feature very useful to work?
Any ideas, anyone?
Chris
As a work-around, there are other ways of synchronization of files between devices.
iCloud Drive, Box, OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive. These will make everything you do.

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:
https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/MEPMU3ES/
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?"

A few months ago, I tried to install Linux as a dual boot and had to wipe my drive but have not had any problems in the meantime. I currently have a Boot Camp Windows 10 partition, but it was installed some time ago. This could be my problem or is this something tied to the side Mac?
Thanks for any help you have to offer!
Remove the Wacom software, it is a known problem in 10.11.5
Also check all Wacom is removed from Log-in Items(use the) Sys Preferences > users and groups > login items
If Wacom tablet etc. is vital for your workflow — after remove you and test your machine - try to download the most updated the driver from Wacom.

WD MyBook will not mount on Mac
I have two WD MesLivres, attached to a Mid-2015 15 "MacBook Pro (MBP) running El Capitan 10.11.5." Both drives are formatted with OS X Extended (journaled). We had a power failure last night. This morning, I restarted the MBP and the 2nd MyBook would not rise. I rebooted and stirred around, nothing helps. The player turns on and seems to turn but does not show in disk utility or command terminal disk utility. I have dl had HFSExplorer and installed on a Windows 7 laptop. This utility allows to read but not write on a windows pc, a Mac formatted disk. I joined the MyBook2 laptop Windows 7, launched HFSExplorer and, Lo and behold, he can read the disc in mac format. So, what can I do to get the MacBook Pro to mount this drive? I am at a loss!
The fixed! Nothing very elegant. I shut down the MacBook Pro (MBP), swapped the USB 3 cable the recognized MyBook (Mo1) with the unrecognized MyBook (MB2), restarted the MBP and the MB2 is recognized. I swapped the cables for their original and all drives work. Why? I have no idea!

sparsebundle disk image not mounting
I've recently upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and now I can not mount an image of disk sparsebundle.
I enter the password, and then nothing happens.
I tried the same image on a Mac running Leopard and it opens fine.
I tried a few other sparsebundle some and other encrypted disk images not. Some are open very well, but others do not.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem of sparsebundle encrypted disk image.
Any suggestions?
After investigation a little more the problem is Sophos AV
Turn it off and the disk mount fine images.
I hope this helps.

EFI disk0s1 not mounted. screen shows gray with help file when I restart
I had these problems with my recent Mac.
1. it freezes for a few seconds. Then begins to work properly. And then freezes. The beachball keeps spinning and I can't access any of the applications.
I tried restarting. But came up with another question. The gray screen of the charges and file aid continues to Flash.
I tried from the recovery mode, but I get the Internet (OS X Lion). I'm under El Capitan. In disk utility, I check and repair the drive. Stop and try again. Now, there are two current icons and off - no logo entry sign and apple. If I'm lucky then after 40-50 seconds, Mac starts up.
Now, I tried to make the EtreCheck, and he gave me more results for disc

What can I do to fix these problems?
Disk0 unit 1 is not the problem. This is the EFI partition, which is never mounted, because it is used only by the bootstrapper, long before that the file system is initialized.
Your problem is 70 errors in disk0 tranche 2, the volume Macintosh HD. This hard drive (the entire disc) was his. Dead. in ruins. You need a new drive.

External CD drive will not mount on OSX
An external CD/DVD drive will not mount on my iMac running the latest OSX update. I'm on my second CD drive (sorry Amazon). When I insert an audio CD, it is recognized. I am able to rip the CD fine, but then the Player responds neither to open unless I unplug the USB to which I am able to open it and change the CD I tried to use external power to the player. That
s not the question. Disk Util sees only after fresh USB connection. Profile of sys can see at any time. Back to zero does not correct the problem is it better that disconnect and reconnect. All OS updates have been applied. No other devices or software problems. Y at - it a tip. This should be simple and Yes, CD player works on a Windows machine, but I have not yet tried on another machine from Apple.
Post edited by: HOUSE is compatible OSX and the issue is not resolved.
Is the devices designed to work with OS X?

MacBook is not recognized by parachuting on iPad
Well well, boring as usual, he does not work for some reason any.
MacBook Pro 15 retina "(mid-2012)
iPad Mini (2013)
Try to send a few photos from my iPad to my MacBook, the MacBook is not recognized by the iPad. The other way around is not a problem, I can see my iPad stated on the record of AirDrop on the MacBook and the transfer also works well in this direction.
I tried several solutions, obv. Turning the air drop / disable / Bluetooth / Wifi, reset the settings on the iPad, iPad and MacBook reboot of the network, and so on, nothing works.
The point is, maybe a month ago, everything worked perfectly in both directions, MacBook release the iPad and iPad to MacBook, just as I didn't expect. What I suspect, that is, after updating both devices with the latest operating system software, it probably stopped working as well.
I can do to fix that? I just want to send you some pictures of the iPad for the MacBook using airdrop.

I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:
"There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"
Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:
- If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)
It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.
Can someone let me know what I need to do.
Thank you
Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled). (it is HFS +)
For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.
Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

Another reason to hate the Photo App. I want to put titles on my photos in an album to explain what are the images. I can do this on my MacBook, but not on my iPad Air. I tried to copy the album (by airdrop) to my iPad, but the titles disappear. Any suggestions?
Since the Photos of OSX application, select an image (once it's in an album, not in Moments) and you can add a comment that is visible in the Photos of iOS.

Without a model number, we cannot exclude that particular mouse is incompatible with OSX, especially if it is old.
