Problem of backup drive Seagate

• Encryption of backup drive Seagate Plus

  Hello

  I made my first backup of my MacBook Pro yesterday on a backup drive Seagate Plus. I selected the "encrypt" option before doing so. The backup seems complete without incident, but now, when I right click to eject the hard disk, "Encryption 'Seagate Plus backup drive'" is grayed and I get the error message "the disc 'Plus backup drive Seagate' has not been ejected because one or more programs can use it." I did a powerpoint for class yesterday when running the backup, but no other programs were open and closed powerpoint, so as soon as I had enough. Someone has any ideas why this happens?

  Thank you!

  Hi Bonniehl:

  I assume you are using Time Machine. Is this correct?

  Do you have a message saying that the Time Machine backup?

  When you use encryption, it really takes a lot of time.

  I wouldn't recommend encryption, unless you have national secrets to protect.

  See the following thread. Why the encryption of backup Time Machine takes so long?

• I want to use Time Machine to backup all emails in gmail to a drive.drive Seagate and Lacie.

  I have a Mac Mini with OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I want to use some software (Time Machine?) to back up my gmail

  emails dating back to 2006 on a backup drive Seagate.  I installed the time Machine, and he backs up everything but

  gmail emails.  Can someone give me help.

  Time Machine is to back up files on a local disk. If your gmail emails are in local hard disk, they are ongoing. But if they are on a Gmail server, this isn't a function of time Machine.

• I/o error - cannot backup to Seagate «of TB external HARD drive»

  Former title: cannot backup to Seagate «of TB external HARD drive»

  I thought I could use native W7 backup to create a system image on a HDD Seagate 2 TB or less. I get an IO error. I know of 3 to 4K sector disks.

  What is the solution?
  Malcolm Bolton

  Hi Malcolm,

  If you use a drive logical sector of a size other than 512 bytes, Windows system image backup and restore operations can fail with 0x8078002A error code

  I suggest you to go through this article for more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/982018/en-us

  Before you continue, I suggest you to create a system restore point.

  Install the following update and check:

• 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

• NETGEAR N300 Wi - Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) sees the backup HD Seagate but don't transfer

  V1.01.11 firmware, OS is Windows 10

  I bought the cable Modem Wifi Netgear N300. Except for the external hard drive Seagate (backup Seagate more 5 TB desktop external hard drive with 200 GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device backup USB 3.0 (STDT5000100)), all my devices connect to it without problem. However:

  1.) when I have the hood upwards the Seagate external hard drive, the genius of Netgear he sees, but says that the drive has 0 bytes available.

  (2.) that's why I can't back up by using the backup program WIndows 10 but

  (3.) I can "manually" drag files from my PC to the Seagate HD (the PC is connected to the modem router cable via wifi.)

  4.) when I connect the Seagate HD with a USB cable to the computer, the backup works.

  It's frustrating because I want to use the Seagate HD as a backup for some of my devices and I want the devices to send their data or the Netgear router.

  Can someone help me? It seems important that Netgear genius sees the HD Seagate but think it has no place.

  Richard

  I answer my own question (!) but is the answer that the HD 5 t is not compatible with the cable modem Netgear router? See:

• 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.

• Backup drive is not detected by USB-3 ports before the computer

  * Original title: 3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

  3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

  After working for about 1 year, my Seagate 3 TB backup drive is no longer recognized by the operating system.

  The drive is connected to a USB port "SS" (i.e. USB3) port on the front of the computer.

  During the boot UEFI confirms the existence of the impulse, but Win 7 (64) does not work.

  When it is attached to a USB-2 port the drive works perfectly, but takes forever to my backup system.

  I went through the procedure to connect to other ports 'SS', but the OS will still not

  recognize the drive.

  I would appreciate any advice.

• sleep of the iMac, don't eject backup drive does not correctly

  I get a message that my backup drive is not ejected properly, what concerns me greatly. I get this message when my iMac wakes up after sleeping, and the player has not been removed or disconnected or anything. It's an old USB 2.0 Seagate GoFlex drive.  Is there little sleep setting, such as turning off hard drives, the cause? Or is it just time to move my old faithful to a 3.0 version backup disk?

  Hello

  I recently bought a hard drive Seagate Wireless Plus. When I connect the hard drive to my computer, it recognizes it's ok and I downloaded movies, music, etc. on him. However when I connect said HDD on my TV and select the media browser, it comes up with the message "no removable disk is connected.

  There are known limitations when connecting TVs USB hard drives:
  -HDD format is one of them: FAT/FAT32 should work, NFTS (depending on model) probably not
  -in the manual for this model, only the USB keys are hard disks mentioned, none (which require an external power supply).
  USB drives are USB - bus-powered and therefore does not usually cause trouble, while external power supply used by hard drives can lead to problems, this device is not recognized.

  In short: there is not that you can do, in addition to changing the USB device. You can try with the FAT32 format first, but with some probability that also won't work, except for the fact that FAT32 is supported only up to a certain size of drive.

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• How can I be sure that all the pictures selected for export (all 1600) have been exported to my backup drive (before I remove them on the Mac)

  I want to be sure that all of my 1600 + photos and movies were actually exported to the Seagate backup drive that I installed on my MacbookAir. How can I know it?

  If they have been exported to a single file on the EHD?  And if you have exported them should have exported them as "Original unmodified" in order to get the original video files and not a jpeg thumbnail.

  The best solution, if the Seagate HD is formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) is to save the photo library so that you keep both both original and edited, all projects and metadata (keywords, titles, faces, places, etc.).

  

• New SSD installed, why not start recognizes the TM backup drive?

  2008 15 "Macbook running OS 10.9.5. Time Machine backups are in agreement, on an Iomega eGo 1 TB external.

  I installed a new SSD (Crucial), but during the restart on the backup drive I get the question mark flashing. Reinstalled the old drive hard and everything is back to the old normal. Any suggestions? Could it have to do with the version of the USB cable? But why no problem with externally in combo with the old drive? Should I put another Time Machine backup on an external new or different, and then try again to install the new drive? I should try a different usb cable that is provided?

  Thanks in advance.

  You insert disks that came with your MacBook and then hold the alt/option key during startup, and then click the drive or the CD

• Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

  My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

  For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.
