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The installation of the supplied driver allows read-write access, but it is obsolete seamingly.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.
- Uninstall the current driver and expect to release a new Seagate. In the meantime, you can have read access to the disk.
- 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/ )
- 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

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.

I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.
Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?
How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files? Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?
IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.
I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?
IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?
What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

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?

My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is
My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.
Help?
Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

TOSHIIBA external hard drive will not be displayed in "My computer" (Windows 7)
Several months ago, I bought a Toshiba external hard drive and used to back up my laptop. I have not used since then, but needed to recover a lost file today. Unfortunately, when I plug the external hard drive, it will not be displayed in my computer. When I connect, I get the sound that makes Windows when connect you something. The hard drive turns on and I can feel it running. But it does not appear in my computer. If I go into the Device Manager and look under ' hard drives it appears as "USB device external Toshiba 3.0." When it is offline, it does not appear in the list of disk drives in Device Manager.
Advice how I can get to appear in 'My Computer' so I can actually access the files? Thank you!
Hello
This problem may be caused by one of the following:
(a) your player does not have a drive letter assigned in disk management
(b) the drive may be disabled or offline
(c) your USB driver is maybe corrupted

External hard drive will not eject
As I encrypted my external hard drive, it does not stop running after I press eject. He disappears from the sidebar in the Finder, but it does not stop running. I deleted and connected it several times and the same thing happens every time. It can be dangerous to drive or is it OK to remove it even if it is still ongoing? Is there anyway to solve this problem so that he stops running when the ejection? Or is there an another way to delete if eject does not work? I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5.
One that you eject the disc and it disappears from the Finder, it's OK to disconnect/manually turn off the external drive.

Toshiba ph3100u-1exb external Hard Drive will not stay On
Hi all.
I recently bought a Toshiba ph3100u-1exb 1.0 TB external hard drive. It works fine, but the problem that I am running is that it does not stay on for more than a few minutes. I don't know that its a kind of function, but if there is a way to turn it off, energy saving, I would have the accessible reader at all times, I use the information stored on it a little.
When he died, I can always press the power button to bring it up, but I would like to have it on all the time. Is it at all possible to do? A setting on the drive, or even within Windows?
I have the player hooked up through a USB cable, this PC is a little older and does not use for hard drives-eSATA cables.
Hello
In my opinion, the HARD drive must be checked with different computers and different OS (Vista, Win 7, Win XP). If the external HARD disk doesn't work using different systems and computers then it s definitely a HARD drive problem.
I have 2 different external drives a HARD drive died and I had to replace it.
In my opinion, if a HARD drive starts to malfunction then it s mostly a hardware related issue and there is nothing to replace the defective drive -
