• Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

  Hi all

  I want to improve my HD to SSD.

  I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

  I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

  It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

  Thank you

  Adam

  No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

• SSD does not appear in the disk utility when you try to reformat the MacBook Pro

  I'm trying to reformat my Macbook Pro (mid-2012), because I had the folder with a question mark by trying to turn it on. Once I started the recovery process online and open disk utility my SSD does not, so I can't delete it or reinstall the OS. Any help would be appreciated.

  (Since 1) isn't the SSD with the disk utility program and 2), you get a folder with a question mark when you initialize I would say that your SSD is dead. Unfortunately, probably looking to a visit to your genius of Apple.

• Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

  I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

  Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

  If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

  If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

• Drive external hard Mac has shown in the past but does not now show in disk utility. How can I get it back?

  I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.

  I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.

  I hope someone can help.

  Hi willy of San Jacinto.

  I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.

  Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:

  OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work

  If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

  At this point, there is no need to delete. A new copy of Mac OS X can be installed directly over the old copy. This process replaces the components of Mac OS X on a file by file basis and adds missing ones, there will be no major throwing away what anyone, unless there is a power failure.

  You have already run disk first aid.

• Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

  Hi all

  I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

  Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

  Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

  When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

  I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

  Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much!

  Connect your Time Machine backup disk

  Open a Terminal

  Diskutil type: list

  Paste the results

  Should look like this screenshot.

  

• Disk utility OSX not letting u/c partition names

  I recently changed the HARD drive on my Macbook Pro to a crucial SSD 1 TB.  At the time I thought that the HARD drive was faulty so used the Mac online recovery to reinstall the original OSX (Mountain Lion).  When I appointed the SSD partition it only let me use the upper case for the name of the partition.   I had already improved Cougar to the Mavericks so there were a few problems with some on application data, so I decided to do a new install directly from Time Machine.  This good all looked and noticed that Time Machine renamed partition SSD the original name of the disk partition HARD and that this name was a mixture of upper case and lower case letters.

  After that, I decided it would be useful to have a second external USB backup drive, but for the second disc I tried to partition the drive into three partitions all formatted in Mac OS X extended (journaled).  More utility disk once only would allow me to only use capitals in partition names.

  Since OSX is happily using the partition with uppercase letters and lowercase names I'm puzzled what disk utility is forcing me to use uppercase letters.  The only thing I can think is that SSD and USB disk could have been previously formatted with FAT32 and it was inhibiting the disk utility.  Does anyone have ideas better?

  Here's the new disks that are not configured for Macs. Follow these steps:

  Drive partition and format

  1. open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.

  2. after disk utility charges select the new SSD entry (this is the entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.

  3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete.

  Repeat for the USB drive.

• Disk utility says Everything is Fine, when it's not

  I am trying to understand what the point of disk utility. I checked (several times) my boot drive (SSD) and a second internal HARD disk, disk utility says it all goes well and nothing in need of repair. Meanwhile, I can say drives are certainly * not * ok since I get poor system performance, and the HARD disk is sprayed randomly when I access/copy some files.

  I went and got the SMART utility and Disk Warrior, SMART utility written my boot drive is FAILING and my HARD drive has FAILED.

  I am now under DW on it, but I'm pretty annoyed that utility disk is essentially useless to see if there are problems with the discs...

  Disk utility and disk warrior can only repair the files in the directory, they are unable to repair a disk that is physically / mechanically failing.

• Internal HD not mounted and not disk utility

  Hi Mac community.

  I have an early 2008 Mac Pro with 4 internal drive bays.  For now, they are all busy with special various backup and storage drives.  One of my backup / storage drives (not my boot drive) does not appear as "mounted" on the desktop.  It does not also appear in the disk utility.  System information shows 'Unknown' for 3 Bay where the reader resides.  The missing disk is used to save another internal drive that stores the image files almost exclusively and is not a boot disk.  The missing disk is about 3-4 years of age and is called only in service for a few minutes a day when Super Duper asks it to do his homework, who will quickly backup.  In addition, Super Duper is not able to find the drive to back up either.

  I think one way to obtain the missing disk health trouble would close, exchanging one of the other disks in its place, restart and see if the drive and the system information utility recognize another drive in the Bay (#3) in question.  This way I know if I have a dead drive or if there is some other hardware problem associated with this Bay.

  This sounds like a good approach?  Are there other means within the system to check the status of the missing disk, (not start)?

  Thank you!  Mike

  Yes, it's an excellent course of action.

• Samsung EVO850 plus disk Util is not smart

  HI -.

  I have a MacBook Pro 15 "late 2011, for which I bought a 1 to Samsung EVO 850 SSD."  I want to replace the internal MacHD with the SSD.

  I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.  Using disk utility I erased the SSD and reformatted using OSX journaled Extended.  The process took seconds to complete.  However when I check the S.M.A.R.T. status on the SSD TO THE shows 'not supported '.  Also (probably part of the same problem) - if I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block.

  -What is the problem?  I don't know that this EVO 850 is compatible with this MBP.  Disk utility is quite simple.  But the result is not SMART.  Did I miss a step?  How can I reformat this SSD to support the Smart function.

  TIA your entry,

  Josh

  -What is the problem?

  The only thing wrong with what you mentioned is your understanding of it. everything works as expected.

  I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.

  in general, docking stations, in individuals and external drives do not support SMART status.

  Smart seemed like a good idea when it was invented, but it fell away, far from being useful. It indicates usually that your reader has a hard time AFTER that the car exploded. Or he reports that your drive is about to die, three years before his actual death.

  If I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD, I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block".

  You cannot copy the Volume Mac OS X is running to use the copy of disk utility that is on the Source Volume. Disk utility insists the drive mounted, so that no one else has the ability to change the contents of the disc while you are copying. You can't unmount the disk because Mac OS X is started from, so you cannot copy the path you want.

  If you want to make this copy, start under Recovery HD (which is another partition on your boot drive) and use the disk utility it. Then you can copy the Mac OS X Volume (but not the Volume of recovery HD, because it will be busy.

• External drive is not accessible by Time Machine or disk utility

  I have a USB drive connected on my MAC (OS X El Capitan) the drive has 3 partitions, one is used for bacp of documents (200 GB), empty (300 GB) and for the backup copies made with Time Machine (300 GB). Since yesterday, Time machine does recognize more the drive for the installation of the most recent reserve backup copy, The Time Machine, the disk partition is also not found by Finder and when the drive is connected via USB to the MAC, disk utility does not but rest in mode search, without giving any information.

  Reconnect the drive (and any other external devices)

  If the disc is not visible in disk utility, you can try to connect to another computer and check it or reformat if all else fails.

  a disc formatted in anything other than extended journaled Mac will not be usable with Time Machine. If you need to reformat the drive in NTFS or FAT or ExFat, format Windows PC then reconnect to the mac, once the drive is recognized, reformat with extended Mac.

  It is also possible that the drive is dead. If it is still under warranty it can be replaced, but manufacturers don't offer a premium-free data recovery. see the manufacturer's Web site. you will need the serial number of the drive.
