The disc you have inserted not readable by this computer. What?

I have been using an external hard drive (usb) for a few months. As I was falling images to save the disk I got an error that the disc is not readable. I have important files out there that has not been supported until a second source, how to make my computer to recognize the drive without formatting! I can also see it on my disk utility, but it won't allow me to repair the disc until I have format. What are my options?

Try resetting the SMC and LANDAU with disconnected JEP, then re - connect and test. If you used another drive as your Time Machine backup, then the DHM has probably also been backup on it. If she has no HD doesn't have, so you can try the recovery of data such as DiskWarrior or DataRescue software and so those who fail, you may contact a data recovery service. Go on, ALWAYS make sure you have a redundant backup of all your data.

  • iMac G3 Tiger Installation "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    Hello

    I try to install Mac OS X Tiger on my iMac G3 slot loading 400mH. The system is compatible all I checked before installing. I was able to start on the first disc very well. It is installed properly, until he asked for disc 2. When I put in the disc, it turns a little, and then do absolutely nothing. It just sits there even ask for the disc. After having let it run all night, I decided that the only option was to hold the power button. When I turned the machine back on, it gave me the error "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. He then ejected the disc.

    What are my options?

    One thing I forgot to mention, is that I have created these disks under windows with a program called TransMac. It was the first program that I found which could create for Mac bootable discs. The fact that he created the first a perfectly fine leads me to believe that it is not my Windows and Mac computer. I could be completely wrong, and if so what is a better program. I am not of any other Mac other than the G3.

    Thanks in advance!

    Other specifications:

    iMac G3

    400mH

    256 GB RAM

    120 GB disk with Mac OS 9 and OS X Panther (I'm trying to update for Panther)

    Historically, the Mac have trouble starting from system disks burned. As you say, the first one worked, so you might be on the right track. Have you tried to make a new second drive from the same program? Maybe there is a media problem or an engraving error.

    The other problem could be the source of installation of Tiger. Apple has distributed never freely as each copy that you find on the internet - free or paid - are pirated and may even be compromised. It happened more than you think. There are a lot of reports of people for an OSX version here as an internet download and even pay for it, only to find that it works at all. I've seen downloads Mac OS offered for sale even on sites like eBay (I point out them).

    So this begs the following question - where did you Tiger?

    If we get that worked, we ned to continue what I have some experiences with Panther and Tiger on the iMac of the same model which can be useful

  • HP Laserjet P1102 by USB "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    My HP Laserjet P1102 used to work properly with OS X10.10. Then he started to say (now I'm on osx 10.11.4) "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer" whenever I have the lit, but the printer still work. What should I do?

    I tried with this solution HP Laserjet P1102w by USB "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer ' Ec Capitan osx's option"repair disk permissions ".

    I can't say if it will work, and it may even be harmful, possibly to the point of making your mac unbootable, so be careful - all the least have a clone of your system disk. If you start using the internet (Command-Option-R) recovery mode, and if your mac is a model that existed prior to El Capitan, it could be that the disk utility you get in this collection is the old version, including the order of repair permissions.

  • My Macbook Pro gives me a message saying: external drive is not readable by this computer. But he worked Twitter.com. What can I do?

    I tried to move my music and my pictures of my Macbook Pro 2012 to other Macbook Pro 2009, but the older one is absolutely remained stuck. So I unplugged. Now, it will not be read by Macs, and give me a message, the external drive is not readable by this computer. Both are running on the same iTunes updated and Maverick. What can I do to recover thousands of photos and CD?

    The disc in particular is either corrupted or has failed.   If you don't have a backup, you find yourself working with a data recovery service, which will not come cheap, and they don't guarantee any results - to try to shoot everything that is left behind.   Reformatting the drive - if it has corrupted and not failed - could bring the disk itself to the utility, but that won't help with any data on the disk.

  • P1102w printer is not "readable by this computer.

    Hello

    I used my laserjet P1102w printer with my macbook pro for about two years, using a USB connection.

    I've never had real problems with the printer and it was working fine with my macbook last Thursday night. I tried to print something on Sunday night but when I plug the printer by USB my computer flashes just a window that says "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." He refuses to print all documents and does not appear on the computer at all. I tried to reset all settings for printing on the laptop, but the printer does not always appear. I use Mac OS 10.9.5. I had not brought no changes to software over the weekend I would have thought this would cause.

    I am a student and really need my printer working again as soon as possible. Can someone help me with this problem? I can't think what else to do.

    Thank you, Stephen.

    Hi @SJRamsay11,.

    I see by your post when you connect the USB cable to the Mac you get the message "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. I can help you with this.

    Something on the Mac is to recognize the printer such as a hard drive. Because the printer has a feature called Smart Install, which installs only the printing automatically on Windows software.

    Try unplugging everything, make a full stop down on the printer, restart the Mac, and then connect the USB to a Mac, while the printer is still off, then start the printer.

    You have Parallels installed on the Mac?

    Temporarily disable Parallels, for the Smart Install is recognized on the Mac.

    If you do not have Parallels, then we will need to turn off Smart Install to install the printer on the Mac.

    There are two ways that we can disable it.

    Print a configuration page. Printing a Configuration Page.
    Select the method two.

    If the printer has a IPV4 address or the Direct wireless is under tension and indicating an IP address, you can access: the printer Web server integrated and disable the Smart Install from there.

    If you have a valid IP address, type the IP address in the Safari browser to bring up the printer built-in Web server and you can disable the Smart installed on the printer.

    If it does not, you will need to disable the Smart Install the printer on a Windows computer.

    On the Windows computer, go to start, computer, right click the printer CD
    and left click Open in a new window, go to Smart Install utility util/siutility.exe/HP.
    printer or PC - printer select / click on disable.

    Let me know how make you out.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • When you run defrag, get the message "You have no need to defragment this volume", it still should be done?

    Each week, I run chkdsk, disk cleanup and defrag but ' end defrag I was wondering should I defragment it even though it says "You don't need to defragment this volume" I remember that someone said to defragment your volume once a week or once a month. I'm so confused: / what should be my routine? defrag every week or once a month? Help please ~

    Contrary to what said Divya R I would run a week Disk Defragmenter although you see "you don't need to defragment this volume." The report is based on a statistical analysis and figures produced in this way on a global scale can often be misleading. You can manipulate the numbers to present the result you want to see.

    An obvious defect, is that the analysis is almost certainly done on all files. However, the files that you always have access to are only a small proportion of the whole. You want to be able to access the files that you are using the large archive of that rarely used files.

    Supplied with Windows XP Disk Defragmenter is a utility written more than 10 years that you might want to try Defraggler which is freeware and a more flexible tool. I used it successfully for 2/3 years before I migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  • No wireless networks not found on laptop - the WiFi windows service does not work on this computer

    Hello

    I have a laptop model Toshiba P205-56347 running Vista home premium and a lynksis WRT54G V8 router model.  The WLAN light is solid and the internet light flashes on the Linksys.  I have Comcast cable as my ISP.

    I've seen reported similar problems.  All of a sudden my wirless acess stopped working, some networks are displayed and I get the message 'windows wireless service does not work on the computer.  I am not able to restart the windows wireless.  I can't connect to the internet on the laptop.  I have a DELL PC and can access the internet here if necessary.

    In the network and Discovery Center, I see that network discovery is disabled.  I can't set it to on.

    Under system devices, I have the following network cards: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS6.0).

    Help, please.  I'd appreciate any help.  I need a good starting point for resolution and wouldn't start using suggestions that corrects other issues.  I design financial systems and purchase online, but I'm not a technical person with regard to updates Vista, drivers, etc..

    Thank you! After reviewing the responses to similar problems, can anyone suggest if I should try one of the following values: 1. run SCF/scannow at the command prompt I don't know what that's going to fix it and do not want to make the current problem worse. 2. download the driver for the network drivers. If you would be grateful if someone could help me find the driver and download it. 3 reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 since the restoration of Toshiba CD I would appreciate greatly any information. Donna

    Hi blondswede,

    You can try running sfc/scannow to see if you have corrupted files. That won't be a further problem on your pc. After that, you want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your laptop, especially drivers of the NIC (network card). Go to the following link to Toshiba for your model and download those:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=SB&OS=&category=&MOID=1757721&RPN=PSPB3U&modelFilter=P205-S6347&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

    If you're still having problems, and it has recently emerged as a problem, you can try to restore your system to a point in time before the problem started to use the system restore. Here are the steps to follow:

      1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
      2. In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
      3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
      4. Click Finish.

      The System Restore tool

      If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

      To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

      The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • My MacBook Pro shows "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    After taking my external hard drive WD 2 TB to my best friend for a few days and connecting via USB to its player Samsung Dvd/multimedia, I now have the message above after plugging back on my MacBook Pro. I tried so many difficulties, I found online, but nothing has worked. I even tried to type the command Terminal fix "diskutil repairDisk/dev/disk" and received the message "error repair card: MediaKit reports the wrong partition or no map found (-5324).

    I've seen suggestions of using Disk Warrior, but that seems a little hit and Miss wise success and I can't really afford. This HD were thousands of files on it and was also my Time Machine backup disk. I really want to erase and reformat, but I don't know what else to do! Can anyone help? My MacBook is a model 13 "of 2012 and the HD is a year older. Never had any problem with before this. I realize I should never be plugged on the Samsung device now.

    I eventually found a solution myself. In the case where it happens to someone else, use a program like EaseUS evaluation edition to see if your files are still there and CAN be recovered. After much research, it was clear that the question was a mapping problem caused by plugging the hard drive in the unit of Samsung Media and my MacBook could read is no longer. I ended up using Disk Warrior and it was set to 100% less than an hour. No need to format or restore data to another drive.

    Lesson learned - if you use it on your Mac, connect on something else!
