Hello! Recently, the external harddrive I use as general data collector started developing a very interesting problem. At first, it would start ejecting itself for no good reason, and now, it cannot be ejected anymore once plugged in. I have tried disc utility without much success as even...

Hi There, I've been recently experiencing problems with connecting more than one firewire drives directly to the existing computer ports. I use MacPro tower, leopard 10.5.5 When I have one drive already connected and try to add another external drive it either doesn't pop up, or the one...

Hi. Don't know if anyone can help, as this is really a LACIE external problem, more so than a Mac issue, but the lacie external hard drive I have suddenly stopped appearing. I had a power outage the other day...and it actually seemed to be acting a little squirrelly since (I'd have to push the...

Quick background. My old g4 DP 1 ghz died. I now have a new 24" iMac. The old G4 has three internal drives - all ATA. Though I backed up everything and am okay with that, the old machine will not start up (constant kernal panics and other issues). I have a few old external FW drives. What I am...

I have a PowerBook G4 from 2002, running OS X 10.3.9. I have TONS of files on a Western Digital external hard drive, model WD1200B006-RNN, purchased in 2004. This hard drive was working perfectly well until Fall 2008, when my MP3's that are on it would occasionally freeze and stop playing in...

I recently purchased a Philips Voice Tracer 880 digital voice recorder. It interfaces with Mac OS X or Windows via USB. I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.7. Any time I plug in the VT 880, the drive mounts just fine. Then, if I try to open any folders, Finder freezes. I cannot eject...

I have the 2007 intel mini and I am looking for hard drive options. Was thinking of installing a 320 gig 7200 drive in it but they are about the same price point as an external 1 TB 7200 3.5 drive. Is it possible to just run the mini off the external drive via firewire or USB2? Would that be...

Hi, I have a BIG problem with my Mac (Leopard, Black MacBook) everytime I connect a USB Flash Memory or an External HD with a certain amount of memory and then I delete (only when deleting) some of the files inside the external drive, my mac says it still has the amount of memory it had at the...

Hello everyone! I did try and search for a similar problem so I apologise if this has been asked before. On Thursday I did one of those usual OS updates, but after that my external hard drive would no longer connect to my Mac. My external hard drive is a Buffalo and has no firewire so I have...

This isn't about hard drive failure or anything like that, but this is kind of puzzling for me, and I have no idea why it would happen. I had a Firewire External Hard Drive, and that ended up failing. (its in the freezer right now) So I started to use a USB drive from Lacie, one of their...

Alright, I'll just sum up the problem and story right here. So deal is; I've got an iMac (07), and a couple days ago, it had an internal hard drive failure, so I arranged an appointment at my closest Apple store. At the store the Tech-Guy told me I could just buy a new External Hard Drive, and...

Hey all. So yesterday I upgraded to the latest version of osx, and suddenly upon reboot, osx could no longer find my external HD. The HD sounds fine, like usual. I turn it off and back on and I can hear the drive spinning up. But osx can't see it. I have tried rebooting my iMac several times...

For some reason, I can't click and drag to the move the files in my external. I have shows/music whatever in there and I used to be able to click and drag it to the desktop and it would copy onto there. Or if I clicked and dragged into the trash, it would go there and I could delete the file...

I have a 250GB Lacie HD. I want to repartition it from five 42GB drives to two. (I can delete everything in present HDs, as have copied over to new mac) Despite a Google cannot find info. Any clues?

About a month ago I bought a G-Tech 500 GB G Drive. It is formatted for a mac and has worked fine until yesterday. At first it would not stay mounted. I would have it connected and after a few min would disapear off the desktop and I would get a message saying it was improperlly removed and...

Long story of a busted internal drive on a Macbook and more, but I really do need an external CD/DVD that I can use to read/load software, but also use on a PC. USB2. Any recommendations for both a /brand model and a place to buy it? Thanks in advance! P.S. If it cal also support burning DVDs...

I recently got an Intel Mac and am new to Time Machine. Would I be better off backing up to an external drive? Should I get a USB drive or a firewire drive? I do not feel the need for a wireless drive. I want a drive that is quiet but fast. I only have about 100 gigs of data including system...

I have a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5 TB that I got for a really good deal. It says on the box that it is for Windows but I would like to put it on my Mac. Is there anyway to do this? I have a Windows box I can stick it on if I have too but I would prefer the Mac. Thanks Paul
