PowerPC :: Internal HDD Doesn't Mount?

Nov 23, 2010

I have a Dual 1.8 G5. I've been experiencing shutdowns at start up but came to the conclusion that it was the primary hard drive failing somehow. So I installed 10.4 on a secondary hard drive and use that as my main and it works.

So this hard drive that failed is readable when I boot from CD and run disk utility. But if I boot in 10.4 the disk doesn't mount but it shows up in disk utility as unmounted. Also shows up in system profiler.

Is there a way I can get this drive to mount so I can make backups of stuff on there? Right now I'm transferring files using Terminal when I boot from CD - it would be easier if i can use a GUI interface to do this.

Software :: Internal Hdd Won't Mount?

Jan 21, 2009

I have a mac G5 dual 2 ghz powerpc with 1 gb ram running Leopard.

I recently bought a 1 tb Seagate Barracuda internal hard drive, which has been installed and running fine as my primary drive for the last month. My backup drive runs OS 10.3.9.

This morning my daughter was uploading some pictures to Snapfish when a message suddenly came across the screen saying, "You must restart your computer now." She restarted, and the computer only starts up on the old backup drive. Disk utility won't even show the new drive.

OS X :: How To Stop Auto Mount Of Second Internal Hd

Nov 18, 2010

I have a second internal harddrive, which I only rarely use, but it mounts every time I boot. What do I need to do to stop it from auto mounting at boot?

One way is to edit /etc/fstab, but I'm not sure what exactly I have to do.

Mac Pro :: Manually Mount Internal HDD, Software Options?

Sep 21, 2009

I have filled the 4 bays of my MP with 30GB SSD's in RAID 0 and have a 1TB traditional HDD in the optical bay. In an effort to keep the machine as speedy as possible I was hoping to keep the traditional 1TB unmounted until it use is needed (wont be that often).

I am familiar with how to unmount/eject a drive once the computer is running, but is there a way for the machine to start up without it trying to access the drive thus slowing the boot time?

I have an older Mac G4 running OS X (10.4.11) and I have three internal hard drives, one of which will not mount. I can hear it spinning up and trying to mount, but it won't.Is it trashed? I've tried everything I know to get it to mount. Is there a way that I can at least recover some files that are on it?

Jan 10, 2009

i bought a ibook G4 off of a friend and knowning it needed some repairs it needed a new Harddrive. He had a 100Gig Seagate replaced in it before me and I tried a new 60Gig when I got it.either one of us couldnt boot either HD, we can not find the new Internal HD with the Mac. I can boot off a External HD holding down ALT. And i already tried clearing the P-ram many times.

Also when i go to load a 10.3 OSX disk it loads and either gives me a red circle X or like sorta artfacts and shifts the apple screen to the side of the page. Ive spent hours trying to fix this and have no luck. do i need a 10.4 or 10.5 disk? i did add 256MB ram to it so heres the specs. I have no clue what to do. ALSO! when i boot the external under the specs it wont show the HD under disk utilty or the about my pc info...

OS X :: Freeagent For Mac Doesn't Mount After 10.5.6 Update?

Dec 17, 2008

I'm sorry to say that all was OK until.. I updated OS to 10.5.6 two days ago.. and my external 1T Seagate Freeagent Desktop for Mac stopped mounting on Firewire.
It will mount on USB, it will mount on FW when Mac is restarted, but will not when you boot up after your system was shut down.
I tried to reformat, repair the disk, repair permissions and nothing worked.

Somebody posted that you should disconnect your Firewire stuff before OS update? Is this correct?

Can anyone please suggest anything as I don't want to end up having this HD hooked with USB...

Alternatively how can I revert to the OS before the update? Is restoring from Time Machine the only solution?

OS X :: Disk On Network Doesn't Automatically Mount Using Backup

Sep 13, 2009

I use Backup (the Mac app) to backup some things to my iDisk and others to an hd connected to my airport extreme. It works fine, except for that when the app appears (each day) for the scheduled backup to the network hd, (it sits there waiting, saying ''waiting for volume... and the name of the disk"). I have to go to the finder, open a window, go to 'All' under 'Shared' locations, choose the network hd, click on the folder (there's only one one the disk) and then, and only then, will the backup begin. Is there any way for it to just be able to find the folder by itself and perform the backup without my having to find the folder for it every time?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Can't Start Mac Because Took Too Much Space And Now The Disk Doesn't Mount

Mar 27, 2012

I am most certain that this is the case: foolishly, I didnt leave much free space and now the disk doesnt want to mount. I tried the single user mode, I also booted from DVD, they appear but the disk utility shows the disk but I cannot repair the disk, because it is unmounted. I tried the basic commands in single user mode, no effect either. I still cant get over the blue screen with the apple logo and a circle running. I need to free up some spasce. Unforetunately, important  files were not backedup, so I really cant delete the whole disk. I need to delete specific files.  I dont know where are my big files located - so, how do I orientate myself among the folders? Lets say I would delete my itunes libary, which I would later on renew thanks to the back/up, how would I delete them?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Windows On Mac :: Internal Microphone And The Driver That Doesn't Seem To Work?

Aug 28, 2010

I'm on the latest MBP and when I'm in bootcamp on Ventrillo, I sound like darth vader when I talk. I think the problem lays in the internal microphone (and the driver that doesn't seem to work)? So if I get an external one and plug it in, I'd rather not want to go buy an external mic and just have it not work still.

MacBook Pro :: Keys In Row 1-9 And A-L Doesn't Respond On Internal Keyboard

Jun 18, 2014

Happened all of a sudden. I tried to restart, and now I am stuck at the login screen, as i can't type my password.

I suspect it to be some sort of accidentally triggered numlock like function.

When i hold down the fn key and pres 54 a symbol is entered (but i can't see which, as it is in my password box), and also when i hold fn and hit s and g simultaneously, the whole text is highlighted.

PowerPC :: G5 Drive Failing Won't Mount?

Jun 22, 2010

Last night I heard a couple of clicks and my G5 OS X 10.4.11 Boot Drive became unresponsive, Shutdown. Was able to install System on 2nd Internal. Launched DiskWarrior, which found the bad drive and made Preview Directory. Before had a chance to copy all more clicking started, so Shutdown. This AM swapped the drives in the bays so The Bad Drive is now in the Lower Bay. However now Diskwarrior does not see the damaged Drive nor does Disk Utility.

PowerPC :: Emac Failing To Mount In Target Mode?

Jul 15, 2009

I have a Emac G4 1.24mhz which I bought from Ebay, to replace my sons old Imac G3 (He moaned he could not watch Iplayer on it)

The problem I have is that It will not install from the combo drive, the drive mounts any disc so I know it not the drive.
I know the hard drive good (80gb as it came from a Imac G3 which was running Panther 10.3.9 when I swapped the drives over the Emac booted but after a while it would freeze.

I have tried to reinstall Panther but if fails to recognise the cd from a straight cd boot ( when pressing �C� ) and only shows me the broken folder. The only disc the Emac boots from is my G5 IMac install disc but this will only allow me to reformat the drive.( which I have done)

I have also tried to boot from Target Mode using my Imac G5 via a new Firewire cable and the Emac fails to mount. I get the bouncing fire logo on the Emac but that is all.

I have tried to boot and inscert the cable at the same time but this has failed.

Would it be a firmware problem?

It is possible to boot the machine into linux so I could use this os but my son likes Mac OS and been using it since he was two

PowerPC :: Will IMac Internal Modem Work In G4?

The iMac is a G3 Slot-load SE, and the PowerMac is a G4 450MHz AGP. I happen to have an AGP that only came with the telephone jack, but no modem card connected inside. Both modems look the same in photos: 661-2213 (slot load) & 661-2186 (AGP). Is the only difference that the newer one has flex K56?
