    Card Reader mounting on 10.15.7

    I own a mid-2012 Macbook. Updating to Catalina 10.15.7 has disabled mounting of my card reader plugged into the USB slots with a CF express card in it. ALL other external disks mount normally. The card reader does NOT appear in disk utility, resetting SMC and PRAM does nothing. I even...

    Resolved So Confuse! Older OS HD's not mounting due to new APFS?

    Anyone have this kind of problem? TLDR below... I have a newer MBP that is running the latest software, and a 2009 MP with outdated software (10.9.5). I just recently did a big trip to Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Patagonia, etc. and have 200GB files to transfer over. The trip was bloody...

    iPad Pro Magnetically Hanging on Wall (New 12.9" Photo)

    FYI, the new iPad Pro has so many strong magnets that you can hang it on a vertical metal surface. It feels like a moderately strong hold, too. I imagine this would also work on a fridge. I meant to try it on my fridge last night, but forgot, but it sticks to the heater in my office just fine...

    Recovery volume spontaneously mounting

    I have a menubar utility called "Mountain" which I use to mount and unmount volumes on my iMac. It also shows a notification whenever volumes are mounted and unmounted. Since my installation of macOS 10.13 ("High Sierra") I've noticed that from time to time the "Preboot" and "Recovery" volumes...

    External HDD only mounts after 20 minutes of whirring, is it dying?

    I'm using a 2TB Samsung (Model: HD204UI) 3.5 inch hard drive in a Sharkoon QuickPort Duo USB 3 dock, and most of the time it works fine, it's fast, no problems. I use it to back up another external drive with a little app called Backup Buddy, so it's not the end of the world if it dies. I just...

    USB thumb failed and won't mount

    Hello all, I hope this is an acceptable place to ask this. I am quite frustrated, mostly at myself due to this failure. Let me tell you what happened and what I've tried. I had a FCP X project on a 128GB thumb drive (3.0 by PNY) that I was creating favorites in clips from. No extensive...

    My USB drive shows up in Disk Utility but isn't mounting

    [EDIT: I'm no longer having this problem. I erased the USB drive in Disk Utility, which caused it to mount. However, now it's not showing up on the Windows laptop I'm using, which seems like a problem outside the scope of this forum. I may just transfer my files another way. Thanks to those who...

    Drobo DAS not mounting and Disk Utility won't Launch

    It's there - the Drobo, I mean and the HDD that is passing through is mounting so the cable is fine (FW800 into TB adapter, into iMac). Did utility won't launch, just hangs, and there's no way to get this sucker in my finder.
