For Seagate Partioed Install The Paragon

That worked for me. Good luck. lus-deskntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl.

I have a Seagate external hard drive that I store all my pictures on.

I can no longer access the folder on this drive where all my pictures are located.

Does someone know how to fix this problem This is making me sick to my stomach as I have thousands of pictures on this device.

TIA.

Is it detected My drive was, but the partition not recognised.

If you can detect the partition you can load it directly by clicking on the path (mount point).

If you cant detectaccess the detected partitions and your drive was formated to NTFS you can uninstall (go to prefereces) and reinstall the paragon drivers: lus-deskntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl 4.

Retry step 2. If that works proceed to steps 5 and 6.

Fresh OSX yosemite installs (in my case) reset my finder preferences to not display my external drives in finder window sidebars.

Click on the devices heading.

Also check finder preferences, and make sure external disks options are checked under the general and sidebar tabs (if thats what you want).

Good luck.

I have downloaded the Paragon NTFS SW from te Seagate website.

I installed this sw and suddenly I could see and access the external disk.

After installing Yosemite my Mac does not recognize at all the disk; it is not mounted and a warning message says The computer can not use this disk I have no other ways to access the disk: not seen in finder, not seen in Disk Utility, not seen from data recovery apps.

I purchased this to be used as Time Machine drive so its formatted OS X Journaled prior to upgrading to Yosemite from Mavericks.

Unplugging the drive and plugging it back int to the USB port seems to fix the issue but it kind of defeats having it as Time Machine drive if you expect the backup to just work.

My issue is a but different as Im using it as a Time Machine drive and its formatted OS X Journaled but I opened a case with Seagate and they are looking at the Macbook OS X as being the problem.

I quote: If the drive is not showing up on boot in System Report, this would indicate the Mac is not sending a wake up message to the drive.

Try different USB ports to see if it is a specific port causing this issue.

If you have access to any other Macs running Yosemite, try it there to see if the issue follows the drive or is specific to your computer.

I read on another thread if you turn off your Mac, unplug ALL usb devices, unplug Mac for 30 seconds, plug in Mac and turn on, plug in external drives then open Finder you will see the drives.

I have done this and it works BUT the files on the drive wont open for about 10-20 minutes.

THEN if the computer sleeps, upon waking the drives have been ejected and are no longer visible.

I explained the situation and they were able to reformat my driver.

It did take a long time as my 20,000 some pictures had to be removed from the external hard drive and then reinstalled back on the hard drive once the drive was reformatted, but it all worked out.

I am very happy with the outcome and the knowledge those people have at the Apple Store.

Good luck. lus-deskntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl.
