Hi
I have been using a LaCie Rugged external hard drive with my new MacBook Pro without problem. Without warning the mirror function wouldn't work and now I am getting the error messages "unreadable" or "no readable volumes." When I plug it into another laptop it seems to work ok. Any ideas how I can fix this? Many thanks
Hi Kitty12C,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're having trouble with the external hard drive you use when connected to your Mac. I see that the mirroring function stopped and you're seeing "unreadable" or "no readable volumes" errors. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. First, I'd suggest using First Aid via Disk Utility to check the disk for errors: Repair a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac
If everything looks ok with the disk, but the errors persist, try starting your Mac in safe mode and test again: How to use safe mode on your Mac
Restart your Mac normally and test again if the issue seems resolved in safe mode.
Let me know what you find.
Best Regards.
