Q: Both my external drivers stopped working since 10.11.6 update, can't even open Disk Utility app...
Hello everyone,
Since I've upgraded to the 10.11.6 version of El Capitan with my Late-2011 MB pro, both my external drivers suddenly stopped working completely. The USB cable one just says "Read only", which is fine. However, the Firewire cable one doesn't mount at all and doesn't even show in Disk utility (actually that app doesn't even open at all anymore...)
It does show in the Terminal though..
The annoying thing is that my Time Machine saved things are in my Firewire drive, so I can't access them.
also tried to plug it into another computer and it didn't show at all, so it's not just my macbook...
getting really desperate here, if anyone can help me..
Thank you
Bettina
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Try running the combo update. It installs all previous updates plus the new one, which can replace any files that may have become corrupted.
