Lost path to Sample libraries, Multiple_all

[jay farber]

HI All, SD3, with or without DAW.

I bumped a cable to the usb hub, which dropped the disks.

Since I plugged the drive back in (and tested via Disk utility and Samsung utility, both show no problems.)

I lose the paths. It has now done it twice, I did it a second time to proof it.

and it reoccurs.

Comes up error no samples, I got to the settings for the paths and they still point to the correct external drive with the same name (did not change the drive name) but will not reconnect unless I repath every one of them.

 

I can not have this issue reoccurring , huge waste of time.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mac or Windows? You give no system info at all although the phrase ‘disk utility’ would indicate a Mac of some sort.

Did you hot-plug the drive back in or do it with the power off? Even though a device may be hot-pluggable that’s not a good thing to do. Always power down everything, replug and then start up again. Since you mention Samsung I’m guessing it’s an ssd you’re talking about right? Is the hub powered or passive? If powered – bus power or external supply?

What did you do to lose the paths the second time? Did the connection lose it all on it’s own or what? Can you try things without the hub?

HI Thanks,

Yes sorry for the lack of info, MacBook 2017 Monterey 12.3.1. 16gb

Samsung T7

External powered USB Hub

I knocked the cable at the Usb3 CPU side port.

The test was to pull the usb cable a second time after resetting the Paths.

Interestingly I spotted that SD3 had renamed the drive in the path “T7 1” on the second reset.

The Drive did NOT have a Name change it was and is T7.   Thanks again

Just a straight MacBook or MacBookPro?

Manually reset the paths and don’t muck about pulling the connections while powered up. That’s never a good thing to do if you can help it. The reason for the “1” is because SD3 is seeing it as a new or duplicate drive.
