Hello, I could really use some help from the tech minded people who know more than I. I have a session tomorrow and my flame doesn’t want to launch. I launched my flame and all my projects are greyed out. I don’t think it sees the storage as mounted even though I can see it on my desktop and acces…

I think you mean mv ./storage\ 1 ./storage IE there was an extra \ in Randy’s command after the 1. I put ./ in there to make it clearer (which will still work, just meaning “current directory”

Are you SURE the external drive is mounted after the reboot? External drives on Macs LOVE to change their actual name under the hood but show you a different name on the desktop. Lemme dig up some forum posts for ya.

Hey Randy. Well i can see it and access files on it but oddly enough after the reboot I did get a notification from backblaze saying it couldn’t back up because of a diff name but the name hasn’t changed on the desktop.

The Desktop name doesn’t matter. It’s lying to you. And Backblaze is pissed? Yeah, the name under the hood is different. In a terminal, type this: ls -al /Volumes report back

Ignore the one that called Flame_Storage. My framestore is just called storage but you are correct now there is an extra one called storage 1. [Screenshot 2025-01-09 at 8.33.47 PM]

yup. okay, That’s the problem. So, here’s my disclaimer. Im not there. Im not your sysadmin. Do this at your own risk. In a terminal, type: cd /Volumes sudo mv storage storage_BAK sudo mv storage\ 1\ storage And that should fix it.

So i put in the first sudo command and got this. Is this correct? Keep going? [Screenshot 2025-01-09 at 8.44.58 PM]

Nah ya mistyped it. Don’t worry, you didn’t mess anything up. the command you typed was missing a word. Ya gotta do this… sudo mv storage storage_BAK

Ok. Just gonna apologize ahead of time since i think i did something wrong again. And thank you for your patience. The command line is not in my wheelhouse. [Screenshot 2025-01-09 at 8.53.28 PM]

You’re doing fine. What you can do instead is solve this a different way. Backblaze style. If you want, you can always open a Backblaze support ticket. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254908811?sortBy=rank
