The oldest one I have that still works is a 30Gb one from 99/2000 but it is old firewire and too small to be of much use. None of my LaCie drives have ever caused any problems or even needed reformatted, the oldest one I still use dates from 2005. I have drowned it for security as I canвЂ™t delete anything and the full restore seems to take forever. Having spent weeks problem shooting on this horrid device over the 11 months since I bought it I have now put it out of service. It is connected to our router by a 0.5meter cable, the router is about 1 meter from my laptop so its not like I am connecting from far away. I had done loads of the stuff in the sticky at the top of the forum ages ago as I did not need it to stream anything or share anything beyond my laptop. Uploading a 7Mb photo was back to taking a few attempts to connect properly via Photos App then about 15mins to transfer. I just kept getting disconnects or that folder / that device does not exist messages. I then managed to transfer 485Gb to it over a few days but by Saturday it started crawling again, yesterday I was unable to delete a folder that has 42Mb in it, I was unable to make a new folder either. I had some success with my Mењњloud device since moving to 10.11.2 I managed to do a proper вЂњquickвЂќ factory restore although вЂquickвЂ™ is not how I would describe it. So far nobodies suggestions have worked for me, so any other suggestions or do I just have to wait until somebody releases a shoddy patch?Д®dit: IвЂ™d like to add that I am indeed on El Capitan 10.11.1, and although I can access my drive to save files etc, my main goal is to be able to use it with Time Machine at the top of the finder screen it says вЂњConnected as: Guest sign in asвЂ¦вЂќ In finder where it connects as guest, when I click on a folder it comes up with the error вЂњThe operation canвЂ™t be completed because the original item вЂвЂ™ canвЂ™t be foundвЂќ. Tried the CMD+K method, still cant connect. It never flagged up telling me about certificate issues. In finder, it connects as guest but gives me the вЂњcould not connectвЂќ error when trying to log in.ДЄs to previous advice, there is no certificate entry in keychain, so cannot change permissions. Got it to a working state in the sense that I can connect to it through every other means except as a shared drive in Finder. Had to manually download firmware and apply manually.

once working, any kind of browser-based connection either didnвЂ™t work or told me I needed to update firmware, but would not connect in order to install firmware.

would not find my device, so I had to use the old software download installer. Installation - now uses a web installer, this did not work.

I am not particularly clear on what is going on or how to fix it but here is where IвЂ™m up to:
