After updating my 2013iMac today (fusion drive), all of my applications were locking up and my external drive (which all my media is stored on) was spinning up and being recognized as the correct size and usage, but I'm unable to access its contents.
Unfortunately, the commonality of external hard drive failures has cluttered search results, so I'm looking for some help on what my next steps are...?
Also, I still haven't cleared up the applications force quitting. Handbrake, iTunes, System Preferences, Disk Utility, and Finder have all failed. All of them, aside from handbrake, have intermittently been working.
