• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

• Drive external hard drive does not appear under "devices."

  Hello

  I just updated my OS to Sierra of MacOS. I have connected my external hard drive (HDD) and it does not appear under "Devices" in my Finder window. It worked fine before the update.

  I use a MacBook Pro (end of 2013), currently running MacOS Sierra (Version 10.12). My external HARD drive is a SeaGate Slim SL Media (500 GB).

  The external HARD disk appears in disk utility application. He also appears on the about this Mac > system report > USB. I don't know what the problem is, the external HARD disk is identified but does not appear for use in the Finder window.

  I read that it could possibly be in mode 'sleep' and putting the MacBook to sleep (while it is plugged into the external HARD drive) and it to wake up again should solve the problem. However, it did not work. No more restarting my MacBook. It was mentioned in another post that it may require extra power, so I attached power adapter and again, without success.

  I do not want to clear the contents of the external HARD drive.

  Is there a way to get my external HARD drive works as expected with my MacBook?

  Thank you much in advance.

  I also have this problem.

  My camera is Macbook Pro 13 "retina 2015 and Seagate Backup more 1 TB (NTFS - Paragon NTFS)

  * Edit *.

  

  My HDD show in report system > hardware > USB

  but it does not show in Finder or Desktop.

• My DVD drive does not appear in Windows Explorer

  This morning my computer ran a scan virus and other things, and when this was done, my computer will not respond to any type of CD.  No DVD, CD or even disks with files stored on them.
  When I open windows Explorer, the drive from DVD (e) is not even more appear.  I was wondering how to fix this.

  Hello

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

  The combo DVD/CD on my laptop drive isn't in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.  The door is not ejected.  You must use a paperclip, poking into the hole to open it.  I also re - it sitting, but it changed nothing.  We had this laptop for 1.5 years and the disk worked great until yesterday when trying to install Starcraft II.  Installation failed and it has messed up also the DVD/CD drive.

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

• Seagate 2 TB external hard drive does not register

  I almost always took care to disconnect the drive safely, and continued to work well when he is accidentally unplugged (only happened 3 - 4 times). Today he did not appear in the office or in the finder, the responses in this thread, external HARD drive Seagate will appear not in place were a little helpful but did not fix my problem. Here are some of the facts of the case, somehow:

  • I use a 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with a 1 TB hard drive (this was added later when the original drive has failed)
  • External hard disk was used to transfer large files a bit to a laptop running Windows 8 and was not ejected safely from this computer
  • The reader is displayed correctly on other MacBooks (tested today) and all files are in order.
  • The drive appears in the report of the system but does not appear in the disk utility.
  • The drive does not appear in the Seagate dashboard that was installed when the car was purchased.
  • The drive has two partitions: one for Time Machine and the other to the format to work on Mac and Windows to store normal files.
  • My MacBook has been impossible to open a .dmg file today, unconnected with. I do not have this issue.

  I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

• Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

  I've had this drive for about a month.

  I am on Windows 7

  I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

  If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

  I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

  I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

  I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

  Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

  I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

  Thank you.

  You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.
