Hi there, rshammaa.

It seems that your MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.5 is not recognizing your external hard drives. I'll be happy to help you!

OS X El Capitan: preferences Finder -since the drive icons appear on your screen, uncheck and then recheck all your "peripheral" in the tab of the sidebar in your Finder preferences.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support and have a great day!

  • Glyphs no longer appear on the glyphs tab in editor icons

    Hi all

    I have a problem that I feel can have a simple solution, but I don't know where to look.  My glyphs no longer appear in the icon editor, and yet they are present in the correct on my computer folder.  In my view, a path may have got changed somewhere that points to that folder, but there is nothing that I could find in the editor or VI properties.  Maybe too much, I looked at something and it is more obvious as it seems.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
