• Drive external hard connected via USB hub: icons not showing on desktop

  Hi... on an iMac 2015, using a USB hub 3.0 occasionally to connect an external hard drive (which stores these things as art assets)... but the external hard drive icon does not appear on the desktop... it IS in the sidebar of Finder, though...

  But on the icon the Finder sidebar, the small icon "eject" gray is missing, and the only way to eject is to right click and select "eject" or use the eject button in the Finder toolbar... it's okay...

  But is there a way to display the icon on the desktop, so I can always remember to eject the disks attached?

  (the desktop icon shows normally when connected directly via the USB ports at the rear)

  Thank you.

  Finder-> Preferences-> general, check the appropriate boxes under "show these items on the desktop".

• drive external hard connected via usb hub powered Time Capsule guard fall...

  Hello.

  Try using a player external 3.5 "connected via USB hub powered to my Time Capsule to serve as a backup Time Machine secondary.

  When I connect the external hard drive, it turns out, and everything seems good (Yes it is correctly formatted). I see the external hard drive in my time machine preferences panel and also the desktop browser window, etc..

  After selecting the drive hard as the second backup TM, I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies. Audit of airport utility, the drive no longer appears in the profile of Time Capsule. I can't turn back the drive without unplugging / plugging the USB cord. I went to HD (WD green 4to) and HGST 4to - deleted both.

  What is the speaker (the box is powered)? Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls? Something else?

  Just seems like something somewhere that expire, causing it to drop the connection...

  Thanks for your useful suggestions to fix this!

  Is your TC the Gen5, model AC?

  I must say that your experience is not uncommon. I tested it myself recently and was disappointed in how the poor reliability has been... Although not as bad as yours... in fact cutting in a few minutes to start a backup is ridiculous.

  What is the speaker (the box is powered)?

  Quality of the envelope varies a lot... What is it??

  If this is the typical brand X... Plug it into your Mac. is it reliable?

  Go to your control panel and dig up the actual USB chip used... I don't know if we can help on type a lot. But it helps us determine the fleas are a problem.

  I found the hard drive in the finder to mount helped... not the sparsebundle that must be mounted by Time Machine... but the disk must be mounted in the finder so that you can copy files back to him.

  I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies.

  Check in the finder, it has created the sparsebundle and works.

  Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls?

  It's our usual recommendation... but he won't always help... especially if the USB hub is another brand X...

  Note that all societies are changing USB tokens at the drop of a hat... some seller of a rival company arrives and offers them 1 c off the coast of 1 million chips it is common to spend even in the middle of a race. Even the tenors have no satisfactory fixed hardware...

  The computer has loads of memory... and may contain drivers for hundreds of different USB tokens... but the TC is a very limited amount of space and with questions if the driver is not fair.

  I started a thread for a database just now... has not progressed much.

• XP hangs after connecting an external hard drive via USB port

• 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.

• Satellite A200-1If - drive external HARD after a while is "unknown device".

  Hello!

  I have such a problem: I work with my external case alu Toshiba 3.5 HDD 500 GB and after awhile of copy of the files in the laptop it disappears and appears this luckily device recognized.
  Can it be caused by not enough power in the USB port?

  THX for any help or the workaround

  Hello

  Yes, this may be caused by the fact, there is not enough power provided by the USB port. first of all, note that external USB hard drives 3.5 inches are generally designed to be used with systems of office due to their higher power needs (this is also the reason that many need an external power supply of their own). my suggestion would be to buy a 2.5 inch drive external hard USB is designed to be used with laptops. Another reason that the hard drive may disappear when copying files, is that there may be a problem with the connection of the USB cable between the laptop and the external HARD drive. I suggest to check that both ends are connected properly and not put any pressure on the cables and keep them stable.

  I hope this helps you with your question

• Drive external HARD is compatible with eSata on Satellite L655-158

  Hello

  I buy a L655-158 this weekend, I also intend to buy a Seagate external hard drive that fits the eSata using something like that: -.

  "Times that are up to six times faster than with USB 2.0 powered Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable of eSATA transfer is designed to keep pace with you, to offer you!

  With the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA upgrade Cable you can easily and inexpensively switch interface GoFlex and GoFlex Pro Ultra-Portable from your hard drive at speeds ultra-fast eSATA.

  Hello

  There are just sort of eSATA port. If the external HARD disk supports eSATA interface so I guess you can connect this external HARD disk to the port eSATA to the Satellite L655-158

• drive external hard letters block

  I bought a new computer.  Ranging from the tp XP 64 pro 7.  I have several external hard drives that I use frequently for backups, etc.  With XP, I was able to assign certain letters to some readers.  After that, whenever I plugged this drive in (all USB), he would get the same letter.  In other words if I had 'J' assigned to a drive, whenever I connected this drive, it would come as 'J' even if a lower letter like 'E' or 'F' could be available.  I remember even now how I did it.  Somewhere in player management control components.  I guess I can do the same in Win 7, but I can't.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you want to lock the drive letters for your external drives. I'll be happy to help you.

  I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps you to assign drive letters.

  a. connect your external hard drive

  b. open disk management by using the following procedure:

  c. Click Start

  d. type 'computer management' in the start search box

  e. click on computer management, under storage, click disk management

  f. right click on the drive that you want to name it, click on paths and change the drive letter, choose drive letter you want to use, and then click OK

  g. unplug your hard drive external and reconnect the drive. It should always be assigned to this letter.

  Note: It is best to use the first available drive letter, or the first series of consecutive drive letters in the case of multiple partitions.

  If you still have problems or questions please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• Photos of my drive external hard of my XP will not download on Windows 7

  I'm having a problem with my Windows 7 too. TOO MUCH SECURITY!  I tried all day to get the pictures on my external hard drive in our new computer, but he rejects every time. Its a hard drive universal that should work with any computer!

  My husband & I both use the same name of the administrator to avoid problems. HA! I went through security as I was told that repair permissions. It makes no difference. We have the characteristics of supported file on the computer that must be compatible with our photos on the external hard drive.
  So really I have no idea why the pictures won't load on the computer.

• Drive external HARD encrypted in ExFat?

  Hello

  I have a new drive external HARD I need to use on a Mac and a PC. I need to access the same files (data analytics), so I don't want to make 2 partitions and have duplicate files. What I've read, it seems that ExFat is the best option for this (they are large files, so that the FAT will not work). My work, however, requires external hard drives to encrypt. When I tried to put it on my MacBook Pro (El Capitan), however, I received an error.

  My question is this: is there a way to meet all three of these criteria?

  (1) disk encrypted

  (2) read/write on a mac

  (3) read/write, the same files on a PC

  I have a separate HARD disk for Time Machine, I use an airport. This disc will have to travel with me.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you were able to encrypt it using the built-in OS x software, Windows would not be able to decipher. If you use a Windows build-in encryption software, OS X would not be able to decipher.

  You have to find a 3rd party package that works on BOTH OS X and Windows, which can encrypt and decrypt on both platforms.

  In the past, I would have done TruCrypt, however, he was abandoned by unknown original authors, but there have been a few replacements based on the original source of TruCrypt.  Try googling 'TruCrypt Alternatives' and you might find something where they support the OS X and Windows.

  Otherwise, you will need to find another cross platform encryption package.
