  • 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".

  • Devices drivers not showing no not after its installation. How can I show different pilot locations when looking at a workstation?

    I installed a hard drive of 250 GB and once he showed me that it is installed and that the device is administrable via Control Panel, it cannot be opened or read when you browse the file directory. How he finds out, open it and browse to the location of the devce driver if she does not?

    Hi Anderson5903,

    1. What is the brand and model of the hard drive?
    2. How is the 250 GB drive connected, it's via the USB port or internal drive?
    3. it worked on other computers?

    I also suggest you to check in the disk management for the hard drive and also check if it has a drive letter assigned, if the drive letter is not assigned, then you can assign a drive letter and check the issue.
              
    To change drive letter assignments in Windows 7, follow these steps:
                  
    a. log in the computer as an administrator.
    b. Insert a disk in the removable drive.
    c. Click Start, right-click computer and then click on manage.
    d. click on disk management.
    e. right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then click on change drive letter and paths.
    f. click on the removable drive, click it, click on change, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

    I just upgraded to V4.5 software and Documents To Go is supposed to be available for read-only access to documents.  It is not, and when I go back and upgrade success again once he tells me I later and won't let me edit or change the settings, so I can't check to see if maybe he jumped.

    Is there a way to make it work?  I'm fine with reading only at the moment.  Do I need another download of Documents to Go?

  • DVD players do not show up as removable devices in solution under my computer Explorer - they show that local hard drives

    DVD players in my machine do not appear in the removable devices section of the browser on the computer.  They are found under hard drives and he has not shown the removable devices section.

    Some of my applications cannot detect that there is a DVD drive attached to the system because of that.

    As a problem, the USB devices do not show as removable storage also.

    I tried to reinstall the devices for DVD players but no change to the situation.

    Can anyone suggest a solution?  The problem has persisted since I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro.

    Thank you
    Steve.

    Hi Steveci,

    There are a few things I would say.  Go to your computer manufacturer's website to get the latest version of the BIOS and drivers for the chipset of your machine.  Also, please see the following article some troubleshooting for the reader of CD/DVD is not recognized:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Emails sent from the device is not displayed in the "sent"box and "BIS" question

    Dear all and Rim:

    New to the BB world, need more help...

    AOL mailbox to connect with 'Tour' with success, the service provided by Verizon.

    Emails sent from the device are not show to AOL "Sent Box" or "IMAP" Outlook Express / outgoing server "POP" record "SMTP."

    Really need copies of "Sent Box", thanks for the help!

    Also try to put in place 'BIS' accout, error message says:

    "Your account is not accessed through a browser HTML...".

    Please use your device to access the Black Berry Internet services"

    I used this link:

    https://bis.na.BlackBerry.com/HTML?brand=VZW

    Thank you,

    Jan

    For the mail issue seems to send me a copy is the only way to go, right?

    This would be a solution.

    And on the BRI, my test was on a PC, it did not work...  Anyway, I was going to connect to the BIS to work on my question above, but seems that it does not help now, then it does not matter if I enter or not.

    Well, it's quite strange... I just used who link me (from a PC) and get my BIS account very well. You can, however, use the interface for device BIS - watch this demo that I you provided above for instructions on this. BIS is simply a service provided by your operator. The PC/Web site method and device interface - these are simply two different interfaces in the same Department, so using one or the other is not serious... they cause the same thing.

    Good luck!

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager will not show that I am connected

    My "BOLD" will connect to my Vista computer via a USB port. I can copy files if I do it myself. Blackberry Device Manager shows that I am connected to my computer. The Desktop Manager program does not show that I am connected. It says I am disconnected. I am the administrator of the computer. I loaded the program using the option "Run as Administrator" enabled. It's very frustrating! Please help me.

    Thank you

    I got it! I had installed the program Microsoft parental control on my computer and things seem to start down. I uninstalled the program, and everything seems to be working again!

  • messages not showing is not on all devices

    I have two computers and a smart phone, I use sometimes to check my email. I had messages download and see on a device and not on the other. I thought since it's an account they go on all messaging devices.

    Depends on the question of if you have set up your Thunderbird e-mail accounts to use IMAP or pop.

    If POP, then Thunderbird can only access and download from the server Inbox. It is normal to remove the copy from the server after download.
    So this means that if you access this account on another device or via webmail address, then the e-mails that you have downloaded will not be on the server, so you don't see them.

    Stop this is to make sure the email POP account to leave a copy on the server after download.
    Tools > account settings > server for pop e-mail account settings
    or
    Right-click on mailaccount pop in the folders pane, and then select "settings".
    then select "Server settings" for the pop email account.
    Select 'leave messages on the server.
    Click OK

    Please note that all emails you send will be only stored in Thunderbird, so you can not see the server. E-mails deleted in thunderbird has no effect on the e-mails still on the server, except if you have enabled this option in the server settings.

    Alternative, is to create email IMAP accounts.
    IMAP e-mail accounts show a remote view of the files on the server.
    you subscribe to view these folders.
    If you delete an email in a Thunderbird imap email account, then it is deleted on the server that the files are indeed, a same. Thus, other devices to connect to the server will not see email which has been deleted.

  • Re: Realtek 8191SE card will not show up in Device Manager

    Part number Satllite L450D-128: PSLY5E-01301LEN, Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    Hello

    I can't use my wireless internet connection. The connection to the LAN works fine when connected via a cable.
    I have read all related topics to make sure that I'm not repeating a problem already solved, but I can't figure out the problem.

    The connection in the status bar indicator displays no network available.

    The wireless light on the front of the laptop does not illuminate.

    FN + F8 does nothing (even after delivered to zero cards flash with package etc.) 8191SE map does not show in the Device Manager and tried to add manually without success.

    I installed the last card wireless driver specific to the 8191SE yet once but nothing.

    I also removed the card and re-sitting there but still nothing shows in the dev Manager.

    I've also updated my BIOS and made sure the wireless is turned on.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    Do the last ultimate test: install original recovery image that you got with the functionality of your laptop and check.
    If the material is OK that should be listed in Device Manager after installing the driver on the right.

  • Airport not showing is not as network device?

    My Airport Extreme 802.11ac does not appear in the finder as a network device. It showed in the previous Extreme model I was using, then leave for any reason any. After messing around for a month or two, then trying to get it working again, I bought the new 802.11ac AE, but it does the same thing.

    I have two other devices that appear in the finder under the shared part of the side bar of the Finder window, but cannot figure out how to show by EI. The wireless feature works very well, as a printer BSE connected to the USB port of the AE. Internet

    It would be different if I was using the IP address of the type 10.x.x.x instead being in bridge mode and using 192.168.1.X?

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    My Airport Extreme 802.11ac does not appear in the finder as a network device

    In the finder it will show only upward if you have a connected USB drive.

    It showed in the previous extreme model that I used

    Only if you have the network resources available to him.

    Computers will be displayed, because they offer resources network, the PF to be exact.

    But the airport will not be displayed. Mine is not, and never has.

    My Time Capsule arises because it is a hard drive offering services of files on the network.

    Printers will not appear in the finder no longer...  Again, I have printers online... they do not show in finder and never have any version of Mac OS X, I used.

    However a printer with USB or SD card slots and a wired card which offers services of files on the network may appear... In the only finder services files will be displayed.

    EI has to offer network file services appears in the Finder... Plug a USB stick into the USB port and set it to share on the network and the AE will then appear in the finder.

    The place that you are looking for your AE's utilitarian Airport... It's the Apple of method available to see you the configuration of EI... no viewfinder.

  • Ethernet adapter is not showing in the Device Manager

    I have a vastro 460 with i3 with intel and Windows 7 32 bit. try to install the driver for the network card, but does not. Ping works but do not show in the Device Manager.

    Any help will be much appreciated

    Hi EMH.

    You will need to install the Chipset Drivers first and later network adapter drivers. The IP address that you have ping is the local host and works, even when there is no network card detected.

    Please download and install the NIC in the network section and the section Chipset Chipset drivers from the following link, by drilling in the serial number:
