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 Iomega eGo Portable hard drive was connected by USB on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 cable and I was transferring my iPhoto folder. Unfortunately, the cable dropped and I got a message on my laptop hard drive had not ejected correctly. I reconnected it the cable, but now, it does not appear under devices in the search page. I also checked the disc utilities and it isn't here either. I tried to connect the hard drive of my iMac, but it does not appear in the devices out there either.
Although I have been using a Mac since they first appeared on the market and can usually work things, I find it more and more difficult with all the new technology. Everything that used to be so easy, one of the great things the Mac since MS-DOS.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful, because I have a lot of files on this disc of old Mac and use the Iomega to backup my most important files.
The drive may have failed.
Try different USB cables.
Remove the naked drive from the iOmega enclosure and test it in a known functional wardrobe.

5112 does not appear under devices NOR-DAQmx
Why does not list MAX my 5112 under NOR-DAQmx devices, but it is displayed (undefinded) PXI system? Also, I can communicate with the map using the flexible Panel so I think that the device is correctly installed. The main problem is that I can't use this card with my 5600 because MAX reports no digitizer.
The 5600 must be coupled with a 5142 to form a DAA. If you must use the 5112, you can use the 5600 on its own with the pilot DAMA downconvert only mode. Then, it would be possible to manually use the OR-Scope driver with the 5112 to read in the data, but this is not recommended. (It would be essentially the same using a third frequency step-down converter or digitizer).

According to disk management and Device Manager, I don't have a C in any case, a HD partition at all. (I mean on an internal hard drive) So of course, I have a HD since im typing this now. Laughing out loud. the computer seems to know it's got a HD, because it starts very well, but he can't see it. In addition, I can see it in Explorer and see all the folders and files, but that's all. Everything works as usual. What can I do to fix this?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium, 232,88 GB Hitachi HD, NTFS, 4 GB of ram and sound on an HP laptop. I tried to restore windows, ran several antivirus scans and scans of mal-ware/spyware/ad-ware - all came up with nothing and all updates, still the problem persists.
Have you updated your BIOS? This could be a long shot, but have you tried to run the tool it Fix ?

I can access the drive and it's files already on it. But I am unable to send files, more. There are a lot of remaining space on the external hard drive. And I use Windows Vista if it gives more clues to the problem. I can't seem to find the answer to this. Large number of people to open disk management and change the assigned letter. But that's only if (if it appears) if the player initially does not appear under my Computer.Again, i have no problem to access this drive and its contents once it is plugged into my laptop. It just does not recognize under the column "send to." It allows. That's how I was able to get what is on there now on it first.
Hope you understand. I'm not called a techie.
Help, please. Much appreciate any one can give me.

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.

Satellite A350-CD/DVD drive does not appear
My CD drive does not appear in my computer and no longer works
Help, please!
Thank you
Hi denis,.
It appears perhaps with yellow exclamation point in Device Manager? With the code 19 error? I ask this question because I founded this interesting article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060In addition, it would be interesting to know if the drive is seen in BIOS or not because in the worst case, need to replace the disk.

Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS
The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".This means that the CD device is dead?
Hey Micky,
Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.
Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.
Kind regards

I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.
