external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

Hello

My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

I use the last BONES of El capitan.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thank you.

If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

(also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

Use with this hard drive inside.

The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

In any case...

Good luck & happy computing!

  • RAW files missing changes after moving to an external hard drive

    Hi, I use lightroom 4 and I cleaned a part of my images on my laptop and then exported in JPEG files. My hard drive has started to fill up, so I moved all my files on raw on an external hard drive but now when I come back to make adjustments to these images it tells me that the file is missing. How the raw return file so that it shows the changes I made?

    The changes should have been stored in the catalog file or in an XMP Sidecar file. Also moved the XMP Sidecar files. These XMP files can be marked as system files in OS X, and unless you have show system files (which, with OS X for that option and turn it you may need to use Terminal), and or display all files, Finder can hide on your part.

  • My external hard drive missing from my computer

    Hi everyone is smarter than me... which would include about each of you.  ;-)
    I have a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive connected to my laptop Dell Inspiron 6000 Intel Pentium clocked at 1.86 GHz proc running Windows XP V2002 Pro 32 bit SP3. Until a few days ago the WD is working fine since I bought it about 3 years ago.

    The problem: the drive is listed in the device as Manager works fine but it does not appear in my computer. I reinstalled the WD software and run the diagnosis that came back with a mistake or two test and repair but not yet in MyComp. I searched the entire computer, but the E: drive is not there. I have studied this thing to the end, including the proposed solutions on Microsoft here, but I am against the wall and do not know what else to do.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Me = SHOUTING, CHEERING, YELLING, CELEBRATING, essentially going nuts!  :-)

    Guess what, y ' All? I found my Western Digital external hard drive!  I'm so excited!  I was not happy that since my children were born.  Laughing out loud.

    AND I OWE IT ALL TO TECH-GEEK! THANK YOU 1 BILLION, JILLION AND GAZILLION, BILLIONS OF TIMES!

    Your post today mentioning external hard drive to your customer and how you had retrieved all the data using http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk, it's what saved my life! I spent very little time on their site and very little time running of the programme and BING POW ZOOM! My drive is back, fully intact, not a single missing file!  I think it's all because I was able to give the drive a name (you know, L for logic and so forth). Because as soon as I wrote the files on the disk - which literally seconds - restarted, and BINGO! She's back in my computer!

    I can't begin to even formulate words to properly express how I am grateful to you, TG. I am most grateful. Can I make a donation to your charity in your name?

  • Turns off external hard drive... Do not see it displayed in my computer

    I've just set up a new computer and I copied filed from my old computer to an external hard drive.  When I plug my external hard drive to the new computer USB port... it turns on but only run for a VERY short time, and then turns off.  I tried to see the external hard drive showed in my computer... it does not appear there.  Y at - it something I need to do for my drive external hard DO NOT turn off after a few seconds.  Why I don't see that there is another "drive" on my computer?

    I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the external hard drive and see if they can provide a flexible solution. Good luck, Bob

  • External hard drive in the Device Manager but not in disk management

    So I have this external hard drive Western Digital 1 TB. I've had for over a year now and it was working fine. I would like to trade my XBox 360 and the computerregularly. Then one day I brought home, plugged into the computer and nothing. My friend and I couldn't understand anything. We have gone as far as removing the hard drive and put it directly into the computer. I have reviewed, that he has lost.

    Then yesterday, on a whim, I tried to connect it again to the USB port. It is presented in the Device Manager but says that its drivers have not been installed. Then, I changed the USB ports on the back of the computer and as if by magic, that this is once again. I had full access. Stupid (and you can see where this is going) did not immediately transfer anything off the hard drive. I'm looking for an image and listen to a song off of said hard drive when the drive went suddenly not recognized.

    I can see now the reader in the Manager of devices under disk drives, and USB devices. However it does not appear in the disk management window. And Yes, I checked as well the Productdocumentation upper and lower, that it is not listed. Go to the area where you assign drive letters not shown not be. Normally this is E:.

    I also tried to remove the UpperFilters registry in regedit. It was not to remove LowerFilters. Obviously, that didn't work or the other.

    I tried several cords and all my USB ports with no luck either.

    I went on the WD Web site, but they do not offer anything other than a partitioner that I would save rather than as a last resort as there are a number of things on the hard drive I want to save.

    So it's not like it's a new HD to be partitioned or an old man who comes out crapped. I know there's the data I just need to get home long enough to get what I need. Maybe I missed my window, but maybe I did not. Maybe someone can help. I'm at the end of my mind on this thing.

    Sounds like a problem of partition (maybe corrupted partition tables) if the device is recognized, but not the 'disk '.

    There are recovery/repair partition about tools.  Western Digital actually have some but I think that they are made for internal drives.

    If I were you, I start with WD and start looking for partition recovery/repair tools.  If this is the problem then it is the right kind of problem and you using the right type of solution can fix it easily.

    If this is not the case, some data recovery tools can help you recover some files even if you have to recreate a new partition, although I wish you much luck with this approach!

    Good luck whatever you try and make sure that you do not overwrite the what partition information, you have without making backups (many partition edititing software will offer backups)

  • external hard drive "went missing" during normal operation

    I usually keep my computer running most of the time, turn off updates (as they charge for this), or because of a problem that I get with my external hard drive. Randomly, professional Vista continues to recognize its existence. The hard drive is still plugged in, turned, and so forth, but he claimed not to be there. It is not even appear on the window of my computer... It is starting to really bother me, as can happen when I fell asleep with my laptop for background noise (music) and music will leave just about me or when I'm working on a project in Photoshop, and I can't access my images to use.

    I can't just scrap what is on the disk hard to reformat, it's almost his TB limit and I don't have the space to save a lot more information on my intern.

  • I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

    Hello

    So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

    I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

    Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

    This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

    In the future more facts and less editorial help here

    SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem

    What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)

    You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries

    You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock

    When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library

    I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

  • I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

    I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

    Please advise...

    The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

    What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

    Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

    You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

    I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

    For the storage of the files it is fine.

    For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

    And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

    Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

  • Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

    I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

    My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

    I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

    If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.
