• 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.

• USB drive will not appear in the finder, but is OK in disk utility

  My "music backup" external USB 1 TB SSD showed in the Finder, until a few days ago, when he disappeared. I tried dismantling and Assembly of the command line. The said command-line editing is successful, but I still don't see the drive in Finder.

  If I go into disk utility "First aid" reports no problem. The drive is formatted for OS X.  If I right click and say "Open in the Finder" I can see all the folders and even drag in the sidebar where they work, even after a reboot. I can't see the drive at a higher level.

  How can I fix it? I guess a solution would be to create a folder called "Music disc" and then move all files on the disc in it and then put it on the sidebar, but it seems silly. How can I get my hard drive appears again in the finder.

  PS Si I use a third-party file manager, such as ordering a PRO, the USB drive is available for selection in the drop-down list of disks attached.

  Help!

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:

  the shell script ' chflags nohidden ' / Volumes/VolumeName /'.

  put the name of the drive where is VolumeName.

• USB key does not appear in the Finder or Desktop

  Using the latest version of El Capitan on a Macbook 12 "and then plug a SanDisk flash drive in the USB - C drive: the device does not appear in the Finder, at all, not under devices in the sidebar, or anywhere in the Finder. Also it shows only intermittently on the desktop. Of course, this makes the useless car.

  I found that the USB 3 restart MB with 3 USB stick connected via an adapter to the port of C rises. But we must secure it by Apple with an update of the firmware; We should not need to use workarounds to get 3 USB works through much touted app one port USB C.

• 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

• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

• hard drive does not appear el capıtan

  Hello. First of all, I must say that I am not good in English. But I'll try my best to explain what my problem is.

  MacBook Pro OS X EL CAPITAN series: 10.11.2

  I have a hard drive which called WD My passport 500 GB. When ı connect to my mac. I get my password to WD unlocker. Its does not appear on the desktop. It shows the utility disc, but as a transparent. Its gives no information on the hard disk, as applications 0 KB, photos etc, 0 KB.

  I tried first aid button. It said first aid was fallen I tried to connect the Desktop button. He dıd not happen. It is just to stay there as a transparent. I closed and open my mac again. I wanted to be sure that my hard drive is broken or not. I tried with another computer which is windows. He worked there. My disc format is MS - DOT (FAT) but ı have same problem. Can you help me to fıx it. I have very important files. Thank you

  Best account.

  I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem is that you have installed the WD (WD Unlocker) software. On a Mac, you should not install all software 'smart' to manage external dives.

• My cd drive does not appear in the my computer list. Œuvres to eject and it looks like it works.

  Under my computer, Miss me my CD card. I hear the CD player to make the noise, but it will not be displayed on the screen. So I can't read CD that I saved the material on. My Dell is only 3 years old. Maybe bad CD player already? Can you help me? Thank you

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• The previous computer's internal drive does not appear on the current computer

  I have an old hard drive of my days of windows XP.  I plugged on my current computer about a year ago and I was able to access the drive.  Recently, I reformatted my C drive, and I am more able to access the external drive now from a previous computer.  Nothing happens at all.  It does not appear in the computer file.

  The first step you should take is to enter the BIOS Setup program and check if the disk is visible there.
