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.

• 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.

  You do not add a printer driver for printers and Scanners.  You add the printer itself.

  The Epson Artisan 50 is not a printer capable of AirPrint, as shown here:

  On AirPrint - Apple Support

  (I have an Epson taking is an AirPrint printer, and it works very well with OS X 10.11.5.)

  The Artisan 50 printer seems (but not scanner) software in the Apple driver:

• DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

  I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
  It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
  The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
  I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

  I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

  Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

  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.

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 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?

• 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.

• Hitachi Touro Desk pro HARD drive does not recognize on the computer of Windows 8.

  Original title: Windows 8 - Hitachi Touro Pro support

  I have a Hitachi Touro Desk pro HARD drive that no longer works since I've upgraded to windows 8 last week. If I leave it connected during startup, windows will not start and if I connect it once started, it does not appear in the Solution Explorer, even if you can hear the disc turns away.

  The HARD drive works on all other computers and operating system, not just windows 8.

  When Microsoft will release a patch for this problem? I really don't want to have to re - install windows 7 so that I can access my files again.

  I have installed Windows 10 Technical Preview version 10049 and connected my drive from 750 GB Hitachi touro in USB 3.0 and it WORKS!

  I can't believe that after several years of frustration with this device with Windows 8.1 incompatibility it finally works great in Windows 10! Please check if you also have Windows 10 TP if your Hitachi drive works as well

• 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
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  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.

• 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.
