My hard drive will not be displayed in the Finder, please help!

I tried several options to try to solve my problem, but it is not good. I have an external hard drive Seagate 2 to. I used it for about 6 months, but one day it just does not appear in the Finder more. I checked in disk utility and it shows up there, but it is labeled as "Uninitialized 2 TB Windows NT specifien". It seems strange, that it now says Windows when I used it fine on my Mac in the past. It won't let me hit mount either. Please help me.

Thank you.

Did you have the Seagate utilities or any installed third-party NTFS software? The drive has never been formatted to support OS X?

Connect the external drive and OS X Terminal, after the release of

  • iPhone will not be displayed in the finder

    I'm trying to move some of the photos from my phone to a file on my computer and my phone will not be displayed in the tab "currencies" in the finder. It's an iPhone 6 and it is connected through the USB port. I know this isn't an error connection because when I plug it in it costs and is trying to import my photos in the section 'photos' from my computer. I went into the settings in the finder and all turned on and it will not always be displayed. Why is this?

    Because Apple has decided that OS X is smarter than you and me. They removed this option on the latest versions of Mac OS X (my devices do not appear more, grrrr...). Try instead to use Image Capture and import or remove photos from there.

  • TOSHIIBA external hard drive will not be displayed in "My computer" (Windows 7)

    Several months ago, I bought a Toshiba external hard drive and used to back up my laptop.  I have not used since then, but needed to recover a lost file today.  Unfortunately, when I plug the external hard drive, it will not be displayed in my computer.  When I connect, I get the sound that makes Windows when connect you something.  The hard drive turns on and I can feel it running.  But it does not appear in my computer.  If I go into the Device Manager and look under ' hard drives it appears as "USB device external Toshiba 3.0."  When it is offline, it does not appear in the list of disk drives in Device Manager.

    Advice how I can get to appear in 'My Computer' so I can actually access the files?  Thank you!

  • Western Digital external hard will not be displayed in the Finder or disk utility

    So I am certainly not the most tech-savvy person ever, but I'm not completely helpless on a computer, and I'm trying to help a friend with pulling content on an old external hard drive Western Digital (product No: WDBABW0010BSL-00;) ( http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Passport-Portable-External/dp/B003DC8D8I).

    Initially, I looked in the Finder for the hard disk appears, but nothing has ever, even after 15 minutes to be connected. After that, I went my utility application of disc to see if something has shown there, but again, no luck. I made sure that the micro-usb cable works, who he was and the hard drive itself did a light which is turn on, plus you can feel physically the disc rotates inside the hull to the touch on the case itself, so I know there is be able to get on the external hard drive.

    From this point, however, I am at a loss for what to do next. I read some of the other help topics, but I have not found anything like that, but that works for me.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help!

    Have you tried this WD drive in another Mac with the same results?

    How old is the drive?

    I know that I had a problem once with a WD drive that had this type of behavior, and I could not use any utility software disc 3rd party on it to retrieve files or disk to repartition/format utility there. The drive is running but not visible anywhere on any Mac. My situation is that the drive had nothing of value to this topic, I used a top hammer so that nobody else could get something on it when I threw it in the trash.

    < re-titled by host >

    I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

    Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

    How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

    IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

    I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

    IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

    What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

  • Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD

    I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version.  The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD.  Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything.  I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem.  I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2.  Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way?  Any suggestions?

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  • A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.

    A single hard drive will not be shared on network.  All other players share very well.  Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines.  The drive is on a windows machine 7.   I checked all the settings.  Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup.  It's just 1 road.  The other 5 on this computer share very well.

    Hey Timmy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

  • Distiller 4.0 will not be displayed in the topic of my printer (XP)

    Hello

    This isn't the right forum, but I couldn't find one that applied because I use XP and my system and SW is old but still works fine.

    I was deleting unnecessary files and deleted adobe pagemaker 6.5 which unbeknowst me deleted Adobe Distiller 4.0 that came with it.

    I love Adobe Distiller 4.0 because I can make a .pdf of what either.  I often use it to make a PDF on a Word, Excel, and even Web pages.

    I reloaded it, but it will not be displayed in the printers section.  Basically, I go to print something and choose the option to distil instead of my printer and it would create the .pdf.

    I was wondering if someone could help.  I don't really like to download any free .pdf decision-makers because I really liked how distillation works.

    Thank you.

    Paula

    To clarify a bit for you (I don't know which Acrobat Distiller 4 was designed for, but probably 4 or 5). At that time, there were 2 distillers that caused confusion. One was the printer driver that you are talking about and the other was in the program. The print driver was actually Setup to run Distiller in the background, where the name of the driver. In current versions, the driver was renamed the Adobe PDF printer. This may have been distributed as part of package PM that you had, but I don't think he was probably part of the packaging itself, but an add on. You should seek an additional part of the distribution to install. In addition, you also probably have Acrobat Distiller installed program and be available in another program in your system.

    When properly installed, you should have, the pilot program of printing and AcroTray.exe running in the background. (Listed under Acrobat Assistant a few announcements at the beginning of the program) is a program that runs in the background to allow the print driver send print file (.ps file) to send to distill the PDF creation to complete. All three should be there. You can check if you have an Acro... or such driver in the System32 folder. That would be your printer driver is needed.

  • My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is

    My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.

    Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

  • Pavilion p6610f Desktop Hard Drive will not be reset to zero when you restart

    HP Pavilion p6610f than Desktop PC Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit HDD (I think) could not restart. There was no indication of a problem before me by clicking on the button restart. I have this sometimes just to clarify things, looks like things work better. When it restarted, it went to a screen with 2 choices 'launch start repair or load normally. I chose startup repair. He loaded some files & drivers but finally comes to the screen 'blue '. I tried to start the computer with all the 'F' keys, none worked, always came back to the blue screen. Tried to start the recovery discs I did, same thing. I started with the ERD that I did it. Same thing. Would not not even go to Safe Mode. Nothing. But, there is no prior problems. Nothing made me think that I should do something to deal with a disaster. Then a "friend of a friend" came and replaced the hard 'for free' drive and installed windows 8 (which I hate) and now the computer makes a ticking noise and a sound plaintive, as when there is a bad DVD in the drive, it work so now slow, freezes, takes internet forever and made so much noise I think it's going to explode. I think I should replace the hard drive with the "right" and then use my recovery disks. He said that windows 8 was just too big of an OS for the hard drive, it took, that is why it is slow. But couldn't I erase or reformat the hard disk, and then use my recovery disks. As it is, I have no HP software on the computer more.  Is there a way to get the data from my old hard drive? I'm willing to take the time to learn how to do all this by myself if I knew that this is possible and if it is useful? [edited font color and characters]

    Hello Ty965,

    I understand that you fell on some hard drive problems and a friend of a friend installed a former player for you and since he turned slowly and noisily. Personally, I recommend that you buy a new hard drive and then review and follow the instructions on the HP Support document: performing a recovery of HP (Windows 7) system, which will guide you through the recovery process and get your computer back operational.

    If you don't have the recovery discs for your computer you can buy them for a cheap price of HP Media software and the drivercommand.

    I hope that I have addressed the issue to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
