• 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.

• External hard drive does not work properly

  Hi all

  It is a slightly different external HARD drive problem.  I had my faithful media ATMT bin since my first laptop with XP (2003) and I bought it in 2005.  It's a little wobbly as the fan vibrates a lot, but this isn't a problem.  What is the problem, is that I have a windows machine 7 who thinks that drive a need to put in shape, but my previous laptop which has vista on it was absolutely no problem to read the files IN ALL and you can open one of them without a hitch.  I tried to run CHKDSK I:\I (it is labeled as the I drive :) and 7 claims that it is in the format RAW.  I had a look at CHKDSK on my old machine and it is in FAT32, I since changed it to NTFS, but seems to have no effect.  I also tried the hunting of the drivers for the external hard drive, but I come only through links to Amazon as these things are always available.

  I really need to access this drive on my current computer as the older one needs a considerable cooling method to make it work therefore the latest machine.  What I also don't understand, it's that it was working absolutely fine on this machine too until quite recently.  He worked on it that I need, but have not been accessed for a while and so solutions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Your drive has reached its copy by date and it works on time taken (if he is stil)

  If this does not work on another PC then it's probably dead.

  You can try the utility disk SeaTools from Seagate to check and see if it can detect and report on the drive

• Seagate 120 GB external HARD drive could not be detected

  We use Win XP Pro, when you plug the HDD of the promt "Cypress AT2LP RC42" System. How to detect this material?

  In the Device Manager Composite Device failed to start Code: 10

  Hello

  I think it might be 2 possibilities, why it does not work.
  First the external drive is dead and that is why it does not work or there is something wrong with the USB ports.
  Sometimes after installing SP2, the ports will not work.

  For this, I found this Microsoft Knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=873169

  I think you should try to connect this USB HDD on another computer, make sure that the HARD drive is not altered.

  My brother uses a with USB cable external HARD disk that supports 2 USB connectors.
  This cable allows you to use the USB ports and dual power.
  I think that's not a bad idea, try using a USB hub with an external power supply and then connect the HDD to this hub.

  Eventually, it helps.

• External hard drive does not allow me to backup large video files

  Hi - I wonder if anyone can tell me why the Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 "external hard drive I recently bought does not allow me to backup large video files from my PC.
  The files are located in the region of 5 to 10 GB and when I try to save these I get the message that they are too big for the destination.

  Do you want to just copy/move these files from your PC to the external HARD drive?

• "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?

• external hard drive does not appear

  I have a WDC32 external hard drive that I have used before.  It appears in the device mgr under the disk drive.  It does not appear in any drive computer.  I tried the 2 front (UBS) and 1 in the back and no change.  Bishop says peripheral device works very well and the latest version of the driver software is installed...

  I suggest that you check in Disk Manager if the drive is detected and more later assign the drive letter, check if it works.

  Change, add, or remove a drive letter

• Library of photos on external hard drive does not open

  So, I recently backed up my 2012 macbook pro on an external hard drive using time machine and wiped the computer. The hard drive shows that my old hard drive was saved (there ~ used 400GB the 1 TB), however when I try to open my photo library, it tells me that files cannot be saved? I was wondering if there's another way to open these files in addition to using pictures? the file says it's big 235 GB so I know that my photos and videos are out there. If someone could help me that would be great! The last 5 years of my life are in this file. (,:

  You cannot open a Time Machine backup of the library directly. You must first restore somewhere.

  Time Machine is a backup tool, not a tool for archiving. It gives you a window of time retrieve data that has been lost in the backup source. You can't count on it to keep the files you want to keep indefinitely. All these files should be saved with the rest of your original data. The files that you delete from the source volumes will be finally removed from backups, after a variable delay which depends on your usage model and the size of the backup volume.

• TOSHIBA external hard drive does not work with Mac

  Finally, I used my Toshiba external hard drive on my MacBook Pro in December. I want to keep all my photos, and I've always been able to add new photos to it and delete the 'old' out of it. I plugged it today to add more photos, and it is not letting me. I went to the sharing & preferences and he read that when he used to say, read and write. I went to the info, and I noticed, it says that the format is Windows. Why he did change and why can't I use it? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance

  Looks like you have formatted the NTFS drive that is read-only for OS X. Copy data to another drive, then partition and format the drive correctly for use on a Mac.

• Hitachi external hard drive does not work on Sony with windows vista

  I use a Sony with Windows vista laptop. I just got a 500 GB Hitachi external hard drive today.

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• Toshiba Canvio external hard drive does not.

  When I plug in my phone via USB, my computer (under Windows 7 Home) install the driver, but I cannot access the device. In Device Manager, it shows the hard drive, but is not a letter assigned, or he let me to assign a letter. I tried to plug it into the other USB ports, uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, unstalling the USB port and reinstall. When I connect the hard drive to my dish DVR, DVR recognizes. When I connect the device to my computer, it will be ding, but just not let my y access or modify anything on the hard drive.

When I connect the device to my computer, it will be ding, but just not let my y access or modify anything on the hard drive.

  This is because it is formatted with some file systems that includes your DVR.

  Don't forget when you the connected to the dish DVR?  It probably went something like this:

  Step 1

  Connect the external hard drive to a source of electrical energy.

  Step 2

  Turn on the TV RECORDER and flat.

  Step 3

  Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on the back of the RECORDER from dish. Plug the other end of this cable into the USB port on the external hard drive. The DVR will recognize the new device and displays a message on the TV screen showing "USB storage must be reformatted to support the functionality of Dish Network."

  See that last part?  * Poof * will computer compatibility no doubt some additional efforts.  This isn't a Microsoft, Windows7, question etc.

  Since I think you think you have found an easy way to record TV shows and get them on the computer - here's the bad news...

• Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

  I've had this drive for about a month.

  I am on Windows 7

  I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

  If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

  I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

  I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

  I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

  Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

  I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

• Passport external hard drive does not work

  I dropped my external hard drive USB plug (WD Passport).  I can't open it to access my files at all (many of them that I need for work). Its icon appears in the Device Manager and it evven shows that it works correctly.  I can do at home before I have send off by the Geek Squad for $250?  I heard a horror story already that turned into $ 1600 to $ 250.  I can't afford this.  Help, please.

  Two points:

  1. If you dropped out, it's probably broken, and you will be unable to
  do something with. Next time, make sure that you have a backup on another medium
  files that interest you.

  2. If you decide to take it somewhere to the service, avoiding the Geek
