"clean install" does not recognize my USB

I have created a bootable USB drive following the instructions posted here. I have even booted from this USB drive with ML.
However, when I go to do a "clean install" with the "option" key, the system does not bring up the USB....only the hard drive and recovery drive.
Any ideas? Thanks.
2007 IMac, 6gig memory.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
diskutil list
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window.

  • Does not recognize bootable usb

    My HP laptop does not recognize some bootable usb devices in the boot menu.
    I have a HP tower and the laptop in my office and the tower will recognize and boot the a USB device that the laptop will not recognize in the boot menu.
    Laptop: HP Pavilion dm1z-4100, BIOS HP vF.19 2/4/2013, Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    Tower: HP HPE-480t, BIOS American Megatrends v6.10 9/16/2010, Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    Example of non recognized device in laptop (OK in tower): USB HDD WD60 OUE-22 HCTO
    The external HDD reacts the same as some memory sticks. All the boot devices appear to be syslinux bootable
    I have never found a non recognized bootable device in the tower PC boot menu, but several in the laptop PC.
    No problem with laptop using external CD/DVD drive
    The problem appears to be in the BIOS, because the boot menu occurs prior to the operating system.
    Latest BIOS listed in the updates is F.19 (same as installed)
    Any comments?

  • Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD

    Hi all,
    I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
    I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
    1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
    2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
    3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    --T

    It is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
    It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
    It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).
    So you're in Japan too?

  • Safari 4.03 won't install -does not recognize 10.6 was installed

    I installed Snow Leopard and then tried to update Safari. The install utility does not recognize I installed 10.6. The error message: "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS 10.5.8 or newer".

    Hi,
    You need to install Safari from the SL disk.
    Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the apps you want to install and click Continue.
    After any installations, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Safari runs in 32-bit mode.

  • MBP Does Not Recognize External USB Devices

    MBP does not "see" external USB devices (such as Garmin Nuvi GPS) or any thumb drive. No external USB devices show up in Finder nor does Disk Utility see them. No cable issues. Have tried restarting several times, but to no avail. This MBP used to recognize these USB devices, but no longer do so.
    I have seen this question posed several times in forum, but no suitable answer. Don't know if it is H/W or S/W problem.

    Hi Terry Temple
    Is there at least any power going to the USB ports? ( as in if for example you plug in a USB light, will it switch on? )
    If there is power in the USB ports it might be a software problem.
    Try resetting the SMC see link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    also try re-set the PRAM see link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    However if you do not have any power at all it probably is a hardware problem.
    Is it still under warranty?
    Regards,
    Andrew

  • Itunes and computer does not recognize Ipod USB connection

    First off, I know this has been discussed over and over, but I am not getting any difinative answers so, I will start a new post. I have a Ipod mini and have had it for some time without any problems. Recently I added new music to Itunes and wanted to transfer it to my Ipod, but when I connect the USB cable it does will light up the screen to let me know that it has been connected, but it will not update the ipod and itunes will not recognize it and only a few times has it even charged the battery. I have tried to update itunes, update ipod (which didn't do any good since it is not being recognized), restored my ipod with play/menu, tried different usb outlets, and today I am going to get my sister's cable and try it. What am I doing wrong?!?!?!? I am going crazy about this. Thanks for any other suggestions.

    Finally, I got it to work again. This is what I did. I doubt this is what changed anything but I reset all of my settings back to factory settings on the Ipod as far as backlight, shuffle, ect. I don't think this is what helped, but who knows with these things. Then I plugged it into the computer and it did show that it was charging (usually it did not even recognize enough to charge). Then I tried a different USB cable from my sister's Ipod and the first thing it did was ask to update Ipod and I did (I had to to plug it in to the wall to complete update) then I plugged it back in my computer and it finally worked! My husband thought I was an idiot because I was cheering every time it recognized something until I was basically jumping up and down when everything was updated. For now everything is back to normal so I love my Ipod again. Although my sister will get my old USB cable back seeing that she dropped her Ipod in water and hers does not work at all. Which reminds me to start another post about that. Thanks for all the support.

  • I have an iMac in which I installed a virtual machine to run some MS applications including MS Money. in virtual machine mode the computer does not recognize the USB pen which contains my MS money back up and therefore I can't import the data to the iMac.

    What should I do?

    What virtualization app do you use ?
    Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox ?
    For Parallels: choose Preferences form the Parallels Desktop menu -> then USB and set it to your liking.
    For the other two it should be a similar procedure (don't use them myself).

  • Mavericks Install Does not Recognize My HD Configuration

    After download when the install program asks me to select a disk to install Mavericks I select my Mac HD but I get an error message which says that the disk must be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  The message continues that I must go to Disk Utility to turn on Journalling.  However, when I open Disk Utility the program says that my Mac HD is already set to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  I have downloaded and attempted to install OS X Mavericks twice now (the second time after a restart) with the same results.  Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    I had some of the same issues your having, deleted the printer from Printer and Scanner in System Preference.
    What I ended up doing was connecting the printer with a USB cable like it was a new set up, down loaded the drivers from Apple, still did not seem to work, but did a coupel of restarts and the printer was found then I completed the set up.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • PC does not recognize Ipod nano G3

    My Ipod is not being recognized by Itunes. Neither is my sister's Ipod nano. My brother's Ipod classic DOES work, however. What should I do?

    I had the same problem. Now I have many new ones. Here goes the chain of events 1st iPod did the same exact thing:
    1. Was going along my marry way listening to music
    2. Music stops playing
    3. I look to find my iPod cycling throughe very song but playing none... for an hour.
    4. I turn it off.
    5. I get home to attempt to restore it but when I plug it up to the computer, it is not recognized, cannot mount, ect.
    6. I continue trying to find a way, then it stops going to the "Do Not Disconnect" screen.
    7. Well I try it later on today, like 20 mins ago and it does it! Yay! but then it resets itself and it now rests on the apple logo and Windows does not recognize the USB device.
    Oh yeah, did I mention I made the trade and got this one SATURDAY. Yeah so it's already broken.
    any suggestions?
