Jump Drive does not appear in finder

Since installing Leopard none of my jump drives appear in the finder even after checking the appropriate boxes.

Thought I'd post a couple of screenshots to help - a pic is worth.....
This is the System Preferences > CD/DVD Pane which no longer appears on Macs without an optical drive (this is from my MBP with a Superdrive):
This is the iPhoto Preferences window (within iPhoto):
But, none of that applies to external optical drives because they will never show - the preferences you set will show the media, but not the drive. My external optical drive is brand new from OWC and it does not show. However, it works like a charm.
As for your RAID setup - as I said, i can't help there because I have never used it.

  • Drive does not appear in finder

    My Time Machine drive is connected but the drive itself does not appear in the device list in finder. I can set Time Machine preferences in Time Machine software but I cannot access the drive through Finder.

  • External Hard Drive does not appear in finder

    We purchased a 1 TB G Drive Q from the Apple Store. It is connected to my wife's iMac running the most current update of Leopard by 800 firewire and appears on her desktop and works flawlessly with time machine. I am connected to the same drive intermittently with my MacBookPro also running the most current update of Leopard. i connect with 400 firewire. Initially the drive would not appear in the finder. for the initial backup, i turned the hard drive off and on and then it would appear and i did the backup but now when i connect to the 400 firewire port, it still doesn't appear in the finder. i would much prefer not to need to turn my back up drive off and on each time i want to use time machine. i should also mention that when i connect any of my garmin training devices or my power meter by USB it is recognized very quickly as a device in finder. any ideas? i understand this may be one of the problems fixed with SnowLeopard. thanks.

    I am not sure what you are attempting to do. I assume that you are not trying to connect two computers to the same external drive at the same time. That will definitely be problematic. In order to effectively use Time Machine with two Macs, you should partition the drive into two partitions. Also make sure that the drive is using a GUID partition scheme.

  • Flash drive does not appear in Finder or on desktop

    When I plug a flash drive into my iMac, it sometimes does not show up in Finder or on the desktop (or if it shows up when I plug it in, it disappears after awhile). As a result, I am unable to eject it properly, and when I physically disconnect it a message appears telling me I removed it improperly and may have corrupted my data. Another discussion thread said to go into Finder> Preferences and choose to show CDs, DVDs and iPods on the Desktop. I had already done this, so there must be another solution. Any help?

    launch *disk utility* (in applications > utilities). if DU can see the drive, try repairing it.
    perhaps reformatting the drive for Mac (make sure the partition map scheme of the USB drive is GUID or Apple Partition Map (APM) and the volume format is Mac OS extended (journaled)) will bring it back to its senses.

  • USB 3 drive does not appear in finder (nor mount?) since Yosemite

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro and some Seagate and Western Digital external 2.5 USB3 HDD.
    In mavericks, everything worked fine.
    I have just installed Yosemite, and my USB3 HDD won't appear in the finder.
    Any one knows the problem ?
    Sincerely.
    Mister N.

    Hello there, mister_n.
    It sounds like your external USB hard drives are not being recognized  after updating to Yosemite. The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations to follow for troubleshooting that issue:

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Finder & Dock do not work - Mac Hard Drive does not appear on Desktop

    Until yesterday, my powerbook was working properly.
    This morning, I wanted to use it and I had the following problems after login.
    1/ My Mac Hard drive does not appear on my dekstop
    2/ My dock appears but no icon works when I click on them. So, I can't open finder. I have no response.
    3/ Furthermore, my top bar (with clock, login name, Airport icon...) appears but it is frozed.
    I try several solutions as :
    - rebooting in safe mode,
    - rebooting, with in the same time, hold different keys (option, apple, p & R)...
    As of today, no solution works.
    Thanks for your help.

    Ok, that's good enough. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    EDIT:
    I have around 5 Go space left on my Mac
    Also, your getting very low on disk space. Try to copy some of the data off to other media. *Do it before you try applying the combo, you'll need the space.*

  • Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

    Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
    What I did so far:
    I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
    Unzipped the basic zip.
    Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
    Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
    Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
    Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
    From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
    I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
    What am I missing?

    hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

  • HT201250 i have plugged in a hard drive into my macbook, opened time machine, but my hard drive does not appear. why?

    i have plugged in a hard drive into my macbook, opened time machine, but my hard drive does not appear. why?

    Look in the Utility folder which is located inside the Applications folder.
    You don't want to do anything with the disk on a PC if you want it to work on the Mac. They both use different formats.

  • Driver does not appear in the selection tab Windows8

    NDIS protocol driver does not appear in the Selection Tab and hence I can not run any tests on it. The client operating system is Windows 8 64bit Pro Premium. I tried reinstall driver several times, reboot client and studio machines, but with no results.
    Client itself is connected to the studio and is in "Ready" state.
    There was no problem running the test on the same driver with Win7 64bit client OS.
    HCK version is 8.59.29854
    The driver is build with DDK7.1.0
    Any hints on how to debug this would be helpful.
    Dmitry

    Have you uninstalled and re-install the HCK client on the test system?  This can cause the entry on the controller to not match up with the actual client system.  If this is the case, and you have done no testing on the system (as all results will
    be lost), please try this:
    1) Uninstall the DTM client from the test system.
    2) Delete the client entry from HCK studio in the machine management section.
    3) Reinstall the DTM client on the test system.
    4) Wait for client entry appear in the "Default Pool"
    5) Change client status to "Reset", wait for it to become "Ready", and try locating the target as I describe above.

  • Epson DX5000 driver does not appear on list in'print using' box

    Epson DX5000 driver does not appear in list despite the fact that I have downloaded the software.
    When the printer is connected and I try and print I first go to 'add printer' in the print dialogue window. This takes me to the printer browser where the Epson DX5000 appears - at this starge I can't add as this option is not highlighted. Instead I have to go to 'print using' where I click on Epson - this is where the problems start as the DX is not on the very long list.

    Hi Ali
    Yes I have installed the software
    I have been using another printer so I realise that I don't need to add printer each time - this is the first time using this new printer
    After I 'add printer' I am taken to the printer browser where the RX5000 is listed (this is in the default browser mode) when I then click the RX5000 the name and location appear in the appropriate boxes but I am unable to press the 'add' button. I have to go to more printers where I then go on to look in the epson folder.
    this is where I get stuck as my printer is not listed

  • New Downloaded/Installed Cannon PPD Print Driver does not appear in driver list

    I have downloaded and installed every new driver, 5 times, including he PPD driver for the Canon imagerunner 5570 printer, however when I add the printer the PPD driver does not appear in the list of drivers. the printer is on a wireless network and I was able to print before updating.  I had not set up Time Machine until today so I can't go back, or can I.   I am a new Mac owner so please be gentle.
    Thanks

    The PPD installer will copy files to HD > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj and the file names will be "cnxxxx.pdd". Can you first check that you have all the files installed.
    If you do have the files then you can add the printer using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that the iR5570 does not support Bonjour so it won't appear in the Default view of Add Printer as Zlig suggested. You then enter the IP address of the iR5570, leave the queue name blank, change the name to something meaningful and then search for the ir5570 in the Print Using menu.
    If there are no Canon iR models listed in the Printer List (typing iR in the Search field will determine this) then you should try resetting the printing system as follows.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move the mouse over the Printers list.
    3. Hold down the Control key and then click the mouse
    4. Click on the 'Reset printing system' pop-up
    5. Close Print & Fax and restart your Mac
    This will remove all the printer queues from Print & Fax but will not remove the printer drivers installed on the Mac. So you can try adding your print queue to the iR5570 again using the process above.

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.
