Why DVDs/Hard Drives not showing up under 'Devices' in Finder

Hi,
I do not see anything in the 'Devices' section of the Finder. If I used iTunes, I can see the contents of the DVD. Any advice?
Thanks.

Hi n,
Click on the desktop > Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar > choose which items you want to show up in the Sidebar.

  • Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?

    Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?
    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.

    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.
    I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
    You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

  • My external hard drive not showing up

    Hello,
    My external hard drive is not showing up on my desktop. I went to finder & preferences>general and made sure I checked "show these items" and checked hard drives. I even unchecked it because I have 2 other external hard drives. When I checked the hard drive box the other 2 hard drives appeared but the third hard drive did not. The hard drive not showing up on my desk top does show up when I double click my system hard drive & can be opened from there, but I want to see it on my desk top. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 3rd generation nano iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes anymore??

    When I plug in my 3rd generation iPod nano to my mac OS x 10.7.3 and open iTunes it does not show up under devices anymore.  Why and how can I fix this so I can start transferring my songs again?
    Thank you!!!!!!!
    I have tried every USB port.
    I am also running an iPad 1 off of this computer.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

  • Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

    Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

    Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
    If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
    Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

  • ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

    I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

  • TS1425 it won't disconnect   it says connected but is not showing up under devices in ITunes

    I'm not a Mac user, but do one of the following:
    > Restart your mac.
    > uninstall & reinstall iTunes
    > reset your iPod (if possible)
    > make sure iTunes is up to date.
    This is what I really know, I don't use a mac. If this doesn't help, then sorry.

  • IMac Bluetooth keyboard not showing up under devices in my iPad

    Even after I remove it from my list of iMac devices, if I touch a key on the keyboard, it reconnects to the iMac.  So after I removed it from the devices on my iMac, I shut the iMac off to see if I could get it to work with my iPad (first generation) and it doesn't show up under bluetooth devices on my iPad.  I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, or is it not possible to do this?  I even paired (and unpaired) my iPad to my iMac.  I followed all the directions to unpair/disconnect my keyboard from the iMac, but I still cannot get my iPad to find the keyboard under bluetooth devices.

  • IPhone does not show up under devices on my hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. At one time, my iPhone did show up under devices on my hard drive until I did something really stupid and deleted it.  It has never shown up since.  Any help out there?  (It shows up in iTunes just fine.)

    Is your iPhone fully charged? If not, it will not upload to PhotoStream, to save energy.

  • External Hard Drive/Not Showing Up on Desktop

    I have a G4, running OS X 10.2.8 and recently my kids deleted some important data. So--we bought an external hard drive (WD MyBook 160 GB Essential Edition, which says on the box that it runs 10.2.8 and higher).
    We took the external hard drive and the computer to a reputable repair place, the guy there took the hard drive out and using a G6 system, restored what he could to the external hard drive.
    We bring it home, plug it in, and the computer is not reading the new external hard drive. I did check in disk utility, and it shows up as a greyed out item on the disk utility.
    The external hard drive does show up when hooked up to my husband's office PC.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to correct it?
    Thanks, Ruth

    OK, I figured it out (in case anyone else needs to know) with this information from the Western Digital site:
    Macintosh Operating System 10.3.x or earlier will only recognize FAT32 partitions that are smaller than 128-gigabytes. Multiple FAT32 partitions smaller than 128-gigabytes will need to be created in order for Macintosh Operating System 10.3.x or earlier to recognize the partitions. You will need to use a Windows based computer to create FAT32 partitions, as Macintosh does not have the ability to create them.
    Macintosh Operating System 10.4.x or later can recognize FAT32 partitions over 128-gigabytes.

  • USB Hard Drive not showing up in AirPort Utility

    I have been using this AirPort Extreme for over two years now and it's been working fine. I finally decided to buy a self-powered USB hard drive so I can share it over the network. However, after I unpacked the hard drive, connected it to my Mac and reformatted it to HFS+ Journaled and GUID. I plugged the hard drive into my AirPort Extreme's USB port and waited. I looked in my AirPort Utility and saw nothing in the disk list.
    I spent hours searching online and discovered that I am not alone in this problem, although solutions are rare. I did try one solution where I hooked up the USB hard drive to a powered USB hub and the hub into AirPort Extreme. It actually worked once and after I rebooted everything, even though the hard drive still showed up in the disk list, no computers can connect to it. Although if I connect the hard drive directly to a Mac, it would still work perfectly.
    Having a USB hub is not a long term solution not that it's working anymore anyway. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have, thanks!

    So far my experience is far from "Just connect the external hard drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and — voilà".
