160gb Classic does not show in Disk management

Hi
Ive had my 160gb ipod classic for about a year now and just recently it stopped showing up in itunes and it is not showing up in my computer. im running windows 7 64 bit. Ive looked for it every where in my computer, it does not show up in Disk management and when i plug it in windows says it does not recognize it. I ran the itunes diagnostic and it does not show the ipod being connected. When i select it through the device manager it shows it as Unknown device and in the description it just says the "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" ive never seen this before. Ive also checked the drivers, according to windows theyre fine, at least thats what it tells me when i go to update them. and when i try to acces the driver details it says no driver files are required or have been loaded for this device. Im a bit frustrated because ive been looking every where and trying everything to attempt to fix this. Any insight would be appreciated.

You could definitely try uninstalling the USB drivers and reinstalling them. If that doesn't work plug your iPod into another computer and see if it shows up. If it does problem is the PC, if not, problem is the iPod.

Ipod Classic does not show up in iTunes and will not sync

My ipod classic does not show up as a device in iTunes. It was working just a week or so ago, but each time I plug it in the screen says connected, then switches to Ejected, you can now disconnect, then says OK to disconnect and then goes to the home screen. Can someone advise me on what is going on and what I need to do to fix it! Thanks!!!

Thunderbolt WD Duo, does not show in Disk Utility

Hi Have imac 27 (late 2012) with 10.8.3 update OSX. Connecting to WD Thunderbolt Duo, the disk does not show in disk Utility, sys log or in any connection to the system. WD utility does not seems it either. Restart does not help. By disk returning to seller, the disk works fine on other comp (with the same cable, with the same power adapter)
Is there any issue known with the thunderbolt ports? Tried both all found on internet, but no resolution, to my issues.
Seems to be my imac hardware or maybee the software (thunderbotl 1.2) update.
Lukas

All thunderbolt port tried, cable exchanged, no change
I have done following procedure , no change
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

80 GB Ipod Classic does not show up in itunes or Win Vista Machine

Hi, I recently updated my itunes software with ver.8 and since then my 80 GB Classic ipod does not show up in itunes or in my computer. Hence, I am not able to sync my itunes. When I connect my ipod it just shows "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" and just freezes there. Pls help?

Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
Nick.

my serial for my 80g classic is 8K819CPKYMV and is under warranty until May 2009, i bought it in August this year.

IPod continually asks to be restored/Screen Black/Does not appear in Disk Managment

Okay, I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that was on version 4.2.1. I decided to update to an already downloaded version of 4.3.3. I Manually update by holding shift and clicking restore (I had save music and made a backup already). To do this I forced my ipod into recovery mode or DFU mode or whatever... After the restore went through, it finished and then it showed me that the iPod still needed to be restored so I restored it again. This continues on in an infinite loop of restoring. I started googling and found something about change the disk letter of your ipod in order to fix the problem of infinite looping restores but it seems that when I access Disk Managment, my iPod does not show. I had also realized that my iPod shows in iTunes as "iPod" but windows does not recognize it at all in the explorer. My ipod is around less than a year old. When I plug my ipod in, it make the connection noise. I have no idea what is going on and I've tried everything!

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

I am installing snow leopard on a new drive unformatted but it does not show the disk to install it on.? do i need to format first with one partition?

I have installed a new drive on my mac book and more ram but the snow leopard install asks which to install the system on but then does not show the drive.
do I have to partition it and name it first. -- if so just one partition?

Do this:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Optical drive does not show in device manager

Greetings,
My Pavilion DV6700 does not show the optical drive anymore. I does show as a boot option in BIOS. I have gone through all the Microsoft "fixes" without sucess. The drive spins up and the Busy light comes on when I insert a disk, but it doesn't work.
This laptop came with Vista, but has been upgraded to Win 7 32 bit. The drive did function after the upgrade, but I haven't used it for a long time.
Any suggestions on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Loren

Hi,
Could be due to the laser beam after a long time sitting idle. I think you need to clean the lenses using something like this (scroll down 1 page)

My Bookmarks toolbar does not show a Bookmarks Manager, so I can't export my bookmarks to a new computer.

I want to export my Bookmarks from Firefox on this computer to Firefox on my new computer. The Bookmarks Manager does not show on the Bookmarks toolbar. Where is it? How can I access it so I can use the export tool?
This computer is Windows Vista - my new one is Windows 7.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

XP partition does not show in startup manager

When I boot into the startup manager (hold down alt-key during boot) the XP partition does not show as boot drive. I can boot into XP only through the startup-drive preference pane. This problem is still present after the update to 10.5.2. Any solution besides reformating the drive? Thanks!

Hi Gulliver,
have a look at rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/ as a Boot-Manager alternative.

Blackberry Classic does not show read in outlook when read on device for emails

The issue is that when an email is read on blackberry it does not show read on outlook on laptop and vice versa. Any ideas?

Need to know what type of mail server you are using. If it is Outlook on Exchange then they both will sync up, ie both show read when opened. If you are using POP email then it will not sync, you will need to open your mail on both to show as read. This is not a BB issue, it;s the nature of the beast with any phone. Now if your email provider supports IMAP,then set your BB up that way and it will synce so all mailboxes look the same.

Why the OWC 960GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 does not show in Disk Utilty ?

i try to mac pro 3.1 and 4.1
and both of them can not show in Disk Utilty, but i can seen in report

Have you tried using Disk Utlitiy to format it as Mac OS Journaled. I have an OWC SSD (260 gig) installed and it showed up fine once I formatted it. I had to use it for a while as my startup disk because I was transferring stuff from my older Mac Pro. Once I did that, I changed startup disks and erased the SSD
so, in a sense it's there, but not being used now. you may want to enable TRIM as well-which might be helpful
http://www.mactrast.com/2013/11/enable-trim-ssds-os-x-mavericks/
I think there's a setting to show hard discs and internal disks, cd's and dvd's and connected servers, which I'm guessing is turned on
sorry I can't help you much more

Ipod classic does not show in itunes or my computer. Can anyone help?

I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I've had my Ipod classic 80GB for about 5 years. Yesterday for the first time, I encountered a major problem. My Ipod does not appear in either Itunes or My computer when connected by USB to my laptop.
The I pod just displays the message 'connected - eject before disconnecting'. Also my Itunes and internet explorer freezes while the I pod is connected.
I've researched the problem online all day and still no solution. Have already reset the Ipod to factory settings, performed diagnostics both on i tunes and disk mode on the ipod itself. The latter displays the information 'Reallocs 0 and Pending Sectors 2, which from my research indicates that the disk drive on the ipod itself is still ok.
Is there something I'm missing here? Or is it time to get a new Ipod classic?
Would be extemely grateful for any advice.
Thank you
Dario

- however once i reached the crutial stage of
actually switching the 'terminal services' from
disabled to manual, I get an error message on my
computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the
site gives any indication of what to do in such an
eventuality.
Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..

New SCSI drive does not appear in disk manager - what can I do?

I am working on an older HP ML350G4
It has server 2003 installed.
It has run out of memory, so I added another drive. I rebooted, and went to format it but !! not in disc manager.
I cannot find it anywhere. There's no unrecognised devices in devmgr, yet it does not sghow up in disk manager either.
Please give me some advice as to what I have done wrong/can do to get it up?

Hi VW Crank,
“I added another drive. I rebooted” are you installed the new disk then you can not found your system volume? It most possible is you need install the RAID array driver after
you install the new server.
The related HP support forum information:

MacBook Optical Drive Does Not Show in Disk Utility

Hi Everybody,
So I put a CD in my CD/DVD drive on my white 2009 Macbook and it made a funny sound. The CD did not register with the system. And when I open Disk Utility, it doesn't recognize the optical drive at all.
Is there anything I can do?
Many thanks!

Can you or did you eject the cd? Then check apple (upper left corner) about this mac/ more / serial- ata in left panel. Does it show there. Recheck disk utilities and see if it is now there. No? Restart holding down command/option/p/r/ for three chimes. Try another cd. Same? shut down and do SMC reset. Remove battery if you can and power cord hold down start button for 10 seconds. If battery is not removable hold down command/option/shift while pressing down the start button for 10 seconds. Restart and retry. If still no drive showing, the optical drive is most likely bad.
