  • My new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible

    my new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible
    i'tried several usb flash drives even brand new ones, they are visible onder hardware info but they are not on the desktop nor in the finder.
    what is wrong and doe anyone has a solution ?

    It does not show up in disk utility, its only visible through systeminformation.
    When you plug in the USB flash drive and then refresh systeminformation it becomes visible.
    To remove it I shut down the computer because I cannot eject the USB device anywhere.
    After starting up again when I have removed the flash drive it has gone from the systeminfo USB list.
    By the way my USB mouse and keyboard are working fine, I also changed ports of these and they still keep on working so I don't think the USB ports are defect.
    I guess it some kind software problem, and because I'm new to Apple I do not know much about it how to solve this.

  • AirPort Extreme Does Not See USB Drive

    I've had no luck getting my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) to see a USB hard drive. Using a WD MyBook, there's simply no response from the AirPort. Is there some trick to getting the AirPort to see the drive? Clearly this product isn't working as described! There's no mention in any of the marketing materials of needing to do anything but plug in the drive to the USB port.

    This whole 'mount USB drive' feature appears to be VERY problematic. I cannot get the drive attached to my Airport Extreme to be visible to the iBook which runs its net connection thru the AE unit.
    Has anyone submitted a bug to developer.apple.com?
    If you have not - it is possible to acquire a free developer's account - just fill out the forms - and then you can add your voice to the chorus of bugs posted - which is WAY more likely to get attention by Apple engineers than just posting on this forum.
    If anyone has any news about how to systematically solve this problem, please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Time Machine will not see USB drive attaced to AEBS

    I am having some difficulty getting Time Machine to see a USB attached Lacie drive. I can get it to mount through the finder, but Time Machine will not see it. It also works fine through a direct firewire connection. I have all of the current updates. Any help is appreciated.

    have you tried formatting the drive, by selecting the disk or volume and using extended (journal). If the drive use to be a PC drive, you need to also give it a new index table. To give it a new table, you got to go to the partition section and use the option button. There will be 3 types, the GUID table is for intel macs, the 2nd selection is for PPC macs, and the third is for Window/Dos. You want to use to GUID table. After the table is set, format the disk using extended (journal).

  • Windows 8.1 not seeing USB drive on router

    hi
    if use windows 7 i can acess my router usb drive but when use windows 8.1 cannot see it
    but if i do that
    Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy
    Local Policies - Security Options
    Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
    Set to Send LM & NTLM responses only
    Set the Minimum session security for NTLM SSP

    Reboot all machines after making the adjustment.
    it appears for sometime and even acess it to but disappear later any help
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, I check this setting in my system, it shows "Modifying this setting may affect compatibility with clients, services, and applications". I think your problem most probably caused by driver compatibility problem, it would be
    better to check USB router driver edition, also check its official site if there dirver compatible with Windows 8.1.

  • New Airport Extreme (2014) does not see USB Drive

    Just fired up my new 2014 Airport Extreme and attached a Toshiba 3 TB USB Drive. My new (late 2013 iMac) does not see the new drive in Disk Utility.
    The Extreme works in all other ways; ie, as a router, as a wireless node.
    It came to me formated as a Windows drive, so I attached it directly to my MacBook Pro (which saw the drive) and reformated it as a Mac Drive (Journaled, GUILD). It showed up just fine on the MacBook Pro desktop.
    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    Help Please

    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    That drive will not show up in Disk Utility on the Mac.....since the Toshiba hard drive becomes a network drive when it is attached the AirPort Extreme.
    Disk Utility will not display a network drive. It will only display drives that are connected directly to your iMac via USB, FireWire, etc.
    Check using AirPort Utility to see if the AirPort Exteme recognizes the drive.
    Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window that appears
    The drive will appear here if it is recognized by the AirPort Extreme.
    In the example below, my WD Drive is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • Can not see wireless TM in disk utility or desktop.

    Am I running a TM Airport (router) it runs great, I love everything about it and the backups have no issues.
    But I wanted to partition my 500mb drive on my TM yet for some reason I can not see the drive either on my desktop or in disk utility. Is there some setting I need to change somewhere else to be able to view this wireless drive and configure it? I looked via Airport Utility and the only option there is to archive or erase it, at least that can see it.
    When the backup starts I do see a mounted drive show up.
    Any ideas?

    It does not show up because when I am not backing up, it gets disconnected...

  • I can not see my Seagate Extreme driver attached to the Airport from XP

    I have a Seagate drive connected to the Airport USB port. I can see the drive from the Airport Utility but I can't even see it in XP.
    I have tried mapping a drive \\10.0.1.1\Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342 (and lots of variations)
    and I have tried \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Any ideas?

    What model airport with what firmware??
    Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342
    This is not a valid network name. Please change the share name of the seagate disk to something simple.. like seagate.
    \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Do you have airport utility for windows installed.. this will make life much easier.
    Are you using wireless?? Do you have internet via the AE?
    In windows explorer type the address as you did in run.. if it doesn't connect are you sure you have the IP correct?
    Please ping it from the command window.
    If it responds to pings but you still cannot open it.. Airport utility can open the AE, then the firewall is set .. turn off all the firewalls.
    What format do you have on the disk? Can you see the drive and access it from a Mac??

  • Can not see TC hard driver using istat pro or activity monitor

    I upgraded the firmware of TC to 7.4.1 yesterday, but I found the transfer speed was too slow and I noticed that I can not see the TC condition using istat pro or activity monitor. So I downgraded the firmware to 7.3.2. Now the transfer speed is fine but I still can not see the TC hard driver in the istat pro or activity monitor.(but I can access files in the TC hard driver normally)
    Can anyone help?

    I couldn't see my TC hard drive in iStat pro until I actually mounted the TC's Airport Disk using the Finder 'Connect to server' dialog. iStat Pro only gives me Used and Free GB for my Airport Disk. My TC is an old 500GB upgraded to 1TB running 7.4.2 firmware.
    As to checking the temperature, I'd be interested too. I have a digital thermometer taped to the top surface of the TC and it is reading 46C with an ambient of 17C. The TC sits on top of a cupboard with clear space around, and I am resting it on a spacer which lifts it 12mm clear of the cupboard to give it the best ventilation. The TC has been doing a long (08:00 - 21:00) Time Machine backup today.

  • I can not see my external hard drive that is hooked to my airport extreme

    I have hooked my iOmega 1tb hard drive to my airport extreme but can not see it on my macbook pro. need help to set this up

    This is unsupported by Apple. You must configure Airport Utility to turn enable File Sharing of the drive in Sharing preferences and in the AEBS configuration. Then you have to "mount" the drive on your Desktop by selecting Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu.

  • P55A-GD65 Can not see Sata III drive

    I can not get the bios to see my 250gig sata III. I have it connected to sata#7 white connector.
    I tried to first see it, no go. I am trying to fresh install w7 hp upgrade 64bit to my new sata III drive. I can not find the drive. I do not know if it is bad or what?
    I set Integrated peripherals- sata 6g/s controller mode to ahci, and in on-chip ata devices raid mode set it to ahci. I tried to install w7 from disc. It just Says I have made a hardware change. Try to do a repair start or start as normal. Then said my boot sector was messed up. I pressed  reset and got into bios and set it all back to ide mode.
    It would not start normal. But from page it says try w7 disc etc. I told it to start windows normally it did, I have rebooted So I guess it fixed the boot sector..
    I am not sure what to do. I can not find the drive, and no place in my bios can I find the sata 7-8 connectors. they are listed as 1-6 and 9.. everything skips 7-8. I am in w7 now. I could do the reg tweak. I want to fresh install w7 upgrade on my new sata III drive. then nuke this sata II and make it a storage drive..
    Maybe I need to press a key with w7 disc in  during restart. I can not figure out how to make Let me reinstall w7. I did press F6 but I did not know what to do. Upgrading from xp was pretty easy. This sata III and  mobo and w7 is a head ake. It is no simple instructions no place to make this stuff work right. Ha ha the manual is no help either.
    I do not know if maybe the drive is bad or not. I never had to do this stuff in bios just to install a drive, and then controllers 7-8 show no place. I do not know what to do..

    Follow up.
    My cam batteries are acting up. Sorry not better photo'. The second photo. I changed out my speakers set up etc, and its photo was with our cam corder, it has no flash.. The top 5.25 bay filter is a test. I need better materials to make a better 1, but it works well, not so pretty tho. If I relax the pantyhose, It looks a lot better, is black. You can not see through it, but less air flow...
    The blower box mod I made from a gutted opt drive, uses the rest of the 5.25 bay cage as the lower sides of the box. The top side, the actual gutted opt drive, I used my zig saw, cut along the sides from the top and back end. So it was free to bend down. You can not see from the photo, but it is down just above the top of the mobo tray, and extends out past the back side of the 5.25 cage. With both downward blowing air and is more compressed or moves faster because the top is bent down etc. I cut off the access on the side so not to go past the 5.25 cage. Made a face plate to mount the fan [can crank 103 cfm] to the other end of the gutted opti. It is easy in out, uses my normal case mounting gear, and is flush with the front of the case. The filter and or front cover are separate. I need to make a better filter frame. But it works. I like it for now.. My twin p160 case has the same set up, but using a 80mm face plate and fan, and being a normal 5.25 opti drive as it base, they can go case to case, most all cases have a 5.25 cage, so. I could use this on the lian li case below and just mount a normal fan filter right to the face plate..>>
    Build #2, my buds rig, was a snap to build. Not 1 fault in the entire build from- view reliability history. The large case was nice to work in.. Both systems running great and with AHCI support.

  • HT4528 CAN NOT SEE IPONE ON MY COMPUTER

    can not see my iphone on my computer

    Try plugging it into different USB ports. If you're plugging it into a keyboard or monitor, try plugging it directly into the box instead.
    Try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
    Since other computers see it and yours doesn't then it's likely a driver issue with your computer. You  need to try the multiple plugs, etc, to trigger that driver installation on your computer.
