Can't see usb-stick in Finder

So I connect my usb-stick, which is also an mp3-player with SD slot, and it doesn't pop up in the finder of Leopard.
Its formatted in FAT32 and I CAN use it (read/write) with Tiger (10.4.10) and XP (VMWare Fusion), SD-slot function is working perfectly too. Other usb-sticks do not have this problem on my mbp with Leopard (10.5.1).
I admit its a very cheap-*** one, but why does Tiger see it and Leopard not
Also I CAN see the stick in System Profile, and I do not get an error while I just pull it out of the usb-port (since I cannot eject it).
Any solutions?

Can't see external disks on Finder

I can't see my external Storage (whether it be TimeMachine hard drive, USB sticks) in Finder (side bar). I see them in Disk Utility. I see them if I open "/Volumes/" but that's not really convenient. External Disks are enabled in sidebar.
Please see attached pictures for details
My system is also very slow. Would you recommend a clean install ?
And Yes

Move the mouse to the right of "Appareil" in the Finder sidebar. The option "show" should appear. Click on it.. et voilà! The disks are back!!!
Also a clean install did help me improving some perfomances. You may want to try Onyx first, and clean all caches. Don't forget to do a "repair permission" with Disk Utility or Onyx (it should be the same) before nything else.

I want to transfer a movie file onto my camera but can't see my camera on Finder. Any other way I can do this ?

Hey,

Thank you

Yes the camera is on and the USB port works well. The camera appears only on Photos or Iphoto where I can not add files to the SD card, Can't see it on Finder though

I can't see .NEF files in finder from mi NIkon D7100. Helllp !!!!!

I can't see .NEF files in finder from mi NIkon D7100. Helllp !!!!!
I can open NEF files in Camera Raw but Im not seeing tumbs in finder !
Also I cant see them in preview too.

Well, I don't know what the problem actually is in the first place, it should work as is, I think something is messed up with the present driver and replacing it would perhaps get around that problem.
It seems like I'd be adding one more layer of complexity to the Vista machine...
Not sure how the Vista machine is involved in this, since these are drivers for the Mac.
Though to involve the Vista Machine, One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive can run from usb stick?

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive can run from usb stick[no install]?

Your questions are easily answered by means of a web search, which you can do as well as I can. You can order a Lion installer on a USB stick. I don't know how big it is, and it doesn't matter, because all you can do with that stick is install Lion, which is what you don't seem to want. If you have a Mac and want to be able to run Lion from an external storage device, the capacity of the device has to be at least 7 GB.
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
I hope you understand that if you buy the Lion USB installer with the intention of installing onto a PC, or running Lion on a PC without installing, you'll be wasting your money. It won't work.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Those tags are not shown in the Finder.

Can't see USB disk attached to other mac

I have an Airport Express, on the network is a Mac Mini which has an USB disk attached to it (to the Mac Mini).
However, I can't see the disk from any other mac that uses the Airport (this used to work)
I've looked for "disk sharing" in Preferences and in the Airport Setup Utility, but couldn't find anything.
I've also made the Sharing & Permissions of the USB disk for "Me" and "Everyone" as " Read & Write"
Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Awfers

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
For File Sharing: System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
o Make sure that the folders on your external hard drive, that you want shared, are selected in the Shared Folders window.
o Make sure that you have, at least, Everyone = Read Only set in the Users window.
o Select Options..., and then, verify that you have "Share files and folders using AFP" is enabled for Mac clients, and "Share files and folders using SMB" is enabled for Windows clients.
For the OS X Firewall: System Preferences > Security > Firewall
o If "Allow all incoming connections" is enabled, verify that: "File Sharing (AFP, SMB)" is now displayed in the list.

System Image Restore can't see USB hard drive

Hi
I've just spent a day taking System Image backup images of three different hard drives. Well ok I didn't just sit and watch the bar move across the screen although it did hold up my computer. Anyway, what a waste of a day from my PC because
when I try to restore using System Image backup from my USB drive, the USB drive cannot be found. I have followed the procedure on page 750 of Configuring Windows 7, 70-680 precisely. I tried booting from an OS DVD and a Windows Repair
DVD, but no USB drive. I tried using a blank usb stick and that can't be found either. The USB drive can be seen when I logon to Windows to get the images on it. Might this be more to do with hardware such as adjusting BIOS boot settings,
or updating BIOS firmware. There seems to be others with unresolved problems like this. Should I join them and buy Acronis instead?

Thanks for sending me these links and I will check them out. I think I came across most of the answer on the following link although doubts are raised:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-restore-from-image-wont-recognize/ce8e3d0a-236d-4eff-8370-c171d2dfa555?tm=1333929198413&page=1#footer
Basically, I should have had three files on the external drive as follows:
a.      A file named: MediaID.bin
b.      A file that has the same named as your computer name (this is where the .zip files are located).
c.      The 'System Image' folder named 'WindowsImageBackup'.
By moving my backups into a folder out of the way and doing a fresh backup I prevented some confusion in the system. After this I could at last see the external drive and backup when doing a system image recovery. But how is
it be possible to store more than one backup of hard drives on an external disk? The only way I know is by moving backups in and out of a folder which will take ages to do. Maybe I can rename the unused backups but this will get confusing
because there are thee files to a backup and I think files are overwritten when doing backups if left in the route of the external drive. I is too easy to overwrite a backup of another drive by accident.

Can't see erased drive in Finder

I erased my seagate drive using disk utility and now I can't see it in finder. I was using the seagate as the backup drive in Time Machine, but I wanted to start over so I could add another external to drive to the backup process. What do I need to do to be able to see it again? ThanksErased

Disk images will not solve your problem, they are not related at all.
100MB seems TINY for any modern disk! That isn't right.
Tim is correct that the disk may need repairing. Shutdown the Mac. Poweroff the disk and check your connections are all good.
Power up and go back to Disk Utility. Do you see the disk? It's possible you erased the partition, in which case you will not see a disk on the Desktop but you should see the external disk in the sidebar of Disk Utility.
Is this a USB or Firewire disk? These should show an orange icon in Disk Utility. If it isn't there poweroff the disk & try other USB ports & leads if possible.
If you are unsure take a screenshot of Disk Utility & post it here. It's cmd+shift+4 then drag the crosshairs over the window to select the area. It appears on your Desktop, the camera icon will allow you to add images here (on a desktop browser).

Can't see USB hd connected to airport extreme w/ iPad

Plugged external hd in airport extreme but can not see using IPad .I have downloaded app for airport & can find airport but does not show hard drive. How can I access files on external hard drive?

Unfortunately you can only access hard drives plugged in airport extreme or time capsule, from a Mac or a PC. iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) do not support this feature.

Windows 7 can't see USB disk (WD Passport) on Airport Extreme

I am needing some help. I just bought an Airport Extreme and everything is working but I can't see my files on the USB external drive from the Airport Extreme. I can see the drive inside of the Airport Utility but not over the network on my laptop.
My laptop is Windows 7.
I read somewhere that I may need to reformat my WD Passport but how do I do that in windows 7 and will I lose my files on the drive if I do this?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!

There are a number of posts related to issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
On the AEBS, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Can't see Computers/Servers in Finder on local ip network

I'm trying to share some files between by Powerbook and iMac.
Both are running Tiger.
Both are configured with IP on the same subnet and can ping each other
Both are using wifi as their network interface
Both can get to the internet, iMac, iDisk fine...
I turned on sharing on both systems.
When I go to finder and browse under Network i can only see my local machine.
This is true on both systems..
Any ideas about how to fix or troubleshoot?

Rebooting usually makes the machines show up in rhe network browser.
The reliable way, of course, is to connect using Finder's "Connect to server" window. The address you enter looks like this:
afp://Clamshell.local
Once you type it in you can save them in a list. It's very professional. You can also remount servers using the "Recent Items" list in the Apple menu, but if the server is not online it makes your Finder spin wheels for a few minutes.
Agonizing.
