Cd/dvd device not recognized after os lion upgrade

my cd/dvd drive no longer shows up on the device list in Finder. I think it disappeared after OS lion upgrade...I need help fixing this situation.

Check you settings in Finder > preferences > Sidebar tab > check "CD's DVDs, and iPods".
Also check the General tab to display on the desktop.

External hd not recognized after 8.1 upgrade

my 3 tb seagate external is not being recognized after 8.1 upgrade. plugged in bothe sides of usb ports still no response. lights up when plugged but thats about it. Please help, thanks.

Hi
Is there any specific error message when you plug in your external HDD?
May I know when you upgrade OS to 8.1, this external HDD still attached?
So before your upgrade your OS, this external HDD working fine?
Did you try to attached your external HDD to another PC or laptop?
did you check inside device manager whether your external HDD detected?
may I know the details your external HDD spec and PC spec?
Please provide as much as information that related to this issue

DVD drive not recognized after Security update

Hello -
Well, for whatever reason I decided to apply some Apple software updates today. I repaired permissions, did a back up to an external Firewire drive with SuperDuper and downloaded several packages - iDVD 6.0.2, iMovie 6.0.2, Quicktime 7.1, iPhoto 6.0.3, iWeb 1.1, and Security Update 2006-003. I installed the Security Update and rebooted. I had read about an issue with DVDs, so promptly inserted a DVD-R disc of mine with a movie on it (not a commercial DVD, footage I had shot on my own). It was not recognized. I restarted with the mouse button held, no luck. I repaired permissions, no change.
I restarted from the backup on the external drive and cloned the backup over to my Powerbook. The problem did not go away, there the DVD sits, unrecognized. Tried to see if DVD player would see the DVD, got a message "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]" disc burning in System profiler says no burning device was found. Tried to re-install DVD player via 4.6.1 update, got a message "Compatible DVD hardware was not detected, installation will not proceed".
Where to next? I haven't booted into open firmware to try to eject the disk that way, but one post on the discussions here somewhere had no luck. I'd really rather not erase and re-install and migrate from my back-up, but if that is all that's left, ok. Thanks for your help.
BTW, 10.4.6 ona 1.5 GHz Al PowerBook with 2GB RAM, not original RAM but Samsung from OWC. Thanks again.

Well, one thing I had not tried was to reset PRAM//NVRAM. I combined that step with shutting down, unplugging the power cord and letting it sit for 15 minutes. Reconnected power, restarted while holding cmd-option-P-R through the second start-up chime, and viola, my DVD appears on the desktop, the drive is listing in the system profiler, problem gone. Thanks all for the rapid responses.

2nd cd/dvd drive not recognized after security update 2014-002

I have a 3rd party CD/DVD drive as my 2nd drive in my Mac Pro and after installing security update 2014-002 it is not recognized by the computer. It does not even show up under "About This Mac" or as a drive in disk utility. Worked fine up until this update. Any ideas?
Thanks

I think I have solved my own problem. After 'restarting' the computer several times with no effect I turned the computer off and let it set for 15 minutes, not that I think the time period had anything to do with it, but upon turning the computer back on the 2nd CD worked fine. I'm sure you folks who are wizards in this can explain why turning the computer off did what restarting did not.

A105-S4384 DVD drive not recognized after replacement.

I've seen the posts about deleting the filters from the registry on upgrade to Vista. That doesn't help my case.
I replaced the stock Mat**bleep**a drive when it stopped reading any type of disc. The replacement is a Toshiba TS-L632, which was sold as a compatible drive.
What I see is that in the BIOS, the drive is not recognized as Optical Drive, but on the Boot tab, the drive DOES show up as a boot option "TSST-L632H-..."
I do not see a CD/DVD drive option at all in the Windows Hardware Manager (ie. it isn't a matter of seeing an exclamation mark over the drive... it isn't there at all).
If I insert a disc, I hear the drive rev up and spin, but nada afterwards. There is no light active on the drive. Trying to install the L632's firmware is no good, as the installer just pops up a dialogue with "Drive not found!!" message.
I'm at wit's end. The Toshiba site isn't helpful in confirming the compatibility of the drive, but you'd hope that if they make laptops and laptop drives, they'd be compatible.

Although the drive shows up in the boot menu, can you actually boot from it?
Some Toshiba laptops needed the drives to be in CS (cable select) mode in order for them to function properly with the laptop. This can be done on an after-market drive by shorting two pins on the connector (and I have done it before, so it does work), but that may or may not be the problem. But the computer I had to do it to was quite a bit older than yours (M10-something).

T40: Pointing device not recogniced after booting

The pointing device is sometimes not recogniced right after booting. The error message says: activate the pointing device by the bios setting. But in the bios section it is always set to automatic as welll as in the IBM system setup. The error occurs only randomly.
Might be something wrong with the bios? Any experience?? Battery problem?
Thanks!
Martin

Yes, it is the Cisco "b" wireless card and here's the driver:

Make sure to follow the instructions on the download page, since the actual process has two steps before the driver is fully installed.
Hope this helps.

Device not recognized after downloading itunes 11. Re-installed itunes but it didn't help. seems to recognize my phone as a camera. What to do?

My PC runs Microsoft XL. Downlowaded itunes 11 to my iphone 5 and then tried to sync with my computer. The computer. however, does not recognizr my phone as a "device." In fact, I can't even get the word "device" to appear in the sidebar of the itunes. I deleted the current itunes 11 and reinstalled but it didn't help. The PC seems to recognize my phone as a camera. Any suggestions?

Hi Styal,
From your post I see that iTunes is not recognizing your iPhone, but your computer is. A great resource for troubleshooting this issue is the article linked to below.

Firewire 800 device not recognized after a power cycle

I picked up a Seagate FreeAgent Desk | Mac edition (1 Terabyte) a few weeks ago and the first thing I did was format it on my iMac (it came formatted, but I figured it wouldn't hurt). I also wanted to make sure it was done right. So I know the FS works great with this iMac.
As you may see, I have a 3.06 24" iMac to give you an idea of what machine this is being plugged into. The one FW 800 port in the back.
I picked 1394b (FW800) because the speeds are so impressive - and so far this drive is working great! With one exception ..
When I power the machine down & bring it back online, the drive does not automatically come back - and I have to disconnect either the power, or Firewire 800 cable (which I've tried two of - the stock one with the Seagate product and another high quality cable). After that it's smooth sailing.
I just want to get this device working between boots so I can rely on it to take my time machine backups without worrying about fiddling with it to get it working.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, and unfortunately this is my only FW 800 device (not much troubleshooting possibilities). I'm looking to buying a WD MyBook Studio 1TB Fw800 drive - but I won't be doing that (yet) if the port is my issue and not the Seagate drive.
This link is to an image in which you can see my Fw settings in System Profiler.
http://i39.tinypic.com/105dz4y.png
I've been reading the Seagate forums looking for some help, and there seems to be issues with the drivers powering themselves off and confusing the OS, but this doesn't look to be the case. Unfortunately I've got 700GB of data on this drive and will need to move the contents to my on-board drive so I can format the unit with Fat32, plug it into an XP PC (gogo upstairs) and run the Seagate Manager.exe and see if I can modify the power settings (all on a whim, awesome).
I'm just curious what I should do - I don't live in a city where there's an Apple store but there is an Apple authorised reseller/service centre. It looks as though I'll be heading there to see what's up.
Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
Thanks in advance,
hENN

not enough specific information about what caused the problem but I'll give you some pointers to ALWAYS follow with firewire drives. I've been using them for many years without issues through all the OSX versions.
If Mac is powered on: power on seagate and wait a few for the hard drive to spin up, connect firewire cable to Mac first then Seagate. When done : a) unmount the seagate listen for the hard drive to complete its cycle then power seagate down, remove firewire from Mac first then seagate. b) or just power down Mac then power off seagate when the Mac is done.
If Mac is not powered on: connect firewire cable to mac and seagate, power on seagate and listen for hard drive spin up to complete then power on Mac.
The problem with firewire is, if user makes just one mistake with the above then firewire recognition comes into play, such as device will not mount to desktop, etc. Sometimes user gets lucky and nothing happens but consider that rare.
So if user does have firewire troubles , what to do? Not fool proof but many times successful, disconnect external power and all cables and power cycle the external on/off a few times but listen for hard drive spin up and spin down. On the Mac either one or both zap the pram and or power manager reset. This works many times but does not save an external if user highly abuses the procedure. You can also apply this to USB troubles.

USB device not recognized after upgrade to Mountain Lion

I just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 (mountain lion)
I use a usb audio interface (the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6, to be exact) for recording. Prior to the OS update, it was working fine. Post-update, it is unrecognizable by my computer... it doesn't show up in the "sound" panel in system preferences, it doesn't show up in the system profiler. It doesn't exist.
I have posted on the Native Instruments forum as well but I thought maybe someone here has had a similar experience. Thanks!

Agreed, but don't forget about Lexicon, I use one of their Ionix units (U82S) and it has remained flawless, from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. As far as I know all Lexicon devices work with Mavericks, even the cheap little Alpha.

DAQmx devices not recognized after reboot

I have a PXI-1042 box communicating with a desktop computer over a MXI-3 bridge. This system has been up and running for several years through four or five revs of code. I am currently running MAX 4.6.0f1, DAQmx 8.9.5, LV 2009 and TS 4.2.
Lately when an engineer logs on, although all six cards are recognized in the NI-DAQmx Devices configuration section, only three are listed as installed. All six cards are listed in the Chassis section. See attached screen shot. If the engineer logs out and reboots enough times, eventually all six cards are available. Any ideas on what may be corrupting the configuration?
The PC is a Dell Precision WorkStation 380 (Pentium 4) running XP SP3 with 4 GB of memory. The installed PXI cards are:
Slot        Card
1            8330 MXI-3
2            2567 Relay Control
3            6551 DIO
4            6551 DIO
5            2503 Mux
6            6220 M series DAQ
7            2591 Coax Mux
Thanks, Bob

John,
Here are answers to most of your questions:
Can you verify that the missing switch modules are always only the switch modules, or are other modules sometimes missing, too?
           >> It is always the switch modules that are missing.
Is the MXI Bridge always connected to the host controller?
Is the chassis always powered up before the host?
           >> Yes and yes.
When the engineer repeatedly logs out and in, do the cards appear only one at a time, or do multiple formerly missing cards appear at once?
           >> They always come and go together.
Once all cards appear in MAX, do they remain until the machine reboots (even if you log out or in)?
           >> Not positive on this one. I'm 90% sure they come and go, even with just logging in and out.
When cards are missing, does the device manager list the cards under the NI Devices section, or are there any bangs?
           >> Not sure what you are asking here. Is this the "NI-DAQmx Devices" section that is highlighted in the screen shot? The center panel is what is listed when this section header is selected (as shown). What are "bangs"?
Thanks for your help

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 I could not get a ethernet connection using the
Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30) with a Pluglink PL9650-ETH ethernet device.
The Pluglink device was supplied by ATT uverse and has worked with no problem whit this computer and Windows7-8.
I can connect using the wi-fi connection.
The "hardwire" ethernet connection says a cable is unplugged. Any ideas?

Hello @macenv,
Unfortunately, there are no drivers for your Atheros Network Controller on a system running Windows 8.1. I would recommend you try Atheros to see if they have anything that will work for you, but as it stands the HP Pavilion 500-164 Desktop PC Drivers does not have any Ethernet drivers listed for your computer. You can try going to Atheros and see if they have any Windows 8.1 drivers for you Ethernet.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Contacts Not Working After Mountain Lion Upgrade

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I noticed that all my contacts within the Contacts app were missing. The groups were still listed, just not any entries. I've tried removing and re-adding contacts from iCloud through preferences and have also tried to completely sign out of iCloud and then back in. Nothing has helped. I noticed that within Contacts, the default account was set to iCloud. I tried changing this to 'on my mac', and doing so did bring in my contacts. However, I'm not able to select and see details for any of my cards. On the right pane, it still displays the message "No Cards" when a name is selected. When reverting back to iCloud as the default account, all my contacts disappear. Contacts is responding very slowly and I continuously get a pinwheel when trying to navigate. PLEASE HELP!

Had a client with this issue, contacts were still on iCloud. I went to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > selected the iCloud account and unchecked Contacts. When it asked if I wnated to Delete the contacts on the Mac I said yes (they are on iCloud and he has a Time Machine backup.) I waited for the Contacts application to update the change, then checked the box for contacts and they started downloading form iCloud. Hope this helps.
