Disk Drive Does Not Appear During Installation

During the installation for iTunes 6.0.2, at the point where it asks you to select a drive to install the application into, no drive appears for me. Ive tried installing it many, but recieve the problem. I would appreciate help with this problem!

Thought I'd post a couple of screenshots to help - a pic is worth.....
This is the System Preferences > CD/DVD Pane which no longer appears on Macs without an optical drive (this is from my MBP with a Superdrive):
This is the iPhoto Preferences window (within iPhoto):
But, none of that applies to external optical drives because they will never show - the preferences you set will show the media, but not the drive. My external optical drive is brand new from OWC and it does not show. However, it works like a charm.
As for your RAID setup - as I said, i can't help there because I have never used it.

    Look in the Utility folder which is located inside the Applications folder.
    You don't want to do anything with the disk on a PC if you want it to work on the Mac. They both use different formats.

  • Finder & Dock do not work - Mac Hard Drive does not appear on Desktop

    Until yesterday, my powerbook was working properly.
    This morning, I wanted to use it and I had the following problems after login.
    1/ My Mac Hard drive does not appear on my dekstop
    2/ My dock appears but no icon works when I click on them. So, I can't open finder. I have no response.
    3/ Furthermore, my top bar (with clock, login name, Airport icon...) appears but it is frozed.
    I try several solutions as :
    - rebooting in safe mode,
    - rebooting, with in the same time, hold different keys (option, apple, p & R)...
    As of today, no solution works.
    Thanks for your help.

    Ok, that's good enough. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    EDIT:
    I have around 5 Go space left on my Mac
    Also, your getting very low on disk space. Try to copy some of the data off to other media. *Do it before you try applying the combo, you'll need the space.*

  • Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

    Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
    When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
    When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
    Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

    Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

  • New Downloaded/Installed Cannon PPD Print Driver does not appear in driver list

    I have downloaded and installed every new driver, 5 times, including he PPD driver for the Canon imagerunner 5570 printer, however when I add the printer the PPD driver does not appear in the list of drivers. the printer is on a wireless network and I was able to print before updating.  I had not set up Time Machine until today so I can't go back, or can I.   I am a new Mac owner so please be gentle.
    Thanks

    The PPD installer will copy files to HD > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj and the file names will be "cnxxxx.pdd". Can you first check that you have all the files installed.
    If you do have the files then you can add the printer using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that the iR5570 does not support Bonjour so it won't appear in the Default view of Add Printer as Zlig suggested. You then enter the IP address of the iR5570, leave the queue name blank, change the name to something meaningful and then search for the ir5570 in the Print Using menu.
    If there are no Canon iR models listed in the Printer List (typing iR in the Search field will determine this) then you should try resetting the printing system as follows.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move the mouse over the Printers list.
    3. Hold down the Control key and then click the mouse
    4. Click on the 'Reset printing system' pop-up
    5. Close Print & Fax and restart your Mac
    This will remove all the printer queues from Print & Fax but will not remove the printer drivers installed on the Mac. So you can try adding your print queue to the iR5570 again using the process above.

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

  • Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

    Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
    What I did so far:
    I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
    Unzipped the basic zip.
    Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
    Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
    Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
    Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
    From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
    I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
    What am I missing?

    hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

  • My disk drive does not play any original dvd or cd anymore, but the copies work fine, no matter which format. Do I need a new disk drive?

    Hello All,
    since last week my disk drive does not play any original DVD or CD anymore, but copied ones, no matter which format work fine. I am a bit confused that the copied ones still work.
    Anybody experienced the same? Will I have to get a new disk drive? Unfortunately the warranty expired last month
    Looking forward to your answers and thanks,

    An external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ may solve your problems.

  • Driver does not appear in the selection tab Windows8

    NDIS protocol driver does not appear in the Selection Tab and hence I can not run any tests on it. The client operating system is Windows 8 64bit Pro Premium. I tried reinstall driver several times, reboot client and studio machines, but with no results.
    Client itself is connected to the studio and is in "Ready" state.
    There was no problem running the test on the same driver with Win7 64bit client OS.
    HCK version is 8.59.29854
    The driver is build with DDK7.1.0
    Any hints on how to debug this would be helpful.
    Dmitry

    Have you uninstalled and re-install the HCK client on the test system?  This can cause the entry on the controller to not match up with the actual client system.  If this is the case, and you have done no testing on the system (as all results will
    be lost), please try this:
    1) Uninstall the DTM client from the test system.
    2) Delete the client entry from HCK studio in the machine management section.
    3) Reinstall the DTM client on the test system.
    4) Wait for client entry appear in the "Default Pool"
    5) Change client status to "Reset", wait for it to become "Ready", and try locating the target as I describe above.

  • Epson DX5000 driver does not appear on list in'print using' box

    Epson DX5000 driver does not appear in list despite the fact that I have downloaded the software.
    When the printer is connected and I try and print I first go to 'add printer' in the print dialogue window. This takes me to the printer browser where the Epson DX5000 appears - at this starge I can't add as this option is not highlighted. Instead I have to go to 'print using' where I click on Epson - this is where the problems start as the DX is not on the very long list.

    Hi Ali
    Yes I have installed the software
    I have been using another printer so I realise that I don't need to add printer each time - this is the first time using this new printer
    After I 'add printer' I am taken to the printer browser where the RX5000 is listed (this is in the default browser mode) when I then click the RX5000 the name and location appear in the appropriate boxes but I am unable to press the 'add' button. I have to go to more printers where I then go on to look in the epson folder.
    this is where I get stuck as my printer is not listed

  • Trying to make RAID boot drive - but drive does not appear when starting up

    Used Disk Utility to take current boot drive and put it in mirrored RAID. Did this by taking volume, placing it in RAID window, and clicking "enable".
    The new drive is shown as bootable, and selectable by Startup preferences but does not work. When I hold Option key during startup, the RAID drive does not show up. Apple support offered no help and said I should get hardware card. (Will add second drive after RAID is bootable).
    The 'virtual' disk for the RAID drive (disk4) seems to not be visible.

    Howdy bhagon,
    It sounds like the iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. Allow me to recommend this troubleshooting assistant named:
    iPhone not appearing in iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    Start at step 1 and work your way down as needed. Here is that step 1 to get you started:
    Update iTunes
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. To check for available updates of iTunes on a Mac, go to iTunes > Check for Updates. On Windows, go to Help > Check for Updates.
    To install iTunes, you need one of the following operating systems on your computer:
    Mac: OS X version 10.6 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP
    Note: If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, be sure to download the 64-bit version of iTunes.
    If your computer does not meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your computer before installing iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Canvio External Hard Drive does not appear in MY COMPUTER

    Sorry if the subject is in wrong section of the forum.
    I bought an External Hard Drive to use with my Windows 7 laptop. When connecting, sounds like a new device is connected, also appears listed in DEVICES & PRINTERS, but does not appear in MY COMPUTER, becoming impossible to access it anyhow.
    Procedures about how to format or change device letter (in DISK MANAGEMENT), although the device has been also shown there, haven't work.
    "Drivers" are listed as updated.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Jerry, thanks for trying to help.
    I download the KillDisk as your adviced.
    The Hardware appears there like:
    Hard Disk 2 (82h) TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 - [DEVICE IS NOT READY]
          Local Disk (2 - [DRIVE IS NOT READY]
    Available actions for each are: Mark / Unmark / Refresh.
    Any possibility of it is broken, or something?

  • DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

    I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
    It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
    The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
    I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
    Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway
