Ext HD Not SNot Listed as a Device in Finder

Hi,
Running os 10.5.8
I start up from my internal hd on my PM G5.
Not sure what is causing this, but I have an external HD connected by FW to my G5 and it shows up on the desktop, I can click on the dt icon and access it, I can read/write to it but it will not show up in the finder as a device. I have run disk repair/permissions (on both my external hd and my startup hd), run disk warrior (on both my external hd and my startup hd) with no issues and it still won't show up as a device in the finder when I start from my internal hd.
If I log in as a different user on the same startup hd, then it does show up as a device in the finder, Also it shows up in disk utility and disk warrior, both running from the startup drive as my main user or new user. It will also show up under devices in the finder if I startup from a different HD with my main user or as a new user.
Please help.
thanks,

where exactly does it not show up? in the finder sidebar? just drag it to the devices section of the sidebar from the desktop. if that is not working delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and log out/in. then go to finder preferences->sidebar and check the box to show external drives in the sidebar.

Internal web cam does not work and unknown usb device pops up

I have had my Pavillion DV6 1230us laptop now for about 7 years now and it was working great untill last year. When the lap top comes out of sleep mode or I restart the computer the " unkown device" balloon pops up. I have tried the following fixes, un-installing all the usb devices and did a reboot, I removed the main battery and held the power button for 2 minutes and re-installed it , I have re-installed the webcam drivers from HP and even removed and installed the small mother board battery with no sucess. When the " unknown device " balloon pops up I can hear an audio prompt like I am plugging and un-plugging a usb device in one of the ports but I am just watching and hearing the problem happening.

Hey Scotman,
The Webcam would not be listed as USB device as it is built into the Notebook. Do you have anything connected USB? What do you see in device manager for your Image devices? Here is a video on Webcam. I am not sure if anything will help you in it or not. If you remove all USB devices in the device manager and remove all USB cords from the computer the balloon should not appear on restart.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

Why is 6790 not in the list of supported devices ?

My Nokia 6790 came with Ovi Maps installed, however when I try to upgrade I am asked to select the model from a list, and the 6790 is not listed.
Why is 6790 not currently in the list of supported devices ?

@alanbarneys -jj was just quoting a previous post. His posts are always like that. Even I at times have trouble reading them.
Anyway, to answer the question regarding free maps to the 6790. This is a special case since AFAIK the 6790 Surge is a special edition phone available only through AT&T. Such special edition phones often do get software later. However, Nokia did promise to get newer phones availability to the Free Maps service this month.
Please note that for certain models (the N86 in particular) are rumored to have a scheduled update for this month to make it compatible with maps. All you can do now is to wait and see if the 6790 is going to be one of the units with the upcoming update.
Please note that currently, the only devices supported are those with the s60v5 operating system (touch screen) and non touch screen phones with s60v3FP2 operating system with 600mhz processors.
