External Drive Does not show any file in finder

I do not see any file in my external hard drive. It a 2TB hard drive and in info it shows 727 GB remaining. I am sure files are there but for some reason they are not showing in finder. I am using iMac 10.6.8

How does this relate to iPhoto?  You'd best ask your question in the Show Leopard forum as it's more a system/hardware issue.

  • External drive does not show up in finder/ disk utility not able to repair

    Hello,
    My external drive does not show up in finder. But it appaers in DISK UTILITY. When I tried to repair it, it said:
    Verify and Repair volume “ANNE HD”
    ** /dev/disk1s1 (NO WRITE)
    ** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
    ** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
    Unable to read directory (Input/output error)
    Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    How can I back up files if the external drive is not found in FINDER? I tried to restore with disk utility, but it doesn't seem to be able to select the hard drive.
    Can you please help me?

    Thanks a lot Niel,

  • External drive does not show up in Time Machine

    I just applied the lastest update today and now my external drive does not show up in Time Machine. It does show up in Finder.

    Gracias Sir Kappy, These instructions didn't include Yosemite, but I followed the closest and used Mavericks instructions and the command-R was the key, which I suppose means 'restore?' Nothing is explained as we should all be able to read the programmers minds by now...
    Thanks for the help and problem resolved.

  • Windows mail on external drive does not show senders name, only an odd alpha/num. file name. How to view by sender to sent to name ?

    Hello,
    I have downloaded from a PC to an external drive my windows mail files (sent, inbox, etc). I can view the files on the PC by changing headers to add senders name, etc.
    However, when viewing on my MacBook Pro, I can see all the files but the they are labled with a mixed alpha/numberic file name and not the sender, etc. Can the sender and/or sent to names can be added as searchable fields ?
    Thank you,
    Mike B.

    Enterprise manager still requires a static service definition in listener.ora and does not rely on dynamic registration.
    From documentation:
    The SID_LIST is required for backward compatibility with Oracle8 or Oracle7 databases, as well as external procedures and heterogeneous services, and some management tools, including Oracle Enterprise Manager.

  • My Hitachi external drive does not show up in my Dell Lapto Device Manager

    I have a Dell external drive which is Hitachi Model 72323. I was happy with it until I used bit locker to add a password on it. After that it worked a couple of times then my computer will not recognize the drive again. It does not even show up in my device
    manager. I plugged the device into many other computers and it is recognized promptly. However, another Dell that I have will only recognize it once in a while. I don't understand why it is not showing up in the device manager. Please help.

    Hi,
    I suggest you first install latest Windows Updates for your pc.
    Reinstall USB controllers.
    Click Start, then type device manager in the Search box, then click
    Device Manager.
    Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers. Right click a device and click
    Uninstall. Repeat for each device.
    Once complete, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.
    Update the BIOS, install your motherboard's latest chipset drivers. you need to view the manufacture website and the user manual
    Meanwhile, please refer to the following article if you need some more information:
    Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive.

  • External Hard Drive does not show any of my movies or my music

    I originally had a MacBook currently i have a MacBook Air. I'm using a Seagate external hard drive for my files. Before i transferred my files to the Air i had everything on my hard drive. I just dragged and dropped them in the external hard drive icon. And now when i plug my hard drive into my Macbook Air i see my movies, music and pictures folder but when i click on them they are blank and have nothing in them. The only files the movies have in them end in .nfo and i don't know what that means. I don't know why i can't see anything in my folders. Help please!

    I am having the same problem, but on a Mini. Hard drive space is used but my old stuff is gone. I hope someone answers this for us.

  • Opening from"Open Recent" does not show any files.  Help!

    Every time I start IBA the splash screen shows up the templates available.  At the bottom of the screen there is an option to "open recent" files.  The same at the "file" menu on the top menu bar.  I see no file records in either one.  I always have to use the simple "open" command and search for the files, where they are stored.  This is rather annoying as I would prefer to be able to open from "recent" as you are supposed to be able to do.  Please, give me some advice if I need to change something in the settings (I could not find any preferences allowing me to do this either.)

    It might be best to contact Apple for support so they can make sure you don't remove something otherwise important

  • My external harddrive is not showing any files after a mac partition

    I transfered my files from my pc to the external harddrive. The instructions for the external harddrive said I needed to partition the drive to make it mac-compatible. After partitioning, I couldn't find any of the files that I transferred.
    Can anyone help me find the files on the external hard drive?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    did you do the partitioning after you have copied the files to the external harddisk ?
    If so, then they are gone.
    A repartitioning of a harddisk deletes everything that is on that harddisk at that moment.
    If the files are still on your PC, then just reconnect the external HD to your PC and copy the files again.
    Regards

  • Firefox downloads but does not install on my Win7 64 bit laptop and does not show any files in the software list of programs installed.

    I have installed and uninstalled several times with no success. I had a previous version installed in April 10 but it will not reinstall or run. This problem started about a month ago, in early July.
