External Drive not listed under Devices

Hello,
I recently (within the last week) bought a WD MyBook Studio 500GB HDD and have been using it for my media storage. When downloading files, through a torrent client, I have it automatically save to my External, but today something weird happened. The external shows up on my desktop but not under "Devices" in the Finder. It DOES show up if i click my computer in Devices, so its listed as a subset of my computer instead of an extra device. My torrent client gives errors when trying to access the data on the external, so i have no idea whats going on. Video link at screencast is attached just for clarification. Running on Firewire 800. http://screencast.com/t/j3Nm4NtolKo

Hi Tyler Cordell-
A lot of folks have problems with those drive and their Macs. This is not an unusual thing to have happen. My first advice is to return it if you can and get something different.
Can you see the drive in Disk Utility? If so, are you able to repair it?
Luck-

G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
Before that, it isn't working at all.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi athirah11,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
- Link to picture
- Link to picture
2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
- this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Im unable to find in Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed in device manager

i tried all option like uninstall my itunes and get latest and reinstall and factory reset my iphone5
but still my iphone is not reconzie under device manger , im unable find Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed under device manger onmy windows7

Found a possible solution for me.
While the phone was plugged into my computer and iTunes is CLOSED.
1. I went to Services in Windows.
2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".
3. Then I right-clicked again and selected "Start".
4. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked my iPhone with the yellow alert icon and selected "Uninstall". You will get a warning about uninstalling the device. Click OK.
5. At the top of Device Manager I clicked the Action menu and selected "Scan for Hardware Changes".
This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.

External drive not showing in sidebar

I have set my Finder Preferences for the Sidebar to show connected servers and external drives. However, I can not get a mounted external drive to show under Devices in the sidebar. It has appeared previously, but now I can't get it to stick on the sidebar when dragging the external drive from the finder window to the sidebar. Noticed some older posts on the Internet from others experiencing this issue. Is there a fix?
MacBook Pro RD, early 2013, OS 10.8.5, with attached Dell external monitor.

Can you see it in Disk Utility? If so, try the mount command in the top menu bar.
You can also try deleting the Finder .plist.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

Turn on the Systen and Right away start hitting F2 to load the BIOS Utility

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

IPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

Why is my iPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices ?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Since you are using a Windows based computer, could be anti virus software preventing iTunes from "seeing" the iPhone.

Isight not listed under firewire in system profile

hello all,
All of a sudden my isight is not listed under firewire in the system profile. I've tried restarting with it plugged in and with it not plugged in. The green light of the camera will come on for a few seconds then shuts off when i do plug it into a firewire port. I have tried both ports on the computer and it is the same thing with each. I use yahoo messenger and no camera is listed there anymore. I also have iglasses installed and it always worked great. I guess I need to know how to get the system to list it again!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Tim

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Tim
Sorry Tony's good suggestion did not work for you.
(1) You can try the other checks, including checks for things like bad cables or ports, from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional. If you can, it will be particularly helpful to try your iSight on another Mac and try another iSight on your Mac.
(2) Click the highlighted items in System Profiler as follows to check for iSight:
If your iSight is still not recognized in System Profiler, try the suggestions in Apple's What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device article.
(3) If you can get your external iSight recognized as a Firewire device in System Profiler but your iSight is still not working, you should next try all relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific". Click here if you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting.
(4) If you cannot get System Profiler to recognize iSight as a Firewire device after trying all relevant suggestions, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Hey corky60,
I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
2. Restart the iPod Service
3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Change your iPod's drive letter
7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
You can read more about each step in detail in this article:
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
I'd start at the top and work through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod nano.
Take care,

Try some maintenance actions:
1) Reset Printing System:

2) If that doesn't help, repair the hard drive and permissions after booting from the recovery partition:

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.
