External HD doesnt show anymore

After installing Yosemite in my MAC Book Air, external HD used for "Time Machine" doesn`t show in "Finder" anymore.
USB ports work fine. Former OS:Maverick.

OS X can usually mount and read NTFS, however even if it does mount OS X can't write to NTFS drives. If you want to use this drive with a Mac and a PC then you're going to want to back up everything on it reformat at it as FAT32.
Does it mount after that?

Backed up music on external drive doesnt show on new computer

k, I backed up my music onto an external drive. I go into another computer of mine and tell it that the library is on this external drive. It knows this and for what i'm concerned it puts music to it. But it doesnt show my existing music that i downloaded on the first computer or the purchases that i have made on on the other computer? Should it show these? do i just start over [which is not what i want to do]? Do I update?

decided to backup my iTunes library to an external hard drive incase of a crash so I dont loose my precious music. So I went into my preferences, Advanced, and changed the iTunes folder location to my external, and consolidated the library which backed up my files to the drive
This is not a backup. This copies everything in iTunes to the new location and iTunes will use that location from now on.
The music located in /Music/iTunesiTunes music/ folder is no longer needed or used by iTunes.
However whenever I would click a song to play it said it could not find the file
iTunes was looking for it on the external (which you probably unplugged/umnounted).
I am wondering since I backed up the library to the external drive
You did not back up the library to the external.
You consolidated everything in iTunes to the external and iTunes will use that.
As Jim noted, if you want to to backup, copy the entire iTunes folder.

If you somehow lost it, look for it in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder in your music folder.
The itl file gets copied into the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder only when you update iTunes.

I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

hi,
I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
. After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
Please help me out.
best,
Zoltan

So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

Try backing it up in iTunes, then restoring software. Back up first, though.
If problem is still there, then you may have to take this to a higher level. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/
If you STILL can't get an answer from those people, then go to an Apple Store and talk with a Genius

How to get External HD to show up in Windows 7?

So I have a 3tb WD harddrive, and also currently have bootcamp setup and running Windows 7 in addition to Mountain Lion. I have the WD harddrive partioned, one part (2.75tb) is Mac OS journaled, and 250gb is FAT32. However, when i go into windows, I cannot view the harddrive, its recognized in devices in control panel, but doesnt show up in My computer. Both partitions show up on mountain lion. How do i get the FAT32 partition to be accessible in windows??? as I am short for internal harddrive space. I am using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display. Thanks!

probably, you should elaborate your question a little..
as far as I understand your Q , you try to IMPORT from an ext. HDD.. this is NOT be done via the Event-Browser, but by the 'Import Movie' command under 'File' ..
the Event Browser offers only files, which are allready imported into iM08/into any Event..

Ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore

Hi,
We have an HP probook G0 where the combination ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore.
- The issue is only with the left ctrl Key. When we use the right ctrl key, ctrl alt delete works
- When I check the onscreen keyboard in windows, the left ctrl key does react, so the key is'nt hardware defected.
With external keyboard everything works also fine.
Laptop has the latest HP updates.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
thx!

thx prob is solved just had to double-click on the window , also performed a virus-scan, but no viruses were found, i do use pc-cilin 2002 (up to date) i hope it's sufficient, because norton is way much better, i know, but i just don't want to spend any money on a damn anti-virus prog...just used the one that came with my mobo

My macbook, from 2009, doesnt show any picture in a piece of his screen

My macbook is from 2009 and now a piece from his screen doesnt show any pictures anymore. I went to a shop from Apple and they told me that its a contact problem and to solve this it will cost about U$700, thats almost the price from a new mac! Does that mean that I have to buy a new Mac every 4 years?
Has someone else the same problem?
How you solved this?

Hi there
The quote for 700 is outrageous. It could be as simple as a loose connection or something not terribly expensive as a new screen. Did they tell you exactly what was to replaced for that 700 dollar diagnosis? Unfortunately, Apple seems to charge you 50 dollars for a screw, no wonder they are doing so well these days. Your Macbook uses a screen made by a manufacturer who makes the same screens for Laptops made by other manufactures who make "PC" laptops. Depending on screen size,you could purchase the screen on Ebay for about 100 dollars. Thats what I did with my MacBook which had a 13.3 inch LG Philips LP133WX1 (TL)(A1) LCD screen. I put it in myself, which is relatively easy. The hard part would be to replace the CCFL bulb inside the LCD if that went, now thats a bit trickier, but that isnt the case here, you are replacing the whole screen. I would call around, but I can almost guarantee you that it would cost you less than 200 dollars total for the screen and a local computer store to install that screen. Call the local shop that specializes in mac first, then call a local PC shop for a second quote to have some leverage. Some places seems to charge double or triple if it has a Apple logo on it.
Good luck and let us know the outcome.

My External HDD doesnt shown in disk utility or in finder

My External HDD doesnt shown in disk utility or in finder
tried everything possible checked everywhere this happened when i used disk utility to repair the HDD ?
please help

Do you have your Finder Preferences set to show external drives?
And, exactly what did you do with Disk Utility? If you repaired your internal hard drive, were you booted from the external?

HD doesnt show through Airport extreme automatically

Hi,
For some reason my Maxtor external HD doesnt automatically show as being connected to my computer. For it to work I have to double click on my "shared" base station and click on the HD. But this is not very helpful considering each time i turn on my computer each day I have to do this to ensure my backups are able to mount the HD to backup. I want it to automatically show.
Can anyone please recommend a solution.
Thanks

I now about this new Airport Extreme but I had the same configuration for the last 3 years whitout any problems. Maybe there is a issue with the wifi in Yosemite because the problem started after the upgrade. It could be?

IBook doesnt boot anymore

Servus alltogether,
I really have a BIG problem with my iBook here. I've installed the Screen Spanning Doctor in order to activate a second screen, and my iBook doesnt boot anymore. It gets to the point with the grey apple and the wheel, and then (using apple+v) there seems to be a problem by loading a file called dyld
dyld:library not loaded: usr/lib/libz.1.dylb
etc/rx line 262 55 trace / BPT trap couldnt find root user usr/sbin /update
I tried to reset nvram in open firmware without any sucess. I can log on in single user mode, but i dont know what i can do now from there.
It would be also very helpfun if soneone could tell me how to mount a external hard drive (I have a Lacie hard drive, perhaps I can rescue my data. Its still there, I checked it in single user mode.) or a usb-stick.
Perhaps it is also helpful when I tell you this: It is a G4 ibook, using the newest patch of mac os x tiger, and my graphic chip is a ati readon 9200 (which should work with the screen spanning doctor but apparently didnt).
I am really in trouble here, because I need this iBook for university. So please help me if you can.

Try starting up from a CD (Apple-C) or in safe mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
Either of these methods should get your booted. Then, back up your data! Next, try Disk Utility to fix your disk. You may have to reinstall the OS. Luckily, you have that backup now.

Replaced my hardrive with new one. but when i turn the computer on, the hardrive doesnt show. pls help.

Before installing a new drive - it is generally better to install it in a external usb enclosure and connect it to your Macbook so you can format/erase the new drive and make an exact clone of the drive you wish to install, unless you plan on doing a clean install.

Udev startup load time doesnt appear anymore

I installed some packages (splashy etc) wich created a lot of pacsave files and messed up my system pretty much. But nothing couldnt handle.
Exept this: udev doesnt show the overal loading time anymore it skips to the next operation.
I checked /etc/start_udev script and I saw in the bottom
echo "udev startup is finished! - time = $(( `date +%s` - $starttime ))"
exit 0
which I think is the code for the loading time to show up but it is not executed somehow.
Can somethink like that can be fixed?

i think this is done by rc.sysinit which belongs to the initscript package. i do not use splashy but i can see it depends on initscripts-splash so that could be the reason.

Ejecting external discs doesnt work properly, no spin down of disc. why?

ejecting my external discs doesnt work properly anymore in 10.6, no spin down of disc happens, the finder unmounts the disc(s) and then the disc spins on and on. thats weird, because, in 10.5 i ejected discs and then they went spinning down the drive, as it has to be.
when i unplug the disc, which is unmounted from desktop, and still spinning, it makes a terrible noise in the disc. like a high pitched short tone.
any idea whats going wrong here?
thanks!

you probably mean "causing the fail to spindown"
you maybe mean software like techtoolpro5 or drive genius3?
yes i disabled these helper apps on the discs, but first i used it (like monitoring
all discs if they are nearly full, or working s.m.a.r.t and so on. yes its useful,
but obviously it causes problems. i must mention, that i tested my 4 external drives again,
and i found out that i can eject all discs, like said before, but only 2 of the discs are spinning down, after ejecting, BUT only when i use the button "eject" in harddisctoolkit, they dont spin down, when ejecting from desktop (apple+E), and the other 2 of the 4 drives refuse to spin down, after ejecting, even with pressing eject in harddisctoolkit....
i can also state, that these 2 discs, which refuse to spin down, are FW800/400 discs and connected via FW800. and the 2 discs which spin down succesfully are UBS2 discs, if thats worth mentioning...
