External SSD not detected!

Hi,
I'm running Mac OS X Lion (latest version) on a MacBook Pro mid-2010 model. OS X Lion was installed via recovery tools a few days ago.
Today I plugged in a brand new Crucial M4 SSD via USB and it got detected. I restarted the laptop in recovery mode using cmd + R and chose to install Lion on the external SSD. For this I first had to partition the SSD before it showed up as a valid drive where Lion could be installed.
The installation went almost to the end, but then stopped rather strangely for a very long time. So I decided to cancel the installation and restarted the laptop normally. Since then the Crucial M4 SSD is not being detected at all (doesn't even show up in Disk Utility).
Can anyone help me here? What can I do to make it show up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks. But I don't have access to another computer or another enclosure. The enclosure I have has an in-built USB cable.
The SSD DID get recognised and I almost installed Lion on it completely, but then what I said above happened.
Is there any other alternative?
Cheers.

External monitor not detected on Thinkpad W530 intel-virtual-output

I'm having problems with connecting my ThinkPad W530 to external monitors since a few months. I'm using NVIDIA Optimus and bumblebee/optirun since the VGA and Mini DisplayPort connectors are only wired to the NVIDIA card om this laptop. For a long time I have executed:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
Then I have started the Screens GUI tool in Gnome to setup the placement of the external screen but now the external screen is not present in the GUI tool and xrandr gives me:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 59.94
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
If I select "Discrete mode" and select startup screen as VGA in the BIOS the BIOS and the Grub screens shows on the external monitor but the screen locks on the screen that shows that the system is booting with the linux-ck kernel. This has never worked for me in Arch Linux so that is no surprise. In Ubuntu everything everything worked fine the last time I tried.
How can I debug this? Why is the external screen not detected any more?

Thanks, I am not sure exactly how to read the logs but I cannot find anything that is obviously wrong
Below is my log with an external screen connected via Mini DisplayPort and after running:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
a few times, no more logs seem to be added when I connect/disconnect the monitor or when I run the above two commands more times.

OCZ Summit 60gb ssd not detected

Hi all,
I just upgraded my 13.3 2.53 mpb's default 250gb hdd to the ocz summit 60gb ssd. I was able to install snow leopard using the leopard disk and snow leopard upgrade disk. I subsequently installed win xp pro sp3 on boot camp. The ssd is evenly partitioned between osx and windows. After installing win xp, I did not tinker with startup disk settings. I was working on a document in windows and when I returned a hour later, the mbp is showing 'a flashing question mark folder'. I followed the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440 Using disk utility from my osx install cd, I could see that the ssd is not detected, only the dvd drive is detected. I reopened the mbp and confirmed that the sata connection is secure. On a side note, I put the old 250gb hdd into an external enclosure (which has a time machine backup), it was detected by osx install cd.
Next I'll swap the ssd into the external enclosure and see if its detectable.
Thanks in advance.

So exactly what is your question?
Assuming you are asking what happened to your SSD, you may have to roll back your EFI 1.7 firmware to EFI 1.6 for the SSD to work internally in the computer. I had to in my MBP.

External HD not detected in MacBook but iBook

Hi All:
I have below systems with me >
* iBook G4 running Tiger with 1GB memory
* Previous MacBook running Tiger with 2GB memory
* New MacBook running Leopard with 4GB memory
* New iMac running Leopard with 4GB memory
I have a 100GB external HD connected to my iBook for 2 years now, via USB. And my Previous MacBook used to read and access data from the same HD too. I dunno if I have changed any setting or any software update technically forbid the access from any other Mac systems except iBook, which I bought with.
In iBook, the external HD works perfectly. I eject it, connect it to any of my MacBook now, the light on the device is turned on but nothing moves in Finder. There's no icon, unlike in iBook where a USB HD icon appears below Macintosh HD. I tried to partition and erase everything, remain Mac OS (Journaled) format, but no luck. It's properly detected and accessible by iBook but not any others.
Have I possible changed anything without knowing it ? Can someone share with me what to do next ? The external HD works well but I dun understand why none of other Mac systems recognise it, except the original iBook. Thank you.

Hi:
I am using a 100GB from Samsung. Should have mentioned earlier. It's USB-powered. I never use it with any adapter. I just plug it into iBook G4 and in less than 2 seconds time, drive pops up in Finder perfectly.
However with MacBook running either Leopard or Tiger, the light will be on and you hear it spinning. I tried to plug in adapter last night, still no luck.
I re-partitioned to GUID or Master Boot or Apple, either Mac Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS, none of them works.
Then, last night I tried to boot-camp Windows XP and to my surprise, it was detected without any problem ! Oh...... So now I think the problem is not in USB port, not in the power adapter (which I never use), not in the format, it's in Tiger or Leopard for MacBook.
Tiger I use on iBook G4 is 10.4.11 (no problem at all)
Tiger I use on MacBook is also 10.4.11 (not detected but light is on)
Leopard I use on MacBook is 10.5.2 (not detected but light is on)
I spent so much time transfer data from external HD to iBook then to iPod then to MacBook. I just dun understand. Thank you for all your posts. ^_^

External HD not detected

Hi, my dog ate the original power cable that came with Touro Desk 2TB (external HD). I had to buy another power cable, but this time was a generic. The external HD is turning on fine, but iMac is not detecting it. I hope it's because of the new power cable. I only can see some of the external HD information on System Information:
Touro Desk 3.0:

Is current available and required mA confirming my thoughts? Please help! My life depends on this. Thanks in advance!!

Now that that thing is fixed, another problem rises...
I formatted the HD in a HFS+ partition and wanted to use the other half of the HD as an NTFS partition for my PC.
So I used the Disk Utility to create a NTFS-3G partition, but that partition didn't appear on my PC, so I wanted to format that partition to an NTFS partition, but I kept getting an error: Not enough disk space on the device to complete the partitioning. (I translated the error from Dutch).
Tha strange thing is that the new NTFS-3G partition is completely empty.

External Hdd not detected

Hi guys,
I've got this issue where my Macbook Air cannot detect my external hdd (not showing up on disk utility), where as my Mac Mini can. I assume it's a software issue. Both are running OSX Mavericks (Latest edition) and there is nothing wrong with my USB port in the Air (detects my mouse, flash drive etc.).
The hdds' LED no longer flashes when plugged in the Air but functions fine when plugged in the Mac Mini.
Is there any manual reset command (through Terminal) or setting in the Macbook Air without having to factory reset?
Thanks in advance for your help!

If the hard drive is bus powered (it doesn't have an independent power supply) the MBA may not be supplying enough power to the drive. This isn't an uncommon problem. I have a cheap external at work with this problem which I solved by plugging it into a powered USB hub instead of directly into the computer. Had that not worked I'd have tried finding an external power supply for the drive - or junking the enclosure.

External drive not detected

Hi,
Just transferred from a macbook 2008 to a brand new mac mini 2014.
My backup was on an external drive, but when it's plugged to the mac mini, its not detected, but it is on my macbook ....
what can I do ?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

T61 and the Intel Graphics Card error - external monitor not detected

T61 with Vista 32 bit, Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset and an Advanced Mini Dock.
I am trying to use the DVI port and an external monitor. The driver does not detect the external monitor.
Uninstalling the Intel driver the Generic profile will work on the external monitor, but is overly fuzzy, how do I get the T61 to recognize my external monitor with the right drivers?
I am currently running the Intel Driver Ver. - 7.14.10.1329, which provides the message under Multiple Display:
Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display.
Of course my 22" monitor is connected. That is the frustrating part. I have also uninstalled Presentation Director, just in case, but then re-installed after it seemed that wasn't the problem.
There is a newer driver from Intel but it is not Lenovo approved yet I guess. Though I highly doubt this is the problem. What can I do?
~~
I did post a thread on the thinkpads.com too, but so far haven't had any luck.

Well the new dock came but didn't fix the problem. Now my nice new T61 is packed up in a depot box, waiting for DHL to come pick it up.
dkaufman1 -- I guess we do have different problems. If I set my T61 to display to the DVI port in the bios I get a blank screens on both the DVI connectd monitor and the laptop screen until the OS boots when I have the laptop in the dock. The only way I can see the bios screen to set it back to the ThinkPad LCD setting is to boot it disconnected from the dock.
I really hope that this problem is resolved, as I really like the T61 otherwise. I was even using it with the VGA cable connected to my 22" monitor, but it was pretty hard to take. I'm now back to my old desktop hooked up to the same monitor via DVI and it is quite the relief, even if it isn't as zippy as the T61.

External SSD not shown in Finder

My external SSD does not appear in Finder and not in Disk Utility.
The SSD is connected to my Macbook Pro via an USB cable form a SATA hard disc casing.
I used the SSD in another MBP till it broke down (logic board failure). When I bought a new MBP I took the SSD out of the old one and put it in a casing with USB connection. I could rescue all data to my new MBP. Then I erased the SSD with tthe intention to use it only for photos. It has worked fine for some time.
I have used it on two macs and I also had it conntected via my Time Capsule. The TC connection was slow plus that I got problems with Time machine, so I skipped that. After that my problems began. None of my computer recognise the SSD now.
Now I only can trace the SSD on System Information; under USB I see ”USB to S-ATA”. That is all.
The power indicator on SSD casing is lighting.

You probably have a bad controller in the enclosure. Purchase another and see if the SSD will work (they're very inexpensive and some are simply better than others - I use OWC enclosures for all of my clone drives).
Good luck,

HP 8530w - SSD not detected

Hello,
Recently I managed to get an SSD from work, namely the A-Data S596 (500 SERIES).
When putting it into my HP Elitebook 8530w, the disk was not detected.
I have already upgraded the BIOS to the newest version.
The SSD's firmware has also recently been upgraded to the newest.
After some googling, I read the device mode could matter.
The disk was not detected using AHCI, IDE or RAID.
Any other ideas to make it work?
Thank you in advance.

Same problem here with a Samsung SSD (MMCRE28G8MXP, Lenovo OEM). The disk works fine in three other devices but is not detected by the 8530w BIOS. The BIOS and SSD firmware are current and the SATA Device Mode setting has no effect. I was wondering whether there might be a tool to set the mode of the SSD but couldn't find anything.
Any ideas??

PX1268E 400GB External HD not detected

hi all
I purchased a Toshiba 400GB External USB Hard Drive from DABS it shipped without a CD Rom. I've plugged the USB cable into the computer but it has not detected the drive, even after re-starts or trying alternative USB slots. Not even displayed in Device Manager. I probably need this CD to complete the instal yes ? Can I download the installation file from here ?
Any info/advice gratefully received.
cheers

Hi
Im not sure if this external HDD needs an additional installation CD but everything should be shipped together with the HDD box!!!
In my knowledge such HDD needs external power supply. The cable should be delivered also together with this HDD.
So take your HDD manual and check all shipped parts! If something is missing contact you HDD dealer!
Ps; the CD cannot be downloaded from the net!

MyBook external HD not detected

I wanted to take my iBook with me, so I put the MyBook (Western Digital hard drive) icon in the trash before unplugged the hard drive from the USB drive.
Now when I plug the hard drive into the USB port my iBook does not detect the drive. What can I do so that my computer will detect the hard drive?

NO such thing as a Buffalo HD, contains a Seagate HD inside the box.
verify on another Mac if same, likely this very common issue, read about same here:
SATA card failure:
Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD

SSD not detected in MSI bios?

So i have a corsair force lx SSD and it seems to be not detected on the bios. This SSD does have an OS in it and my pc does boot. but sometimes when i turn on my pc it gives the "9C" error i believe. after i did some research hat code means that it is searching for a bootable USB or something similar. So itry to move the SSD to first boot priority but the SSD is not even an option. It is detected, the mobo sees it in board explorer and all but it is not seen on the "boot priority"
I do have an HDD, Optical Drive and the SSD plugged in. But the SSD is in sata port 6. does plugging it farther down the sata port effect its "detectedness"? Should i move it down to sata port 1 or sata port 2?
Sorry if my grammar/sentence structure and all seems messed up. I am in a bit of hurry while typing this thread.
PC Specs:
CPU: fx8350 stock speed
GPU: XFX r9 280x stock speed
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: Corsair 128GB LX

Which SATA port is the SSD plugged into? Make sure it is into #1 on the motherboard so it's detected as #1. Otherwise some play within BIoS is required to get it up.
The SSD is plugged into sata port 6.
My HDD is plugged into sata port 1
Optical drive is plugged into sata port 2
I will swap my SSD and HDD port and see if it will show up on the boot priority

USB and external HDD not detected by OS X

Hello.
Since last few months, whenever I plugin a USB pen-drive or an external hard disk, it seems at first that the system has not detected the disk, since nothing shows up in the finder and there is no way to access the disk also. The disk connection is complete since the lights turn on immediately.
When I remove the disks from the port, I get a message that I should first eject it and then remove the disk, which is not possible because I CANT SEE THE DISK ANYWHERE.
Now I plugin the disk the second time and IT GETS DETECTED.
I have to do this with every external storage disk EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Someone please help me find a solution to this problem.
Thanks.

Hi James,
The USB hub will not function on a non-Apple branded monitor without connecting a USB cable from Type-B USB port on your monitor to one of your mac's Type A USB ports. The USB host bus should be beside your Display Port output on the monitor. Generally, a Type A to Type B USB cable will be included with your external monitor.
Hope that helps.
