Firewire device not showing up in finder, even though connected

I have a device (Tascam hd-p2) connected to my firewire 800 port on my macbook pro. It has information on a cf card that I would like to access. The device shows up in the bus on system profiler, but it doesn't show up in my sidebar in finder, on my desktop, or anywhere that I can find it. How can I get to my information? Thanks

What version of Mac OS X? (Your profile says "iOS 6", but that's not a Mac operating system.)
Assuming you are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, set either or both of the following:
Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop: > External disks
Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Show these items in the sidebar: > DEVICES > External disks

Firewire device not showing

Greetings
using a G5, tiger 10.4.9
I have been using this computer for many months with no problem using firewire devices. I recently set up a seperate user account on the computer for my daughter. Prior to this ( for many months)I had a fireiwre device - LACIE external HD -connected that would mount each time at startup and show up on the desktop. Now, I can't get the icon on the desktop of the LACIE to show when I startup. I connected a camera to the computer using firewire, but it too would not show ( before it would). When I connected the camera using USB, it showed up on the desktop. Looks like firewire devices not showing. I checkd System Profile and it shows the LACIE device as connected and functioning. But it won't show up on the desktop. Any ideas on why I can't ge the Firewire devices to show on the desktop?
Thank you in advance for you help. . . .

Sounds like you have the name wrong. Open Disk Utility and take a look to verify the volume name. Disk Utility will list the drive itself, then indented below that is the volume name. To verify that you are using the correct name, try launching Terminal and do a list command:
ls -a /Volumes/"Name of Volume"
Hit the return key and see if the contents of the volume are listed. There is a space after "ls" and another after "-a"--if you don't get anything or get an error then you might want to try
ls -a /Volumes
and try copying the name from the list and pasting into the AppleScript.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

Shared devices not showing up in finder

Shared devices on my network are not showing up in Finder on my MacBook Air. Problem just began in the last 24 hours, and is limited to just this computer. Have done usual things -- checking, unchecking shared devices in Finder; relaunching Finder; restarting computer. Any ideas?

Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

External storage device not showing up in finder

I have an imac with an external storage device for back-up. Up to now when I turned on the device it would show up in Finder. Now it's not. I have checked the connections (firewire), restarted the computer but it's not showing up. What should I do or try?

TRY THIS SOLUTION, EASY!
I'm a GOOD mac user. Not a genius, but pretty good, used it for years.
BUT SOMEHOW THIS ESCAPED ME:
In the finder, on the left side, scrol down to DEVICES.
Mouse over slowly to the right of that word and it says SHOW/HIDE.
Well.. Mine were hidden!
That's it!

Firewire devices not showing up - No firewire information in System Profile

I have 3 external HD's, and an M-Audio Firewire interface connected to my dual 2.5 G5 - 10.4.6.
None of my drives are showing up on my desktop, and my interface is not showing up in my audio settings. In addition, the FIREWIRE secion of the system profiler has no information in it at all... it simply says "FireWire Bus:"
I ran a hardware diagnostic, and everything passed both the quick test and the full test.
I have tried numerous firewire cables, and all of my ports (FW 400 and 800)
I am very alarmed by this, I have zapped PRAM and repaired all permissions in Disk Utility.
please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
john

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! (some you have tried!)
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that didn't work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.6 Combo update ( PPC, not for Intel systems). Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still didn't get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work

ITunes suddenly not showing all my content, even though the folder does

All of the sudden, iTunes stopped showing all of my content. I have over a hundred movies and several TV shows and all of the sudden, some of the newer stuff that I recently ripped or bought from the iTunes store is no longer showing up in iTunes.
It is still in my iTunes folder however and open and accessible if I click it in Finder. This however is not a good solution as I don't know what is missing from the list and how this ridiculous issue happened.
I am furious. I spend a lot of time adding to my iTunes library for my Apple TV and suddenly, and for no reason that I can discern, content is not showing up, no matter what I do.
I recently moved my iTunes library to a 2 TB Time Capsule and took it off my internal drive, but this worked fine. For a while iTunes kept losing the library, but it no longer asks for it. It points to the right place, plays the content it chooses to see from the right place, and ignore others even though it showed them before and still has them in the library.
I am beyond confused. Can anyone help?

Check on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings that you checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" and that you checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab. Also confirm that your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (in Store>Authorize this computer).

Iphone 4s not showing up in iTunes, even though I have done everything suggested by Apple

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.
Everything worked fine untile one day, the iPhone stopped showing up in iTunes. I have not installed any other software during that time.
I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.
My iPhone is showing up in iTunes when I connect it to another computer with iTunes installed.
Any clues as to what may cause this on my computer?
Thanks!

the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes like the old one did.

TS1398 iPad is not showing any available wifi even though my husbands iPad works anywhere in our house. My iPad worked fine until last week.

My IPad is just under 1 year old and I purchased at SAMs Club. It has just started not being able to find wifi in our home. My husbands iPad picks up wifi from any room in the house but mine has to be in the same room as the router. What can I do?

Mp3 device not showing up in finder

Hi Anyone.
I have recently converted over to MAC. Really happy so far. Everything that i used on my PC has come over fine cameras etc. But i have a Samsung mp3 player. I know that itunes does not use anything other than ipod so i was hoping to just drag stuff into the my samsung. When i plugged it in nothing would happen, my mp3 player would say it is connected and charging but the mac would not say anything. Being a novice i stubbled into System profiler, it names my Mp3 player as being in a usb port. So my mac is showing up in system profiler but no where else eg finder. I would really like to no what to do next. I would like to keep using this Mp3 player for a little while longer and dont want to have to buy another one just yet. Oh and another thing. My friend came round with his cheap as Mp3 player and it worked fine, it showed up in desktop and i could see all his songs and photos and stuff.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Thanks in advance

HI,

All songs not showing under artists name - even though spelling is the same

I have 8 songs by a particular artist. Only one shows under "artist". I have checked 5 times - spelling-everything is the same for the artist. All of the songs can be found under "songs". I have checked spellings over & over. What could be my problem?

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

Hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch. i have bought apps off itunes and whenever i connect my ipod to my computer it syas that it is syncing.but the appa will not show on my ipo even though it has synced.how can i resolve this?

hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My podcast does not show up in search, even though I submitted it and it was accepted.

I think I submitted the wrong feed URL, but it's been over two weeks and I did not receive a confirmation message.
When I try resubmitting the correct feed though (which has been checked with a feed validator), it tells me that my feed has already been submitted..
Is there anyway I can start this process over again so I can just begin with the correct and validated link?

My feed URL is
http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fireside-chats-with-danny-iny/fee d/
but I accidentally submitted
http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fireside-chats-with-danny-iny/
I can find the latter using the advanced search and it is preventing me from submitting the former.
When I try to "report a concern" to delete the one I initially submitted, it says that I can't because I did not subscribe to the it via the Itunes directory.
Is there a way to get the feeds deleted so I can add the correct one?
