External hard disk does not show in finder

WD usb external hard disk does not appear in finder. Disk utility sees it and will mount/unmount and eject. I ran repair disk util. and all is well but still does not appear in finder

Hey Hatter, Thanx for the input.
Among other things I tried was a terminal routine someone suggested with no luck and new drivers/firmware for the drive, again, no luck.
I still don't know for sure what caused my problem, but I re-partitioned the drive and re-formatted it and that seemed to solve the provlem. Sadly, I lost all my info that was backed up on that particular drive but hopefully it won't come back to bite me later.
Cheers!!

Folders that I copy from my Macbook to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other drive that I connect the Hard disk to (TV, PC, ... etc.)

I'm facing a bit of a problem.
Any folder I copy from my Macbook Pro to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other device that I connect the Hard Disk to (TV, PC, etc).
The Hard disk format is "MS-DOS (FAT)".
The folders that are copied from Macbook appear when I connect the Hard Disk to my Macbook only, yet, the folders that I copy from a PC to the Hard Disk appear on Macbook, PC, and TV and are also available from editing from both Mac and PC.
I was advised to install "Paragon" software and I did but I'm not sure how to use it to convert the folders on the hard drive to any format that can be read on other drives or devices (NTFS or otherwise).
I'd appreciate some help. Thank you.

Hi Simon. How is it formatted, FAT or NTFS?
I only ask as OSX will only read NTFS partitions unless you install an App such as Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS.

Seagate Hard Disk is not detecting

Hi Friends,
I have an AMD Athlon 64 Processor with MSI motherboard of VIA K8M800-CE + VT8237R Chipset. My Previous hard disk was a 120 GB Seagate SATA which is lost now. I purchased a new 250GB seagate SATA disk and try to install Window XP 2 in it, but even though the Raid floppy is working my Hard disk is not detectable. I have the same old Raid Floppy which was used for 12o GB hard disk. I am not sure what causiong this problem. Is it relatyed to SATA or Raid floppy. My floppy is working that i used 2 weeks before also. Is there anything i messed. Please help...
Thanks and Regards

Yes. A little strange to me. In a drawer somewhere I keep the very first hard disks I ever used. They still work, though they buzz a little. They date from 1997 and onwards. What happened to your lost disk?

Software Update reports...Your hard disk does not have enough space

<< Your hard disk does not have enough space-3 B is required to download and install the checked updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your startup disk, then try again.>>
I've got 127GB free??!!

I ran the Disk Utility and it said that "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK." I tried to proceed with my software update and it still says I dont have enough space. I have 159.7GB availible and the error message says I only need 3.75GB of space. What do I do now?! Thanks in advance for your help!

The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved

Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
"The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"

Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows

Disk recording not found...

Does repairing iTunes resolve the issue?
To do so, close iTunes and navigate to the Control Panel >Programs and Features / Uninstall a program, select iTunes and choose "Change" and then choose "Repair".
Hope this helps,

Hi cam725,
First off, do you have the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) installed on your computer?
To download the latest version, go to this page:
Download iTunes - 7.3.1.3
If that doesn't help, then let's see if this is being caused by digital signing issues on your PC. Check out this article for details:

Internal hard disk is not visible in disk utility in Macbook Pro

Hi All,
I am trying to repair my mac. But in disk utility, the hard disk is not visible to proceed. Its showing disk0 -> volume with only 1.79GB. and all the options are disabled. The capacity of my mac book pro was 500GB.
Please help me in solving this issue
Thanks in advance....

So you've booted into your Recovery partition and you don't see any drives in Disk Utility to select in Recovery mode?
If the drive cannot be repaired, it's likely dead and you'll need to purchase a new internal drive.
Good luck,

10.2.8 installation and external hard disk does not show on desktop

I just reinstalled OS X 10.2 (by erasing the hard disk during installation) and upgraded with the Combo pack to 10.2.8 . This is an iMac G4 1GHz with a 17-inch display. I tried connecting a Western Digital MyBook with 500Gb through both the USB port and through FireWire. In both cases the hard drive does not appear on the desktop BUT does appear in the Disk Utility program and in the System Information window. Finder, therefore, doesn't display the drive. The MyBook drive is formatted to Windows FAT 32. Before I reinstalled OS X 10.2.8, this machine was running 10.3.9 and the drive did appear (I'm still searching for the 10.3 disk).
Is this an issue with OS X 10.2.8? Given the drive is detected by the System Information section and by the Disk Utility, is there a way of forcing Finder to display it (and allow access)?

Sometimes I have found that I have to turn of the ext. hd and then reconnect the firewire cables. there is a cylinder that is an inch away from one of the firewire plugs, which should be connected toward the tower and the other firewire plug toward the ext. hd. have patience, sometimes it will show up. also a restart maybe...

Bad hard disks may not be dead after all.

I had a problem with a Tiger install - explained here -
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8714240#8714240
and as a result, have found a way of 'saving' the original G5 disk, which to all intents and purposes was dead and buried.
I have a working PC and came across a software application called ''HDD Regenerator''. This scans for and repairs 'bad sectors' which were found on the disk in question. There were a fair few of them.
These were 'fixed' by the regenerator and since then I have used this disk as a backup. It works well and have had no problems with it since.
This procedure is worth one's while if you can knobble someone with a pc and get this sftware. It is a straight-forward and a fairly quick application.
Bad sectors were a common ocurrance/factor with older hdds.
B.S. are areas of the disk that are bad, ie. damaged or have lost their ability to keep their 'identity' - a negative or positive charge - a one or a zero - . Most of the windows OSs can and do have a utility to write a 'warning' or set a flag thus preventing data from being written to these areas. This is termed as recovering bad sectors.
One has to initiate this procedure with older drives whereas with present disks it is done by the hdd itself.
I do not know if the Apple OSs have this capability/utility built into them or are hidden somewhere - to write warnings about BS - but think not.
The hdd that I had in the G5[2005] was 'old', comparitively.
don't give up on that 'dead' hard disk. It may be repairable.

Just as an addendum: The software mentioned Hdd Reg. is designed _specifically to do a very specialised job. I wonder if DW and Techtool aren't ''really'' up to this level of ability.
BS can not be skipped.
They must be isolated and there must be a definitive warning to prevent data being written to these ''individuals'.
I do appreciate your caution and concern regarding the reliability of a regenerated disk, but weighing up the outcome thus farm with my experience has led me to the continual useage of HDD regenerator and seemingly failing disks.
There are 2 reasons why a disk will have BS. One is: the armature that picks up and delivers data[reads and writes] is causing actual physical damage to the surface of the hd and usually in this case a drive will fail within a short space of time anyway. The other reason for BS, is poor quality materials used at the 'molecular' level. The 'bits' of data are stored on a material that is/can be magnetic - thus 0, 1 - or positive and negative -ie. an electrical charge -. if the charge will not or does not hold or the area just becomes 'unusable' because of these inconsistancies - data cannot be written here in a 'true' manner- it becomes and is a BS.
This is only a synopsis about BS and the potential for BSes.
Google, for more info.

Disk Burner Not Found

High hard disk temperature

I have a intel core 2 duo iMac (the last of the white ones, IIRC.)
I installed Folding@Home on it to help cure cancer and other good stuff, and have it running almost 24/7 (I'm planning to leave it off/asleep one night a week).
iStat menus reports CPU temp at 62-ish C and hard disk at 51. Ambient temp is 25, CPU fan is going at 1509 RPM, hard drive fan going at 1200 RPM, and Optical drive fan going at 1332 RPM (or is that max capable? Because I don't have anything in the optical drive atm...)
Should I be worried about leaving my computer at these temperatures long-term?

Hi Joshz
51 C is well with most drive manufactures operating spec. of 60 C.
The first thing I would do is shutdown, vacuum and clean out the HD air intake on the back under the stand and the grill work along the bottom to be sure they are not clogged with dust. Then if the HD temp settles in at less than 50 C, I'd say your good to go.
You can tweak the iMac's over all cooling with smcFanControl...

If you do decide to use smcFanControl to run up the HD fan, my experience has been that you only need a few hundred RPM to make a difference.

Iomega external hard drive either 'not found' by Time Machine or is now in 'read only' format

I don't know what's going on with my iomega external hard drive. Sometimes the HD is recognised by the computer; other times it isn't; if it isn't I can restore to an earlier back up via Time Machine app; but it's like the disk isn't writable.
Ten days ago, I had trouble backing up my iMac using Time Machine. After turning it off and restarting my external hard drive, it backed up successfully.
However, today I am trying to back up my files, and TM tells me it can't find the external hard drive. Nothing has changed -- I have been out of town this past week -- but somehow my HD now seems to be in 'read only' format. It does turn on, and I could restore my computer to an earlier back up.
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Annoyingly, despite my HD not showing in Finder or on my Desktop (as it usually does), when I simply turn it off I get that warning message "The disk was not ejected properly".
Have tried verifying and repairing using Disk Utility, to no avail.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it. I'm guessing this would wipe the disk clean and I'd have to create the initial back up image all over again -- I'm reluctant to do this since this HD is my only back up and if it all goes tits up I'll be up that famous creek without a paddle.
Thoughts, suggestions, input all welcome and deeply appreciated -- thank you!

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.

That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.
