How come IMAC does not recognize my Seagate hard drive that I used to use on my PC...I have a lot of documents on this that I need to use

Could you help me, I would like to use my Seagate hard drive that I used on my PC on my IMAC but It does not recognize it and I have a lot of documents I need on this small hard drive....

Please provide more information. Do you mean the drive cannot be seen in Finder or on the Desktop? If it is visible in the Finder sidebar but not the Desktop you just have a setting to correct Finder - Preferences - General Tab and make sure External Disks is checked.

My imac does not recognize an external hard drive

I have bought an USB external drive but my Imac does not recognize it,
the external hard drive does not appear in the desktop neither disk utilities.
characteristics of the disk
toshiba, 1TB, USB 3.0
thanks

The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

LR 5 does not recognize my external hard drive. It has recognized this drive in the past. No help at any Adobe site.

My external HD contains photos I have worked on in the past.
Additionally, I have added photos to LR5 directly onto my Mac HD. (38
photos added when working in the absence of my external HD)
Presently, in the Library mode, the Le Cie external HD is not seen in the
upper left hand corner "Source" location.
The only way to "see" the La Cie HD and its photos is in the "Import" mode.
These photos have previously been imported.
I wish to use the La Cie HD as my source in the Library mode and proceed to
the Develop mode.
In other words, work on my previously imported, previously worked on
photos, now on the La Cie.

I can not find my seagate hard drive that contain my time machine back ups how do i do that?

my airport extreme can not locate my seagate hard drive with all my back ups how do i fix this i need to restore some settings?

As Bob says, that's problematical.
If you were backing-up to that drive while it was directly-connected to your Mac, and now want to move it to your Airport, there's an extra problem. See the blue box in #E2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If you had previously been backing-up to the drive over your network, the backups may be corrupted (that happens rather often, and is the reason it's not recommended). If so, you may be able to repair them, per #A5 in the same article.
Or, you may need to reset the Airport. See Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.

Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)

Server Essentials R2 does not recognize two new Hard Drives

I have a fresh install of Windows Server Essentials R2. The installation went fine and the Operating System is on a 250 GB SATA Drive. Up to this point everything went well. However, I have added two new 3 TB SATA Internal
Hard Drives that I cannot get the Server Operating System to recognize at all. I want to use these two new HDs as my primary storage for the Client Computers. The BIOS does see the two Drives but the Operating System does not see them, meaning that
no message came up when I installed them from the OS, they don't show up in "Computer" or the "Storage/Computer Management" plug-in of "Administrative Tools". What is happening here? I've tried everything that
I can think of, but with no luck. Please assist with this issue. Thank you.

GPT if i'm not wrong will support large partitions.
I have enabled GPT on my server, and I formatted the drives using NTFS.
check out link below, it's not Microsoft site but it will give you an idea.
text below is from this link: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/233291-32-what-difference
Here's what the site says:
MBR
is the standard partitioning scheme that's been used on hard disks since the PC first came out. It supports 4 primary partitions per hard drive, and
a maximum partition size of 2TB.
GPT disks are new, and are readable only by Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows Vista (all versions), and Windows XP x64 Edition.
The GPT disk itself can support a volume up to 2^64 blocks in length. (For 512-byte blocks, this is 9.44 ZB - zettabytes. 1 ZB is 1 billion terabytes). It can also support theoretically unlimited partitions.
Windows restricts these limits further to 256 TB for a single partition (NTFS limit), and 128 partitions.
Only Itanium systems running Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista systems with an EFI BIOS can boot from a GPT disk. The other operating systems mentioned
earlier can use GPT disks as data disks but not boot disks.
For more information on GPT, see Problems
with larger than 2TB arrays in the General Storage forum, and see Windows
and GPT FAQ for additional information.

My macbook does not recognize my external hard drive

I have a brand new external drive which I have already formatted in FAT32 and previously used in my MBP with no issues at all. From a couple of days ago though it simply ceased to appear on my Desktop, Finder or Disk Utility. It is, however, recognized in the System Profiler or System Configuration when I click on the USB port tab. No physical damaged has been applied to the HD, and the light turns on normally, making a perfectly normal noise. As I said, it used to run just fine on my MBP, and even on other Mac computers and PC's.
I took it to a store with Apple technical support, they plugged it into one of the store's Macbooks and, surprise surprise, it magically appeared and worked perfectly. They even tried it on a Windows PC and ran just fine. Came back home, turned my computer on, connected it and the problem persists....
Any ideas?... Can you help me?
My specs are:
15'' Macbook Pro 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz processor and 8GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.8 fully updated
Western Digital Hard Drive - WE Elements SE Portable WDBPCK0010BBK-01

Did you get a solution for this issue ? I have the same HD which works fine on two other Mac Book pros (Snow leopard and mountain Lion) but does not work on a brand new mac book pro with Mavericks

IMac does not see my external hard drive after recent update

Is there a reason why my external hard drive is not being 'seen' by my iMac after the most recent update to the system?

managed to solve it myself after reading some other information on other forums.
Powered hard drive and iMac down, plugged hard drive in, turned on iMac, connected hard drive. Bingo.

My iMac does not recognize external hard drive

My iMac does not recognize my external hard drive. Disk utility recognizes it and a test of the hard drive does not review any error. I use the hard drive as a back up for the time machine. This problem comes and goes. It comes when I turn off and turn on the computer, with the hard drive attached.
Please help.
Insightful

can be this reasons
01 , you have problem with connection ? check the port if you can find any problems physically .
02. if not try to change the cable and with connection ,
03. may be its good idea to check the hard drive with another mac ?(if you have )
Did you note any diference of sound from Hard Drive ? listen to it that carefully to note some unusual sound comes when the hard drive works.
check this link this might usefull: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjgOSxKy-FQ

Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.

IMac does not recognize all photos in iPad photostream

My new imac does not recognize all the pictures in my ipad photostream. I have over 800 pix in my ipad photostream and imac will only recognize 300 when i have it plugged in to import. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I just spoke with my wife who imported the pictures last night just from that event. She did not delete them after importing either. I guess next time this happens I will uncheck the box that says "Do not import duplicates" to troubleshoot.

TS2570 iMac does not recognize wifi keyboard and track pad... cursor stays in top left corner under apple ?...

iMac does not recognize wifi keyboard and track pad... cursor stays in top left corner under apple ?...

Phillip,
I had this problem recently with a 3-year old Mac Pro intel, which was eventually replaced by Apple due to myriad other problems. When the frozen mouse happened, there was nothing I could do. Very frustrating to have the screen boot and the cursor is up there stuck, on the top left corner of the screen. Frozen. I called support several times. They were amazed. At one point they had me buy a cheap USB mouse (I was using a wireless mouse from Logitech and they thought there might be some kind of conflict). The USB mouse didn't work, either. Neither did an Apple mouse when I went out to buy one.
I ended up driving 70 miles to take the Mac to an Apple Store. I think they reinstalled the (Leopard) system in some secret way, because when the mouse was frozen so was everything else and I couldn't open the disk drive to put the OSX disk in there.
Why I'm here right now is that the same thing happened today with my NEW 3-month-old REPLACEMENT MAC PRO using its brand new wireless mouse, and I was hoping to find some insight. Again, a frozen cursor after the boot. Same top-left corner of the screen. Unlike you, when I click the mouse nothing happens -- no drop down.
Luckily, when I hard-rebooted by holding the button in, the mouse cursor came back. This time. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off. Been there done that before. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
