HP TouchPad does not appear as USB drive on mac os x lion

Hi.
Before the last update I was on 3.0.4 version of the webOS and my HP TouchPad would appear as a USB drive on my mac (running OSX Lion). But since the 3.0.5 update when I plug in the TouchPad and select to mount it as a USB drive it complains that it is not recognised and gives me the option to "Initialise ..."
What is going on?
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102ueu (Unlocked EU)

It seems to me that 10.7.3 update, or something that was updated in the past two months is causing this issue. It's an osx issue, as I know for certain my unit will mount on an older version of the os, but not on my recently updated Lion.
It used to work on Lion, but no more. Preware will load however - but the device will not mount.

Thank you so much! what a swift reply - I am amazed! but my main problem is trying to transfer an app bought in iTunes to my desktop Mac. I thought 'seeing' the iPod in Devices would make it easier, but I am stuck... Can you help?

Adobe PS CS4 does not "see" my USB Drives in Finder

For some bizarre reason, PS CS4 is no longer "finding" my USB 2TB drive in the Finder/Devices window on my iMac (nothing is showing in devices). However, it is seeing my my WD NAS drives, and if I go into Finder on my own, it shows the USB drives. The WD drives are a 2TB MyBook, and a 3TB MyCloud. I have had some issues with _those_ drives showing up in Finder but its usually a WD firmware issue... and its usually the older MyBook drive that gives me problems. Anyway... the aforementioned 2TB USB drive also appears (as it should) on the RHS of my iMac screen. The drive is working just fine, and I have tried powering off the computer and the USB drive... still doesn't show using Photoshop. I can search within finder for the file I want, and right-click to open in "Adobe Photoshop" but I'm so used to grabbing, editing, and saving files from within CS4 that I'm baffled that this drive all of a sudden can't be "seen" from within PS CS4. Previously it had been, so I have to assume its some settings or preferences issue?

As noted above, I am now able to "see" the missing USB drive(s) in Finder so that seems to be resolved. However, a few new issues have cropped up:
1. Not all my installed fonts are in my font listing, but I'll assume I can easily remedy that by activating them (I hope). I have the sneaking suspicion I deleted some by mistake.
2. Safari seems to have gone weird... the upper section is flashing like crazy when I try to type in a URL, also the sidebars flash when I scroll up or down with mouse. I've installed Chrome so I have a stable browser for the time being.
3. No matter what I seem to do in preferences, every new image I open does so within the same window so I have to manually drag it out to compare images. How do I fix that permanently?
4. When I first opened PS this morning I kept getting some sort of error popup that couldn't complete the request?
Is it safe now to remove the new user account?

Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.

Late 2008 macbook pro 8Gb ram 750Gb HDD 2.8Ghz intel duo-core with OSX 10.9 (partition with Windows 7 ultamate)
I am experiancing a whole host of issues with installing windows on my mac, frst of all the genuine product key that I bought directly from microsoft does not work. Also my trackpad is partially broken so I can only tap to click which means that I have to use my external trackpad to use the computer in windows 7. Therefore I have tried to set windows 7 to tap to click but could not find the way to change that and the fourms said I could change it throuh the Bootcamp settings but bootcamp doesent appear anywhere in the search field and the icon is missing from the task bar and so is the arrow for showing hidden icons. As it is I can't get anywhere with this machine. Will someone please help me!

Hal 0.5.14-1 does not mount some usb drives correctly

Hi folks
When I try to mount a USB hard disk (with KDE 4.3.4), it tries to mount it at some wrong path used by another USB hard disk. Or I have to mount it as root, or even as root it still doesn't work right... pfff I'm really disappointed by this showstopper...
For example, I own a LaCie hard disk (/media/disk), a Iomega one (/media/IOMEGA) and a LaCie mobile disk (no power cable, /media/MobileDisk):
- When I try to mount the Iomega one, it works fine, as normal user;
- When I try to mount the LaCie one, it fails, independently of the fact that the Iomega drive is mounted or not, with the following message:
Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder file:///media/IOMEGA does not exist.
Looks like it wants to mount the LaCie one where the Iomega one is/should be mounted...
- When I connect the LaCie hard disk, the directory /media/MobileDisk
is created, instead of /media/disk
, and when as root I try to manually mount the hard disk, it says:
ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory
Maybe there's some erroneous entry in some cache or data used by hal/dbus? I don't know how they work and how to activate their logging systems and then where to find the logs...
Maybe there's a way to simply completely wipe out hal/dbus/consolekit/policykit/... configuration data without having to reinstall the complete system?
I have:
hal 0.5.14-1
dbus-core 1.2.16-1
dbus 1.2.16-1
dbus-glib 0.82-2
dbus-python 0.83.0-2
I start KDM using /etc/inittab, as described in the wiki. I've put "/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon" in /etc/rc.local and have modified /etc/inittab so that it starts kdm with: "x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon"!
Is this the right setup, equivalent to the one with xinitrc?
The same setup works fine on my laptop.
I've got the impression that hal/dbus/... confounds my drives and does not know where to mount them...
Downgrading to hal 0.5.13-idontrememberwhatcifer does not solve the issue, the system is kept up to date with "pacman -Syu" about once a day and it still doesn't work...
Some clue?
Thanks and happy new year

OK something happened that I can't explain...
I just controlled about all files related to hal/dbus/mounting etc and, I don't know why, all devices I've mounted had a corresponding line in fstab... really weird.
I juste deleted those lines, and, well, mounting seems to work again
So this issue is solved
And finally Arch Linux is again my favorite distro

Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD

Hi all,
I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
--T

It is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).
So you're in Japan too?

[SOLVED] Thunar (XFCE4) Does not Auto-mount USB Drive

After reading some posts related to USB auto-mounting in Thunar and yet still having the problem, I decided to post this. Thunar used to detect the USB drives and auto-mount them. These days (I GUESS after moving to systemd), It cannot do so. Still, there is the icon of USB drive on the left side panel, but when I click on it to browse it, I get this error:
Failed to mount "USB_LABLE".
Error when getting information for file
'/media/usbhd-sdc1': Transport endpoint is not connected.
I am still able to use "sudo mount..." and get the job done, but I would prefer the convenient way it used to work. Here are some information about my system:

I'd rather not edit the /etc/fstab; the way Thunar used to behave, was working with every new USB. I wonder if anybody can shed some lights.

The error looks suspiciously like one I had not so long ago and it turned out I still had an 11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rule in /etc/udev/rules.d. Once I removed that and rebooted everything was fine again.

Bootcamp does not see replacement DVD drive in Mac Pro3,1

Recently purchased LG Super-Multi Drive - Mac Pro Kit 24X 5.25" Internal DVD/CD Writer from OWC and installed it in lower DVD drive according to the manuel provided including wire to Sata plug in Mac Pro3,1. A difference is that Top of 2 DVD ports has a faulty drawer door so I have removed the original Apple DVD device from it.
I now have DVD access/play using LG in Mountain Lion with bottom Drive but none at all in Boot Camped Windows 7 or 8 which do not see the SATA drive in lower drawer.
Wondering if there is any fix for this.

My Latest email back & forth with OWC:
My Mac Pro is 3,1 early 2008. My understanding before purchase was that it would work in Mt. Lion and Windows.
Is there anyone who knows how to make this work?
This is a very well known issue that was discovered shortly after the 2006 Mac Pro first shipped.
Sincerely,
OWC Andy

Live type does not appear in hard drive

I'm in the middle of reinstalling Live Type on my computer. I deleted it earlier today, trashing everything that had "Live Type" in its name, and have tried reinstalling the software from the original discs.
I have two discs ("Live Type Data" 1 of 2 and "Live Type Data" 2 of 2) that I've tried to reinstall. I get the dialog boxes indicating that the discs are installing on the computer's hard drive, then after about 50 minutes, I get a message that "Installation was successful!" with a green check mark. After both discs were installed successfully, I restarted the computer (although there was no instruction to do that), but the software's icon didn't appear in my Applications folder. When I use "Find" to look for anything with "Live Type," all I get are files of previous titles that I'd created.
Is the application software on another disc and I'm only loading the "media" for the software's use?
A while ago, I installed only the first disc, but I still had the software's icon appear in my Applications folder.
Is the Live Type application software stored on my FCE 1 (or FCE 3) installation disc.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Gary

Final Cut Studio 3 no longer includes LiveType. Its functionality has been incorporated into Motion.
I just got Final Cut Studio HD and was surprised it didn't have LiveType, which I love. I learned Final Cut at a college and they had LiveType. Still doing the install as we speak, but just wondering: Is it JUST AS EASY and fun in Motion as LiveType or is it way more involved? Is there any way to get LiveType?

Canvio External Hard Drive does not appear in MY COMPUTER

Sorry if the subject is in wrong section of the forum.
I bought an External Hard Drive to use with my Windows 7 laptop. When connecting, sounds like a new device is connected, also appears listed in DEVICES & PRINTERS, but does not appear in MY COMPUTER, becoming impossible to access it anyhow.
Procedures about how to format or change device letter (in DISK MANAGEMENT), although the device has been also shown there, haven't work.
"Drivers" are listed as updated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Jerry, thanks for trying to help.
I download the KillDisk as your adviced.
The Hardware appears there like:
Hard Disk 2 (82h) TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 - [DEVICE IS NOT READY]
Local Disk (2 - [DRIVE IS NOT READY]
Available actions for each are: Mark / Unmark / Refresh.
Any possibility of it is broken, or something?

Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB

Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
my usb devices are: keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

Printer driver for lexmark x6570 does not appear in printer setup utility

Hi
I have just bought a lexmark x6570 wireless printer and have installed the driver on my powerbook, set up the printer (using a usb lead as instructed) but am unable to print anything as the printer driver does not appear in the printer setup utility. I have even tried to move the folder that was created on the desktop to the printer folder in the library folder but still no joy.
Someone help me please!

Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
Any ideas?

Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.
