I can't see my CD Rom Drive

Hi all, i'm new in ipod, and i'm desperate and need help!!!
When i open iTunes without my iPod connected, i see my cd-rom drive in the source, when i connect mt iPod, cd-rom drive disappears from source and can't see my cd-rom in "my computer" either... What's the problem how can i get rid of this irritating problem?
Already tried re-installing my cd-rom drive and itunes.. doesn't help...

First try changing your drive letter of your cd rom say to drive r: then attach your ipod and see if that works could be a sharing violation.

  • I can't see my external hard drive on the network.

    I can't see my external hard drive on the network. I have a WRT160NL router with USB. I plugged the drive in the USB and set up a share in the router config.

    Did you map the drive? It won't show up in Explorer automatically like a jump drive or an external drive plugged directly into the PC will.
    You didn't mention the OS you're running, but what you want to do is choose "Map a network drive" and you'll see the router listed as a network device. Click on it and you should see the external drive listed. You can map it from there. 

  • Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

    Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    Buy Paragon NTFS for OS X $20.

  • Migration Assistant can't see my external hard drive.

    Migration Assistant can't see my external hard drive with my back-up info on it. I need to migrate my user data from an older back-up ( OS X 10.4.11) to a recently installed OS X 10.5.8 system on a Mac Pro.  The external drive is not bootable.  Any ideas?

    Great news, thanks!

  • MBP 5.5 can't see my new Hard drive

    MBP 5.5 can't see my new Hard drive even though its running Mavericks off the new Hard Drive through a usb cradle

    I've seen suffienct posts on this site to not argue about the problems with SATA cables, however it sounds like what you're saying is that the SATA cable is bandwidth limited. The types of things I remember reading about are actual breaks in the cable, rendering it useless for all drives, or the insulation wearing off. In the latter, it's on units where the cable crosses over an optical drive and starts intermittently shorting out on the case. If this happens the user typically gets data corruption, but the drive is usually seen and visible.
    On the other hand, I do software development and we have to be able to boot numerous versions of MacOS. For reasons known only to God (and Apple, I hope) once in a while the NVRAM seems to get mixed up and ends up being unable to see the boot drive. Doing the resets always corrects the problem.
    I wouldn't dismiss your recommendation of replacing the cable, but the resets are free and easily done.
    Another freebee to try would be to hold down the "alt' key before powering on the unit, turn on the power, and then, while holding down the alt key, see if the drive shows up as a bootable drive. This will only work if there's an OS installed on the drive.
    In my opinion, it's always best to try the free things before going out and buying anything.

  • I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC

    I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC, I have connected to the USB port on my TC but cannot see it , any ideas

    Hello Bob,
    I have a powered hub plugged into my Time Capsule.
    Into the powered hub I have a printer; printer works fine.
    Into the powered hub I have an ExFAT formatted disk.
    The ExFAT disk is seen in the AirPort Utility as an "AirPort Disk".
    I cannot see the ExFAT disk in Finder or in Window's "My Computer".
    When I plug the ExFAT drive directly into Mac or Windows computers the drive is seen in Finder and My Computer.
    When the ExFAT drive is plugged directly into Mac or Windows both can read and write files.
    Do you think that I need to format the USB ExFAT drive as FAT 32?
    I have heard mention "need to map the drive". Do you think this would help?
    Thank you for your time.
    Rob

  • Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

    Hi all,
    I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer  large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
    Many thanks in advance!

    If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
    For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I see my external hard drive?

    For 2 years or more I've had an external hrad drive to back up my Imac. One day I got a message that there had not beeb a back up for for a really long time  ( I have it on automatic).
    Ever since, I have not been able to see the external hard drive on mi Imac and have not been able to do regular back ups.
    First I turned off, on, restart computer and tried to see if it showed up on another computer, which it did.
    What could the problem be?  It was working just fine.
    Please help
    Thanks

    EHD's can crash. First thing I'd recommend though is to do 2-3 SMC resets. Shut down the computer, then remove the power cord from both the wall plug and back of the computer, wait 15-20 seconds and restart normally and test.
    If that fails use another cable to connect the drive, if that fails open Disk Utility and see if the EHD can be seen. If that fails then replace the drive. I would STRONGLY recommend 2 backups, use Time Machine on disk 1 and then use a create a clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner on the other drive. When it comes to backing up, redundancy is smart. Would you trust your bank if  they only had one form of backup of all your money??

  • I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

    I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

    I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

  • I can't see my external hard drive in the event library.

    I need to move my Imovie to a external hard drive to free up space.
    I can not view the external hard drives in the Event libary of Imovie.
    I have formated the hard drive to mac os
    PLEASE help urgent

    Strange if the drive format is Mac extended (journalled).  (see:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c)
    Can you can see the external drive in the finder? 
    Can you read to and write from it with the finder?
    Have you tried Trashing the iMovie preferences file and re-launching?
    Geoff,

  • Time Machine can't see my external hard drive

    Time Machine won't show me any backup disk options other than  "Set up Time Capsule".  When I click on that, it searches for AirPort wireless which I do not have installed.  How do I get Time Machine to see my external hard drive connected via Fire Wire?  I went into Disk Utility and it showed the external drive was there.  Backups had been working previously.

    I don't know the answer but I have the same thing happen. I have two external drives I use for backup. Sometimes it can see one and sometimes another. Then sometimes it can't see either one.  I will take one out for a while then plug it back in and then it may see it.  Maybe it's a cable issue or something but I will be curious to hear what someone more knowledgeable says. 

  • Can't see shared Airport USB Drive on Network

    I have a AirPort Extreme (5th Generation) with a USB drive attached. I am using OS 10.9.2 on my desktop and laptop. I can see the drive on my desktop Mac which has a ethernet connection to the Airport, but my laptop can't see the shared drive. I used Airport Utility (under "Disk" Tab) to Enable file sharing and share disks over WAN. I have set the "Secure Shared Disks" to "With a disk Password."  On the laptop, I have set Finder preferences to see "External disks."
    However, the disk does not show up on the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or "Shared."
    Any suggestions on how I can make this "Shared Drive" visible?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Also make sure that Finder Preferences is set to show Connected Servers on the desktop.
    Restart the entire network as well by powering everything off, waiting a minute, then starting the modem first, followed by the next device connected to the modem, etc until everything is powered back up.

  • Can't see files on external drive

    I have been FTPing files using Filezilla from my server to external driver. I can not see the specific files or folder (call it foo) on my hard drive using Finder).
    I initially thought that the files did not transfer, so tried again. Filezilla though keeps on seeing the files and of course asks Do I want to overwrite them?" So how do I change my settings to actually see those files. Note, I have changed my preferences to "see all files."
    Thanks

    Oh boy. Excuse me for my mistake. Yes I am in the wrong place. I have my 250Gig Westernal digital hard drive connected to my macbook pro.
    Yeah it's weird. But as I said, Fileziller seems to see it and I have a test site running on one host's server that is fine. When I went FTP the files (they are drupal). Everything comes over except my one folder where all my images are.
    So do you want me to post this in the leopard forum?

  • I can not see my Seagate Extreme driver attached to the Airport from XP

    I have a Seagate drive connected to the Airport USB port. I can see the drive from the Airport Utility but I can't even see it in XP.
    I have tried mapping a drive \\10.0.1.1\Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342 (and lots of variations)
    and I have tried \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Any ideas?

    What model airport with what firmware??
    Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342
    This is not a valid network name. Please change the share name of the seagate disk to something simple.. like seagate.
    \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Do you have airport utility for windows installed.. this will make life much easier.
    Are you using wireless?? Do you have internet via the AE?
    In windows explorer type the address as you did in run.. if it doesn't connect are you sure you have the IP correct?
    Please ping it from the command window.
    If it responds to pings but you still cannot open it.. Airport utility can open the AE, then the firewall is set .. turn off all the firewalls.
    What format do you have on the disk? Can you see the drive and access it from a Mac??

  • I can not see my external hard drive that is hooked to my airport extreme

    I have hooked my iOmega 1tb hard drive to my airport extreme but can not see it on my macbook pro. need help to set this up

    This is unsupported by Apple. You must configure Airport Utility to turn enable File Sharing of the drive in Sharing preferences and in the AEBS configuration. Then you have to "mount" the drive on your Desktop by selecting Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu.
