Imac not recognize camera as hard drive Nikon D3100

Hey,
So my Nikon D3100 used to come up as a Hard Drive device... which I liked as it stored my images under the one folder (D3100).
Now that it dosnt do that I cant view the folders that was within the D3100 folder.
When I first connect the camera either SD Card or USB nothing is recognised... If I click on iphoto the latest photos will come up but my main goal here is to be able to view past folders with all the other images.
Is there any other way of trying to see these older folders or just see it as a hard drive instead of iphoto?
So pretty much when I used to connect my camera It came up on finder window under divces - D3100. Click on the device it would have folder - Latest then the next folders would be since I last connect my camera with the folder date.... so really I cant see any images from the past.
I have looked threw my settings on my camera cant seem to find anything except a "storage folder" named D3100.
Is there any other way of finding these older images that seem to be sitting on this "D3100" hardrive?
Im running OSX 10.9.2
Yeah I know I should have backed up.... I did but hardrive storage is packed away.
Thank you so much and I hope this helps others.

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.

  • Bios will not recognize the entire Hard Drive

    I am running a MSI P7N SLI Platinum right out of the box. This is an entirely new build. For some reason when I go to install Windows XP, my entire hard drive space is not listed. My hard drive is 320GB and it will only recognize 130GB of it. How do I fix this problem. I am completely new at building a system so try and keep it simple please. I will admit that I am terrified at the idea of flashing my BIOS. I dont want to void the warranty nor do I want to destroy the board and have to buy a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have listed my specs below.

    Oh, there is the rest of my Hard Drive. To allocate, I just right click and hit "New Partition" and follow the steps? Furthermore, do I need to make this an extended partition or primary? I am just going to use this larger partition for storing programs and games.
    Also, my driver for my hard drive is 7 years old. Think I should update the driver?
    "Also, my driver for my hard drive is 7 years old. Think I should update the driver?"
    Nope, just install chipset drivers for your board.
    "Oh, there is the rest of my Hard Drive. To allocate, I just right click and hit "New Partition" and follow the steps?"
    Yes
    "Furthermore, do I need to make this an extended partition or primary?"
    Extended. When its done right click and format the newest partition in NTFS.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

    I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro.  I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive.  When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine.  So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did).  Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all.  First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive?  It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

    My hard drive is now connected.  But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one.  Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

  • 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

  • Disk utility & TechTool Pro will not recognize volumes on hard drive

    My Powerbook G4 will not start up. This is what happens:
    1. Startup chime
    2. Hard drive starts to make a constant 'pause-click, pause-click' like a skipping vinyl record sound
    3. Then I only get as far as the flashing question mark on screen
    I have disconnected all peripherals. I have booted up from install CD and used *Disk Utility* and it does not recognize the hard drive, only the CDR drive. I have booted from the Apple Hardware Test CD. All hardware passes. I have booted off the *TechTool Pro CD* and tried to run the entire suite of diagnositc tests. All hardware passes, all drives pass, but when I get to Volumes and Files, none are recognized. I have tried to get to the *Startup Manager*, but I can't get to that point either, only as far as the flashing question mark. I would like to be able to salvage data from the harddrive, so haven't tried to reinstall software and OS.
    It seems to me that the hard drive is probably dead and I probably need to replace it, but is there any hope to recover data from the old hard drive
    Any suggestions on what else I might try or on confirming my tentative diagnosis, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply Tom,
    I mostly save my work related documents on external flash drives or zip drive media, so my most important data for the most part is backed up. However, I had gotten a bit unattentive with personal interest stuff, like photos, music etc. I'll probably think of something important months from now and realize it was only on that drive, but for now I am most concerned about my downloaded emails and email addressbook. I never thought to back those up. Makes me want to stop running Thunderbird and keep all my emails online. Anyway I have some recent business inquiry emails from new contacts that are stuck on that drive. Can't recall the exact name of the organization this person was with. Aghh.
    Think there is any use trying one of those data recovery programs to see if I could extract some information from the disk?
    I am realizing that I will probably need a new hard drive to get the computer running . A friend's dad who is a computer teacher (though mostly PC but has kids with Macs so he's been working with Macs a bit and learning) mentioned the possibility of putting in a new hard drive as the start up drive then installing the old one as a secondary hard drive so I can try to access my data that way. Think that sounds like a feasible option to try? Perhaps I could run the recovery within that configuration. Worth a try? Pointless?
    I appreciate any words of wisdom or commiseration.
    Thanks,
    Applangel

  • 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)

  • Power Mac G4 will not Recognize any Internal Hard Drives

    My G4 was working fine and I wanted to install a driver for a 'Twin Turbo Mac Video Card' I had in a PCI slot but it required OS9 running. At the time, I had two internal drives 230 and 120 G running 10.4.11 but no OS9. However, I did have an external Firewire Drive with OS9 and OSX. I set my "Startup Disk" preference to boot from FW drive and selected OS9 then shut down my G4. When I powered back on I got the standard "gong" but on my display I saw a "Mac Folder and a Question Mark". I believe that means the system can't find a drive. Is that correct? I reverted back to my original configuration with the internal drives and the FW drive disconnected and I still see the "Folder and Question Mark". I inserted the Tiger DVD, held down the "C" key and it still will not boot from the DVD either. I once again tried connecting a FireWire External drive with OS 10.4.11 installed and the internal drives disconnected and still no bootup. I swapped out Memory, replaced the Motherboard and the battery and even tried resetting the PRAM. Still that stupid Question Mark is showing!! This has really got me puzzled. Any ideas or suggestions out there?

    Depressing/holding the Option key at startup activates the Startup Manager (not open firmware). The resulting window shows all of the available startup volumes (hard drives, CD, DVD, etc).

  • I have a mid-2010 27" Quad Core i5 iMac running 10.8.3.  Startup disk recognizes the primary hard drive as a startup volume but will not boot from it.  Have tried zapping PRAM, ran disk utility.  No errors reported  Any thoughts?

    My bad Eric. The startup preference recognizes the primary as a 10.8.3 startup volume but when u select it the system does not boot. I can only boot from my external backup drive

  • Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

    My iMac stopped to recognize an external hard drive. What might be a reason?

    Hi,
    This happens often because the processes that run over the MacOS, but the power was not enough to power your device. Actually this happens with external hard drives on any platform. Sometimes the USB port is not enough or even energizes permissions MacOS fumble.
    When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window and select your external drive and click in First Aid tab and repair disk.
    Good Luck,

  • Switched on my imac 24inch intel based and all I get on screen is a folder with question mark flashing,I had backup on external hard drive but when I try to reinstall it can not find my mac hard drive

    Hi when I started my intel based imac this morning all I am getting is a folder with question mark in the middle flashing,I have external hard drive with backup,but when run disc utilities it does not show my mac hard drive.hope someone can help.(it's running mountain lion, well it was)

    Try starting up your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    The question mark folder indicates your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
