Iphoto can't see my external drive

Hi,
I want all my photo's from Iphoto to go on an external drive I have. But if I click on Export and have to chose a place then I can't click on my external drive because it's not there on the list on the left side...
Is there an other why to move all my photo's to my external drive?

The question should be 'what's wrong with the external drive'
Can you see it in other programs? can you see it in Disk Utility?

  • Can't see my external drive anymore after updating to 10.5.5

    Hi! Another problem after updating to 10.5.5: I can't see my external drive anymore. It's a lacie quadra, plugged to my iMac via firewire 800.
    Really hope they fix this update really soon...
    Any of you knows how much time Apple usually takes to solve upgrade bugs like these we're all experiencing with 10.5.5? Do they do it fast?

    Hi Barry, I'll eventually do, but there are other people that have had the same problem right after upgrading to 10.5.5. I really think it's an os x bug, just like the other graphic problems that people are reporting now.
    I think Apple should take these reports quite seriously.
    Anyway, also think that probably these bugs are confined to iMac intel, as some one else pointed out before in this forum, because some friends of mine upgrading their MacPro, didn't have any trouble.
    Bye!

  • My second macbook can't see my external drive.

    I have the following setup:
    -a Macbook that is wirelessly connected to my home network
    -Macbook Pro that is wirelessly connected to my home network
    -a 500g HD connected directly to my Macbook Pro that I am using for Time Machine.
    Initially, I was having issues with my Macbook Pro successfully completing a backup. My Macbook (which is not physically connected to my external HD) had no problems backing up. After a great deal of frustration, I decided that there may be some problems with my HD so I reformated and repartitioned the drive to a single drive with journaling. Fortunately, now my Time Machine works with my Macbook Pro but I'm having major issues with my Macbook.
    For some reason, my Macbook can no longer see my Macbook Pro, nor my external hard drives I am using for Time Machine and a second external I was hoping to use to share my iPhoto library between the two computers.
    (I'm worried that I've done so much that I may have caused the problems but don't want to undo anything for fear that I'll once again mess things up with the Macbook Pro).
    For the Time Machine HD, I've selected SHARE. When I use Time Machine on the Macbook, the drive (which was at one time visible) is not there.
    For the new External that I was using for iPhoto, I've Shared, selected Ignore Ownership, and even added my wife's name with Read and Write privledges. But the macbook still can't see either drive.
    What is confusing me is that my Macbook can still SHARE the Macbook Pro's screen. Yet when I look at the drive it just says connection failed.
    I'm new to Macs so I'm not familiar with setting up. I've just tried to use what I would do with a PC.
    ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    Is there a "How to" somewhere?
    I'd recommend getting this book from David Pogue. He devotes pages and pages to this subject alone. Here is a Google excerpt. Enjoy!

  • How can I see my external drive again after installing mavericks?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my Mac Book Air to Mavericks and I cannot see my external hard drives any more. The data is still there and can be read on other computers. Regular USB keys are also detected.
    What should be done so that the external hard drive become "visible" again with Mavericks?
    Thank you very much and regards,

    Hi Niel,
    Unfortunately, the box was already checked. I tried to "uncheck" and "check it again", but it still does not work.
    What else can be done?
    Thank you very much and regards,

  • Go Flex TV media player can no longer see the external drive on my airport

    Hi there I have an external hard drive hooked up via usb to my airport extreme. I recently purchased a goflex seagate media center for my tv. At first the seagate recognized my external drive with no problem. Streaming files from the hard drive with no problem. Now the media center cannot see or log onto the drive it. It still connects to internet via my airport, I can stream you tube however it cannot see the external drive. I can access the external drive with my mac book via the airport extreme with no problem. I'm at a total loss any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

  • I can't see my external FAT32 drive

    I have an 80GB hard drive that used to be in my MacBook Pro until I replaced it with a 320GB. All went well. Could see, read, and write to it.
    I put it in an OWC enclosure and reformatted it as a MSDOS FAT32 as a single partition using Disk Utility v. 11.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. All seemed to go well. The drive mounted, I could see it in the Finder.
    I put it into a Windows 7 machine and copied some files onto it. About 25 GB worth. Can see it and read and write to it in the Win7 machine.
    Now it does not mount on the MacBook Pro, Disk Utility does not even see it.
    Is there a command in terminal that will let me see it and reformat it again? The files are safe somewhere else but I would like a working drive.
    Again, it does mount, read and write in the Win7 machine but the MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8 and Disk Utility 11.1 cannot see it at all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sue

    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.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How do i transfer my IPhoto library from one troublesome external drive to a new one?

    My iPhoto library is on older external drive that I no longer trust.  How do I transfer it to a new drive?  If both are hooked up to iMac can I simply copy from one to the other?

    Be sure the new drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the library intact from the old to the new drive - depress the oprion key and launch iPHoto and use the select library window to select the new location as the default - be sure to fully test the new location before trashing the old one if you plan to

  • System Image Restore can't see USB hard drive

    Hi
    I've just spent a day taking System Image backup images of three different hard drives. Well ok I didn't just sit and watch the bar move across the screen although it did hold up my computer. Anyway, what a waste of a day from my PC because
    when I try to restore using System Image backup from my USB drive, the USB drive cannot be found. I have followed the procedure on page 750 of Configuring Windows 7, 70-680 precisely.  I tried booting from an OS DVD and a Windows Repair
    DVD, but no USB drive.  I tried using a blank usb stick and that can't be found either. The USB drive can be seen when I logon to Windows to get the images on it. Might this be more to do with hardware such as adjusting BIOS boot settings,
    or updating BIOS firmware. There seems to be others with unresolved problems like this. Should I join them and buy Acronis instead?

    Thanks for sending me these links and I will check them out. I think I came across most of the answer on the following link although doubts are raised: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-restore-from-image-wont-recognize/ce8e3d0a-236d-4eff-8370-c171d2dfa555?tm=1333929198413&page=1#footer
    Basically, I should have had three files on the external drive as follows:
    a.      A file named: MediaID.bin
    b.      A file that has the same named as your computer name (this is where the .zip files are located).
    c.      The 'System Image' folder named 'WindowsImageBackup'.
    By moving my backups into a folder out of the way and doing a fresh backup I prevented some confusion in the system. After this I could at last see the external drive and backup when doing a system image recovery. But how is
    it be possible to store more than one backup of hard drives on an external disk? The only way I know is by moving backups in and out of a folder which will take ages to do. Maybe I can rename the unused backups but this will get confusing
    because there are thee files to a backup and I think files are overwritten when doing backups if left in the route of the external drive. I is too easy to overwrite a backup of another drive by accident.
