  • "This disk is not recognized by this computer"

    I have a FireWire LaCie external disk, that suddenly stopped working.
    Did some copying of files and then I discovered some folder were missing.
    Then I restarted and got the message "This disk is not recognized by this computer. I did choose Igonre and when I run Disk Utilty I get this message:
    Verify and Repair disk “disk1s9”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Catalog file entry not found for extent
    Volume check failed.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    What shall I do? I'm panicking, since there are life-important (almost) files on the disk.
    I have Data Rescue II - do I dare to run the program, or shall I take the disk to a company??

    Bought the Data Rescue II, have restored most of the files. I think so, at lest. Many orphans, but at least they do have their names intact, and I have a pretty good idea where to put them. I only hope that the PSD files are intact too, all my video assets are on Beta and can be re-captured if needed.
    Tanks for your tip!
    It's the SECOND failure today - first I replaced an existing folder with an empty one and copied another 40 GB of files to the disk. Not much to rescue there...
    And then this happens. Not having a good week so far.

  • ---   disk not recognized by this computer  ----

    I have the G4 tower with a dvd burner, and I recently
    bought a floppy drive read/write. [t-max? external teac]
    Files which were prior saved onto floppy get an error msg:
    ' disk not recognized by this computer ' 'format now? '
    these were claris works files, saved via apple IIg onto
    apple formatted 1.4 mb disks, which are now un readable.
    suggestions ?
    oh .. the unit IS working OK to save jpegs, claris 5 files now.. on my current system.....
    but floppys previously [1990's] formatted are not readable.

    Reader Gerrie E. Cooper has a stash of old floppies that contain fonts from Adobe, Agfa, and other companies. It’s bad enough that the fonts are stored on this prehistoric media, but said media is of the 800KB variety. He wonders what course to take.
    I’m afraid that the answer is to find an old Mac (an SE on up to a beige Power Mac G3 will do the trick), insert the floppies into that Mac’s drive, create disk images of the floppies, and then copy the images to the current Mac. Third-party USB floppy drives support 1.4MB HD floppies but not double-density 800KB disks.

  • Movie dvd not recognized on this computer

    I am getting this alert message, "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I insert a commercial movie DVD. Was working last week, why not now?

         I finally searched google with the original error message and discovered other Apple community  discussions... sure enough I had the Lexar Securell USB software installed recently...
         I removed the Lexar extensions from /System/Library/Extensions, did a restart and all is fine again.
         I discontinued use of the software a while back because nobody would allow me to load the software on their machines to allow decryption... guess that should have been a first warning something was amiss.
         Does this software qualify as a virus seeing that it would have gotten passed along to other machines and left others not able to use their DVD drives, yikes!!!!!!!!! Bad, Bad Lexar, Bad!
         Think this warrents a general net-wide alert!!

  • ITunes not recognizing iPod, but computer does

    I have an older iPod touch (model MC008LL) and I just updated iTunes to 11.1.4 (I'm running Windows 8).Whatever version I was using before (I don't remember what it was) had no issues with my iPod at all. After I did this last update, my iPod shows up on my computer, iTunes refuses to acknowledge it being there (which is rude if you ask me). I've unplugged it and plugged it back in and browsed the internet and have come up with nothing.
    I just got a bunch of new music and would like to sync it across. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Christopher
    To get iTunes to recognise your mini, try resetting while it is connected to your computer (hold menu and select until the Apple logo appears)

  • My iPod Shuffle 4th generation 2GB is not recognized by My Computer in Windows or under Devices in iTunes.

    Everyone has the same problems. My iPod has been plugged in properly, I have followed all the support suggestions but nothing works. HELP PLEASE!

    I have downloaded that utility but can not use it, as
    when I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it is not
    recognized by either computer I am using. I can not
    reset or restore, because in order to do that the
    computer would have to know the shuffle is plugged in
    and it doesnt. I have tried this on two different
    computers and get the same result, so I dont think
    its a computer issue, its an ipod issue. I also used
    to be albe to play the shuffle on the Xbox 360 and
    now can not.
    Just as a check, did you actually follow the THESE directions...EXACTLY?
    Using iPod shuffle Reset Utility
    1. Quit all running applications on your computer.
    2. Open the iPod shuffle Reset Utility.
    3. Connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard or other non-powered USB hub.
    4. Click the Restore button. If prompted, enter an Admin user name and password.
    5. The restore process will start.
    6. When it is complete, quit iPod shuffle Reset Utility and open iTunes to sync music to your iPod shuffle.

  • My iPod classic is not recognized by my computer or iTunes

    My iPod is not recognized by my computer or iTunes. It worked fine a few months ago but now it doesn't even sync. I tried everything from turning it on/off, reinstalling iTunes, checking the connectivity issues and etc. After going through the connectivity test the only thing I found odd was that it said that the iPod classic running firmware 1.1.2 is not connected. Could that be the issue? And if so, how can I get that firmware running again?

    I have the same issue with my ipod classic, and have gone through these steps. However, when i come to the step where it says to reinstall: "
    Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Select your iPod in the source list and click "Check for Update" under the Summary tab.   iTunes will check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you. "
    there is no ipod listed in the source list to check for any updates under the summary tab. Itunes just DOES NOT see the ipod at all. And this is where I am stuck....further instructions PLEASE!!! Thank you....

  • Ipod shuffle is not recognized by any computer or itunes

    I have a first gen. ipod shuffle. It does not show up in Windows or Itunes on two different computers. The original problem was that it would not skip to the next song.

  • My ipod not recognized by the computer or itunes?

    Ok, the iPod works fine playing music and watching videos and everything else it is supposed to, and it charges fine. But when i plug it up my PC to sync new music, the screen on the iPod does like normal and goes to the gray and orangeish screen that says Connected, then immediately says Disconnecting iPod and shows the little progress bar as if you had ejected it. How can it do this on it's own before anything has recognized it?
    I have done everything that the Support on here has said, the 5 r's and all that, and nothing. Checked device manager on my computer and it actually says that is is plugged up and recognized, but has a yellow exclamation point beside it. The properties of it says this error...
    "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)"
    These errors occurred two days again until now, i have made no recent updates on my computer or iPod to have damaged anything but these problems randomly occur. it's really odd and if someone could help me it would be great.

    Have you carefully worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • IPod shuffle 4th generation is not charging, not recognized by my computer and laptop (Windows 7) and does not show up in iTunes

    I have done all the troubleshoots and reset functions but my iPod shuffle is still not working. Every time I plugged my iPod it only shows red light that lasts for about 3 seconds and will disappear after some time. I've been using the same computer and laptop back then, and it stopped working since the last week of October.

  • My 4th generation shuffle is not recognized by 'my computer' or by Itunes', what now?

    This is the second IPod shuffle I've been through with the same issue.  It's not recognized on neither Itunes or 'my computer', therefore, Im unable to load anything onto the the shuffle.  The last time this happened, those were the symptoms I experienced before the entire unit went dead.  Any idea what I'm to do next?  I couldn't possibly get 2 x defective units. Anyone?

  • I accidentally deleted my whole i tune library. I was able to retrieve the entire library, but all my play lists have dissapeared and iTunes says that my ipod is not synced with this computer. Can i sync my playlists from my ipod to my itunes?

    i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?

    With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

  • I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
    Have a nice day!
