Kingston DataTraveler 32GB is not shown in Finder

I bought a Kingston DataTraveler 32GB USB stick.
I have to plug and pull it many times on different usb ports on my MBP before it is readable.
Sometimes it's found, but mounted only readable.
This is filesystem indipendent.
Currently I have to partitions on the stick:
16GB FAT
16GB Mac OS extended
On my windows and linux systems the stick runs well.
On the MBP (2008) of my colleague it's exactly the same issue.
I also changed the stick by Kingston during the guaranty.
The product is also available on the apple store and it must be compatible:

Hello Longstag & welcome to the forums...
I've found that (1) most thumbdrives take a bit to be read and loaded...more so when they are large and (2) jumping around on different ports just makes it that much harder to have a thumbdrive recognized.
Unplug all unnecessary USB devices and shut down. Restart twice, plugging in the thumbdrive as the 2nd. reboot begins and then wait for the entire contents to be read in.
Reducing the number of devices can help, and again, don't casually try multiple USB ports in quick succession. Once you find a working combination, stick with it and don't be in a hurry to have that drive show up on the desktop, etc.
I would also consider going back to a single windows partition on that 32gb td as well.
Good luck in any case.

Inserted CD is not shown in Finder, neither possible to load nor to get it out... Any idea?

Inserted CD is not shown in Finder, neither possible to load nor to get it out again...
Restart with pressed left Mouse button or Reset didn't help...
Any idea? Thx

Have you tried using Disk Utility? Utilities Folder>Disk Utility, hopefully the CD will be listed on the left. Select it and then click on the 'eject' butoon.
Edit: If that didn't work, here's a few more suggestions: http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD

Album art not shown in finder

Embedded album art in audio files is not shown in finder since I upgraded to ML (worked fine in SL).
Other peaple report a solution of the problem with elimination of Voice Memos. But in my case this is not evident because I do not have Voice Memos.
Does somebody know the solution of the problem?

After hours struggling with this issue I finally found a solution (my setup is iTunes 10.7, OSX 10.8.3):
(But my workaround is only for people who know how to handle iTunes libraries!!! And backup first!!)
Open a new user account on your mac.
Generate a new iTunes library called 'itunes', no other name!
Import some files with embedded album art.
Drag such a file back to desktop and you should see the icon of album art.
Everything is like it should be.
Now copy this new itunes library to your user account of origin.
But first rename your old iTunes library different from 'itunes' e.g. 'itunesorigin'
Open the new iTunes and drag one file to desktop, now miraculosly all audiofiles in all of your itunes libraries should show up album art IN FINDER including preview and quicklook.
But this state is not stable. As soon as you open the old 'itunesorigin' the problem starts up again.
So, the next steps are:
Open the new iTunes and in preferences select the media folder of 'itunesorigin'. OK, say no to 'collate data'. Close iTunes.
Now copy and replace from 'itunesorigin' to the new iTunes the following files:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library.xml
Open the new iTunes and it should look like the old 'iTunesorigin' with all your playlists etc..
Close again.
Move the media folder from 'iTunesorigin to the new iTunes folder (replace).
Open new iTunes and select in preferences the new location of the media folder.
Now you should have the file iTunes Music Library.xml instead of iTunes Library.xml.
(iTunes Music Library.xml is the default if you have multiple libraries)
Done! For me its stable and I am happy. Your iTunes folder should look like this picture:

File sizes not shown in Finder

Only a few sizes are shown for applications and folders in the Finder window. If I select a folder and then press Command-I, the size will be shown in the information window, but still not showing in Finder. Any thoughts?
Macbook 100g Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello Chris
This is a View Option. Whilst you have a folder open, do View>Show View Options. In there you will find that you can have the folder sizes displayed and calculated automatically. You can also change this setting for all windows if you want it.

SD card not shown in Finder, but shown in iPhoto

Hej all,
I have a problem with my SD card. It was shown by Finder on my iMac and it was shown in iPhoto too. Since a while no SD card is shown in Finder, but each SD card is still recognised in the Finder. I have a guess: I think, that I unconciously moved the SD card from the Finder to the s Desktop. Since then it's not in the Finder anymore, but also not on the Desktop.How can I get the card back also into the finder?
Hope someone can help me.
Markus

See if pressing the Eject key ejects the disk. If it works, restart your Mac then re insert the disk.

USB storage devices not shown in Finder, yet function, and show in System Information?

Occurring starting about last month, this has gone from a seldom, to all the time situation. plugging in any USB memory device either directly to the computer, or with cables, will allow the files to be accessed/changed/deleted by programs, but the device with it's files will not show in finder. The device shows in System information. I have set Finder to show everything, but they no longer apear. Before failing entirely, I would sometimes have the device show for a short time, then get an "Improper removal" error, without touching the device, after a few moments. All these memory devices still function properly when used in external devices and when direcly accesed by software. Not being able to use finder to modify content is a significant problem.

Well I'm about out of ideas. Going off what you described, these devices work fine elsewhere and gradually failed on your computer.
Unless someone else can post other ideas, I only can suggest a reinstall of Lion from scratch. I would make sure I had a good backup from TM and an additional backup of your important files just in case.
Probably the easiest way would be to make a bootable USB stick or drive to work from. Procedure here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from -a-usb-flash-drive/
If you can accomplish that, see if you can boot from it. If so, use Disk Utility to erase the main drive and reformat it. Verify the drive is OK. Then quit Disk Utility abd procede to install Lion.
When the installation is finished, reboot and use Setup Assistant imediately to migrate your user data and applications back from the TM drive. Don't use migration assistant later.
I doubt it will help since the Comb-Update didn't fix it, but who knows.

External disk not shown in finder or diskutil

When I connect an external harddrive to my Macbookpro it does not show on Finder, Diskutil (but the hdd disk starts). USB works fine. If I plug in FW when computer is shut down or sleep it works fine. Cant find out why. Tried with different cables and disks.

You could run a Apple Hardware Test but I think the solution will be determined at a genius bar session. I would suggest you make an appointment.
Ciao.

External SSD not shown in Finder

My external SSD does not appear in Finder and not in Disk Utility.
The SSD is connected to my Macbook Pro via an USB cable form a SATA hard disc casing.
I used the SSD in another MBP till it broke down (logic board failure). When I bought a new MBP I took the SSD out of the old one and put it in a casing with USB connection. I could rescue all data to my new MBP. Then I erased the SSD with tthe intention to use it only for photos. It has worked fine for some time.
I have used it on two macs and I also had it conntected via my Time Capsule. The TC connection was slow plus that I got problems with Time machine, so I skipped that. After that my problems began. None of my computer recognise the SSD now.
Now I only can trace the SSD on System Information; under USB I see ”USB to S-ATA”. That is all.
The power indicator on SSD casing is lighting.

You probably have a bad controller in the enclosure. Purchase another and see if the SSD will work (they're very inexpensive and some are simply better than others - I use OWC enclosures for all of my clone drives).
Good luck,
Clinton

Png's are not shown in finder but in preview

In the system log I find:
mac Finder[216]: [QL] Display bundle <QLNSImageDisplayBundle: 0x1169bd070> did not return a layer although it was required to because it did not return a view either.
That may cause the problem to appear.
Does anyone have an idea?

Venkat,
You need to run 1) Full User Sync, 2) Full Role Sync, 3) Full Profile sync if you are using profiles, 4) Full Risk Analysis and 5) Management Reports to see SoD violations.
I did not understand meaning of this statmenet:
"SOD's are shown for the different system's the user has same Roles in the two systems."
What do you mean by this?

Alpesh

Recently created items not shown in finder.

In an effort to replace the invaluable (IMO) recent item canned searches that were on the older Mac OSX finder sidebars, I've changed the settings of the "All My Files" folder to display by "last modified". Only problem is that it doesn't want to show InDesign files or pdfs. The pdfs will show up about 20 minutes after creation, but that's not very helpful if I've just created something I need to email to a client immediately. Granted, I can navigate through the finder windows to the file and drag it into an email, but it's a lot easier just to open the "Today" or "All My Files" folder and see recently created files right there. Is anyone else having this issue?

You don't say how long ago you migrated. If it was very, very recently it may still be indexing. If not you may try reindexing as directed in Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes

Blank CDR and DVD not shown in finder - impossible to burn from Burn Folder

Since I have installed Snow Leopard on my Imac, Blank CD's and DVD's are not seen in the finder. No matter what I select in:
Systempreferences > CD's and DVD's (ask task / show finder etc...) the discs do not appear (I tried with all sorts).
Yet the disks are seen in Utilities > Disk Utility and also recognized in System profile.
When I make a New Burn Folder, after getting the prompt: insert disk,and inserting, nothing happens. Then I cancel, and finally get the message "The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized". I get this message with any disk type.
Using the same disks, but burning from I-tunes, I-movie, I-DVD I have no problem at all.
The exact same things happens on my Macbook, since Snow Leopard has been installed.
Smells very buggy. Anyone knowing a solution?
Thanks,
Vincentini

I am having the same problem but get no error messages.
Burn command given from burn folder on desktop, insert disc message appears, insert disc, 30 seconds later disc ejects, no message, no burn?

System HDD Not Shown in Finder or Desktop?

I have a PowerMac G4 with Dual 867 PPC processors, 1.5 Gig of RAM, a 500 GB HDD now running *Mac OS X Leopard*. Everything was installed just fine. However, a few days later, my system HDD, that is, the drive which Leopard and all other apps run from, has disappeared from the desktop and finder windows? I used Disk Utility, where the drive shows up, and Verified and Repaired everything. There were no errors reported. I can access all folders, but am very concerned I may soon lose data or access to data. Anyone with experience resolving this problem would be a huge help.
Best,
MM

seem like the problem was not with the OS, it was caused by the Drivepass that i'd been set for my external drive.
my mac can not see the locked drive, soi must either install the Maxtor Manager on the other computer and unlock the drive or return the OneTouch 4 mini to the original system and disable DrivePass through the Maxtor Manager.

External HD not shown in Finder

I have several EHD's connected to my late 27" 2011 iMac running 10.9.2, one EHD has my SuperDuper backup on it however it does not show up in the Finder Sidebar. Whereas all other EHDs connected (Time Machine drive and 2 other EHDs) do show up. I looked in Disk Utility and the SuperDuper EHD does show up and is operational, I have also restarted in Recovery Mode to see if the drive shows up and is bootable and it is. The only issue is the drive does not show up in Finder's sidebar. In 10.9.1 I had no problems, this just started when I installed 10.9.2. I have run Disk Utility and Repaired Disk Permissions however that's about it. Maybe a PRAM or SMC reset would work.
Anyone have any ideas?

I did toggle the sidebar buttons and that didn't help, but the plist idea is a good one. I have a troubleshooting account set up on machine and will see if the issue is just in my local account, if it is that points the finger at my normal user account and probably my user account Finder Plist. I can all use Terminal to restart Finder and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

Iphone will not sync and is not shown on finder

Recently, the iphone has stopped syncing. When I plug in the device, it is not seen by the Mac. The Iphone charges ok. The computer recognizes other Iphones. Do you know why the iphone has stopped communicating with the MAC?

The iPhone will never be available as a connected external drive via the Finder. The iPhone does not support disk mode.
If iTunes on your computer recognizes other iPhones, more than likely there is a problem with this particular iPhone.
