My external hard drive that I use as a backup is not being recognizedc by my MAC PRO. Usually I get the icon for the backup, when I attach it to my computer, but that isn't happening. What can I do?
Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

My internal hard drive isn't being recognized on my macbook pro but when I put the HD in my Mac Pro (desktop), the desktop computer recognizes the HD. When I insert the installer CD on my laptop, it also doesn't recognize my hard drive. Please help! Thank you!
I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk.

I have just started using WD external hard drives, I use it to save my movies and music on. On more than one occasion, when I connect it to my MacBook it erases everything I had save on the hard drive. Can someone please help me with this problem? I am super tired of having to put all of my movies and music on the hard drive just to have it erased again. The products I am using are WD 4TB My Book and 2 TB My Passport external hard drives. When it happens, there is always an icon that reads, EFI, along with the My Book icon. Thank you for your assisstance.

Yes, you have WD software installed REMOVE IT !!
WD has warned its customers about their huge mistake that their software doesnt work on Mavericks and causes data loss.
(also dont use WD drives anymore)
Read all about it here:

See their website on removing the destructive WD software here:

External Hard Drive no longer being recognized in Finder
My Seagate Ecternal Firewire hard drive was accidently unplugged a few minutes after transferring about 11gb of files to it. When I plugged it back in it is giving me the Error Message: DISK INSERTION then below that it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." It shows up in Disk Utility but gives me no options under the First Aid Category. Is there anything I can do to get the files that were on there back? A friend told me he believes I just unplugged it while it was doing some sort of "janitorial type work" after the file transfer because no applications were running at the time that it was unplugged. I dont see why unplugging it at that time would make me lose 250+gb worth of information, and I really hope that isnt the case. If anyone can give me some tips to figure out what exactly is wrong, or a place to go/ software to use to fix it, please let me know. thankyou
Vaio wouldn't know Mac file system from a hole in the wall unless it has Mediafour's Macdrive software.
It isn't so much updating 10.3, it is more updating your Disk Warrior to match your operating system. What version of Disk Warrior do you have?
P.S. note this is the 10.4 forums for Tiger. 10.3 is Panther. Future questions regarding 10.3 should be directed to the 10.3 and earlier forums. Though I'm happy to continue to try to solve your problem here. -
My external hard drive isn't being recognized
I have an extrenal drive I used to back up my dvds for faster viewing and the drive is going out I think. It will disconnect midway through movies, when uploading or downloading to/from it it will sometimes just disconnect itself. about 75-80% of the time its plugged in it wont show up. I can't attempt to transfer more than about 3 gigs of information or else if ejects itself, and it won't even show up in disk utility.
How can I get this crazy drive to be recognized so I can keep working on transfering the data back off it before it dies completelyOK, so are there any volumes listed for that disk in Disk Utility? And how does it not allow you to repair the disk? Is the option grayed out? Try clicking on the disk AND the volume and comparing the options for each.
For example:
149.1 GB FUJITSU MHW2160BHPL Media
|- Macintosh HD
|- disk0s3
186.3 GB Prolific PL3507 Combo Device *(On this disk…)*
|- Time Machine *(…here is my Time Machine volume.)*
|- Windows Extra

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. -
I have a free agent desk 500 GB external hard drive. Since updating my iMac OS to Mountain Lion it no longer backs up through Time Maching like it did in the past. Now, after completing its work it says, "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder." I cannot find any sites that help me fix this. Do I need to purchase a new external hard drive?
Hi Aaron,
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

Can't imaging something not being covered there. -
My Western Digital external hard drive suddenly stopped showing up on my macbook pro and it disappeared from disk utility. I have tried making invisible files visible but nothing has worked and my hard drive shows up on a PC but not my Mac anymore.
What is the manufacturer of the external and how old is it? Does it have its own AC power supply or is it USB bus powered?

I have MAC OS X 10.6.8 (up-to-date). How can I get screen mirroring to my Apple TV to work? The icon does not appear at top status bar..
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com -
Recently when I install apps, the icon does not appear on the menu screen, also, it shows that it is downloading at the app store and when complete, I can not open it or reinstall it. Has happened on the last 4 free apps. Help Please
Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?
After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?
Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ? -
I just bought an Apple TV and I'm trying to connect airplay but the icon does not appear! My iPhone and Apple TV are on the same wifi connection but the airplay button does not apper? The same thing with my iPad mini
Try restarting all devices including portable iOS ones and your router.
Check Airplay is not disabled in AppleTVs settings.

I have no access to photos on iCloud. The icon does not even appear on my mac or in iCloud.
The Mac is running 10.9.4. on a mid 2007 model.
My iPhoto is 7.1.5.
I was told that my system was too old to support the required upgrades that would allow me to to see photos on iCloud; thus, I should not be the latest iPhoto. Accurate?All you need to do is upgrade your iPhoto to iPhoto 9.5.1 thru the App Store. This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1 -
My iPhone 5 will not sync with itunes. Icon does no appear in left hand column. Both iTunes and the iPhone are running the most up to date updates. Please help.
Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar. -
