My external harddrive is not showing any files after a mac partition

I transfered my files from my pc to the external harddrive. The instructions for the external harddrive said I needed to partition the drive to make it mac-compatible. After partitioning, I couldn't find any of the files that I transferred.
Can anyone help me find the files on the external hard drive?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
did you do the partitioning after you have copied the files to the external harddisk ?
If so, then they are gone.
A repartitioning of a harddisk deletes everything that is on that harddisk at that moment.
If the files are still on your PC, then just reconnect the external HD to your PC and copy the files again.

  • External Drive Does not show any file in finder

    I do not see any file in my external hard drive. It a 2TB hard drive and in info it shows 727 GB remaining. I am sure files are there but for some reason they are not showing in finder. I am using iMac 10.6.8

    How does this relate to iPhoto?  You'd best ask your question in the Show Leopard forum as it's more a system/hardware issue.

  • Itunes on W8 will not play any files after upgrade to 11.0.4.4

    After following the prompt and updating Itunes on Windows 8 to version 11.0.4.4 on 6 June, Itunes no longer plays any audio or video files from my library. Pick a file and Itunes shows that it is playing (Pause button only) however nothing happens. The file simply does not play.  Windows Media Player will not open any files. VLC will play flash video files but with no sound.  Video played in IE10 seems to play ok including sound.   Anyone have any suggestions.  I can uninstall but figure I'll get teh same version when I re-install.   Everything worked fine prior to installing this upgrade.

    Resolved by running W8 System Restore to a point prior to the last Itunes update. Now back on the previous version of Itunes. Windows Media Player working correctly with all file types. Itunes working correctly also.  I'm quite happy not to re-apply any updates from Apple for a while.

  • IPhoto 9 does not show any photo of old Mac Mini's iPhoto 7 library

    I'm trying to migrate an 80GB iPhoto library from my old Mac Mini to a new iMac. The old Mac Mini has iPhoto version 7. The new iMac iPhoto 9.
    When I copied the complete library, iPhoto does not show any photos. How can I fix this? I already tried:
    Using iPhoto Library Upgrader – however it shows: Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
    Using iPhoto's rebuilding etc functions on both Macs – this does not do the trick
    Using iPhoto Library Manager – also shows 0 photo and rebuilding does not work.
    Anybody knows a solution?
    Thanks!

    Doesn't work :
    It is also quite strange that iPhoto just opens the library without any warnings, but without showing any of the content (photos, albums, etc.)

  • R12 Invoice Concurrent LOV not showing any Invoice after upgrade from 11i

    Hi All,
    We had 11i instance and then we upgraded to 12i.
    Now one seeded program named "Invoice Print Selected Invoices" has a parameter called "Transaction Number Low"
    , having LOV AR_RAXINV_TRX_NUMBER ,
    does not show any record in R12.
    When i opened LOV i could see following tables:
    1. RA_CUSTOMER_TRX
    2. RA_CUST_TRX_TYPES
    3.AR_LOOKUPS L1
    We are using this value set for one of our custom object too.
    I was wondering if it is not pulling any data for seeded how it could it pull for custom objects.
    I am a newbie in R12.
    Any one has any idea why is it so , i can speed up my work and learn from your experties.
    Thanks,
    Swapnesh Parmar

    Hi
    Did you get the above sorted ? how ?
    I have a similar problem with Selected Invoice Print where the Transaction Type parameter lov doesn't show any values. The seeded value set uses ra_cust_trx_types which (in R12) is a synonym for ra_cust_trx_types_all.
    There is data on ra_cust_trx_types_all.

  • Opening from"Open Recent" does not show any files.  Help!

    Every time I start IBA the splash screen shows up the templates available.  At the bottom of the screen there is an option to "open recent" files.  The same at the "file" menu on the top menu bar.  I see no file records in either one.  I always have to use the simple "open" command and search for the files, where they are stored.  This is rather annoying as I would prefer to be able to open from "recent" as you are supposed to be able to do.  Please, give me some advice if I need to change something in the settings (I could not find any preferences allowing me to do this either.)

    It might be best to contact Apple for support so they can make sure you don't remove something otherwise important

  • Aperture 3.4.5 will not show NEF files after importing in OSx 3.8.5

    Hi this is driving me crazy.  I have quite a few NEF files from a Nikon E5000 that I would love to be able to process using Aperture but have run into a rather difficut situation.  When I import my images into Aperture I can see the preview of the files in the browser but can not get them to display after they have been imported.  I have tried importing localy through the internal hard drive on my IMac late 2007 as well as through an external NTFS formated USB backup of my files.  It also chokes on direct imprting from the CF card using a card reader.  In all cases they will sometimes display for a brief second both in the picture browser after importing or on the film strip view but will then disapear and display "unsupported image format" in its place.  I have reinstalled aperture and run both repair persissions through disk utility and the aperture repair utility that ships with aperture.  I have no problems with canon raw files or other file formats - jpg, tiff, png, photoshop, bmp.  Also NEF files will open in lightroom 5 and photoshop cs6 with out issue as well.
    Any help in restoring functionility would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the time and effort in advance.
    Que Too

    Nikon E5000
    Do you mean a NIkon CP 5000 (Coolpix 5000)? Aperture supports many raw formats, but not all, because the raw support  has to be camera specific. Not all NEF files are in the same format - all Nikon cameras will call their raw files NEF.
    For some cameras Aperture never included raw support. The currently supported cameras are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    It looks like your camera is not on this list, so if you want to shoot raw with that camera, develope the raw files using a different raw converter (Adobe's dng converter or the suftware that came with your camera) and import tiff or dng files to Aperture.

  • My external harddrive is not showing up on my computer when I plug it in. What can I do?

    I have tried plugging in my external hard drive a few times in the last week and when I do, nothing shows up on my computer. The light on the ext hard drive light up like something is happening, but it doesnt pop up on my mac like usual. I recently had some work done on my mac for liquid damage, but have used my ext hard drive since and it worked fine. It's just stopped in the last couple weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If it's port powered, get a powered USB hub, Mac's can turn off USB if it's drawing too much power.
    Also try a SMC and PRAM rest
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    This drive is not formatted NTFS by any chance? Perhaps your NTFS software needs a update?
    Does it show up in Disk Utility? Can you repair it?
    Search online for "unmounting external drive Mac" and hopefully you can find something. I need to go to bed now, sorry.

  • S_ALR_87012178 does not show any data after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Hi Gurus,
    We do upgrade and do testing to all functional process realted.
    When open S_ALR_87012178 in SAP ECC6 no data showed, but in old version (SAP 4.6C) data showed although we select the same parameter selection.
    Any setting missed ? or any suggestion about this issue.
    Thx in advance.
    Tri Wicaksono

    Hi Tri,
    Check the following.
    I have checked your request, and there are two 'ways' the report
    will send out the data:
    1. In a 'normal' list
    If you call the report in the 'standard' way, the data get displayed
    in a normal list. This is the standard.
    2. If the 'ACCESSIBILITY_MODE' flag is set in the user parameters.
    With this flag, the reports output is done with the ALV Grid display.
    About this ACCESSIBILITY_MODE flag,  refer to the note 929036,
    which describes the 'function' of it.

  • Ipod 6th gen not showing any music after successful sync

    Hi all,
    My ipod 6th gen has just started doing something odd.
    When I plugged it in it said it couldnt be read and I had to restore it.
    I did this, but now when I sync'd all my music back to the ipod, it seems to work, but when I unplug the nano and try to play some music there is nothing available to play.
    Any ideas?
    I have the latest version of itunes, and the ios on the iPod is up to date.
    The Sync seems to work, and in itunes you can see that there is music on the ipod. But the ipod itself shows nothing available to be played.
    Pls help!!!!!
