New iMac 27" and cannot get it to mount a new LaCie thunderbolt drive. Any suggestions?

My new iMac 27" finally arrived and seemed to be working fine,until today when I received, from Apple Store, a LaCie d2, 3TB drive. Connected the Thunderbolt cables and powered it up. Rapidly flashing blue light on the drive but it does not mount on the desktop and does not show in the system report. Could be a bad drive or.........
All help appreciated.

Can you see the drive in the System Report or Disk Utility?
One thing I read was that you need to do is to shut down, and unplug everything, your iMac, the Thunderbolt drive, everything. Then reconnect, and start up the iMac. Seems to cure everything.
If not, return the drive to the Apple store, and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix it, then return the iMac within the 14 day no questions asked return period and get a new one. You'll have to move fast.

  • I just downloaded the new operating system and cannot get angry birds friends from Facebook to load.  Any suggestions here?

    I just downloaded the latest operating system to my IPad and now cannot access Angry  Birds Friends from Facebook.  Any solutions?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I have an iPhone 5 unlocked but cannot get a payg nano sim for Vodafone uk. Any suggestions ?

    I have an iPhone 5 unlocked but cannot get a payg nano sim for Vodafone uk. Any suggestions ?

    If Vodafone does not provide a nano-SIM card, there are no suggestions. Not only is the nano-SIM card smaller, it is also thinner, so cutting a micro-SIM card down to size wouldn't be enough to fit.

  • LR3 can't find files after copying my previous hard drive to a new Lacie Thunderbolt drive

    I transferred my LR3 files from my WD hard drive to my new Lacie Thunderbolt drive and now I can only get the preview and it says the file is missing.  Is there a setting I need to change that I am not aware of?

    You have moved your image files outside of Lr (via your OS) and now Lr has lost the connection to your images. This happens every time you move images outside of Lr. Lr stores in its catalog - among all the other things - also the location of your images, and if the location stored in the catalog is different than the situation onyour hard drive you get the "missing" file message. "Missing" means that Lr does not "know" where your images are.
    You have to point Lr to the location of your image files to fix the broken link.
    In the Grid View (left side) in the folders panel you should see question marks in front of the folder names. That is Lr's indication that the link to the folders is broken.
    Go to the top-most folder in the hierarchy of the folders that show the question mark and right-click it (click with the right-hand button of you rmouse). Select <Find missing folder> in the fly-out menu, navigate to the coresponding folder on your LaCie and click on it. Lr will then also find the sub-folders under that folder on idt own - provided that you have not changed the folder names or the folder structure.
    If you have done that you have to "point" Lr to each folder individually with the procedure described above.
    BTW you will also get the "missing" message when you open Lr but your external drive is not switched on.

  • I have rented movies on my iPad which have been watched but i cannot get them to delete off of my iPad.  Any suggestions?

    Can any one tell me how to delete "rented" movies from itunes off of my ipad.  They have been watched and are expired but I cannot get them off of my rental section

    You are trying to watch the movies in the videos app .... Correct?
    If you are getting a black screen in the videos app, here are several things that you can try.
    Quit the app completely and then try try again.
    Go to the home screen by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the videos app. Tap the home button again. Lanch the videos app and see if the movies will play.
    If that didn't help, try a reset.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Sometimes this will work ....
    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • My Ipad will not unlock.  When I slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', but I cannot get into the pad.  Was working fine yesterday, any suggestions would be appreciated.  Lisa

    My Ipad will not unlock.  When I 'slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', when I turn it on is 'speaks the time', but I cannot get into this ipad at all.  It was working correctly yesterday, any idea's would be appreciated.

    Your iPad is likely stuck in in VoiceOver mode.  Try triple-clicking the home button or connecting your iPad to iTunes on your computer.  You can disable VoiceOver in iTunes from the iPad's summary page by scrolling down to the Options box and clicking on Configure Accessibility.
    Good luck!

  • I have a new iPod touch and cannot get my apple id verified for imessage or facetime - any help?

    I have an Apple ID and it works but I cannot use iMessage or Facetime. I enter my apple id and password and it hangs up at the verify stage. I have received the email which apple sends and it states that my apple id is verified. Any help with this?

    I had this same problem. I tried turning iPhone on & off, exiting Settings, etc. Nothing worked. I realized that the E-mail address associated with my Apple ID was not connected to the iPhone via POP or IMAP. I believe that if you want to use the iMessage feature, you have to have a live connection between that E-mail server and your iPhone. After I set up the POP link to send/receive E-mails from that account, iMessage worked. Also, during my attempts to get iMessage to work, I updated my phone to the latest iOS, and when the phone rebooted, my cell number was listed and checked in the iMessage setup, where it was not visible anytime beofre that upgrade. Hope this will help someone.

  • I cannot get my email to verify when setting up account any suggestions

    Trying to get my account setup complete and it is asking me to verify my email when I open the email it is blank what have I done wrong

    Sheila,
    If you are having issues with the verification email, try to send it again. If the email is still not showing up properly, try closing out of the email application and then open it back up to refresh getting the message to see if it will download.
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email

    If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.
