Nikon D100 'Disk not recognized' error

I can't get my Nikon D100 to show up on my computer. I have tried two different machines (macbook and macbook pro both on OS X 10.4.11) and both give me the error 'Disk not recognised' when I attached the camera to the computer via USB. The camera switches to PC mode automatically and I can see memory card in Disk Utility. What am I missing? Do I need a driver for the D100 to mount?
Cheers

Hi there, tonto cat -
You aren't going to be able to read IIgs diskettes with a USB floppy drive. Here's a forum thread with some good info about your options:

--- 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.

"USB Device Not Recognized" error when I connect iPod to my PC

I have a brand new 5th gen (I think) iPod.
I have been able to connect it successfully to my home laptop, download music to it and play it so I know the iPod works per se and the cable is ok too.
Now at work (where tons of my music is) when I connect it to my PC here and I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error pops up from my taskbar. When I click on the message it pops up a "USB Device Not Recognized" window which displays a list of USB ports, and shows "Unknown Device" for the one where the iPod is connected.
I think its probably USB1.something as opposed to USB2.0 but from what I understand that shouldn't matter.
Can anyone suggest anything ?
I've tried the 5R's as far as I can, and I read through this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=500559&tstart=15
but there didn't seem to be anything conclusive.
Thanks for any help,

First make sure the latest iTUnes is installed on this work PC, IF your allowed to install things on it, the latest iTunes version is 6.0.4.2 and can be downloaded from the apple site (Hit iPod+iTunes tab at the very top of this web page)
Another thing is what version of windows is the work PC? Is it windows XP Windows 2000 Or windows Me 98? iTunes will only run on XP and 2000

Coulo this be a BIOS battery issue? Please help. Thank you. AJL

Several things can cause the bios to fail recognize the hard dirive.
0. Try loading bios defaults, save changes on exit of bios, see iff the error persists.
1. Bad hard drive (try another hard drive)
2. Bad hard drive data cable (replace cable)

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive. But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
Words, almost, fail me.

Why do I keep getting "format not recognized" error?

Hello,
I was trying to play any of the video podcasts from Nick Jr (e.g iCarly, Drake and Josh) for my kids and I kept getting a "format not recognized" error on my APple TV and when trying to play on my PC with iTunes, the video doesn;t play at all. This seems strange to me as these podcasts are rated in the Top 10 under "kids and family" genre so they must be working for others. I was able to play other podcasts in this genre such as the Sesame Street podcast. Any ideas why these Nick Jr. ones aren't working for me?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem - with podcasts AND with Movies and TV Shows bought through iTunes. I was hoping the recent 3.0 upgrade would fix it, but no such luck. While this was an occasional problem with iTunes 8, it seems to have turned chronic with iTunes 9.
The annoying "solution" that seems to work is to unplug and replug the Apple TV and quit and restart iTunes. Even then, while watching TV Shows or Movies continuously it seems to work, but after any interruption, either due to shutting off the Apple TV or letting it go to screen saver for an hour or so between shows or movies, iTunes loses it from the device list, and the "format not recognized" message returns.

Device not recognized error

When I try to connect my Ipad1 to PC, I get the "device not recognized error". I tried to connect the Ipad to my Macbook Pro, I get no reaction, the computer does not see the Ipad, does not give a message either.
I re-tried with different cables, different PC's, latest version of itunes etc.
I can charge the Ipad through the wall outlet, no problem for that.
Do you think it is a hardware problem with the USB interface of the Ipad, or a software issue? If so, what can I do to solve this?
Thank you

[SOLVED]Hard Disk not recognized when installing

Hey all, I'm just starting with Arch and I've had some trouble installing it on my Acer netbook.
My first installation went well except that I had forgot to download the wireless tools so I decided to do a fresh install as I had no access to a wired connection at the time. The second installation attempt must have had some error on my part as Arch failed to start after selecting it from Grub, saying that the kernel was not available/not recognized.
Now my subsequent attempts at installing have failed because the hard disk is not recognized when running either cgdisk or cfdisk. Instead of showing my hard drive partitions after running
cfdisk /dev/sda
it shows my usb drive. If I instead use
cgdisk /dev/sda
it displays an error saying that the disk is damaged or not recognized. When I first saw this I thought my disk was failing, so I tried #! to see if it would show the same error, but it was able to recognize the entire disk and install correctly. Now, even after having the entire disk formatted as ext4 with #! installed, cgdisk is still giving me the same error about a damaged disk.
Am I doing something incorrectly or is there a fix for this? I haven't been able to find any information about this after a good while of searching.
Thanks for your help.

If you mean by trashing the USB flash drive, that it will delete all data and partitions on the selected drive it is correct, because:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$disk bs=4096 count=1
- this will delete all partition-table data
sgdisk -o /dev/$disk
- this will clear out all data. This includes GPT header data, all partition definitions, and the protective MBR.
/dev/$disk
- this will make you enter ncurses-based GUID partition table (GPT) manipulator, where you can create new partitions
You should only do this if you are certain of what disk it is.
Now if when you said this, you were meaning it will became broken, then it may be a special kind of usb drive because i've donne it many times and i've not broken any.
srs5694 wrote:My guess is that either your hard disk has become /dev/sdb (this can happen in some cases; disk identifiers aren't really fixed) or you're missing a driver for your hard disk controller because you've booted a different kernel or a different initrd file. Another possibility is that there's a hardware fault -- probably a loose cable -- that's preventing the kernel from seeing the disk.
If the usb drive is not where you installed arch, then you need to find if there are more recognized drives:
lsblk | grep disk
And see the uuid of the root partition you want, and add it to your bootloader boot line:
blkid /dev/sdxx

"This disc cannot be used because it is not recognized" Error

For about the last month I have not been able to burn any cd's. I have just upgraded to Leopard and that still didn't fix anything. I can read cd's but when I put in a cd-r disc to burn, the error "This disc cannot be used because it is not recognized" comes up.
G5 2 ghz, Sony DVD RW DW- U10A drive.

I too have been having a similar problem. I can read CDs but not burn them. The drive that I have is a pioneer 112D with the latest firmware installed v 1.24, (did it today) This drive is a replacement for one that died about 6 months ago. I have OS 10.4.11, the newest patch burn installed, repaired permissions, repaired disk from a start-up disk, tried to burn from toast, and itunes,and disk burn. I looked in the LaunchDaemons folder but it was empty. I called Pioneer and while it is still under warrantee, I have to send it in and wait 4 weeks to get it back. Not good service in this day and age! Anyone have any ideas?

Installation Failure: Audition 3 disk not recognized

When I place the Audition 3 disk into my CD/DVD drive to install, it whirrs a bit then...nothing.
When I look at the CD/DVD drive using windows explorer it displays a file view of D: (my CD/DVD drive) with nothing in its file listing. The view of the listing of files thats supposed to be on the CD is a complete blank. I have View hidden files in XP turned on.
My system:
Cd/DVD drive by Memorex dvd 16+ dl4rwid2. Drivers are up to date
Win XP Sp3
I've tried placing the media in my laptop and it reads the disk ok (but that's a vista machine). So I know the Audition 3 disk seems to be ok.
Coming back to the XP machine, I have successfully installed many other programs INCLUDING Photoshop, and just yesterday: Illustrator -- all from the same drive. Audio CDs and Video DVDs play no problem. As a matter of fact, I have been able to install the Loopology disk in the Audition 3 package! I've called Adobe support -- they were a big help: "talk to the hardware manufacturer". Sheesh.
I've even tried to copy the contents of the Audition 3 disk to the desktop usig the DOS prompt but it returns and error "the device is not ready". That's the same error you'd expect to see if there was no media in the drive. So it seems like the system does not recognize the Audition 3 installation disk at all.
The Audition 3 installation disk is the ONLY disk my system has EVER not been able to read.
Has anyone else seen this installation behavior with the Memorex dvd 16+ dl4rwid2?
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for the help.

Here is how I solved this. It was really quite simple once I thought through the problem.
I took the disk to my laptop (which could recognize the disk, but where I did not want to install the app) and copied all the files into a subdir (called it TEMP) on the Laptops desktop. (the disk buzzed/vibrated more than usual during this task, so I guess it was out of balance. That's why it probably failed in my desktop drive)
Anyway, I then burned the files in the Temp subdir to a blank CD on the laptop...took the newly created CD over to the desktop machine (that was not recognizing the original Audition 3 disk), put the newly created CD into its the desktops drive, and poof...it worked! Installation proceeded normally with the newly created CD.
Cheers!

Hard disk Not found Error

My computer suddenly after working properly the day before, started displaying an error that says hard disk Not found. It is not booting up to windows aince the hard disk has been disconnected in some way. It is still under the hp manufacturers warranty till auguat of 2015, so would I be able to send it in for either a device replacement or a service order to correct the error. Also there is a small crack in the body near the charging port, but that is from a drop from eariler. Please get back to me as soon as possible, my son needs to use this for his computer science class.

You should contact HP directly to arrange to have the notebook sent in for warranty repair.

Backup disk not available error

I had been using a Time Capsule as a backup device for years. It has worked very well. Last month, there was some work being done in my house and the contractors knocked over my cable modem and Time Capsule. They weren't damaged, but they got disconnected.
I had trouble getting everything started back up until I reset the Time Capsule to its factory settings and set up a new network, that had the same name as my old one.
The Time Capsule transmits fine, but it won't make backups.
I get a variety of error messagess:
1) Backup disk not available
2) User name or password for backup disk is not available
I know the passwords are correct. The backup disk shows up in Finder. But the Time Capsule won't start backing up.
I have tried deleting an entry from the Preferences folder for the Time Machine and reestablishing it and I get the same error.

This was finally solved by removing every possible permutation of the name of the network and TC from the Keychain and reentering all the passwords.

Old (Really Old) Apple Files /Disks Not Recognized by Current Computers

This has doubtless been asked before, but I could not find anything in the 6 pages of recent postings under "Older Apple Products."
How can I access old Applewriter and Clarisworks / Appleworks word processing documents and save in an updated format? I was able to retrieve most old documents by going back to OS 9 and use Appleworks 5, then use OS X and Appleworks 6.2.9 to save in newer format. However, some very old documents are on 3.5 disks that are not recognized by my current Apple computers, or my Windows XP laptop.

You appear to be talking about two separate issues—translating the files from an earlier version of ClarisWorks/AppleWorks to the AW 6 file format, and retrieving the old files from disks that cannot be read by your current machines.
You have solved the first issue—If you can access the files, you are able to open them with AW 5, Save them, then open the saved copies with AW 6.
For the second issue, you are going to need a Mac with a 3.5" drive that is capable of reading the disks on which the files are stored.
3.5" floppy disks came in three varieties. From oldest to newest, these were Single sided (400 KB. These had a single hole, near the top edge of the case, with a write protect slider used to prevent data from being written to the disk), Double sided (same, 800 KB, with two holes, one of which had the write protect slider) and High Density (double sided, 1.44 MB, identifiable by stylized "HD" molded into case). The early Macs came with a 400 KB drive. The last of the pre-iMac versions had HD drives. When the original iMacs(with no floppy drive) were introduced, some third parties offered external HD floppy drives that plugged into the new USB slot. Note that pre-iMac machines did not include USB.
Once you have a machine with a floppy drive that you can use to read the files, you can collect the files on that machine's hard drive. From there you can move the files to your current machine, open and save them with AW 6.
Moving the files from one machine to the other can be done via ethernet, email, or sneakernet A or B.
A: Burn the files to a CD. Copy from the Cd to your current machine.
B: Save the files to a Flash drive. Copy then to the new machine.

Barry

NIKON D800E files not recognized in lightroom 4.4

my lightroom 4 is up to date (waiting for lightroom 5 to be given to me - apparently they are having ordering issues so may take 24 hrs and i need to finish this project NOW)
why does it not recognize NIKON D800E files? is there a way around this or do i have to wait for my lightroom 5 to be delivered?
getting a message saying 'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom. (517)'
thanks!

That makes sense, especially if the NEFs are also not readable in LR5.
To correct any corruption from using obsolete Nikon software on newer camera NEFs, you can use the utility, here:

MacBook Pro 3,1 2007 disk not recognized at install

Hi,
I installed SnowLeopard on two of my Macs without problem. Trying the same on my MacBook Pro 3,1 2007 with a 320GB drive gives me a headache. I erased the volume completely, started up from the install-DVD and clicked install. However, the installer did not recognize the volume and did not list it in the selection window. Even running DiskWarrior on the empty volume did not change things. Several attempts to no avail.
The earlier system was 10.5.8 with the latest updates.
I also notice that the Installer DVD takes a long time to start up and to initialize the installer.
Does anybody have an idea why the volume would not be recognized?

Hi donv: I repartitioned, rechecked with DU, even ran a hardware test, still not recognizing the HDD from within the (family pack) installer.
Restoring 10.5.8 works and the machine boots just fine. I am at a loss.
The disk is a WDC WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0. Could the disk be a problem? A year ago a certified technician replaced the original disk with this one.
