No device shows up in the finder side bar

Hi, I found that my USB flash drive doesn't shows up in the finder side bar, although it has been mounted and can be accessed when I search the name of my USB flash drive in the spotlight. Actually not only is the USB flash drive but nothing shows up in the device sectino of the side bar, what would be the potential problem for this?

Move the cursor over the DEVICES line in the sidebar. If the word Show appears on the right, click it.

  • I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

    I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

    Is this possible? if so, how? Thanks in advance

    You have to pay for online storage, someone has to pay to keep the lights on. As far a getting it on the Finder sidebar, you did something wrong. That is where mine resides, see below.

  • Is there a way to remove items from the "places" part of the finder side bar?

    Is there a way to remove items placed in the "Places" column of the side bar in the finder window?

    Control-click them and remove them, or just drag them out.

  • Removing SHARED from the Finder Side Bar

    Hi everybody,
    We are currently prototyping 10.5 for deployment on our network and we are attempting to restrict access to the finder's sidebar "SHARED" section. We don't want our students to be able to easily access lists of all the computer that are on the network which comprises of both apple and windows pc's.
    We have tried to achieve this by using work group manager / managed items on machine based policies but it doesn't do anything, the network administrator also placed the restriction on via the user group but again the SHARED section of the finder sidebar still appears.
    Is there a prefs file we need to edit manually, something we can then use with workgroup manager to destribute the prefrences to the end user enviroment.
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, since this is the final hurdle to us deploying 10.5 throughout our networking environment.
    Thank you
    Pan

    If you want answers to server kinds of things, I suggest posting to the appropriate server forum (your profile indicates Tiger, yet you're asking about Leopard things). Finally, you might consider checking out the Leopard Server Admin Tools at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools1055.html

  • Strange Items Under Shared Devices In Finder Side Bar

    I have file sharing on for both my lap top and imac. Each shows up under Shared in the finder side bar. And I am able to connect to either one if I click on them. However two other devices show up as well. These two devices do not exist. When I use "Get Info" for them it indicates they are PC servers. I don't have any such thing. One of the items actually has a hyphenated version of my base station name. If I click on that one it says "connection failed". If I click on the other one it says "connected as guest" but nothing shows up in the window.
    Is there anyway to delete these items/devices or at least keep them from showing up? And why are they showing at all?

    I appreciate you taking the time to look. My 3 macs are now displaying only other Leopard computers. The strange ones have disappeared. One strange listing did look like my airport express base station. I have a 2nd express airport which servers to play my itunes. I, also, have two PCs on a Linksys wireless network and a wireless printer on my airport network.
    Have no idea why the strange additions have disappeared. In an attempt to get them to disappear, I did shut down & restart each computer (Macs & PCs), unplugged and replugged both express airports, turned off then on the printer, and unplugged and replugged the linksys wireless router connected to my DSL modem. My goal was to isolate the equipment causing the strange listings. No luck. Could only modify the strange listing by totally taking down the wireless network at the DSL modem. Then, after returning from working at a client's; everything looked normal. ?????

  • Getting Rid of Airport Extremes under Shared Devices in Finder Side Bar

    In the Finder side bar, under Shared, I see a nice list of all the computers on my local network.
    Unfortunately, I also see my Airport Extremes (I have two) and they show up as type "PC Server". How can I fix this problem either by not having the Airport Extremes show up while keeping the rest of my computers showing up correctly or (ii) having the finder understand that these are Airport Extremes and not try to connect to them and show the wrong icon.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Sorry if this seems negative but you really should post such a question in the iPhone section of Apple Communities.   You are much more likely to get expert help there immediately.
    Just re-post with the same detail.

    my disk drive will start up when i plug it in, and runs for about 30 seconds, but wont get recognized in my computer. It used to show up in the finder but that doesnt happen anymore

    If you go to Disk Utility, can you see the drive on the left hand side? If not, then the drive is dead. You'll have to buy a new drive.

    You can't. If its offline it can't be tracked. The device needs to be powered on and connected to an Internet connection to be trackable.
