Not seen as a drive...

i have 2 x 20gb pods and now a shuffle. Notethatthe shuffle kicks into itunes ok, and that it is seen in the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option in XP, but does not appear as a drive in 'My Computer' ...any thoughts?

Philip,
I wouldn't be concerned. I support two Shuffles with my computer running Windows XP SP2. Neither show up as drives under My Computer. However, your computer is apparently recognizing your Shuffle. Open the Control Panel, double-click the System icon, select the Hardware tab, then Device Manager -- your Shuffle should be listed under Disk Drives as (something like) "Apple iPod USB Device." You've got your Shuffle working OK so I'd avoid any of the Updaters after 2005-09-23 -- there seems to be a problem with the later ones.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

New internal hard drive not seen in disk utility

Hi
I replaced my hard drive with a western digital black edition but when I use it as an internal it is not seen by the disk utility.
I have installed and booked from the new drive using USB so it doesn't seem faulty.
When I use the old drive as an internal it works so I don't know what's going wrong.
I have had a look at similar problems but nothing I have tried has helped.

It may be the internal connecting cable that is the problem. If you can install the new HDD in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP, then see if you recognize it using the OSX installation disk. If so, the internal connector should be replaced.
Ciao.

[Solved] External USB 3.0 drive not seen under /dev/sd*

Ok, thought this would be easy but for some reason I cant get arch to see the physical drive. Its a new Seagate 2TB external USB 3.0 drive. I connected it to a windows laptop and it was quickly recognized (ntfs). I then installed ntfs-3g but still cant see it. I then formatted it under windows as ext4, but its still not seen. I tried this with 2 arch PC's, both the same issue. I seen a few other posts and tried a few things like making sure the mod xhci_hcd was running. I have the latest updates on each system. fdisk -l does not show the device at all! I can see and boot to other USB devices fine just not this one, maybe since its USB3.0??
I noticed here, they talk about maybe USB3 is broke in the new kernels, after 3.10.2 maybe?
Similar issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126299
Possible bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36296
However, I would think that by now, this would have been fixed as USB3.0 is more common? Other than trying to find a OLD 3.10.2 kernel any other advice?

Awesome, THANKS!! Yes I got it to work following this and specifically Da_Coynul's post:
I was able to get my external drive working again by telling the usb-storage module to ignore uas for the device. Here is how to do it:
First, create a file named ignore_uas.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d directory containing the following*:
options usb-storage quirks=Vendor_ID:Product_ID:u
*(substitute your actual Vendor_ID and Product_ID obtained from the lsusb -v command).
Next, regenerate your inital ramdisk:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
Finally, reboot your computer.
Although this is not a solution to broken uas, at least it will let you use your drive as before hmm

Thanks everyone...Now I can see the drive, and will work on formatting it with XFS...

Satellite A - DVD drive not seen by Windows Explorer

THe DVD deive on D is not seen by windows explorer. It used to work but has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts up at boot then ceases.
Any ideas anyone?

Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
4) Reboot.
If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
This utility can remove the filters for you:

Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
- Nano 8 gb
- Windows xp
Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall i tunes
2. Restart my computer
3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
9. i tunes recognized it.
10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
11. The problem started happening again
12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

Imac will not see my hard drive on start up, wants to start from network start up disk that does not exist. How to get rid of it? So there is just one choice / my hard drive.

I have a Intel duo Imac. Everything has been running relatively smoothly for a few years now. All of a sudden my computer will not start. I get the flashing folder with a question mark.
When I go to Start up disk in my system perfernces while the computer is on. I see 2 possible choices. One is my hard drive with the operating system shown. The other is a non-existant Network Start up disk with a question mark in it ( looks like a hard drive with a question mark and it say's its a "network start up disk).
All I think I want to do is get rid of the Network startup with the question mark. I can not find anywhere how one can just remove an old or non existant start up disk without reformatting.
I believe this came from a clients hard drive who had a network system on it. We no longer have that drive. It no longer exists. But a latent icon shows up in start up disk.
When I go to change the start up disk. I can change it to either the hard drive or the network with the question mark. But when I select my hard drive and then got to restart the computer. I get the flashing folder with a question mark on start up. I have also seen the flashing globe a couple times.
When I attempt to run disk utility from may install disk ( holding down "C" on start-up ). Disk utility does not see my hard drive. Just the Apple install disk with the disk utility on it.
What can I do to remedy this short of re-installing? Will a program like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool help?

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

Ipod not seen on computer or iTunes, and has no icon while loading...

HT201250 Time machine does not recognize WD external drive

Time machine and back-ups worked fine on my MacBookPro. It stopped working, no I believe it is still working but the MackBookPro does not recognize it and when clicking "Back up" I receive the message that the external drive is not available. Thanks to Bootcamp the computer also has a Windows side which I use mainly to run a soaring flight simulator called Condor. When I turn on the MacBookPro and click on "Choice" the window I receive shows the Mac and Windows operating systems, the Back-up and "My Passport." When I click on "My passport" it actually opens...When I turn the computer off and reboot it again there is no sign of "My Passport."
Now, I have a second WD My Passport which I bought for the Windows side of the computer. When I attach it before turning on the computer, I shows up on Finder, however, when I click "Back up" here it seems like it is starting back-up but only for a few seconds and then I get the message that the drive is a Windows formatted drive and that a back-up cannot be completed.
Why does the Windows formatted drive show up in Finder and also when I run the Windows side, however, the driver for the Mac does not show up on Finder?
I now have only the Mac formatted external drive attached and I just received the following messages: Can't back up. Reformat the disk. Files can still be read but the drive can no longer be used for back-ups. Get a new external drive. Run back-ups as soon as possible.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

OK, so it sounds like you have a Mac formatted drive that you have used previously for Time Machine, and disconnected it for a few weeks, and you can now see files on it OK from your Mac. However, when the system tries to run a Time Machine backup, you get an error message "Can't backup. Reformat the disk. Files can still be read but the drive can no longer be used for back-ups. Get a new external drive. Run back-ups as soon as possible."
I have not seen this problem before, and would recommend that you look through the Time Machine troubleshooting information at http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
For instance, http://pondini.org/TM/B1.html or http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html could help in your situation. I'm assuming (but probably shouldn't) that you've verified that your hard drive doesn't need repair (another Disk Utility function) and that there is still a Time Machine backup on that drive - look for the directory Backups.backupdb.
I hope that helps. If not, perhaps someone with more Time Machine knowledge will pop along soon to help you further.

New IPOD 30 gig not seen by one PC is seen by another PC

Hello. I have an IPOD 30 gig that I bought for my son for christmas. It has been working fine for about 3 weeks on my main PC at home. Over the last 1-2 weeks the same PC is no longer "seeing" the IPOD. This same PC is "seeing" and is able to sync with another IPOD, a 4 gig NANO, just fine. The other day I finally had a chance to try to fix it by following all of the posts about 5 Rs etc and the PC is still being difficult, I have tested it on all of my USB ports built in to the PC and on one built into the HP printer, none see the IPOD. I have tried to format it using the HP format USB device tool, but since the IPOD is not seen by the PC it does not allow a format to occur. The IPOD does charge when plugged into the USB port but that is all it does.
So the other day I finally had a moment to test using my laptop, and the stinking IPOD worked as it should, the laptop could "see" the IPOD and Itunes could sync with it fine. I then retested the IPOD to the main PC and it is still not working at all.
Can someone give me a new direction to take to help me make my son happy again?
Thanks,
Larry

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

Workstation not mapping any network drives

Im having an issue with different workstation not mapping any network drives. The issue to would seem totally random. Each time is over a wired connection.

Basic network connectivity issue. One known common culprit for this
error is a workstation firewall, but the raw symptom just means that
unexpected network connectivity problems occured.

Canon MG7100 not seen on network

Worked fine for months then non-specific problems with HH5 like drop outs which now intermittent. Pinter says connected to access point and correct SSID seen but can't be seen on laptop or any other connected device and not seen on home network device list. Sorry I'm not technical in the least!

This is also happening to me on some occasions.
When I try to see my portable on the finder window, and it does not show up, I have discovered that some times, if I click on my hard drive and then back on the Network icon, my portbale is finally shown.
I do not know why this is happening.
Sometimes, if I also restart the portable, it also helps in revealing it.
One question if I may: how are both your machines obtaining their IP addresses?
Best regards
Andrew

Flash in HTML not Working on C: DRive

OK, I have never seen this so I hope someone can help me with
this. I have created a basic navigation bar with flash. I have
added it to an HTML page and when you click one of the icons it
loads another HTML page with a flash file on it. This is very basic
stuff an has never been a problem in the past. My issue is that it
works off my server when I go to my website, but if I run it off my
C: Drive it will not run the action script to open the other HTML
page. Has anyone seen this issue or have an idea why it works on
the server and not off my c:drive.
