Please Help - CD Drive - Discs not appearing!!!

Whenever I put a disc of any kind into my drive, it does not show up in the finder or anything. Strangely, my drive appears normal in Profiler.
The Discs show up in the Disk Utility though! That is the weird part, it knows they are there, I just can't do anything to them.
I can't run hardware test, because that is on a DVD.
PLEASe HElp

Hi Carter,
Whenever I put a disc of any kind into my drive, it does not show up in the finder or anything. Strangely, my drive appears normal in Profiler.
It would appear that settings in your Finder Preferences may have been altered. Try the following:
1. Click anywhere on the Desktop to make it active
2. From the menubar select Finder->Preferences
3. Click on the General icon
4. Ensure that CDs, DVDs and iPods is ticked in the Show these items on the Desktop section
All should be well now. Post back, either way, on how you got on.
I can't run hardware test, because that is on a DVD.
You should be able to startup from the DVD by holding down the Option(alt) key when powering up your Mac. This will take you to the Startup Manager screen where you'll be able to select AHT or any other bootable volume.

Please help! Artist names not appearing in ipod after syncing!

Hey there everyone, I really really need some help with this problem that I have now had for 2 months. I have this problem on 3 different ipods so I know it is not a problem with the ipod, it is with itunes.
My itunes library is in perfect order and set up how I want it to be when in my ipod, e.g, every song has the artist, album and song name in the correct places in the 'get info' tab, and appears in the correct places in the itunes library.
However, when I synchronise my ipod with itunes, the artist tab in the ipod consistently says 'no artists'. However, the songs are in the songs tab and albums in the albums tab, but it doesn't register the artists. Because of this I can't search for the artists I want.
I have spoken to apple numerous times and they haven't been able to tell me what is wrong with it. I'm at my wits end with this and so greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
Things I have tried so far include, changing ipods, selecting all as part of a compilation, deleting the music from itunes and then putting back into itunes. None of this has worked.
Please help
Thanks

*When I rip CD's onto iTunes and then upload them onto my iPod some of them DON'T APPEAR ON THE 'ARTIST' section of my iPod Nano.*
There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

Driver does not appear in the selection tab Windows8

NDIS protocol driver does not appear in the Selection Tab and hence I can not run any tests on it. The client operating system is Windows 8 64bit Pro Premium. I tried reinstall driver several times, reboot client and studio machines, but with no results.
Client itself is connected to the studio and is in "Ready" state.
There was no problem running the test on the same driver with Win7 64bit client OS.
HCK version is 8.59.29854
The driver is build with DDK7.1.0
Any hints on how to debug this would be helpful.
Dmitry

Have you uninstalled and re-install the HCK client on the test system? This can cause the entry on the controller to not match up with the actual client system. If this is the case, and you have done no testing on the system (as all results will
be lost), please try this:
1) Uninstall the DTM client from the test system.
2) Delete the client entry from HCK studio in the machine management section.
3) Reinstall the DTM client on the test system.
4) Wait for client entry appear in the "Default Pool"
5) Change client status to "Reset", wait for it to become "Ready", and try locating the target as I describe above.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, that's good enough. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
EDIT:
I have around 5 Go space left on my Mac
Also, your getting very low on disk space. Try to copy some of the data off to other media. *Do it before you try applying the combo, you'll need the space.*

New Downloaded/Installed Cannon PPD Print Driver does not appear in driver list

I have downloaded and installed every new driver, 5 times, including he PPD driver for the Canon imagerunner 5570 printer, however when I add the printer the PPD driver does not appear in the list of drivers. the printer is on a wireless network and I was able to print before updating. I had not set up Time Machine until today so I can't go back, or can I. I am a new Mac owner so please be gentle.
Thanks

The PPD installer will copy files to HD > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj and the file names will be "cnxxxx.pdd". Can you first check that you have all the files installed.
If you do have the files then you can add the printer using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that the iR5570 does not support Bonjour so it won't appear in the Default view of Add Printer as Zlig suggested. You then enter the IP address of the iR5570, leave the queue name blank, change the name to something meaningful and then search for the ir5570 in the Print Using menu.
If there are no Canon iR models listed in the Printer List (typing iR in the Search field will determine this) then you should try resetting the printing system as follows.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move the mouse over the Printers list.
3. Hold down the Control key and then click the mouse
4. Click on the 'Reset printing system' pop-up
5. Close Print & Fax and restart your Mac
This will remove all the printer queues from Print & Fax but will not remove the printer drivers installed on the Mac. So you can try adding your print queue to the iR5570 again using the process above.

Please help as I do not know what to do or even what step to take next

I really need to solve this problem as I cannot receive mail in my Mail program except that each day one message—the same message—arrives. It comes from Mail Delivery System and the subject is Delivery Status Notification (Failure). No matter what time it arrives, it still has the date of 9/15 and the time of 8:39 AM. All other mail stays at Gmail and is not imported. This began I think when I opened one of those Mail Delivery System messages and it was completely blank, just one blank box.
In answering, please realize that I am not extremely computer-savvy.
I left a message here about my problem before (this weekend) but now cannot seem to find it. Do messages drop off?
Thanks for any help.

Please help, i movie is not exporting or sharing movies, it will closed unexpectedly please help?

Hi Videoframe
This was emailed to Apple Support on 23 DEc 2012 at 09:50 Eastern Australia time.
"I continued to talk to other Apple Mac users on iMovie….Interesting to have found out that their movies were made using iDVD without any known issues as yet…Looking at the results from Apple Support Forum and Youtube, problems appears to be when NOT using iDVD. I and many others can't understand how these many technical problems were overlooked by the programmers of iMovie. One would have thought iMovie problems have been iron out prior to getting rid of iDVD. By the way when I first contacted Apple Support back on 16th Nov, I was told I need to RE-INSTALL my computer…..that I did and in the process my iDVD was removed and never was re-installed.
May I suggest you delegate a junior person or someone string together a project consisting over near 1700 images, approx. 25mins of video footage, titles and including with and without transitions then export the project.
I am still in the dark as to what is being done about this extended non result. I am not sure if is known by the people who is in charge of this iMovie programme. it would be nice to get some sort of feedback. Not sure if I should refer this to a third party to do the testing?? I am sure Apple's competitors would love to make a mockery of this.
There has to be a time frame for this to end, as I and many others can't simply sit here in the dark and wait for someone to come back for a solution, this could be months or years who knows. As you can appreciate I am not the only user anxiously waiting for a solution.
I guess I am in a way representing other worldwide users in pursuing a solution on this matter ASAP. I therefore ask you to please make this a priority if this is at all possible.
Many thanks."
I've been corresponding to them since Fri 16th Nov on and off without a solution.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first 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 app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot 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.
If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

External Hard Drive does not appear in finder

We purchased a 1 TB G Drive Q from the Apple Store. It is connected to my wife's iMac running the most current update of Leopard by 800 firewire and appears on her desktop and works flawlessly with time machine. I am connected to the same drive intermittently with my MacBookPro also running the most current update of Leopard. i connect with 400 firewire. Initially the drive would not appear in the finder. for the initial backup, i turned the hard drive off and on and then it would appear and i did the backup but now when i connect to the 400 firewire port, it still doesn't appear in the finder. i would much prefer not to need to turn my back up drive off and on each time i want to use time machine. i should also mention that when i connect any of my garmin training devices or my power meter by USB it is recognized very quickly as a device in finder. any ideas? i understand this may be one of the problems fixed with SnowLeopard. thanks.

I am not sure what you are attempting to do. I assume that you are not trying to connect two computers to the same external drive at the same time. That will definitely be problematic. In order to effectively use Time Machine with two Macs, you should partition the drive into two partitions. Also make sure that the drive is using a GUID partition scheme.

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
What I did so far:
I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
Unzipped the basic zip.
Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
What am I missing?

hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

Look in the Utility folder which is located inside the Applications folder.
You don't want to do anything with the disk on a PC if you want it to work on the Mac. They both use different formats.

Epson DX5000 driver does not appear on list in'print using' box

Epson DX5000 driver does not appear in list despite the fact that I have downloaded the software.
When the printer is connected and I try and print I first go to 'add printer' in the print dialogue window. This takes me to the printer browser where the Epson DX5000 appears - at this starge I can't add as this option is not highlighted. Instead I have to go to 'print using' where I click on Epson - this is where the problems start as the DX is not on the very long list.

Hi Ali
Yes I have installed the software
I have been using another printer so I realise that I don't need to add printer each time - this is the first time using this new printer
After I 'add printer' I am taken to the printer browser where the RX5000 is listed (this is in the default browser mode) when I then click the RX5000 the name and location appear in the appropriate boxes but I am unable to press the 'add' button. I have to go to more printers where I then go on to look in the epson folder.
this is where I get stuck as my printer is not listed
