Raid shows up in /Volumes/ and can be shared, doesn't show in Finder

The left side of this raid is fine, but the right side is doing something odd.
This is running on a G4 Xserve with 10.4.11 Server, and has been running fine for a year or so. 1.33 Firmware hooked up with fibre channel directly to server.
A few days ago, we stopped being able to mount the 2 shared folders on the right side of this Xraid, I looked at the desktop and the icons were gone so I rebooted the server. When it came back up, users could mount the drive using afp just fine, but for some reason the drives don't appear on the desktop now or the sidebar. Finder just doesn't see it at all. I checked the prefs and even deleted the Finder and Desktop .plists but it didn't change anything.
It shares fine, and in Workgroup Manger you can go to sharing and even browse the contents of the drives. I can see it in terminal when I do a diskutil list and it's in /Volumes/ correctly.
In Disk Utility it shows up, but it doesn't look right. The icon for the set is broken and looks like a piece of paper, and it can't read the drive space available/used and says there are 0 files. It does see the correct Capactiy however. If you Unmount the drive, the icon changes back to a little Xraid but as soon as you Mount it it goes back to that paper icon.
It does the same thing when I hook it up to other servers, always shows up in /Volumes but never in finder.
I've restarted the controller and the processor with no luck. Disk Repair repaired one thing, but didn't fix the problem.

SafeMode won't work for that and holding the trackpad button down before and during the boot cycle is supposed to work.

rebooting pressing the option-button also didnt work.
Not by itself, when you reach Startup Manager (row of bootable icons) you supposed to press the eject key there.
Note your supposded to use the built in keyboard (or wired if desktop model) for the at boot key commmands

  • Does anyone know how to get the notification screen in iOS 7 to show the weather?  Not showing on my phone, and the weather app doesn't show in the notification dialog.

    I am not seeing the weather in the notifications for 'today'.  The weather app doesn't show up in the notifications dialog either.  What to do?

    First make sure that Weather is listed in Notification Center, mine is a the very end of the list. If it's not go below to the Do Not Include list and see if it's there. If it is manually turn it on to appear in the main list.
    Now when I swipe down from the home screen I get the date and any Today events, and below that a weather forecast stating the high and low for the day. If none of that is showing try shutting down and restarting your phone and see if that appears also make sure the Weather app is on one of your home screens, launch it from there and that alone may set everything up.
    The weather app is just not listed.  I did a soft reset, no improvement.  I'm at a loss for anything else to try.  Since the app is a system app, I can't delete and reload it.
    This is hardly an earthshattering problem, but it bugs me.

  • I downloaded an app on my ipad and can't get it to show up on my iphone and I have the icloud enabled

    i downloaded an app on my ipad and can't get it to show up on my iphone and I have the icloud enabled

    Is the app compatible with the iPhone (i.e. it's not an iPad-only app) and do you have the relevant iOS version on your iPhone ? Does it show in the Purchased section in the App Store app on the phone for you to download it (re-downloading) ?

  • I just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences.

    i just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
    In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
    After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users"

  • I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

    I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.  I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC?  Thanks

    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.

  • Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

  • Where has the Application Bar gone in CS6 and can I get it to show?

    I use this a lot in CS5 and notice it isn't showing in CS6, is there any way to make it show?

    The Application Bar was intentionally removed. A majority of users told us they'd rather have the extra vertical space for their images than the Application Bar.
    All of the commands are available elsewhere or can be access more easily with keyboard shortcuts:
    Mini-bridge is accessible from the bottom panel (now a part of the default UI).
    Cmd + Opt + o (Mac) Ctrl + Alt + o (Windows) to launch Bridge.
    Show Guides: Cmd + ; (Mac) Ctrl + ; (Win)
    Show Grids: Cmd + ' (Mac) Ctrl + ' (Win)
    Show Rulers: Cmd + r (Mac) Ctrl + r (Win)
    Zoom level can be controlled via keyboard shortcuts or UI found at the bottom of the document window.
    You can access the arrange options under the Window>Arrange> menu
    Screen mode has been added back to the bottom of the tool bar.
    CS Live has been discontinued.

  • IPod connects and charges, but now doesn't show up on desktop or in iTunes

    I've seen numerous threads/topics about iPods not connecting/showing up...and most say to reset, but if i can't even get it to show up in iTunes in order to reset how do I go about this?? Also, if I reset, am I losing all my music/worked saved on it??
    I plug it in and it flashes like normal when its connected on the iPod screen, but it doesnt show up on the desktop or pop up in iTunes.
    thanks in advance!

    A reset is just rebooting the iPod. You will not lose anything and can be done without a computer...
    Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
    If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few/several tries.
    See this thread as an example of what I mean by needing to try it many times...

  • TS1453 Apple TV doesn't show up in my iTunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting steps, updated all software, restarted Apple TV, wireless router and computer. Devices doesn't show up at all in my sidebar.Apple TV doesn't show up in preferences

    Help.  My Apple TV won't sync with my computer.  I've done all the troubleshooting tips, but Apple TV doesn't show up in my Preferences under devices.  
    2. Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected.
    I see no option to select "look for Apple TV's" in Preferences, and there is no device list at all in my sidebar.
    3. If Firewall is on in Mac OS X (in the Sharing pane of System Preferences), make sure iTunes Music Sharing is selected.
    There is no option to select iTunes Music Sharing in my System Preferences - see screenshot
    I've updated all software, restarted Apple TV, my wireless router, and my computer.  Both my computer and the Apple TV are connected to the same wireless network and both are operating properly.  They just wont connect to each other.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    FIRSTLY: bookmark following for further reference (it describes basic setup, both to link for syncing and to stream - from any computer.)
    Apple TV (1st generation): Differences between syncing and streaming" )
    Now as to your problem: If you check under "Computers" in the "Settings" menu you will most likely see the name of your iTunes library Greyed out. IF that's the case, you'll basically need to re-setup your ATV., you can do so as follows (instructions are intentionally over described, but basically your disconnecting then reconnecting your ATV1. Downside (which seems to come with all methods is that you'll have to resync all your media)
    **A (not ideal but effective solution)
    If ATV 1 had been working but suddenly 'disappeared" from iTunes sidebar
    The following solution will almost surely work  to regain your ability to Sync:
    QUIT iTunes
    Select "Computers" from "Settings" Menu.
    Select your "greyed out" iTunes library.
    This will bring up a window named "Disconnect from iTunes"
    You're now given the choice to Cancel, or disconnect. WITH THE WARNING that if you disconnect any  content synced with iTunes, will be erased. (in fact it will be removed from your ATV but not your computer)
    Assuming ALL of your media IS on your computer, Go ahead and disconnect.
    Follow instructions in the Apple doc above about setting up your ATV as a paired computer.
    After you ATV gen1 reappears in the sidebar. Reset all your desired syncing preferences,
    Begin syncing.
    All will be fine again, (at least till the next time this occurs.) I've had to do this twice this year.
    ALTERNATELY:
    SHARING (a QUICKER, less destructive TEMPORARY solution (if you just want to play your media now)
    You CAN set your computer to Share by following instructions in the same doc under the heading:
    "How to connect to a shared computer"
    HOWEVER, this will not allow you to sync info.
    I've read alternate solutions on this board, one involved changing the name of your iTunes Library etc... you may wish to try this first (if it applies) https://discussions.apple.com/message/17943841?ac_cid=142432#17943841
    What I'd like to know: What causes this problem...  I'm suspecting iTunes updates, or any iTunes database issues or crashes. Or maybe too many visitors connecting to your other Apple devices (ATV 2 for example) or heck the weather in Guatemala...

  • I'm a podcaster and my latest episode doesn't show up in the iTunes store

    I have The ****** Off World of Uncle Hal Radio Show and I have had a great time with it. Every week I upload my show and then ping iTunes. My latest episode will show up in the store pretty quick. I have subscribed to my own podcast (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=173914731) and can download the latest episode but in the iTunes store my latest show (Episode 29) does not show up. My latest episode shows up on all directories on line and in my subscription in iTunes but not on the store! Anyone know what's going on? There should be 29 shows...not 28.
    Thanks,
    Hal

    I'm having the same problem.

  • I'm trying to update my apps in my macbook , the apple id is not mine and it's disabled and cannot change it, I'm the admin and my apple id shows correctly in iTunes and iCloud etc. only app store shows a disabled apple id why?! the computer has3 accounts

    Problem - grayed out apple id in app store
    I have signed in to my account, I am the admin and my apple id is correct shown in itunes, and other apps except the appstore.
    In Appstore, it shows another email id and it is disabled.  
    Problem
    1. I do not know why another email id is visible in my account (we have separate accounts on this laptop , all admins)
    2. Why wouldn't it allow me to change the login name and let me get on with my updates!!
    Options already looked
    1. phone - asked me to go to support blah blah .apple.com
    2. internet - i'm here.
    3. Applet id - manage on line- all is well there. no need to change anything.
    4. other apps with apple id involved - checked and works fine.

    Do you recognize the ID?
