Recovery not showing drives

I am not seeing the recovery utiltiy when using Command R at startup -it goes to Internet Recovery instead.  The flah drive is fine and my time machine drive is working and connected and appear when restarting whith option.  Yet these do not show up in ercovery mode. 

Open Terminal.app and type this command
diskutil list
Do you see anything called something like 'Apple_Boot Recovery HD'?
If no, please list what you DO see or take a screenshot of the Terminal window (press 'command-shift-4, press the spacebar, move the cursor over the Terminal window so that it changes into a camera icon, click trackpad or mouse. The screenshot is on your Desktop).

  • I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

    i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
    its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

    iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
    How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
    The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

  • TS2176 my mac disk utility option is not showing drive where to install

    my mac disk utility option is not showing drive where to install

    Sadly, it sounds like the drive has died if it isn't  showing there, but on the off chance it's just really messed up...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

  • Expresscard slot not showing drives

    I have a sonnet firewire expresscard. It is not showing my drive. I tried two drives. Usally it will show in network as something. but nothing. Please help

    Not sure. Reading up on the Drobo, I see it is a RAID based configuration which may have something to do with it. RAIDs are not as commonplace in notebook configurations, so perhaps someone in the MacPro forums or Drobo support:

  • MSI X79A-GD65 8D not showing drives (hdd & optical) in windows

    Hi,
    For some reason my drives are not showing in windows or in device manager or anywhere. The show in bios. I'm not sure if it is a windows issue. I have a new build and the drives all showed for the first few days then after some updates they have gone.
    Do I need to update the bios? I have not updated it but I only bought the motherboard about 20 days ago.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry. I don't know what you mean about installing the drivers as media drivers. 
    Quote from: xmad on 25-March-13, 00:21:21
    Did you check in the disk manager? Can you see the HDD's etc there?
    To which ports do you have them installed?
    Have you installed teh ahci drivers and as media drivers?

  • Azure Storage Mounts but does not show drive letter in GUI

    I have created a Azure File Share.
    I am able to upload files to it.
    I am able to MOUNT it to my file system using the net use command
    When I type net use it shows the mapped drive
    I am NOT able to see it in my GUI nor am I able to switch drives.
    I am trying to access from an Azure Windows 2012 R2 VM inside the same subnet on a server in the same storage account.  Anyone tell me why I cannot see my mapped drive.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    That is a bit weird that the map drive works, but the net use command does not. Are you specifying a drive name during net use command as described in one of these two links: 
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-files/ 
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/27/persisting-connections-to-microsoft-azure-files.aspx
    If the drive letter is specified and it doesn't show up, another thing to try is a net use * /delete and retry the command. If this doesn't work either, please share the net use command you are using (just to double check, do not share your account name
    or key of course) and if need be we can take a closer look.

  • Lenovo Solutions Center not showing driver/BIOS updates?

    Hey all,
    Got a new H50-55 (AMD) and G50-45 today and updated everything including LSC. Both desktop and laptop LSC say to go onto Lenovo's site for firmware/BIOS updates and they both needed BIOS at the least. I can't really work out if anything else needs updating or not.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Callum.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I dont think there is no app to show updates for drivers or software apart from the think branded products which come with thinkvantage system update
    Cheers and regards,

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • Disk Utility does not show my internal hard drive.

    Recently, my Macbook Pro crashed.
    THE PROBLEM
    1. I turn it on, it starts normally at first, the Apple Logo Shows for several seconds
    2. It changes to a no-smoking sign without the cigarette
    3. If I try to boot safe mode, a folder appears with a question mark
    4. If I try the internet recovery, I get to the part where I can restore OSX, use disk utility, etc.
    5. When I try to restore OSX, it doesn't show my hard drive as avilable to install upon - no drives are shown
    6. When I try to use disk utility, it only shows my Mac Base System, totaling 2GB, I cannot do anything.
    THE QUESTIONS
    1. What do I do? Thoughts? How do I recover my hard drive data before sending this computer to Apple to fix?
    2. How can I use an external enclosure to recover my data using my desktop? What cords do I need? What is a good drive? Is it hard?
    3. My SD card slot shows, could I install OSX on that and try to load my OSX to gain access to my harddrive that's missing?
    4. Why would my main hard drive not show? I'm supposed to have a 250GB hard drive.
    5. Is there anything I can do on Terminal to try to make my full hard drive appear? Or gain access?
    6. What will Apple do with my RAM that I installed? I upgraded to 8GB? Will they just return as is?
    Thank you.

    Youre working the wrong end trying to revive a dying drive, a replacement is only $65
    Did you have a backup of your vital data?
    Terminal isnt going to do anything to help your HD.
    questions:
    1.  get a new HD, install OS........recovery internal HD data using another computer and throwing the internal HD into a USB enclosure to extract data......however depending on the HD, data extraction may prove futile.
    2. external USB enclosure, comes with USB cable....takes 3 mins to put internal HD into enclosure.
    3. no,...... installing OS on a dying drive is beating a dead horse,...
    4. because its dead/ dying.
    5. no
    6. Yes, they wont mess with your RAM.
    Contact Apple for fix, of if you have the skills you can install a new HD yourself

  • Wireless Driver not showing up

    Need help please. I've done a lot of searching for a solution to my issue and nothing has seemed to work. computer froze wouldn't do anything, so I hard shut it off by holding power button. Started it back up and Wifi capabilities is gone. I opened up HP recovery to install the WiFi driver, installed it, restarted the laptop. Opened up device manager and the driver is still not showing up. Airplane mode is off. I even did a system restore and nothing happened. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi
    First of all WLAN can be enabled or disabled with the hardware switch on the notebook and FN+F8.
    Did you check this?
    Which driver did you try to install?
    I can recommend the drivers from the Toshiba website because I never had problems with these:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    If it doesnt work you should it with SP2 only. Sometimes SP3 causes compatibility issues that can be solved with SP2 only.

  • MacPro RAID card not initiating recovery after defective drive replaced

    One of my artists is using an Early 2009 Mac Pro on 10.9.5 (13F1077). On Saturday morning, while he was not in the office, Drive 1 warned that SMART was reporting early signs of failure. The RAID card degraded the RAID set. I replaced Drive 1 and marked it as a global spare; but recovery is not initiating. I have, subsequent to installing the drive and marking it as a global spare, rebooted the Mac Pro; but the RAID Utility is not showing any Tasks running, and especially nothing about rebuilding the RAID set. As of now, the RAID set and RAID volume are not available. It appears that I can either try to preserve the data on the drives, or I can attempt to manually rebuild the RAID set; but not both. Unfortunately, the artist had all of his projects on the RAID and had not backed them up to servers at the time of the failure.

    If a Disk Fails If a RAID set or volume becomes degraded because a disk has failed, you can use RAID Utility to identify the disk that needs to be replaced.
    Note: If your RAID setup includes a spare drive, it is automatically incorporated into the RAID set, and the set switches from degraded to good as soon as the recovery process finishes. If there is no spare, the set will remain degraded until you replace the failed drive, and if a second drive fails before you replace the first, you could lose data.
    To replace a failed disk:
    1  Open RAID Utility, select the RAID set or volume that is displaying a problem status indicator, and look for a drive bay with a red status indicator. The bay numbers in RAID Utility correspond to the numbered drive bays in your Mac Pro or Xserve.
    2  Replace the bad drive module.
    3  Use the Make Spare command to set up the new drive as a global spare. If no spare was available when the original drive failed, the RAID card uses the new spare immediately to rebuild the affected RAID set and volumes. If a spare was available at the time of the failure, it is already incorporated into the affected RAID set, and the new spare remains available until it is needed.

  • External drive not showing up

    Hi everyone, I'm having some problems with my latest upgrade to Mavericks. Since I upgraded my 1 of my external drives is not showing up. I was able to find it in disk utility, but the name is grayed out. I've tried first aid on it which seems to be successful, but it won't mount. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a MacAir. I did not have any problems previously to this, so any suggestions would be appreciated. However, reformatting is not an option. I have too many pictures and documents on this drive (business), but I have to be able to view it. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, just some ideas that might help.  Is it possible that the drive is just not showing up in the sidebar?  Have you checked by looking under the Devices section in the sidebar of the Finder and clicking on your computer?
    I'm assuming you are probably looking on the desktop for the drive to show up though.  If it is not showing up there at all, I would suggest trying some of the suggestions in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24530176#24530176
    That is, can you connect the drive to another computer and see if it mounts there?  Does it show up in the system profiler?
    Do you own any disk recovery software in case there is a problem with the disk that Disk Utility can't repair?  e.g. Disk Warrior.
    If none of these suggestions works, I'd suggest you post your results and also some more information about the drive (e.g. the brand and capacity) and the connection (presumably USB?) you are using in case someone else can help you.

  • Rescue & Recovery files not showing

    I'm running R&R 4.21.0016.00 on a IBM Netvista 8307-GU6. I have formated my USB drive and created a new back to that drive and also created a new CD rescue media but when I boot from the CD it doesn't find the bacjup files. When I look at the backup file from Windows XP it is there with the correct date. In R&R under Windows XP it shows the drive as a second drive but does not show under drive when booting from CD. Any ideas....?

    The school probably loaded a custom opertaing system image which most likely does not include the restore partition.
    You will need to find a set of recovery discs if you want a factory image. Alternatively, You can load plain windows if you find an OEM install cd and use the product key number on the COA sticker located on the bottom of your Thinkpad. The drivers download from here.

  • External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

    External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?
