Removed flash drive while ejecting and will no longer show - Help?

Not in Finder or any directory or Disk Utility or anywhere. Should be able to get at Console logs. Any chance of recovering data? This is not urgent as I should be able to source the most important files from elsewhere. It's merely a cheap little Paris St-Germain 4GB souvenier. Thanks in advance and apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Sounds like the directory got badly corrupt. That can happen any time you disconnect an external drive without ejecting it first.
Unfortunately, if it's not showing up in Disk Utility, repairing it may not be possible. You could try using DiskWarrior to repair it, or could try using something like Data Rescue to recover the data. In the latter case, you'll lose all the filenames and folder organization.

You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:

Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back.

My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on. Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.
i have just purchased it before a couple of days a go.

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

When is Apple will make a Micro USB Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones ???

IIt's really a big help if Apple make their own Micro USB a Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones.

Apple would not tell people there are other brands on the market. It is my opinion that if Apple users keep asking for the USB for ipads, they might consider it. As for the iphone there MIGHT be a tiny slot inside where the battery is for an SD card, which expands the space. I know Android has that feature in their cell phones, but not sure about Apple.

Video's removed from iPhone and will no longer Sync

I have recently purchased an iPhone 3G and have been setting it up over the last few days.
I eventually discovered that I can convert videos from my old phone to .mp4 format, added them to iTunes and sync'd with teh iPhone and was able to view them on my iPhone with full sound and colour, all good...
However I have just tried adding some more and found that all the video's i had previously sync'd have dissappeared from my iPhone, and iTunes will no longer allow me to sync them back to the phone.
I do not get an error message, and it appears when i drag and drop the files to the attached device, that it is ok, and then nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me why these video's will no longer appear on my iPhone.

Not really very helpful, was looking for some hint and tips to get round something of that nature, if indeed it is...
However, as i stated before, the video's were transfered before, and worked, and then removed and will no longer transfer?

ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
Go to
Settings
Main, contacts etc.
scroll down to "Contacts"
under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
This solution worked for me!

Not charging
1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

My WD external hard drive will no longer show up on my Macbook pro.

My WD external hard drive will not longer show up on my macbook pro. The light turns on and you can hear it running but it won't show up either in finder or in the disk utility. This happened a while ago but I really want to get all my photos off the hard drive. Is there anything I can do to get my computer to read it again or get my data off of it?
I don't have access to another Mac to test it.
Thank you

dead sata bridge card. very common problem.
see all about it here:
Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
verify HD on another Mac however, if same, dead SATA card most likely
