My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?

I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

I already did permissions repair.
Please help.
Many Thanks!

I have a problem pretty much like that too, I updated my mac, and now my superdrive won't read my discs, but unlike yours, it spits the disc out.
I did find out that it can recognize DVD +R, sometimes, but it can nolonger recognize DVD -R.
Also my superdrive makes a sound like this: http://www.imeem.com/people/2tOboJ/music/gQwemcsY/superdrive_problemwav/
Sorry if I'm hitching on your post Alex, I also have another problem, and that is I can see the "reply to this post" icon but I cant see any icons that say "post new topic" anywhere, I wonder why. =(

Shuffle 2 - device not recognized... USB Driver?

I got the Shuffle 2nd Gen, plugged it into my PC, and it blinks orange with no install box on Windows, and a "device not recognized" error. Nano works fine on my computer, and my Shuffle works fine on a Mac laptop, so customer service told me it must be a problem with an outdated USB driver.
Here's the problem: I don't know where to get the USB driver update, because my PC is custom made, and I don't know who the manufacturer is. The customer service guy says to find the maker of the motherboard, but I'm not 100% sure how. My Device Manager says "VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller" is the only listed Enhanced (2.0) USB Port. I used a program to find the motherboard manufacturer, and I think it's a "Chaintech 7VJL APOGEE."
Can anyone help me find a USB driver? Might something ELSE be the problem?

Hey 655micha,
I'm sorry you're having an issue with a USB device. Do you get an error window that pops up? If so what does it say? Have you checked Device Manager? Is is just one device that isn't working? Has it ever worked before? Is it just one USB port in particular that isn't recognizing devices?
What model do you have? Here are the steps to find your product number. FN + ESC is the easiest way to find that information.

Zen Xtra 40G - PC Not Recognizing Unit after Firmware and Driver upgrade

I own a Zen Xtra 40G unit and have just recently upgraded the firmware to the latest version (.20.08). I then proceeded to upgrade to the latest Windows XP driver (.26.02) and after reboot, the system no longer recognized my jukebox.
I tried my room mates, still on an older version of the firmware, and his worked without a problem.
In order to check and see if it was a one time fluke, I uninstalled both the driver and Creative MediaSource and re-installed from the original CD.
Again, my jukebox (still with the new firmware) worked flawlessly. I then upgraded Media Source to the latest version (2.03.09) and rebooted only to find my jukebox still worked perfectly.
I then downloaded and installed the latest Windows driver again (.26.02) and rebooted. My PC stopped recognizing my jukebox again but my buddie's still worked without a problem.
Is there a known flaw with the Windows driver and the latest firmware version.
Could Creative fix the problem or let me know if there is a setting I need to change in order for my PC to recognize my jukebox under the latest software and drivers?

So am I to assume from that message you think I should revert back to the old driver?
Of course Technical Support was no help. Sometimes I think they either a) don't read English very well or b) don't read the entire e-mail.
Here's what they wrote:

Hard drive not recognized as a separate hard drive

I have a problem that has stumped me, Apple support, and the hard drive support folks.
When I connect my external hard drive(via firewire) to my eMac, it mounts and the icon shows up on the desktop. However, when I click on the external hard drive icon it appears to be a mirror image of my internal drive. What I get is a finder page with all my data from the internal drive available. This happens immediately after I connect the hard drive. It acts identical to my internal drive. If I delete something in my internal drive it is deleted in the external drive and vice versa. When I look under disk utilities both drives are listed and the external drive has the whole drive "available" (500GB). So it appears that the eMac does not recognize the external drive as a separate drive. I have tried a LaCie drive and currently a G-drive with the same results. I tried the G-drive on a friends iBook and it works like it should - showing up blank until data is dragged into it. I'm thinking there must be a setting somewhere on my eMac that is not allowing me to attach an external drive and have it work. I have Time Machine turned off and locked so I know it is not interfering.
Any ideas?

Did you try Király's suggestion about logging on using a different user account? If necessary, create a new, troubleshooting-only administrative user account (so that all user preferences are freshly created from defaults). If the test user account behaves as expected, that points to a user preference (or possibly the Desktop). Moving the preference file Király mentioned to the Trash or a holding folder, then logging out and back, would be a good start.
I don't know if 10.5 makes enough changes to affect preference checking tools from earlier OS versions; To check your user preferences (.plist) files in Terminal, copy and paste the following and press return:
find ~/Library -name '*.plist' -exec /usr/bin/plutil -lint {} \;
You can also download Preferential Treatment (which provides a GUI front end to the plutil command).

DVD drive not recognized as a start up drive

I have a Pioneer DVR-106D I installed in my Mac. It works fine except for one problem. I wanted to start up from it to re-install a program that's been finicky (another post for another time) and found out that when I hold down the "C" key, the drive isn't recognized. I restarted and held down the "option" key to show the recognized drives and it wasn't on the list.
Any clues why I can't get my Mac to recognize the drive on startup? Is this a dip switch problem, SCSI drive assignment problem? I'm stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
Information on the drive:
*PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D:*
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Model: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D
Revision: A606
Serial Number: CIDL110*** <Edited by Moderator>
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal

One of the things that helped me get my DVR-115 working reliably was to update the firmware. I can't remember what magic got me the updater and its rom image updater, but I'll look around to see if I can find it. I don't know if I'll be interupted, but I'll proceed anyway. It does require some work using the terminal application so I hope you have some command line experience here.

Canon lide 210 not recognized in yosemite. Latest driver downloaded

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite (10.10.1) I have lost capability with my Canon Lide 210 scanner and Jam XT bluetooth wireless speaker.
I have downloaded and installed the latest Canon driver to no avail. Any ideas? Both were working great before I upgraded to Yosemite.

The scanner driver file is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > TWAIN Data Sources. Here you will see the LiDE210.ds file. This package file contains information used by the scanner and removing the scanner entry in Print & Scan does not remove this file. You could trash this file (make sure you remove the entry from Print & Scan first) and then run the v17.7.1 scanner driver installer again.
If MP Navigator still fails it could actually be this application rather than the scanner driver at fault. Note that Image Capture uses a different driver called an ICA. So to test that the TWAIN scanner driver is okay you would need a TWAIN compatible application. And one such application is VueScan. Install this and see if you can scan without any error. If you can then it indicates the issue is with MP Navigator. If VueScan also fails then you do have a scanner driver issue.

G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Not Recognizing all of 2nd hard drive space

I just installed a 2nd Western Digital SATA II 500gb internal hard drive. It is only recognizing 465gb. I formatted the drive after installing. Just wondering if any one else has seen this issue before.

Sounds like you are counting to 1000 by stopping at 1000 instead of stopping at 1024 like you should.
Short answer is that one way of counting is used by the marketing division (and for printing the box) and the other is used by your computer. So nothing is wrong.

IDE drives not recognized with SATA as boot drive

Greetings All,
I have a new 865PE Neo2-P that has a 120 Gig SATA drive as its main boot drive. It's loaded with WinXP Home. I'm trying to add two IDE hard drives from my previous system to the on-board controller, and it simply refuses to recognize them at all.
I've read the FAQ, the manual, previous posts, etc., and I've tried the different BIOS settings suggested in the forum, and nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't been able to do as posted was to "set my SATA drive as the boot drive". The boot selections in the BIOS only list floppy, IDE-0, and some boot manager. Not sure if the boot manager was installed by my local PC assembler or not.
The PC shipped with the BIOS settings MSI recommends on page 3-22 and 3-23 for users wanting to use both SATA and IDE devices. That is to say:
Legacy Mode
P-ATA only
SATA Keep Yes
PATA Channel Both
SATA Ports P0-3rd/P1-4th
Changing the BIOS settings only seems to lose the DVD/CD drives, and the system wants to boot off of the IDE's rather than boot from the SATA.
What the ??!! is going on here? Why is it so difficult to get this MB to recognize IDE devices? I've never had this much difficulty before with any MB's, and I'm getting very frustrated.
What should I do next?

OK, I checked my notes. I did try these two BIOS settings without it working:
ATA On CHip Operate Mode: Native
ATA Config: SATA only
PATA Keep Enabled: Yes
PATA Channel Selection: Both
Set SATA as RAID: No(Only available in FIS2R/FISR versions only)
or
ATA On CHip Operate Mode: Native
ATA Config: PATA only
SATA Keep Enabled: Yes
Set SATA as RAID: No(Only available in FIS2R/FISR versions only)
Now, tonight I decided to try a different cable just to eliminate that. What I discovered is that the IDE1 socket is "out of spec". There are no bent pins, but the rightmost three columns of pins are larger than the others, too large for any IDE cable, and consequently it doesn't fit snugly in the socket!! (I tried plugging the MSI supplied cable from the DVD drive into that socket as well and it wouldn't fit.) I never noticed this before as I was pressing the cable in the socket as far as it would go.
I will talk to my local manufacturer to see about getting a replacement board. It's clearly messed up. Thank you MSI for the swell quality control.

USB ports not recognizing my Memory/USB/Flash drives

My macbook, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo (if that even helps), with Leopeord 10.5.5 's USB ports stopped working, but the weird thing is, when I plug in my iPod or mouse, they work. But when I plug in my Flash drive to try to open up some homework or SD card drive, anything that contains memory, it doesn't work, the computer shows that it has been plugged into my macbook through System Profiler, it also shows when it's gone, but the drive doesn't show up on my desktop and I can't find it anywhere. I know the flash drives are working because I tested them on different computers, safely removed them as well. Some people on a different forum suggested PRAM and SMC reset, I've done PRAM, but I don't see how it helps. please help! I need to be able to finish hmwk!!

Canvio 3TB HDD not recognized by other Devices

I am trying to connect this Canvio 3TB HDD to my Samsung TV and its not recognized. Tried connecting to the Samsung BRDVD player, not recognized. These devices recognize other HDD's but not this one. Any suggestions?

Yes, that should be fine. It would just operate slower usually. Do your devices recognize other drives that have that large of a capacity? Perhaps they can't see it because 3 TB is more than they support. I don't know for sure though. You may always want to contact Samsung.

My ipod touch is not recognized by my computer anymore

I don't know what to do. It started happening after I updated Itunes a couple of days ago.

Have you looked at this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
(iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows)
and/or
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
(iPhone, iPad, or iPod is not recognized by Windows due to driver installation issues)
The later would apply if An exclamation point appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager

New drive not recognized

I installed additional hard drive, icon showed up initially, now that drive is no longer recognized by computer: SATA internal drive 400 Gig Western Digital.
I set it up as 1 partition. How can I get computer to recognize the newly installed drive?
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Excellentpa has a 1.8GHz (single) G5 with 1GB RAM. I helped him install the SE16 WD4000KD without knowing the issues with that drive.
Quick Recap:
- installed WD4000KD drive in G5.
- drive initialized fine, but not recognized upon reboot.
- unrecognized drive removed
- now on startup, HD seems to speed up continuously and no functions work.
He's got the original OSX disk that came with the computer, but no apparent way to install the disk and access the disk repair utility since the CD drive door won't function.
Any ideas for a fix? Thanks!
