[SOLVED] Thunar doesn't show external volumes anymore

Hello,
Thunar used to show external devices (USB sticks, iPod, ...) in the left panel (when displaying shortcuts instead of tree). For some reason I can't figure, it doesn't do it anymore.
All I have in the left panel is the standard "home, Desktop, filesystem" and the static links to the different folders I placed there.
I tried to uninstall completely thunar and remove the configuration files, then re-install it, but it changed nothing.
Desktop : openbox.
Running daemons (I'm not sure if all of theme are relevant) : dbus, hal, fam.
.config/Thunar/thunarrc :

[SOLVED] Thunar doesn't show any USB storage devices.

Hi,
i'm using arch for a quite long time now and thankfully never had to use the support forums, because of the great wiki but this time i really got stuck...
Installed a fresh arch a few days ago, because of an HDD Crash and now i can't see any USB devices (SD-Cards/USB-Sticks) in Thunar anymore and so i always have to mount them in terminal :-/
Already installed thunar-volman and gamin, and i am member of the storage group.
Any help ? Thanks !

Thunar doesn't show the partitions mounted in fstab[SOLVED]

Hi everyone,
I am running XFCE 4.10 in archlinux and today when i added couple of partitions to fstab and rebooted my system I noticed that thunar doesn't show the partitions that I added to my fstab. what should i do to make it appear in thunar ?
here is my fstab:
/dev/sda5 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/disk-1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Maybe an old thread, but I came up with a different solution. By default Thunar mounts NTFS partitions under
/run/media/<username>/<UUID of NTFS drive> .
If the fstab is updated with a path different from above for your NTFS partitions, they end up not being displayed in bookmarks.
So, to overcome this, create your mount points in
/run/media/<username>/<mount point dir>
and point to those dirs while adding entries to fstab.

My external drive mounts but doesn't show in Finder anymore?

I was accessing my iMac external backup drive over the network from my laptop and it suddenly greyed out. Going to my iMac I discoverd that the drive was mounted according to Disk Utility and my backup utility could find it but it doesn't show on my desktop or the sidebar of the Finder window. I can access it thru the Go to Folder menu item. I can then drag items to it but can't save items to it directly since it doesn't show up in Finder. I have checked Finder preferences, restarted the iMac, dismounted (in Disk Utility) and remounted it. I've also eliminated it in Sharing system preferences. No luck on all counts. I connected it to the laptop and it behaves the same way. Doing a Google search turned up the possiblity that it has become "invisible" but I'm confused as to how to change this attribute. I'm hoping there is a simple Terminal command I can use.
Looking for some help here!

Yes I did Eric. Then just found the answer. Volume became hidden and I used a Terminal command.
Thank you for reading my question and suggesting a solution!

Tiger doesn't mount any volume anymore... advance help needed.

Last weekend I made a 'deep clean' to my laptop, migrating my files to an external hd, then formatting, installing Tiger again and moving my stuff back.
I changed my startup disk several times in the process, using both ways, from System Preferences and pressing alt at start. At some point I couldn't see the external disks on my desktop anymore... So far I've made some attempts, in both accounts, mine and root user.
- Disk Utility keeps crashing before opening.
- In Terminal, diskutil verifyPermissions do nothing (my experience with unix commands is quite limited though)
- Cocktail crashes everytime I try to choose the disk.
- Software Update doesn't work, and can't mount any .dmg or CD or DVD either. I've tried to download an update from apple.com, but once downloaded nothing happens.
- System profiler doesn't show info about my ATA devices.
- TechTool Pro passes all tests (??).
Still I can choose the startup disk by pressing alt when starting (so dvd drive and FireWire connections are fine, I guess).
Using a LaCie as a startup disk my internal hard disk has all its permissions fine (DiskUtility & TechTool) or is not possible to read them (Cocktail)...
The only solution is apparently to start again: external startup, migrating, formatting and installing again... Unless you guys have a better idea.
Has anyone found this problem before? Is there any way to fix it?
Sorry, I'm Spanish and my English is a bit rough sometimes
Thanks in advance.

I reformated the computer - everything wenf fine then.

MbP doesn't recognize external HD anymore!?

Hi,
I know there are some disscusions about this topic, but nothing is really like mine problem I think.
So my problem is; suddenly my mbp did not recognoze my external hd anymore. I was watching a serie from my EHD, and I wanted to click to the next episode.
My mbp said; 'external hard drive in 'save mode'. So I tried to get it back through disck utility, I checked my settings in finder. I tried to start up my mbp a coulpe of times. Tried to start it up in save mode, single user mode and all the other tricks. Nothing worked.
Then my seconds problem came up. My mbp got stuck in the save mode. It did not wanted to start up at all. So I made a appointment at the apple store to get it ficked. They said to me to try to start it up with the option key. So that I can start it up from the right harddrive (witch was my external probably)
So I did that and it worked. Made a back up of course. But my mbp still does not see my EHD. no where. Not in disck utility or anything.
I know my EHD still works, because I see the light, and hear it somethimes. I also tried to let it work with a other usb cable and other inputs.(it did not work)
I want to try to solve this problem by my self firts before I make a new appointment at the apple store. but I need a little help from you guys.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, anyone with experience with this?
Please help me out here please.
Thanks allready!

- Seems like the HD died.
- I do not understand what yo mean by
There is an offer to copy the contents of my hard drive to another hard drive, but only if I erase the target drive?????
How did you get the Disk Utility?
Did you try booting to Recovery?
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
You should be able to select the disk and try to repair it. Nothing should be listed about moveing it

Finder doesn't show recent pictures anymore

My finder does not show pictures anymore that are imported in iTunes in the last months. What to do? This problem started some weeks ago.

Does iPhoto show them? If so, right click on a photo and select 'Show File'. This will open a finder window with the file highlighted.
If you want to access a file Drag and drop it to the Desktop, this will create a copy of the file there. Or you can use File -> Export, which will also create a copy.
Remember, iPhoto is a database, and like all databases is designed so that you access the data - in this case your pictures - via the application, not through the Finder.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder in v6:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Inside each of these folders there will be rolls arranged based on date.
If iPhoto doesn't show them, then they have not been successfully imported.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't. I suggest that you try the iPhoto Forum.
Regards

Finder Doesn't Show External Firewire, But Pathfinder Does

Hey Folks,
Am hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I've been using Pathfinder for a while, but have wanted to switch back to the normal Finder of late. My only hitch is that, for some reason, the Finder doesn't show an external firewire drive I've got running, while Pathfinder does.
The drive is available -- when I go into terminal, the drive is listed. Again, it's just not showing up in the drive list in the Finder.
Any thoughts? I tried dumping my Finder prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Cheers,
Anthony

Finder->Preferences->General->cycle HDs to show on Desktop. If not, launch Disk Utility->select the FWHD and unmount it. Turn its power off, disconnect the FW cable, and shutdown the machine for five or so minutes. Restart the machine, reinstall the FW cable, and power it up.

Timemachine doesn't show external drive (that has now died)

Hi, I've had timemachine backing up my HD and two external firewire drives (one with my 11gb iphoto library on it).
If I open the timemachine generated Backups.backupdb folder in the finder, the contents of the 3 drives are all there in separate folders. Fine.
One of the external drives has just died, so I want to restore my iphoto library (i.e. move it from timemachine to the other external drive).
But when I enter timemachine, the dead drive doesn't show up.
If I try to copy the file I want to restore via the finder, it says it will take 450 hours!
What can I do?

Do NOT copy the folder via the Finder.

In my post I referred to the problem of digiKam v.1.1.0 not autorotating images correctly anymore when it's downloading and processing them from the camera, whereas v. 1.0.0 did so correctly (without to my knowledge having any Kipi plugins installed). I.e. v.1.1.0 is configured to autorotate but it doesn't really do it; it doesn't rewrite the EXIF orientation tag. It does display portrait images correctly in its own viewer (and so does Gwenview) but the other programs don't when they access these images in the album directory. They show the wrong orientation but none of them, Gwenview included, has any problem in allowing me to manually rotate the image to the correct orientation that can then be passed on e.g. to Thunderbird.
Of course, I could process all the images taken in portrait orientation manually, e.g. in GIMP, but why do so when digiKam 1.0.0 and earlier used to do it automatically. Besides, the image rotation in digiKam is supposed to be lossless which may not be true if I use other programs.
Again, a short summary: portrait image from camera downloaded with digiKam -> displayed correctly in digiKam (and Gwenview) but not really rotated according to EXIM tags -> can be rotated further (another 90 deg) and saved in digiKam or Gwenview and can then be displayed correctly in GIMP, Firefox and Thunderbird but would not be correctly displayed anymore in digiKam and Gwenview.
I haven't figured out how to rotate images in Gwenview from the CLI, hence can't produce any error messages.
Sorry to be so verbose again.

[SOLVED] akregator doesn't show images in the preview pane

I have three different PCs with Arch and kdemod-legacy (that is, kde 3.5.9) and on all of them I use akregator (a RSS/Atom feed reader).
One of the feed I subscribed is from an image board: when new images are uploaded to the site, I'm notified and clicking on the link in the articles section of akregator I can see in the lower pane a thumbnail of the image.
However this doesn't happen on my third pc: I *suppose* the installed applications and libraries are the same between all the machines, and the akregator options seems to be same as well.
Does anybody have an idea about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for your reply.
Daren wrote:do you have the option set to load the full article in the pane?
Without this, it just displays an overview.
That's right - I don't use that option because it's usually unnecessary: the overview usually does show a thumbnail of the image, and I can avoid loading the entire page.
Anyway, I noticed that switching from RSS to Atom (for the same feed, I mean) solves the issue - so maybe it was related to the type of feed used.

Finder doesn't show external hard disk

I have a multimedia hard disk which until recently when I connected to my Imac it would show on the left side column of Finder. lately, though, it either takes a while to show up or it doesn't. The disk works fine when I connect it to may TV. Is there a command to "search" external devices or to get a report of what is connected?
Thank you.

Hi LM,
To add to the advice above, sometimes an external drive won't mount in the Finder or Desktop if the internal drive hasn't enough free space. Open Disk Utility, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the First Aid button. Now look at the bottom right side of the window. You'll see: Capacity and Available. Make sure your available free space is at least 20% of the total capacity. It takes 15% just to boot a Mac.

Finder window in internet doesn't show external hard drive. But it's connected and shows up in normal finder window.

Mac OX X 10.6.8. My mac works great with my external hard drive (my passport). When I go to attach a file to facebook, email, or upload anything directly from my external, the finder window that pops up no longer shows my external as being connected. But when I go to finder on the macbook, it shows that my external is there and I can access files no problem. This JUST started happening. What's wrong?

The hard drive won't show up in finder or disk utility, however i can see it in airport utility.
You would not expect it to show up in disk utility .. it does not work on network drives.
Finder may or may not be able to see it.
If the airport utility is showing the drive you have some possibility.
Did you GUID partition the drive .. or is it still MBR.. ie if it was originally formatted for PC it will be MBR and won't work.. so put it on the Mac again and change the GUID partition.. I would also set a smaller partition size.. the internal drive of the TC is partitioned though you cannot see them.. put a first partition less than 1TB and see how it goes.
In finder.. don't forget ML has issues with network drive.. make sure you tick all the extras in finder preferences.. and if the drive won't mount try to do it manually.. go .. connect to server.
AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.. where you use the actual name or IP.
Also is the power supply for the hub at least 2A preferably more.. so the hub is powered but the disk is not powered??
