SSD Not recognised by OSX when Plugged in to any MP drive bay?

I've just plugged a new OCZ 3.5" SSD into my Mac Pro and I get no pops-up to say it's been seen by the OS and Disk Utility can't see it. I've tried in all 4 bays with same result.
Is this likely to be a duff drive or am I doing something stupid?
Thanks
Paul

Do you have the Apple RAID card installed?
If no, and the drive cannot be seen by Disk Utility, it cannot be repaired or initialized by any software means.
Is it installed straight on the sled? Is it right-side up to mate with the backplane?
Is the sled being inserted completely flat so that the connector actually mates with the backplane? (this may require lying on your back and watching it while shining a bright light inside your Mac.)

  • My computer is not recognising my iPhone when plugged in.  It was fine with my old iPhone 3.  Any suggestions?, My computer is recognising my iPhone when plugged in.  It was fine with my old iPhone 3.  Any suggestions?R

    My computer (windows) is not recognising my new iPhone when plugged in.  It was fine with my old iPhone 3.  Any suggestions?

    My girlfriend had this same issue.  It ended up being her cable. 
    It was very weird and confussing as the first cable would allow the phone to show up on my laptop but not my girlfriends.  So we thought the cable was fine. 
    Further the first cable would allow the iPhone to sync with itunes on her laptop but not show up in her "My Computer." 
    By chance we tried a different cable and it worked fine on her laptop and instantly showed up in her "My Computer."
    All very weird but try a couple different cables and see if that fixes the problem first before resorting to other time consuming steps. 

  • Itunes is not recognising my ipod when plugged in to my computer

    I have recently updated itunes and my ipod is no longer recognised by my computer when i plug it in.

    Hi claremike,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that your iPod Classic is not connecting to iTunes on your Windows computer after you completed an update to iTunes. There could be a few different things that could cause this. I suggest starting with number 1 in the following article and using the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. If the issue remains unresolved after you complete the troubleshooting assistant, continue in this article on number 2 and work your way down.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    I hope this helps,

I have tried the Apple troubleshooter for this problem but it didn't help. ie I've restarted itunes, restarted iPad, reinstalled iTunes, etc. Any ideas?

  • I have a Iphone 42 and want to transfer my photos to my PC why does my computer not recognise the Iphone when I connect it to the pc?

    Can any help. I want to transfer photos on my Iphone 4s to my PC, my computer will not recognise the phone when I connect via the USB port to the PC.  Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Do you get any response from the computer when you plug the phone in? I'm guessing that you are going into Computer to see if you find the phone? If you go into Device Manager, do you see any errors in the USB area?
    See this support document and pay particular attention to step 5 regarding drivers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Urgent- Zen X-Fi not switching on even when plugged in

    I left my Zen X-fi in the glove box of my car for two nights and when I retrieved it today it will not switch on, even when plugged into the computer via USB or through my mains adaptor . I have tried using the reset button and tried to recovery it using recovery mode, but that is not working. I am going on holiday in two days and I need it fixed urgently. Any help please?

    **** it! After ordering a new battery at my own expense and nearly two hours carefully disassembling the device and soldering a new battery on, my worst fears were confirmed because the device still isn't working. It looks like the player has well and truly died and there appears to be nothing more I can do to fix it.
    Looks like I will have to fork out for a new device. Any suggestions on what model I should go for?

  • HT4061 my computer is not recognizing my iphone4s when plugged in

    I got a new computer, (HP  Pavillion)  and it is not recognizing my iphone4s when plugged in. What to do?
    nnurlaw

    You could try the PRAM and SMC reset.
    Are there any other USB devices plugged into the machine, if so unplug them.
    As a work around you could use a powered USB hub until you can get the problem fixed.
    Use the system report to check on any anomolies in the power and USB sections.

  • I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
    Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
    Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
    Assign a simple name.....something like     2ndGenExpress

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
