Superdrive not showing up in Windows bootcamp

I recently installed windows 8.1 on my 2011 imac and it all works fine except for the superdrive. When I go to "computer" where it should show the disks, all that shows up is Windows and macintosh HD. there are no removable disks (D:) or (E:) or whatever the superdrive should be, and when i put a disk in it cant be ejected until i boot into osx where the superdrive works fine. Is this normal or what?

But I did install the bootcamp drivers which made everything else work fine (keyboard, wifi, ect) so its wierd that the superdrive wasnt icluded. Anyhow, is there some kind of workaround for this issue? Thanks.

  • IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

    Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
    The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • 7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore

    7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore. Tried all the apple troubleshooting. Help?

    I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
    If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
    As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

  • Mapped Drive B:\ to a network share but does not show up in Windows Explorer.

    I mapped drive B: to a network share but it does not show up in Windows explorer.  I can go to the drive by typing b:\ but is not visible in explorer.  But if I login as local admin it shows up in windows explorer.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Lloyd Reeves,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    Disconnect the mapped drive and map it again.
    Ensure the user is using an administrator account; or change another user account to have a try.
    Create  a shortcut for a share folder and see if it will disappear.
    In addition,  it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
    Which method did you use to map drive?
    Was there any error message in the Event log? If so, please provide the      detailed information.
    For your information, please refer to this similar case:

  • Macintosh HD does not show up in Windows 7 bootcamp

    I recently decided to transfer some things over to my hardrive, which is NTFS and needs to be used with Windows. This hasn't been a problem before now as i would just restart into Windows 7, plug in the harddrive, access the Macintosh HD from Windows, and transfer whatever it is i need to. This was not possible when i tried this today. When i went to look for he Macintosh HD it is not showing up at all in Windows 7. Im not sure what happened between the last time i tried this and now. The only thing that i can think of is possibly one of the new updates from Lion may have done this. Anyways hopefully someone has had the same issue and might be able to provide some insight. Thanks so much everyone!

    Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
    So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
    I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
    Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

  • Boot camp not showing ''Create a Windows 7 install disk''

    So i am trying install windows 7 64 bit version on my 2008 macbook pro and i dont know if this is the problem or not, it doesnt show ''Create a Windows 7 install disk''.
    The other thing that i have not made clear is, when doing a windows 7 cd, do i need to burn ISO file on DVD or should i open it and burn all the files inside the iso image, to the disk?
    Is there any specific ways or versions of Windows 7 for bootcamp or i can dowload any tipe of windows 7, put it on cd and use it as a bootable CD?
    P.S.: I already had windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed on the macbook. I installed it from my friends copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and i cant find that CD anymore, so when i tried to do a new copy of windows on CD and do the bootcamp it didnt recognize it, like there was no installation disk. That means i should make a bootable CD with windows 7 files on it or what?
    Thanks for help.

  • Ipod does not show up in Windows or Itunes! tried everything!

    Here is the problem:
    This is a new problem. Ipod worked fine on this computer until recently.
    Ipod 5th gen does not show up in My Computer or Itunes.
    It seems that it happend after I installed the latest update to Itunes.
    What is happening:
    When Ipod is plugged into my USB (the same one I always used before) it never shows up in my computer or itunes and always says "Do Not Disconnect" never stops!
    What have I tried:
    I plugged it into my friends laptop! It worked fine. Window found it.
    I then used updater on it
    I did the 5 r's over and over again. Nothing
    I have reinstalled Itunes and tried that a few times
    I tried different USB ports, nothing
    I tried putting other items in my USBs and they work fine
    IPOD just refusses to be seen on this computer again.
    Any ideas? Thanks. This comp has my library and it is the one I use daily.

    Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.

  • IPod not showing up in Windows explorer / iTunes - not responding to reset

    I have updated my new (1 day old!!) iPod nano to the newest firmware (1.1.1.)... and now I can't use the iPod anymore.
    It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer. When I try to connect to it via Run, it says: 'E:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
    When trying to open Windows Explorer, it freezes - not showing any harddrives.
    When trying to connect to it via CMD (dos)... It reads: 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
    I have tried all the soft resets, hard resets etcetera. I have uninstalled the USB driver for iPod, uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled them both, used different USB ports. But still no success.
    I can't connect to it via iPod Updater, because Windows won't connect to it.
    The iPod itself does respond, although I can't find any data on it anymore.
    How do I get my iPod to work again: connect to my windows / iTunes player? Please, any help is appreciated!

  • How do I get to my bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar that do not show because my window size does not allow them to show?

    In the 3.x versions of Firefox there was an area after your last bookmark in the bookmark toolbar where you you could click and access all your bookmarks in the toolbar if the window size was not big enough to show them all.
    Now in 4.o all that shows are the bookmarks in the toolbar that fit in the window size. So if I have my browser window set to 900 pixels I can only see the bookmarks in the toolbar that fit in that area and I have no way of getting access to the ones that are not showing unless I make my window bigger. But even then my window can only get so large because of my monitor size at which point I can not access any of the other sites in the bookmark toolbar.
    Am I missing something or is there a glitch in the 4.0 version?

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there is no chevron sign after the last bookmark nor after the "Bookmarks" text that if clicked takes me to all my regular bookmarks and oddly does not even list my Bookmarks Toolbar folder. If I want to get into my bookmarks toolbar folder I have to the top menu and click "Bookmarks" next to the "History" link and then navigate to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. Something odd is definitely going on and it's getting annoying.
    Any suggestions welcome. I attached a screen shot so you can see.

  • Hard disk partition not showing up during window 7 install

    STOP - 0x00000116 error . I
    want to install fresh OS from usb stick but the hard disk partition is not showing up. Only USB stick is getting detected.
    Please help .. I have an interview and I need to fix this issue asap.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that your hard drive is not showing up, presumably as a bootable partition. I am happy to help, but I need a bit more clarification of your problem. You mention a 0x00000116 error as well, which is normally part of a Blue Screen of Death. Does this happen regularly as well, or is that the real complaint, that you are getting the 0x code and a BLue Screen on startup?
    That particular code is generally associated with a video driver problem.
    Is the hard drive you are trying to install to, a new replacement hard drive or the original hard drive?
    If you try to boot up the system, what error do you see?
    Are there any repeating flashing LED patterns, or beeping patterns?
    Assuming this is your original installed hard drive, did you try the recovery manager for the drive?
