Unable to see Mac drive after installin (win7) on fresh installation of Yosemite

Previously I upgraded from mavericks to yosemite with bootcamp installed, but now I did a fresh installation and I can't view the drive anymore. Read somewhere it's due to Yosemite breaking the HFS+ driver. Is that the case?

Please see windows 8 does not recognise Macintosh HD, No drive Letter for an explanation.

    Try Prosoft Data Rescue first:

    And if that doesn't work, the new Disk Warrior 4.0:
    http://www.alsoft.com/
    If neither works, you may need to get it to a data recovery specialist.

  • I am unable to erase hard drive after a crash, also cannot reinstall Lion because disk is locked.  There seems to be nothing else to do, suggestions?  Where do I go from here?

    I downloaded Lion 100 days ago (conveniently after the 90 day tech support)  now my HDD has crashed and it gets stuck at the apple screen.  I then hold command R and go to disc utility try to repair, that doesn't work, and try to erase.  But it says error, cannot unmount disk.  I then try to reload Lion, but it says the disk is locked.  Okay, so do I need a new hard drive?  If so that's fine, I just cannot seem to erase this drive to reinstall lion.  Also, I don't have a disk to reinstall OSx, as Lion is done via internet. 

    Wow, thanks.  It did the trick.  So now I am confused, do you think I still need to take in my Mac to see if there are some problems with the hard drive, or do you think I'm in the clear.  I was going to get a new hard drive installed, because I thought that was the issue seeing as I couldn't access it during safe mode.

  • Can't see hard drive after reinstall of OS 10.1.3

    I wanted a clean reinstall of OS 10.1.3 so I slipped in the disk and initiated an install on my hard drive. Something went wrong in the process and now when I try to reinstall by booting from the CD drive with the install disk in, the hard drive does not show in the list of volumes to install to. I used my "hardware test" disk and all hardware tests fine.
    How do I fix this?

    The hard drive was probably being reformatted, when the process was interrupted. If the hard drive isn't Mac-formatted, it won't appear as an eligible destination volume on which to install OS X. When you boot from the OS X installer CD, go up to the "Installer" drop-down menu and select "Open Disk Utility." The hard drive should be listed in the column to the left, so you need to click on it to select it. Click on the "Erase" tab and choose "Volume format: Mac OS Extended," then click on the Erase button. After the drive has been reformatted, it will be a valid destination disk.

  • Unable To See Network Drive from outside Home Network..even when using DynDNS

    Hi
    I have just got a Freecom Media storage Network Center which I have attached to my WRT150N router.
    I am attemting to permit access to authorised users to files on the drive via the internet (presumably via ftp).
    Here is what I have done:
    Swiitched on DynDNS on the web admin page in the router (used DynDNS.com free service.
    Obtained a user addess which is middle-earth.dyndns-home.com from DynDNS, which is linked to my Virgin Media IP
    Switched on Port Range forwarding with
    Ports 20-21 as ftp
    Port 80 as http
    Port 57 as DNS
    Selected "both protocols"
    Set the IP address to route to 192.168.1.42 - (this is the IP address which the web based software for the Network Drive reports as.
    However the configuration of the TCP/IP protocol in PC attached by LAN cable to the router is "Obtain an IP address automatically" (i.e. dynamic?).  If I change these settings and specify static IP addresses   will I not muck up internet connection to Virgin Media.
    what I was hoping to acheive was typing     ftp:// middle-earth.dyndns-home.com
    in the address bar would let me see the network drive from anywhere!
    I have tried using DNS pinging on Ports 20, and 21 but that tells my ports are closed.  i have also tried switching off my software firewall (Kaspersky) and the router firewall, but this does nothing.
    What have I done wrong or no done!!
    Thanks                                                                                              

    I think the problem is solved.
    The Freecom device needs to use a different part of its interface to be assigned a static IP address, which I have now done.  At my last try it was visible from two independent views outside of my network.
    On another front, I am appalled at Linksys or Cisco, who are not prepared to advice on getting more from their produicts if they are 'out of warranty'.  The online chat tech said I could ring an 0871 premium line number in the UK.  When I rang that, I was told as tthat as my unit is not faulty and was out of warranty I would have to use their pay per incident  service.
    That is not a way to deal with customers.  When it comes to upgrading or replacing network equipment, I will look to a provider who is interested in their customers.

  • Unable to Load Mac OSX after update - Urgent! Please Help

    I just updated my Mac using System update, which required a start.
    I restarted the computer, but it's stuck in the gray apple screen with the circular running bars. It's been now 10 minutes, and it never took so much. I tried to turn it off, then on again, same problem. What should I do? Please, help!
    Thanks,
    richard

    Problem solved.
    First of all, thank you all for the advices and links, now I learned something. After panicking, I tried the PRAM reset restart and the "shift" restart and it didn't work. I didn't have the installation disk with me, so I went straight to Tekserve to hear them. They told me that my system got corrupted for some reason and I had two options with them:
    - a quick fix, for US$59, which would erase all my HD content and take 24 hours
    - a fix without erasing the HD, for US$195, which would take 4 business days!
    They said those were all the options. For me the money was not major problem. The big issue for me would be not having my computer for many days.
    Then I thought: what if I try to reinstall the system myself? And they said: well, you can try that.
    That's what I did as I got home. Install disk, restart holding down the "C" key.
    One hour later, everything was back to normal.
    Now the question: why at tekserve they didn't say anything to me about reinstalling the system myself?
    Anyway, this was the first major problem I bumped into since I have turned to apple 3 years ago.
    And again, thanks everybody for the help!

  • Unable to boot Mac OS after 10.6.5 update

    Just a question. Dont know whether its due to the 10.6.5 update. After reboot to windows. I can't log in To my Mac os anymore. It just get stuck at the grey apple logo and bar comes out and loads and it shuts down soon after. In windows when I log on it says that my Mac hdd is corrupted. Mount anyway or cancel.
    Anyway my question is can I reformat my Mac hdd and reinstall SL without interfering with my windows partition (boot camp)

    Use the Archive and Install, Mac OS X: About the Archive and Install feature, option to reinstall SL. This saves your Home folder. Also it saves your old Home/Library folder in a "Previous System" folder in case there are any preferences or support files of applications that require activation codes or S/Ns.
    Repair disk permissions after the reinstall. Then apply the latest SL updater and repair permissions again.
    After you're satisfied all is well you can delete that previous folder.

  • Windows not seeing Mac drive

    I did a straight Finder copy of my entire iTunes folder to a FAT drive.
    Then, I plugged in the FAT drive to XP. I went to the prefs and I told iTunes where to find the iTunes folder.
    So far, so good, except: the songs are not showing in iunes. In fact, it is still using the iTunes folder on the C drive.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey Chris,
    Thanks! I opened iTunes holding the shift key and received a special window asking me to choose existing library or create a library...I selected create a library because the existing lib was not available. I then selected create from a folder and then selected the correct folder in the E drive.
    So basically what happened is this: iTunes imported all of the music to a new itunes folder on E:; not really a problem since there is room, but still probably not right.
    Done! except now I cannot get the iPhone to see the music; can play it, can see the iPhone as normal. Arg.

  • Can't see external drive after Leopard installation

    Hi there, i hope i'm i the right place! I have just installed Leopard on my Intel iMac 1.83ghz, 2gb ram, 160gb HD and it no longer sees my external Maxtor One Tough 3 HD. Disk utility says it doesn't recognise it. I have checked the Seagate site for a Leopard update for Intel Macs but nothing yet.
    Any ideas anybody?
    Cheers

  • Unable to see ODBC driver for Oracle on ODBC Administrator

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle client 11g (64 bit) on window server 2008 (64 bit). I am trying to create 32 bit ODBC DSN for 32 bit application.
    So from syswow64 folder, i am running odbcad32.exe but i am not able to see Oracle for OracleClient in driver list.
    Can you please help me?

    You need to install 32 bit client software to get the 32 bit driver. Make sure to install it into a different home, and copy over your tnsnames.ora. Unlike multiple homes of the same bits, a single 32 bit home and a 64 bit home play fairly well together.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • HP Pavilion dv9925nr laptop unable to see DVD drive.

    A friend of mine has this laptop that is unable to recognize CD or DVD
    installed on this Laptop.  This device doesn't show up in device manager
    or BIOS setup at all. So how do I correct this problem?  The laptop is
    running Windows Vista home.
    Thanks in advance
    George H.

    Try this. From Vista, got to this website:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
    Go to the Resolution 2 and run the CD/DVD drive autofix tool. It will work online and try to correct some software issues that might be blocking the drive from working.
    If that does not work post back and we can walk you through some other possible repairs and ultimately it may just be a bad drive that needs to be replaced. We can help with that, too.
