USB drive no longer recognized in macbook pro but recognized by other macbook pro

USB drive previously recognized, removed without correctly ejecting, now not recognized at all.  Tried it in other macbook pro and it popped up just find.  I can see it in Utilities/Disk Utility area and tried to repair but still not showing up in Finder.

  • Usb lacie key drive no longer recognized

    Hi. I'm on a 17" MacBook Pro (from summer 2008), and all of a sudden it's unable to mount my USB thumb drive (LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive). The drive doesn't show up on my desktop or in the System Profiler. It shows up on some other laptops (but not others) and on the one tower in my studio. Other USB drives do work on my machine, so I'm kind of at a loss.
    I've repartitioned and erased the drive, but still no luck.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    ben

    No, there is no way to increase the power provided by your USB ports, and no setting that would affect that. Get a different flash drive. There's no excuse for a flash drive drawing too much bus power — in fact I've never heard of that happening before. Every PB G4 model had trouble supplying enough power to bus-powered USB devices, but in five years of daily reading and posting in the PB G4 forums, I never heard of a flash drive that couldn't get adequate power even from a Powerbook.

  • USB Hard Drive no longer recognized after SW Update

    I just updated Cisco software and my external hard drive is no longer recognized by Cisco.  It is a Seagate drive that is listed on the Cisco tested - passed - approved list.  It worked prior to this update.  I have disconnected the drive.  Reconnected it.  Rebooted.  Turned machine and router on and off and its still not recognized.  Any ideas?  Thank you, Jim S.

  • Expansion base USB ports & hard drive no longer recognized

    I have an HP dv5000 laptop and the xb2000 expansion base with a built-in hard drive in the base.  I routinely undock the laptop while it's running and plug it back in again and have no problems.  Yesterday, I undocked as usual, but then shut the laptop down while it was undocked.  Then I put it back in the expansion base and booted up again.  The problem is that now I can no longer see the hard drive in the expansion base and the USB ports for the expansion base will also not work. 
    The really sad part is that this is a new expansion base because the same thing happend about a month ago, but I thought it was a hardware problem and just bought a new base.
    Can anyone please help me get my laptop to see the hard drive in the base and also get the USB ports working again as well?
    Thanks,

    I tried to post a reply on a computer with Internet Explorer 8 RC1.  My CPU would always be 100% busy as soon as I hit the Reply button.
    I complained to HP Support and was told that this forum is not compatible with IE 8.  So, I am now on a computer with IE 7.  UPDATE:  I just executed C:\WINDOWS\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe and my HP Notebook reverted  back to IE 7 without any problems so far.  I am now able to edit this reply (without my CPU being 100% busy)!
    I had exactly the same problem with all USB Ports and the optional 160GB USB Hard Drive being nonfunctional, immediately after Microsoft
    Update (Custom) finished installing recommended driver "Cypress - Other hardware - HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2).
    The device appeared in Device Manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, as "HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2)".  I uninstalled the device but
    after a restart it was there again. 
    I executed System Restore to a date before the Cypress drivers were downloaded and installed.
    All xb2000 USB Ports, the USB Hard Drive and Sound now work as before.  I have been using a mouse and printer plugged into the xb2000 today.  Also,
    I completed a Windows Live OneCare, complete backup, to the Hard Drive in the xb2000 base, today.
    The one thing that I hate about my xb2000 is that the Hard Drive keeps spinning as long as the Hard Drive Power Adaptor is connected to
    the base.  I use "Safely Remove Hardware" on the task bar to safely remove the USB drive and then disconnect the Power Adaptor from the base.  If I leave the disk spinning, after a few minutes I get a very loud clicking sound which sounds like something inside the drive is beating on the hard drive chassis.  Maybe it is the arm which holds the heads.  Complaints to HP have not resulted in a solution to these aggravations.

  • Flash drive no longer works with MacBook Pro. Now says it is unformatted, but no info what to do and not lose my data. Does not show up despite multiple prior uses on the same computer.

    Upgraded to OS Mavericks in November. Flash drive that worked fine previously with Lion and worked several times with Mavericks. Now says the 8GB jump drive (Lexar) is unformatted. Disk Utility First Aid seem unavailable. It sees the drive, but on the far left left, and when highlighted, nothing can be done with it.
    How do I recover my information or reformat it without losing my data?

    I am MikeMacBP2013. Cannot figure how to reply to Kappy's comment. Kappy, your comment did not really help me. My concern is how to save my data, not wipe and use a $10 USB drive.
    In the past two hours, I wasted most of it trying to use a software program, Disk Drill by Cleverfiles, that offers a "free" version. The free version does not recover your data for you. It is not a free 30 day trial. It is deceptively advetised - it will recover data but you will not see your data untless you pay them almost $100.
    Instead of trying to recover the data on the USB drive, this program ran a recovery on my computer hard drive and any disk image it could find on my computer until I stopped and deleted it. Apparently, it collects and keeps data recovered locked unless you pay for a key to download your data. This is not clearly presented up front. Had I known, I would never have put their software on my computer.
    I need direction to a reliable recovery program that is not this sneaky and deceptive. I stopped it when I discovered it was not doing what I had clicked for it to do, and removed the software.
    I am looking for a recommendation for a program that will do what Apple Disk Utility does not do - restore the formatting that may have been corrupted, or at least recover my data files so I can put them on other portable media.
    I recently installed a CalDigit Thunderbolt Dock to get USB 3.0 on my early 2011 Mac. I suspect this may have contributed to this disk failure but will have to contact their tech support tomorrow.
    Thanks for any suggestions for a reliable free or reasonably priced recovery software that someone can attest from using really works.

  • Flash Drive No Longer Recognized

    I purchased a new PNY Turbo 3.0 128 GB Flash Drive, formatted it as Mac OSX Journaled, transferred files to it, encrypted it, used it for about 30 minutes on my iMac, then it disappeared while navigating in Finder.
    The flash drive does not show in Finder, Disk Utilities, or System Information.  Yes, show external drives is checked in Finder Preferences.
    The USB is recognized in an older Macbook using a much older OS, although I can't view the contents and a message on the Macbook says that I need to put the drive into a device with an updated Mac OS.
    No other user accounts on my iMac can view the flash drive.
    So far I have done numerous restarts, shutdowns, and remounts, reinstalled Mavericks (again), repaired disk permissions, etc. 
    This is the second issue I've had with an Apple formatted and encryped flash drive disappearing.  I've put an entire Sunday afternoon reading through threads and troublshooting this, and looks like some people just accept it as another thing that doesn't work on their Mac or go try different brands of flash drives until one works.
    Suggestions or recommendations anyone?  I would like to keep this flash drive (it does have the Mac symbol on the packaging) if possible.

    Did you ever get a satisfactory response to this?
    I too have just encountered this issue.  I have a PNY USB 3.0 128MB flash drive.  I used it successfully for several months.
    Today, connecting it to a brand new Mac Mini, 10.10, it is not recognized.  It's not just that it isn't recognized... It's not even showing up in Disk Utility.  The only indication I have that the system has detected it is this log message:
    2014-10-26 12:20:55.000 PM kernel[0]: USBMSC Identifier (non-unique): 09031000003796153712 0x154b 0xfa05 0x1075, 2
    Also, it shows up in System Information, in the USB Device Tree, but nowhere else.
    I then tried it in my Retina MB Pro (2.3GHz i7) running 10.9.5, where I had always successfully used it, with the exact same results.
    It appears that the OS is failing to load the driver, or perhaps something in the USB negotiation is failing.
    I tried it on a couple of Macs, running 10.9.5, both USB2.0 and USB3.0, with no luck.  My old Snow Leopard 2005 iMac recognized it, but the filesystem was too new for it to read it. (It is an encrypted USB volume).  I was, however, able to copy the raw disk image, even though that mac couldn't read it.  I am hoping to access the files that way.
    Now... I just put the USB Key into another of my Macbook Pros, an old 2.33GHz Core2Duo running 10.7.5, and this machine was able to access the encrypted partition with no problems at all.
    So, I conclude that this is some problem related to 10.9.x, since both USB2.0 and USB3.0 Mac's running 10.9 were unable to recognize the disk, yet a 10.7.5 machine with USB2.0 reads this disk fine.
    I'm hoping to get a suggestion from someone on how to best go about finding the root cause of this issue...
    Thanks,
    Pat

  • After security patch 03/04/2014 OSX 10.7.5, first one, then a second, external backup drive no longer recognized.  Diagnostics for the FireWire one displays brand name of unit, but Time Machine and its own app don't see it.  Where do I start?

    Yesterday I installed the security patch, OSX 10.7.5 to my IMac that is about 2 years old.
    Today my Seagate BackupPlus for Mac will power on but is not recognized.  It does not show up as a device, Time Machine says the latest backup was DELAYED, last successful at 03/04/2014 9:35 PM (yesterday) and next backup would begin when the disk was connected.  An error message I did not save said basically the drive was not recognized.   I did all drive's  troubleshooting steps, including installing a newer version of their app.  I tried swapping USB for FireWire, changing electrical outlets, etc.  
    It seems a bit coincidental to have 2 drives "fail" simultaneously.  Is anyone else having this issue after this security patch?  What would be the approach from the Mac side?  TIA for any assistance.
    Please see below regarding the second drive.  Is this a red herring, or does it help pinpoint where the failure might lie?
    I also have a Seagate GoFlex that WAS recognized until I did the troubleshooting on the other drive.  When I put it back on after testing the other drive with FireWire, it now is no longer recognized. 
    Diagnostics says this about that:
    FireWire Bus:
      Maximum Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
    GoFlex Mac:
      Manufacturer:          Seagate
      Model:          0x6090
      GUID:          0x2037600121908F
      Maximum Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
      Connection Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
      Sub-units:
    GoFlex Mac Unit:
      Unit Software Version:          0x10483
      Unit Spec ID:          0x609E
      Firmware Revision:          0x111
      Sub-units:
    GoFlex Mac SBP-LUN:
    Thirdly, in after one of the testing/reboot loops, the HP WiFi printer was no longer recognized, but after a few more it came back.  

    I have a similar problem.
    Moreover, as my external drive is split in 2 for (a) regular storage // (b) time machine usage, I can see in the Finder that I can connect to the (a) regular storage part and use it normally (image 1).
    And I cannot connect to the backup part in Finder , nor see it in Disk Utility, nor use it in Time Machine (although it's listed in the Time Machine preferences, image 2), as it does not connect (image 3).
    Can somebody help?

  • 2 TB External Drive no Longer Recognized by iMac 27"

    I have a 2 TB external HD (actually two 1 TB drives housed together in a OQC Mercury Elite Case) that has been working flawlessly for about 10 months as my Time Machine backup to the iMac 27". I have it hooked via FW800.
    Yesterday I noticed that TM backup failed and when playing around, I also noticed that the drive was no longer recognized. I check System Profiler and the drive was not seen. I did a PRAM reset (as this usually fixed the FW800 issues), but still no drive.
    Thinking I had a faulty FW800 port on the iMac, I switched the connection to USB 2. I see the Drive listed in the USB Device Tree in System Profiler, but still nothing on Finder.
    I opened Disk Utliltiy and I see a listing for a "2 TB External Raid Media" and then as a indent is says "Disk 3s3", but this is grayed out and you can not click on it to, say, repair permissions.
    I installed an update late Friday night and I have no idea if this is the reason, but I am curious what the next step might be. I am using 10.6.4.

    James,
    There are some basics you can do to do trouble shoot the FW800 problem. First is doing a SMC reset, follow the instructions for Intel based iMacs. This letter covers multiple models of Macs and you need to follow the correct procedure.
    The next item to try would be resetting the PRAM.
    Finally The X Lab has written a good article on troubleshooting Firewire devices. You can locate that article here.
    Hope this helps out some.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • Firewire drive no longer recognized after upgrade?

    having an onset of problems the last 2 weeks.
    first upgraded to 10.4.6 on mac mini 1.42 non-duo, worked a few days than acted weird with apps crashing. had to reinstall from 10.4 disk. seemed ok. repaired permissions, ect. after reinstall (and a subsequent power outage) a firewire drive attached at time was no longer recognized by mac mini or connected imacG3. reinstalled 10.4.2 on mac mini. installer unable to reinstall 10.4.6., I would like to have firewire drive recognized again. when attached to other firewire drive in daisy chain, says device unrecognized, other wise unable to get any info on drive. what to do?

    I am having nearly the exact same issue as you are experiencing. My Western Digital Dual-Option Media Center 160 GB FW HD is going in and out big time. It seems to be there for a time but then conks out. I have to disconnect the power and now the drive seems to be malfunctioning.
    Same story with my LaCie 52x CD Burner. I placed the Disk Warrior CD in there and the computer recognized the disc at first but then spinning beach balls galore!
    This has to be one of the worst updates to an OS X system I can remember. I can only think PowerPC QA testing has gone through the toilet since the Intel move was completed.

  • Won't eject disc- drive no longer recognized by system- 1-week old iMac!

    Tried to burn something in Toast- I put in a blank DVD, and all **** breaks loose...
    As long as the machine is powered up, I hear this slow "chugging" of the Superdrive, about a 4-second cycle, and in System Profiler, this is what I see:
    "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
    Tried to eject the disk by holding down the mouse at startup- no dice. OK, how do I eject a disc when the drive "doesn't exist", according to the system?
    I don't want to reboot more than needed because I'm getting white screens and other joys when I try to do that...
    Please help! It's a long drive to the nearest Apple Store...

    Well, a call to Apple seems to have fixed the problem;this was the sequence:
    1) shut down
    2) unplug everything but keyboard and mouse (I only had a wireless keyboard handy)
    3) restart, holding down P-R-Option- Cmd (Apple key)- AKA zapping or resetting the PRAM
    4) keep holding down the keys, wait for 4 startup "chimes"- I only got 2 before it completed booting despite my holding down the keys
    5) all seemed OK at this point; the drive would inject/read/eject a commercially made disc, as well as a blank disc
    6) shut down the machine again, unplugged the mouse and the power cable (had I used a wired keyboard, this too), and waited what seemed to be about 3 minutes; this was resetting the System Management Controller
    7) plug the power cable an mouse back in, restart normally
    Now I have to see just what device(s) might have contributed to the problem... I had a USB drive, a Firewire drive, and an older powered hub with which I attach my printer, EyeTV 250, a mouse, and occasionally, my iPods (shuffle & video) or thumb drives.

  • My external USB drive is not recognized by Win XP

    Hi!
    I have an external USB drive that is HTF+ formatted. It is not recognized by Windows XP. If I start the windows disk manager it gives me the option to initialize the drive. Do I dare to do this? Will it not erase the information on the drive?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Anders and welcome to Discussions,
    I have an external USB drive that is HTF+ formatted. It is not recognized by Windows XP. If I start the windows disk manager it gives me the option to initialize the drive. Do I dare to do this? Will it not erase the information on the drive?
    Yes it will !!
    Although with the BootCamp 3.0 Drivers (from the OSX Snow Leopard DVD) and the 3.1 Driver update (downloadable) Apple has introduced read-access to HFS+ partitions from Windows this feature seems to have some serious problems for some people.
    Personally I see this feature as "experimental" at the moment.
    XP itself knows nothing and therefor can not use/see HFS+ partitions and GPT (GUID partition table) harddisks.
    You might wanna have a look (or buy) at MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ which right now is the better solution.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Portable drive no longer recognized

    Hello.
    I have an HP PD1000a drive that is no longer recognized by my HP 9040n (Windows 7 Ultimate) computer.  This happened overnight.  The drive can be recognized and the driver installed by another computer (HP laptop running W7 Ultimate).
    When I plug the drive into the 9040, it is seen in the device panel but is disabled.  When I try to enable the drive, Windows 7 is unable to do so.
    Can you offer any assistance?
    Lt. Touchdown

    I have a similar problem. Apparently (for no understandable reason), it no longer works via a USB2.0 port, however if you have a USB3.0 port it will work via that. All attempts to contact HP to see if there is a fix have failed. They must be about the most disorganised, uncaring business in the world!

  • Optical Drive No Longer Recognized-- Yosemite, Mac

    Like a fool, I updated to Yosemite. Now my external optical drive is no longer recognized and I can't burn a CD in iTunes. Please help! How can I get my computer to recognize my optical drive and burn a disc? I have a Mac Air.

    Hi,
    How is your optical drive connected? It may be a connection problem.
    When you go to About this Mac, Overview, System Report, Disc Burning, what does it show?
    Does the device show in the Finder window sidebar or in Disk Utility?

  • External USB harddrive no longer recognized/accepted

    Hi,
    Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5.9 my Mac doesn't recognize/accept one of my external USB harddrives--both are Western Digital ones, which I'm using successfully for more than one year now--, and upgrading to Snow Leopard didn't resolve this issue (see console output at the end).
    Changing USB ports--hub, directly on my Mac--is to no avail either.

    Well, at least momentarily this issue seems to be resolved, although I quite can't grasp all of it.
    I've unplugged the external drive in question, both from the USB hub, as well as from the power jack, waited now for two days, until just a couple of minutes reconnecting everything again, starting with the power supply, and after some seconds the USB followed.
    Et voilá the drive is being recognized and mounted again.
    Weird, really weird, as I haven't got the slightes clue whatever, when this will arise the next time!
