Could any one help me please.Please do not post more than about 50 lines of console logs or output from an Application crash at a time. No one can make it through those.

I have an hp dvd ram gh60L DVD Drive. It shows up in Windows Explorer (Windows 7), but doesn't show up in itunes. Can someone suggest a fix, please?
Hello b0nvivant,
Thank you for providing so much information about the iPod issue you are experiencing. I found an article with steps to take when your iPod is recognized in Windows Explorer but not in iTunes:

My new Windows 8 PC doesn't show my old Itunes library. How can I transfer my songs from IPod 2nd Gen to new PC?
Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

the internal optical drive on my early 2006 20"imac has mechanical problems ejecting discs. i've gone thru all the recommended steps to eject discs, and have luckily been able to eject the last 3 discs but only after spending 30-60 minutes going thru all of the steps over and over, and today just trying "eject disc" in itunes since i had itunes open. i don't want to put another disc in - the drive clearly has problems with the mechanical eject mechanism, and from what i've read that's not unique to my computer.
i bought an external optical drive: lite on, clamshell design to avoid problems with the eject mechanism; i contacted the mfr who said it's mac compatible.
the drive plays dvds, which is all i've tried so far, but doesn't show up in finder. so i don't know how to use it to load software, or music, or anything besides watch dvds.
is there something i can do to get the drive recognized/mounted/whatever? i would prefer to not spend the $220 which was quoted to me by an authorized mac repair company, even tho i think that's probably a reasonable cost given the delicacy of the operation as shown on ifixit.com.
thanks!I have an external LaCie burner and it will not show up on my Mac unless I insert a CD or DVD - in that case, the media will show up (I have these settings in the Pref Pane):
If you want to burn files or music to blank media, you can use Finder or Disk Utility for files, but should use an iTunes playlist/iTunes for music and a movie burn app for videos/movies (such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, etc).
If you simply want to drag files over as a backup, an external hard drive is a much better solution than a burner. -
My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder
My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to. -
MacMini doesn't show up in Finder.app on MacBook Pro
Hi,
I'm using a MacMini (2012) as a headless Server.
After upgrading the MacMini to Yosemite (10.10.2), the MacMini doesn't show up in Finder on my Macbook Pro. I'm using this for Screensharing.
Its very strange, because if the Mini sleeps, it shows up in Finder. Then I click the icon, the Mini wakes up. But then the MacMini Icon disappears. :-(
After reboot the Mini it works as expected until the Mini goes to sleep.
I think its a general problem, because all Bonjour using services (like iStat Server) doesn't work properly. All services doesn't show up automatically.
Direct connect via manual tipping in the IP in the Screensharing.app works without problems.
What I've done:
- Resetting all Network settings, by deleting the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder.
- The discoveryd service is NOT blocked in the Firewall settings.
- restarting all Router and the Airport Express
I hope u can help me.
Greeting SimonHi,
a dongle is already pluged in.
Its not a general problem with the Screensharing tool. Screensharing is working with dirket IP.
The problem is more the Bonjour discovery to other devices. -
When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.
Hi bricknut dab,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port? If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful. Did you try more than one SD card? You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
About the SD and SDXC card slot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount. What should I do?
Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
Cheers,
- Judy -

My
Toshiba 1TB 2.5 inch External StorE Art HDD doesn't show up in Finder.
The light is on and it hums. Has always worked perfectly and now this. Using it on a 2010 Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8tried another cable (from a camera) with no joy. However after turning off TM and searching for the EHD and not finding it, I revisited Disk Utility and can 'see' it there. The bad news is that it says,

The volume could not be verified completely.

Bizarre HD Puzzler:Primary HD doesn't show up in Finder
Haven't come across this before...
My primary HD (Macintosh HD), which has all of my System, Application, Library, etc files on it...doesn't show up in Finder any more, or...I should say...as of tonight. It's there when I do a search. I can open it and all the files appear to be intact. All of my applications seem to running normally (except for Lightwave 3D, which can't find the softward key that's stored in the library file). I can install software to the Macintosh HD as well.
It's just now showing up in the finder.
I'm running a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5/OS 10.4.10/6.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Task manager on windows server 2008 doesn't show the memory from newly installed 2nd CPU
Hi,
We have a dual processor dell power edge t410 running windows server 2008 (64-bit), standard edition. I have recently added a 2nd xeon x5560 quad-core processor (first one is also x5560 with 32GB (4x8) memory) and 16GB ram (4x4). Seems like the new CPU is
recognized in BIOS, Dell's server admin app and task manager shows 16 vertical boxes (hyper threading is on both cpus) under Performance->CPU Usage History and these boxes show processor load spread relatively evenly across all threads. On the other hand
the additional memory for this CPU is visible in the BIOS, Dell server admin but not in the task manager, which still shows the 32gb under performance->physical memory. Rammap also shows only 32GB.. Currently running proprietary processes that along with
the metafile and windows own ring up nearly 30GB, which in turn causes system latency for GUI and apps, as if the additional 16GB are not there...
So the questions are these:
1) does anybody know why the added memory doesn't show up in the task manager / rammap?
2) if the new memory doesn't show up, does this mean that Windows does not use it (which should be impossible if the CPU is utilized, unless I am wrong about windows using the cpu..)?
Thank you,
- KirilThanks for the reply Ravikumar,
Unfortunately this solution is inapplicable to my version of the OS as it is 64-bit and not 32-bit. Do you have any other ideas?
Best,
- Kiril
Yes, PAE((Physical Address Extension) is supported only on 32-bit versions of the
Windows, operating system 64-bit versions of Windows do not support PAE. For information about device driver and system requirements for 64-bit versions of Windows, see
64-bit System Design. The Address Windowing Extension (AWE) API is supported on 32-bit systems. It is also supported on x64 systems for both native and Wow64 applications.
Useful link for Address Windowing Extensions is:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366527(v=vs.85).aspx

Windows insallation programm doesn't show my Partition
Hey everyone,
i want to install windows xp professional (version 2002) on my MacBook pro 13". I made a partition with 44 gb with bootcamp and clicked on "start installation". After the restart, the windows installation programm starts. I follow the instructions until the question "on which partition should windows be installed?" So here is the problem: there is only one partition with 131gb (my MB got 250gb). it doesn't show the partition i created with bootcamp. The finder on OS X shows my macintosh HD and the Bootcamt partition.
I hope someone can tell me, what i'm doing wrong.Hi,
such behavior usually indicates that your XP is not at SP2 (Service Pack 2) level but an older one.
Look for a file in the root directory of the CD named "winip51.sp2"
If not there then it's not SP2 level.
You can make yourself a SP2 or even Sp3 level XP disc by following these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/article/product-review/slipstreaming-windows-xp-with -service-pack-3-sp3
But you have to do it on a Windows PC.
