If you still don’t show contents, and it does show in disk utils. Go in the 
toolbar and try to unmount the flash drive.
Then remove it, reboot and then see if it shows contents.

Re: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[dan d.]

If it is an external drive you can see if it is attached in terminal.

When in terminal do this command:

cd /volumes

Then do:

ls

That will produce a list of all attached and internal drives,ex. your internal 
hard drive by their name.

Often an external usb drive will have the name of the manufacture or a drive 
series it produces..

If it appears in the list one can send files to it in terminal.

RE: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[Simon Fogarty]

Kristine,

What is the name or label on the USB flash drive you are using?

When your in computer that's the command shift c that alex mentioned,
 Are you able to tab through the different devices 
Also listen for any lists or tables that might require expansion!

But if you've not yet tried have a look at things with disk utility and see 
what external devices are connected.

Re: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

Hi,

Sorry, I assumed it was a storage device that wasn't being visible.  My 
mistake, so, my suggestion that sent you to Disk Utility can be ignored.  No 
worries, I'm used to being ignored :).

   If that worked then your braille display is suspect. Either a

Re: Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Just to confirm that the device is actually functioning, go to your Desktop, 
then VO-m to access the menubar, right to the Go menu, down to Utilities.  In 
the Utilities folder, locate Disk Utility and open it.  After it's open, locate 
the table and interact with it.  Does it show the USB connected device or 
devices here?  If it does, then we know that the device is being read by the 
Mac, and we can go from here to determine a few other things.

   Take a look at your Finder preferences and see if anything was 
changed there.

Going Insane Looking for USB Devices on My MacBook Air

[Christine Grassman]

I don’t know what is going on, all, but some time in the past couple of months 
since I last used a USB device, something has conspired to make me completely 
unable to locate them in order to transfer anything. I have looked everywhere: 
in USB in System Monitor, in Computer, I sought the Devices sidebar, (which, 
too, seems to have disappeared, along with All My Files). Everything else seems 
in order: Documents, Downloads, Library, etc., but nothing I do is locating any 
connections or devices. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Did something 
happen in a recent update and I am merely woefully uninformed as to whatever 
changes were made that require me to conduct my actions differently in order to 
do a simple transfer or saving of files? TIA.
