Re: Finding attachments.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Neil

Thank you for your reply, I had an e-mail from Ronnie hidden away in my Keepers 
file, found the original e-mail, and followed Ronnie’ advice, now back on 
track, thank you I’ll also save your reply and your other tips as they may just 
come in handy sometime.

Thank you Neil

Kind Regards

Tony

Hi Stephen

Have rechecked everything and the advice from Ronnie was correct, I found the 
Hard Drives showing in Disk Utility, so have them now showing on my desk top.

Thanks Stephen

Hi Steven

Sorry, I have two External Hard Drives that I have at different times  
connected to my Computer, both turned  “On” but don’t show up on the Desktop, I 
have a third that as soon as it is connected into the Computer it is recognised 
almost immediately.

I had this problem once before and Ronnie gave me instructions on how to check 
what is actually connected to the computer but not actually showing on the Desk 
Top, I have forgotten how to do this. I thought it was in Utilities, but no 
luck.

Thanks Steven

Re: SSD external harddrives

[Adam Lippiatt]

I would be interested too. 

I use HDD for backup purposes ($ spent on reliability not speed) but was 
considering for a while some of these new SSDs to put my primary data on 
instead of relying on the spinning drive portion of the fusion drive in my late 
2013 iMac, but judged it not worth it as it only has thunderbolt 1 ports which 
don’t give you access to the little non powered thunderbolt 3 cases that are 
quite popular and speedy now. 

I hear that quality SSDs last long enough these days not to matter.  (SSDs do 
lose storage capacity over time while spinning drives do not. However the 
degradation is slow and doesn’t seem to matter for general use so far as I 
know.)

As you have everything backed up, a failed SSD shouldn’t be much of a bother.

Re: Finding attachments.

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Tony,

 

Couple of things to try:
If disk is recognised but not “mounted” it will show up in disk utility – fire 
up disk utility, look for the disk, if it is showing but “greyed out” select it 
and hit the “mount” button.
If the drive is not even showing, I would always first try just unplugging and 
re-plugging the lead (FW or USB)
 

I nearly always find this sorts things out.

 

 

 

If not, I believe there are some tried methods involving unplugging both the 
leads and the drives and then using a particular order for re-connecting – I 
can’t say that I’ve ever had the situation where this is required but I believe 
it helps in some situations (google it).

 

Still no luck? – try running “system report” – on my El Capitan, I go to “about 
this mac” (top of the apple menu) and then click the “System Report” button 
then look under “hardware” in the sidebar and select the appropriate item 
(firewire or USB) - then you should be able to see what is connected. On later 
OSX versions the method for running a “System Report” may have changed – but 
that should be easy to check.

 

If you still cannot see it you may have a hardware problem – you can generally 
narrow this down, through a process of elimination, to the actual external 
drive, or the connecting cable, or possibly the port on the mac.

 

That should give you plenty to work through!

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Neil

Hi Steven

 

Sorry, I have two External Hard Drives that I have at different times  
connected to my Computer, both turned  “On” but don’t show up on the Desktop, I 
have a third that as soon as it is connected into the Computer it is recognised 
almost immediately.

 

I had this problem once before and Ronnie gave me instructions on how to check 
what is actually connected to the computer but not actually showing on the Desk 
Top, I have forgotten how to do this. I thought it was in Utilities, but no 
luck.

 

Thanks Steven

Re: SSD external harddrives

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Peter.
I bought a Samsung SSD from Officeworks for quite a reasonable price about 6 
months ago.
I use it for my monthly “safe” backup.
What used to take a long time with a Hard Drive (I use Superduper), now takes 7 
minutes and then back in my safe.
Might be worth checking Officworks website.

I think I paid $134.00 for a 500GB.

Hi Tony.
I am not sure what you mean.
