    Thx mate. You are a life saver. This has been doing my head in for days! On my Mac I had to go to Finder - Settings - Sidebar to find the external disk check box. I'll make sure not to 'jiggle it off' my ext drive in the future. lol. All the best.,

    You're a couple of days late! 😫I just finished spending $150 on yet another EHD...and, yes, I backed up my computer with it yesterday...because my other hard driveS (yes, plural), don't appear. I am saving this video if and when I accidentally improperly disconnect my drive. Thanks for the tips!

  • @aprylhopkins

    None of these steps fixed mine. I can see the external drive, and clicked the mount option but nothing happened.

      @nathanielyao3525 4 дня назад

      I was facing the same issue. Try plugging it into a mobile device that uses a different OS (e.g., iPad), and see if you can access the files through there. Try to recover the data from there.

    I seem to remember a video that I think was one of yours where a Fuji SD card with no title or something would not show, was that ever fixed?

    If a driver or other connected device doesn't appear with a hub, but does appear when connected directly to the computer, then are there any suggestions to fixing this / what hubs will work? Any tips for figuring out if a hub will work well or not?
    I haven't yet any issues with external drives not appearing, but my X-H2s does not appear when connected to my USB Hub! However it does appear when connected directly to the Mac. And my X-T3 does appear when connected to the same hub. So I don't know what's wrong there -- camera? Hub? An Intel-Mac specific bit of weirdness?

    Do you have a work around for connecting a Theta Z1? It is a complete tough mudder obstacle course trying to get the Raw files off of the camera and on to the Mac pro 😄

    why do you do if the light doesn't turn on your SSD? the adaptor I have connects it to my PC and it turns on and everything just fine but when it comes tk my Mac there's just nothing.

    Hi, thanks for the video. I just want to add into the knowledge base on this topic. If you are unable to find a Direct Access Storage, you might want to try emptying the recycle bin.
    I have a 4 bay drive connected via USB and it will take almost 20 mins for the hdd to mount. This seems to be a bug in mac os.

      Yes, it is a bug that they haven't fixed yet
      it's so frustrating that the disk just doesn't show up and even the disk utility won't show anything

    • @fed02

      @kunalchaugule.5843 Месяц назад

      @fed02 no the recycle bid method woked for me
      Maybe try a hard format and also check the file system change it to APFS that might work

    I hope this get noticed, but I have a USB dock for my new Mac air m2, the dock lights up but I can't see it on any of the tips you gave here on this video, but a day before like the first time I used this dock, it was flawless, next thing I knew the next day i can't locate the dock in any external.
    PS: this is my first time using a MacBook.

    I have a Samsung T5 SSD connected to an older MacBook Pro which I only use occasionally. It tells me my SSD is not connected , even though I leave it connected 24/7. I unplug it ,put the password in again, all good. My newer MacBook Laptop (non pro) has a Samsung SSD T7 connected to the laptop. I had two Anker units that would not allow the connection. Returned both.
