[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1460149, member: 59143"] It would appear that the drama isn't over just yet. Really weird stuff going on for sure, and I still think it is tied to an OS update. I've been testing three external drives, and two of them truly work. The working drive is a new iOmega 1TB eGo desktop drive. Under normal circumstances, it is hooked up to my 7 port USB hub, directly hooked up to the 2008 MacBook Pro. Works a charm. It also works via the Airport Extreme, as it shows up in Finder under "shared" right away. I also just tested an older 500 gig iOmega portable HD via micro USB and that also shows up right away. And the external that no longer shows up, used to work just fine, so I'm not sure of what is happening. I'm messing with sharing permissions right now, amongst other things including trying various other USB cables and even the power source, even though the three I have work with it just fine under normal circumstances.
