[QUOTE="ekadesign, post: 1354606, member: 232980"] [b]intel iMac won't recognize Toshiba portable (v63700c)[/b] I got a 1TB Toshiba portable (v63700c) and it won't show up on my intel iMac (OS 10.6.8). It does, however, show up on my Power Mac G5 and I was able to reformat it with Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and save some files on it. After I did all that, I re-hooked it up to the iMac and it won't show up, nor does Disk Utility see it. I switched USB ports, too, and restarted then actually shut down several times. I miss the old Norton Utilities where you could search out and mount all disks. I know Disk Utility is supposed to do that, but there's no option to "Search" for all available disks. If it doesn't show up, that's it for you. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what else to do! [/QUOTE]
