[QUOTE="RufusTF, post: 1084089, member: 56209"] Hi- In the spirit of full disclosure, I am merely a computer user, not a "computer guy". I have three external drives and my mac does not recognize them any more. Tried different cables & different drives and no icon appears, nor do I see it via the finder. I checked the port itself and it appears good, but it's hard to tell by looking. Can anyone recommend a good troubleshooting system for this? Is there a way to have the ports disabled that may have occurred accidentally? Any test I can conduct? Thanks in advance- J [/QUOTE]
