My glyph harddrive dont show up on my mac why?

Perhaps the files are too small to make a difference. Perhaps you haven't emptied the waste bin.

Control Panel, Computer Management, Disk Management. Check that your Glyph is present. If it is present, does it have a drive letter assigned? If not Right Click and Assign Drive Letter.

If drive not present you should check power and data connections.

Take it back to where you bought it, and exercise the warranty, to get it replaced or repaired.

they have the icon for mac, that may help.

Did you format the Glyph tabletop harddrive? If you didn't format it, it won't work.

Your Operating System is not stated, so let me give you an example using Windows XP. (Home or Pro doesn't matter)

Power cord plugged into the Glyph harddrive, and plugged into a surge protector, 6-pin Firewire cable, or 9-pin Firewire cable from Glyph to computer plugged in, Glyph power turned on, computer on, Windows loaded,

1.Left-click on Start, then Right-click on My Computer. Left-click on Manage, in the small fly-out menu.

2.In the Computer Management window, under Storage, click on Disk Management. The Write Signature wizard will pop up.

3.Use the wizard to write a signature to the new drive. The drive must be named. Name it what you want. (Drive 2; My Drive; Storage 2: Your name;
whatever you wish)
This drive must be named, or Windows won't be able to find it.

4.Now I suggest just making one partition, and it will be the Primary partition. Do this by selecting the Maximum Size. (Partitioning: Think of your harddrive as a large room. A Partition is a wall, dividing the room into two rooms. This time you won't be dividing the room. You will use the whole room. 250 GigaBytes of it) Choose -> NTFS.
Follow the instructions, let it format the harddrive.

You should be good to go now.

I have added this link, to a PDF file download of the
-> Glyph GT 050Q Quick Guide <-

I had not created even a primary partition for my Glyph drive which I needed to do. So I created a new partition and seleected the maximum size for it which was all 500GB of the drive, since I dont want any real divisions of the drive; then I selected quick format. This is actually on the Glyphtech.com questions on how to format the drive, it will telll you about this step of creating a primary partition (or even more partitions if you want them).

you could try a program like disk warrior or disk rescue, or you could try giving Glyph a call, they have pretty good warranty coverage.

If the drive is connected via firewire, power the drive. If the drive powers and you can place your hand on it and feel it "spinning", and still it does not mount. Try a different FW cable. If still no mounting action, place your ear on the drive to hear any grinding or clicking. If the drive sounds to be operating normal, open disk utility.. Hard drive/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility The drive should appear in the left pane under your computers hard drive. You should see the button to MOUNT it on the top right. Hope this works
