Hi, all.
I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro that seems to be having trouble seeing external
drives. When I plug a drive into either of the USB ports, it tells me the
desktop which is where drives usually appear is empty. This doesn’t happen all
the time, but it does seem to be happening more often
f it saves you money here in NZ
Hope that helps.

Hello,
Most consumer hard disk drives are just not meant for long term reliable use

spend a little more I think the reliability of even Seagate and WD drives

Hi,
The easiest method is to press cmd-1 for Icon view, cmd-2 for List view, cmd-3
for Column view and cmd-4 for Cover Flow view. Note that you must be in the

Also, if you open a window, press cmd-2 to put it into

I don't use quicknav, and find it confusing as ever, and always use listview

Hi,
Works fine for me. I tried it in Icon view and List view with cmd-o and it
opened normally. Column few wouldn't open with cmd-o, but that's normal I
believe. In Finder Prefs, I checked and unchecked the box for opening Finder
windows in Tabs with no difference. Do you have QuickNav on?
I made a mistake when posting the command for opening folders. It's
option-down-arrow and option-up-arrow. To open a single file, it's
command-down-arrow.
