external hard drive I have a LaCie portable hard drive - unused. When I connect it to either my Macbook or iMac it does not show in finder sidebar although I can see it when I look at disk utility . Have tried going to Finder preferences but toggling on/off for external hard drive makes no difference

Search not working with external SSD drives Can not search contents on connected external SSD drives (APFS formatted) on an Apple iMac with Monterey OS 12.6. Have copied a file name on the drive and pasted the name in search with no results. Is there a way to set up search for these external drives? Thanks, in advance, Charlie

Not all external drive partitions showing on desktop in Ventura All partitions of two external drives show up in Disk Utility (two partitions each; 4 partitions total). "External disks" are set to show in Finder Settings. But only two partitions (only one from each external drive) appear on the desktop. Cannot find any Settings nor Preferences which would cause this. iMac, Retina 4k, 21.5-inch, 2017 running Ventura 13.0.1
