1. I have an Imac that I use for editing in final cut 7 but render and do all the work to my G Drive 2 Ter external hard drives.

2. Today out of nowhere my imac will not recognize any of my 4 hard drives I can plug and unplug and nothing happens..

3. I have not changed anything since yesterday when all was working well.

4. I have changed cables with new cables that I know work.

5. I plugged each hard drive in to my mac book pro and they pop right up no problem.

6. Finally, I have made sure everything is checked properly in finder/preferences, etc... as I said it was all working perfectly yesterday at time of close...

Now it's like my imac just doesn't read them... thank you in advance for your help.

Restart your computer, reset your PRAM. Try again.

Maybe the USB ports died?
