  • Installation on disk external USB - "Closed circle" after the first restart of the installer

    I tried to install on my MacMini Sierra (end 2012, Mavericks) to an external Seagate USB 3.0 drive 3TO. The drive is freshly formatted with utility disk (, logged, etc. extended partition GUID) and retired in good health.

    Installation always fails on the first reboot. On the first reboot, the screen goes black, there is a white Apple and white progress bar that moves two or three times to the right and then clears the screen and dreaded him circle with a diagonal line appears. Force reboot simply repeats the process.

    So, I decided to try and install the Mavericks (the OS on the internal SSD flash of the Mac mini disc) of the partition of the USB 3.0 drive recovery external. This eventually ended up with a white screen, the dreaded circle of diagonal and a widget of rotation for several hours. Force restart it worked and a new Workgroup installation Mavericks was now hard disk external and implemented to date.

    Another attempt to install Sierra on the external hard drive, but this time the Mavericks running on the external hard drive is not in the same way with the dreaded circle and the diagonal line.

    Near ideas, I tried to install Sierra on an old Seagate 500 GB disk firewire external hard. Shock, horror... it worked without any problem.

    Sierra is simply not install on an external USB 3.0 :-(3 TB drive

    Someone has it successfully? Any ideas?

    The saga continues...

    I tried the USB of the FW - same problem Imaging reader drive.

    I tried to start the Sierra - same problem recovery partition USB drive.

    WORKAROUND SOLUTION:

    I plugged the USB3 drive on a cheap Chinese USB2 hub and... Sierra, booted from the USB3 drive! Obviously not ideal speed wise, but it'll do for now.

    Sierra really dislike my external Seagate Go Flex Desk media USB3 drive when it is plugged directly into a USB3 port on my Mac Mini end of 2012.

    [Keep in mind, the Mavericks had no problem installing and running on the drive USB3.]

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

  • Toshiba 320 GB external USB HDD has stopped working

    Hello

    Recently this evening my external hard drive has stopped working. I can start it and the blue light shows, but it seems that the arm of reading or the mechanical part is stuck or does not start. It has a very low and repetitive clicking noise.
    Before I used to get a strong enough * Click * when starting and now nothing. Nothing does load in windows either, and remains undetected.

    I thought that I could send to repair if it's arm which is broken or needs other than tighteneing as, it's a pretty desperate situation that recently, I cleaned my computer and used the external hard drive as back up, with all of my work for the last 8 years on this subject...

    And I can't afford a recovery of data of 300 books, either.

    null

    Possibly the HARD drive died completely. I mean it might be possible that a head crash could cause this problem.
    My HARD drive died in the past, it was a laptop internal, HDD, and before that the HARD drive is dead, I noticed a strange rattling noise.
    After a restart the laptop the drive HARD was not accessible
    Well, HARD disk crash is not an uncommon problem and it always happens
    So, in most cases, it s also should back up the data twice. That is to say: on DVD, CD, etc.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".

  • Win 7 64 does not see disks external usb 3.0 at startup

    I installed a new driver on the seagate site (all on the phone with technical support of seagate). This did not help. The man said he thought that the problem was probably in the settings of the bios of the computer.

    In Device Manager, I've uninstalled the USB mass storage device element which had a '! ' and then right click and choose scan for hardware changes. Scan the computer, and then try to install the drivers, then the error message that says that the driver installation failed, without explaining why.

    Help, please

    I thank each of you for your attempts to answer this question!
    YES, microsoft 'fixed' the problem that was part of the addition of service pack 1 for win 7.
    It seems that the transition "done something" to how usb 3.0 drivers worked. Or in my case, didn't work. After you apply the fix, everything seems TSE be as it should have in the first place.

  • Why all the mini-usb Chargers don't work with my pre! Grumble, boo-hiss...

    I forgot to take my charger with me for what was supposed to be a quick trip.  After many postponements, flights cancelled, calls for the family and a 'help' of the airline office... I noticed that my battery was low so I decided to buy a charger at the airport.

    Here comes my problem with my Pre and Palm...

    1st stop, I have overall love this phone and understand that a new version can not have all the features I want/need.

    What I don't understand, is why any mini-USB charger does not work!

    I visited a few shops and kiosks where NONE of the generic Chargers would work and they did not offer Palm products.

    I've certainly limited technical knowledge these things here, but can someone please explain to me why there are standards (USB, Mini-USB, etc.) but Palm makes their mini-usb special requirements or unique so only some products work?

    I have used several brands and everybody has worked so far for me. I have even a mini - mic adapter that adapts to any standard mini-usb and works fine.

    Just to clarify, you said you have mini-usb, the pre uses micro usb.

    Micro-usb is also going to be the standard.

  • External USB mouse does not work in the context of Satellite L

    Hello, my name is John Cooley, and I have a problem that your FAQ do not have a category.

    Because I've had this laptop as a gift in October 2011, I was using a mouse that was provided by the company, by that I was hired and in no time I had no problem with the mouse.
    I'm no longer with this company and have not been for the past ten weeks, but it's not my problem.

    My problem is that for some reason any after working properly for about two minutes, I get an error message indicating that the USB hubs on the right side of my laptop will not recognize the mouse which is very annoying, because I am also using a dongle for access to the internet using these same hubs (which by the way (, never having this problem) because it works in all USB hubs without problem, what I can do.

    My question is not why this is happening but what should I do so that I can use the mouse.

    Please don't suggest I have stop using the mouse and rely solely on the touchpad.
    Unfortunately for me I find using the key exercise lose more time because I don't have three hands and that's what you have to do everything done a mouse.

    With respect,

    John Cooley

    Hello John

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Before you begin to discuss your problem, please, let us know what model phone you have and what operating system is preinstalled.

    Have USB ports for laptop on the left side?
    Have you tested?

    I also want to know is: do you have this problem USB I have general or simply using this external mouse? I mean, have you tested with some USB memory stick or GSM connection by USB cable, not only the dongle to access internet?

  • Mounting external USB Hard Drive to work as. Storage of ISO

    Hi all

    I'm new to VMWare and my Unix skills are really rusty, but I hope someone can help me with the following:

    I'm under vSpehere ESXi 5.0 andI want to install several comments on this host operating systems.  I have all the OSes different comments on an external hard Drivwe that is formatted with NTFS.  I would like to mount my external hard drive on the VMWare host and then mount an individual. ISO for the installation of a new virtual machine.  Can anyone help?

    Thank you, Brad

    So that when you connect the USB to your computer when you run the Client vSphere you cannot navigate to the drive?

    When you create the yoo VM can have the virtual cd-rom on your local cd or search for an ISO image on the local machine you. See section 4 of the http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-virtual-machine-admin-guide.pdf especially starting on page 42

    One thing also emphasize is your ESXi host will not be able to read an NTFS volume.
