  • iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "iPhone 6 more»

    Please help because I can not backup my iPhone 6 Plus for my iMac and iTunes asks me to wipe it.

    When I connect the iPhone 6 Plus for the cable of the lightning, he says this: -.

    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone" IPhone Steve 6 + ".." Select the summary in the iPhone preferences tab and click on restore to restore the iPhone to factory settings. »

    The last back up, I've done was there a little more than 12 months and is an older version of iOS also so if I do a restore of the backup, it will be bad and lacks important information.

  • MacBook 2016 cannot read an My Passport Slim external

    Hello everyone

    My new 2016 MacBook has only a single USB - C port that connects to Western Digital My Passport Slim disk external DRIVE via a USB HooToo multiport adapter.

    OS X in it just cannot read HARD drive even through it will make a sound when connected via the hub.

    I first thought the HARD drive has a problem, but then when I run EaseUs Partition Recovery Disk, it does not read the partition of the HARD drive either.

    The HARD drive makes too much noise.

    I find having just a USB - C which acts as a power port and can be multiplied by an incredibly awkward adapter.

    But first and foremost, I have to get the HARD drive to show up in OS X.

    What are the best ways to make it happen?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks as always

    Here is a link to another discussion indicating that others have similar problems. Two posters seem to have solved the problem by upgrading to the latest version, 10.11.5

    Apple also noted that some external hard drives G Drive do not work with the adapter. Since Apple may not have tested each other drive that I wonder if there are other materials with the same problem. It seems that the issue has been the port USB - C does not provide enough power to run the command. Is the HooToo adapter connected to a power outlet? Is anything else connected to the card "multi-port".

  • How to get around a fake "cannot read itunes library.itl?

    I have a Windows 7 laptop I want to back up the same on a Windows laptop 8.  Should I bring all the files on the Windows 7 laptop to Windows 8 laptop computer including my music/itunes and program/itunes files.  It has worked for years.  All of a sudden I get a message when you go to itunes on the laptop computer of Windows 8 that say 'cannot read itunes library.itl because it was created by a different version.'  This is different from the case referred to the support forum where people want to deliberately use an earlier version of itunes.  I want to use on the laptop Windows 7 and Windows 8 for the latest version of itune laptop.  To make sure that I have request for updates on two laptops from itunes and received responses that I already have the latest version installed on two laptops.  I can access itunes on the Windows 7 laptop, but not Windows Mobile, 8.  How to get around this indication false error on my laptop Windows 8?   I have the latest version and the itunes and all files have been created using the most recent version.

    You have identical versions of iTunes on both machines?  The two latest updates of iTunes (12.3.3, 12.4.0) have included both updates of database for the latest library files can only be read by older versions.

    How are you "Portage" your library data?  The error message may indicate a corrupt library file.

    Also note that you should not try to replicate the folder iTunes program between computers - there is a high risk that the results will be unpredictable, especially since you're moving between two different editions of Windows.  There is really no need to do this - there is no data stored within the hierarchy of program files, who wanted to be replicated on several PC.

Is someone can you please tell me what is wrong with him? Is the drive broken? Need to replace DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thank you.

    Hello

    It is possible that your drive is broken.
    These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
    Well, your laptop is not very old the guarantee must be valid. In this case, I recommend to ask the service partner to help him. The guarantee must cover all replacements.

  • Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

    my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

    Hello

    I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
    In this case, you need additional codecs.
    This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
    Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

    According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

    Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

    I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.

  • HP Pavilion X 2: HP Pavilion XP cannot read data from USB DVDs

    We bought a HP 10-ND200ND (HP pavilion X 2) in the Mediamarkt and tried to install Microsoft Office from a DVD via a DVD USB Samsung player.  This was not possible. According to Support Mediamarkt this product is a Tablet and so cannot read data DVD´s. Only General to play music. To buy a laptop computer for this application. The operating system is Windows 10 (32 bit). Is that correct. Please advice.

    Hi Banhien, the cause is known. I have seen other comments on the HP forum and concluded that the reader needs more power than is available through the USB connector of. I added a hub that can provide power to its connectors USB, HP X 2, by car and the problem has been resolved! It was noted that the mini USB is also more powerful and with the type of adapter USB USB C it might also work, but I did not test this, because I do not have such an adapter. It's odd that such a mini can provide more power. It is surprising that the HP Pavilion X 2 does not have a powerful USB. But the problem is solved. Thanks for your response! Best regards, wiely

  • Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

    My CD/DVD drive does not work.

    It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

    If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

    I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

    Help please.

  • Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

    Hi all

    I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
    (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
    (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
    Is it safe to change the E to D drive

    Nirko

    Hello

    1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
    2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

    Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
    * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*
