• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• replace the dvd drive pavillion 1157

  The DVD in my HP Pavilion p7 player - 1157c is having a problem reading the CD/DVD, once they are placed in the drawer.  That's what I've done so far:

  • I reinstalled the cables although they were not cowards.
  • Uninstalled the DVD driver and restarted the computer and Windows 7 64 b reinstalled the driver.

  The drawer will always open and close and makes normal sounds when you first insert a CD, but it stops after a few seconds.

  After that these things did not work, I decided to buy a replacement for the CD/DVD drive last night and went to install it this morning but it seems that the power supply works in the way and I can't get the DVD player.   Y at - it something for the old DVD out without removing the power supply?   I'm usually not mechanically challenged but this has me confused.

  Thank you very much

  Please be specific on what you mean by "far from many errors on the hard drive."  What kind of mistakes? Do you mean the drive read errors? Please quote the error message you get exact, verbatim.

  How many mistakes is "too much"? How many times they do they happen? They occur only when doing certain things or anything?

  If you really get a lot of the drive read errors, the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  But if you're talking about freezing, slow, etc. This is another question entirely, and I wouldn't call it 'errors on the hard drive. The little info you provided the mind, it is difficult to know what this problem is, but one of the things these days plussusceptibles is malware infection. What antivirus do you run (they are far from being just as good, and some of the most popular are among the worst). Do you also run an anti-spyware program? If not, it's * very * likelythat you are infected. I recommend that you download and run the free MalwareBytes AntiMalware to http://www. Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Does anyone know how? Is there a manual with available how?

  Hello

  This notebook is not know for me but has checked some sites on the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
  Then lift the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM of PJ15 card on the system board.
  Remove the two screws that fix the Board Connector CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.
  Separate the brace connector connector Office CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM CD/DVD-ROM drive

  Well, I think that it of not easy for a person without experience.

• Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

  Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

  OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

  The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

  This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

  Seems odd.

  The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

• Satellite Pro U400 - 24 - crack appeared in the frame above the DVD drive

  I have a fairly new Satellite Pro U400 - 24 hours (seven months), where a crack appeared just above the DVD drive, close to the screen where the slot ends. I know for sure that I havn't dropped it, so I just want to know if it is a problem that everyone knows? If the framework becomes fragile due to heating (it's pretty warm when he must preform)

  Hey,.

  I put t really know why this happens, but on my Satellite U400 I couldn t notice such a problem. I have a year now and it works perfectly and the case doesn't have a crack or something.

  In my opinion, you should contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a new replacement part and swap it for you! :)

• Equium L20-264 - how to remove the DVD drive?

  Hello

  I try to replace the DVD drive on this laptop and removed the setscrews on the base, but he didn't budge.

  There is another screw somewhere? I know that some have their screws under the keyboard, but that would need more than one? I also have a Satellite 350 and I took it easily by removing the screws located at the base.

  Any help would be appreciated

• Aspire 5740g and the dvd drive does not appear in 'my computer '.

  I had to have a new installed hard drive I got an error message saying old default disk.

  I also had a clean install of windows 7 that I was uncertain if my discs that I created would be ok.

  So I have not all the gifts that have been installed on the laptop like new. Now, I find that the dvd drive is not displayed in my computer and nothing happens when I insert the disc.

  This has happened a couple of days and I did a restore of the system to a previous restore point.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

  I also do not have the secure egis - any ideas how to get this back

  Then... your DVD is probably defective.

  did you check in the BIOS if it is listed on bootable devices?

  Press F2 at startup, if it is not listed, it is defective.
