  • Computer doesn't recognize is not the readers

    Hello!

    So my girlfriends mid 2009 stock 13 '' MacBook Pro HD went crap and I bought a new. It is a Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSD and its a HD approved Seagate and is 100% compatible with the computer. In any case, I got the drive and installed. I have a bootable USB key with OS X El Capitan on it and proceeded to install a new OS on the drive, but about 5 minutes in the installation has failed and asked to restart or shut down and try again (it was also showing the log files).

    I rebooted and held down the option key to display the bootable disks and now nothing appears. I tried to use different external drives, tried to use even the recovery of the internet, different USB ports and nothing works - he plays just the startup sound and a white screen blank forever, until I press the power button to switch it again 10 minutes or later. This continues to be! I have a feeling that the motherboard has gone to sh * but I wanted to post on here to see if anyone had any ideas? I talked to AppleCare and they have nothing in addition to sending the computer in which I do not for the moment.

    I recently reset SMC, NVRAM, started in safe mode, etc all before I ordered and installed the new drive. Should I do it again just to make sure this isn't one of those issues?

    Also forgot to mention that when I installed the new HD, I was able to format of OS X journaled extended, then proceeded to install the new OS.

    Also sometimes the computer actually shows the Apple logo at startup and a status bar (before I select a boot drive) 3 minutes later this black-bordered code (which spans the top of the screen down) appears on the left side of the screen, and then the computer restarts again. -So who plays a role any in everything that's wrong with her.

    Thanks in advance!

    Josh

    Use the diskettes provided with the MBP original Leopard installation.  Your El Capitan USB Installer is maybe damaged.

    If possible, try to install El Capitan with another Mac.

    The Seagate 1 TB SSHD is certainly compatible because I had installed in my MBP.

    My HP dv6000 family Window Vista premium Service pack 2 64-bit does not recognize my internet connection (local area connection or wireless network connection).

I deleted my wireless network and set up again and always say the same thing.

  • iTunes doesn't recognize or not restore iphone 5s

    Monday last iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone 5 s when I plug it to my PC. This also means that it doesn't connect on wifi for my iPad to use hand-off.

    I tried to reinstall iTunes and update iTunes and the phone. I also tried to restore the phone but iTunes doesn't recognize even in recovery mode. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing has worked.

    I don't want to take it to my local dealer because one of the guys he has messed up my old iPhone 5 and I configured on the wrong carrier after giving me 2 messed up phones under warranty.

    Erase all content and settings to fix this or am I just stuck with a phone that does not work with my other devices?

    I thought I had tried all the tips listed before but have not seen the thing on Device Manager. Now it works again.

  • Computer doesn't turn off not except by a forced shutdown

    My computer shuts down only about half the time, or maybe less, and then I have to force a stop to the bottom by pressing the Start button on the computer.  I use IE 11 and Windows 7 and this problem started a month ago but I don't remember not something unusual is going on when it started.  Sometimes I let it just keep running and showing that he stops, and when I come back later to check it out, sometimes it is an icon in the task bar stating "Windows".  I can click on and close the icon & then it stops.  But it happened only about three times.  Usually he just keep running and showing it to stop until I have to force a stop down.

    Sometimes, when it starts all first, it flashes a message that a window is not closed and I have to click 'Cancel' and close the window.  But it's frozen so does not help by clicking Cancel.  I was always very careful to close all windows and usually turn off the computer at night.

    Of course, I'd appreciate any help with this problem.  wannierob

    Hello Wannierob,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    This scenario usually indicates a problem with the hardware. Alternatively, the driver can cause this problem. To identify the problem, check the following:


    1 overclocking
    : turn off overclocking to see if the problem occurs when the system is running at the correct speed.

    2. check the memory: check the memory using a memory controller. Check each memory chip is the same speed and that it is configured correctly in the system.

    3. power supply: make sure the power supply is enough power to properly manage installed devices. If you have added memory, installed a newer processor, installed additional disks or added to external devices, such devices may require more energy that the current power supply can provide constantly.

    4 overheating: check if the system is overheated by examining the internal temperature of the equipment.

    5. default values: use the default values of the system, and run the system.

    If you see that the computer generates a Stop error message that contains a BugcheckCode value that is not declared in an event ID 41, change the behavior of the computer restarts. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. right click on my computerand then click Properties.

    2. click on Advanced system settings.

    3. click on the Advanced tab.

    4. in the Startup and recovery section, click settings.

    5. Click to uncheck automatically restart .

  • Time VM synchronizes with host to restart the computer, even if it is not the value. Why?

  • 17-f048nr Notebook PC Pavilion: scroll doesn't work do not, the upgrade of Windows 10

    So after much hesitation, I just upgraded to windows 10. Now I regret it.

    I used to be able to scroll by touchpad, now I can't. I researched solutions and tried to go to Snaptics (on my computer, it says "Snaptics Clickpad V8.1" If that tells you anything), but when you click on it it is said:

    "Unable to connect to the Snaptics Pointing Device Driver.

     

    If you have installed a different PS/2 driver pointing device please uninstall the snaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again.

     

    You want to uninstall the snaptics driver now? " And then gives the options Yes or no

    I don't know what that means, or what I have to do to fix it. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First, download the installer of the Synaptics software on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp72001-72500/sp72344.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  Since the new layout, select the Synaptics entry and check the scrolling options are checked and save any changes - see image below.

  • Problem of USB ports: remove the material does not work. It works on different computers for the same USB devices

    Original title: problem of USB ports:

    I have a computer dell laptop inspiron d1420 provided with Windows vista and I have upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate, I noticed that when I plug in a USB mass storage, when I try to remove it, I don't get the safe delete the message and lately when I try to remove it, I keep getting the message He's busy and I can't remove it. I tried the same USB on another PC and I have no problem at all. I connected a printer, USB cable and wondows llok have not the driver or didn't install the printer, he left as a device not specified with the name of the printer, but I can't print. I tried with another PC that is also running Windows 7 ultimate and I have no problem, windows has installed the driver, because I used the same printer and the same cable. What is the problem with my USB 4 ports and how to fix?

    Hello

    When you get this message while trying to remove a USB, it's basically a lock for this USB device by some process running on the computer. If we know which process is this locking mechanism, we could also find which Service is associated with this problem in the computer.

    To check this, you can use a program called Process Explorer. You can download this program from the following link. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip downloaded to a folder on your desktop. Inside this folder, you will see a file by the name of procexp , which is the executable for Process Explorer. The download link is:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    First, plug the USB to one of the USB ports. Then, once you have the executable to Process Explorer, right-click on it and then click run as administrator. Please allow all guests UAC can occur. Once the Process Explorer is running, please follow these steps to search for processes using the USB at the moment:

    1. click on Searchand then click on manage to find them or DLL on the options menu at the top.

    2. then in the pop - up which will turn up next, type the drive letter for the USB drive connected to the computer (for example G: or H:) right now and click on Search.

    3. he should then display all instances of the process that is using this USB at the moment with the corresponding process ID (PID).

    Now, once you have the names of processes using the USB at this time, you can terminate them by clicking on them and then clicking on Manage close. Once this is done, you should be able to eject the USB safely.

    I would like to ask the names of processes lock the drive in your computer. This should give us an idea of what we might have to take the next.

    In addition, for the other issue that you mentioned, in which the computer does not automatically and correctly detects the printer when it is connected to the computer, I suggest you to check whether or not your computer Plug-and-Play service is set to automatic. Here's how you can do this:

    1. press the Windows and the R on your keyboard to get to the top of the run box.

    2. type Services.msc in the run box and press enter on the keyboard. Allow all UAC prompts that may coming up next.

    3. once it opens the window of the Services for you, scroll down to the Plug-and-Play service and double-click it.

    4. in the properties box that will come next, the Startup type should be set to Auto and the Status of the Service must be started. If this isn't the case, please put these values.

    5. click on apply then OK, close all windows in the computer and restart the computer once.

    Once these steps was performed, please check if the problem remains the same. We know the results.

    I hope that these steps raises you in the right direction in order to solve this problem. Don't answer if you still need assistance, we will be happy to be of assistance.
