• EA4500 - unstable connection to my external hard drive from Seagate Freeagent

  Hello

  I would be very grateful if someone can help solve the problem captioned.

  I bought the EA4500 for a week and all is well, except that the connection to my external hard drive 1 TB via the USB port of the EA4500 is not stable.

  The router are visible at the level of the 'network' of Windows 7, as one of the "Computer".   I therefore use my memeo autobackup software to back up my data via a network connection on the external hard drive.

  It works very well, however, for a limited time.  The time is a few hours.

  After that happens, the device can no longer be seen at the level of the "network".  In addition, it cannot be mapped via the service 'road map' normal.  A "Not enough resources" error when I want to map the drive.

  The problem can be solved temporarily after a "roboot" of the router.  But it's frustrating.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  What is the ip address of your router buffalo? 192.168.11.1?

  Check and see if you are double natting.

  Try changing the scope and dhcp IP linksys range identical to the buffalo.

• How to copy a catalog of external hard drive to the hard drive of the computer to use smart insights not connected to the external hard drive?

  I am very new to LR5. I put LR5 in place so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I discovered that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 can't find my catalog, therefore, I can't do any editing in intelligent insights, unless it is connected to an external hard drive. How can I fix this so that I can edit photos without being connected to an external hard drive. Is it possible to copy the catalog out of the hard disk on the computer's hard drive or I have to re-establish a new catalog using LR5? Must the catalog always be loaded onto the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

  Yes that's correct. The LR catalog must be on the computer's internal drive. Then when you have smart previews activated you can change the image without going through the reader that they are connected. When you connect this drive images will be updated.

  Simply COPY these 4 folders on your internal drive in a folder called Lightroom catalog that you create. Then open LR and go on the file menu point and select open catalog. Navigate to the folder you created called catalog in Lightroom and select the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5 file and click Open. Once restart Lightroom open change preferences, > preferences, and under the general tab, in the catalog default section make sure that "when starting to use this catalogue:" listings in the area where you copied the files. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever, have created it this folder/that folder name/Lightroom catalog.lrcat 5.

• Unrecognized external SATA drive

  I have a Dimension 9150 with two hard disks configured in Raid 1 (Mirrored), connected to the first two (0 & 1) 4 SATA connectors on the motherboard.  I recently bought a case of outside with its own power supply hard drive and the USB connection or the eSATA connection and installed a hard drive of 500 GB in it.  When you use the USB connection, the computer recognize the external drive and was able to format, however, when I try the SATA connection (using the eSATA cart provided by the manufacturer of the housing connected to the SATA 3 or 4 on the motherboard SATA connectors and backplane eSATA cable to the speaker), the drive is not recognized.  Any ideas?

  Note: There seems to be a hint in the manual of the Dimension that activation of Raid configuration may prevent the system from recognizing a drive connected to SATA3, SATA4 unless it is identified as a Raid drive 'spare', in which case the third disc is only recognized and used if one of the two in the mirror pair goes wrong.  If this is the case, I guess I'm sunk and stuck with USB slower unless I do it without RAID, but the manual is not really clear on this.

  3 have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another USB port?

  Please follow the methods and mark the question below:

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to run the Microsoft Fix It from the link below.

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

• Can connect is no longer with my external hard drive.

  I started getting this message while trying to connect to our external hard drive: no more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time, because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.   We use it to transfer files between our office and our laptop.  The office is the main computer that is running Windows XP home.  The laptop is running Windows 7.  It works very well.  Someone has an idea of what is happening, and how to fix?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Windows XP Home Edition can keep only 5 network connections.

  Apparently, your network is now more than that to the computer and cannot connect the reader more.

  Win XP Pro 10 connections.

• Using an external hard drive with El Capitan

  I connected a Toshiba external hard drive in a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to back up some files.

  First, he asked if I wanted to use it for time machine. I selected "decide later".

  Then, I realized that I could not create a new folder on the hard drive, or I could stick anything on it (to save).

  I could copy the HD stuff and paste on my desktop only, but not what I need...

  What is a typical problem? Is it because I chose to decide later? Has anyone encountered this before?

  (p.s. Please also indicate if the question category, I chose should be changed)

  This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac. To check, select the volume in the Finder, choose information, look at the format.

  In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

• How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

  I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
  1 C drive where Windows is installed
  2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

  We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

  I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

  During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.
