Disk utility will not erase a CD.

• Disk utility will not let me click on the partition.

  I've updated to El Capitan, disk utility since refuses to let me click on partition.

  Accidentally, I partitioned my disk flash before I updated and so I need to cancel, because now I have 200 MB of storage on it.

  I tried using terminal but I have been unable to fix this way, too.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you

  Make sure that all your files are backed up. Accidents happen and I'd hate for you to lose all data.

  Are you trying to repartition the boot disk? If I understand correctly, your hard disk is currently partitioned, and you need to recover a single correct hard drive?

  You can't repair the disk hard while you use the hard disk. To get the partition on a single disk, boot from the recovery disc.

  Restart the computer and press immediately on and hold command-R until you see a loading bar, and then release the keys. Once the recovery disc starts, choose your language (if it asks you to) and then again open disk utility. Now, select your hard drive and delete the extra partition. It should tell you "this will not affect your files...". "but if he says that you will lose all data, STOP. Make sure that you remove the extra partition without data on this subject. I'm guessing that it's called "Untitled 1" or something that affects unless you named it something different.

• the user will not erase & isn't in Control Panel users

  If I go to C:\Documents and Settings, there is a user that I never had and want to get rid of. But this user has never been and is not present in Control Panel > users. If I try to remove it from C:\Documents and Settings, it starts with a box to confirm deleting file saying 'the file 'xxxxx' contains items whose name is too long for the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? "I click Yes or Yes to all.

  Then he quickly paged home with a box titled error deleting file or folder that says "cannot delete the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: cannot find the specified file." Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name. I click on one button, OK, and I'm done. It will not erase. So I renamed this user ' broken but will not erase "other users on this list are administrator, Administrator.JEFF - A40763A256, all users, all Users.WINDOWS, by default, the User.Window default user, guest, Jeff.JEFF - A40763A256 (me). Not sure why mine has this weird kind of thing next to my name (?). In any case, I guess this isn't a problem.

  If I look in Control Panel > user accounts, I see that Jeff (Administrator) and comments - the guest account is disabled. These are the only two users ever.

  You can manage your startup to find out why your computer is experiencing difficulties of start and stop. Certainly I would test the hard drive.

  Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

  This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Hi Ron,

  1. how many printers is connected to the computer?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what happens when you try to change printer (LPT1) port

  Method 1

  See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

  Problems printing and printing errors

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/en-us?EntryPoint=lightbox

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you restart the computer the print spooler service and check if it works.

  A print spooler is a system service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

  To change or restart the print spooler service

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (a) open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.

  (b) double click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

  (d) under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure thatAutomatic is selected.

  (e) if the service is not already running, under Service status, click pie Sand then clickOK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

  I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

  Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

  If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

  If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

• App is not properly download now will not erase!

  I downloaded an app, but it does not download properly. I tried to remove it, but it will not erase my ipad screen.

  When I try to use the app it says waiting but never of the charges. so annoying how do I get rid of him.

  Thank you

  Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

• print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase

  I have a HP 4620.  I sent a print job to the computer via the network.  It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job.  It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days).  I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete.  I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove.  So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted.  Can I remove the new print jobs.  Someone at - it solution.

  Hello

  From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

  Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  Kind regards

• print job is stuck that pf HP psc 5210 series, will not erase Paul job, cannot print anything now

  print job is stuck that pf HP psc 5210 series, will not erase Paul job, cannot print anything now

  I have a printer HP psc 2510 series deskjet.  Print many documents, it has notified me that I was low on ink which I was aware of.  I had a little more what to print, and chose the young project option for printing of no more than 1 to 3 pages.  I constantly tried to cancel the job that kept the origin of the printer show (not answer).  It aligned to the top other jobs, but after trying to delete all, printer then turn on again, it still shows the original print job, and I'm unable to find a way out of Quebec

  Verification of updates, there are only two listed as "optional" still thought by downloading them, it can solve the problem.  It does not; He gave the error message on the print job in that causing a feeling of power.

  I've never seen this before; I was always able to plug & play on my desktop printer and trying to use it on my Sony VAIO VGN-NW310F series.

  It is imperative to get this resolved.  School assignments are due and professorts not only does not want to hear the excuses of any kind, printing problems have always been easily resolved so far.

  Please - I need immediate assistance.  I already used the troubleshooter printer online which, as said earlier custody indicating the print job to Québec, is causing the printer to not answer.  I cancelled each time, but it will not go away.  I turned off the printer, reinstalled in the hope it would be empty, but it will not.

  I appreciate your atttention guest on this subject.  I work with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system.

  Thank you for your help.

  Try in Services, locate the printer spooler, select it, and then stop the service.

  Then check if you can delete the print job, if so restart the service

• Maps and layouts: update of the failure or will not erase

  Select Page layouts et Cards fail to update correctly. This is the case for the unreleased updates to with no associated collection and the unreleased cards with associated No. layouts. In addition, in some cases published layouts or maps indicate the status ""update failed, obsolete, "but the changes make their way to the app." This happens for some layouts and cards, but not all; In addition, some layouts and cards work fine for awhile and then fail to publish or will not erase. Is this a known issue? [using publish.adobe.com app 2015.2.100 version]

  Hey Kristen - Sounds complicated, and I don't know all the details completely, but I have had similar experiences and started to notice the following, especially with the cards and layouts.

  Scenario:

  I have a card and use it in a mapping rule for a layout. Everything is cool, work the way you want.

  Now, I want to remove the card (I am resetting things for a demo session and want to start without cards nor the updates page with the exception of the default values.)

  If I delete the card first, I get the message "Failed to update, obsolete".

  To avoid this or delete it, I need to remove all mapping rules in all page layouts that call the map and publish all these layouts (without the map reference.)

  So I new and remove the card.

  I followed a similar procedure for the removal of the page layouts-

  The value of all the collections so that none use the layout to remove

  Publish all the collections that are obsolete.

  Then you can new and remove the unwanted provision.

  It's probably pretty fussy, but it works.

  I've had similar experiences with items and collections. If an article or a collection is used in several collections, I would get a similar error. I had to work on what article or the collection has been used in several places before I could new and delete.

  Hope that helps

• Samsung EVO850 plus disk Util is not smart

  HI -.

  I have a MacBook Pro 15 "late 2011, for which I bought a 1 to Samsung EVO 850 SSD."  I want to replace the internal MacHD with the SSD.

  I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.  Using disk utility I erased the SSD and reformatted using OSX journaled Extended.  The process took seconds to complete.  However when I check the S.M.A.R.T. status on the SSD TO THE shows 'not supported '.  Also (probably part of the same problem) - if I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block.

  -What is the problem?  I don't know that this EVO 850 is compatible with this MBP.  Disk utility is quite simple.  But the result is not SMART.  Did I miss a step?  How can I reformat this SSD to support the Smart function.

  TIA your entry,

  Josh

  -What is the problem?

  The only thing wrong with what you mentioned is your understanding of it. everything works as expected.

  I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.

  in general, docking stations, in individuals and external drives do not support SMART status.

  Smart seemed like a good idea when it was invented, but it fell away, far from being useful. It indicates usually that your reader has a hard time AFTER that the car exploded. Or he reports that your drive is about to die, three years before his actual death.

  If I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD, I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block".

  You cannot copy the Volume Mac OS X is running to use the copy of disk utility that is on the Source Volume. Disk utility insists the drive mounted, so that no one else has the ability to change the contents of the disc while you are copying. You can't unmount the disk because Mac OS X is started from, so you cannot copy the path you want.

  If you want to make this copy, start under Recovery HD (which is another partition on your boot drive) and use the disk utility it. Then you can copy the Mac OS X Volume (but not the Volume of recovery HD, because it will be busy.

• NEC player treats the DVD - RW in read mode only - will not erase or allow you to replace

  Brief description: I burn TV for DVD - RW disks shows and having seen on TV, re - use the drive for new shows. After several reuses (5-10), the disc cannot be erased, and when I try to delete files on the disk, Explorer tells me the disk is read-only and begins to access D drive problems.

  Detailed description:

  Computer: Dell Inspiron 9300

  System: MS XP Media Edition

  Burning software: ImgBurn and BurnAware

  Trying to delete it:

  (1) ImgBurn trying to erase before burning new files - I get a ' Oh, no. ' and a failure on the mark of 43%.  The analysis is as follows:

  (2) BurnAware - I ran quick and full erase erase.  BurnAware then tells me that the disc is erased, but when I try to use it to burn the new files, it goes in a loop to tell me that he must erase the drive, run the deletion program, telling me to wipe the drive, run the deletion... without doubt ad infinitum.

  (3) active @ DVD Eraser, which is a dedicated erase utility.  He also tells me that he erased the disc successfully, both the quick and full erase operation.

  (4) while Windows Explorer will not bring up the option 'Clear' with the discs, I tried simply to delete the files on the disks.  Explorer tells me that the disc is read-only.

  Other error messages ImgBurn gave me while I'm trying to workaround:

  (a) external to Exception E06D7363

  With the drivers, I think it means that the drive is locked.

  b DeviceIoControl (FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) failed

  Cannot lock volume for exclusive access

  Reason: Access is denied

  ImgBurn then suggests that I have close other programs that might be using the file.  There is nothing that I see running using the file.

  Engraved on the disc files continue to play, so burn attempts success messages appear to have no effect on the disc.

  Meanwhile, other DVD - RW disks continue to work fine, until one day the player converts a unerasable disc. The first time, I thought it was a medium failure, but I do not think that several drives would fail in exactly in the same way, with issues related to future readers.  The problem of subsequent player is, of course, the Drive D not available, access denied message that comes out the D drive.  I can get it using burners do something successful, or think it is successful.

  In any case, any suggestions on how I can keep re - use RW discs?

  
  

• Airport utility will not install

  When I try to install AirPort Utility on my iMac running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported.

  could you please help.

  OS X El Capitan is already bundled with AirPort Utility v6.x. It seems that you try to install the older v5.x for the utility. Unfortunately, this older version will not install on later versions of OS X.

  If you require administer an older 802.11 g AirPort access point you will need a Mac running OS X Lion or earlier or a Windows XP or 7 PC.
