• Satellite P200 - external monitor

  Hi all

  I bought an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD) to expand one of my laptop (Toshiba Satellite P200 - 1 K 9, ATI Readon 2600HD).

  When the monitor is connected with VGA, all is well for the first two hours. Later, a message saying: 'the driver has stopped working and restarted' watch. Immediately after that, Vista restarts. When I connect the HDMI monitor, the image quality is very poor. I installed the latest drivers for the graphics card and the monitor.

  Any ideas?.

  Thank you

  Hello Nikola

  A friend of mine bought 23 external screen but not Samsung. He uses it with Satellite U400. Satellite U400 has HDMI port as your Satellite P200.
  He tested it with HDMI-HDMI cable and the picture was not so perfect.
  Later he bought a HDMI-DVI cable and the image on the external screen is now perfect. HDMI is connected to the computer laptop and DVI to display.

  If possible, try the same thing. I really hope that you will have a good result too.
  Please note that with this cable just video signal will be sent to the screen. For audio you need separate cable.

• External hard drive with Windows NT File System (NTFS) Format

  I bought an external hard drive Samsung M3 about a year (1 to). I used a lot for about 3 months on my mac and then left it stored until I need it again. I then tried to use it today and for some reason, the format converted to Windows NT (NTFS) file system. Looking at other forums, the only way to change what has been suggested is to erase and format it in NTFS for Mac. However, I have 500 GB of data on what I don't want to erase. Does anyone have any suggestions, or any reason that the format has changed all of a sudden, do my hard drive now ReadOnly cannot think?

  1. the format has not changed

  2. There is no such format NTFS for Mac

  Would you like to start your story please?

• Trying to access the files on an external drive. It is denied. Some files are accessable. / problem solved. But please help me learn.

  Hello.

  I use XP Home 32-bit Edition. My a-external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 Tb USB2 HARD drive: model number: WDBAAF0015HBK-00.

  I can't access all files on the external hard drive. Currently, I mounted it on a folder. I have some files tif on the external hard drive and wanted to access my photos.

  The message that I had to right click and select open with was "access to C:\(Folder tree) denied." I tried my programs and the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer of image editing. Nothing works.

  When I right click on the images of problem the only options I have are: open, print, edit, Preview, open with, send to. None of these work.

  Some files are not accessible, and others. Unaccessable files do not have a preview image in the window pane (on the lower left side when I'm in the folder).

  This can happen if I didn't 'delete safetly' external hard drive or there was a Brown out? Some of the tif are too long file extensions? Shouldn't windows warn me too long file extensions?

  I consulted the havn't the reader for a while.

  I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files. When I click on a file, and then click file - properties: nothing shows up and he says: size: 0 bytes, size on disk: 0 bytes. But when I click on the file in the folder, it says that it is 23.3 MB. I can move the folder on my desktop.

  When I select all the files and click on file - properties: it is said attributes: read-only and hidden. They are green in box, I have not did those and it does not work. I clicked on Advanced Options, again I had unstapled the ReadOnly and hidden, then I unchecked all 4 options because they were greenboxed too. It's green boxes, not the check marks in both situations. What are the green boxes?

  ______________________________________________________

  Fixed a problem. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it. At this point, I just thought, since I had problems with the music files (mp3 or wav) is too long and is not be able to access or remove them, but I can delete the folders to get rid of them.

  So my question is why am I unable to access the files? This is a limitation of my external hard drive? Can I test or repair? What is this kind of disk with this version of Windows? What is a format? It's NTFS. Computer management indicates that the external drive is healthy.

  It seems that some files are not named as long as others and I could access those. Is there a limit on character/attribution of Tif or all types of files? If so, is it the same? Pourrait - linked to the way in which the external (or internal drive?) is setup in the policies tab? Are each disk different? They seem to be a little more limited than the internal hard drives, but I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the usb2.

  Does anyone know if there is a program or a way to know how many letters or numbers have been used? Microsoft Word and Works a number of words, but Works 9 (I have that) doesn't have a number of letter.

  Contradict you yourself.  At one point, you said:

  > I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files.
  and then you say:
  > A problem fixed. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it.

  This side, the general approach to access in this case is "Ownership" of these files.
  "How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >

  This probably occurred because the files were created on different computers by users with different Secure ID (SID) or you have reinstalled Windows and files were protected to some extent.  Since you are using XP Home Edition, the only way to see the security settings is to start your computer using safe mode and log in as an administrator.  This will give you access to the 'Security' tab when you right-click on a file and select 'Properties' (as described in the article above).  Apart from connecting with Safe Mode, you can use 'Cacls' command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") to view or change permissions on files

• Problem with the PC Backup on the external DRIVE on the network drive home.

  I made backups of my laptop wirelessly through my router to my connecting external hard drive attached to my desktop, when I used Microsoft OneCare. Since then, OneCare is being abandoned, I decided to go to the basics of Microsoft (MS). Unfortunately, Ms Essentials doesn't have the features of OneCare. I try to perform a backup using the backup and Restore Center, however, I get an error message when I put backup settings to location network - error code: 0 x 80070534, no mapping between account names and security IDS was done... the results. Is there a KB or a fix for this problem? I've looked everywhere for answers and keep looking, however, I have found no solid solution (especially scams, i.e. pc scanners and fixers of registry error). How is it that I could make a backup without problem with OneCare (that I have no more:{{class=fontblue}} {.}) Now I try to do through the Center backup and restore, the backup does not work! It makes no sense at all!  I have Windows OS: Vista Home Premium 32-bit 2 Gb RAM SP2; HARD drive external: Maxtor 3200 (320Gb) hdd personal

  Thanks, I found the problem. I had to uncheck the ReadOnly property on the folder that I traced to use for my backup location on my HARD drive. In truth, the property read-only (checkbox) is not checked, it is filled (designates the system setting) with a green square in the box (on my Windows XP desktop). I'm sure that others have missed this little nuisance. It's cheating. I don't know how many times I looked at the folder that I use for my backups, forget to realize that the ReadOnly is the default setting for the file. I no longer get the error message: 0 x 80070534, no mapping between account names and security IDS was done. I can't believe it's just as simple as that! My backups work fine.

  Karena, R, thank you for your time and help in any way.

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• Seagate external hard drive / / no display

  Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

  Help, please!

  Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.

  Another thing I tried was still unplug HD plugin MBA on sector and re - a SMC.

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

  For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility

  See you soon!

• MacBook Pro died after using 2 external displays

  On Monday this week, I got a new MacBook Pro. I downloaded Logic Pro X that I use with my keyboard plugged into one of the USB and my audio interface (hearer iD14) plugged into the other. I also use a LG monitor and a Samsung. To do this, I connected a KÖNIG hdm-switch on the HDMI from the MacBook and then inserted two monitors in the switch. It's all very well worked for several hours until the screen went all weird and then the computer is completely dead and it is still very, very dead. I tried now hold the power button for 10 seconds, but that does not help. I also tried Ctrl + alt + shift + power, releasing and pressing the power button once again, without a bit of luck. I tried to load, what does not work either.

  2.2 GHz Quad - Core Intel Core i7, 6 MB of cache L3 (turbo boost up to 3.4 GHz)

  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM memory

  256 GB of flash storage

  OS X pre-installed (not sure if Sierra was installed when I start the computer for the first time, so I don't really know and now I can't check, so...)

  As the computer is dead, I wasn't using the charger. Then causing do this? Or is it because I used the hardware (monitors, switch) that are not Apple? Or is it simply not recommended using external monitors with MacBook Pro? I really don't understand if I fried it by using it in a bad way, or if I just had a bad luck to get a product with property damage or something.

  I really need to use two monitors, so I hope that's not the problem...

  Someone at - he experienced something similar to this?

  Post edited by: mlnrvlton

  I would resume, they are intended to support two monitors im pretty sure and I use mine with a dell monitor and it is not a problem.

  I would say that what you have done is proper use of the machine, so says apple is not the Dell XPS 13 build 3 screens 4K...

• How to recover data from my macbook pro drive to an external hard drive?

  My Mac pro does not work. Is it possible to back up my data through safe mode? Problem is that I accidentally deleted my last backup in my external hard drive. I'm just trying to retrieve photos and videos.

  Perhaps. What happens when you start up the Mac normally?

  You have another Mac?

  This Mac starts to recover? (need of Lion or later)?

  What version of Mac and Mac OS model?

• sierraOS performance issue with 2 external displays

  I have a mid 2013 15 inch rmbp with an i7 2.4 ghz and 650 m from nvidia. I've always used my mac connected to 2 external monitors and everything was always fine. Fans occasionally happen as expected for more demanding applications. Since the installation of sierra fans will be shut off for something else then inactive. Tab 1 safari open is enough to make it go. It's pretty boring, so I'm just looking at a few Web pages. Everyone knows this? all the patches? I have not changed the settings or run everything I don't have not primarily just installed the update.

  Solve this takes some exploring with the activity monitor. Users are generally something that was delayed from their previous configuration is hogging the CPU or memory, or badly behaving badly, to cause such problems. It is usually not MacOS itself that is the question.

• Viewfinder does not external registration

  I upgraded to macOS Sierra immediately.  It went well until suddenly Finder has not shown the HDS or the USBs external even though they do not appear in the utility disk and on my desk.  How can this be addressed?

  In the Finder preferences > sidebar under devices make sure external drives are checked. If they are try to uncheck and then recheck.

• (Mid-2010) Mini Mac external speakers + Sierra

  Hello guys,.

  I wonder about this new system. Since I downloaded it my external speakers have not worked. I have Aiwa speakers before 180 system. I tried to plug in the headphones or the internal speakers and nothing happens. The speakers still work b/c I hear static and I have tried plugged into themselves and I got a your hard. So my best guess is that Siri has messed up this older model Mac compatibility. So, what gives Sierra, I love so much that I have would be to demote, however there is no more Audio download of El Capitan.

  Check your sound settings in system preferences. They could be eset with default values. Often just tilting head and on the output selections will 'wake up' the system.

  Alternatively try a Starter course if the above does not help.

  ------

  Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.
