Documents on the hard drive and USB drives are automatically sent to the trash

Why are some of my documents (files) on my hard drive and external drive is sent to the trash without my consent.  Is there a virus in my Mac the cause? If so, how to solve this problem?  Only selective files are sent to the trash for deletion after a reboot.  It seems that my computer has been taken to target.

Mac Book Pro (to 2011)

OS X EL Capitan to. 10.11.3

8 GB memory

Thank you

  • My files on the hard drive are getting corrupted?

    I use the model of MacBook Air 2013 Yosemite running. I have a Seagate BackPlus 1 TB drive to NTFS. And I use Tuxers NTFS on my Mac to read and write files from NTFS devices. Lately, I'm sloly from knowledge that my files on the hard drive are getting corrupted. When I try to open any folder I blocks until I have remove my hard drive. I lost some files like this. Now, they are completely inaccessilble. The big sone files show even ehen 0 bytes, they are around a GB or something. I start out freak because all my data is in this hard drive. 1 TB of data. Its my life is locked in it.

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Thanks in advance...

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Probably not. The problem you are experiencing is almost certainly that the drive itself has failed. It could have also been caused by third party software that you use to support a formatted NTFS volume. Isolate the cause to one or the other is probably not an effort worth it, because the files themselves are probably already damaged and unusable. In this case the only alternative to certain to succeed is to restore from a backup.

    As you know the Mac FAT32 and ExFAT supports and can read, but not write - formatted NTFS volume. For this reason, if you ask the Windows compatibility, you must select ExFAT.

    You could try using the third-party data recovery software, even if success is not guaranteed. I can offer no specific product recommendations.

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

  • What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP?

    My HARD drive is somehow broken :( What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP so that I can something eBay?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Satellite L300 supports SATA HDD!
    SATA controller having no physical limit, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA. So, for example, a 500 GB 2.5 SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive should be compatible.

    and my messages are not sent. I have a total of 9 messages that have been blocked.

    Do I need to have a pop3 address or can you tell me what is happing.

    You must have an account set up under Tools | Accounts | Mail to send from Windows Mail.  If you click on a link, it will not lead you to a webmail interface, but called instead a mail client, such as WinMail.  Around that, the only way is to copy the email address and paste it into a new message you have composed of webmail.

  • Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

    Hello!

    I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

    Hi Dan:

    Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

    120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

    for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

    for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

    An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

    For me:

    I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

    I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

    I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

    Good luck finding your best solution.

  • Does not see the utility Airport Airport Extreme or any other device in the House on the network. However, all devices are getting internet.  Backups on external hard drive are going wireless, too. Yosemite day and other software. What should do?

    Said Airport utility cannot find extreme AP, which used to be on the network and shows no other devices on the network. But all devices (MBPro, MBAir, iMac, iPod touch, iPad 2 air2) are connected to the internet. Wireless backups on external drives are being completed. El Capitan 10.11.2; Airport Utility 6.3.6. How do "seen it all" again?

    What should do?

    All you can do is to try to circumvent some of the bugs crawl into El Capitan.

    Given that the AirPort Utility becomes easily confused about what are the devices on the network, it will sometimes help to perform a complete cycle of power on the network. If you want to try it...

    Power off all devices on the network, routers, computers, accessories, mobile devices, printers, etc... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the modem first and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes

    Then, switch on the device connected to the modem and leaves turn a good minute

    Keep power devices one at a time about a minute out until the entire network is back

    Recheck the AirPort Utility

    If still no luck, we will have to try some repellent on Mac.

  • I'm trying to recover my documents on a hard drive that has a damaged copy of windows on it.

    I'm trying to recover the files on the computer of a friend who crashed some time ago. I can't get windows XP to boot at all, even in safe mode.

    When I set the old hard drive to another computer and try to access the folder my documents, it requires user name and password. I enter it and get a permission denied message. How can I access this data?

    Can I reinstall windows without wiping the hard drive and then try to take ownership of files? I'm so confused please help someone!

    You don't need to reinstall Windows.  Just take possession of the documents folder. Boulder computer Maven

  • Satellite A135-S4487 - new HARD drive, are not not on the desk

    I have an A135-s4487 with two hard drives, the two 120 GB. I wanted to increase one of the discs with a 500 GB hard drive. I replaced the 2nd hard drive with the new seagate Momentus 500 GB disk. The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.

    Someone else has had this problem when changing drives, drive is too big and two disks must be of the same size? My OS is the smallest disk. I put the old drive to 120 GB in computer and everything works fine. Thank you

    Running Windows 7 with 4 GB of RAM

    Hi simirob,

    > The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.
    Yes, because you must create a partition and format everything first before you can use and it s listed under computer.

    Here's a very nice guide how to use the Windows disk management feature to create the partition, format the drive, etc.

  • This replacement of hard drives are supported by the Satellite P30?

    Hello
    My P30 came with a HARD disk that rotates at 4500 rpm of 80 GB. I really need a floppy that can write and access data fast enough for video editing (rendered) and multi track audio recording.

    Are there alternative products that can improve the performance of my computer? I have already ordered 2 GB of RAM.
    Would a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 works with my device?

    I guess you mean the Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 100 GB drive HARD 7200 RPM 8 MB cache 2, drive HARD 5Zoll.
    I think you can use the HARD disk with the following properties:

    hard drive 9.5 mm with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB / 80 / 100GB / 120GB
    Bus Master IDE
    Support 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

    Disk HARD 7200prm will produce more heat but perhaps the laptop could handle this. Otherwise you will get some overheating shutdown downs.

  • It seems my time machine and external hard drive are wiped clean this morning I started my computer. Is there a way I can know for sure if anything is salvageable?

    I started my iMac this morning find a message that I didn't stop my Seagate external hard drive properly. I always just shut down my computer, I do not close the hard drive first. Now the computer says disc is not readable by this computer. Looks like it's a goner but maybe not, I don't know. I can't tell if it's the same thing to my Lacie Time Machine. There are no backups on it. How will I know what to do? Nothing is salvageable?

    Try to run a disk utility to repair your disk of TM. It seems that there are 757 GB of backup data it me.
