  That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

• the shortcut for the external drive icons do not appear on the desktop

  Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  None of the shortcut icons of the program (on my external hard drive) appear on the desktop.  Default icons took their place and launch the correct programs when you click it.  I tried to change individual icons in the correct program ones, but that they would not.  They all used to be there!

  I tried to reboot several times but that has not changed anything.

  The only program added or deleated recently was free archiver B1.  I uninstalled immediately after installing and do not actually use it.

  How to bring back the icons.

  Bill

  Hello Bill,

  Two possibilities come to mind. The first is that the program of the archiver to change icons, in which case you will need to reinstall the program, understand how the icons have been changed, reverse the process and then uninstall the program again. Phew. Its a lot of work, but I got a program do just this thing very to my car icons and it's the process that I had to follow to cancel his "practical work"!

  The other possibility is that his associates to make it an external drive, which is still not very good with Windows. Lets start with this possibility first. First of all, try this Fix It from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics . Not fixed? Try this second difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/ . Still not fixed? Is the drive recognized by Windows - right disk size / type format?

  If the disc itself is not recognized by Windows, try this trick. Download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it from here http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 - use the link Direct download only. Then once its installed, select the external hard drive, then select Properties. That's it, just by selecting the drive and choosing properties are sufficient to get Windows to recognize the drive.

  Now that the drive is recognized by Windows, has the problem of the icon "disappeared"? If the answer is still no, then I think you need to look at the program archive as a real possibility. The only way to know of course is to install the program again and look for a setting (try Configuration) where the program changes the icons of the programs.

  Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

• External drive icons will not change/update

  It drives me crazy...

  I have 3 icons from external drive, which I'm trying to customize.  The VERY FIRST icon I pasted on them worked as expected, after that changes are all or nothing...

  In a specific case, I see the following:

  I put the drive on ANOTHER mac, the icon displayed as expected.

  I attach the drive to my main computer, the icon shows:

  If no other external drives are mounted: the custom 'player/b' icon who was NEVER stuck on the current drive

  If "drive/b" mentioned above is mounted: the OLD icon I deleted out of and pasted multiple times more

  In short I am the guarantee to see either an icon that was NEVER attached to the car in question, OR the first icon I changed it manually the reader to.

  NEVER the drive icon I have several times tried to affect the reader, and that appears on all them Mac says drive is attached to...

  And if you're wondering, I rebooted several times and forced leave finder several times all to no effect...

  You can remove the stacked icons and revert to the default. Then, apply your new icon.

  I find.

  opening and in the preview image,

  order A (select all)

  then copy

  then paste the better works.

• 3200 Maxtor disk external drive (installed) does not systematically start upward. I get the message "code 10". How can I fix it?

  I did troubleshoot directions, uninstalled and reinstalled.  Also disconnected and re-connected.  Sometimes it works, but not always.

  It is a new problem.

  According to this thread support, the drive doesn't have enough power to start, and sometimes the player not spin up. It seems that, over time, the power supply provided by maxtor, when you bought to deteriorate and no longer provide enough power to the drive. When the player does not have enough power to the adapter, it can try to draw power from the USB. When the player draws too much error, windows it disconnects and gives you the error code. try to find another 12v adapter that matches.

• The battery status icon does not display the symbol of the AC power cord when the laptop is running on the current and recharge

  I have a Compaq presario with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. A few years after an update of Windows, the status of battery in the systray ICON ceased to display the amount of time left on the battery and it stopped display the symbol of the AC power cord when it was being turned off of the AC adapter.  If I remove the battery, then the cord appears.  Put it back in the slot and the rope faints and I have the same shape of rectangle get you if the computer is running on battery only.  Any ideas how I can get the cord to display when AC power feeds the laptop.

  The accumulator is recharged, but there is no busy indication, apart from the height of solid white fill.

  Hi Graeme,

  Thanks again for the update.

  Laptop computer should turn on without the battery when it is connected directly to the power source. As Techgod said it could be a hardware problem, it is possible that the problem is with the battery.

  I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop to get help.

• A 'Powered USB Port' does not work on Mac Mini

  I have an external POWERED USB multiport block. When I plug the Superdrive into a Port powered on the unit, which of course is connected to my Mac Mini (2012) the Superdrive not even she acts as if it is connected and will not accept a disc. All ports are USB 3.0. I'm so uncertain that the Superdrive will work on any USB port other than the one on the Mac itself. Any advice? I El Capitan installed, but it has worked that way before the upgrade.

• AirDrop does not work between Mac mini end of 2014 and 6 s iPhone more

  Hello!

  I'm here for the first time. A little more last year, I bought a Mac mini end of 2014 with Core i5 clocked at 2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 5400 RPM HARD drive. I replaced the HDD for an SSD, Samsung EVO 850 250 GB, to be correct. I also have an iPhone 6 Plus and does not AirDrop between my devices. They discover each other. Update both OS X and iOS on a regular basis, so that's not the problem. Check on this issue and finding a solution a have met this Airdrop is not my Mac mini 2012 and I have a few questions:

  I checked that TRIM Enabler Coulon, but later on my Mac I searched this Samsung EVO can't GARNISH. What it means? Download and install TRIM Enabler would be unnecessary, because the problem isn't here? Everything is fine with the Bluetooth, WiFi, my 6s more connects to the other MacBook Pro Retina early 2015, as the new MacBook 12 "iPads and iPhones, too. Please help me, thank you in advance.

• Scan does not work with Mac Mini Maverick

  Just got a new Mac Mini Maverick.  While the printer (HP Officejet 4500 Wireless) works very well, the scanner does not at all. The installer downloaded the appropriate driver, but the scanner is disabled. Does anyone else have this problem?

  Hello Chata3,

  Welcome to the forums,

  I understand that you are unable to scan from your wireless Officejet 4500 to your Mac with the Mavericks.

  There is no comprehensive driver features available for this model of printer with the Mavericks, which is probably the reason why you are facing this problem. There are, however, bypass the options for you to scan.

  See this link and see under 'How to scan with the Apple Software Update driver'? :

• iPhoto App does not open on Mac Mini

  Cannot open iPhoto on my Mac Mini running OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

  The application on the dock has the reduced/white circle above the icon, as saying: "not available".

  When I click on iPhoto, I get this message: "the version of iPhoto installed on the Mac is not compatible with OS X El Capitan.  Download the latest free version from the Mac App Store. »

  When I try to download the latest version from the Mac App Store, I get this message: "update not available with this Apple ID".  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. »

  I am the original user on this Mac Mini and ID Apple is correct, otherwise it wouldn't have anything to try a download.

  Any suggestion?

  iPhoto is an abandoned product. When you have switched to another Yosemite 10.10.3 or later iPhoto has been replaced by Photos for Mac. You'll find pictures for Mac on your Dock, and yes it will import your iPhotos library. If you need help please navigate to pictures for Mac forum located by clicking on the Photos for Mac

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.
