• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• My new Kindle Fire HD when connected to USB causes files on my external HARD drive to go away, they come back when the Kindle is disconnected and after a reboot, any help please

  If after installation with kindle, connected external HARD drive disappears

  USB ports are usually "matched" in groups, called hubs root.  These root hubs then control and distribute the power to the USB ports.  If any device on one of the two ports, the hub root, requires too much power, the other port loses power.  When a port USB Hub root loses power, the devices connected to the port 'disappears' of the Windows session.  Normally, after you disconnect the devices from the USB port and reconnect them "must" bring these.

  A free USB powered hub can help.  These allow usually additional power over USB ports, on its own USB ports.

• Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

  OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

  My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

  The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

  I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

  After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

• Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini external hard drive not partitioned by Windows 7 PC

  I have a Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini external hard drive that has been formatted to originally a Windows XP computer. I have a new computer that uses the Windows 7 operating system. The drive hard Maxtor are not accessible by the new computer. Although the new computer reconizes the device by its name, the Maxtor Manager window displays the score as 'unknown '. Maxtor/Seagate technical support said that I need to move the files from the old external hard drive Maxtor on a new Seagate, external drive, using a Windows XP computer. Is there another easier way?

  Hello

  The Windows 7 Compatibility Center shows that the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is compatible with Windows 7.
  However, given that it is a product of the 3 part, you go by what the Seagate support said.

• External hard drive not detected in Windows 8

  I just bought a Dell XPS 13, running Windows 8.

  I have two external hard drives from LaCie.

  Disc 1 is used with a Lenovo X120e running Windows 7.

  Disc 2 has two partitions, exclusively for my Macbook Pro running 10.9.5 and the other smaller partition is used to move files between Lenovo and the Macbook.

  When I connect Drive 1 to the XPS 13, nothing happens. It is not turn nor it appears in Device Manager.

  If I turn it on to Lenovo, it works very well.

  When I connect Drive 2 to the XPS 13 (to the same USB port and using the same cable), he turns and is detected.

  If the port is working, pilots work, cable works and Drive 1 works when connected to the Lenovo running Windows 7.

  How can I get the XPS 13 to recognize Drive 1? There must be a way to do this without formatting again.

  Thank you.

  The drive is visible in the BIOS or the mode without failure on the XPS 13?

  You can also try to paginate the connection of the power supply in the drive that works.

• External hard drive is compatible with Windows 7

  I have an older SimpleTech external hard drive.  It does not connect with my most recent computer with Windows 7 on this matter. The error I get, is that there are no drivers.  I need TO get all the items on that hard drive... photos of family for the last 10 years... How can I get it connects so that I can just remove the hard drive and move it to my computer?  Help, please!

  VH

  If it is a USB (USB true) it should work on xp, vista and win 7 because they are retro-compatible.

  If you can not easily find someone with XP and your hardware supports you could run a virtual machine and load XP on it.

  It could also be visible on the Open source OS's like Linux.

• Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive not recognized by Windows 7 64 bit

  It does not appear in Device Manager, and disk management.

  I tried all 8 USB ports on my computer.

  I have it plugged into different outlets (light still on) and tested it on other computers running Vista 32 bit and XP.

  The drive works fine on other computers, but not my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.   Microsoft Compatibility Checker stated that this player should work with Windows 7 64 bit.

  I'd like to get this to work by car.  Any ideas?
