• External hard drive USB PX1223E - 1 32 guard disconnection/reconnection

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum, so I hope I'm posting in the right place.

  The external hard drive works fine for over 2 years now, but it has started to randomly disconnect from my PC. I have the USB to say alert that it has disconnected and then moments later it seems to reconnect with the usual USB alert. Occasions, it seems to work for hours without the problem return.

  It is a sign that the reader reaches the end of his life?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Perhaps the reader reaches the end of the life, but at the moment it is not easy to say...

  Have you tried another cable to the HARD drive? Maybe it's just a problem of cable s.
  In addition, you should check the HARD drive on another computer or laptop. So you can make sure if it s a USB issue or not.

• Disconnected (removed) external hard drive still exploring and using drive letter - how to remove?

  Dear community,

  I recently removed an external hard drive of my computer laptop windows 7, I guess it was not not ready to 'remove Saveli' it at that time. The hard drive itself is fine, but the icon remained in windows Explorer because it is disconnected. I manually assigned the drive letter Q on the drive before, and it always appears like that, since this disconnect. When I click on it, there is of course a mistake ("Q is not accessible. "Access denied"). When I plug the hard drive it is listed in another letter (E), the 'Phantom' to Q drive is not affected by it at all.
  It (the ghost drive) does not appear in the computer/disk management manager and I can also not reassign the letter Q on the original hard drive (or any other - is not in the list!).
  I would use the letter Q again to the hard drive (my paths and associations of are consistent) and want to get rid of the ghost car. Any ideas how?
  Thanks in advance,
  Philipp

  FYI
  It's great that the problem corrected itself, but for general reference or other who can run in the ii, how to fix a ' stuck or ghost hand "is to remove its entry in the registry key below and then open a new market or restart.  This problem is relatively rare, but sometimes and still does not resolve itself.
  (Note this drive letter Q is used by Office, click Run and sometimes mysteriously appears for this reason, unlike your situation.)

• Media Player 12 losing library when the external hard drive is disconnected.

  I have all my music from an external hard drive. If the hard disk is on and I have Windows Media Player 12 to scan the drive, he built the library very well. However, I do like to keep this external hard drive on all the time so I must say Media Player to stop monitoring the disk in order to disconnect and power off. The problem is, the next time I reconnect the drive for music, I open the media player and the library has disappeared. I make sure that the reader always connects with the same drive letter, so it can't be the problem. Is it possible to keep all the information in the library when the hard drive is not connected to the pc. I'm sure that I was able to do this with previous versions of media player.

  WMP12 does not store the music files. It stores only the location of the files. If you are using a temporary drive, files disappear when the source goes away. The only solution for this is to put the files on your disk or hard drive connected all the time.

  To store your files on your hard drive in a place where the player plays automatically, go to the icon of (i.e.: C:\users\ ) when the folder opens, there is a folder named My Music. It is one of the files that WMP reads.

  If you don't have room on your hard drive to store all of the music, you can choose a few favorites or turn the music on your hard drive. You can just leave it to refill whenever you connect the WMP player.

• Disconnected external hard drive

  My turn to raid is disconnected-

  I have a raid tower which is now disconnected from my windows network. It has a red X on Z:. I remember what's going on with my old computer (Windows XP), where I was able to reassign a name in the drive to control but with windows 7, I can't find this menu. This drive is part of a home network (small: printer, 2 external hard drives). When the disk is on all lights are green.

  Background

  I have a three year old system, for whom I pray daily. He recently had a USB problem where the keyboard stopped working, replaced by spare part, then put back original and it worked. Then found my printer has been disconnected, you need to reload the driver. So I guess I got a little problem. Also had a problem with updates of windows 8024800a error that your site helped me to overcome (went to mode cmd etc).

  I am a novice at this, but desperate enough to access this drive for a few images that I need for a show.

  Thank you. This site helped me several tight spots.

• 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.

• How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

  How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

  I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

  HI Thomas,

  Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

  I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.

• 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.

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

• Can I use a time capsule airport as my external hard drive?

  I have all the products in my house, 5 iPhones apple, 2 MacBooks, an iPad and an apple tv Setup.

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router? If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better? If anyone could break it down into secular terms and highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages , I'd greatly appreciate it.

  
  

  (If your wondering I use my Macbook to store a LOT of music, photos, and surf the internet).

  Purchase of a disk external drive for my Macbook Pro is on the top of my to do list, I currently don't have 15 GB of free storage. I know that's not enough space for the computer to function properly. I definitely don't want what I just bought in March. Im trying to learn more about this kind of thing would have made very different when buying my Macbook if I could go back to March.I would be easily paid for the 256 GB of flash storage and would have probably just waited to buy it at all, until the so-called new macbook arrives soon.

  Once again thank you to all those who can help you!

  Mr.705

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  Although the Capsule is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with Time Machine for backups, it can be used as a network drive for file storage.

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router?

  He does. In simple terms, you can think of the time Capsule as a wireless router with an Ethernet switch and HDD.

  If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better?

  Not really. Your Apple products are designed to work with routers wireless of any manufacturer, not only those provided by Apple. However, Apple routers are simple to implement and the application to administer is available on both the Mac and iOS devices. There is a version that works on Windows PCs, but is currently outdated and does not support to administer the current base station 802.11ac airport.

• Connect an external hard drive to an iPod?

  I have an external hard drive Free Agent for my computer, y at - it a cord that I can buy that I can plug my iPod so that I can play music/movies from my external hard drive to the iPod?

  No, there are no cords.  There are devices available "HD" including wifi and with the application provided by the manufacturer of the drive, you can access and save files/media to the engine and the iPod.  The iPod is to use the application given that native apps of the iPod can not access the device.

  This is such a device

• External hard drive will not eject

  As I encrypted my external hard drive, it does not stop running after I press eject. He disappears from the sidebar in the Finder, but it does not stop running. I deleted and connected it several times and the same thing happens every time. It can be dangerous to drive or is it OK to remove it even if it is still ongoing? Is there anyway to solve this problem so that he stops running when the ejection? Or is there an another way to delete if eject does not work? I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5.

  One that you eject the disc and it disappears from the Finder, it's OK to disconnect/manually turn off the external drive.

• Seagate 2 TB external hard drive does not register

  I almost always took care to disconnect the drive safely, and continued to work well when he is accidentally unplugged (only happened 3 - 4 times). Today he did not appear in the office or in the finder, the responses in this thread, external HARD drive Seagate will appear not in place were a little helpful but did not fix my problem. Here are some of the facts of the case, somehow:

  • I use a 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with a 1 TB hard drive (this was added later when the original drive has failed)
  • External hard disk was used to transfer large files a bit to a laptop running Windows 8 and was not ejected safely from this computer
  • The reader is displayed correctly on other MacBooks (tested today) and all files are in order.
  • The drive appears in the report of the system but does not appear in the disk utility.
  • The drive does not appear in the Seagate dashboard that was installed when the car was purchased.
  • The drive has two partitions: one for Time Machine and the other to the format to work on Mac and Windows to store normal files.
  • My MacBook has been impossible to open a .dmg file today, unconnected with. I do not have this issue.

  I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!
