• HP Slate 21 cannot detect some of my external hard drives

  Hi all

  I just bought an all-in-one HP Slate 21 PC (Jellybean Android) and it worked very well. However, I have a problem because it does not detect one of my external hard drive when I plug it into the USB plug. My HD model is a Seagate 1 TB Backup more Portable Drive USB 3.0. So I want to ask if the 21 slate is selective in models HD that we could use?

  Second question, I notice that when I sometimes play some movies, that he would play, but with no sound. Is there some video formats that are not supported? We can install the drivers to fix this? Thank you and hoping for some help and clarification with the people here

  Your android slate will not recognize a hard drive that is formatted as NTFS. It will recognize the FAT32 and exFAT formats.

  An external hard drive must be powered externally. Do not expect the micro-USB port to power an external hard drive or an SSD.

  best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive

  If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

  If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

• Run the virtual machine on the SSD or external HARD drive

  Hi all

  For school I need a large number of virtual machines. In total, I have about 140 GB of VM. And with a total of 250 GB of SSD on my macbook pro, which is for many.

  If I want to move my VM on an external hard drive.

  My question is what is the best type of external hard drive that I can get.

  It's a normal with a thunderbolt connection HARD drive or an external hard drive SSD with USB 3.0 connection.

  Who is the fastest, and I see a lot of delay compared to my normal internal drive of the SSD.

  I don't want a disc HARD normal 3.0, it may slow down the VM to a large part.

  Hello

  If you ask a normal hard drive vs SSD then the SSD will win anytime, regardless of the USB3 or love at first sight.

  An SSD using thunderbolt would be preferable, but I don't know if they are easy to find.

  The advantage of having a via USB3 SSD, is that the disc is easy to use also other non-apple machines.

  An SSD in USB3 should work fine however.

  Side note:

  As you have an external connection there is a risk of the drive is disconnected/offline when you use the virtual machine. This can cause whatever it is the corruption of data to have a virtual machine that is completely missing. So if this is going to be your Setup program then make sure to make regular backups of these virtual machines to another disk.

• Save the playlist on external hard drive.

  I would like to be able to export a playlist on an external hard drive, so that all the mp3s in this playlist are grouped in the same order on the hard disk as in the playlist.

  Hello Nomad vagabond,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that you want to export a playlist on an external hard drive and want to keep all the songs in the same order that they were when they were in the iTunes library. I have stopped at my music as well.

  This article contains information on the iTunes library:

  On the iTunes library files

  The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of songs in your library and playlists that you created.

  Thus, songs and playlists will be recorded how you created and you can move them to the external hard drive by following these steps:

  Manage and backup your iTunes library

  Best regards.

• Change the password on external hard drive

  Hi all

  on my iMac 21.5 ", I recently updated my Mac HD internal to El Capitan 10.11.  There are now several major programs (for example MPEG Streamclip and Photoshop elements 11) which worked fine under Yosemite, but are not compatible with El Capitan.

  On an external hard drive, I installed Yosemite 10.10.2 in late 2014 when it was the last version of OS X.  Only, I installed a system on the usual external drive boot on the internal HD failure.  All of these programs (also installed on the external hard drive) work very well in Yosemite.

  When I start on the hard disc to access these programs, I had problems when I need to make changes for which the system requires a user and a password.  I don't remember what they were.  Is it possible to change the password (given that I can identify the user name in the "Users" folder), please?

  Best regards, paulranger1.

  Please open the Startup disk preferences window and select the volume on the external hard disk. You must change this selection on the internal drive after the reset of the password.

  Start in recovery mode. When OS X Utilities window, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

  In the window that opens, type this:

  resetp

  Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

  resetpassword

  Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Close the Terminal window to get him out of the way.

  Select the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is turned on.

  Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

  Follow the prompts to reset the password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9.

  Select

  ▹ Restart 

  in the menu bar.

  You should now be able to login with the new password, but will reset the keychain (empty). If you have forgotten the password for the keychain (which is normally the same as the password for the connection), there is no way to recover it.

• connect the phone to external hard drive wireless

  I have a laptop with Vista and a pc with Windows 7.  We have an external hard drive connected to the pc.  I would like to move my music files from my laptop to the external hard drive and be able to communicate with them wireless.  What should I do to be able to do this? There is a wireless router in the House.

  Hello

  Wire or wireless does not matter for this purpose.

  The drive must be set as a shared device, and then the other computers that are on the same network (wire or wireless) can access.

  Here's how.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  -----------------------------

  Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_type.jpg

  Sharing Configurations.

  Win 7 - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows

  Win 7 network sharing folder specific work - http://www.onecomputerguy.com/windows7/windows7_sharing.htm

  Vista file and printer sharing - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

  -------------

  If you have authorization and security problems, check the followingsettings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not meaneveryone who feel they would like to connect.

  ---------------------

  * Note. Some of the processes described above are made sake not for Windows, but to compensate for different routers and how their firmware works and stores information about computers that are networked.
