I am more able to transfer files to my ext hdd

I have resorted to an ext hdd (Samsung) with my windows vista laptop for over a year with no problems at all, now all of a sudden I am unable to cut /paste, copy / paste or drag. A 750 MB file takes 20 minutes and is unusable when it finally comes. I'm still able to open all of my existing files I have on the ext hdd, without problem, but can't copy the new files to it. Help!

On any computer?  (Try another computer.)

It could be that the external hard drive is going bad.  Have you tried to use your backup copies of the files on the drive / another drive on the same computer?

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products on machines do you have? Be one you have NEVER
    had on them, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Some of them can cause network problems and sometimes you need to uninstall one instead of just disable
    be able to catch him as the primary cause.

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

    Check with your router manufacturer's online help (most have excellent help) and their firmware on your router
    model - also check with their forums for possible known problems.

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

    Most of these problems is associated parameters and driver. Be careful with trailing spaces when you enter in the
    data. XXXX and xxxx_ are not the same (where the '_' represents a trailing space which is invisible). The best
    way you ensure to remove the spaces to the right is to enter data and then go back up to the last character. See #5
    below.

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

    Follow these steps for all machines:

    It's my generic instructions for the correct driver updates: (you want mainly to update NETWORK and WiFi card drivers).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Hello

    This cable will not work. You need a USB OTG cable such as:

    If your photos are in a folder

    1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
    2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
    3. Click on apply.

    You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

But USB installed in drive E, Ive tried to do a shortcut for on mmy desktop USB and drag files into it, but it gives a red circle with a line through it, indicating that it is impossible. Please help me understand what to do!

    Hi mrsstacysmith,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. As you are not able to transfer data in USB drives, try these methods and check:

    Method 1:

    To verify that USB is causing the problem, try connecting a single USB key and then try to transfer the files from the computer and check if it works.

    Once you get the confirmation, try to connect to the second USB and try to transfer the files from the computer and check.

    If the second USB shows the same error as mentioned try connecting to another USB port and check.

    Method 2:

    Check if USB drives are detected in the Device Manager.

    a. click Start, Type Device Manager in the search box start and click on enter.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers and check if the device is detected.

    c. double-click the device and check if the device status says device is working properly.

    Also check if the USB drive is detected in disk management.

    a. click on Start, Type diskmgmt.msc in the start search box and click on enter.

    b. check if the USB is detected as a drive.

  • If I change the Dreamweaver CC I'll be able to transfer the any of my old site, made in Dreamweaver CS3?

    Hello

    Site requiring obviously much update and work to implement the mode of 2016.

    She was made long ago in CS3 and has been updated with this software existing so far.

    New computer on the way - the time to use Dreamweaver CC maybe.

    Site not used for sales, so the pages are very well and has taken years of work and photography.

    -I will be able to transfer site in CC after installation and still have my old pages to work - while gradually working on the layout of 'fluid' etc.?

    Thanks for your advice

    Viv

    HTM is just html, no matter what version of DW can see your actual files.

    Your settings are what you bring through a .ste file. To do this, go to Site > Manage Sites > site of your choice-click > export from your old DW. Then, in your new version, go to Site > Manage Sites > import to bring the .ste file and settings of the location in the newer version.

    If you go to your local files to a new machine, you can copy the file from one hard drive to another site, or you can copy the .ste file, and then import it on the new machine. It will be blank until you connect via FTP, then click on the GET (down arrow) to download the entire site to your server.

    Among the main issues you may have with the new versions of DW and your old code, would be the use of Spry in the old site. Which has been completely removed from the program. You will not have dialog boxes to change this old code and not everything has been replaced with Jquery in the latest versions.

    For what it's worth, you can keep the DWCS3 and the latest CC versions installed on the same computer, in which case you need to go back and work on the points which have been removed, until you get updated with more modern encoding anyway methods.

    You can download this PL/SQL package to FTP in PL/SQL. It is old, but still needs to do the job. Do not forget that in 11g, an ACL must be created to allow the code to access the network.

  • After the update to El Capitan 10.11.6 I'm more able to use Excel

    I've updated a Mac Air to version 10.11.6. After the upgrade I'm more able to delete rows in Excel. The error is "Alert not enough memory" file is only 4.7 MB and air shows that I have 1 GB free memory. Is this a bug, and if so is there a work around available? I came to a standstill. worked quite happily on the sheet before the upgrade

    Try to reinstall the update by using this file: Download OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Combo Update. It can solve the problem, but if it is not the case, then you must reinstall OS X. It is not a bug in Excel because I did not have such a problem arise on my system. However, an alert memory you reported is an OS X error alert that you have not enough memory to continue. Quit all other open applications to free up more memory. See if that helps. Also make sure that report is not disk space.

  • How can I transfer files of e-mail from my mac pro to my mac air

    Hi all someone can help me ive been trying to transfer files from my Macbook Pro to my Macbook Air e-mail, I have tried dragging to usb sticks, nothing seems to work any help would be appreciated cheers

    Hi Dizzycrow,

    I understand that you want to move some folders of email to your MacBook Pro to your MacBook Air. I know it's important to have control over your data, so I'm happy to provide assistance with this.

    The best way to transfer multiple files between devices is often through the Migration Wizard. That being said, this feature can roll over more files that you want to. You can read more here:

    Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support

    For transfer only your email address, it may be better to export your mailboxes from your MacBook Pro, so that you can import to your MacBook Air. You can see how to do this here:

    Address postal (El Capitan): import or export the mailboxes

    Thank you for using communities of Apple support and have a great rest of your day. See you soon!

  • Unable to transfer files of OutlookExp in Mac TB - WinXP OutExp to WinXP TB24.4 good migration; but Mac TB24.4 has no import options or profile replacemen

    Moving to Thunderbird - I am trying to eliminate my use of WinXP and migrate fully to Mac OSX. I have successfully transferred my many files of dbx (total 3.65 GB of messages) from Outlook Express in TB24.4.0 (such as files with null, msf and sbd) when Outlook and XP TB reside on the same virtual XP (Parallels) from my Mac machine. When I try to fill TB in the side Mac OS10.8.5 with the files, I can't. Tools > import there is no option for Outlook files, just Apple & Eudora mail. Of in Mac TB, I am able to locate the location of the profile (Tools > Configuration Acct > local folders), but in the Finder, it seems not - is hidden. Therefore, neither of these approaches allow import of my emails or the replacement of the current records with my emails. In my first step, I was able to transfer the .wab file Mac address using import to tuberculosis. No luck since. Advice is appreciated.

    I'm glad that you guessed it, to work, but just to clarify, to transfer the entire Thunderbird folder, rather than just the profile subfolder, is suggested because it makes useless edit profiles.ini.

    Move from one OS to another way some preferences in the profile will not properly transfer as an attachment for the opening of applications, but the repair for this is to remove mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder and let the TB to create a new empty version. The correct preferences will be set the first time you open attachments.
