I can't put anything on my backup disk! (even if it is still possible)

I tried to save my photos, but I don't want to use time machine, so I can access on Windows computers. Whenever I try to put something in the drive, a sign of block rises and don't let me down in the drive. I am usually able to put it in the drive. I use a backup drive Seagate slim 3.0.

The volume is formatted for Windows, NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively accessible writing in OS X. To write to the volume, you must reformat (erase all content) or install a third party software to enable write access to NTFS. The best cross-platform format is ExFAT.

If you had already installed software to make writable NTFS volumes, the software should be updated or replaced to ensure compatibility with the latest version of Mac OS X.

If you do not need the volume to be readable in Windows, you should back up by copying the files to a different drive, erase it in disk utility with the ability to format for Mac only and then restore the backup data.

    Hi jacshaq

    The error message you received has nothing to do with the game being installed on your hard drive. Move the game on a CD - R won't help. This isn't a problem with the hard drive space, there is a problem with the video memory.

    The error means that your video card installed doesn't have enough video memory to run the game. The only thing you can do to solve this problem is to increase the memory for the installed video card.

    You need to increase the amount of memory allocated to the video card or replace the video card with one that has more memory.

    For more information, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    I hope this helps.

  • I have several folders on my backup drive, and I'm running out of space. Can I delete everything on my backup disk and start over?

    On my backup drive, Isee 'Doug' and 'DougXPS8300' folders and they both contain a large number of files, in addition to "backup of drive c." is redundant?  I ask because I get a messge saying that the backup with 2 TB drive memory does not have enough room for a backup.  Can I just remove ALL on my backup drive, and then tell Windows to start the backup until now, that is by replacing all loaded out there?

    If you get one of the programs that I know well, I see no reason to not just to format this drive of 2 TB and start again.  I know that you will have no problems with Ghost, and I have no reason to believe that you would not have no problem with Easus or Memeo either.

    Good luck.

  • Remove my external backup disk write protection.

    I can't save anything on my backup drive due to an error saying impossible because the disk is write protected. It happened when I updated to windows 7 November last month. Now I can't transfer all files on the disc. Help.
    I read an answer to my problem re regedit's local computer and system control etc. The problem is that I have storage in the registry but not in default extension just to hand right panel and without value. How do I manually write the correct version so I can remove my storage drive write protection.

    I did as you said in regedit as there was no policy of storage device, but it does not remove the write protection. My backup disk is a connected via external usb port. If I turn off the external hard drive and turn it on then I can move or copy folders on disk for a few minutes the write protection turns. It started only with windows 7. In vista, alol was ok re backups. I read on the manual for this player and they don't even mention protection against Scripture. How do I know which drive to remove the register write-protection? I think I solved my problem. I had my backup disk connected to the computer via a usb hub. I changed it to connect directly to the back of the computer and now the backup drive is not protected in writing and I can copy and send the disk to backup with no problems. Thanks for your quick reply

  • I can't remove the time machine backups, I put it in the trash

    My backup disk is almost full, and I want to take on a value of years of backup files until I can get a new backup drive to perform other files that I want to keep. I tried their erasure of the finder inside the time machine, but nothing happened. I sent them to the trash, and they seem to have disappeared from my external backup drive, but are now stuck in the trash. I left the machine running all night to see that it says it cannot remove these files because they are locked. Can you please tell me what I should do now?

    Thank you

    Hello Suzanne,.

    Go to the trash and use "Put" place files back where they belong. Time Machine is designed to remove automatically the old backup when it is full.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Please help - I can't hear anything...

    Dropped the phone, which is normally fine.  Now I can't hear anything and it is not a sound when a text arrives - but people can hear me when I call.

    I've heard that I can reinstall the software to see if it works?  How to do this, or other ideas?

    Thank you for your help.  I miss my phone!

    Hello

    The following help to reload the software, but if its broken internally, it will not provide the solution.

    What I was doing to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before and it printed.

    If your device does not work, perform a backup now if you have not already done save the file to a place and a name that you can easily locate it on computer.

    I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all the other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer, thus eliminating the operating system for the BB to the computer in order to ensure that the version I want to reinstall a new version uploaded.

    Get the latest Desk Top software DTS)
    http://us.BlackBerry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&CP=OTC-DSKTPSW

    and install it on the computer.

    Get the latest version of the operating system

    http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    and save it on computer.

    If the PC does not recognize the BB, you connect via the USB cable. Then remove the battery from the BB.
    With the battery pulled, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector, and as SOON as you see USB - PIN: UNKNOWN, click Next. You must be quick. From there, you can put the battery in (make sure that you install the battery or else when completed the update of the OS and the device disconnects from the computer to restart, it will lose the power supplied by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to start all over again!).

    If you don't get it right the first time, try again (debrancher unplug the USB, remove battery, connect and click next while USB - PIN: unknown shows). You must be quick and the timing is key, so it may take you three or four attempts.

    To erase all data on your BlackBerry device, follow these steps.

    (1) download JL_Cmder http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html

    (2) install JL_Cmder to the computer.

    (3) double check you have already saved the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose all data.

    (4) make sure that DTS is closed and plug in the BB to the computer via USB

    (5) to reach the JL_Cmder on your computer and double-click it to start. Now, it may take a few tries to connect, so persevering until he does.

    (6) on the first screen, press a key to continue.

    (7) now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N".

    8) press 4 to start CLEANING

    (9) press on 'Y' to continue

    (10) now type "blackberry" to continue

    (11) on the BB, you see a white screen with an error "507". Don't worry, that's what you want! You are now ready to install the operating system.

    Launch the new Desk Top software on the computer

    (1) on the homescreen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > update my device.

    (2) click on view the other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.

    (3) click on install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had problems with an application, do not install it.

    Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is finished and restarted the device.

    After 10 minutes, restart again by removing the battery slot while tension and leave for a few minutes.

    Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functional BB!

  • How can I put a shortcut for a private network virtual desktop with a MacBook Air?

    I can't find ANYTHING telling me how to put these types of shortcuts on the desktop for OS X 10.11.4. It is obvious in the Windows.

    Select the item then hold down the command and Option keys while dragging the icon of its location on the desktop, then release the keys. Otherwise, select the element and CTRL - or RIGHT click and select Create an Alias in the context menu. This method creates the alias in the same directory as the actual file. You then can he hang out everywhere where you want it or copy and paste. You can then remove the alias of the original file.

  • Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?

    Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?  I don't wan to upgrade all the way to El Capitan.  Some of my software may not be compatible.

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

    You should have a complete backup of your system before performing an upgrade. Given that, we risk minimum trying to El Capitan before adopting it. Instead of spending $20 on the Mountain Lion, when El Capitan is much higher.

    There are not many apps running in Cougar and El Capitan.

    Just to start with this one:

    I also have Windows for Mac.

    I assume you mean that you run Windows in a virtual machine such as Parallels? If so, the machine virtual peut must be updated.

    When you install Snow Leopard, make sure to choose the option to do a custom install, so you can select the check box for Rosetta, or it will not install and PowerPC applications will not run. Not a huge deal if you miss. The first time you try to run a PPC application if Rosetta has not been installed, OS X offers to download and install it for you.

    Firefox works under Snow Leopard, which is the oldest version of OS X Mozilla always supports. Safari installed with SL will remain grossly outdated and should not be used.

    Nothing will happen to your documents, although I can't say with certainty that all the apps from third party that allows you to open will not be updated. They can. They cannot. For example, Office 2004 will run as long as Rosetta is installed.

    "I used to be able to just everything starts with a double click, the best option would be to come back all the time until it has installed the game or the graphics card drivers? Yes. That would be the best option. Tell your brother that when installing graphics drivers for a HP laptop, always use the provided HP drivers. They are changed by HP.
