• iMac does not recognize the external speakers

  After working flawlessly for two years, my iMac (running Mavericks) now does not recognize my speakers B & W MM1.  I restarted my iMac, unplugged and reconnected my speakers as well from the electrical outlet and the USB connection, but nothing has worked so far.  All other connections are solid.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Hmmm. These speakers are USB, so they should be relatively problem-free.

  Try to disconnect all your USB devices, restart, and then reconnect the USB devices again. It remaps the USB.

  In addition, make sure the configuration under the system preferences/Sound/output is correct.

• CS3 does not recognize Nikon Raw to Yosemite files

  Since the update to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, CS3 no longer works correctly.

  Instead of thumbnails, Bridge displays icons for the Nikon NEF images. When I click the icon, it says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."

  When I try to open the image directly into Photoshop, I am presented with a window of Options Raw in Photoshop asked me to describe the dimensions of the image. (I don't know how to do anything else guess the size, and when the image opens, it looks like grey noise on an old TV screen).

  I reinstalled CS3, but problems remain.

  Who did the trick.

  I followed the instructions to manually install the plug in Camera Raw 4.6

  Adobe - Photoshop: for Macintosh: Camera Raw 4.6 update

  I had to purge the cache in Bridge, and once I did, the generic thumbnails became good images.

  Thanks again for your help. I'll think twice next time before updating my operating system.

  I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
  For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

  Do you have any idea how to fix?

• Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

  I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

  I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

  She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

  Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

  Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

  Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

• computer does not recognize a dvd in the drive

  Hello

  My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD.  This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.

  Thank you very much

• Vista does not recognize any disk in the disk drive

  Vista crashed when I was loading photos on a cd.  Since then every disc I put in - music, software, data are not recognized, it turns but no program starts automatically.  If I go in via Explore and click the drive the disc turns, then I get the message "Please put in a disc.  Any help gratefully received

  Hello

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Hope these helps.
