my external hard drive is no longer appears on vista after using it on a mac, how can I solve this problem?
I tried to update my drivers and everything suggested on the website of the manufacturer of the hard disk
Hello
Check if the drive is detected in disk management. If it is detected, and then assign it a drive letter and check if this solves the problem.
NOTE: first back up all the data on the external hard drive.
To open disk management, follow these steps:
a. click on the ORB start.
b. Type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
Check if you can see the drive.
Refer to this article for more information on how to assign a drive letter to a drive.

I get this message at startup ' 3rd Master Hard Disk:S.M.A.R.T. bad condition. " -What this means and how can I solve this problem?
SMART is a technology on newer computers that allows the computer to monitor the health of hard drives in your computer. Something happened to one of your readers that detects the smart as a problem, and she's trying to warn you proactively to this topic before it fails.
It may be also that you have installed a very old hard drive that does not support the CHIP and the monitor reports that it can not read the drive status.
So depending on your level of knowledge and experience, you can watch to replace the hard disk that is reported, or you can disable SMART followed to make the message disappears. The second option but then means if it is really a failure, it is likely any work stoppage or corrupted so data you do note to solve.

"Recent documents" is no longer the fill - how can I solve this problem?
Hello
a friend was using my laptop while I was away and decided to 'make things better' by installing MS Security Essentials on my existing anti-virus. This and defragmentation, is apparently all that he has done to speed up performance.
However, given that these changes were made to windows is no longer seem to be able to save the recently used documents. The recent Documents folder is present and appears in the start menu. However, no document shortcuts are appearing in the records of recent documents.
In addition both Word and Excel are not updated their own list of files recently used either. The documents, they date before showing changes made to the system and do not reflect the documents used since.
How can I fix? I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition on an HP laptop
Thank you
First check to see if recent Documents is enabled
Right click on the bar tasks - click the Start - Menu tab click on customize - click on the Advanced tab is list my open documents recently checked inside?

Since the 9.1 on my Ipad 2 update my email opens empty screen saying "no message selected. Just click on the mailbox store and select Inbox to display messages. In addition, when appears in the Inbox, trash icon at the top right disappears. Update to 9.2.1 thought to solve this, but it didn't. Have tried reset etc but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?
Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

title says it all. It does not open on autoplay and does not anywhere, but is always works on mac
http://www.Mediafour.com/products/MacDrive
If you want to use the drive to read and save files on both mac & PC I think that you will need create separate partitions on the disk, a formatted for mac and one for the PC.
The utility linked above only allows access to a mac formatted drive and access the data, having never had to use it I don't know if it allows you to save files PC to the mac player
