my external optical drive from shintaro has stopped working

I have an optical drive external shintaro who has well functioned at the start and just

Suddenly abandoned. Now, he's just rattling noises. Is there something

Can I do?

Is - this external hard drive (smaller) type that is getting power from the USB port of the iMac?  What is bigger, with its own power supply?

Have you tried unplugged power (to completely disable)?  You stop the iMac also (power OFF).  Disconnect all the USB devices, with the exception of the standard USB keyboard and mouse (if used).  The iMac power and connect the optical drive se, to a USB direct on the iMac.  If a port does not work, try a different port.  If you have more than one USB cable, try another, to exclude the defective cable.  If the optical drive is USB 3.0, make sure that the cable you are trying is also assessed for USB 3.0 (not an older USB 2.0 cable).

  • Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

    I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

    Thank you!

    (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

    It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

    If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.

  • WD external drive - "internet explore has stopped working".

    Hello

    I have a WD external drive.  I bought it 2-3 years ago and it works perfectly until a few months ago.  My computer is using Windows Vista.  The problem is that, although the external drive is detected when I open a pop up window appears indicating that Windows Explorer has stopped working. Then the window closes. I tried to update the software, I have uninstalled and installed back but the same problem still exists.
    Anyone know what I can do?
    Thanks in advance

    Check the drive on another computer, if the problem is the same, try using another cable or hard drive case. If this is not the case, see the link below, if it helps:

  • Driver Realtek audio has stopped working on my Satellite A100

    The Realtek audio driver I downloaded from this site for WinXp (V R 1.54) stopped working after an intervention apparently of another driver. The failure of any attempt to uninstall. This is a very stubborn driver and can t be eliminated completely from the computer. WinXp pro doesn't have a sound for this computer (Sat 100-787) driver and I can't reinstall the same driver. Yellow (i) continues to show in the Device Manager.

    What can we do about this and is there a better driver for my computer?

    As already mentioned in your thread at the beginning, you need to install the Microsoft service pack 2!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=102308#102308

    After installing SP2, you must upgrade the XP to the last State! Use the MS Update site! Very important are the fixes KB888111 and KB835221!

    After the updated operating system you must install the latest audio driver from the Web to Realtek site, or from the Toshiba site!
    Please note that you must also update the BIOS to the XP version if you use XP on this laptop Vista.

    A note: the A100-787 belongs to the series PSAANE; Choose the right drivers!

    Hello

    Control Panel - Device Manager - Sound - double click click - driver - drivers Updates tab (this cannot
    anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - UNINSTALL - REBOOT it will refresh the
    driver stack.

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver Audio/high fidelity for your Vista 64 bit system.
    (Note the version)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Check in the Device Manager - Sound - double-click on the driver tab - to be sure of the version that you have performed is installed
    too often, these will be rollback until this finally installed the current - then check if it is the right one and then run driver
    -reboot - check - repeat as needed.

    I hope this helps.

  • Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

    Hi all

    (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

    We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

    We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

    I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

    Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

    TIA

    See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 , you may need to disable email scanning in AVAST or uninstall it and then delete your email account, compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) then add your return email account again.  WinMail has quite a few quirks and sometimes it appears one needs to remove the account to solve the problems.

  • Bridge "get photos from camera" has stopped working and bridge no longer recognize my DNG files

    , I've got bridge set up to get the pics off mem.card whenever I have insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed PlayMemories from Sony. Without asking he hijacked the task of the bridge to get photos of my cards. What's worse, I tried to start the function "get photos from camera" manually from the deck. Bridge started working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset the bridge, said to my laptop to run bridge as soon as I insert a card. Still nothing is happening and I still can't get the function "get photos" to run manually from the bridge. In any case, I can still rund the DNG Converter to get my photos, but today Bridge does not recognize my files DNG - a well brought yesterday. CS6 downloaded from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html and tried to run the Setup program, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I should do a full uninstall off CS6 for her to do something... ?  Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my problems of bridge/CS6, I would be grateful.  I have 3 sets of photos together and a shoot of comp. of snowboarding I have to finish this week

    Good point.

    Bridge was not integrated with CS6 to CC? I have a following if, uninstall/reinstall only for laughs.

  • External hard drive has stopped working.

    I have a 500 GB WD external hard drive book that has stop working. He is no more, but I know that it is always powered because I can see that the lights are still coming when I plug in the power cord inside. No one knows anyway I can get access to the drive so that I can get my data on the disk. It was about 80% full and I was trying to take data out of the car so that I could make cleaner. It was not terribly fragmented, but I need to take some of the data out of the car that's why I was burning there CD so that I could do when he leaves. Now I can't access the drive at all. Does anyone know of a way I can access the drive so I can get my data?

    The only thing I've heard to try and get a non-filature spinning disk long enough to get the data off the drive is to put the drive in the freezer, let cool completely, and then quickly remove it and try to make it work.  Sometimes this will release bearings long enough to allow him to run for a few minutes before it warms so that you can get the data.  No guarantees, of course.

    Good luck

    Resolve the problem by uninstalling intellipoint a synaptics driver software in Add Remove programs. There is an incompatibility between these two software.

    After you remove the software I installed the latest version of the Synaptics touchpad driver I installed direct driver update the Device Manager files extracted from Lenovo Touchpad Synaptics file 89te11ww\Synaptics\WinWDF\x64 and 64-bit Microsoft Intellipoint

  • HP CSI Shell has stopped working - cannot install the printer driver

    I just bought a printer LaserJet MFP M127fw Pro, but the installation of the pilot program still crashes. I tried 3 different modes of driver installation: the installation CD install HP Smart (USB) and download online, but I keep getting the same error.

    10-15 seconds after I start the driver installation, a pop-up Windows appears, advising me that:
    "HP CSI Shell has stopped working".

    I called HP customer care and they post in the computer section of the Support Forums.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    I have a HP Media Center PC with Windows 7 64 bit.

    Update:

    I tried the feature "Add a printer" windows default in Control Panel, and my printer is finally functional - only when used wireless. However, if I connect the USB cable from my printer, it will be recognized as a different printer and always unsuccessfully installed the drivers for it.

    If it works wirelessly, it is good enough for me.

  • Toshiba 320 GB external USB HDD has stopped working

    Hello

    Recently this evening my external hard drive has stopped working. I can start it and the blue light shows, but it seems that the arm of reading or the mechanical part is stuck or does not start. It has a very low and repetitive clicking noise.
    Before I used to get a strong enough * Click * when starting and now nothing. Nothing does load in windows either, and remains undetected.

    I thought that I could send to repair if it's arm which is broken or needs other than tighteneing as, it's a pretty desperate situation that recently, I cleaned my computer and used the external hard drive as back up, with all of my work for the last 8 years on this subject...

    And I can't afford a recovery of data of 300 books, either.

    null

    Possibly the HARD drive died completely. I mean it might be possible that a head crash could cause this problem.
    My HARD drive died in the past, it was a laptop internal, HDD, and before that the HARD drive is dead, I noticed a strange rattling noise.
    After a restart the laptop the drive HARD was not accessible
    Well, HARD disk crash is not an uncommon problem and it always happens
    So, in most cases, it s also should back up the data twice. That is to say: on DVD, CD, etc.
