  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

  • USB Mass Storage Device problem

    I have the HP Pavilion Elite E9120f desktop computer. Whenever I start the computer, it shows that I have USB mass storage drives, G, H, I and J. However, there is no attached USB mass storage device. No one knows why this happens? I just usually click on the removal of the safety equipment and remove false devices. I get the message "this device can now be deleted without the computer problem. This machine runs Vista and has a 1 terabyte of hard drive. Thank you

    Bart, have you checked in 'My Computer' when this happens to see if the drives are there?  Almost looks like you have a virtual drive on your computer program.  Check also in start/startup to see if he is there that nothing listed that could cause this to happen.  Four readers Ghost is really strange.

  • HP Envy D410a computer sleep and offline wireless OSX problem

    Hello

    I'm new but I searched on this forum as well as the apple support forum to get answers.  The problem, I tried to correct is limited to the Wireless business.   I'm under 10.6.7 OSX and Windows 7 64-bit.  Now I can constantly reproduce the problem of the printer goes offline on a Mac, but the D410a works perfectly with Windows 7 64 bit.  I can stop the windows computer or put it to sleep and to restore power or he wake D410a functions perfectly.

    When I put my Mac to sleep then wake him up, I lose the connection to the D410a.  Specifically, I'm trying to print or scan him unsuccessfully using "Preview", the HP Scan 3 utility, as well as the location of Print & Fax that allows you access to the parser.  Try several suggestions throughout these forums, I was able to partially address the problem. I read on the issue of the "Energy Saving" being a problem feature.  I tried power saving setting in the options "after 5 minutes of inactivity" and "after 15 minutes of inactivity'.  But the problem seems to come from the Mac.

    I put my IP on the D410a address to an IP address outside DHCP (static IP).   I fiddled with the configuration of the router, ensure that the printer signal is strong, or that the router is to remember its location.  I played a bit with port forwarding, (don't know what I was really doing). I have checked the firewall settings on the Mac, and they turned off the coast.

    Now as I said earlier, the only way I can get the D410a to respond to any request of Mac such as printing or scanning wireless. is either entering in my router (Dlink DIR - 655-cutting) and make some changes and save the settings.  I guess that's somehow resets the D410a and becomes available on my Mac.  The other way I can 'Reset printer' is on the print server and playing with a few features.  Specifically, I changed the gateway to 0.0.0.0 and the printer printed what was on the qeue.  After having put the Mac to sleep he lost the connection.  I changed the gateway to 192.168.2.1 and the printer and the scanner have been "reset".  Finally, it loses the connection to the Mac.

    Please, help me with smoothing this mess.  I like to use Windows, but there are things on my Mac that require the use of the D410a.  Have work would improve my workflow.  I just got this printer today and I'd rather not go through the hassle to return because I bought this printer for its quality of size and compact construction.

    ... I forgot to mention that I tried to completely reinstall the software.  I also tried an installation of the drivers in a specific order.  1 uninstall the HP drivers > restart Mac > add printer drivers and install Apple HP > download full HP drivers from the website and install.

    Check if your router multicast/IGMP proxy and transmission to enable them if they are not. They mess with re-discovery service of HP I think.

  • Renaming files on OSX problem

    I hope someone can help me with this problem fairly quickly. It seems to be pretty simple, just that I'm missing something fundamental here.

    Here is my code to iterate through some layers (in the to lyrs), dupe the document, filling in the active layer and save as PNG.

    // Hide all layers, then loop thru them, trim/crop and save to disk
    for (var i in lyrs){
    
    
        // Set active layer and duplicate doc
        activeDocument.activeLayer = lyrs[i];
        activeDocument.duplicate();
    
    
        // Turn on layer/set visibility
        activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
        if (activeDocument.activeLayer.parent != activeDocument){
            activeDocument.activeLayer.parent.visible = true;
        }
    
    
        // Trim to layer bounds, export file, close duped doc, etc...
        activeDocument.trim(TrimType.TRANSPARENT, true, true, true, true);
        file = File( filePath + "//temp.png" ); // setting temp name
        activeDocument.exportDocument( new File(file), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, pngOptions );
        activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    
    
        // Fix path if last character isn't a front or backslash
        if ( !((filePath.match(/.$/) == "/") || (filePath.match(/.$/) == "\\")) ){
            filePath = filePath += "\\";
        }
    
    
        // Two errors here!
        // Windows: File.rename() doesn't overwrite existing file
        // OSX: File.rename() doesn't take place at all - so for each iteration in the loop we only write out the temp file
        alert("2) renaming: \n" + file + "\nTO:\n" + filePath + lyrs[i].name + ".png"); // Confirms correct paths!
        file.rename(filePath + lyrs[i].name + ".png"); // Avoids the hyphens -error with Safe for Web
    
    
        activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
    }
    

    The problem is when I try to rename. OSX happens, even if the paths seem to be right (I checked with alerts) and I do not understand why that this code works very well under Windows.
    The second question that I spotted at least windows (prob even on OSX) is that File.rename () does not work if the file already exists. Y at - there no flag without papers or something that can allow him to do? Or do I have to check for the file and delete it manually? (does not seem necessary!)

    Help is appreciated!

    A problem has been resolved:
    File.Rename () works differently on OSX - you must provide the name of the file ONLY. Provide a complete path will not work.

    Number two still needs fixing. I still have the problem with rename() works only if the file exists.

  • ESXi 5 storage connectivity problems

    When I was setting up our infrastructure to vsphere 2 years ago I did everything according to the "best practices" (Netapp, VMWare and Cisco).

    I had 2 4.0 hosts and I implemented the storage network (NFS and iSCSI) as an EtherChannel on one side of the switch Cisco and active NIC and IP HASH in a side ESXi load balancing.

    Now, I just added 2 more than 5.0 hosts, reclassified vCenter to 5 and wanted to set up the new host for storage, but that is the problem.

    Somehow ESXi5 let me use exactly the same configuration, I can't have 2 active adapters on both ESX and for this reason, I can't use hash IP in this vSwitch load balancing.

    So, how am I suppose to add Stoarge to the new ESXi5?

    EtherChannel is no supported network storage more on ESXi5?

    If I have to stop using EtherChannel on the CISCO site that will break my conection of storage for the two production hosts ESXi 4.

    Any input appreciated.

    Thank you

    Add maps via the iSCSI GUI software is ports VMKernel will link individual (and usually multiple) of a single software iSCSI initiator.  "It's the GUI version of ' esxcli swiscsi nic add n d .

    To configure this for vSphere 5, VMkernel port NIC grouping settings must be configured as described in the error.

    If you choose to not explicitly link VMkernel ports the software initiator, let the empty Network Configuration tab, and the VMkernel routing table automatically chooses an appropriate VMKernel port to connect.  According to your description, this is how your environment vSphere 4 is set up.

  • Isolate storage performance problems

    I'm looking for the most effective strategy to isolate a possible performance problem and to determine if storage is the cause.  VMware said that this physical device read latency and physical device write latency must be sheer 20ms lower and 10 ms on average.  I see peripheral physics average 11 percent read latency and write the average latency on some HBAs.  I see 120ms peak read latency and 240ms latency of writing on some HBAs.

    Suppose I want to isolate this issue - how to efficiently determine if these measures indicate the storage as the cause of the poor performance of the application?  (For example, storage VMotion virtual machine which is own LUN with no other VM and see if there is a difference in performance - something that does not require a lot of time).

    Migrate the virtual computer on a local storage on one of your hosts to see if latency goes away. Then you know almost for some it's a problem on the ESX Server or on the fabric. My bet is that it is on the fabric. Run perfstats on table and you will most likely find that you are maxing out the SECOND battery on the diskgroup to support for the LUN that you write to.

  • Laptop HP Pavilion: mass storage device problems

    I have a 1 TB mypassport mass storage device connected to the computer.  When I access the camera or only 32 MB of storage is displayed. You go to properties and looks like it is partitioned and do not show the capacity of all of the device I'm so lost

    I discovered what had happened. I had put off the hard for the recovery of the system and, in so doing, so blocked 32 MB disk and the rest was just let go. I had to go back and assign a new drive for the rest of the unused portion. I always learn something... Thank you all.

  • OSX problem

    I just finished to install El Capitan on my Snow Leopard which, except exorbitant time (taken on a House to install) and seems to be up and running, still have to load some up-to-date applications and data buku files.

    My problem is that when I return to 10.8, I can bring more to the top of my applications that shouldn't have affected by installation of El Capitan because they are on a completely different hard drive. In particular, I tried to set up a file on an old Zip (250 MB) drive which, until yesterday, come clean. After trying several times, I tried to open the Pages and if it is marked as open, nothing anyone present at the screen. I have not checked it with other applications, but they suspect they will be similar, if not identical.

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

    When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.


  • USB mass storage device problems

    In recent weeks, I was unable to read the files on an SD card and a USB key.  For both the SD card and thumb drive, a pop-up message says the card is not formatted and asks me if I want to format it.  Both drives work fine in another computer Windows XP and a Vista computer, are formatted and data on them.

  • Sharing USB storage device problems: EA4500

    Share questions, I just run my USB connected hard drive via UPNP, SMB and FTP.  Neither option seems to work, except for FTP when I allow anonymous access.

    I can't access my files via FTP using OS X Lion mountain.  I have FTP access and use the administrator account to access the location.  When I turn on the media server, none of my DLNA/UPNP devices are able to connect to or even discover the EA4500.  Don't know what is happening here.  This is a brand new EA4500.  Devices on my home network can see the multimedia servers set up with serviio running on a PC with no problems.

    In addition, access SMB does not work either.  I am unable to connect to my Mac via SMB sharing.  Haven't tried with a PC.

    I'll try to update to the latest firmware.

    Personally, I didn't have much luck finding classic firmware sharing stuff immediately.  I have advanced and set up all the stuff of sharing on the firmware of cloud.  2.0.37 classic firmware works, it takes just a while to understand.  The cloud is much easier.

    Here's a good page where you can update to the classic firmware newer or firmware of clouds.  It is under the downloads tab.

    Edit: I think that you can update the firmware automatically from the router.  You don't need to do it manually.
