• PowerMac Pro doesn't recognize the MacBook Pro in target disk mode

  I'm trying to restore a disk from MacBook Pro from a backup, but my PowerMac Pro does not seem to recognize the MacBook Pro in target disk mode.  I have a FireWire 800 cable and adapter to the thunderbolt FireWire 800 port.  Is there something more I should do to get the Mac Pro power to recognize the MacBook Pro in disc mode target like an external hard drive?

  There is no "Power Mac Pro;" are you referring to a Power Mac (which would be less than 11 years), or a Mac Pro? You try to migrate data from the MacBook Pro to another Mac, or vice versa?

• Cannot start normally after target disk Mode

  I received a 'new' 2015 documents transferring manually, Macbook Pro and I am. media and other elements of my Macbook Air from mid-2012. I put my MBA in disc Mode target to easily transfer files via Thunderbolt, but now I can't start my MBA normally - it's booting into OSX utility. I tried to close a few times, I tried to go up while pressing Option, nothing seems to work. [I am able, start-up by pressing T, to back up in target disk Mode.]

  Am I missing something? How can I get my MBA operate again as a normal computer? Thank you.

  Is it possible that you moved * elements of the MBA to MBP instead of copy them? When one of these "other elements" outside your user folder?

  * This means: hold the command key while dragging.

• Check out the Photos (target disk mode) files

  Unfortunately, it seems that my iMac is damaged and I am in the middle of the tent back up all my files. The iMac won't boot to the top, and it looks like it might be a problem with the graphics card or the logic board. I can access Mode without failure, but it's pretty unusable due to the fragmented picture and lines on the screen. However, I was able to use the iMac with "Target disk Mode" for use as a hard disk.

  So, as I can not open the Photos app I was wondering how I can recover the files it contains? If I copy my file from the library on another computer I will be able to use / access that previous files I had saved in Photos? My understanding is that the files are stored somewhere in the library? I do not use iCloud!

  Most of the things I want to back up are in the files that I can just slide through a macbook via firewire, but I worry about what the other files I might lose (what I forget). Pictures is the only app I can think where are stored the files differently I use however.

  It would be great if someone can help with this, thanks in advance

  Usually Yes

  The best solution is to restore you last backup to another computer, since it is a full disc and not affected by problems with your main computer - this is why you should always have a good current backup

  If for some reason that doesn't work then just drag the photo library to the other computer and save it to the top of there

  Extract the files is a last resort because you lose everything except the original photos - all editing, any organization, etc - your original photos are in the folder of the masters in the photo library

• I want to connect an iMac 2009 end to a 5K iMac using target disk mode. I have several related questions.

  The display on my 2009 iMac has stopped working two years ago and I replaced the machine with an iMac of 5 K. At the time I realized that it was not possible to connect the two machines in disc mode target but today I heard the Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter and started to pursue the investigation.

  The hard drive on the iMac 2009 has worked when I he turned on last 2 years ago, but I couldn't see stripped lines colored screen.

  1. is it possible to restore a Bluetooth for the keyboard and mouse when I don't see what is happening? (I removed a long time ago the batteries to store them.)

  2 do I need to use a mouse and a keyboard on the older iMac if all I want to do file transfer between two iMacs using the 5 K as the master of the machine? I expect that the answer is yes because I need to hold down the T key as I start the older iMac in order to Target mode, but could someone confirm it's inevitable? (Where Q1.)

  3 others managed to make the connection in similar circumstances, with a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter? Is it that I have to be wary?

  Thank you.

  Will of Percy

  Will,

  Unfortunately the target Display Mode will not work with iMacs Retina display. Apple will explain TDM and which machines, it is compatible with the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

  In addition, he will explain what wiring is necessary.

• iMac 27 "retina (end of 2015) with target disk Mode Macbook Pro?

  Hello

  I am interested in buying an iMac 27 "5 k retina (end of 2015) my household has also two early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, which are still in use.

  I understand that this iMac no longer manages the target Display Mode. As I am unable to use the iMac as an external display for my Macbook, would it be possible instead, connect via Thunderbolt, a Macbook to the iMac, and access only to files hang when necessary?

  If this can complicate things, I am limited as to how I can custom configure how to buy the iMac 27 "(je serais d'acheter la base 27" iMac, avec 1 to de disque DUR). " I also intend on buying an external SSD that I would use to run/start the iMac, using the drive HARD internal to the iMac as ' dedicated local storage'otential

  EDIT: Would there be potential problems? I would be able to access just like I would if I say it, hooked to a USB key? If I was working on the files, I need to import them to the iMac or be able to work directly from the drive?

  Yes.

• Target Disk Mode - MacBook is not mounted in the desktop iMac

  I have a MacBook to 2015 and a cable USB-A-USB-C marked 'SS '.  In November 2015, I might start my MacBook in TDM and plug it into my iMac 2013 and see him mount on the desktop.  I could then synchronize some of the files (using synchronize folders) and have up-to-date on my MacBook.  Both computers running El Capitan.

  But about 3 months ago this system has stopped working.  Editing of my MacBook on the desktop iMac became sporadic and now never happens.  I have tried different cables, connected to different USB ports (the back of the iMac, iMac keyboard and a Flash to USB dock (Belkin)), but no joy.

  Has updated the firmware of computers?  El Capitan has stopped this feature very useful to work?

  Any ideas, anyone?

  Chris

  As a work-around, there are other ways of synchronization of files between devices.

  iCloud Drive, Box, OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive. These will make everything you do.

• After disconnecting the target disk mode - to reset the password?

  After unplugging my MacBook Pro to my second MacBook Pro, I can not connect to my first MacBook Pro.

  After a long start, delayed, I get a Mac OS X dialog 'Reset password'.

  Why? What should I do?

  

  Because I did NOT forget my password, I chose the third alternative 'my keyboard does not when entering my password to login'. Then, I asked my password to turn off FileVault. My password has been accepted and I could connect.

  Now, it seems that FileVault began to decrypt my SSD. Why? I need not decrypt.

  How to?

• Today my Macbook Pro could not start.  He showed me the ban or no symbol.  I was able to access disk utility and run first aid on the SM0256G of SSD Apple media successfully.  Cannot start in normal/safe mode.  Should I delete/install so I can?

  MacBook Pro 13 '' end 2015.  256 GB SSD drive. El Capitan last version 10.11.4. I turned on the Macbook Pro and it could not start.  The progress bar with the Apple Logo would be present but would end not showing the symbol «»  I tried to boot mode safe - no go.  I have not reset PRAM help.  I was able to access disk utility and run successfully the first aid. No help. I was unable to restore two separate backup.  The utility show me backups however when I would go to the next screen and no backup is available.  Disk utility displays the SSD.  Can I erase the disc and download OS X install?  Thank you.

  At this point, there is no need to delete. A new copy of Mac OS X can be installed directly over the old copy. This process replaces the components of Mac OS X on a file by file basis and adds missing ones, there will be no major throwing away what anyone, unless there is a power failure.

  You have already run disk first aid.

  Now use mode of recovery (command + R to start) to "Re-install Mac OS X. It should install the latest revision of the main version that you ran last.

• In a wreath of two screens Thunderbolt, I could replace the first display with a (for example) 2012 iMac and use target Display Mode to power the two?

  My Thunderbolt screens have the possibility to be connected in Garland and get their signal on a single cable Thunderbolt, an iMac in target Display Mode should not also have this capability? Is an iMac in target Display Mode capable of simulating a Thunderbolt Display not only to get a video for himself but also for a Thunderbolt Display is connected?

  I've heard tell that some people used their iMac screen target with the target Display Mode while the iMac has been connected to another monitor (not a Thunderbolt Display).

  The result was that internal display of the iMac switched on the target Display Mode, but doesn't have the monitor connected.

  I haven't found someone who has tried this and published his experience with a Thunderbolt Display connected to the iMac.

  Unfortunately, a little more research would have responded and answered my question.

  Yes, I can replace one of the Thunderbolt screens in the chain with an iMac. Replaced screen should be one that is not directly connected to the mac of the source.

• Qosmio F60-136: Impossible to disable the USB sleep-and-Charge in hibernation mode

  USB sleep-and-Charge function is marked as disabled in BIOS (v2.70).
  This can be checked with Sleep Utility (v1.4.1.5) where the function also seems to be disabled.
  During the stop of my laptop, smart phone or the stop MP3 player to charge.
  Everything is OK down there.

  However, when putting my laptop in * hibernation mode *, my Smartphone and my MP3 player continues to be charged!
  It's a real problem, because, even if no device is plugged into the USB port, in hibernation, the battery loses capacity quickly (much more when the laptop is turned off completely)

  * Obviously a bug in this feature. Please provide a fix as soon as possible! *

  _Environment details: _
  Toshiba Qosmio F60 136

  Hmm interesting
  Have you checked if the sleep and the load is disabled in USB Sleep and Charge Utility
  If please don t mix USB Sleep and Charge utility and utility of sleep.

• Vista could not start in normal mode and the relocation of scores of hidden factory settings also failed.

  NOTE: THE PROBLEM WAS MY POWER SUPPLY WAS LOW, NEW POWER ADAPT SOLVED MY PROBLEM.   Read more if you are interested in what happened prior to my tent a different power adapter.

  Original title: vista 32 does not start

  After a reboot could enter the mode safe mode with internet connection.  able to restore good boot known beforehand.  But what normal start attempt would not start completely.  tried to reinstall from hidden factory partition.  07:34 minutes, the installation progessed.  then the machine stop.  When you restart get the message "error during installation, restart the computer, and then restart the installation."  When you try to start in safe mode, get error ' cannot install frrom SafeMode ".". "  I have no bootable cd.  to know about a 'platform of recovery' still tells CD also cannot install from this cd.   can I boot from a "devils of recovery" in safe mode and use the hidden partition to reinstall to factory settings as I tried the first time?  or do I need a full installation CD to get the machine to boot?   My question is should I at this stage of start-up during installation seems to have failed?

  as for what caused this problem?  I recently gave a USB external hard drive, but had not written for her.  did a chkdsk of the external hard disk without error.   When the problem was first happening, I removed the battery and the power cord of the acer laptop then pressed the power for 30 seconds to perform all memory the power button.  He got rid of a problem that I had been meet in which received start-up error message not "adapter acer". with battery removed, laptop power problems have disappeared.

  as the system is now, when I try to start everything now alt F10, I get a screen that reads "change windows startup options for: microsoft windows vista ' ' path: \windows\system32\winload.exe" "partition: 2" "HDD;". " d404533e' "[/ noexecute = optin /deteecthal]"

  When I press ESC the next screen "windows boot manager" bed "choose an operating system to stat, or press TAB to select a tool:

  Microsoft windows Vista (single choice)

  "to specify an option fo this choice, press F8."

  "Tools:

  "windows memory diagnostic"

  (diagnosis of memory showed no problem) by pressing TAB toggles between Vista and the diagnosis.

  I tried to boot with external USB hard drive connected and not connected.   the touch pointer was not working, but was erratic.   Sometimes, I could use a USB wireless mouse when it is started in safe mode.   recently the media player would not charge unless I restarted.  (before the system does not at all which is the theme of this original problem).

  When I try to start using f10, I get a screen that seems to ask for entry. the cursor is held after the detecthal of the line as below. What could of entry to enter the boot to continue?

  Winload.exe

  / noexecute = optin /detecthal

  me. surprised... the problem was that my power supply was low.   the adapter provided enough power for the laptop, most of the time.  but sometimes for laptop needs more power that the adapter could supply... so the laptop would be closed.   When I tried a different power adapter in a store, the fully charged laptop and my problem was solved.  lost a lot of time because I didn't know that the power supply was the problem!

• Can only use safe mode and can not access anything except firefox

  Basically, there are a few days all of a sudden, a box came up saying Windows Explorer has stopped working. No matter what I click, it returns constantly to the rear. Because I use firefox, I can't to anything except this, and I can't get him if I use safe mode.
  It is terribly annoying, I have 6000 + photos and other things I need, i.e. duties.
  How can I fix? I can't use the normal mode, and it's annoying.
  Thanks in advance.

  Then download your data either by:

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  Then do a restore clean factory/install of Windows.

  I want to emphasize that you should not take what I wrote as a definitive diagnosis. I can't see or test your computer from here. I give you my opinion on your computer based on my experience as a computer tech and what you have written. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).
