Toshiba Canvio fail to mount after a month

Hi guys,.

I have Toshiba Canvio 3T (HDWC130EK3J1) and it worked fine for a month. Now, it will fail to mount.

I read on some forums that it could be a power issue. I have USB 2.0 and perhaps need a "cable Toshiba y." I do not understand if I was using just a week just why I would need a cable in 'Y' now HARD drive.

I have not any other computer with USB 3.0 to check if it's the power-hungry drive is the "real problem".

I have iMac
Mac OS X 10.9.5

Any help or ideas?

Thank you!

I forgot to add...

Toshiba CANVIO does not appear in the disk utility... at all. Not on the desktop, or utility disk. Many worked yesterday, displayed on the desktop with the other two drives ext...

I've tried different USB ports too. I can hear the disc running when it is plugged into my Mac. The light is too much but does not appear.

I read the Toshiba site we on this product and I have TONS of bad reviews... many people call a reminder. Very disappointed to read of a supposed good Toshiba brand.

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics 1 TB hard work do not

    Hi all

    I bought a 1 TB Canvio Officeworks HDD Basics about 6 months ago, and it has been wayward more or less his entire life.

    The USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I intend to pay, but I'd like my data on it.
    Contact Toshiba?

    I tried to email them, but I can't work that the serial and model numbers are on this subject.
    Also, I do not have the box, the drive came in or the original receipt would be this question if I am trying to return it?

    I am sure that it is still in warranty and whatnot.

    Any help would be great,

    Louis

    > USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I googled for the 1 TB Canvio Basics HDD and it seems that this external HARD disk supports USB 3.0
    The USB 3.0 standard generally provide 900mA power. The USB 2.0 standard provides power of 500mA.
    If you have problems using USB 3.0 as part of a USB 2.0 device, I recommend you connect the HARD drive to 2 ports USB 2.0 USB with USB Y cable.

    But if the HARD drive does not work in different USB ports (also connected to two USB ports) and then the HARD drive may be defective.

    If the warranty is valid, the device can be fixed / replaced in warranty conditions. Of course you need a proof of purchase (receipt or something like that)

    But to my knowledge such guaranteed conditions don t include the process of data recovery.
    So in the event of disk failure HARD, the data is lost. :(

    If you wish, you can check date get offers:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/services/data-recovery/

    But as far as I know if you have not purchased this service before the disk fails, the rescue date procedure can be a very costly affair.

  • External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

    Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

    I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

    Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

    NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

    Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

  • Satellite Z830 - screen cracked after 4 months

    I bought my Z830 in July 2012.
    While I liked using the computer, the screen cracked after 4 months of normal use.

    I had to deal with the computer slowly and have always used a bag of ice and computer when they travel with him. The crack occurred while the computer had been sitting on a desk for about 2 months.

    I had about 10 Toshiba computers laptops/notebooks over the past 15 years and have never had a cracked screen before.

    It seems that a cracked screen is not covered by warranty Toshiba, so it is very disappointing.

    I would be very interested to know how many others have had this experience with the Z830.

    Peter

    > I had about 10 Toshiba computers laptops/notebooks over the past 15 years and have never had a cracked screen before.

    I had 3 different notebooks in the past and never had this problem and from my point of view this question cannot goes without any pressure from the outside

    Each HARD disk belongs to "wear".
    What does that mean? Well, sooner or later each HARD drive is going to die... and in most cases, these questions appear suddenly and are surprising.

    This HARD drive is a device of simple plug ' n play... This means that you have to connect it to the USB port and it should work...
    If this is not the case, the unit may malfunction and usually it is not repairable.

  • Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
    I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
    All settings are OK...

    The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello!

    In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

    After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

    Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

    Good bye

  • My toshiba canvio basics3.0 1.0 TB will not back up my toshiba computer

    I have Toshiba Z830 CORE i7 with windows 7 & I'm trying to go back to Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 1.0 to external hard drive, but the custom of the computer recognize the external device. He appears in the devices, but is not recognized when you try to make the back upward. Is there anyone who can advise me how to solve the my problem please?

    Hi Sabine,.

    This issue may be caused if drive letter is not assigned to the external hardware. Click on Start/Control Panel / Management/disk management administration tools/computer see if there is a disc shown. If it is not listed here, the chances are that it is not a drive letter assigned. If this is the case, do a right-click on the specified drive and choose to select "change drive letters and paths" one drive letter in those proposed and click ok. If that was the problem, it should now display in 'computer '.

    This can also occur if the drivers are not installed properly. Try the following steps.

    (a) go to the Device Manager

    (b) find the external hard drive.

    (c) the right mouse click - Uninstall

    (e) restart the computer and plug the USB external hard drive and let it find and install the driver

    (f) try to backup, it should work.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

    How can I make my Toshiba Canvio 3 TB on extradition State?

    You have deleted all partitions and don't create all backups in the past?
    Well, I guess that you will not be able to recover these new partitions :(

  • Data storage 3.5 "Toshiba Canvio problem with permanent fade.

    Since I started using the Toshiba Canvio 3 TB 3.5 "external data storige disc he found himself a strange faul which makes it difficult to use.

    Data storage, for example when I use it to watch a video file off and then it start immediately again to go back... It can happen to the breast of a movie 20 times and it is very annoying because you never know when the judgment will happen...

    How to fix this please?

    Hello

    In my opinion it is not very easy to say why the external HARD disk automatically turns off while watching a movie. But this issue does not seem that there might be something wrong with the settings or software.
    Of course, some tools are available and installed on the HARD drive as the NTI Backup Now EZ software but I n t think that this could affect the playback of the movie. However, this software supports and automatic backup function and you can change how often your backup intervenes (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). So try to disable this setting for testing purposes.

    Fact is that this 3.5 HARD drive must be connected to a power adapter and HARD drive supports the USB 3.0 interface but it s backward compatible with USB 2.0.

    I put t know what are the USB ports you have used for the connection of HARD drive, but I recommend you test all the USB ports taken in charge by the PC.

    Last but not least, it could be possible that there is a hardware problem simple HARD drive

    Hello Ingo

    Last days, we read more similar reports on the various problems after installing SP3. As far as I know that Toshiba has faced similar problems after SP2 release and updates were offered. The fact is that SP3 has a negative influence on the different drivers and Toshiba has designed tools and utilities.

    For now, Toshiba has not any update and we need to see what will happen in the future. I always use SP2 and do not have similar problems on my laptop satellite.

    Or you can live with it and wait for update or restore BONES on time earlier and remove SP3.
    I see no solution at the moment.

  • Toshiba Canvio 3TO HDD - does it support Win XP

    I'm looking for clarification of a new Toshiba Canvio external (3.5 in.) 3 hard to office, I bought Saturday in Zurich.
    I see on the area (under the heading - operating systems) new systems are listed. The only not listed is Windows XP.

    Yes, I know, that as April last Microsoft does support more XP, but as a supporter of the tech, I am also aware - through various publications of the computer industry, tech support Web sites and newsletters online (at least) that all over the world, probably more than a third or more of the computers use even the XP operating system.

    As I support technician private (which most cover newer systems) I have (since last spring) 30 + people I support who have decided
    stay with XP for a while. (I intend to support all the of them until my retirement at the end of this year).

    The last external Toshiba I bought (back up their data - last summer - listed for XP on the side of the box. A new does not list it. My question is, of course, (before I open the new Toshiba box) hardware will work fine with XP.

    I fully understand that their corporate point of view no matter what manufacturer of HD would not care claim no responsibility for the data via an operating system supported 'more '. And I quite accept it... and this responsibility for data.
    And I guess, basically, that's WHY a company would prepare the list is no longer an abandoned operating system.

    But I just wanted to ask (as mentioned above) if someone could give me a tip as to if this new WILLINGNESS of HD work with data on a XP computer.

    Thank you, in advance, for any info or advice...

    As noted on the page Toshiba; It is a plug ' n play HDD and Win XP is supported.
    This means you don't need drivers in order to use this HARD drive... so I wonder why this HARD drive should NOT work under Win XP computer...

    You are right; Microsoft ended in own support of Win XP but in my opinion there is nothing to do with the use of this HARD drive...
