TOSHIBA external drive works only with Macbook

Hello

I have a 1 TB external drive that I used on my 2007 Macbook without problem until recently when he decided suddenly stop working. Nothing has been changed in the Macbook, I read in some places that there is a problem with enough power of drawing from the usb port to power the player, but have you tried going through a usb port and using a longer replacement cable...

All advice welcome!

Thank you

The question is: is this just a problem of USB connection or maybe the HARD drive starts to crime

I mean, early or late each HARD drive is going to die, and it's just a matter of time and usage of HARD drive

I recommend you to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer just to check if it will recognize

but to be honest, the question smells like a hardware malfunction.

  • Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

    I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

    In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

    Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

    This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

    OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.

  • Re: Toshiba Store Alu 3.5 "1 TB HARD drive works only with Windows 2008 64-bit

    Just bought this as a backup device for Small Business Server 2008 running on Windows 2008 64-bit. However it does not? Are there drivers anywhere for this or it is simply not supported and I need to buy an alternative solution?

    Plugged into my laptop Windows 7 64 bit and no problems.

    Someone else had the same problem?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no other software by download.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba in the Options area but didn't find anything

    AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

    There may be a password.
    Try this:
    Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
    Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
    Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
    Select 'Options '.
    Select "Disable security password"
    Enter your current password
    Unplug the HARD drive
    connect the HARD drive

    Now, it will work, but with no password protection. Perhaps it would work

  • DeskJet F4180: F4180 driver works only with Windows 10

    Printer prints all bad, except the dark colors. Turns red magenta, green is dark blue etc.

    Printer worked fine with win xp.

    Test page prints perfectly without error

    Using the prints to photocopy an exact color copy - it's just data coming directly from the computer which is incorrect, so the work of does'nt driver properly with win 10. I checked that I have the latest version of the driver 6.1.7600.16385.

    I have noted this problem has already been spotted upward - when a new driver is available?

    or can anyone suggest a work around.

    Printer I tried with my laptop win10 and the fault has been the same.

    Printer I tried with my old desktop winxp and the rift was healed - perfect impression of a jpeg file.

    Reconnected printer back on my desk win10 and printed on the same jpeg file and printing was perfect!

    Have you tried a few other files that I had problems with and prints are very well - can only be assumed that the problem was down to the usb connector.

    Thanks for the help

    Hello

    It is possible that the drive is faulty, but there may be a setting of conservation of power on your laptop, originally a problem as well...

    If you go to Power Options... 'Change Plan settings' on the right in blue text... then 'Change advanced power' also in the blue text, you will get a window where you can change the default power settings.

    You can temporarily disable or modify everything related to your USB...

    You can also go to Device Manager... 'Bus USB controllers' and see if you can determine what Hub or your disk controller is attached to and temporarily disable power save...

    Maybe it's that your computer does simply not provide enough power to the drive...

    Can you pass the cables to different ports to see if that helps?

    USB 3.0 ports supply more power, is that you have a...

    You have all the gadgets AC adapter that power via a USB connector, you can try?

    You could try a friends computer or something for a simple test...

    When USB powered external drives first came out, there were many problems with insufficient availability. Even after the use of two Sockets USB problem remained to a lesser extent...

    USB 3.0 has a higher power to try to resolve many of these issues.

  • External monitor works only with the Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a Macbook Pro 15-inch (mid-2015, OS X El Capitan 10.11.4) and planned to connect it to my BenQ GL2450HM (he had since worms 2011 for my Windows PC). I had a DVI adapter for them, but the card connects to the cable correctly (as it goes down easy) and then when I plugged it, the monitor gave me a green light for a bit, but finally displays 'no signal' and the screen went black, and yellow light. But when I pulled the cable out of my monitor, he said "no cable not connected" (implying that he entered the connection somehow before that?)

    So, I read while holding down the option key to detect monitors, but that did not work. Put the laptop to sleep and then wake it up didn't work either. I also tried to plug the adapter to DVI/VGA Converter that I have, but they fit together. I tried to plug the adapter directly to the DVI port on my monitor, but they are not at all together.

    I feel, it should be possible to make the Macbook and monitor work together, but I'm stuck to know exactly what needs to be fixed. Probably the adapter or DVI cable, however. Do you have any suggestions?

    I don't see that this is not possible, so I am that give a bump.

  • SATA drives works only with Yosemite

    It's really a more of a question for the Apple forums, but I do not any progress on this, so I thought I'd throw it to the crowd here. Basically, I'm on Mac OS 10.8 and I wanted to go to CC2015. Can't do that, of course, unless I'm to 10.9. So I decided to jump straight to Yosemite, 10.10.

    Only problem, is that Yosemite does not see my searched external SATA drives! Someone else, by chance, met this problem? (BTW, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get 10.9 instead, I'd buy some... of course Apple there is no longer in the Apple store).

    Thanks, Geoff

    I think you can go to Detroit to 10.10.

    I had a similar problem with my Highpoint Raid card which doesn't see that my external hard drives after upgrade to Yosemite. A driver updated for the card did all this.

    So, probably, you will need to send an e-mail to the company of Raid and ask for help.

    All the best

  • DeskJet 722C works only with Windows 7

    OK, so I applied the DJ_Patch as described. (See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/Deskjet-710-720-810-820-100-Series-prin... ) I have Windows 7, 64-bit and a HP Deskjet 722 C printer.  Tried to print the test page, but received the error from the printer.  Tried to add a printer, you are looking for the 722C, but it is not on the list, even tried to do Windows Update to search for my printer.   Tried to restart, which did not work or the other.  Still get error printer.  I appreciate any other suggestions.  BTW, the printer is connected via a USB to parallel port cable.

    My HP Deskjet 722C now works!  I spent several hours trying different things only to find out it was the cable use to connect the printer to our new computer.  He is there not a lot of info on the package of cable but if you watched closely he said it worked only with Win XP, me and Vista.  Who would have thought that the cable wasn't working with some BONE... me!  Once we went and bought a new cable ($40, Ouch!), we were running a few minutes.  I don't know that a cheaper cable is available online.

    I wanted to post this in the hope of saving someone money, time and frustration on the other.
