• TOSHIBA external hard drive does not work with Mac

  Finally, I used my Toshiba external hard drive on my MacBook Pro in December. I want to keep all my photos, and I've always been able to add new photos to it and delete the 'old' out of it. I plugged it today to add more photos, and it is not letting me. I went to the sharing & preferences and he read that when he used to say, read and write. I went to the info, and I noticed, it says that the format is Windows. Why he did change and why can't I use it? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance

  Looks like you have formatted the NTFS drive that is read-only for OS X. Copy data to another drive, then partition and format the drive correctly for use on a Mac.

• How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

  I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

  As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

  So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

  Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

  Hello

  I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

  If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?

• Hi there I've recently invested in a toshiba external hard drive 640, as my lap top got only 2.03 GB of space left... How can I empty my drive (C) now its been copyed?

  • I copyied my all data mobile c drive only to find the top lap always full and on red, nothing, I've known idea how to wipe my drive C clean?, the problem became worse when I was syncing a few songs on my ipod on iTunes as I was told the drive HARD (E) REQUIRED TO BE FORMATED BEFORE so I CAN USE it I have DONE SO and now I've lost all the songs I had out there for my iTunes library, as the HDDrive (E) has NOW BEEN WIPE CLEAN! still, it appears in iTunes but says is not able to lowcate he obveously it was all stored on external disk HARD (E)...
  • . I REALIZE THAT IT IS TWO QUESTIONS
  • IE how do I erase my Cdrive once it has been saved?
  • and is it possible to recover my music deleted from my HDDrive?
  • any help would be that much appritiated cordially Stéphane

  If you have formatted the drive E, it is unlikely that you will be able to recover anything that was on him.

  You can copy the data files on drive E and then after copying, delete the files that you copied from the C drive.  If you format the drive C or the erase, and then the computer no longer work, as the operating system resides on the C drive.

  I suggest that you start by start. Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Cleaning disc and after run to see how much space is available.  After that, copy large data files (music, video, images) in the E drive and then you can delete the C drive.  But if something happens to drive E (as reformat you) what will be lost.

• Using an external hard drive with El Capitan

  I connected a Toshiba external hard drive in a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to back up some files.

  First, he asked if I wanted to use it for time machine. I selected "decide later".

  Then, I realized that I could not create a new folder on the hard drive, or I could stick anything on it (to save).

  I could copy the HD stuff and paste on my desktop only, but not what I need...

  What is a typical problem? Is it because I chose to decide later? Has anyone encountered this before?

  (p.s. Please also indicate if the question category, I chose should be changed)

  This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac. To check, select the volume in the Finder, choose information, look at the format.

  In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

• How to transfer bookmarks to external hard drive

  I need to transfer all my favorites from Mozilla Firefox Version 39.0 to a Toshiba external hard drive. Please inform me on the steps. There is no "organize bookmarks" anywhere on the titles of browsers. So I'm a bit lost and I have a few days to accomplish this task.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

  Note that "Organize bookmarks" was unused for some time in the version of Firefox.
  It is now under "bookmarks > show all bookmarks.
  View that all bookmarks is found in the drop-down list of the 'Show your bookmarks' button that is placed next to the star in the Navigation toolbar.

• External hard drive on Macbook Pro

  So I got a macbook pro for about 5 years now, and he is currently shooting OSX El Capitan. I have a Toshiba external hard drive that runs on it. I had problems editing on that before, when I upgraded to OSX El Capitan, but I downloaded a update for it and it started working again.

  Just today, I just bought a new macbook pro (retina, 512 GB HDD, 8 GB memory display) also running OSX El Capitan. But when I plug the external hard drive it does not rise. I've seen similar issues on here before the problem is "lack of power", but I don't see why my old work and isn't my only new. I also saw a solution to reformat the external hard drive, but that would erase all my data on the external hard drive, and which completely defeats the purpose of an external HD then. And for me, it is already formatted for mac. Did he have the same problem and found a solution?

  What format is the external? How is it connected to the Mac? How is it linked to iPhoto?

• Vista does not allow access to my Toshiba USB hard drive

  Hello!

  My Toshiba external hard drive that worked perfectly well in XP does not work on my visit Home Premium. The error message says something about. INI files.

  I've seen previous discussions about this problem by suggesting to download the right drivers for Vista under the following address

  Options of-> Options USB-> USB HDD-> USB HDD black + silver

  ... but these drivers no longer seem to be available.

  Can someone please help me find the right drivers? Thank you very much!

  Best,

  Sandra

  Hello

  I have no idea of (external)? HARD drive drive do you have average but if the HARD drive does not work under Vista OS, then that means that the driver/software is not compatible with Vista OS.

  A part of software for external hard drives, you'll find the European Toshiba driver page:
  Options of-> disk-> disk & HDD adapters devices

  Maybe you should check this again!

• Regen not install software on external HARD drive

  I recently bought a Toshiba external hard drive.
  I try to install the software that came with it.
  The software is Regen - PushButton Backup.
  It seems to load and install ok (via install Wizard). But when I try to run it, I get the message:
  REGEN. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We're sorry...

  Can someone help resolve this for me? I had 3 attempts and installation/uninstallation.

  @chrismuirhead
  Maybe the software has been placed in your first account and starts automatically if you use your account. For most of these software is placed in the registry under RUN or in the startup folder.
  You must check the file if the application is placed here:
  C:\Documents and Settings\ account \Start

• Installation of linux on external hard drive

  What does mean hard as format: a small swat and rest space cut into ext3 and NTFS.

  He is wise and ok to start the system from an external hard drive like that?

  In my opinion, you should visit some Linux forum and pick up any info how to proceed.

• Virus on external HARD drive - SwitchFK.exe-infected Email - Worm.Win32.Nyxem.e

  Toshiba external hard drive is configured with two partitions. Main is 290 GB for backup data.
  Small partition shows as a CD drive and contains the ONSPEC program (which I don't use).

  The Shield Deluxe continuous anti-virus program to tell me there is a virus affecting a file in the small partition. The file affected (allegedly) is \Driver\SwitchFK.exe.

  The virus is supposed to be Email - Worm.Win32.nyxem.e
  I can not remove this file or even the program Onspec. Setup as a CD player gives me a message saying that the disk (the small partition) is not able to write to.

  Even tried using Linux (Knoppix), but could not do the thing to remove.
  So I have a password called drive, which seems to be a bad guy.

  Any ideas, please!

• External hard drive not appearing is not in Windows Explorer

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive that has been previously connected to a MAC and that worked very well. I have data on the MAC that I need to put on my PC that is running Windows Vista, but when I plug it into the computer it does not appear in windows Explorer.  She appears as installed hardware and appears under Device Manager/disk management, but there is not a disk entrusted to him.  When I right click on it to assign a drive, this option is grayed out and I can't assign the driver.  Is this what can I do to access the external drive?

  Thank you

  Try the DISKPART command line?

  Using a command line

  1. open the command prompt.

  2. type: diskpart

  3. at the DISKPART prompt, type: list of volume

  Note the number of the simple volume without drive letter assignment.

  4. at the DISKPART prompt, type: select volume n

  Select the volume, where n is the volume number, without drive letter assignment.

  5. at the DISKPART prompt, type: assign letter = L

  Where L is the drive letter you want to assign to the drive.

  AutoPlay must illuminate with the newly assigned drive letter.

• 1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7

  1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.

  It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.

  My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.

  When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.

  I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters);  Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.

  Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.

  Any input would be appreciated

  I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.

  I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.

  To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

• TOSHIIBA external hard drive will not be displayed in "My computer" (Windows 7)

  Several months ago, I bought a Toshiba external hard drive and used to back up my laptop.  I have not used since then, but needed to recover a lost file today.  Unfortunately, when I plug the external hard drive, it will not be displayed in my computer.  When I connect, I get the sound that makes Windows when connect you something.  The hard drive turns on and I can feel it running.  But it does not appear in my computer.  If I go into the Device Manager and look under ' hard drives it appears as "USB device external Toshiba 3.0."  When it is offline, it does not appear in the list of disk drives in Device Manager.

  Advice how I can get to appear in 'My Computer' so I can actually access the files?  Thank you!

  Hello

  This problem may be caused by one of the following:

  (a) your player does not have a drive letter assigned in disk management

  (b) the drive may be disabled or offline

  (c) your USB driver is maybe corrupted
