  Original title: problems with USB ports

  Hi Alba.

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

  • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
  • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
  • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
  • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable

• iMac does not recognize the external speakers

  After working flawlessly for two years, my iMac (running Mavericks) now does not recognize my speakers B & W MM1.  I restarted my iMac, unplugged and reconnected my speakers as well from the electrical outlet and the USB connection, but nothing has worked so far.  All other connections are solid.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Hmmm. These speakers are USB, so they should be relatively problem-free.

  Try to disconnect all your USB devices, restart, and then reconnect the USB devices again. It remaps the USB.

  In addition, make sure the configuration under the system preferences/Sound/output is correct.

• Why my mac does not recognize my hard drive or SD cards?

  I got a new Macbook Air last month. Since I had so much problems with it - mostly because if you plug in anything whatever in the SD card slot or USB drives, it does not recognize them. I own a mac before, as well as PC laptop dell, so I am aware of the problems when formatting the discs everywhere, but even when I plugged a new passport hard drive, the computer couldn't find. Similarly, you may not find all the SD cards when I tried to use the SD card.

  What is going with this? I am a photographer living, so I need constant access to these two. This new model has some new method for transfer of files from the external hard drive etc.?

  Close, then connect the mac to a power adapter, disconnect all external devices.

  reset the SMC

  reset all external then pulls even deleted

  Once you open a session reconnect the external hard drive

  If the drive is connected with a hub of party 3rd do not use it and connect the drive directly to the mac

  Connect the external hard drive and open Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility disk utility

  The drive appears in the list of external devices?

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Why windows 7 does not recognize my blu - ray player

  I upgraded fron vista to windows 7 and now when I put a blu - ray disc

  If it's a movie/TV Blu - Ray disc, then Windows 7 will not play it unless you install 3rd party software/codecs. These can be either purchased or there are those who are free available.
