Cannot Access HDD via USB

Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7046, had it running beautifully for a long time. Then one day it got stuck in shutdown and i was in a hurry and 1/2 distracted threw it in my pack pack, in the trunk and left it there for maybe 45 minutes. it was about 85 degrees fahrenheit out side. SO I went to turn it on at school and nothing, not even the fan just the light for power came on and nothing else, dead, dud, DOH!
I had the hard drive and bios passworded and I briefly tried it in another laptop of similar make and model. I input the password and it started to load into windows, but it was a l675d-s705_ and instent BSOD. So i have installed it into an external adapter, usb 3. and it comes up as an uninitialized disc. when it tries to initialize it (which about made me jump outa my skin cause i dont wanna loose the data) just before i unplugged it a pop up said it couldnt initialize. SO...
my question is, how can i access the hard drive, theres a few things on there that weren't on the backup i'd made, otherwise 98% of my stuff is saved as 1 week prior. If thats not a posibility. Where can i get a new motherboard to replace the one i lost. OR can i upgrade to a better one? Where can i get the install disc as the partition for factory format is in the drive and obviously not currently accessible, just incase the new mobo doesnt work with the hdd/ wanna read it for some reason.
i know i cant thingk of anythig else atm, and if i do i'll add it to this post.
thanks ahead of time!
::edit::
also does this laptop have a cmos battery, it's been a while since i checked, and im just curious

And a Battery Pull may help as well:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=27660&n=QuickPull-Free
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

I cannot access gmail via Firefox 3.6.22

Because you have upgraded Firefox and seen to it that the new version will not work well with older versions of OS X (mine is 10.4.11) I cannot access my gmail any longer via Firefox. Gmail no longer supports the older Firefox. You are all in cahoots. This kind of planned obsolescence is disgusting. It forces people to continue upgrading and spending. Capitalists! disgusting!

Nope. I have a mac, running OS X 10.4.11, and I can no longer access gmail if I use the Firefox browser. it just spins it wheels. I can however access it no problem with Camino. Sure, not all options are now available to me, but I frankly dont care. I just want to access my mail. No go with Firefox.

Cannot access Story via desktop app (OS X 10.7.3)

I cannot access my online account via the Desktop app though I am able access my account via Firefox web browser.
I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 on a 2007 MacBook Pro. I have tried to uninstall (including system files) and re-install the
app with no success. Do you have any suggestions?

No, not at all. It used to work on the same OS Lion. And just for an FYI, the system preference path that you recommended DOES NOT work with OS X 10.7.2....maybe it worked with the 10.7.2 but not with the latest. Do you have any recommendation?
Here are two screenshots of the error that I get. The first one is the error that I get when I input my right username and password. I tried to check if it was a matter of wrong password, but it is not as you can see on screenshot 2. So I need help!!!
And btw it says that I am running Adobe Story build 838. I cannot install any other version.

Cannot access iBookstore via iPad since iOS7

I cannot access iBookstore from my iPad since updating to iOS7. I've even restored the iPad, uninstalled and reinstalled the app - no luck. I've checked that there are no restrictions to the iBookstore. I can press the store button from within the app, but all I see is a blank screen. The search option is available in the top right corner, and the "Featured", "Top Charts", "Top Authors" and "Purchased" options at the bottom.
Help!

Success!
I found out that the issue was "cookies". I had in the Safari setting, "Always" in the Block Cookies section.

Cannot connect BlackBerry via USB

I'm a newbie here and hoping someone can help.
I just inherited a Curve 8320 and am trying to install Desktop Manager on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
I downloaded all the software, but when I tried to install Desktop Manager, I got this message: Before you begin, verify that your current Blackberry device is connected to your computer.
Easy enough, I plug it in via the USB. The BB gets a pop-up: USB charging current is not sufficient. Verify that your handheld is connected to a powered USB charging source and that the proper USB driver is installed.
The BB is fully charged, so it's not a charging issue. I tried everything. Downloading the driver separately (get a message it's already installed), unplugging all other devices. Nothing works. I cannot get beyond that message with Desktop Manager.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.. then I tried installing an earlier software version... tried six different ports and three different USB cords. Nothing works. I always get the message about the charging current not sufficient and the computer does not recognize the BlackBerry.
I've used all sorts of external devices - ipods, hard drives, cameras, phones - with my computer and never had a problem until now. I just can't get this BlackBerry to work.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I've been at this for hours and I'm starting to think there's an iPhone in my future.
Thanks!

Cannot access audiogon via firefox or safarai on my mac; please help.

Until this afternoon, using Safari and then google, I never had a problem accessing audiogon. I tried google via firefox and have the same problem. Can you help me restore access? Please know that there is not a problem with audiogon. I contacted a friend who uses audiogon regularly as I do and he has normal access. Thank you in advance!

Hi A Big Panda,
This is in fact very little to go on.
Some info on what you have tried, what you have set up and what router and or modem you have and how you have set them up would help.

Cannot access Facebook via Mountain Lion

Running 10.8.2 on a MBP 5,1. At first, I had no trouble. At some point, I became unable to access facebook from any browser- chrome, safari, or firefox. Chrome gives the response "This webpage is not available. Google Chrome could not load the webpage because www.facebook.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection." i.e. the response I'd expect to get from any url without an internet connection. However, I can access Facebook just fine in Windows 7 via bootcamp and iOS. Other variables- I had a Facebook related extension called social fixer installed on chrome, but doubt this is the problem. Firefox and safari did not have the extension, and did not work either. In Windows 7, I kept the extension, and facebook still worked. I did a bit of research and really couldn't find much on this problem. Tried a few simple things, clearing cache, cookies etc., rebooting... no dice. Help appreciated! Thank you in advance!

If you have the same problem in all browsers, then obviously it has nothing to do with Safari extensions, which can only affect Safari.

2 Computers Cannot Access Internet Via Airport Extreme at the same time!

I recently purchased two new computers -- a Macbook Pro (for myself) and a Macbook (for my wife). My Macbook Pro arrived first, and connected to the wireless network via Airport Extreme with no problem. Once my wife's computer arrived, and we would connect to the network with her computer, every time she accesses the network it basically "boots" my computer from the network. It still says I'm "connected" to it, but no programs/browsers/etc. that use the internet will actually work and it behaves as though there is no network connected at all. In the mean time, her Macbook continues to operate as normal and never seems to get "booted" by my Macbook Pro. Is the network thinking our two computers are the same computer? Or, what is the problem? PLEASE HELP!

I have had the same problem with my iMac and MacBook, both on leopard and with a new AEBS. With the additional symptom that internet connection will drop on either machine individually, with the other powered off. I also tried a Time Capsule, with exactly the same results. But I have observed what is described here. Internet connection is fine on one machine, then drops and I find the other machine working for awhile, until it drops. Just ping-ponging back and forth.
Since I am seeing the same problem in two new Macs with an AEBS and TC, it's hard to say that there a problem specifically with any one of them. I suspect that my problem is interference, or electrical noise when using 802.11n. The only thing that worked for me is "802.11b/g compatible" mode.
In another post, it was suggested that the AEBS was interacting with Digital cable TV/internet, potentially causing an electrical noise issue. What kind of service to you have?

Tried to run Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, and now cannot access my external USB disk...

Greetings all,
I run the app after downloading it from Apple but it failed with a message that it could not use that drive. From then on, the drive is inaccesible. Disk Utility cannot repair it, it reports "incompatible filesystem". If someone has an idea on this I would be grateful as I have rather important personal and family info on this drive... It is a Lacie external USB drive of 1TB.

When did the file assistant fail saying it couldn't use the drive? If it's suddenly inaccessible, I can only assume it started the erase process before it failed?
So you know for future reference, review this link.
Excerpt from the above link:
System requirements
A Mac running OS X Lion with an existing Recovery HD
An external USB hard drive or thumb drive with at least 1GB of free space
How to use Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant will erase all data on the external drive when creating the Recovery HD. You should either backup your data before running the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, or create a new partition on the external drive.

External HDD (via USB) to Time Capsule as Media Server?

I bought a 3TB Seagate Backup Plus i will like to link to my 3TB Time Capsule as a media Server... anything I must do in particular?

Make sure it is Mac formatted.. HFS+
Other than that.. expect low slow speeds.. when the computer can find the TC at all.

My access was blocked because i left my pc on at home and now i cannot access anymore with thunderbird only via browser how can i restore access??

I cannot access anymore via thunderbird while with the same pw i can access via browser after my account was blocked how can i restore access via email program?

I was on my gmail account and looked at settings forward and pop/imap
be sure they are activated.
Imap if you want to access it from several places. That way you have the original on Gmail-server and copies on your pc.
Pop on the other hand loads down the emails. perfect if its just one pc.
(i'm not sure the Gmail-server deletes them thou).

Airport Extreme with 2TB WD HDD connected via USB

Hello all, have just joined this discussion group. I had been a windows user for several years now until recently when I replaced my laptop for Macbook Pro 13".
MAC OS is good and stable. As my MAC HDD is only about 250 GB, it is not sufficient for my media files both Photos, Music & Video. Hence, I purchased a 2TB WD Essential USB Hard drive for storing the media files and using it as the backup for Time Machine. I want to use my media files both in my Mac as well as my IBM Thinkpad (Office), I decided to buy N class Router and connect the HDD which would enable me to share. However, I failed on my ideas as the Netgear Router N600 WINDR3700 does not support HFS+ File System! I was not willing for Fat32, but tried that too, the file transfer speeds are very slow.
Now I am thinking as to whether return this WINDR3700 Router and buy Airport Extreme in-lieu of that. My questions are as follows:
1) Does Airport Extreme support 2TB HDD via USB ? I assume it will support HFS+ FS.
2) Would I be able to configure Time Machine for Backups to this HDD attached to the Airport Express ?
3) Could I configure iTunes & iPhotos to store Media & Image Files Library in this HDD instead of my local Mac HDD ?
4) How is the Speed of File Transfer to this HDD ?
5) How is the Speed of Internet in N class in Airport Extreme ? I currently use a 50 Mb DSL ?
I am even prepared to reformat my entire MAC and reinstall everything again based on your suggestion if there is a need.
My decision to buy Airport Extreme is based on all of you users valuable inputs.
Thanks in anticipation of your support.
Cheers, Sriram

Wow, and I thought my problem connecting to the Extreme router to my Kodak wireless printer was the problem. You have multiple printers from various manufacturers that won't connect wirelessly. I hope you get a reply that will help us both. My printer finds theappropriate network but the Security Kkey (password), that works with my other connected PC's, does not connect the printer. Ron

MacBook Pro won't recognize external drive via usb, will recognize same drive by firewire.

Title pretty much sums it up. I've had an external firewire 800 drive (Iomega eGo) for about 2 years now. I've got it partitioned and am using part as a time machine backup and the rest as a data storage/ data moving partition. A few days ago I realized that any data I put on either partition can't be copied off by either my computer or either of my two friend's MacBook Pros. The copy starts fine, but then always screeches to a halt around 5% (this is via firewire). This same drive also cannot be recognized via USB by any of our Macs (I plug it in, light comes on, but doesn't blink), but if I plug it into my Windows Desktop the USB recognition is immediate. I found this very strange. I could also copy files off of the drive via USB onto my desktop. If I let it sit long enough on a failed copy on our macbooks eventually it gives me an error code 36. I traced that to a likely hard drive failure on the part of the external. I found this odd because not even 3 days ago I was pulling iTunes songs off the drive onto my desktop with no trouble. Is there any way to fix this via software or the terminal or anything? Disk Utility says both partitions are 'OK'. I'd really like to not spend another chunk of change on an external, as I just spent $180 on a new HDD and SSD for my desktop.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
{ diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
