Canvio 3.0 won't connect and now won't power up

My Canvio 3.0 (1T) was working fine.
First used it with a Inspiron 1501 with Win 7 32 bit, then with a new HP dv7 with Win 7 64 bit.
A week ago, I plugged it in, the laptop didn't see it connected. I unplugged cord, plugged it in again on both sides, power came on and then went out. It didn't come back.
I thought cable was messed up and bought a new one.
Same behavior. Power came on but HP never saw it connected.
I tried disconnecting and plugging in again, and now no power.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am using USB 3.0 ports. On more research, the majority of people are having the same problem after a few months using these drives. The connection at the back gets loose and won't connect anymore. I've tried wiggling it, but it only connects for a second at best.
Anyone found a way to get it to connect? I've even gotten a new cable; it's the drive, not the cable.
I can't believe this. Toshiba used to be better than this.

  • Ellipsis Jetpack won't connect and now won't even turn on

    I have been having a problem with my Toshiba running Vista , connecting to my Ellipsis jetpack. I called customer service and while the rep was very courteous and helpful, she stated the problem was a security issue with my laptop. I took several measures to disable the security features but to no avail.  Finally, I took the laptop and jetpack in to Verizon yesterday to get some answers. Two different service reps attempted to solve my problem. The second rep finally told me that this is a known problem with Vista/Ellipsis compatibility. He kindly offered the solution of upgrading to a newer version of Windows. After returningbhome and doing some research, i find that my Toshiba doesn't meet the requirements to upgrade. Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to connect to my jetpack???? On top of that, the jetpack shut down this morning while I was actually connected and working online, and now it won't turn back on, even after a hard reset. Frustrated and dissatisfied. Can anyone help???

    I too have an Ellipsis jetpack. Unfortunately the Verizon CSR(s) you spoke to gave out a lot of misinformation.
    Since you've been able to connect to the Ellipsis in the past it should not be an encryption issue (security). However you could log into the Ellipsis and change the security from WPA2 to WPA to see if that resolves your problem. Do you have the ability to connect a different wireless device to see if it can connect and remain connected?
    There are no "compatibility issues" with systems running Vista and connecting to the Ellipsis.
    If your laptop runs Vista then it will handle Windows 7 or 8. Most drivers should be installed automatically, but you may have to find some on your own.
    Regarding the power issue:
    Pull the power cord & battery out of the Ellipsis for 10 min, then reconnect and hold the power switch to power it on.
    I would also recommend that you see if there is a driver update for your wireless adapter. Don't just rely on Windows Update or Toshiba's website either. Get the model # of the adapter and go to the mfg's site for the latest driver - especially if it's Realtek, Intel, or Atheros since they are often updated.

    my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • Ipod Touch 3g Got hot and now won't turn on

    I have an iPod touch 3g, 8gb's to be specific. I forgot the password to get into it, so I plugged it into my computer in order to reset the whole thing. I plugged it in and it connected, but after three seconds or so it disconnected. I tried plugging it in again, but the computer didn't notice anything plugged in.
    I looked on the internet for some advice and I learned that I could hold the power button and the power button at the same time for somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds to restart it. I did that. The iPod turned off, but it got really hot and now won't power on plugged in or not.
    What caused this? It's written all over this website that doing that would just reset the iPod, not kill it! Did it toast the motherboard?

    The cable should not cause a problem unless it was really damaged and had power going to the wrong contacts.

    However, th heating may indicate a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

    Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

    Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.

    I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

  • My ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it....help..help!

    my ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Itouch crashed when updating ios6 and now won't restore

    My itouch crashed when updating to ios6 and now won't restore! Getting an error code (14). Any ideas?

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    You could try restoring the S/W on your iPod Touch. If that doesn't work you may need to talk to Apple about repair.
