Computer does not start up when connected to My Book 4TB

When I connect MY Book (4TB) to my computer before turning it on, my computer does not start up.  I only get a black screen.  If I disconnect the My Book and then first start up my computer, I am able to plug in My Book and read all the files, backup, etc.  Why won't the computer start when My Book is connected???

??? Wrong Forum? This is for "My Book Live" vs "My Book"... How to tell? Easy, MBL (NAS) does not have USB, MB (USB HD) does...

  • Windows 7 computer does not recognize SX50HS when connected by cable

    My computers, both of which run Windows 7, do not recognize the Powershot SX50HS when it is connected via the Canon cable. In other words, even after the cable is connected to the USB port and the camera's power is turned on, the camera does not show up as a device when you go to "Computer" and look at the list of drives, etc. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    If you don't know run the software disk that came with the SX50. It has the correct files that your computer needs in order to communicate with your camera.

  • ITunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPHONE.  When I start it manually it does not recognize my phone although the phone is visible in My Computer.

    Itunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPhone.  When I start it manually, it never recognizes the phone although it does ask if I want to download pictures etc.  Many albums have no art work that use to.  iTunes completely unresponsive to the mouse.

    Hi billm1013,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • "Your computer does not seem to be connected to the internet." when trying to sign into Lightroom Mobile

    I want to connect Lightroom 5.5 with Lightroom mobile. I click on the identity plate in Lightroom and select "sign in". A window opens saying "connecting...". Eventually the message changes to "Your computer does not seem to be connected to the internet." My machine is a Windows 8.1 PC and I already tried to solve the issue by allowing LR through the firewall.

    I just found a solution:
    - Close Lightroom
    - Rename your .lrprefs file to e.g. .lrprefs.old
    - Launch LR
    - Sign in
    - Close LR
    - Delete the newly created .lrprefs file
    - Rename your previous .lrprefs file from .lrprefs.old to .lrprefs
    - Launch LR again and sign in

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • My battery still does not start recharging when less then 10% charged

    Hi,
    I have been having problem with my laptop (Pavilion dv7) for the last three weeks if not more. Basically the battery does not start charging when it is less then 10% charged. I tried calibrating the battery and the problem seemed to disapear for some time. However after less then a week it starting doing the same thing again.
    When I try the battery healt teset (that comes by default with the laptop) it gives me a message that battery should be replaced and also gives me the warrenthy id. Should I go with the warrenthy id to the place where I bought the laptop to get a new one? Or is there anything else I can do to try and solve the problem.
    Regards
    Simon J.

    Call up HP Tech Support, provide them the warranty ID, to get your battery replaced...Given if your Laptop is not more than 1 yr old, as Battery has one 1 Yr warranty on it...

  • I have a mac book pro.  It is 3 years old.  when I push the button to turn on the computer, it does not start.  The little light comes on, but the computer does not start up

    I have a macbook pro.  It is three years old.  It has been working perfectly fine.  However, as of yesterday, whenever I push the "on" button, the computer does not turn on.  The little light comes on indicating that the computer has started, but there is nothing on the computer screen, and it does not make the usually noise that it makes when it cycles on. 
    Any suggestions?

    Check the battery status to make sure it has a full charge (and that the charger is working). Then make sure the screen backlight is turned up.
    If the backlight is up then, try forcing the machine to shutdown (hold the power button for 5 - 10 seconds).  Then restart the computer(listen for the start up chime).
    If the computer does start up and you still cannot see anything reset the PRAM by forcing the machine to shut down (hold power button as before), then press the power button and start holding the key combo
    <Command>+<Option>+p+r
    until you hear the start up chime two or three times, then release the keys and allow to boot

  • When I had my old blackberry connected to my computer, all incoming emails were routed to my outlook so I did not get mails on my blackberry.  How do I get it so my iphone4 does not receive emails when connected to my computer?

    I am getting my iphone inbox bombarded so would like it to not receive emails when connected to my computer.  My old blackberry had an app that took care of this which worked really well.  Am wondering if I can do the same with my iphone4.

    Blackberries were/are able to do that with some types of e-mail accounts because the mail is routed to an intermediary (BlackBerry Service).
    There is no equivalent for the iPhone as the phone communicates directly with the mail servers and does not go through a 3rd party.
