EXT HD shutting down after upgrade.  Lost all info on a WD and G drive is starting to shut down.  How do I fix?  Fear my back up are going to fail.

After upgrading I have lost one WD drive completely.  My WD drive with time machine has started to shut off suddenly.  I have removed it and going to see if it is fried.  My G drive just shut down with the same error.  This has all my light room photos & have backed up all info on this drive to a new G RAID. as well as a 1T ext WD.  I fear I will lose my backup of my backups.  How do I fix this before I loose everything?

Not a solution, but something to try.
In the Energy Saver preference window, do you have the "Put the hard disk....possible." checked or unchecked?
Try it the opposite of what you have selected now.
Also, do you have the same problem if the energy saver is moved to Never?
 Cheers, Tom

  • ITunes lost all of my files on the external drive, thousands of songs.  Is there a way to load them back in without doing one at a time?

    I've just updated the lates iTunes, and now it seems to have lost all of my music.  I have thousands of songs on an external drive, none of them can be found...the songs are in multiple folders on the external drive so the media folder to the external folder doesn't fix the problem...iTunes isn't seeing songs that are in different folders with sub folders.  Is there a way to have iTunes discover the music on the external drive to avoid reloading each of them one at a time?

    When you first download iTunes onto a PC, it will give you the option to allow iTunes to search for your music. I'd suggest removing iTunes from your PC, connecting your external drive and then download iTunes from scratch. I'm pretty sure if you let it, it will find the music for you.

  • I downloaded 4.0.1 and lost all my Yahoo toolbar apps but still have the Yahoo search bar. How can I get the apps back? Refreshing the "gear" does nothing.

    I have Windows XP and downloaded Firefox 4.0.1. After it was installed 5/7/11, I noticed all my Yahoo search bar apps were missing. Rebooting did not help. Neither did the "gear" on the toolbar next to the yellow Yahoo search box. Internet Explorer browser still shows them. How can I get the apps back in Firefox?

    I have Windows 7, the Yahoo toolbar has been working fine until today now all my apps are missing.
    Refreshing the toolbar does nothing.

  • After getting my 2007 imac's HDD repaired, the super drive stopped working... How can i fix this?

    After getting my 2009 imac's HDD repaired the super drive wont work anymore... How can I resolve this?!

    I think you need to contact the repairer, and explain the problem as something may not have been reconnected properly on the re-assembly. That is not to be assumed as fact, so taking a diplomatic approach along these lines in negotiation would be in your interest.

  • Only have finder after upgrade - lost all settings

    I have a 4 month old iMac. I had the automatic update on, and it downloaded and installed. After rebooting I now dont have a desktop, dock etc. I only have a blue screen with Finder and the apple icon on the top right hand corner does not allow me to do anything - help? any suggestions

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
    You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
    You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

    Adding my fix to this thread from: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190067?start=15&tstart=0
    I just got SAM working on my iMac running Lion.
    Use Pacifist to force an install of JavaForMacOSX10.6Update5.pkg (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1360) then install the JavaForMacOSX10.7.dmg (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421) on top of that. Copy the Safari 5.0.5 from a SL machine or use Pacifist to extract the app.
    Still does not run under 5.1 but at least I have a working solution. Let me know if anyone needs help.

  • PC is not going to sleep or shut down after upgrade to Windows10

    Hello,I upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to win 10.Now when I close the lid or press the power button, the computer turns the screen off, turns the WIFI off, no more hard disk activity but it is not going to sleep.Also when I shut it down it goes throught the same procedure but never turns off.To start again, I have to keep pressing the power button to turn it off, then turn it on again.I did the powercfg - energy and got this in the report, "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend"When the computer had just started, I don't get that message, it also goes to sleep and shuts down normally, while later, I get this message in the report and no longer sleeps or shuts down.Any suggestion ??Thanks

  • Since upgrading my 3GS to IOS5, I have lost all my contacts, calendar inputs, and photos. How can I retrieve?

    All media should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    Her contacts would be wherever she put them
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

  • HT201263 I would like retrieve all my data from my IPhone 4S after I lost all my data! Please help! ? Thank You.

    I would like retrieve all my data from my IPhone 4S after I lost all my data due constant Apple logo on! After I restored this phone I lost all my contacts, text messages, pictures, videos..!!! The question I have is if I never backed up to iCloud and iTunes is there any way I can retrieve all my data that was before restoring this iPhone 4S. Please help! ? I greatly appreciated !!!

    If you never synced your phone to your computer and your contacts were not synced to iCloud or another cloud-based service, everything is gone. You will have to start fro scratch.
