External keeps kicking out

I have a 500gb Lacie external drive. Im trying to organize some files, moving all project files onto one drive (a 2gb internal drive) so Im trying to copy the files from the Lacie to the 2GB internal, but Lacie keeps kicking out and saying "device removed improperly" or something to that effect.
(if its failing, I especially want to get stuff off it)
since it has kicked out several times now, if I try to recopy the files, i get the option, to "replace already existing files" but should I un-check that and say "dont replace" will that duplicate the files or will it ignore them?
if it ignores them, that would be great but if its going to duplicated them (in lieu of "replacement") I don't want that.
whats with electronics anyway? this drive it not that old! under a year!
... and how do I know if its in fact Lacie, or the G5 port?

Ive got two "duals"... one was supposed to be a really bullet proof one, Firemax its called but the chip set was never good from day one! I tried to get the company to send me a new chipset but they wouldent. the drives tested good but the enclosure is useless! it has an 800 port.
I was thinking something like this....

this one seems really cheap! probably something wrong with it?...

Do you also connect the external USB drive to the AC power as well while you use it ?
Sometimes USB external drive problems are resolved simply by plugging them into the mains power and trying again.

My iPad keeps kicking out of an app. How do I stop this?

How do I stop my iPad from kicking out of an app while I'm using it. Like while I'm playing Angry Birds it will kick back to my main screen.

I have the original iPad & have been having the same issue for weeks nowb I am really getting frustrated.
At first I thought maybe it was just the app & I needed to update it.
-- Nope. Not it. Not only did it not show up as 1 of the apps that needed an update, but it started happening to alot of my apps. Nothing worse than finally beating a level of your game & having it suddenly quit & lose everything.
Then I thought maybe I didn't have the right IOS.
-- Nope. Not it. I've checked in my settings & it says I have the latest (5.1.1). Still not convinced, I plugged into my laptop to sync & hope there was an update. Nope. Says I have the latest version.
Then I think it's a memory thing. So I start going thru & deleting apps I don't really use anymore.
-- Nope. No help. Turns out I'm not even using half my available memory.
So I start researching what the Internet says latest IOS is. I find out it says the latest iPad operating version is IOS 6.
-- I get excited because I think I found the reason. Nope! Turns out that the original iPads can't update to the IOS 6. :( They can't go higher than the 5.1.1 that I already have. Now I'm really not happy.
I decide to google my problem & see if I'm the only one this is happening to.
-- Nope! I find this is happening to a lot of people. I see all the different advice: clear the app tray, restart your iPad, check your memory... Though I'm grateful for people trying to help, none of it works. :(
I am really getting frustrated!!!! It's taken everything I have to not throw the dang thing off a balcony. I can't really enjoy doing anything on it anymore. Almost every game I get into, it randomly quits. Especially aggravating when it's a game that has limited play.
I really hope Apple fixes this!!!! I love Apple & all my gear is Apple products. But I don't really have the funds to just drop money on a newer one that does actually work. My iPad is still in perfect shape in every other way. I really can't afford to just go out & buy one because they don't want to give us a functioning updated operating system.
APPLE, please help!!!! I beg you!!!

Home burned DVD keeps kicking out

I have a recent 2010-2011 iMac and so does my sister. She burned a DVD with hundreds of photos on it in iPhoto and sent it to me. At the time she was given a prompt that it would be a Mac-only read. I pop it in mine and it thinks for a few minutes.....never shows up on the desktop....then kicks it back out.
I've put in a DVD movie and that plays fine.
Any ideas? Was it the way it was burned? I can see the imprint on the back of the disk so there appears to be something on it.

Yes, it kicks me out of Safari and Maps. Both are web apps. A really large page in Safari seems to kick me out most frequently. (Ironically, the Engadget in depth iPhone review is particualy bad in this regard.)
I have been kicked out of iPod but only when I was running Safari. That could be a coincidence, or not. Too soon for me to tell. But I can watch a 1 hour video podcast without interruption, so I suspect it is the web connection that is involved.
It recovers gracefully from these crashes, but they happen fairly frequently and it is still frustrating. I assume this will be high priority for thm to fix.

Disk drive keeps kicking out when a new disc is put in.

Anyone,
I just got a new disc, which plays well in the car, but when I bring it in the house and put it in the
Lenovo G575, it just kicks it out and states in the dialog box, Insert a disc into Drive F. I then
bought a new pack of CD's and for everyone of them, I am getting the same message.
Can someone let me know what they think the problem would be and how I can resolve this.
Thanx so much in advance.
Jerry

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
It seems there is some mechanical issue or dust in the drive which is hampering the disk to fit in the driver
Please visit Lenovo Service center to have it fixed
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

Our iPad air keep kicking out of the Apple TV. None of the other iPads we have on the same network and the same content do this. The program kicks off the AppleTV and starts playing on the iPad about every 10 minute

We have used the 2 Apple TVs and the 5 different IPads successfully on both Apple TVs. But the iPad air, on the same content, on the same network, on the same Apple TV drops off the Apple TV and the content starts playing on the iPad. When we choose Apple TV on the AirPlay button, it starts playing on the TV again. It does this about 6-7 times an hour. We have the latest software update. We have also deleted and reinstalled the App to play the context (iView) and it still does this.

Hey there TandViv,
It sounds like your other iPads work correctly when Airplaying to your Apple TV, but one disconnects about ever 10 mintues or so. I have a few thoughts for this issue you are seeing. First, try closing all the apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists try resetting the network settings on the phone and see how that works:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

ITunes is not working I iPhone keeps cutting out

Since I upgraded my Ipad2 with IOS6, i keep getting kicked out of Safari after I am in the middle of looking for something and on Ebay it continually kicks me back to the first item if I click to see a picture, say after I am 150 items down. Even CNN too

Since I upgraded my Ipad2 to IOS6, I keep getting kicked out of Safari after I am in the middle of searching for something. Also, Ebay kicks me back to first item if I click on an item, say number 153 or 642! Very annoying. Even CNN kicked me out back to Ipad home screen last night! How do I make it stop???

My question is this:
What is the best way of getting the pictures out of the iPhoto Library? I
Select the photos you want out and export them as JPGEs - kind = current for the current edited version - kind = original for the original
f I get access to the original folders within the library by right-clicking any photo and then being able to browse inside the library, am I going to have any problems if I copy or move those original pictures directly to a folder outside of the iPhoto Library?
Copying photos out will not be a problem if you make no errors - for me that is not a good bet - it is best to stay out of yoru iPhoto library
Would it be better to export the pictures?
Yes
Does exporting using "current" under "Kind" give you the original more safely?
No - it gives you the current version which may be the original if no changes have been made or will be the current edited version if edits ahve been made
Also, any suggestions on how to best have photos OUTSIDE of an iPhoto library organized so that iPhoto can reference them, but your backup is also organized?
In the iPhoto preferences un check the advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library"
HOWEVER - this is not recommended - it makes importing more complicated, deleting more complicated and makes replacing a hard drive or going to a new computer much more difficult - and it puts you totally in charge of your original photos - being sure that they are there and do not get moved
I'd like to have my photos organized by date in the backup as well, so that I don't have to backup all my pictures every time I add new ones, just add the latest to the backup drive.
Finally, any suggestions on what to do with pictures that you scan so that they appear by the date they were taken as opposed to the date they were scanned? Is there a way to modify the date of the photo info?
Select the photos in iPhoto and use the batch change command under the photos menu - the tiem and date option

External HDD keeps dropping out (without ejecting itself) ~ due to 1 bad partition

Hi,
As stated above, my faithful WD 1TB MyPassport HDD keeps dropping out by itself, ie. icon disappears from my desktop and I get left with a 'eject before disconnect...' message.
At first it would appear to be a cable/USB/corrupt disk issue, BUT..........this is only happening since I tried to delete a partition using DiskUtility, (I have 2 partitions, I'll refer to the one I was trying to delete 'Partition1'), halfway through this my Mac froze. I'm using a macbookpro[Alu][intel][OSX10.8.4] and an iMac[10.8.4 again].
Symptoms....
1. On reset I found that Partition1 showed up in gray in DiskUtility, but not on the desktop.
2. Partition2 shows up fine, on desktop and in DiskUtility.
3. After a minute or so both partitions dissappear and I get my familiar 'you should have ejected' message.
All I want to do now is repair the permissions, verify the disk or delete Partition1...but because the drive keeps disappearing I'm a bit stuck. If I can just get the data from Partition2 before it all drops out then I can cope with binning the rest of the drive.
I've tried....
1. different equipment [cables, different macs (macbook and iMac), hubs and USB ports]
2. using DiskArbitrator to allow the drive to stay connected
3. using KeepDriveSpinning for the same reason
4. smashing my head against a brick wall
Please help....
Thanks in advance,
Grant

It certainly may be. I do not trust Western digital external drives. I've have several of them fail and it was not the physical drive that failed it was the enclosure electronics. Once I removed the physical drive from the WD enclosure and connect it with a IDE/SATA to USB adapter the actual drives were fine and I'm still using all of them.
It also might be your Mac as these WD Passport drives are USB powered and Mac's are notorious for not putting out enough power on the USB ports to complete power up some of these type drives. There are numerous thread on how a warning will come up thjat the USB port has been disabled because something it drawing to much power from it. And that is with nothing at all connected to any of the USB ports.
Only way to test it to take the drive out of the WD enclosure and use one of those IDE/SATA to USB adapters and see if the same thing happens.

Facebook keeps kicking me out on my iPad

Wondering why my iPad keeps kicking me out of Facebook? Is anyone having this problem. I have reset my iPad alway.

Please notice there is two different issues here. The constantly logging out issues is already in many other treads, please keep them alive there. What this guy asking is the same problem I have, and it is not a new issue: When using the newest Skype on IPad 2, it is only logged in when you are in the app. Shortly after you start using another app Skype is logging out. Result; you can only use Skype for IPad if that is the only thing you are using your IPad for. In other words you cannot get calls or live chat except you know it will be coming. This practically makes Skype useless. Any idea of a soultion or whatever microsoft know it is an issue? (The soultion is to divert all calls to your phone and tranfer chat as text message, but it is not free)

Macbook/System keeps kicking me out..

Hi,
I have a major problem, everytime I login to my macbook, it keeps kicking me back out to the "login" screen. I can see the desktop for about 10 seconds before it happens.
Also, everytime I manage to get in, in those few seconds I keep getting a pop-up telling me airport "could not open the communication device"
Can anyone shed some light as to why this is happening...Virus maybe?

Have you tried booting up in 'Safe Mode' ?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset.

I keep getting kicked out of games.

I keep getting kicked out of my games. Just got a replacement iPad

What have you tried to fix it ? Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's taskbar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing if that makes any difference ?
To close all apps, double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. (With iOS 7 you swipe or drag an app's screen from the taskbar up and off the top of the screen to close it.)
A soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Keep getting kicked out of apps or videos or Facebook when they are loading. Data usage says low memory...

I keep getting kicked out if apps Facebook or videos as they load... Under data usage sent to apple it says low memory, how do I correct this?

HOw much empty space do you have on your device? If it's trying to download or buffer the video and there's not enough local storage then it may kick up an error
