  • How to reformat a compact flash card

    Hi I'm Russell, my hobby is to occasionally take photos with my Canon 7D. Well last time i took photos what happened was
    when it came down to uploading them to my computer, i transferred them and i think i might of improperly ejected my dolgix
    133x 32GB Compact Flash card. And now i am not able to use it in my camera. It says, No Card or Card Not Found. I was
    wondering if someone knows how to reformat them. If so, Please help.. I can't use my camera until i fix the problem...Thanks
    In advance.

    Some camera manufacturers insist that you format it in the camera; so, if you can format it on the Mac using Disk Utility, I'd suggest inserting it in the camera after that and see if you can format it there. I usually erase mine (also Canon camera) on the Mac, but do occasionally format them in the camera.

  • HP Mini 5101 ***Speakers Crackle*** Guys Please HELP ME!!!

    Hello guys,
    Ive been browsing the forums but no luck with this issue.
    I installed a Windows XP Pro SP3 on my HP Mini 5101. I also installed the appropriate drivers for this machine. All works well but got a problem in my speakers. A crackling noise in my speaker whenever I play videos, music and even system sound. 
    My speakers crakle. Please help me how to fix this issue. Thanks.
    Additional info:
    ROM Date: 9/25/2009
    ROM BIOS Version: F.02

    If this problem occurred following the update, do a system restore back to a date before you updated.  If that works you can then run the updates again.  Perhaps something got corrupted as it loaded.
    You could also try running the harddrive test in the BIOS.  The test not only checks your hdd, but it can repair minor glitches it finds in some software.  I had a sound issue that was magically repaired after I ran the test for another problem, so give it a shot.  It takes about 1.5 hrs to run.
    Use the following steps to run the test:
    If the computer is running, shut it down.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Press f10 when the HP/Compaq logo displays.
    Use the arrow keys to select the Diagnostic menu.
    Select HDD Self-Test Options , and then press Enter .
    Select the Notebook Hard Drive option, and then press f10 to display an Estimated test time .
    Press f10 to continue. The Hard Drive Self Test executes the SMART test, along with a Quick test and a Comprehensive test.
    After the test completes, be sure to restart the computer to determine if the test repaired the problem.

  • Reinstalling XP on Mini 5101

    Hi there,
    I have some issue with my HP mini 5101 and I try to reformat and reinstall XP onto my 5101. What happen was after i insert the XP CD into my usb ext cd rom and boot up with it. The problem i'm facing is, windows xp will auto load all the neccessary drivers and start up windows and when it start up, it tells me that it can't detect any harddisk for reinstallation. Anyone has encounter any similar problems and perhaps provide me some advise?
    Thanks
    Jim 

    Yes all the time. You need the SATA driver incorporated into the XP disk or loaded at the initial F6 prompt when installing XP by way of a usb floppy disk.
    You can make a new XP CD incorporating the driver very easily. Use nLite...www.nliteos.com
    The directions at the website could not be better.

  • How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

    Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

  • How to reformat a Macbook pro 2011 hard drive?

    Hello,
    How do you reformat a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) 2011s Hard drive? I already backed up all the files I wanted to save. But since I have the new Macbook pro 2011 (only a few months since I got it) it didn't come with an installation disc, but instead already came with all the applications. I'm wondering how to reformat the hard drive so it wipes out everything and I can start fresh and what would happen to all the applications?

    Well Lion has a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can access by holding command r and booting, there you can erase the Lion OS X partition completely (all files and programs) and reinstall Lion or simply reinstall Lion if there is a issue with it (no programs or files are touched in this second procedure)
    Lion is downloaded from apple's servers, you need AppleID and a fast reliable internet connection with no bandwidth caps limiting you.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you want to replace the drive, there is software called Carbon Copy Cloner than can clone both the Lion OS X Partition and the Lion Recovery Partition to a external drive intact (excpet what's in the Trash, no Filevualt, no bootcamp, use free Winclone for that)
    Hold the option key and you can boot from the external drive and format and clone everything to the new internal drive. TimeMachine of 10.7.2 and later can be booted from it's Lion Recovery Parttion as well just to restore only, cloning is better process because it gives full access to everything like before on the internal drive.
    http://www.bombich.com/index.html
    Some newer Mac's have Lion Internet recovery built in where the firmware will install the Lion Recovery/OS back onto a completely blank/new hard drive.

  • HT2513 how do I get the mini calendar flap on iCal 5.0.3

    how do I get the mini calendar flap on iCal 5.0.3. Lion 10.7.5

    I finally did get the issues resolved by going here: http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2011/10/fix-for-extension-signature-bug-on-mac-os-10-7.html and using that fix.
    It took several tires but I finally got it to work correctly.
    I tried using the update I downloaded from the Adobe updates page and that was what giving the error in my original post. Also, if I tried using the "get Updates" directly out of Extensions Manager, because i have several version of CS running on my workstation, it would invariably either tell me there were no updates or get the wrong version of the update. (The version I was looking to update was 5.0.289)
    The botom line being, I did finally get the Extensions Manager working correctly.
    Appreciate your response though. Thanks.

  • Hp Mini 5101 Freezes While Installing Windows....All versions, xp,vista,7,8.....Nothing Takes

    I refurbish companies retired computers as part of my business, part of our agreement is the machines all come blank, they delete partitions and wipe the entire hdd multiple times prior to my getting them, Most are as simple as reinstalling windows and any missing drivers and they are complete machines again, I currently have been working on an hp mini 5101 off and on for a couple of weeks now that I have been unable to get to take a copy of windows, and I have tried them all, xp, vista, 7, 8 and none have taken, I tried running ubuntu as a live cd and same as windows during the gui windows loading screen the machine freezes, I even tried popping the hdd out and throwing it into my other hp machine and doing a windows install with an hp windows 7 32 bit install disc, when installed hdd back in machine it again freezes when it reaches the animated windows graphic, I have searched forums, here and the internet in general, and have found no other mention of this occuring, i have found reference to the screen doesnt support it so people see the vista screen instead but i see the windows 7 screen then freeze during the animation. I am assuming (yes i know what happens when you assume, thats why i am here asking for help) this is somehow bios related from their prior use of the machine, I had some toshibas that come in that required a certian mode be changed from ahci to compatablity in order to install windows, I know that the company that had it got it with a vista key and an xp downgrade, I am trying to install 7 on it.
    Any other information I may have left out let me know,
    Thank you for any help you may be able to give

    Hi MidwayIT,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Mini 5101 and freezing after loading Windows. If it freezes on the loading screen it could be the graphics card. Have you performed a hardware test?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
    There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
    If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
    Buy a new Drive. Or  two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
    If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.

  • How can I get Mac Mini to accept bootable installers for Mountain Lion ? They work fine on MB-Pro

    I've had a Mac Mini (late 2012) for the past week and need to do a complete reinstall to get rid of very mucked up Server.app settings that I can't get rid of even though I uninstalled Server.app and what I thought were all of its Library files. I need to get the Mac Mini back to pristine, factory default to start over. Then I'll be able to put Server.app into a VM so I can trash it if need be without mucking up the rest of my system.
    I have both a bootable recovery partition on an external hard drive (My Book firewire) and a USB bootable installer with a fresh edition of Mountain Lion. I know the USB installer works just fine because I used it to do a clean install of my MacBook-Pro just last night. Went like a charm.
    When I start up the Mac Mini with the option key held down, everything seems fine -- I see both the USB drive and the My Book's 2 volumes (1 for data, 1 for the Recovery partition). But when I select either the USB drive or the My Book Recovery partition as the start-up drive, I get a screen with a circle with a line across (the no-entry traffic sign), with no way to go back or forward. So the computer has to be rebooted.
    Any suggestions as to how to get the Mac Mini to recognize bootable installers that MacBooks are able to see?

    Late 2012 Mac mini uses a special Mountain Lion version that it's only compatible with this Mac and you can only get on Internet Recovery because it's not available in the App Store. If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, press Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting
