Hp simple save model md1000h

I have this external drive that will not respond . I am running windows 7. When I click on the HP launcher it will ask to format the drive. I do not want to loose my back-up information.

Just a quick note:
Simple Save is just the backup software that came with that external Drive when you purchase it. Assuming you have not done anything unusual to the disk drive, it is just a normal drive containting a normal folder and sub-folder structure within it.
Open a Windows Explorer window (called File Explorer on Windows 8) and scroll down along the left side -- you should see a list of your "mounted" disk drives, one of which will be that external drive. For example, your main disk is your "C" drive. This external disk will have a different label / name. Maybe it will be "F" or something along with the name "Simple Save" or some such thing.
If the drive is at all able to accept input, you might be able to just click into the contents - that is, just click into the disk like you would any other folder. If it accepts that and all seems well, it may be the program launcher that is out-of-whack.
You might be able to run Error Checking on the disk ... depends on what it does when you try to access it using normal Windows commands. IF you can at least look at the data, you might want to try and copy the most important files first... on the other hand, the disk may be fragile and unstable. You will have to look and decide the best course.
Right Click on the Disk > Properties > Tools > Error checking

Simple Save HP MD1000H on Mac

Simple Save support helped me get this loaded on my MAC. How do I activate the download?

Hi,
No by definition, you can connect it to a router which supports sharing USB external HDD. There are many around such as a Netgear D6300 (which I'm using now) but definitely not NAS. In short you can share it on your homw network but not as a NAS by definition.

Simple save

my computer is not recognizing the simple save. it will not appear on the printer etc folder. how can i get software to download and try and figure out why all of a sudden the simple save it not working.

Hello fredsfriend,
I am not sure if I can help but I will give it a shot. Remember on a forum you have to be very literal as a persons intension or meaning can be misinterpreted.
So I dont know what "the simple save" is unless you mean the program you are using simply wont "Save" a document and such.
Also I'm not sure what "printer etc folder" is. Do you mean you are scanning a document and it will not "Save" on your computer or you cannot find where the Save option is?
If I am on the understanding you correctly, tell me what computer and model number you have.
How to find my Desktop PC model number
How to find my Laptop PC model number
Tell me what the operating system version is too. Windows XP or Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.
Also if using a printer, tell me what the model number is for that too.

If your having trouble with a certain program, tell me what the program is and the steps you are taking to use it when it fails.
Im at work right now and will be back later today to check on your post.

HP Simple Save external hard drive not recognized on laptop.

I have tried plugging it into different USB ports on same laptop or a completely different desktop. It is never recognized. last week it was. I took it apart & tried it in a 3.5 SATA external closure. Still is not recognized. I have info on it that i desperately need. Is there any way for me to get my files off of it?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news; this vintage drive might have died.
If you are lucky, it is only the power supply, although this is a thin hope and is not based at all on the facts.
Depending on your level of desperation, you might consider taking the drive to a forensic specialist.
My own Simple Save drive died suddenly one day about five months ago after several years of good service. Fortunately, I never depend on only one device for backups, else they are not backups, but instead become single points of certain failure.
I hope you find a viable solution.
We have other posts here on the forum on the subject; you might do a search and see what others have said.
I grieve for your loss.

I have a huge iphoto library and an HP simple save hard drive which has been mac formated.

the discssion board states to close iphoto, go to folders, locate, click and drag library to new location (ie-my HP simple save which has been formated to mac) When I look in my libraries, I have several for libraries, including some that say 6.
When I open one, not all my photos are contained, only a part of my entire iphoto library
which one do I use--and how can to confirm that ALL my photos are on my external hard drive?
thank you for your help---
[email protected]

Open a Finder Window and go to your Username then to the Pictures folder. In there you will find a file, actually a folder but I won't get into that, called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary". It is that files (Folder listed as a Package) you need to Copy to your external drive.

Why is the transaction log file not truncated though its simple recovery model?

My database is simple recovery model and when I view the free space in log file it shows 99%. Why doesn't my log file truncate the committed
data automatically to free space in ldf file? When I shrink it does shrink. Please advice.

If log records were never deleted(truncated) from the transaction log it wont show as 99% free.Simple recoveyr model
Log truncation automatically frees space in the logical log for reuse by the transaction log and thats what you are seeing. Truncation wont change file size. It more like
log clearing, marking
parts of the log free for reuse.
As you said "When I shrink it does shrink" I dont see any issues here. Log truncation and shrink file is 2 different things.

SQL Server Database - Transaction logs growing largely with Simple Recovery model

Hello,
There is SQL server database on client side in production environment with huge transaction logs.
Requirement :
1. Take database backup
2. Transaction log backup is not required. - so it is set to Simple recovery model.
I am aware that, Simple Recovery model also increases the transaction logs same as in Full Recovery model as given on below link.
http://realsqlguy.com/origins-no-simple-mode-doesnt-disable-the-transaction-log/
Last week, this transaction log became of 1TB size and blocked everything on the database server.
How to over come with this situation?
PS : There are huge bulk uploads to the database tables.
Current Configuration :
1. Simple Recovery model
2. Target Recovery time : 3 Sec
3. Recovery interval : 0
4. No SQL Agent job schedule to shrink database.
5. No other checkpoints created except automatic ones.
Can anyone please guide me to have correct configuration on SQL server for client's production environment?
Please let me know if any other details required from server.
Thank you,
Mittal.

@dave_gona,
Thank you for your response.
Can you please explain me this in more details --
What do you mean by one batch ?
1. Number of rows to be inserted at a time ?
2. or Size of data in one cell does matter here.
As in my case, I am clubbing together all the data in one xml (on c# side) and inserting it as one record. Data is large in size, but only 1 record is inserted.
Is it a good idea to shrink transaction log periodically, as it is not happening itself in simple recovery model.
HI Mittal,
Shrinking is bad activity yu should not shrink log files regularly, in rare case if you want to recovery space you may do it.
Have manual chekpoints in Bulk insert operation.
I cannot tell upfront what should be batch size but you can start with 1/4 th of what you are currently inserting.
Most important what does below query return for database
select log_reuse_wait_desc from sys.databases where name='db_name'
The value it returns is what stopping the log from getting cleared and reused.
What is version and editon of SQl server we are talking about. What is output of
select @@version

Restore only latest versions of files in a simple save backup drive

When I go to restore (transfer) files to a new computer from my HP simple save drive, how do I select only the latest backup versions of ALL files (photos, docs, music, etc...)?
Thank you

If you have applied raster layer effects in illustrator, then it won't work because you no longer have a vector image.
What is the zoom factor of your composition window? What is the resolution of your comp window? If you would post a screenshot of your composition with the properties of the layers in question revealed by pressing the u key twice maybe we would have a clue what you are doing wrong. It's quite difficult to come up with an answer with out some details. We need more details.

SQL Server 2012 DB log file doesn't shrink (simple recovery model)

I've found several similar questions in this forum, but none of the answers have resolved my problem: I have a SQL Server 2012 DB using simple recovery model. The MDF file is 12 GB and the LDF file is 10 GB. I'm trying to shrink the size of the
LDF file. I've read that for simple recovery model DBs there are reasons for delaying log file shrinking, but I still can't find a solution based on these reasons.
When I try to shrink it using this command:
DBCC SHRINKFILE(MyDB_log, 1000000)
I get these results, and no change of file size:
DbId FileId CurrentSize MinimumSize UsedPages EstimatedPages8 2 1241328 128 1241328 128
The same results running this:
DBCC SHRINKFILE(MyDB_log, 1000000, TRUNCATEONLY)
There doesn't appear to be any open transactions:
DBCC OPENTRAN()No active open transactions.DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
And this returns NOTHING:
SELECT name, database_id, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM sys.databases WHERE database_id = DB_ID()name database_id log_reuse_wait_descMyDB 8 NOTHING
I've also tried running the following, but nothing useful is returned:
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_tran_database_transactionsSELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE database_id=DB_ID()SELECT * FROM sys.dm_tran_locks WHERE resource_database_id=DB_ID()
Any other suggestions of what I can do to shrink this log file? Or perhaps someone can justify its enormous size?
David Collacott

The answer is pretty simple.
The following code is the problem:
DBCC SHRINKFILE(MyDB_log, 1000000)
You are telling SQL Server that you want to "shrink" the MyDB_log file and the target size is 1TB. Well according to you the MyDB_Log file is well below the 1TB size you are targeting, in fact it's only 10GB so SQL Server is doing precisely what you
are telling it to do.
See, according to the SQL Server documentation
here, target size "Is the size for the file in megabytes, expressed as an integer."
Now if you'd like to actually shrink the log file down to, oh say 1GB, then you should try the following command:
DBCC SHRINKFILE(MyDB_log, 1000)
The theory being 1000 * 1048576 (i.e. 1MB) is equal to 1GB.

HP Simple Save 2 TB External Hard Drive (3.5-inch, USB 2.0) Broken HELP!

OK so I've searched around for a solution to my problem but have found no answer so I'm trying here.
I've had my HP Simple Save 2 TB External Hard Drive for a few of years now, it's served me great, I used it for storing all my photos but the usb connector has snapped off from the small CD drive inside the casing.
This has simply been through use, it was working fine, not wobbly or mistreated in any way, it must have just came to the end of it's life and now I can't hook it up to my computer to get the photos, I'm desperate to get them back, wedding photos, birthdays etc most of you must know how I'm feeling.
So I looked up a few solutions, one was to buy a USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter and use that to connect to the computer, well it works as far as recognising that a device is connected but won't load the files or folders to view.
As I've looked around apparently the small CD drive that's inside the case has software that my computer automatically loads? Now this is where I'm lost, how do I manage to get this to work?
I'm almost at my wits end, as far as looking every single day on Amazon and eBay to buy a new one to transfer the CD drive onto the broken one to load it up and get my photos back, IF that would even work, I'm not sure.
So if you have any suggestions/help please please get in touch, thanks.

In case anyone it´s interested I restore the autorun.inf into the drive and the problem was that I put all the toshiba software into one folder to be more organized. As soon as I place it back again outside the folder (in the root of the hard drive). It grab the canvio image.

Simple Tree Model displays the subtree on second click

Hi,
I want to display a simple tree model structure with root "Tableset" and subnodes like "MARA". If i click on Mara it has to display all the fields from that table.
But it takes two clicks till the subtree opens? I suppose it needs something like a "fresh Tree".
Sinan

Hello Sinan,
you have to call the method expand_root_nodes of the tree model:
CALL METHOD model->expand_root_nodes
          EXPORTING expand_subtree = expand_subtree
                    level_count    = level_count.
expand_subtree:
If you set this parameter to 'X' , the system expands all subtrees of the root nodes
level_count:
Specifies the depth to which the root nodes should be expanded. Possible values:
0
: Only the root nodes themselves are expanded 1
: The root nodes and their first level of child nodes are expanded n
      : The root nodes are expanded down to their nth level of child nodes.
Note: If you set the expand_subtree parameter to 'X' , the value of level_count is ignored.

HP Simple Save Problem

I recently purchased the 1TB HP Simple save external hard drive to back up files on my HP PC. It worked just fine out of the box, but I am not able to reboot my computer with the drive plugged in. If I try to boot up, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I thought the great thing about this unit was that you just leave it plugged in all the time. Am I going to have to unplug the unit every time I want to reboot? Is this normal, or is there some setting I need to change?
Thanks.

My issue was that, after the first use and backup, the HPSS 1.0 TB drive would not start automatically.
Even after going into the drive and clicking on "HP SimpleSave.exe".
Bottom line: Support sent me to:
http://hpsupport.wdc.com/hpsupport/product/download.asp?pid=1&lang=en
Follow the instructions but when you restart...click on the HP Launcher but DO NOT allow any software updates.
I allowed it to download a software update the first time and it has bugs which defeated the whole purpose. So I started again and cancelled all update attempts and my HPSS is now backing up properly.
Hope this helps.

Is it good idea to change Simple Recover Model into Bulk-Logged on ETL system?

We are having an ETL process which inserts lots of data into tables. This database is set to Simple Recovery Model and the transaction log is growing a lot. I was thinking that would it help to set this database into Bulk-Logged Recovery Model? We are
taking full backups on daily basis. So is there some operations which are not logged in Bulk-Logged Recovery Model compared to Simple Recovery Model?

Hi bugarilenet,
Since this is SQL Azure database forum, so we need to verify if you want to change the recovery model on SQL Azure database. If yes, it will fail when change the recovery model to
Bulk-logged, or Simple from Full
model. In Windows Azure SQL database, the Recovery model is set when the master database is created and cannot be modified because the ‘master’ database is read only for anyone but Microsoft. For more information, see:
http://alexandrebrisebois.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/windows-azure-sql-database-cannot-be-set-to-simple-recovery-model/
In addition, if it is on premise SQL database, in simple and bull-logged recovery models some operations can be minimally logged, For example in Simple the older non-active transactions are overwritten when SQL reaches the end of the transaction log, however，in
bulk-logged and full you need to back up the older non-active transactions before the older records can be overwritten. There is more detail about Database Recovery Models in SQL Server, you can review this article.

Hp Simple Save 500gb Drive Not Recognized

Hello! I own the HP Simple Save 500gb external hard drive. I mainly used it on my dell computer, which ran Windows 7. Out of no where it stopped recognizing it all together. I got a new laptop after a year or so, and suprise cant get it to recognize on windows 8 either. Normal I would look into reformatting it etc, however, my brothers wedding photos are on it. I would like to figure out how to be able to access this drive again, on either laptop..I still have both, but would prefer the windows 8 one. Please get back to me as soon as possible!
-AshleyR092

Ashley,
Sorry to hear this. I am a little confused about your time frame here.
It worked on the Dell until a year ago so you bought a windows 8 computer and it worked on that until just recently?
Or it never has been recognized on the Windows 8 computer?
And when you say "not recognized", you cannot see it at all in Disk Management? is this correct?

HP Simple Save Drive now RAW

On Dec 19th my 1.5T Simple Save backup drive was working fine with years of backup data on it. I shut the computer (HP Pavilion d5200t ,W7 64bit) down properly for a vacation. Power was off to the Surge Master supply.
On Dec 30th , boot seemed normal BUT SimpleSave would not load. I eventually found the drive has been changed to RAW and is completely empty. Is there any chance the data can be recovered?
The HPLauncher application is in a separate partition on the drive which still exists.
