LifeDrive can not be hard reseted

Hi Dear Alan G.
Thank you for the quick reply and sorry for the my late response.
(a)When the LifeDrive is restarted I can hear the hard disk spanning (like the sound of analogy wall clock) for 1 minutes then it become silent.
(b) When I shake the device gently the motion of hard disk can be hear.
(c)Further if it is plugged into AC power the light (LED) at the top shows orange (amber) color and never changes the color.
Today when I tried "hard reset" for this
(1) The power button is pressed and hold to right direction then the reset button is pressed gently.
(2) From the menu "Secure erase" is selected after that anther screen can just with work "secure erase".
(3) There was no other option therefore I wait for one hour but there was no progres
(4) Also nothing when the LifeDrive is restarted it stuck at the startup with "plamone" showing on the screen.
Please tell me what should I do?
With best regards;
Bashir Ahmad.

Received App Error 603, now I can't connect to BlackBerry Desktop to backup or sync contacts/notes before hard reset

Hi,
For the past several days, my BlackBerry Bold 9650 has been resetting frequently (often going to a white screen reading "App Error 603"), losing access to applications, and generally acting terribly. I have essentially lost the ability to use it in any meaningful way (the phone features work rarely, e-mail, not at all). I took it into Sprint and was told that a hard reset would have to be performed, but that I should backup my contacts and notes via BlackBerry Desktop, prior to doing so. However, thought the Desktop launches when I connect to my MacBook Air, and the status bar says "Connecting," once it stops saying "Connecting," when I click on the device icon in the upper left, it says "(Not connected)," so I cannot backup or sync the data.
Could you please let me know how to backup my contacts and notes before I have the hard reset done, since I desperately need them?
Thank you very much!

By the way, while the Desktop software says that the Bold 9650 is "(Not Connected)," it does seem to know it's connected to some kind of BlackBerry device. The status bar stops saying "Connecting..." and, when I phyiscally disconnect the Bold, the status bar then reads, "Device Disconnected."
Thanks again!

9630 Keyboard/Buttons not working; hard resets and multiple reloads of OS did not correct

My BlackBerry 9630 Tour is a little more than a year old. Yesterday the keyboard, trackball, and all buttons stopped working while I was typing out an email. I could not power off the Blackberry without removing the battery for a hard reset. Unfortunately, even after many hard resets, the problem persisted, so I went to the forums for help and tried everything that seemed relevant (multiple times) with no success.
After reviewing a number of tech support posts, this problem does not appear to be unique to any given model of BB and contact with liquids is cited as a common but not the only cause for this condition.
I was outside on a very hot and humid day when the malfunction occurred so it is possible some perspiration may have come into contact with the keypad, convenience buttons, or trackball and caused the lockup.
I'm looking for someone with more smarts than me to help me troubleshoot, identify the actual problem, and identify the proper corrective actions. See below for a synopsis of my actions taken, with the exception of taking it to the shop for repair/replacement.
The corrective actions listed on the forums and blogs are varied but essentially fall into two primary solutions:
1. If moisture is suspected to be the issue, let the BB dry out overnight
    a. Pull the battery, naturally air dry or use a blow dryer, let it sit unplugged with no battery for at least 12 hours
    b. If this doesn't immediately work, try a clean install of the OS (see below)
    c. If this doesn't work, take to the shop and they'll either replace the keyboard and/or trackball or replace entire unit
2. If moisture is not suspected to be a factor then perform a backup followed by a clean install of OS
     a. Backup your files using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore
     b. Do a clean reinstall OS using Desktop Manager Application Loader
         i. The OS installation process is dicey and takes a little patience and focus-- you have to wait for the Desktop Manager to properly recognize the device before it can proceed on some of the steps and it may take several iterations to get completely through the process and get the "successful installation" message.
         ii. Further, you may need to keep the battery removed during the initial steps in the process and only insert it when the process gets to the point of actually trying to copy files into the BB memory
            * The BB LCD will display an icon that looks like a battery with a slash through it letting you know the process cannot proceed until a battery is inserted and the Desktop Manager Application Loader will also give you an error indicating it cannot find the device.
            * After inserting the battery, it will take a few seconds or more for the computer to recognize the USB device and for Desktop Manager to respond with the BB password pop-up window.
            * After typing in your BB password, the installation should continue.
    c. If you can get the OS successfully reloaded and your keyboard/trackball/buttons work -- great -- now restore your files and settings using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore and get on with your life.
    d. If this does NOT work after multiple successful clean OS installations apparently you are completely hosed; the only other option is to get it to the shop for repair or replacement.
1.. Does anyone have a troubleshooting procedures that will identify whether moisture is the root cause or not?
2. Is there another corrective procedure that's been missed?

Took BB to Sprint Store and technician took it apart, saw no evidence of moisture or any other damage, and concluded that the keyboard had failed. Not an uncommon occurance.
Also, he told me you cannot simply replace the keyboard, it is integral to the systemboard, so you need to replace the entire device.
He did commend the troubleshooting approach used prior to going to the store -- most folks won't take the time to do even basic troubleshooting (like taking out the battery), they just go to the store and say "fix it please". He confirmed that the steps outlined in the initial post were correct and did not have any other solutions.
Take away:
If you want to do some troubleshooting yourself to check for moisture, the process was pretty straightforward. After watching the technician, most folks with a little technical or mechanical aptitude should be able to manage the dismantling process. You just need a small phillips head screwdriver and a little patience. Good lighting and a magnifying glass or reading glasses also help!

3.1 upgrade busted phone, now can't do hard reset!!

APPLE PLEASE HELP AND SORT THIS OUT!!!
I have a brand new 32GB 3GS phone and it's busted already! It was working fine before the 3.1 upgrade. I have looked at the discussion boards and tried a few things but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm not impressed at all. I'm a brand new Apple customer and so far my first impressions are not good!
My phone is completely dead. I can't switch it on or do a hard reset (holding down both buttons)WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW?? Can anyone help me, please??

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

IPad not starting, hard reset did not fix it

I read many questions about my issue, including page 170 of the manual but nothing seems to work. My iPad won't start at all but when plugged into an outlet, it will intermittently flash the apple logo. I tried hard reset multiple times. When it's plugged into an outlet and I try the hard reset (home button and sleep/wake button pressed simultaneously), eventually I receive the image to plug the USB into iTunes. I unplug it from the wall and plug it into my Mac but as soon as I unplug it from the wall, the iPad goes black and is unresponsive. iTunes will not recognize the device. If it's plugged into my Mac via the USB, the hard reset doesn't work. I charged it over night thinking it was a power issue but that hasn't helped either. It worked find a few months ago but now nothing. I don't know what to do.

Sorry to hear that it couldn't be fixed! I've been experiencing what sounds like the same problem. Came home from vacation and it just wouldn't turn on. I also get the apple icon briefly when it's plugged in. I can't remember if it was plugged in when I was gone or not, but it was fine when I left, so it's a complete mystery why it would just stop working. I don't have a surge protector where I often charge it; could a power surge be the cause?

Can not see hard drive on desktop after reinstalling Mountain Lion

I have erased my hard drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and now I can not see the MacIntosh HD on the desk top. Downloaded the most recent updates and restarted but still do not see the hard drive on the desk top. Any ideas?

Open Finder preferences and on the general tab check Hard disks for Show these items on the desktop.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

System can not find hard disk

After starting up my macbook Air, a blinking question mark pops up. I switch off the laptop. Restart the laptop with 'ALT' button pressed. 'Disk Utility program' does not show the 'macintosh HD' disk. So apparently it can not find it. Your advice is appreciated, how I can refind the hard disk

thanks, unfortunately no positive impact. Hard disk can still not be found. I also executed the tips as mentioned in:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
and these also did not resolve the issue. So any other suggestion is welcome

Can not use hard drive on pc now that i have on mac

I got a new external hard drive to transfer files from one computer to another . once i did so , my macbook asked me if i wanted to back up my computer to the drive , i thought why not . so i did but now the hard drive is not even recodnise on any other computer . Do i have to restore the hard drive ?

you can partition HALF the new HD in EXFAT for use between Mac and PC for read/write.
A better option is buy a second HD and format it in EXFAT, you need 2 copies of your valuable data anyway. Data safeguarding is computer use #1 "law"
things crash, hard drives crash, ......ALWAYS have 2 copies of important data.
Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none
Always consider and expect your computer’s hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and you should keep a backup AND an archived copy

My macbook (born 2006, mac os x snowleopard) broke down. I started again with DVD, but can not find hard disc, to repair it - can any body help me, pleeeeease?

I´m writing with macbook pro of my daughter now and ugentnly need to start my macbook as soon as possible. could any body help me??? (sorry, my english is a not so well) andrea from berlin

Since you have the system disks, you can try running the Apple Hardware Test, that should confirm if the drive is dead or not. You'll use the disk that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label.

Can Not Verify Hard Disk

I was trying to install Windows XP on my iMac using Boot Camp, but during the disk partition phase, I got an error message saying that "The Disk Could Not Be Partitioned Because the Disk Could Not Be Verified." So I opened up Disk Utility and tried to verify the disk and the result is "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS voluem checked. Volume needs repair." However, the "Repair Disk" option is not available. Please Help!
iMac Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well,it wasn't only about reinstalling and took me five minutes to fix the problem.
-Search your installation DVD's.
-Insert the disc 1 and sthut down your Mac
-Start your Mac again while holding down the C key
-Now your Mac should boot from the CD, this can take some time.
-After a while you will see a installation screen where you can chose a language.
-Chose English and continue.
-Then click some time's next and agree with the "Software Agreement".
-Open Disk Utility. Top menu bar --> Utilities --> Open Disk Utility.
-Select your hard disk in the list of disks and volumes on the left side
-Go to the First Aid (tab somewhere on the right).
-Click the button to verify the permissions.
-Then Click the button to repair the permissions.
-Click the button to verify the disk.
-Then Click the button to repair the disk.
-Exit the Disk Utility and the installer.
-Restart your Mac

HTC Incredible reboot fix that works and does NOT require hard reset

Like many of you unfortunate souls out there I have had my HTC Incredible go into a rebooting loop over the last month or so. The following recounts some observations and and a solution which appears to work.
First off, my son and I both have the same phone and software versions and apps. He does NOT get email on his phone because he does not want to. I do. His phone has NEVER rebooted. Mine has done so numerous times. My business partner also has the identical phone and software version, lives within 200 yards of me, and uses the email and has had numerous reboots and has gotten them even sooner than I saw them at first. My partner and I have set up email attachments and downloads to go to the SD card. So much for background info. Here is what I did to fix the problem followed by some other observations:
Open up the case of the phone and remove the battery
Remove the SD card from the phone.
Put it into an adapter that allows you to access files directly on your computer. In my case this was a Windows PC running Windows 7.
Mount the SD card in your computer and open up the browser to see the files on the SD card.
Look for a folder called ".Mail"
If your phone is like mine you will see hundreds of files, some of zero length. This was even though I had deleted most of the emails I received on my phone.
Proceed to directly delete any of the zero length files. For that matter, you may have other files like jpg's laying around of uncertain origin. I got rid of these and other strange files that seemed attached to no documents at all.
Remove the SD card and reinsert into your phone. Put the battery back in and the cover on then restart the phone. Your phone should run properly and you should not see any negative consequences from the files you deleted previously.
Some other observations relevant to this solution that bolsters my theory that this problem has something to do with the email application and also a problem with file system corruption on the SD card as a consequence of it.
I had previously seen the email application put some mail from a different account I was using into my main account. The files could not be deleted and even trying to do so would cause the mail app to force close.
My son has never seen the problem despite being in the same environment with the same phone and software. Relevant difference to me was that he was NOT using email and I was.
The email app clearly has bugs if it is leaving behind hundreds of files even if you delete the emails. Why? As a software engineer my first instinct would be to look to see if the file system locks were properly synchronized when the email app is writing to the flash file system. I am not conversant in Android OS programming nor the app code itself so this is speculative on my part. I would also look for a timeout on reboots if file system enumerations take too long. Lots of files on a system might trigger a premature timeout and reboot. Once again, this is speculative on my part but I sure wish I had the code to debug this myself.
These issues seem to coincide with a rapid rise in network traffic most likely because of the iPad 2/iPhone support by Verizon. I wonder if this additional traffic load on the network is opening up timing holes in the software because of backoff and retry intervals for certain apps. Once again I suspect the email app especially because it is vulnerable to network traffic issues as it tries to get email account updates.
I could be wrong about my theory as to why the problem is happening. My solution seems to work. As far as pulling the battery and putting it near your AC in the car, that did NOT work for me at all. Leaving the phone out of its protective case also had no effect. Only screwing with the files on the SD card mattered.
I hope this helps.

This problem has been seen for MONTHS now by people besides myself. My business partner is about to put a bullet in his phone because this has been happening for far longer than mine. I have little confidence in a fix anytime soon because this problem has been persistent for some time and there is a lot of denial in the field by Verizon. Verizon has to depend on HTC and Google besides themselves for fixes. How much would you like to wager on how this business relationship is working out? The first step in any solution is for a company to take some responsibility for it and so far no company has.
