Lightscribe Drive NO LONGER Being Recognized

I have a Lightscribe drive in my HP P6540F. I used it six months ago successfully, but not since. Now, when I try to use it, my software reports that there is no Lightscribe compatible hard drive to be found. I also happened to have an external Lightscribe drive and installed it to use as a back-up. Same prompt...no Lightscribe drive hard drive found.
I installed a second CD labeling/etching software, but it didn't fix the problem, i.e., same prompts back from both.
In researching the issue, I noticed that the former Lightscribe website is now defunct. I smell a legal issue.
Has HP severed ties with Lightscribe? I am wondering if the HP updates over the past six months have defeated the Lightscribe capabilities of my (two) drives, i.e., the hardware.
If that's not the case, any suggestions for resurrecting my drives? Possibly a registry issue?

Hi,
Review the information posted in this thread.
HP dropped support for Lightscribe long ago and you'll be lucky to even find a new Lightscribe optical drive even being manufactured.

External Hard Drive no longer being recognized in Finder

My Seagate Ecternal Firewire hard drive was accidently unplugged a few minutes after transferring about 11gb of files to it. When I plugged it back in it is giving me the Error Message: DISK INSERTION then below that it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." It shows up in Disk Utility but gives me no options under the First Aid Category. Is there anything I can do to get the files that were on there back? A friend told me he believes I just unplugged it while it was doing some sort of "janitorial type work" after the file transfer because no applications were running at the time that it was unplugged. I dont see why unplugging it at that time would make me lose 250+gb worth of information, and I really hope that isnt the case. If anyone can give me some tips to figure out what exactly is wrong, or a place to go/ software to use to fix it, please let me know. thankyou

Vaio wouldn't know Mac file system from a hole in the wall unless it has Mediafour's Macdrive software.
It isn't so much updating 10.3, it is more updating your Disk Warrior to match your operating system. What version of Disk Warrior do you have?
P.S. note this is the 10.4 forums for Tiger. 10.3 is Panther. Future questions regarding 10.3 should be directed to the 10.3 and earlier forums. Though I'm happy to continue to try to solve your problem here.

Okay everyone I was able to resolve the issue with my scanner.
After posting here I recalled how my wireless mouse was acting up and the step I took to resolve that issue, so after uninstalling the hp software I went to the Library/Preference folder and removed all the hp scanjet plist and all the other related scanjet files.
I emptied the trash can and restarted my computer and then reinstalled the updated driver and "walaa" I was once again able to create magic.
Well thanks to everyone.

TS1591 my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything

my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My internal hard drive isn't being recognized on my macbook pro but when I put the HD in my Mac Pro (desktop), the desktop computer recognizes the HD. When I insert the installer CD on my laptop, it also doesn't recognize my hard drive. Please help!

I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.

Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

My Apple ID is no longer being recognized after IOS5 update

My Apple ID is no longer being recognized after upgrading my I-Phone to IOS5. When trying to update my aps, it asks for the password and doesn't recognize it when I enter it. I've been through the entire "Forgot my ID" process, but nothing's working. Can anyone help please?

Me too my real worry is that we will not be able to download software updates as it seems to me that the original software was installed using the old ID

I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

A few things to try:
1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
2-Zap the PRAM
3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3. Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera

In FCPX import, CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera, not as a hard drive. How can I get FCPX to recognize it as a drive?

This usually is caused by have some folder at the top level of the drive which is named something that could be in a camera.
Names like DCIM, Private, Video, AVCHD and others.
Just find the folder with a suspect name, and change the name or store it inside another folder.

I transfered all my G5 files onto a drive and am now trying to transfer to my new Mac Mini. I've selected my source as "another disc" but my drive (a rugged 500GB drive) isn't being recognized. Any tips?

My Lacie Hard Drive is no longer being recognized by my MacBook, please help.

Hi all,
I have a Lacie external hard drive (LaCie Rugged XL eSATA 3Gb/s | USB 2.0) that I have been using on my MacBook (timemachine) (late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.9.1). One day it stopped being recognized, not showing up on the desk top, the disk utility program, etc.
I Googled many articles, blogs and support communities but have yet to find any solution. I also went to the Lacie support site and followed the trouble shooting instructions - changed my power source, usb cable, and tried the drive out on 3 different computers. The results: The drive works fine on the other computers (OS X and Windows) using the same power and usb cords. So Lacie recommened I contact Apple but my MacBook is not under warranty so I have decided to try my luck with the Apple Support Community. If any one has had this problem or knows the solution, please let me know. I would like to continue to use my MacBook with this Lacie hard drive.
Thanks

Hi Dibenkorn,
Yes, both USB ports are not recognizing this lacie external hard drive. I also tried the SMC reset but that did not change anything. I have another external hard drive (smaller one) and it works on this computer fine and like I said before the Lacie works fine on my other (older) MacBook. I just can not figure out what went wrong or what happened...

IPod classic no longer being recognized by iTunes

iPod classic version 2.0.4 is not showing up in my iTunes anymore. I can see it listed in my device manager under Other Devices as iPod with a yellow exclamation point, although I've followed the instructions in this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and I get an error stating "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified."
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes already. I also have an iTouch 5th gen which is being recognized fine, the same iPod classic is being recognized on my laptop fine but my pc is what has all my music is.

I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

DVD not longer being recognized on iMac with Lion

Looking for help / ideas. I don't do this often, but placed a DVD in mac to watch a movie and it's not being recognized.

Is it doing the same thing with all discs or just the one disc? If it is just the one disc then your drive is fine and it's more likely the disc at fault, but if it's happening with several discs it points to the drive itself.
You could try running a cleaning disc through it and see if that helps.

Drive no longer being used by time machine: delete some files?

Tried unlocking and allowing myself to read and write. Nope. Tried holding down the option key. Nope.
This drive is no longer being used by time machine and I want to delete some files on it.
Is there a way to do it without wiping the entire drive?

It wasnt a dedicated backup and there's other material on it that I need to keep.
That's a problem (as you've discovered). Time Machine works best if it has it's own, exclusive partition. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #3 for details.
Aha! Just found THIS. I'll post if it works. http://www.celiamania.com/wordpress/?p=1038
That will let you delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items.
If you don't have room to copy the "other" stuff elsewhere while you erase the disk, you can delete the Backups.backupdb folder. Emptying the trash will take a very long time, and may give you permissions and/or locked file problems. If so, see #E6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Headset No Longer Being Recognized

Hi,
I am currently using the Nokia X3 mobile phone with the nokia headphones that came with it. Everything was working fine this morning until this afternoon i plugged my headphones in again and they are not being recognized as being inside the phone meaning that any music or radio i play is played out loud through the speaker.
I have tried using different headphones and they seem to be working fine and i have also tried the nokia headset i use for my phone in my computer and the headset also seems to be working fine in the computer.
I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to solve this problem?
any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, I ordered a new set of WH 05 headphones and they work fine.
It's not the first Nokia I've had this problem with, I believe its to do with the remote(end call/skip) function being damaged when the headphones are used on a non-Nokia device.
I think the moral of the story is don't use Nokia remote headphones on anything non-Nokia...
