Re: Satellite L850-0C9 - Cannot use USB3.0 External HDD

Hello!
I'm looking for some help from you guys
because i cannot use my NEW SEAGATE USB 3.0 EXTERNAL HDD 2TB with my labtop (L850-0C9)
my labtop has 2 blue USB port and i guess it is USB 3.0 and i checked it from manual.
but when i tried to copy data to the hard disk, and after 1 minute then it keeps showing the message "the destination you have specified does not exist". it happens everytime.
but i found one interesting point of it that it works great with usb 2.0 port so now i'm using it with that port.
it shows that the hdd doesn't have problem but my laptop does in my logic.
so i updated almost every drivers and firmware from support page icluding intel usb 3.0 driver.
but it is showing the same message as before.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Have a nice easter holiday anyway!!

nope! it is without AC power unit.
but it is working okay with usb 2.0 port..

    Early 2009 MacBook Air. On startup no keyboard or mouse me to login. Neither is the USB working so I cannot use an external mouse or keyboard either. If I keep restarting the machine suddenly sometime I get mouse and keyboard control and I am able to login and work. After sometime though mouse and keyboard Control is lost again and the machine hangs.
    Lately another problem has cropped up. Now the machine starts up and seems to work for longer time but I have no 0 key and USB everything else is fine.

  • Satellite L850/0C9: Toshiba Service Station recommending wrong BIOS update?

    I have a Satellite L850-0C9 laptop and Toshiba Service Station is recommending I install the new BIOS update labelled "Satellite Pro C850 BIOS Update - v6.50".
    Should I install this as its not the same model as my laptop,
    If not why is Service Station recommending I install it?

    I assume this is your notebook and these are all the drivers and BIOS available for this notebook model:
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/l850/pskdla-0c900r/download
    The latest BIOS is v6.50 and it looks to be the right one.
    The Pro C850 seems to belongs to the same series so possibly the BIOS is the same.
    However, the BIOS update is always an sensitive procedure and from my point of view its not really necessary if you dont have an serious problems.

  • USB3 external HDD not behaving on one PC (with USB3, but OK on USB2)

    I have two Windows 7 (32 bit) PCs with USB3.
    A laptop (with built-in USB3) and a desktop PC "PC with an add-in USB3 PCI card.
    Yesterday I took delivery of a Toshiba Canvios Plus portable 1TB USB3 external HDD.
    It works fine with the laptop. It doesn't work so well with the PC (on USB3).
    I already use USB3 ports on the PC for a 3.5inch 2TB Segate external HDD and a couple of USB3 flash drives.
    Those work absolutely fine.
    The new Toshiba works fine (albeit slower than full USB3) on the PC when connected to USB2.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest VIA drivers for the USB3 on the PC and that makes no difference.
    The symptoms are that anything other than small copies (at best a small number of small files) TO the Toshiba are very slow and hang unless I do some other activity on the PC (e.g. open a browser window or start my email client or ......) - in which case it gives a short burst of activity before slowing down / hanging again. If I keep initiating other non-related activities, it completes OK.
    Deleting files also seems to be a bit of a problem (similar issues).
    But not so obviously so. Copying from the device is better (but probably still not perfect).
    The Toshiba was supplied formatted as FAT32 and so I changed to NTFS (by deleting and recreating the partition), but no improvement.
    In Resource Monitor, the disk shows at or very near 100% Active Time whilst the copies are (attempting) to run (even when it is apparently hanging). And the indicator on the device is flashing whilst all this is going on (suggesting it is busy even though nothing is really happening).
    Also, cancelling a copy often takes a very long time to take effect (varies, but could easily be a couple of minutes or more).
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
    I eventually identified the problem. There's a power supply issue on the USB3 card on the desktop PC. Although the USB3 card has an additional power connector (to take a direct feed off the PSU wiring loom which IS connected and live), it clearly isn't getting through (properly) to the USB3 ports.
    I have a workaround, which is to use a USB3 Y cable (like this http://www.cavalrystorage.com/cbusb20002.aspx ) with the main connector on USB3 card/port (for signal and whatever power it supplies) and the secondary connector on a spare onboard USB2 port to get power from that. It is not elegant, but it works.
    Thanks again.

  • Satellite L850/0C9 and HDMI resolutions

    Hi all.
    Ive recently purchased a L850/0C9 and I can't get the HDMI to output at 1360x768 which is my panels native resolution.
    Using a vga cable I can output to 1360x768 just not with HDMI
    Any ideas?
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    > In first sentence you can get right resolution using HDMI but in second this is not possible. Im confused.
    He is able to get the resolution using VGA cable but not HDMI ;)
    *@Devok*
    My notebook supports HDMI and DVI output.
    I was not able to get the resolution using HDMI but DVI output
    From my understanding not all resolution might be supported by graphic card or graphic chip so this might be one of the reasons
    If display driver cause this, then an update should be performed.

  • Satellite L850-b409 - Cannot listen to mp4 video files

    I have proplem in listing to audio in mp4 video files
    I used all video player - media player - klite all player no one can play audio in mp4 vedio file
    please help
    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L850-b409
    part no: pskg8v
    I have windows 8 64 bit
    please
    heelllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppp

    Possibly you dont have installed audio codec which would support the mp4 file format.
    Youve got two options:
    1) You would convert the mp4 files in other format like mp3
    2) You would install an audio codec supporting the mp4.
    By the way: the *VLC player* is a freeware player which supports the mp4.
    So you should try this player too.

  • Satellite L850-13Q cannot write DVDs

    Hello!
    I recently tried to write several DVDs without success. It is a problem that occurred several days ago, out of the blue, since a long time has passed since I last wrote a DVD. I tried several DVD brands, so the DVDs are not the problem. I also used several DVD writing programs (Ashampoo, Nero, ImgBurn), none of them worked. I do not receive any errors during the writing process, in fact, everything runs as it's supposed to. What is more, the disc surface is visibly written.
    But when I insert the DVD, Windows sees it as a blank DVD. I am using Windows 8 (the writing used to work just fine before, also under Windows 8) and I am most certain that no harmful change to the operating system has occurred, since I also performed a clean install of Windows, the result of the writing being the same.
    Satellite L850-13Q DVD Drive (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SN-208AB)
    Help?

    Have you checked burned DVDs on some other PCs? Are all of them recognized as blank discs?
    What is with CDs? Have you noticed the same problem with burning data on empty CDs?
    It is really strange issue and it is not easy to say what the problem can be. If I understand you right the same problem persists with clean OS installation (factory settings), right?

  • Limiting Space used on external HDD for Time Machine

    I'm really clueless on how this works and I would appreciate your thoughts on this. I recently bought an external HDD and I want to limit the allocated space for TM to only half of the capacity. I recently formatted the external HDD to FAT32 in order for me to use it with my other systems.
    Is it possible to make this work? I saw an article wherein you can create a disk image in the external HDD, will that work?
    Below are some specs of my external HDD:
    Objective: Use Time Machine on my 1TB External HDD while limiting the space to only 400MB for back-up.
    External HDD Settings: Iomega External HDD formatted as FAT32 and Master Boot Record

    Hello,
    Here is the best solution I can think of without using any extra software to alter your Time Machine settings.
    You could use Disk Utility to divide the 1 TB external HDD into two partitions (400 GB + 600 GB).
    (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app)
    Warning: Using Disk Utility to divide the drive into two partitions will erase everything on them.
    Once that's done, when you reconnect your hard drive to your computer, and open Time Machine in System Settings, you could assign Time Machine to the 400 GB partition.
    Here is the catch though, Time Machine cannot backup to FAT32, so you would have to format at least the 400 GB partition as "Mac OS Extended Journaled" with Disk Utility. If you want to use that drive with other non-Mac systems, best solution would be to share it over the network.
    That is the best I can think of for your problem. Hope that helps.

  • Cannot use Western Digital HDD with Pismo?

    Good evening,
    I am trying to use a Western Digital Passport 250GB external HDD USB with my Pismo, but it mounts the HDD, but says it is unreadable and then forwards me to the Disk Utility. It seems the HDD but I can't partition it or anything. So, I partitioned it on my G4 iMac, on which it works perfectly, and then removed it and tried to use it on the Pismo; again, no luck! Is this a fool's errand or am I doing something wrong? Please advise as I need more than the 20GB internal HDD.

    spcmiller,
    I am sorry the suggestion did not work but underpowered USB ports on Mac portables is an issue with external USB HDs. You have something else going on which I cannot answer.
    I would suggest posting in the Powerbook G4 (15-inch Titanium):
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=129
    The Titanium also has USB 1.1 ports, has issues with USB HDs, and the forum has more activity than the Older Powerbook Computers. Also, if you wish, perform a search in the Titanium forum for 'USB western digital' for many posts. I saw none that matched your experience. When you post, I would explain that you have a Pismo and were sent to this forum for the reasons I mentioned; you can even link to this thread if you wish.
    Sorry I could not solve your issue.

  • Cannot access my external HDD

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to the forum, but if someone could help me with this I would be so grateful. A couple of days ago, I was working with my external HDD (Western Digital, 250GB, USB 2.0), when my Macbook (running OS 10.5.6) froze and restarted. Normally I can access the HDD through the orange icon that appears on my Desktop and in Finder, but it is no longer there.
    I checked Disk Utility, System Profiler, and USB Prober - and they all appear to recognize a Mass Storage Device. In Disk Utility, I am not able to "mount" but when I click "eject" I get the following message: "Eject Failed. The disk “WDC WD25 00JB-00GVA0 Media” could not be unmounted. Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk." As far as I know, I'm not using anything from this drive.
    I have checked the /Volumes/ folder, and there is nothing but the main HDD of my Macbook.
    I have a lot of data on this drive that I really need, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Other things that I have tried:
    [1] lsof +D /Volumes/ExternalHD could not find my HDD
    [2] Tried a new enclosure to rule out faulty wiring, but I get the same results
    [3] Also of note, I cannot click "repair disk" in Disk Utility, because it is greyed-out
    [4] I have tried using Disk Warrior and Data Rescue II, but they both freeze when my external HDD is running

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can I use my external hdd with OSX server

    Hi i am thinking about using OSX server, but I dont have very much space on the computer I would b running it of of so I would store everything on my 4TB Wd external HDD. Is this posible, and how would I set it up to do that? Also, my external also has some backups from other computers on it and will I loose any of that? I would probably partition it so that 1TB of it has all the servers files and everything.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Yep you can use any connected drive for server storage, its under the settings tab called Service Data
    No you wouldn't lose anything on the drive (assuming its Mac formatted) but clean partition would be a good idea

  • Is it possible for me to sync to multiple computers using an external HDD?

    I just bought a 1TB external HDD and have all my music on it, as well as the installed and latest version of iTunes, as well I think I have the iTunes media file on there as well.
    So using all of those things is it possible to sync my iPhone 5 to multiple computers? Like can I start syncing on my Laptop and unplug and cancel the sync and continue it on my Desktop
    If there is I would imagine that it has to be either really easy or really complex. Either or I would like to know if it is possible!
    If you need any more info just ask and I could provide anything that isn't personal.

    Yes, if you have the entire library organized properly on the external drive then you can connect it to any computer running the same build of iTunes. See make a split library portable for details. You should also keep a backup on another drive.

  • Using an external hdd with windows on boot camp

    Im looking into using boot camp, and was thinking about the option that you get for seeing files that you create in XP within mac OSX, well, wot would happen if i had an external hdd?
    ive got one connected thru firewire, and when i use "Get Info" it tells me the format is Mac OS Extended.
    Now, would that be recognised within XP, and would i be able to move/store files onto it, and then use them within OSX
    If it could, then it would save me having to use a large partition for XP, and the alternative format type.
    If anyone could help me out
    Cheers

    Im looking into using boot camp, and was thinking
    about the option that you get for seeing files that
    you create in XP within mac OSX,
    well, wot would
    happen if i had an external hdd?
    You would need to ensure that both the Mac OS and Windows XP OS had read/write privileges.
    ive got one connected thru firewire, and when i use
    "Get Info" it tells me the format is Mac OS
    Extended.
    Now, would that be recognised within XP,
    No, not without third party software.
    and would i
    be able to move/store files onto it, and then use

    You could is you used MacDrive which will allow you to read Mac formatted disks on a Windows PC.

  • Cannot see my external HDD in Lion

    I just installed Lion and I cannot see 2 of my 3 external HDD. I can see the two harddisks in Disk Utility, but as far as I can see, I cannot do anything with it. How can I make sure I can see my external HDD again? And preferably without formatting the disks.

    BTW, I have solved the problem, but personally I think this is not the way it should be solved.
    The problem seems to be the type of formatting of the harddisk. The two HD that I could not see were MS-dos formatted. I copied everything from the disks and formatted to a Mac-format. Then copied everything back (all together this cost me for two HD about 6 hours!).
    Then I installed Lion again, and now I can see the HD and the files.
    Personally, I think it is very bad that Lion does not support MS-dos formatted HD and Apple should solve this issue.
