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 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---

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HP simple save hard drive

I dropped my HP simple drive on the floor after saving files in it. Tried opening it on my laptop if it's ok but it won't let me run it. I wanna know if I will still be able to retrieve all the save files from it esp. the pictures of my daughter since birth. Can someone help me solve the problem, please?

You can search the web for "how to open a simple save drive". It quite simple process, U-Tube videos have been made of the process. Then you'll need an adapter to test the hard drive.

HP Simple Save external drive

Hi, we have an HP Simple Save external drive. At the begining it worked fine then we had problems to open it as it took quite a while for it to appear on the finder, but eventually it show and we were able to keep using it for back up. However now we are trying to access our info and we just can find it on the finder, besides the annoying launcher icon. Can someone please help me access my info through any other way? should I try this on a Microsoft desktop?

Are you using HP's software to back up? If so, see what instructions/help/support/forms they have. You're not likely to find folks here that know much, if anything, about HP's software.
If you're using Time Machine to back up, try repairing the backups, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

Using that feature will only Save the Project you are working on through your HP Printer. Any other Save Option will allow you to save like a picture but you can either Save, or Save As or Drag and Drop to a Folder you Create or to an Existing Folder

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

HP Simple Save

Hi, I have a HP Simple Save External Hard Drive. Was working fine last time I used it a coupke of weeks ago however tonight when I try to access data, there is nothing. All my childrens photos are on there, only copy I have. Can double click the C Drive which brings up blue icon but will not lauch HP Launcher. Have been looking for software to download but am unable to find it on WD site and came across this forum.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes if you can recover the files with recovery software, then do so.
After the recovery software, you can try this fix on the video link below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyy5MZphd3U
You may be able to retrieve files after the chckdisk fix cmd that the recovery software did not. Hopefully.
If the data is from an actual SimpleSave backup, it needs the cd emulator to un-encrypt the files.
You will need to get the drive working again so you can run the SimpleSave software.
Once you are able to grab the data, consider getting another drive. This one is failing.
Do keep me updated on your success for future reference if you would be so kind.
Thank you and good luck.

Lion Quicktime loses simple save feature - used after trimming a film

The prior Mac OS X Quicktime version, comes with Snow Leopard, has a very useful feature: After cutting an AVI or MOV coded film it was simple and fast to save the new film as another MOV file. Just a little bit smaller, in a process runtime under 1 minute.
Now it is just possible saving the cutted piece by converting in another codec (MPEG4 for Apple TV etc.), with 1h or more runtime.
This is a very bad enhancement of Quicktime.
APPLE please add the "simple save" feature to an upcoming version again!
