Toshiba Canvio HDTC710XK31A problem connecting to XP machine

I just bought this drive and the box said it was compatible with XP, Vist, 7 and 8.  I plugged it into my XP machine via USB2 port and the new hardware wizard popped up asking for installation CD, which doesn't exist.  I tried bypassing that and it asked where to find the driver, which I don't know about.  To bypass that I was warned the system would become unstable.
Can anyone give me some clues on what to do to get my XP machine to recognize the drive?
Thanks
Frank

As the title implies, I am having difficulty. I am
using an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport
express to boot signal strength around the house. I
connect to the network with an iMac wirelessly as
well as through my Powerbook. Both systems work fine,
access the internet, print, etc.
Do you have WEP enabled?
The problem you are having probably lies with the encryption key.

  • Toshiba Canvio Restore Problem

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with the restore option on my Toshiba Canvio external hard drive. I have pictures and other media backed up on the drive which I can no longer access. The files are on the drive, but somehow I am unable to access or recover them. The only files I am able to retrieve are the last two backups I made. 
    Here are some attached screenshots.
    In the first image you see my opening an older backup.
    In the second image you can see the restore box. Here is where the problem exists; I cannot see or access any files. If I click on "restore" it comes with a message saying "please select a valid job!". 
    In contrast, in the third image we see a more recent backup where you can see all the files.
    Please help!! How can I fix this problem and restore my old files!

    Hi,
    I'm assuming that NTI Backup Now EZ is what comes with the Toshiba drive (I have a Canvio, but didn't install the Toshiba software)?  And that's what you used to do the backups? 
    I think that NTI Backup compresses all of the files that you backup into ".NBF" files, the files  as shown in your problem2.jpg image.  I did some quick googling, and didn't find any thing to extract files directly from the .NBF files, so you're probably going to have to use the same software that you used to do the backup, to restore.
    Have you tried just clicking on one of the .NBF files?  What happens?  Sometimes apps  associate with extensions like .NBF, so that might just startup NTI  Backup in restore mode.
    Another thing,  in your problem3.png, did you check some of the  checkboxes in the left pane  (to select which directories you  want to restore) before you tried clicking the Restore button?

  • Using toshiba canvio hard drive without using time machine

    Has anyone used the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive to save files to without using time machine?  I want to move files off of my computer onto the external drive not just duplicate all the files on my computer as a backup.

    I guess the external drive is hanging off the Mac..
    Getting access to the drive from PC should be possible.. you may need to move public directory onto the external drive and then set up permissions to do it.. I have not done it and simply would not do it.
    External hdd are cheap enough buy one for the pc.. That is then formatted NTFS which windows is going to natively read.. this will be much easier if the backups are ever required than to use HFS+ formatted disk hanging off the Mac.
    You can also get your dead TC fixed.

  • TOSHIBA Canvio Connect (EZ) Boot up and Restore Problems

    I just recently purchased a TOSHIBA Canvio Connect (EZ) portable hard drive to back up my HP Pavilion. The backup went well. Following the Canvio instructions I created a boot drive on a USB Flash drive. Then I booted up the PC using the Flash drive and pressed the F12 Key as per instructions. I tried several times booting using the drive and pressing F12 but most of the time the computer just comes up normally and twice I got a  screen that read UEFI Boot Services with the option to select UBFI IPV4 Net Card or to select UBFI IPV6 Net Card. The screen shown in the instructions said I would have option to select USB to bring Up EZ.

    HP Pavilion.   ...   pressed the F12 Key as per instructions
    You are dealing with the computer's BIOS/UEFI now. That has nothing to do with the external drive.
    The instructions probably assume a Toshiba computer. You'll need to consult the HP people.
       HP Support Forums
    Ask them how to set up the UEFI in your machine to boot from a USB flash drive.

  • HT1452 I have a Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive on my Mac. I've used it for 4-5 months with no problems, but now cannot add to it (I use it mostly for photo storage) to it. I can still access information previously added. Ideas?

    I have a Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive on my Mac. I've used it for 4-5 months with no problems, but now cannot add to it (I use it mostly for photo storage) to it. I can still access information previously added. Ideas?

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Ignore "There was a problem connecting to server" message in Time Machine

    I use Time Machine via a Hard Drive connected to an AirPort Extreme.  It works great when I'm at home, it obviously doesn't back up when I'm not at home.  My problem is when I'm not at home I keep getting prompts stating "There was a problem connecting to server XXX".  It's incredibly annoying.  Is there a way I can force these prompts to not come up?  I know I'm not connected and don't need prompted.
    How can I make this go away? 
    Thanks for the help!

    Well as long as it's turned on, it will look for the drive to backup to every hour. I don't see any other way around it.
    Other option would be to use an add on program that you can schedule TM with. TimeMachine Editor or TimeMachine Scheduler.
    Al least with these you can schedule backups when you are home. I haven't used either, but I'm sure they will work for you.

  • Time machine problem connecting to server x.local.

    I've recently upgraded my home computers to Mavericks (2 mini servers and 4 macs).  I run time machine services on one of the servers and everything seemed to be working fine (macs succesfully backing up as scheduled, etc).
    Well... this week I needed to restore some files from backup.  While I can connect to the server when booting normally to Mac HD, some of the files I need to recover are in use when doing so.  So I booted to the recovery partition on and selected Time Machine from the menu.  After I selected the server from which I wanted to restore, I was prompted to enter a username and password.  Upon entering, I was greeted with the message "There was a problem connecting to the server 'x.local.'  Check server name or IP address and try again". 
    I've tried using a variety of user accounts (including root and other admins).  I'm also able to ping the server using Terminal by name and address. But alas, no luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance, Dave

    If you open AirPort Utility........can you see the old Time Capsule?
    If yes, click on the old Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Base Station menu (up at the top of the screen where the File, Edit, Window and Help menus reside
    Click Show Passwords
    Time Machine is looking for either the Base Station password  (which may or may not be the same as the Wireless password)....or....the Disk Password.....if you set up a Disk Password that was separate from the Base Station or Wireless password.

  • Toshiba A75 Laptop power connection problem

    I am aware Toshiba has a problem with the power connector on older laptops. 
    My question is this:  What is the approximate cost to have the Geek Squad repair the connector? 
    And - Does this problem exist on the newer Toshiba laptops?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the forums Randysim!
    To be honest, this isn't something that I could even approximate.  It will most likely need to be sent out to a Geek Squad® Service Center.  They will diagnose the problem and provide you with an estimate.  At that time you can accept or deny the repair.  It is important to note that you will be responsible for shipping even if you deny the repair.  This is assuming you are out of warranty.

  • Problems connecting multiple macs to an Airport Extreme network.

    I think this problem is similar to a previous post, but is individual in some ways.
    I have 2 Airport Extreme basestations covering a large flat connected by Ethernet extending a single network. I did try to extend the network wirelessly, but this was plagued with problems where the network would work for 10 mins, then drop out as I think the basestations are slightly too far apart.
    Connected to the network are a number of machines:
    Wirelessly we have 3x iPhones, 1x G4 Cube, 1x iMac (current model), 2x MacBook Pro (previous model) & 1x PC.
    Wired via a hub is an Apple TV, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Denon Home Cinema Amp, PS2
    For aprox 6 months I have had major problems connecting all the wireless machines at the same time. I have played around with the security as per previous posts with varying degrees of success.
    I seem to have the most problems with the iMac. The iMac will not join the network when there is any form of wireless security. Every time I try to set up a password it hangs when trying to join and I finally get the "There was a error joining xxxx network".
    After more playing around I managed to get all the machines working by having no security on the network and locking the network down by MAC addresses.
    Since last Thursday I now have a new problem. The iMac joins and stays on the network perfectly, but the second my second MacBook Pro is switched on and joins the network, the internet connection on the iMac drops out. In addition, as we use the iMac as a media server, all other machines connected to the iMac for either file sharing or iTunes sharing then get the error "the remote machine is failing to respond. Please check firewall settings if there are any". What is strange is that the iMac remains on the network, full signal, independent IP address and the second the MacBook Pro is switched off, works perfectly again.
    I have tried wiping both the iMac & the MacBook Pro and re-installing their operating systems, but this only solves the problem for aprox 24 hours then all of a sudden the issue re-appears.
    Can anyone out there help?

    Let's double-check the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, check the following settings:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing AEBSn's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Problems connecting Macbook to Infocus X2 Projector

    I'm trying to set up my Macbook to project through my Infocus X2 projector using an Infocus Liteshow wireless card.
    I can get the screen to project but the visual comes up looking kind of like a 'negative' image. I've fiddled with my display settings but can't seem to fix it.
    I don't think the problem is with the projector itself because it projects fine from my other DVD player.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Try turning on the White on Black option in the Seeing section of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences when you need to present; this will invert the color of all displays currently connected to the machine.

  • My iMac wants to connect to another machine on startup

    Hi All,
    I purchased a new iMac a few weeks ago and went through the Migration Assistant to move stuff from my old G5. I did it via the ethernet method since I didn't have a fw800/400 cable to connect the 2 machines.  There was a slight hiccup in that it didn't want to transfer the applications just all of my other data.  I didn't mind and went forward.  Now the problem, during the first few days of usage I kept filesharing on the G5 turned on so I could grab various things from its 2nd internal HD.  At some point I switched off filesharing on the G5.  Now I get error messages (currently during startup) that the machine (the G5) couldn't be found and that I should check my network, etc.  For a while I attributed this to the ftp application Transmit.  I had a long email thread with the developer because it seemed that every time I started Transmit that warning would come up.  He thought it might have been an alias in my Sites folder that Transmit was trying to resolve, but that didn't seem to be the case. As part of the troubleshooting process I set Transmits default folder to be a random folder on an attached USB Drive.  So that seemed to stop that warning from happening when I launched Transmit.  However during the startup process of the iMac I was getting the error. It seemed to be happening when Transmit's menu bar icon was loading.  So I turned off the menu bar feature.  Unfortunately the warning is still coming up.  So now I am trying to figure out what process is looking for the old G5. 
    I looked in my Console to see if anything stood out. (I've pasted a snippet below). I see a line item for rpc.statd that references the ip address of the G5, so that looks like something.  But I also see that it is after the line where iClip loads.  When the machine is booting up I get the error message.  When I click 'OK', then the rest of the startup process continues and iClip loads after that.  So not sure what that means.
    If anyone has any other methods for trying to figure out what is trying to contact the G5 I would greatly appreciate it.  Its really getting annoying now.
    Thank You,
    Chris

    Hi Don,
    I thought for a minute I might have found it.  I had a saved search in the "Search For" section that referred to the hard drive on the G5.  But unfortunately, removing it didn't prevent the error from showing during startup.  If it helps I've attached a screenshot of the error message.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • There was a problem connecting to the server ... OS 10.8.4 + WD NAS

    Dear all,
    first my configuration:
    iMac from mid 2012, MacOS X Mountain Lion, 10.8.4, iPhoto 09 v. 8.1.2 - all software updates done and up-to-date
    MacBook Pro late 2011, MacOS X Mountain Lion, 10.8.4
    NAS WD My Book World Edition II (white light), 2 x 1TB (configured RAID : 1TB mirrored), original firmware (01.02.14 with MioNet built on Thu Feb 9 14:11:48 CST 2012 ) NFS, AFP enabled
    a win 7 laptop and plenty of other devices
    everything on a LAN with GB router + WiFi
    I have my iPhoto library on my iMac, but the photos (the originals) stored on the NAS. I have the option "copy photos to library when importing" disabled. So I guess iPhoto has a reference / link in the library to the original files.
    Everything used to work fine until some weeks ago. Not sure what happened but suddenly I got the error message "There was a problem connecting to the server ... Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. ..." when I tried to import photos stored on my WD NAS.  When I want to display any photo stored on the NAS - same thing.
    Now I guess I have a bunch of gray hairs more while trying to get this fixed.
    I tried so many of the tips posted everywhere including booting in save mode, deleting the .plist files (first I actually tried to clean them using Xcode first before deleting them), etc. I cleared out KeyChain. I removed all recent entries (folders) and recent servers from the "history". I tried to connect as guest or named user. There are also no "logIn items" pointing to the NAS. I even tried to disable / enable AFP + NFS on the NAS, not to mention countless restarts of all the machines
    One other thing I noticed: Before that problem occured I was able to select the NAS in Finder and it would show me all the shares. When I selected one of them it was mounted automatically. When I select it now I get "connecting" for a loooong time and then "Connection Failed". Most of the time (not always!) however I am able to get in via "Go -> Connect To Server - smb://<nas server name>). And suddently after that also selecting the NAS in Finder shows me all the shares! Hoever even this not in 100% of all cases. I can replicate this from the iMac and the MacBook.
    I do use an external HD for TimeMachine to back up my data (directly connected via USB). No issues there.
    Not I really don't know what to do any more
    Do you have any ideas? Did anyone ever get a response from Apple with a useful solution that really hit the core of the issue?
    Thank you!

    SOLVED!! and I want to share the solution which worked for me with everybody here. Ultimately I had to install nettalk 2.2 on my NAS as described here: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight . A nice description on how to do that can be found here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423 .
    One last remark: When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the original version, so I can confirm this one works too.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
    I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
    The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
    So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
    Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
    Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
    Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
    many thanks!!

    Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.

  • HT4628 my time capsule has stopped working - have a green light but get an error message saying "there was a problem connecting to the server..."

    I noticed this week an exclamation mark on the time machine icon on the menu bar.
    My Macbook, iPad and iPhone all connect to the network but i get "there was a problem connecting to the server..."
    When I open the preferences the time capsule is off but turnign it back on sends me in a loop of selecting the Time Capsule device (which has a nice green light etc) and then getting the error messgae about being unable to connect. I've pulled the plug a couple of times (this has worked in the past) but no change.
    Any advice would be welcome before I try a factory reset or have to return to Apple for repair (the one thing they are offering as the thing is only 5 months old)

    I also noticed that when I go to finder I see two MacBook Air's that are in my name but have the number (2) and (3) next to the name.
    That is a well known bug in Yosemite.
    Try open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Sharing
    Edit back to the correct name for your Mac
    This may...or may not help.  But, it won't hurt.
    The Mac's name may stay stable....or you may see (2), (3), etc again soon.
    Be sure to restart both your Mac and the Time Capsule after you do this.
