Trying to install original drive into secondary bay, but drive is not recognized

I have a DV7 QE, and replaced the hard drive that came with it with an SSD. So far, so good. But then I installed the original drive into the secondary bay, and it is not recognized. Are there some kind of jumper settings I need to set to make it recognizable as an additional disk drive?

I think so. I have never had a laptop with two SATA hard drives but I had to set jumpers on a desktop. The first hard drive was set as primary and the other drive had the jumper on slave. That was a long time ago but you can't go wrong with that. I have noticed that some laptops had disabled the second SATA slot. Make sure that the slot is not disabled in the BIOS.

  • I installed the lastest version of iTunes and when I went to manually sync my iPod I got a message saying error -50.  I tried re-installing the latest version of iTunes but that did not work.  I then tried re-installing an earlier version of iTunes

    I installed the latest version of iTunes but when I went to sync my iPod I got error message -50 and my iPod would not sync.  I tried re-installing the most recent version of iTunes but this made no difference.  I then tried installing an old version of iTunes but it would not install.  I am furious because I bought music via iTunes store and I cannot get it to load onto my iPod.  Can anyone help?  Or can anyone give me a direct email address for iTunes support?  I have been going round and round on Apple's stupid website and cannot find any help or an email address.

    Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
    Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes.  What can I do.

    I bought a  new Ipod (5th generation).  I am trying to sync it to my itunes.  I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered.  I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod.  I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  I did update it to the latest version. How can I get  itunes to recognize my new ipod?

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

  • I am trying to install a translator for web pages but it is not working in this mozilla update?

    I have tried S3 google translator add on but I am getting flash player issues. Reloaded flash player but no luck. I am using windows 8. The new Mozilla update was this morning 5/11/2014. Works fine on my old windows XP machine.

    Hi fournierm,
    Thank you for your question about this add on. I have [Quick Translator] at the bottom of my page on a toolbar I customized. In the meantime you can ask the developer on their support site to make sure that he is aware of the issue as well [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/s3google-translator/]
    I hope this helps.

  • I am trying to install adobe illustrator CS5 from cd but it will not install

    When I install it the message 'installer has failed to initialize' appears. It then advises to download the Adobe Support Advisor. I have done this but the advisor will not respond (I have already installed Adobe Air). I have also successfully run the Adobe cleaner tool.
    Any help please?

    Try downloading it and then run the installer.
    1. Navigate to Illustrator CS6 Downloads page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=illustrator
    2. Sign in with your Adobe ID.
    3. Copy and paste the following links on the address bar one at a time and hit enter :

    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.exe
    4. Save both the files.
    5. Run the .exe file
    In case you still face issues
    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may still be running

  • Trying to install Yosemite from the Yosemite Beta but it will not download

    Hello All:
    I went to the Mac App Store to upgrade to Yosemite, however because I am on the Yosemite beta, I get this message when I click on download.
    OS X v10.10 is already installed on this computer. Use the Updates page to install the 10.10 update or if you would like to download the full OS X installer click Continue.
    There are only two buttons on that dialog box though, one that says Learn More or OK.. no continue.
    Is there a way I can download this from another source?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Paul

    I dont mean to be petty... By the way.. I didnt help you with this question either... So that wasnt the point of my comment. Or my intent to get a pat on the back... I didn't post that for praise... The praise was not mine to be had. (Even though for some reason you gave it to me)
    Just nice to say thank you sometimes when people go out of their way to help you out of their good will, when they dont make a cent.
    If it was just a mistake i get it.. some people make a habit of this on the forums. Just thought I would comment on it

  • I am trying to install CS2 on my new computer but it is not accepting my serial number or activation number?

    This is an old version of CS2 but my old computer died and I would like to be able to use the CS2 on my new computer.  My serial number and activation number are not accepted and need an authorization code.
    Thank You!

    This will probably help:

  • My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

    My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

    Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
    Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
    or...
    You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
    If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
    Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

    Brucebre,
    I am very sorry, but full versions of the ZoomBrowser program and other software originally packaged with your camera are not available for download.  In order to install the software, you will need the original Solutions Disc and a CD/DVD-ROM drive.
    If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

  • Cannot install original artwork into iTunes

    Cannot install original artwork into iTunes.

    +So i recieved my comp back after the second motherboard replace (we won't get into that one),+
    That sounds like the noir household nightmare with our Gateway Vista box (we had to swap out/reinsert virtually everything else but the motherboard).
    +An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToked=”1fc8b3b9a1e1833b”,type=”win32”,version8.0.5 0727.762”,processorArchitecture=”x86’”.Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80073712+
    Let's try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers with that one.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs or specific flavor of Vista)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • I am trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. The dmg from Wacom downloadsand will opens, but when I try to install it the message "Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"

    iMac late 2009 3,06GHz Intel Core Duo; 500gb hard drive, 12gb memory. OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
    '“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.'
    I have been trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. There are several driver packages listed on the website (the device is supplied ready to run with Windows devices) and I have tried tried downloading all the available drivers which apply to my set-up. Some will not open at all and I get a 'Damaged' message on my screen. Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
    If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
    '“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
    I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
    Best wishes
