USB SLOT STOPPED WORKING PLEASE HELP ASAP

I have a mac book pro (bought in 2012) and my usb slot (the one close to the sd card slot) has stopped working. I was wondering what can I do to maybe fix this, and with whatever i have to do delete my files?

Try unplugging all peripherals and resetting SMC.

  • USB Drive stopped working - Need help ASAP Please!

    I'm a student, and all of my current work for exams is stored on my USB flash drive.
    It was working fine, and this morning I pulled it out of my Intel iMac (without ejecting, ****) and it hasn't worked since.
    When I plug it into any computer, I get a solid red light, whereas I usually get a blinking red light signaling that something is happening.
    Can anyone help me?
    A picture of the drive with the solid red light:

    I understand the complete and utter "OMG!" feeling you may have. Just calm down, and don't worry. There are somethings we can try.
    First with the drive connected, go to Disk Utility.
    (I'm going to assume you are not a basic user, but if you need more instructions, just say so!)
    Find the drive, and see what OS X says about it. If possible, try repairing it with First Aid.
    Should this not work, as long as your drive is detectable and reachable, there may be a chance to recover the data. I suggest using a program like DataRescue II. There are a few out there. The best ones do cost. I do not know of any free ones, but hopefully someone else will come and help out.

  • Booklet 3G: right side USB slot stopped working. H...

    Didn't noticed the moment I started to experience this, but I have a problem. My right side USB slot, that is near to power connector stopped working: it cannot recognize and work with any equipment. Flash drives and other peripherial, which have a light indication does not light up, not even a blinking. Restarting, putting out battery for 10 minutes does not help. Even in BIOS mode any USB device light indication does not work. Other slots are working properly: device light indication works, the devices are detectable in Windows. Help... please. Any ideas how to fix, or at least to test the right side USB port?

    Probably the easiest way to test is to insert a BOOTABLE usb stick/pen (not a usb disk drive) into the USB slot, reboot and at the NOKIA screen hit F12, which will take you into the boot options.
    You should see your hard drive listed and your USB Device and you can choose which to boot from.  If you don't even see your USB device, that is not a good sign and the port is likely to be faulty. 
    Just make sure that you have a proper working bootable usb stick.  You can check that the same works when you follow the same procedure by testing the other usb ports.

  • My Refine Edge in Photoshop CS6 has STOPPED WORKING, please help!

    Photoshop CS6
    Windows 8.1
    I have been using refine edge with no problem for months.
    everything worked great!
    I was able to extract out hair and edges very, very, very well...
    but about 2 weeks ago...something changed... the refine edge brush no longer works.
    When I click on Refine Edge... instead of a brush icon, I get the CIRCLE with a SLASH and my system keeps dinging because the tool is just not available.
    I deleted my preferences...but it is still a problem
    NOW... when I adjust the sliders, i don't see a preview of the adjustments...
    Please help!!!!

    no difference.
    i have tried to check and uncheck everything...
    if i adjust the sliders, i get NO Preview... but when i click OK, the resulting photo has been completely ruined by the tool...
    I tried deleting preferences...no change
    the weird thing is that this problem was very sudden.  Just a few weeks ago, I was using refine edge with NO PROBLEM. it is my GO TO tool for extracting people out of pictures...
    but then one day, it just stopped working...
    Do i need to reinstall CS6???

  • My Mac Pro stopped working-please help!

    When I press the button to start the computer, it does not start anymore!!!! The silver light above the button flashes rapidly and there is a sound of a high-speed fan. This remains for as long as I let it be going.. I eventually shut it down - with the same start/end button, and the - after a while I tried again, hoping for some reset... But to no avail. When the "turn-on" (start) button is pressed again, the same scenario repeats itself: rapidly flashing silver light above the "start" button, and the sound of high-speed fan... Nothing further... Do you have any idea, as hat might happen?  What is possible to do in order to have it working again?
    Please help! Thank you.

    If it's RAM, you can replace it yourself. Check the memory risers. If one of them has a red LED on, that's where the fault is. It could be either a DIMM or the slot it's in. You'd have to switch the DIMMs around to determine that.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • WRT150N router has suddenly stopped working - please help :)

    I really don' know much about how routers work, so I am hoping you all can help me.  I have a home PC and an HP notebook.  We have a cable modem and a linksys wrt150N wireless router in order to use the laptop around the house.  It was working fine up until 2 days ago, when it suddenly just stopped working.  Nothing has changed.  I've tried unplugging, rebooting, resetting the little button on the back of the router.  I've tried clearing and refreshing the IP address.  The wireless and the security lights aren't lit up anymore.  I have tried to repair but I get the errors can't acquire a network address, and can't renew the IP address.  I've tried reinstalling the cd that came with the router.  I get router not found.  Please make sure the router is properly connected.  I don't know what to do anymore.  I can't get to the router set up because I can't use the internet without bypassing the router and connecting directly from modem to computer.  Is there any way I can fix this or is this router toast?  We've only had it for 2 years.  I am running XP on the PC, and Vista on the laptop.
    If anyone has any idea what is wrong, please please let me know.  I have school work to do on the laptop and really need my wireless connection back.
    Thanks so much.

  • Printing subsystem has stopped working - please help

    I have had my imac for 4 months and now priniting has stopped.
    I have a canon 4300 for prints and an HP office 6200 for B&W everyday stuff. The canon is directly attached via usb and the 6200 is attached to my new AEBS. i can configure my canon just fine using print and fax utility however it finds the HP via bonjour automatically but when i push ADD it gives an "error trying to add the selected printer" and the error says "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes."?
    I also seems to find the same 6200 printer as a shared printer and will config and add it ok but somehow i dont think thats correct.
    When i try to print to the canon i get an error from any application - some say not enough memory - I have 2GB. Same thing happens when i try and print to the HP. THe strange thing is that I can use the maintenance utiliies to get to the canon and it runs them so the connection is ok something with the print subsystem.

    Plot thickens, I can print to these printers just fine from my wireless attached macbook pro! Interesting it sees the HP as Bonjour and the Canon as direct attached - it does see the extra HP "shared". This seems to be isolating it to the imac and not the printers or connections. Please help this is tough,

  • Realtek Mic stopped working Please Help.

     I'm on a Toshiba NB205-N325BN, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Atom processor N280 o 1.66GHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset. Audio Driver is  a Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 6.0.1.5904
    My internal mic stopped working. I'm not sure how long it hasn't been since I don't use it all the time, but when I went to use skype last night I found that the mic wouldn't work with anything even the sound recorder program in the accessories folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but to no success. I figured I give this forum ago to see if any one could help otherwise I'll have to call the Toshiba support line or do a clean install of windows (which I do not want to do at this time.)

    I actually got in contact with Realtek's support via e-mail, and they sent me a program to install that will let them check their devices that are on the machine. After I ran the scan this is the conversation that we had:
    Realtek: "We found you had plugged a external mic to microphone jack. Have you tried to unplug external mic and then check the built in mic ?" 
    Me: "I don't own an external mic, but I did plug in my headphones into the mic port by accident recently maybe that was it? I don't have anything plugged in right now and it's not working."
    Realtek: "Please try to dump audio info again(run the scan again) during recording interanl mic sound."
    After I ran the scan again they sent me these instructions, and I'm kind of confused on what he means (I think the support is in Asia somewhere and they are translating each message at a time.)
    Realtek: "We tried to check it with TOSHIBA. Your machine supports audio prower download feature after audio idle status. You can try to turn off this function on the Power Manager Page of Realtek HD Audio Manageer. Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state .
    Can anyone help me understand that last part? I went to the Audio Manager and I didn't see a Power Manager page anywhere! Does "Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state." Mean that it might start working if I try to use it with headphones?

    Pls can you expand on what you wrote and suggest a solution (btw I chose Bc because I am not very experienced at webdev and know next to nothing about js).
    I received this message from the support ticket I submitted:
    "I have escalated this ticket to our Engineering team for a more detailed investigation.
    We will keep you informed on any new developments on this issue. In the meanwhile, please try adding {module_shoppingcartsummary} to the Shopping template/layout that should fix the problem."
    I have added {module_shoppingcartsummary} to the page content layout (and hidden it with js because I don't need it) and it seems to be working again.

  • My WRT54G suddenly stopped working please help.

    Hi, i recently configured the security of the router, and then when i pressed the auto connect on the router it can no longer send a wireless signal... i tried to press the RESET button on the back, it should return it to the factory setting right? but when i connected it it wont give me good ip addresses it says limited or no connectivity, even if i manual set the ip. then try to access the home page it would not work.
    i have some ideas how to fix this but i dont know if it is possible or not. :
    1.) reset the router from a computer without accessing the page.
    2.) go to a service center (if there is an available in the philippines...)
    3.) overriding the firmware without accessing the page
    please help, or else i would need to spend another 40-50$ for a new router T_T
    i also tried to download the easylink firmware, or the easlink connect
    but i get a 550 error when accessing the page, the online chat is no help either, they say i am on first queue but no one is answering :/

    Hard reset your router for a minute...
    Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...Now check if you can access your router set-up...
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
    If you get the above mentioned ip address and gateway then you should be able to re-configure your router...If you get an IP Address of 169.254, then reset the router again...If still you don't get the above mentione ip address and gateway then  you should give a static ip address on the computer...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...Now try to ping the Default Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter, see if you get 4 replies...If it does not then try to diable and security softwares/firewalls on your computer and try to ping it again, you should get 4 replies...
    If you get the set-up page then you can configure your router...

  • Backup stops working, please help

    I have an original iPhone (metal Back) and for the past 4 days, my phone will not backup in itunes. I'll get an prompt saying "AppleMobileBackup.exe stopped working. Windows will now closed program" I close out the prompt, and itunes will sync my music like normal but will not backup the phone. I tried uninstalling itunes completely then reinstalling it. I still get the same message when i sync. I also checked my previous backups so that way i can restore, but when i checked, it showed that itunes had no previous backups stored... so i'm really resistant to restore as a new iphone since there isn't a backup to restore to. Any idea as to why im getting this error message. This has never happened before. I have the current 3.1 OS as well as iTunes 9.0.1 What should i do???

    Hi
    What follows is a fix that should get your 2g iphone back up and running.
    Prep:
    Iphone os 3.1 updated downloaded and saved somewhere on your mac or pc where it can found without much effort.
    Iphone 2g 3g 3gs
    Itunes 9
    Sync cables.
    1: Start up Itunes and making sure iphone is powered on and in restore mode plug it into computer.
    2:At the same time press and hold both the power and home keys and continue to hold them until the phone powers off (about 10 seconds). Once the iphone powers off release the power key but continue to hold the home key for another 15-30 seconds or until it is recognized by itunes. At this point the screen on the iphone should be black but you will see an indicator pop up in Itunes stating iphone detected in restore mode.
    3:Click continue or okay and once you get to the restore screen hold shift or ctrl options key and click restore. It will open a file browser window. Navigate to the folder holding the 3.1 updated and select it and hit ok.
    4: now your iphone should begin the update process its screen should turn white and then to the apple logo with the loading bar.
    This process works by placing the iphone-itouch in dfu mode to do a restore.
    If this does not work for you or if you cant get it into dfu you mode google iphone dfu mode and you should find a walkthru.
    Hope this helps!!
