Using the WD 1TB SSHD externally fails

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum due to a problem that I am experiencing. I upgraded the stock SSHD in my Lenovo y50-70 (Non-touch, 1920x1080) to a Kingston Hyperx 3K 240gb SSD. This SSD is blazing fast and works perfectly. I got the SSD with an ''Upgrade Bundle Kit'', so it included a case to use any Hard Drive externally. After the installation of my SSD I put the stock SSHD into the external case. It worked for about two weeks or so, but then when I used it to back up my second laptop, it completely crashed (I had to pull it out without safely shutting it down). Currently it is constantly powering up and shutting down again. It is on for about 5 seconds. As I opened ''Device management'' (is that what it is called?) I saw that there was an issue with the driver. However, I am unable to install the driver which I got from the WD site. Can anyone please help me out? What should I do next? Kind regards, Jim024z

Okay, so this is a bit confusing for me too. When I plug my external SSHD drive in, when the laptop is on, the laptop detects the drive, but I am unable to open it. If I try to open it and see what files are on there, the laptop crashes, it brings me back to desktop and I can only see the windows logo. I am then forced to shut my laptop off by holding the power button. As I then restart it (without SSHD plugged in) it boots very slowly, and as soon as I arrive at the desktop, it says: ''Do not remove USB station, otherwise Windows To-Go space can be lost'' or something. Then I just wait for about 5 minutes, restart, and everything is back to normal again. Additionally, I can hear the SSHD constantly revving up, and then shutting down again.

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

  • Is there a way to use the eMac as an external monitor

    I haven't used my Emac for awhile, but my 17" powerbook is now having a serious display problem and I can't even see the log-in screen. I want to use the Emac as an external monitor or at least have sharing between the two machines. They are both using 10.4.11. What do I need to do to connect them?

    You need to connect them via ethernet or wirelessly, plus a product such as ScreenRecycler. Conventional video in isn't available on most Macs.

    be sure to have an external trackpad keyboard or mouse as you will loose them on the computer once it is closed.

  • How do i restore my phone using the ipsw from an external hard drive

    I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and don't have very good signal.  One of the guys thought it would be funny to change my passcode, and then forgot it.  Now my phone is disabled, and the computer I used to set it up is in the states.  The signal here is too week to download the Iphone update software via iTunes(keeps losing signal partway through and restarting the download).  Its 802MB so I spend seven hours at the computer lab to download the ipsw to an external hard drive.  I used the instruction I found via google to restore the phone, and its not working.  Itunes keeps trying to download it again.  Not sure how to make itunes read the downloaded version.  Also its not my computer, so I logged into my apple ID on his itunes.  Does this create part of the problem.  When unzipping the file some of the files were encrypted.  Maybe thats part of the problem? 
    Please help if you can.

    Hi joehazelton,
    If you have already got the ipsw file, (assuming that it's a latest version or the version on your iPhone at least), you can try the following:
    If you are using a Windows 7 PC:
    Go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    If you are using a Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    If you are using Mac:
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/[can't recall the folder name]
    Once you locate this folder, copy the ipsw file to this location. Then try to restore your iPhone.
    Please post your feedbacks!

  • Tecra A2: Cannot use the 1680x1050 resolution on external LCD monitor

    Hi All,
    I need to make my Tecra A2 run at 1680x1050 at 60Hz for my new external VW222U LCD monitor which is connected to my port replicator.
    I know the card (which is 82852/82855) can run at this resolution as when using the Intel Embedded drivers it works, just one has to give up all the little nice things when using the standard drivers, like monitor switching etc....
    I have been discussing on many forums over at Intel's site why this resolution is not available by default, it appears that it is not a resolution enabled in the video BIOS which the display drivers read by default, so the vendor need to add it, the reason that the embedded drivers work, is that they don't read this directly from the video BIOS....
    Thanks and regards,
    Adam

    Hi,
    I know that issue, but we have to live with it because it seems that the graphics card vendors are giving some really "default" drivers to the notebook manufacturers.
    I have an Satellite Pro S200 and I also use the Intel drivers from the Intel homepage. But my monitorswitching, etc.. works like a charm so maybe if you install the tools like the "FN-F5" etc.. it would probably work.
    I would give it a try, otherwise: it is like it is.. :/

  • Using the MacBook Pro with external Monitor and Keyboard

    This may be a dumb question, but here it goes anyway:
    Can I use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without having it opened all of the time ?
    I am planning to buy a MacBook for my wife and most of the time she will be using it at her home office.
    I don't want her to use the computer opened all of the time when she is actually looking at the separate screen and using a separate keyboard. Having the laptop opened will only accumulate dust and reduce the lifetime of the built in screen.
    What I would actually need is a kind of "docking station", but Apple doesn't make that - I know.
    So can the MacBook at least be operated without the internal screen powered on while it is closed?
    Thanks for your help

  • Thunderbolt - Using the macbook as an external display

    Hey, just wondering if Im able to use my macbook as an external display for my imac instead of my imac being used as an external display for my macbook? Im using thunderbolt to connect them.
    Cheers

    No. Only iMacs currently support that via Target Display Mode. You can use a utility such as ScreenRecycler or a VPN utiility to display the screen via the USB port, but it will be quite slow. You can also use Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences.

  • How to use the AVMenuItemExecute() with an External Window

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use the AVMenuItemExecute() function in an External window. I mean that I have an opened document in another window (using AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams or a function like that).
    Actually the problem is that the AVMenuItemExecute() is executed on the Acrobat windows which is emplty in my case because I open the PDF file in another window.
    Do you know whether it's possible or not? Whethet it's possible how can I do that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joël

    Actually I want to use all MenuItem so it's not a good way to do this.
    I know it's possible using IAC but I have another problem with IAC. IAC allows to show the PDF file in an external window and to use the ExecuteMenuItem(). But in my case a PDF file is already open before starting IAC. So when I use the ExecuteMenuItem() function this is on my first Acrobat window that the action is launched. Indeed the document opens with IAC is not in an Acrobat window.
    Regards,
    Joël
    Actually it's not possible with IAC.  While IAC does allow you to open a PDF in an external window, and it does allow you to ExecuteMenuItem(), as Leonard explained you CAN NOT ExecuteMenuItem() on the PDF in your external window.  The reason for this is simple - in your external window, the menu items to execute do not exist as the menu only loads inside Acrobat/Reader.
    ExecuteMenuItem() doesn't simply replace having menu items and call the internal code associated with that menu item.  It literally executes that menu item.  So if the menu doesn't exist, it can't execute anything.

  • Using the DateField in an Externally loaded SWF

    Hello,
    I have been having major trouble trying to get a basic PHP
    contact form to work within an externally loaded SWF file inside of
    a parent SWF. When I test the movie on its own it seems to work
    fine (example: I'm able to select a date from the DateField
    component). However, when I open up the parent SWF file and call
    the external SWF file with the form the DateField is basically
    unusable (example: when you click on it nothing happens, no
    calendar pops up to select a date).
    I have no ActionScript on it yet, simply because I figure I
    need it to work before I tell it what to do with the PHP file. The
    instance name on the DateField is "theDate". Any help is very much
    appreciated. Thank you.
    Also, I have just successfully used the contact form on the
    web. But, the only user interface components I am able to edit are
    the input text boxes, not the DateField or the ComboBox I have in
    it as well. This is very odd, I was not aware that anything special
    had to be done using these UI components within an external file.
    Elijah

    Hello 2m,
    Maybe if you were to see it, it may help you out a bit. If
    you
    click
    here for the external file you will see that the components are
    working. However, if you
    click
    here for the parent file and then click on "Meetings" on the
    top menu you will see that they do not work at all. However, if
    someone were to hit the "send" button, the PHP code would actually
    interact with the form. Let me know if that helps at all. Thanks
    again for replying.

  • Has Anyone Used the WD My Book External Drives for Time Machine?

    I'm thinking of getting the Western Digitial 1 or 2 TB My Book (Pro Edition 2 or Studio Edition) External Drives for use with 2 MacPros. Has anyone used these and could I use them with Time Machine? Would I have to reformat them for Time Machine?
    Thanks!
    Ashley

    You may, and probably want to format them, even if not TM use, I would anyway. Not everyone is happy with MyBook Pro and TM.
    I buy bare FW devices and add disk drive of choice, or just use OWC
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire and works well.
    FW800 is also better on the new Mac Pro

  • How to use the BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI in External List Management?

    Hi Experts,
    I am using ELM tool to upload new accounts from an excel file. I need to do some coding before the BPs get created into CRM. This coding is for mapping some fields & doing a few validation checks. We have a BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI for this. But when I try to stop that BADI by putting breakpoints, it doesnot stop. I have assigned the required filter for my implementation of the BADI too. But somehow the breakpoint doesnot work & the control never stops in the BADI implementation. Could the experts out there please help me out in this as this is really urgent...
    Points will be rewarded generously for helpful answers...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sangeeta.

    Hi Sangeeta,
    Set the user parameter CRM_DEBUG_CODE to "MKLIST" for your user in SU3. Put a break-point in the BADI method.
    This will call the debugger once the BADI is triggered.
    Regards,
    Susanta
