Stopping the device is done to ensure that nothing is being written to the memory card. If you remove the device without first stopping it the information on it can be corrupted. To stop a device in Windows XP: • Double-click on the Remove Hardware icon located in the System Tray.

If you want to investigate this, have fun. • Finally, I am really missing some data on the USB-C. I think the only way to solve this problem is for Apple to send me a new MacBook to test. Apple, send me an email and I can give you a shipping address.

Push qtip securely onto jack end, I left for no more than 5 mins, then pulled it out! I was so happy the jack end was attached, i literally screamed with joy! It may be worth trying without glue, cut end of qtip, push onto broken end as far as it will go, then pull out - good luck.

After determining that the issue was not a faulty cable. We went straight for the cleaning supplies.

I've yet to see a Mac not detect an external display. But if you only see a blank area of your desktop, without any open windows or a menu bar, try hitting the Command and F1 keys to switch OS X back to mirroring the built-in screen. You could also use a standard computer monitor for this job instead of a TV. But looking at how desktop sales have cratered, I'll bet that far more of you own an HDTV than have access to a spare CRT or LCD monitor. (Analog televisions, however, lack VGA and HDMI ports and, more importantly, the resolution to mirror a laptop's display clearly. So in that case, see which friends or neighbors have a spare HDTV or monitor.) Apple's OS X offers a workaround that would better suit somebody looking to rescue data off an unsalvageable laptop before wiping their user account from the machine and recycling it: the 'target disk mode' option that enables a second Mac to browse and copy the contents of the first as if it were an external hard drive.

Too bad Apple has been forced away from Magsafe on the newer laptops. It's one of the best features ever invented. USB-c is 'OK', but lacks the safety of the Magsafe.

If this is a Passport drive, there is no power adapter,please skip to steps 1 and 2. • Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. You can try a power strip or UPS but if you have problems with the drive, try connecting it to a wall outlet. • Connect the power plug into the back of the drive. It's okay if the drive powers on, then off, or if you see some lights come on for a brief second. • Connect the USB or FireWire cable directly into your computer (do not use a USB or FireWire hub). If your drive has more than one port, only use one.

If the OS reports that it cannot find a driver for the drive please see:. Program apps for mac. • • Newer WD external hard drives ship with either Windows NTFS or Mac HFS+ filesystems.

Do not connect both the USB and FireWire together to the computer. • Connect the other end of the USB or FireWire cable into the external drive. The drive should then power on (you shouldn't need to use the power switch), if your computer is on, Windows should detect and install the native Windows drivers for your drive.

Thinkstock Q: My old laptop's screen backlight has blown out. How do I connect another laptop to recover the photos and e-mails from this 'dark' computer? A: You don't need another laptop, you need another monitor. And by 'another monitor,' I really mean an HDTV. Almost any flat-screen model should have two ports a laptop can easily connect to: a trapezoid-shaped analog VGA input and a flatter digital HDMI input. Almost all older Windows laptops include VGA outputs, while newer ones offer HDMI in addition to or in place of VGA. Most Mac laptops come with one of several sorts of digital-video connectors that require an adapter to connect to VGA or HDMI: DVI and its micro- and mini variants, or Mini DisplayPort and the visually identical Thunderbolt.

Once you're satisfied that there is enough tension to retract all the starter rope, block the drum from turning with a screw driver. Fish the starter rope through and secure it to the drum. Then hold the rope while you remove the screw driver so the drum can slowly wind the rope up. If it doesn't retract all the rope, pull the rope all the way out and take the rope off the drum. Then spin it a few more times and repeat the rope tying off process. Once you get it to where it will easily retract all the starter rope, you're done and you can put the housing back on the engine and use the machine. If you need further assistance, please reply with more details below.

Windows doesn't have an equivalent of this feature, although if you can remove the hard drive you can pop into a cheap drive enclosure and then plug that combination into a second computer. If you're truly desperate to use a laptop without a functioning backlight, I can report from my own experience with them (don't ask) that you may be able to make out what's on the screen if you look at it up close and from one side. TIP: BYPASS SCANNER-DRIVER PROBLEMS Just because I write about computers for a living doesn't mean I always know what I'm talking about. And so it fell to my wife to point out that the Canon Wi-Fi printer/scanner we've owned for years doesn't need a computer's help to scan a document or photo; you can pop a USB flash drive or SD card into it, use its own controls to do the job, then plug the drive or card into a computer.

Yes, I could just hook up a force probe and pull it, but that wouldn’t be much fun. Also, I don’t think it would tell the whole story. For instance, an Apple brand USB cable (like the cable for an iPhone) takes about 5 Newtons to pull it out. The MagSafe takes over 20 Newtons to pull out.

It`s a little switch that`s sometimes near the psu socket. Failing all that,check your computers documentation and get another psu of the correct form factor and power. They`re pretty easy to fit (see web for step-by-step guides). I might be a bit late lol but for anyone reviewing this technical difficulty due to being in a rush or disgruntled is possibly cause my a electronic malfunction, unplug all hardware and remove the battery, press the battery for 5 seconds and then 3 times after than to let the pc discharge, and restart the pc after everything is plugged in, in most cases you can unplug the ram, add/HDD and all power supplies before discharge and then reinsert, pretty easy for, once the pc is bootable again, hit F12 and do some memory and HDD tests and running an sfc /scannow to check for any pending errors.

Handoff Not working on Your Mac? Fix AirDrop Sync Issues Permanently • Turn OFF Bluetooth on your Mac. • Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist (In Finder → Click on Go → Click on Go to Folders.)

They also may not include power supplies, which means they’re fully dependent on your Mac for power. Buyers consequently sometimes random disconnections, refusals to mount, a lack of Mac compatibility, or other problems. The is a very good option for the $35 price. It includes a USB 3.0 cable, a wall power supply, and the screws necessary to mount any 3.5″ hard disk inside. Akitio also sells a that’s physically smaller and designed solely for laptop drives. (If you instead want to use the SK-3501U3 with an adapter for a smaller 2.5″ laptop drive, is the one I recommend. It’s not needed for 3.5″ drives.) Akitio’s enclosure is made from thick, solid-feeling aluminum that looks great next to a Mac.

• Connect one end of the eSATA cable into an available port on your computer. • Plug the other end of the eSATA cable into the WD external hard drive. • Turn on the hard drive by pressing the power button located on the back panel of the drive.

You can unplug the USB or FireWire cable and/or power cable at this time. If problems with disconnecting the drive occur, please see for more information. ESata Drives Important: When using the eSATA connector, this device does not support hot swapping (connecting and disconnecting while the computer system is running).

I admit that I didn’t collect too much data on the lightning cable. I find that these suckers break too easily on their own and didn’t need any help from my science experiment. However, you can still see the important point: the MagSafe is easier to remove at greater angles and the other cables are more difficult to remove at greater angles. Oh, what about the 15 inch MacBook Pro? I really didn’t get very good angle data on that one.

I wish I could kiss you right now!!!! My 4 year old broke the headphone plug into 'his' iPhone 4. I was not about to replace the phone or pay for it to be fixed. I used the pen tube method but it got it jammed in there farther. I used the push pin/safety pin method, got the outer metal ring out, but could not get the inner plug out. 30 minutes laterI was scrolling through these comments hoping for another option and I saw yours. Wouldn't you know – there was a Capri Sun literally sitting next to his phone.

If you cannot get hold of the pins, use the needle again and pry higher. You are only trying to bring the pins up enough for it to connect well with your devices. Pull the pins up too high and you will not be able to connect the USB due to it not fitting. Time to test our work. Grab the cell phone or other device and connect the USB micro end. This should now feel snugger and not fall out with a gust of wind.

Rap the chisel with a hammer to rotate the clutch drum in a clockwise rotation. The drum will unscrew from the crankcase shaft. It will normally screw off pretty easily. If the engine crankcase rotates with the clutch drum, remove the spark plug. Fill the engine cylinder with soft clean rope so it will jam the piston. This will let you unscrew the clutch drum. Remove the clutch drum and the clutch assembly.

To eject a device in OS X: • Select the device you want to remove, such as a flash drive, by clicking on it once. • Drag the device to the Trash, which will become an Eject icon as you drag.

It has an adapter that makes it essentially impossible to pull straight out. Here’s a closer look. Of course I still pulled this plug, it’s just that the angle was difficult to define.

Pulling the plug after it had shut down should not have been a problem. You may like to check that you pushed the plug all the way back into the socket and that the switch on the back of the computer is on and the mains plug is switched on (most common causes of computers not starting) If you pulled the plug during the shutdown,that could have damaged the hard drive and the operating system. In that situation the computer will still usually power up,but not load the OS. Please confirm that it doesn`t power up at all,no lights no sound or that it does power up,but nothing loads up. Then we can maybe suggest more things. Well so far absolutely nothing shows any sign of power.

I am ready to open this baby up and fix it from the inside. Would this be a good idea?

If you felt the thumbtack had a grasp, pull it out with a broken piece. Note: If you can’t find the thumbtack use safety pin instead.

(I did look over the paperwork that came with the unit and found no details about this port.).

• Tap Options next to Photos. • Check the box next to My Photo Stream. Photos will automatically be added to Photo Stream when you’re in a Wi-Fi zone.

Time to test our work. Grab the cell phone or other device and connect the USB micro end.

Of course there are still questions left unanswered. • If you pull real hard, would it make the laptop turn in such a way that the cable entry angle changes?

With your smugness quickly evaporating under a cloud of used-the-wrong-tool malaise, you realize that, if only there were a way to save that single frame as a still image, you’d not only have a usable picture, but nerd cred to boot. Fortunately, there are several ways to do just that. What size image can you get? It takes far fewer pixels to create a video image than it does to create a printed image.

Consequently, when you shoot video with any video-capable device, you’re not capturing as many pixels per frame as when you shoot with a still camera. This would even apply to a 23-megapixel DSLR camera in video mode. For example, when I shoot a still frame on my, I get an image that’s 3648-by-2736 pixels.

If your old hard drive will only be needed temporarily, you can consider an external hard drive docking station instead. Unlike enclosures, which are designed to completely cover, protect, and in many cases muffle the sound of the hard drive inside, a docking station such as the (shown below) or version can be used briefly to plug in 2.5″ or 3.5″ drives like pieces of bread in a toaster. There are no screws to mess with here; these are completely plug and play solutions. While I wouldn’t recommend them for extended use due to dust and noise considerations, docking stations can be viable alternatives for one-off access to drives you won’t keep using for long periods of time. On the “easy to difficult” scale, putting your old internal hard drive into either an external hard drive enclosure or docking station is ultra-easy — almost certainly simpler than removing the drive from your Mac. It’s also extremely cost-effective, and there are many times when I’ve benefitted from having an external enclosure around to deal with an older, misbehaving hard drive. Having a 3.5″-sized enclosure with the option of using a 2.5″ adapter strikes me as the right combination for Mac owners with both desktop and laptop hard drives, but laptop owners with 2.5″ drives will be fine with smaller enclosures, and docking stations may work for some people.

• Plug in the power to the external hard drive and let it spin up. • Connect the data cable to the drive first and then to the computer. • Depending on your configuration, your drive may automaticly mount, or may need to be manually mounted. In most distributions typing 'man mount' from the command line will display the syntax and options to mount your drive. Important: On some distributions only the root or super-user accounts can mount and unmount filesystems. If you are unable to mount your drive please contact your system administrator. To disconnect your external hard drive from your Unix/Linux computer: • Ensure that your drive is not currently being written to our read from.
