Re: A hard drive that doesn't like anything anymore...

I'd try re-formatting, but I'd rather not lose the stuff already on there. If I can move files from the hard drive, I'll try it that way, but if they decide to go missing again, I'm buggered anyway. Having said that, I've just tried to perform a similar operation on a USB memory stick, and the same ...

A hard drive that doesn't like anything anymore...

Sorry to trouble everybody, but I've been buggered by technology again. I've got a 1.5tb Samsung hard drive connected to my TV to play videos from via USB. It's been there for a while and is in need of a sort out as well as the addition of some more files that have been sitting there on the computer...

Re: Wireless TV senders interfere with Wi-fi

Thanks for the help, guys. I tried changing the channels on the senders, all of which would eventually knock the wireless out. I might give changing the router channel a go at some point and see if that helps.

Wireless TV senders interfere with Wi-fi

I've finally managed to set up a Logik Wireless AV sender so we can pick up Sky in the kitchen. However, once that was sorted, our Sky router started playing up, giving us orange lights and no connection. I eventually realised that it started working again once I turned off the AV senders. Now, cons...

Samsung media player being a shit

I had a feeling this forum was running short of technical queries... ;) I have a Samsung TV with a built in USB reader media player thing which usually works very well. However, I've put some widescreen videos on there and they've become squashed into a 4:3 aspect ratio, despite being exported, and ...

Re: Wireless Home Networking and all that bull...

Thanks very much, Sput! :D I don't know how the hell I managed to make such a mountain out of that molehill. I was about to say it wasn't working but typing the afp:// into Safari connected it. I can only assume the password requests on top of the key for my router makes it secure enough?

Wireless Home Networking and all that bull...

Firstly, let me start off my apologising for these non-stop technical queries I seem to end up flooding this forum with, but heck, you guys help a lot. Hopefully, as I thought with my last post, there shouldn't be any reason to post another query again after this one... not for a while anyway... So,...

Battery calibration...

Haven't posted a technical query for a good few days, so I thought I'd post one... :oops: I've just tried to follow the battery calibration steps on my new Macbook Air. I drained the battery, then started charging again, but then realised about an hour later that I was supposed to leave it asleep fo...

MyBook Studio issues with Windows 7

Yet another amusing technical issue I can't solve... I've just bought a MyBook Studio external hard drive with Firewire 800 connectability. The one I had, another MyBook, ran on Firewire fine until recently when I began getting BSoDs everytime I tried to connect it to Windows 7. This time, however, ...
