How do I use my Maxtor111 on my apple Macbook Pro? I had used it on PC laptop previously. I connected it and turned it on and the sync button flashed for a long time but nothing appeared on the screen. Can you help?

There is no 'Factory Reset' button as such. If you are running OS 10.7 to 10.10, then you need to start up from the 'recovery' partition (CMD+R) on startup. You will then be able to erase the hard drive using 'Disk Utility' and then re-install the OS.

upper right of the keyboard. If you drag the icon towards the recycle bin, it will turn into an eject, if it is a disk.

It sounds like there is debris beneath the keys. I would recommend using a blower to clear it out.

You have a bad driver. Reinstall your screen driver or clear your P ram by holding the letters P and R and the control button when you boot your laptop. Hold them until it chimes and reboots.

Reset the PMU!

Thank You for using FixYa

When you plug in a flash drive on a macbook pro you will see an icon appear on the desktop with the name of the usb flash drive

Also, by going into the finder, on the left hand side of the screen you will see the connected drives. It should be under your hard drive.


Hope this information was helpful

disconnect hdmi cable and shutdown pc, completely power it off. plug your hdmi cable back in to your pc and power it up. it should properly detect your tv. i use projector mode. tv must stay on while performing this procedure.

If you have "good batteries" installed in the mouse and keyboard and you still have the problem- the best way is to remove the devices via the System Preference panel in your MacBook and then re-install them again. It is important that you remove them first as the system may revert to the previous connection. Good luck!

You're probably not actually flashing the firmware, but downloading the utility to do so. Follow these steps:
1. Quit all other open applications. Open the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware update which is in your Utilities directory

2. Click Shut Down in the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to shut down.

3. Press and hold the power button on your MacBook Pro until the power indicator light flashes repeatedly, then release the power button to begin the update.

A status bar indicates the progress of the update.

Important: Do not interrupt the update.

Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update.

4. Click OK, if the firmware is now up-to-date.

Good luck!
