Why is there no start button and a clear picture of what is going on?

all operations with Seagate drive is USB driven, whether you copy, read data. or watch videos. Thus, once connected to media player, computer or television, it is controlled by those devices.

Once you plug it in it is self explanatory on what you need to do. Download the Seagate dashboard and it will help you.

Because you just need to connect it to your computer with the cable provided and depending on the type if operating system you have, you will be instructed on setting up. Once it is connected to your computer it is on so no need for a start button. Fyi: I returned it because it kept freezing up my laptop. I wrnt back to using Lacie external drive.

There is nothing on the device itself. You will be prompted on what to do when you attach it to your computer via USB cable. I had trouble with my set up, and ended up calling Customer Service at Seagate. A very knowledgeable and helpful guy talked me through what to do. I allowed him access to my computer, and we got all the bugs worked out. I'd say if you are stuck, go to their website, and call Customer Service.

I installed the Seagate Dashboard. I then scheduled it to backup all my stuff every night. You can see what is going on by opening it via "Computer" from your Start Menu on a PC, there it is along with your C drive....good luck. It works like a charm for me...

I have owned three different kinds and none of them had a start button. If they don't start up when you plug in the ubs cord then go go in programs and click on the computer and find the removable storage drive and double click on it and it will start.

Unofficially, no start stop button to save cost. I have a start/stop on my 500 GB Seagate. Operation of this item (2TB) is simple, truly plug and play. I had a MyBook that was well documented, but did not operate well. Hope this helps. Mine is a 2 TB; it might vary a bit from the 1TB.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

No but beware it is hard to start. I have two of them and both have the same problems.

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

There is no power button, I either unplug power cord at back of unit or reset using my computer.

I have no idea. I just press the start button again after it shuts off, if I want it to go for an additional hour. Don't personally know of one that can, never really cared too much to research it.

Press F2 at start-up, I believe. Don't know of any way to get to it from Windows.

Not that I recall, and it is broken now (start button broke off both that I bought) so it's unusable.

Mine started right away with no issues. I think yours might be defected if it's still not working.

try cleaning it, or might be out of time.or check the tape to make sure there is no clear tape at the beginning.

It's in the menus. Just look. PS, If you are asking this question, you haven't looked in the manual yet. Try that first before asking others for help.

I don't have that problem. Can you try and restart in safe mode, and see if that makes a difference? As I recall, I did delete quite a few items that were automatically loaded at startup.That may help.

There is no light/visual feedback from the device when buttons are pressed.

There is a tiny little elongated button where your thumb goes. Took a while before I discovered it. If you push the back of it [nearest your wrist] you get to the previous window you were on and then push the tiny front part and you return to your starting page. Hope I understood you correctly and that this helps. Win 7 is what I have.
