Try a file manager such as Astro or ES Explorer. I had the same issue with an Android 4.0.4 based TV Dongle and found both of those file managers to be quite helpful. They are both available in Google Play as well. Hope it helps.

Suggest you contact Seagate support. Have had no issues with the drive. Am not using USB interface, connected the device using the SATA connection directly on a Pogoplug device.

Go to the main menu, open the "Administrative Tools" application. Under Storage, select the Disk Managment item. This will bring up a list of all your attached drives. If the drive is in fact seen by your computer but does not have a valid partition or other problem you will be able to see it here. It could be that the drive needs to be formatted or reformatted.

Idk about a straight hard drive install. Not sure how you would access the files. I do, however, regularly connect my computer/iPad to the tv thru an HDMI cable. I can watch files on the unit or stream from the internet.

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)

Frankly I have found NO external drive either desktop or portable that have been particularly easy to work with and customer service of all (WD, Seagate, or Toshiba) either don't reply period or if they do it's gooble-de-gook. Seems as though that the hardware is perfectly capable of storing data but retrieving it is another question. The software is totally, absurdly complex. (Ditto thumb drives with password protected sectors. Impossible!) IT folks decry the fact that no one bothers to back up anything. Guess why?

the only thing I can suggest is to contact Seagate. You can go onto the website and that should answer your questions if not they have a phone number on the web that you can call. Good Luck I hope this can help you

I'm not sure how to answer your question, you can contact Seagate at their toll free number, I have used Seagate external hard drives for years, I am on Windows 7, and it does back up images.

Could you plz put the HDD drive out from the device to check if there is problem with the HDD drive? Also plz check the HDD cable is well connected to the HDD drive? If you want to reset the device, you could go to the "tool" OSD menu to reset it.

I don't know. The hard drive I bought was brand new. You could contact them and ask.

Don't. Get a Western Digital instead. I screwed up and gave Seagate a chance. Oops.

IF you are leaving the HD attached to the system all the time, it is quite possible that you are saving all incoming data/media to the Seagate. The easiest way to check this out is by going to FileManager and then checking the contents of the Seagate. Even if it is full, it doesnt matter- Just select all (using the Shift the the Up/Down Arrows) and copy/paste it in the 'C' of Computer. That should free up almost 490 of the 500GB- as a few basic programs given by Seagate will remain. All the best.

NOT from this seller - I checked both serial numbers on Seagates Warranty Validation page and see "The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service."I have a failed drive, and no response from the seller - can't send it back to Seagate.. uh oh.

Mine has two Seagate disks in it. Same model number, and very similar serial numbers (they may have been from the same run).

USB. I had issues with it mounting drives. ive tried the supported formats like ext2-ext4. it just would not work. you can solve this with the paragon app.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.
